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

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

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

Student Life Division 7 To wish upo8: a onderful weekend Y our English essay came back with a sea of red on it, you bombed your math test, you got into a fight with your psychology teacher, your locker wouldn't shut, and you were wondering if the week would ever end. All you could think about was Friday night. Even when you had no big plans, weekends were a precious break from the same old grind of school. "l need my weekends as a time to cool off from the tensions 1 face at school, " said Brad White '86. Many students thought of the weekends as treasured catchup time, especially for extra · shut-eye. "l look forward to weekends as a great time to lie in bed and snooze until noon, instead of getting up at 6 a.m. every morn- "If I didn't have weekends to take a break from school and enjoy free time, I'd go nuts!" - Karen Olson '85. ing for school," said Carter Larson '86. Most of all, people looked forward to weekends as a time for special plans. Movies, get-togethers with friends, dates, and shopping were several favor· ites. Weekends were so special, in fact, that some students spent many hours Monday through Friday dreaming about them. Libby Campbell '86, said she often dreamed up this pleasing scenario: "My parents go out of town, and 1 have a huge party. Everything goes perfectly, and to top if all off, my parents nevGO DIRECTLY TO JAIL! Cher y l Martin, Miche lle Ross, a nd Laurel Martin pla y Mono poly o n a Saturday afte rnoo n. er find out. " Surprisingly, 48 of 75 students polled said their actual weekends almost always measure up to their daydreams and fantasies. On the contrary, other students said that to guard against letdowns, they tried not to s pend too much time daydre aming about or planning weekends. " A group of friends and I had planned to go to Omaha to see The Outsiders. We decided to go to Pizza Hut before the movie. As it turned out, we all went to different Pizza Huts," said SHOVELIN' IT IN, .La ura Roeder gets quick nouris hment from a Burit o S upreme on a Sund a y afternoo n . 8 Student Life - Necessities Terry Larson '85. " We spent the whole night looking for each other and never saw the movie. That night was a big mess." Many students said spur-ofthe-moment activities appealed to them most. " l think weekends are better when they are spontaneous because if I've made p lans for my friends and me, and they don 't work out, 1 feel guilty," said Becky Golden '84. Spontaneous or planned, fa - vorite weekend activ ities changed considerably since a poll in the 1983 y earbook . Cruising Broadway and dancing at Buffalo Billy's lost their popularity to more re laxed, friendly activities. While only 7 of 75 polled listed cruising as a favorite , 33 said that going to a friend's house was their favorite.

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

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

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

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

Thanksgiving , Christmas, spring break, and several snow days all made for a year full of rest and relaxation for some and fun and frolic for others. Students found Christmas and Thanksgiving vacations more special when two days were added to both short breaks due to snow.

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

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

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

"I work in a day care center after school, and with little kids crawling all over me, I don't dare risk ruining a good outfit," said Cathy Holcomb '85. T-shirts made up a large part of many students' wardrobes. Boasting everything from rock groups and animals to favorite sports teams, t·shirts displayed students' tastes and interests. "I think t·shirts are classy," said Ed For· manek '85. "That's all I ever wear."

As cold weather set in, sweatshirts were a staple for students who wanted to keep warm. Inspired by Flashdance, the newest sweatshirts had the sleeves and neck cut off and were pulled over polos and t-shirts. In basic grey, pastels, or brights, they had anything from Chinese symbols to ducks printed on the front. " Sweatshirts in the newer styles are com· fortable without being sloppy," said Kelly Groce '85. Casual students favored tennis shoes, and updated the old look with velcro fasten· ers and tri·color hightops. Vans, the check· ered or printed canvas shoes from Califor· nia, decorated the feet of other girls and guys.

Forty-five out of 100 students surveyed said they often chose dressy clothes to make sure they looked their best. The dress-up look in guys' clothes con· sisted mainly of crew neck sweaters, ox· ford shirts and Levi's, with dress pants pro· viding an occasional change of pace.

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

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

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

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

Dance planning began in September as m embers decided on the them e and decora· tions. Bostwick alone contacted the photogra· pher, picked out the Christmas trees, and bought all t he red, white, and silver decora· tions.

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

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

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

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

Although her father felt her modeling was a passing phase, Maureen said she was serious about continuing her career. " l feel modeling has changed m y life. I am more self-confident than I was," Maureen said. "MODELING SCHOOL HAS PROVED to be a challenge for me. It has s hown me that a model's job is not as easy as it looks," said Maureen Liggett, who flips through a text from modeling school.

While math instructors complained that with only one free period, they had no time to give students extra help, English teachers charged that their required classes were too large for individual writing instruction. Elective teachers claimed, on the other hand, that their classes were too small because students didn't have time to take elec· tives in a seven-period day filled with requirements. Yet, in quiet, personal ways, many of us made the best of every minute in the day to insure our own and other's involve· ment in as many clubs and classes as possible.

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

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

"But we had to audition only three months pri· or to the concert." But honors were not achieved easily . For swing choir, awards meant three hours of practice every Monday night, in addition to regular class and early morning prac· tices. To prepare for an average of 30 performances plus competi· tions , swing choir members es· timated that they practiced some songs 200 times. At many practices, dancers stood with arms extended toward the ceil· ing, waiting in agony for several minutes until each dancer got every finger pointed exactly the same way at a synchronized moment. "Sometimes we're forced to stand in the same position for 10 minutes to perfect a step that lasts only a split second," said Anthony Deal '84. "It can get to be exhausting."

Choirs 51 • IIJ ll)ore On Oct. 18, members spent a chilly afternoon at Camp Neyati, where they met in small groups, discussing goals and getting to know each other. " I wish we could do things like that more often. It gave me a chance to meet choir members I didn 't really know," said Bev Bracker '85. Activities included scavenger hunting, eating lunch, and learning to improve communication . The day ended with each student filling out validation certificates for other choir members. These little notes to one another expressed appreciation for individuals' special qualities. Each student was to fill out at least five notes, but many found themselves writing 10 or more. "It was a great way to express feelings for someone you knew and to get closer to someone you wanted to know, " said Andrea Kunik '85. 52 Clubs, Courses The swing choir's annual trip to perform at Conception Abbey in Northwest Missouri proved to be another getaway which brought members closer together. " The main purpose of the trip was the NWSMU contest and the performance for the monks ," said Leslie Wrinkle '85. " But we had a great time running around and being crazy.

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

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

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

At the Iowa High School Speech Association's district competition, 21 out of 28 entries advanced to State.

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

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

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

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

The basic Ian· guage included the reserve word SA VE, found in the ROM of the Apple 2e." So said math instructor Con· nie Byrnes as she addressed her computer class, but her spiel sounded like a foreign language to new students. "Mrs. Byrnes kept talking about crashing your disk, and I envisioned my disk breaking into a thousand pieces," said Stephanie Gilmore '85. " In reali· ty, crashing your disk means losing a small part of its memory." More and more students were becoming familiar with comput· er lingo, as the machines that seem ed to have minds were used increasingly in math, busi· ness, and science. A highlight of the basic com· puter math class was a graph· ics unit in which students ere· ated pic tures on the screen. ath, Business, and Science Shrieks of excitement filled the room as Julie Bostwick '84, finalized her program after 14 hours of work. When running water and a sunset finally ap· peared on the screen, she could hardly believe it. "I was ecstatic. I ran it over and over again to see how it looked!" Bostwick said. In the new advanced class, students worked on more com· plex programs, yet the Math and Computer Club made a poor showing at Creighton Math Days. "We took a good group to Creighton, but we were so far behind the Omaha schools, we couldn't compete," said John "My computer class is very important to me because computers are becoming the way of the future, and I intend to make them a part of my future." - Angela Hauser '85 Cairns '84. "They knew three languages while we know only one." Although some of the stu· dents who participated felt infe· rior, Byrnes said the program had come a long way, pointing out the addition of six classes in the past three years. Despite disagreement about their computer proficiency, stu· dent s were learning to program for practical purposes. Andy Hofert '85, wrote a pro· gram to help teach elementary students to tell time, while Peg· gy Button '84 wrote one which taught musical notes.

The business department em· phasized familiarity with, not programming of, computers. " We learned about the com· puter itself and how to work with discs that had already been programmed," said Dean De· vereaux '85. Anxious to get Accounting 3· 4 students " off paper and onto computers" business teachers ordered 20 computers for the 1984-85 school year. In the science department, chemistry and physics students wor k ed w ith computer s in some experiments. " The computer added variety to the experiment," said Lori Smith '85. "Each group worked with the computer individually, which was a n ice change of pace from lectures." Although students tended at first to shy away from comput· ers and their strange new Ian· guage, most found m astering the m achines to be a refreshing learning experience.

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

The girls held their breath while the announc· er screamed, " Our first place trophy goes to the outstanding JV squad from . . . Abraham Lincoln High School!" The whole squad became ec· static," said Helen Poulos '85. "We worked so hard all week for perfection, and it paid off!" The entire porn pon squad also attended a summer camp.

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

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

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

Student council also made $25 donations to four charities and organized the Hunger Hurts drive. After making 10 posters and 8 announcements, mem· bers were disappointed when they collected only 37 pounds of food. 'Tm happy that we helped one family, but it's discourag· ing that this big student body couldn't contribute more," said Debbie Armstrong '85. The student council was more successful in collecting blood than food.

Courtesy Club members also served as ambassadors from AL to the community. On a September Saturday, they escorted parents, teachers, and adminis· trators from all over Southwest Iowa through AL for a state· wide education conference. "Besides normal ushering for performances, we got to greet people from other schools and display AL in a positive way," said Donna Dettman '84. The Foreign Exchange Club helped students learn about the world community. With the $1200 that the club earned from Christmas Dance and a cookie sale, it paid part of the expenses for Michelle Miller '86, to explore France the next year. "I could have gone to France anyway , but it is special to know that I'm supported by such a neat club," said Miller. Unlike other service clubs, Key Club membership waned, and the group carried out only one activity, a recruiting party. "It was disappointing to be in a group with potential, but held back by having only four mem· bers," said Hans Larsen '84. Through guest speakers such as marines, attorneys, vet· erans, and politicians, social studies courses also linked stu· dents with the community. Because it was an election year, politicians were the most popular speakers . " Roger Blobaum talked on controversial subjects , so he created the most discussion," said Linda Benton '85, of the Congressional candidate.

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

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

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

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

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

Another junior, Janette Pearcy, broke the record for best field goal percentage when the girls met Red Oak. "I was really happy when I set the record," said Pearcy. " It became a chal· lenge to try to break the record in other games. " But the forward court wasn 't the only place that found action. Christensen set records for most steals in a game and sea· son, along with the record for most rebounds in a season. " I didn 't start the season deter· mined to break any records," said Christensen. " It just kind of happened along the way." Brown said he was pleased with the overall improvements on the 17· 1 JV team too. The JV's highest point was its win against Tri-Center. " It was a great feeling to beat Tri-Center, " said Nancy Wich· man '85, "because they hadn't been defeated for two years."

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

While all intramural players en· joyed winning, that winning was not the reason most boys went out. Like those who joined bowl· ing leagues and a new soccer team, most participated for fun. " I quit the varsity basketball team because I wasn't getting much play time," said Kurt Gahm '84. Most of the 62 boys out for in· tramurals probably would have agreed with Keith Jones '86, who summed up intramurals by say· ing, " It's a good chance to be with friends, play basketball, and have fun. " Most of the time, sophs, ju· niors, and seniors played harmo· niously . Sometimes, however, upperclassmen took the opportu· nity to show who was boss . Jeff Bowen '85, of the Brick· layers remembered one such oc· curence. " Once Jeff Hopkins smashed a sophomore (Scott Tangeman). It was hilarious," Bowen said. " Hopkins was al· ways fouling people because it didn't matter whether we won or lost." Overall, this just·for·fun atti· tude pervaded the intramural games, even when it came to the championship, which South End Metro earned by defeating the previously unbeaten Phi Slamma Jamma by two points.

" We didn't think we'd do that well since it was such a young team," said Chris Hough '86. " It was a pleasant surprise." According to Jim Winchester '85, the team's success was due to players' many years of exper· ience on soccer teams. They brought their expertise together at daily one and one-half hour practices which lasted near· ly two months.

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

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

"Lifting and hitting with Coach Burns during and after practice really helped me develop a better average," said Backhuus.

Sometimes team morale sunk because after 10 to 15 hours of weekly practice, the team suf· fered from lack of support, often playing for small crowds made up mostly of parents. "It would be nice to see more people in the stands cause it would help us play harder," said Kay . The junior varsity experienced the same disappointments, with a 14·21·1 final record. " We had great athletes who played well, but inexperience stood in the way," said Mike Mar· nin '84. Like the varsity, JV batting averages were good, according to Coach Dennis Koch . Leading were Bryan Mushcall and Marnin with a .365 and .356 respectively. WHAT'S SO FUNNY? Dave Winchester, Jim Westmoreland, Mark Wilson, and Gary Addison joke around before a summer Tee Jay game.

Those were some of the most im· portant characteristics coaches looked for in team managers, who generally took care of nasty but necessary details. " Filling six water bottles, twice a game, two games a night became so monotonous that by the end of the season, I never wanted to see another water bottle again!" said Lori Lepley '85, girls ' bas· ketball manager. Another tedious job managers faced was record· ing every basket, assist, rebound, steal, set, spike, serve, field goal, and touchdown, as they kept team statistics. " The volleyball players would get mad if the stats weren 't perfect every time. They didn't realize how hard it was to keep track of the spike sheet and the set sheet at the same time," said Cheryl Martin '86, volleyball manager. Convincing players that they could finish that last line drill or lose that last pound before the weigh-ins became another job for managers, who often boost· ed team morale. Clark A llen, wrestling coach, said he really appre· ciated how well Nancy Goeser '85, wrestling man· ager, got along with wrestlers while they were cutting weight. " My brother wrestled, so I understood what the GRAB THAT BALL! Volleyball manager Cheryl Martin rounds up the last of the volleyballs after practice. WITH A LITTLE TWIST, football manager Al Mabbitt replaces the face mask of a broken helmet. wrestlers were going through. I felt sorry for some of them because they were so weak from cutting weight and then they had to go through tough practices ," said Goeser. Although some managers felt their efforts went unnoticed by athletes, players and coaches really appreciated the managers ' support. "Al Mabbitt, the football manager, was always there when we had problems with our equipment," said Todd Pettepier '85. " During the Tee Jay game, my helmet broke and I had to wear another one for a while. I was really glad when Al fixed mine because the other one was really uncomfortable." Managers appreciated and respected atheltes, too. After the last home game, for example, Kris Lippke '86, and Lepley, girls' basketball managers, presented the team with a cake. " I thought it was really nice of Lori and Kris to give us a cake after the way we griped and com· plained to them. The cake represented how much they cared and how much they wanted to be a part of the team ," said Nancy Sealock '85. In fact, managers usually volunteered for the job because they wanted to be part of a team . " I've played basketball since fourth grade, so this year, when I decided I didn't want to play, I still wanted to be a member of the team ," said Lippke. And players and coaches were glad that managers wanted to belong, for without them, statistics wouldn't have been recorded, water bottles wouldn 't have been filled, and athletes probably would have spent a lot more time chasing balls.

When we arrived in the fall, it seemed to us that this command had been given over the summer to instill pride and a feeling of safety in us as we walked through a building that had been improved to the tune of $98,472. Red and blue tile formed a large " AL" on the floor in front of the gym doors, and shiny new ceiling and floor tile continued to the auditorium lobby. " The big AL adds spirit and pep. When pe6ple from other schools walk in, they know they're at AL," said Julie Borwick '85. To save energy, new lighting was installed in the gyms and cafeteria, at a cost of $3,778.

But with a wave of her hand, Mother Nature commanded a turn-around in November, when the average temperatu re hovered at the freezing point. From Nov. 16 to Nov . 28, we received 10 inches of snow. As fall wore on, bone-chilling wi nds and still more snow made for a December that broke•a ll records . Students shivered as the 8- degree average temperature for the month caught the school 's heating system off guard . With the blowers out, the thermostats in Room 121 read 49 degrees on the day checked, and Room 225 was w ithout heat for two weeks. " It was so co l d in M r s.

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

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

It seems like they've been appreciated more this year." Antics such as shaving balloons over teachers ' heads, wrapping the wrestling team in toilet paper, and passing a Lifesaver on a toothpick from mouth to mouth added to appreciation of assemblies. Angie Lear '86, remembered the crowd 's shouts of excitement when a cheerleader said that taller players could not bend their knees while playing pass the Lifesaver. "When Brian lifted me up, every one was screaming and laughing. I was embarrassed, but it'll be something I'll remember," she said. Knowing that students would always remember some of the antics they had planned made cheerleaders and porn pon girls feel they had done well. 'Day After' shakes viewers W ith the news that 240 American marines had been slaughtered when a bomb exploded in their Lebanese barracks and that the Soviets had shot down a South Korean civilian airliner, international tensions seemed to peak in the fall. Fears intensified with ABC's "NUCLEAR WAR scares me!" said Scott Schmoker, who watches The Day After with his father, Dennis. movie The Day After depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. " I don't think you can just put nuclear war in the back of your mind," said Karen Kowal '85. "The movie really scared me because it made me realize. that nuclear war won 't just happen to the other guy. " On the other hand, many felt the media hype before the program was unjustified. " I didn't see what all the fuss was about ," said Julie Bostwick , '84. " The movie wasn 't devastating enough to recommend that y oung chi!· dren not watch it." Nevertheless, the reality of two worldwide tragedies, followed by Hollywood 's version of the possible end result of national confrontation, led each of us to speculate, if only for a mo· ment, about the future of our planet. Fall 117 Parents, children live in fear as metro area police launch intensive investigation • • • To catch a killer F rom Dec. 5 to Jan. 12, Omaha families lived in fear. They knew a killer of chil· dren was on the loose, and they didn 't know when he would strike again. On Sept. 21 , the body of Dan· ny Joe Eberle, 13, was found stabbed and dumped in weeds along a desolate road . Soon , though , the media stopped covering the story, and people started to forget about it . . . until a second body was found Dec. 5. Also covered with stab wounds, Christopher Wal· den's body was found in a field six mi.Jes from his Sarpy County neighborhood. Parents began immediately taki ng every precaution to safe· guard their children . They formed carpools to drive their children just a few blocks to school and formed a check·in hotline for children who went home to empty houses. Many kids found themselves getting a lecture on strangers, too. " I remember my parents tell· ing my little br.other not to get in a ca r if he was asked to, just to say no, and start running as fast 118 Our Times as he could," said Steve Miller '85. "Then he asked, 'What if the man has a gun?' I told him to still run because he would probably get killed anyway!" As the murder investigation continued, police pieced togeth· er a sketch of the suspect from witnesses' accounts and circu· lated it everywhere. The huge, deep set, hauntingly dark eyes, dark complexion, and stocking· cap of the sketch intensified fear for many, as they found themselves looking over their shoulder for the mysterious kill· er or suspecting every stocking· capped male they saw to be a murderer. Little by little, fear crept across the river to Council Bluffs. " One night, when I was get· ting off work at Village Inn, the police came because a custom· er had reported that he saw the man in the sketch at the restau· rant, " said Jayne Nelson '84 . . " It turned out it wasn 't the murder· er, but I was still so scared that the police took me home so I didn 't have to walk alone." Finally, on Jan. 12, John Jou· bert, 20, an airman stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, was ar· rested and charged with the murders after threatening to kill a preschool teacher in Omaha. Many students said they hur· ried home to catch the five o'clock news to see what the killer really looked like. Most were shocked to find that he looked like a boy himself and didn't resemble the well known sketch at all. After weeks of reading about the investigation , most stu· dents were relieved to read of the arrest, and although the trial was not scheduled to begin until summer, most were confident that the police had caught the right man.

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

Thirty·two students said fig· ure skating was their favorite event, with half naming Scott Hamilton, the first American man since 1960 to win the fig· ure skating gold medal, as their favorite athlete. "Scott Hamilton made every· thing look easy. He made me want to go do it myself," said Sandi Voss '85. Only five students said hock· ey was their favorite event, as the U.S. hockey team fell from its 1980 gold medal finish to the seventh lowest place ever for a U.S. team.

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

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

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

But the truth was that almost all of the acts in the 1984 Road· show were put together in a matter of days! Unlike past years, AL pre· sented its own Roadshow, un· combined with Tee Jay. For several weeks before Tee Jay auditions, directors were uncertain whether the Road· show would be combined. Final· ly, when only four acts tried out at Tee Jay, the school can· celled, and AL directors decided to go solo.

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

Invited by 4,000 elementary students, Mr. T, the star of A· Team surprised all of Council Bluffs when he agreed to be the grand marshal of the parade. Cheers filled the air as Mr. T passed by, smiling and waving at onlookers. Children march· ing ahead of him often stopped and turned around to get a bet· ter look. " It's neat that someone that fam ous came to Council Bluffs," said Sara Draper '85, " but I thought he was a lot big· ger!" Besides appearing in the pa· rade, Mr. T visited children at local hospitals, met with the mayor, spoke at Westfair and AL against drugs, and ate lunch with members of B·MAD and others who helped bring him to CB. " He seemed like a nice guy," said Rich Housley '85. "I could tell he really cared about kids." Others helping to make the parade a grand finale to Pride Week were the 52nd Street Breakers, who rode in a silver limousine and waved sparkling gloved hands out the windows in the style of Michael Jackson. " I thought breakdancing was the best event of the day," said Jill McManigal '86. " People of all ages could enjoy it." A team of Clydesdales also pleased the crowd as it trotted proudly down the street. Al's float, entitled the "AL Team" consisted of a flatbed truck draped in red and white with athl tes riding on it to re· present different sports.

Newspaper columnists across the country wrote about it. But students at AL were oblivious to it all. The subject of all the cover· age was the book 7984, written by George Orwell in 1948, as a warning about the results of a tota litarian society. According to a poll of 80 stu· dents, two had read the book and fewer than half had any idea what the book was about. Cathy Holcomb '85, who read the book in junior high for her personal enjoyment, was one of 124 Our Times the exceptions. " The people who print t· shirts and posters have gotten a lot of use out of Big Brother," Holcomb said, "but he couldn't possibly exist now because the American public would revolt against such a harsh govern· ment." Though the press covered the relevance of the book to the 80's, only nine students polled said a teacher had discussed 7984 in class. JUST BROWSING. "I wonder what this is about," says Gwen Belt as she glances in the library at 1984 by George Orwell. bers were absent due to a choir trip to Kansas City that day. The week before the parade, student council asked students to wear grubby clothes, togas, hats and sunglasses, dressy clothes, and beachwear on des· ignated days to celebrate Pride Week. But participation was low, with many students complain· ing they didn' t know about events due to lack of publicity. Some felt the idea had nothing to do with pride, so they didn't take part. "Wearing scurvy clothes isn't a good way to show pride," said Wendy Machmuller '86. " People dress like that all the time."

It was the day they had looked forward to all year - that of the Special Olympics. The games began as students from each school paraded as a group by the fan·filled bleach· ers. Then a Kirn student, James Larson '89, carried the torch around the track and lit the big flame which burned during the entire Special Olympic games. "At the Special Olympics, each student gets the opportunity to see other kids like him· self, and everyone who com· petes is a winner," said special education aide, Matt Malskeit '85. By the time it was all over, students from AL had collected two first place finishes in their individual heats. The finishes of Chad Ford '86, George Hodge '85, Norman Knott ' 85, and Mary Ann Wohlers '84, qualified them for State on May 15. At State, Hodge finished third in the softba ll throw, and Wohlers and Ford each took second in their age group in the 50·yard dash. Spring 125 ___ U_P.£~ t' pirited, smart, and bored. Many students used one of these > words to describe the Sophomore, Junior, or Senior Class. But an up close and personal look showed that no class could be stereotyped. The class of 327 sophs was called "spirited" by many. After all, their "86" cries at pep assemblies and sports events seemed to overpower the upperclassmen's feeble chants. Some members of the class chose especially unique ways to show their spirit. Disguised in his mother's make-up and jewelry, Kurt Kay '86, led cheers at girls' basketball games. Other sophs took little interest in supporting sports, however. "I think pep assemblies are boring. I'd rather do homework," said Margaret Hagen '86. After the Class of '85 achieved the highest national and state percentiles in three years on the !TED tests, many described the 300 juniors as "smart." Andy Hofert and Maureen Edwards led the way academically. Hofert kept his 4.0 with a full load of classes, including chemistry and physics, while Edwards scored in the 99th percentile on the PSAT. For others, though, studies ranked low in priority. "I think high school is a time to have fun," said Shannon Shea '85. "Bored" seemed to be the best word for seniors, who had set out to make this a great year, but by March, found themselves just puttin' in time. Yet, others chose to work even past graduation. "Everyone else is so excited about getting out, but we'll be here until June finishing up the yearbook,'' said Jill Myers '84. Up close, each class seemed to have a personality of its own, yet each class was greatly enriched by the individual personalities of its members. 126 Individuals Division "I THOUGHl' dressin' weird and leading cheers would be a good way to get everyone fired-up," said Kurt Kay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Talking it for granted A s you walked down the hall, tun· ing out the slamming lockers and talk of homework, your ears perked when they heard an excited voice rising above the din saying, " You'll never guess what happened to me this week· end!" Although we used our voices for many things, students agreed that gos· siping and transmitting current informa· tion about school events were most im· portant. " I usually spend an hour on the phone at night," said Monica Stover '85. "It gives me a chance to catch up on every· thing I can 't talk about in school." But voices weren't always used for idle chatter. Some students used their voices for extracurricular activities. As Paul Allen '85, practiced two to three times a week, his voice worked hard to produce the high tenor notes in the jun· ior quartet song "Rosalee." " The song is a lot of fun , but it's so hard on my voice to reach high notes. We have to practice it last. Otherwise, my voice gives out on me," Allen said. Voices were also useful for breaking monotony in the classroom. Linda Ben· ton '85, spiced up classroom lectures with joking and tea_sing. " I couldn 't make it through class with· out talking, " said Benton. " It's the natu· ral thing to pass the time. " But time was important to Jolene Schwarzkopf '85, as she made the most of every minute, practicing for speech. " I've learned to project and emphasize words to stress a point," said Schwarz· kopf. " I hadn 't realized that the tone of your voice could make that much differ· ence.' ' Whether they were used for speaking, singing, or gossiping, voices filled neces· sary spaces in our lives. Voices 147 usy bodie~--------. They're handy to have S ome spent hours primping while others worked for musical perfection. Some felt pain yet produced, and some programmed while others played. What , besides our five -fingered friends, could complete such a variety of tasks and possess such a multitude of talents? The right hand of Debbie Armstrong '85, felt a sharp pain as she gripped the pen, but determination flowed to her fin· gers as she rewrote, for the tenth time, her story on sex stereotyping for an is· sue of the Echoes. " I've had writer's cramp before, but my hands felt like they were going to fall off this time," she said. While Armstrong's thoughts were transferred onto paper, the hands of Maureen Edwards '85, entered complicated thoughts into a computer, as if her fi ngers had a mind of their own. ' 'I'm usually concentrating so hard on my program that 1 forget what my hands are doing . They just automatically touch the keys," she said.

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

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

A s they risked life and limb seven times a day, pushing and elbow· ing their way through jam-packed hall· ways to get to their next class, students couldn't believe that in two years, 300 freshmen would be added to this crowd· ed chaos. After 21 months of looking at the pros and cons, the ninth grade study commit· tee proposed Oct. 11 to Superintendent William Lepley that ninth graders be moved to the high schools in 1985. Administrators named several bene· fits, such as financial savings and an equal education for all ninth graders, but in a poll of 100 sophomores, the first class to attend AL as a four·year high school , 83 said there would be no bene· fit s from the change.

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

In Iowa alone, 241 were killed by drunk drivers. While many states considered raising the legal drinking age to 21, Governor Terry Branstad proposed an alternative that shocked many. He urged that a pro· visional license be issued to youth aged 16 to 21, which would be yanked if a driver were caught with alcohol in his blood while driving and if anyone under 19 years of age was caught drinking. Out of 50 students polled, 21 said Iowa's drinking age should be raised, while 19 students favored Branstad's proposal. Thirteen students favored a raise along with Branstad's proposal that licenses of offenders be yanked. e "I think the drinking age should be raised, and I also agree with Branstad's proposal.

A question on the minds of teachers and administrators, however, was whether enough students spent time participating in extracurricular activities. In a poll of 100 students, 63 said they were involved, and 37 were not. Seventytwo of those polled said they believed enough students were involved in activities besides sports, while 28 said more students need to get involved. e "I think more people should get involved. It seems like the same ones participate in everything. There needs to be more of a variety of people in some activities. The same people seem to be involved in sports and in academic organi· zations such as speech team and the publications staffs." - Amy Crowl '86 e " Getting involved in extracurricular activities is for all kinds of students.

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

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

After what seemed like forever, the Washington by-pass was completed, and with that completion came more plans. Hoping to make this one of the "most exciting cities in the Midwest,'' the Chamber of Commerce announced plans for a pedestrian-oriented downtown, including the leveling of the Mar· cus building and the substitution of a green corridor area. When Pendleton Woolen Mills, Inc. announced it would soon move into the old Safeway store and create 175 jobs, financial improvements seemed right around the corner. While these major improvements made news headlines, some of us tried to improve our town in quiet, personal ways. About 25 PUSH members spent much of their time telling elementary and junior high students "it's cool to be straight." Also working with tomorrow's adults, Karen Stone '85, taught fifth graders at Hoover School the basics of the business world for Junior Achievement. Students from various church groups joined together to form the Celebration of Life, a choir which performed for the com· munity every June. "I really like being in the group because I get a chance to meet new people," said Brenda Barger '84. Sophs Lisa Brink and Renee Ro· cheleau took on a different challenge when they worked with deaf students as a 4·H project. " I enjoyed working with them because as we taught them the basics of sewing, they taught us how to use sign language," Rocheleau said. Council Bluffs - an up close look showed it was a town changing for the better due, in part, to the personal contri· butions of its people. 170 Community Division Gerber HIGH PROTEIN CEREAL WITH APPlE ~ ORANGE BECAUSE HUNGER HURTS, Amy Crowl, Sandi Voss, and Debbie Armstrong collect cans for the spring food drive sponsored by the student council.

Human habitat B ulldozers roared, trees fell to the ground, and dust hovered low over the land as the Bonham hillside was transformed from a dense, wooded shelter for deer into a man·made condo· minium development for humans. As students and faculty watched from their hot September classrooms, noisy, dust·raising construction began on the 16 four·plex condominiums. "It ruined the landscaping!" said Susie Clinton, '84. "Last year I loved watching the deer on the hillside; now I hardly ever see them!" Although sad to see the beautiful wooded hillside converted into a housing development, many realized that progress al· ways involves change and felt that the location seemed ideal for condominiums. " You can still gaze beyond the condominiums and see the beautiful scenery, and I feel the project has to be good for Council Bluffs since such expansion boosts the economy of the city," said Bob Pettepier, math instructor. The sight was chosen because of its proximity to downtown shopping, grocery stores, Interstate 80, and bus stop, according to Larry Tweedt, a shareholder of TNML Development Com· pany Inc., the corporation building the condos. Each unit was to be constructed on the ground level, have its own basement, two bedrooms, a garage, a driveway, and 1,000 square feet of living space. As the first unit, with its rough wood siding and shake shingle roof, was nearing completion in May, students and teachers watched with interest. 109 S. Main 322-6278 " Although the entire development is not yet completed," said Denise Moats, '86, " it looks as though the condominiums will blend beautifully with the hillside." 2401 W.

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

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

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

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

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

Students seemed interested in this recipe for friendship as they strengthened old relation· ships ,and created new ones in som e in ventive ways . " At 6 a.m . on my birthday, A nn, Patty , and Toby dragged m e out of bed and took me for brea kfast , r, said Criss Krabbe '86. "I was embarrassed , but it mea nt m ore than anything they could have bought me." Many students also purchased from various clubs inexpensive gifts for friends. " I'll never forget sitting in first hour and having an " I love you sing·a·gram sung to me," said Denise Driver '84. Other fundraisers included Valentine carnations, St. Pat· rick Day cookies, and stuffed rabbits for Easter, which in· valved cheery , creative mes· sages such as, "To my best bunny - have a hoppy day." Although students expressed the importance of their friend· ships on holidays, some said these expressions meant even more on ordinary days. " Debbie and I always send each other cards and flowers for no reason ," said Linda Benton '85. " It reminds us what a spe· cial friendship we share," No matter how students communicated their caring from person to person, they found that communication to be one of the most rewarding parts of the school year.

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

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

For as long as anyone could remember, Home· coming week had been a humdrum ritual merely tolerated by most stu· dents. But in 1985 we changed all that! For on~e. people who didn't dress up for spirit days were the ones who felt out of place, as pumpkins, werewolves, teddy bears, and clowns roamed the halls everywhere. And the crazier we dressed, the crazier we became! Following the band as it pa· raded through the halls, creating our own spur-of-the-moment dance after the car bash, and rocking packed bleachers at the football game, we sparked a spirit that refused to fizzle, as spirit had so many years in the past. ''The Sunday night before Homecom· ing week, a bunch of us TP'd the school to start everything off with a bang! The whole week was great because everyone got involved and really got the spirit go· ing, " said Laura Roeder '86. And that spirit, coupled with talent and determination, smashed yet another tradi· tion. Finally, after a 17-63 record spanning 10 seasons, we overcame our dismal repu· tation as losers on the football field. Although_ everyone thought it would take a miracle to beat Northwest in our Homecoming game, we conquered the Huskies 14·8 for our first Homecoming vie· tory in 10 years, and went on to finish the season 6-3, the third best record in AL history! "We went into the season knowing that we would be good because we were all working together as a team instead of each person trying to be the star of the game, as in past years," said Dan Fauble '85.

After two decades of acquiring a ''too easy" reputation, with midterm graduates, minimal graduation requirements, and short days for seniors, the Class of '85 was the first to be required to complete both semesters, gain 33 credits, and stay through fifth period before leaving on a work permit. Other rules and regulations were also tightened as junior high parents, whose children were scheduled to attend AL next year, voiced their concern that the school suffered from a lack of discipline. The administration took heed, cracking down on rowdy study halls, hall passes, and pop and candy in the classroom. "I think it's a good idea that the administration is cracking down on some of the study halls because they were definitely too rowdy, but some teachers have gone so overboard with the new rules that I feel someone is watching everything I do, " said Kris Lippke '86. As our attitudes and actions took new shape, so did the addition that would transform our building into a four-year high school. This construction required adjustment of teachers and students alike, as buses were rerouted to the student parking lot, workmen crawled in and out of classroom closets, and eternal clanging and banging became a part of everyday life. Whether generating spirit, winning contests that couldn't be won before, adjusting to a new set of rules and regulations, or watching steel beams swing into place, we all knew that our school would never be the same.

And the mob and the energizers had the answer: Go for it! The mob, a group of male athletes, appeared at girls' basketball games dressed in everything from loud polyester sport coats and plaid pants to their mothers' dresses and nylons. Leading cheers, aiming toy guns at opponents and refs, and forming kicklines, the mob brought fans to their feet and filled the gym with laughter. Carrying on this new tradition, girls dressed up for the boys' game against Northwest and cheered them on with the same crazy antics. But fans didn 't have to don outlandish costumes to show spirit. The energizers, a group of about 50 spunky students, decorated before games and sat together screaming cheers. Such exuberance and non-conformity showed itself at Christmas Dance, too, where couples clad in everything from sequined mini dresses and cords to formals and suits, hopped, jumped, and gyrated to the wild beat of Complete Music. The same do-your-own-thing attitude could be seen daily as Salvation Army coats, neon Forenza sweaters, and gigantic earrings made their way through the halls. Gone were the days of nonchalant fans, conformists, and preppy look-alikes. The switch was on! GROOVIN' WITH GRO VER.

For various reasons, many students found sports such as cycling, hunting, fish· ing, frisbee, hacky sack, sledding, and showing horses to be important and excit· ing parts of their lives. For many, the sporting life was an easy way to form and strengthen friendships. " Playing hacky sack gives me a chance to associate with my friends outside of school. It brings us together with a common interest and we have a lot of fun doing it," said Paul Allen '85. Some students spent time playing more conventional games. " After watching the football games on Saturday afternoons, the neighborhood guys all get together and play a psyched up game of football. It's a great way to pass the ''I love the winter season, and sledding is a way to get out in the brisk air with my friends instead of staying cooped up inside.'' Sherry Phillips '86 time on weekends," said Jeff Boyden '86. Still others preferred individual sports that provided a relaxing escape into thoughts and dreams. " I ride bike not only for the exercise, but also because it's a sport that gives me something to do and doesn't require a lot of concentration. Cycling lets my mind wan· der and gives me time to think," said Chris Henry '87. As some students enjoyed relaxation and fun, others enjoyed the more exhilarating aspects of the sporting life. WITH HIS SIGHTS ON A TREE AHEAD, Andy Morrison sprints toward it during a workout. Morrison placed first in his age group in a ll but one of the races he entered last summer. GETTING READY FOR THE BIG CATCH on an after school fishing trip at Lake Ma nawa , Robert Tompkins fixes the line on his rod while Tracy Ha user searches for a sinker. " When I go hunting, I always have to be on the ball. I have to be ready for the unex· pected. That's what m akes it so exciting," said Tim Mathisen '85. Some sports minded students found that through competition, they were able to prove their capabilities to themselves and others. " I love showing my horse because it gives me something to work for," said Kathie Tvrdik '85. " When I first got my horse, I was satisfied by just riding. But now the rewards and prizes I win encourage me to continue. I'm really working towards building a reputation." Whether sports minded students com· peted for ribbons in a horseshow, played hacky sack with several friends after a long day of school or rode their bike on a crisp Saturday afternoon, all enjoyed a life of ac· tion and fast paced fun. Sporting Life 11 D ollar signs gleamed in the eyes of Pam Huebner '87, as she was hand· ed her Dairy Queen paycheck. Racing to her car, she sped toward Mid· lands Mall. Finance fever gripped her, and money began to melt in her hands ... $20 for this, $15 for that, $40 for the new sweat· er she just had to buy. Then the munchies. Two hours later, and one entire paycheck blown, Huebner left the mall, vowing to save her next paycheck. A poll of 100 students showed that 39 could probably identify with Huebner, for they said they consistently -spent their en· tire paychecks almost instantly. " I don't know where my money goes. I try to remember what I spend it on, but I can never put my finger on it," said Diane Schoeppner '85. Students listed clothing, gas, and enter· tainment as their main expenditures, while several were also responsible for car main· tenance and insurance. " My entire paycheck goes toward car payments," said Debbie Spencer '86, " but I guess that's the price you pay for a new car!" Yet, many students were troubled by not PROUDLY POLISHING HIS PRIDE AND JOY, a new Yamaha Maxum 750, Todd Woods realizes the rewards of saving $1,800.

" I usually don't spend much time think· ing about saving," said Karen Kowal '85, "but I wish I did. I need to prepare myself for the future. My dad believes in being wise about financial matters and he's trying to help me." Many students worked at becoming pru· dent with their paychecks. Sixty·one of 100 students said they actually thought about what percentage of their paycheck they should spend. " I have a budget," said Mike Hartfield '86. " I know how much I can spend and what percentage I need to save!" The desire for a large possession such as car, stereo, or motorcycle inspired some to save. " All summer I saved to buy a motorcy· cle. ft was hard, but it's worth it now," said Todd Woods '86. Plans for the future motivated others to save. Fifty·nine out of 100 said they needed to help finance a goal , whether it be college, trade school, or a business. " Saving money is the only way I'll get to attend college," said Kelly Wright '86. " I've always wanted a college degree, and I'm determined to go." Nick Poulos '86, had a different motiva· tion. " All my life I've wanted my own busi· ness," said Poulos. " Just knowing that if I really save money, I'll be able to fulfill that goal helps me to continue to put my pay· check in the bank!" Although some students were frugal with money, and others were gripped by finance fever, the majority of students polled said they realized learning the value of a dollar would eventually pay off.

Finances 13 ix wooded bluffs, quiet neighbor- M hoods, and uncrowded streets with a city skyline, elegant restaurants, sprawling shopping malls, and a touch of big-time entertainment. That was the perfect recipe for a satisfying lifestyle in our southwest Iowa city of 60,000 located just a bridge away from a metro area of 500,000. As residents of Council Bluffs, we had · the best of two worlds. While we relaxed in our small-town atmosphere, we knew that just 20 minutes away , Omaha was there to satisfy our cravings for more adventure. A poll of 150 students showed that 89 percent were happy living in C.B. as long as they had the big-city extras just across the Missouri River. "When I want to get away from everything, I can just go right in my own backyard for a hike in the woods. Even though this is nice, I'd go crazy if I had only Council Bluffs to be in. It's nice to know I can go to Omaha any time I want," said Brad Moats '86. Many students appreciated C.B. for its small town friendliness. " It's fun living in Council Bluffs because BEFORE THE IOWA WINTER sets in, Pam Larson and Terry Larson enjoy Lake Manawa. AROUND A BLAZING FIRE, Jill Pechacek, Amy Crowl, John Larsen and Amy Paulson enjoy a cookout at a youth meeting. 14 Student Life ''People in Council Bluffs are more reserved, so it's fun to see people at places like Omaha's Old Market because of the many different styles you see there." Andy Miller '85. when I go out, I always see someone know," said Jolie Schmoker '87. Others liked the slower pace and lack of traffic, noise, and crime. "I like to cycle and it's really no problem to ride in· Council Bluffs. But I don't like riding in Omaha because the streets are too busy and the people drive like maniacs," said Bruce Schafer '85. Yet, no matter how content we were with our small town life, we often found ourselves taking advantage of the extras Omaha had to offer. Seventy percent of those polled said they went to Omaha more than eight times a month while 29 percent said they went at least one or two times monthly. The top two reasons students went to Omaha were to see movies and shop. " Council Bluffs lacks a good selection in men's clothing so I like to do most of my shopping at Younker's and The Hitchin' Post where I can get more styles," said Jeff Jerkovich '86. Going out to dinner and watching sports events were the next two reasons for cruising over to the Big 0 . " When I go out to eat in Council Bluffs, I usually end up going to Taco Bell. In Omaha, I have the choice of many nice restaurants. I really like going to Trini 's, then topping the evening off with a stroll through Central Park, " said Rod Brandenburg '85. Sharing the same metro area w ith Omaha gave students many fringe benefits. While their hometown needs were fulfilled, all they had to do was take a 10 to 15 minute drive to enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life. "BUT I WANTED THAT ONE!"

The weirdest of looks seemed to origi· nate from punk . Mismatched earrings that dangled two inches below the lobe on one ear and showed simply as a dot on the oth· er; bleached, bobbed hair, moussed and adorned with gigantic bows and bandanas; and gaudy tights under denim mini skirts became familiar sights in the halls. " These styles are really popular at Oma· iJa schools and are just getting started at AL," said Sarah Draper '85. " I just dress however I want, not to please other pea· pie." From crazy to casual, the long drooped neckline and loose, stretched appearance FAR OUT AND FLASHY. Sonja Schumacher browses for a fashion magazine in the library. Sonja wears a matching sweater and sock set in red and black, with black tights and a denim mini skirt. ''It's great when people dress any way they want instead of always being conformists. Everyone should just wear whatever suits them." Susan Schultz '86 of the $35 forenza sweater worn over a plain white tee shirt proved to be the big· gest craze. " My parents hate it when I wear sloppy clothes, but I like them because they're comfortable and not binding," said Tammy Jo Borman '86. To achieve the ultimate in sloppy, a spray bottle of bleach could quickly trans· form any pair of jeans into a streaked, splashed , faded pair that looked 40 years old. "My jeans looked too dull , so I just bleached them to be different," said Jolie Schmoker '87. "I would have bought a pair already bleached if I hadn 't done it myself. " This anything-goes attitude, along with a desire to be noticed and dirt cheap price tags, even lured girls and guys alike to RLDS and Good Will stores. The object of these teens' desire was the black , full length man's overcoat. " I love my overcoat that I got at the Good Will ," said Angela Hauser '85. " It originally came from Iowa Clothes and cost $70, but I got it for only $3 plus $4 to get it dry cleaned. It's big, baggy , and comfortable." This quest for comfort even caused girls to dig into Dad's closet in search of his V· necked, button down alpaca sweater from the 60's. " I like wearing m y dad's old clothes be· cause they don't cost me anything and it's really a popular fad right now," said Leslie Wrinkle '85, who came to school one day wearing an old green blazer and dark green vest from the RLDS over a white oxford with her dad's black army tie.

Members of this creatively dressed mob creeped along the sidelines to shoot oppo· nents with toy guns and chanted from be· hind open newspapers, " Who did it? She did it! Who did it? She did it! Don:t do it again!" "I was sick of people just sitting in the stands bored," said Tracy, " so a group of us dressed wierd and made up cheers. The crowd liked it and joined in. Games were more exciting when we showed our spirit in an unusual way." Such creativity also seemed to increase attendance at games. " The bleachers were packed at our Tee Jay game," said Janette Pearcy '85. "Such a huge crowd is an advantage because they distract our opponents' concentration."

Pep assemblies also sparked with spirit as each class attempted to out·yell the oth· er.

" Sometimes the cheers echoed so loud, I felt as if the roof might cave in."

Wearing his mother's old dress and nylons, Craig Tracy screams words of a dvice from the sidelines during a varsity girls' baske tba ll game . He often led "The Mob" in ere· ative cheers and stunts. During the skit, each football player was presented with a baby blanket or toy similar to the one he had as a child. For the finale, cheerleaders dressed Jeff Bowen '85, in doll clothes as his sister did when they were younger. " l just about died laughing when 1 saw a tough kid like Jeff wearing doll clothes," said Shelly Kisby '86. "Everyone liked it because it was something new and differ· ent." Another pep assembly filled the gym with laughter as five boys strutted across the gym in dresses, high heels, and makeup portraying cheerleaders of the past. "Y'all got spirit, y'all got pride, the Lynx are the finest in the whole U.S.," yelled southern belle Kurt Kay '86, with a thick accent as he pulled an American flag from underneath his dress. Wearing high-heeled fashion boots to show off his sexy hairy legs, Kay was just one of many spirited students.

Spirit 19 L unch - it was probably one of the few words in the English vocabulary that could fill a zombie-like class of students with a sudden frenzy, compelling fingers to drum on desks and restless feet to tap impatiently. " When I go to fourth hour, I can 't study or concentrate. I just sit there and count the minutes until it's time to go to lunch, " said Mary Kobold '85. The instant they were dismissed, students flocked to the cafeteria to silence the low grumbles echoing from their stomachs. Of those polled, 74 percent ate school lunches, 40 percent of them eating cafeteria food daily. Although some made repeated trips through the cafeteria lines, most students griped and groaned about the food , contending that portions were too small , the menu lacked variety, and the food was often cold or greasy. " The food tastes old, like it was cooked the day before and just heated up," said Ana Shriver '87. Students praised the salad, spaghetti, YUCK! While Leann Jones watches, Karen Kadereit unconsciously wrinkles her nose as she forks her sweet roll into her mouth. 20 Student Life ''I really look forward to going to lunch and being with my friends, especially after a long morning of classes.

On spaghettibar days, students heaped on sauce and cheese until the pasta was almost invisible. Others showed delight with sundaes by pouring on chocolate syrup and nuts until a sticky trail was left behind them as they rushed anxiously to their tables . But lunch was a time for more than feed - ing ravenous students. Since the cafe provided the perfect setting for the delivery of birthday cakes and balloon-a-grams, friends chose their lunch period as a time to show each other how much they cared. " On my birthday a clown came in , handed me some balloons, and got the whole lunchroom to sing happy birthday to me," said Liz Larsen '86. "It was fun, but it was so embarrassing!" In addition to birthday surprises, two food fights also took place during.lunch. Before they broke out, rumors buzzed throughout the school, putting teachers ·on alert and leaving students wondering whether or not the fights would actually happen. Their curiosity was finally satisfied , however, when the words "food fight" sounded through the cafe, followed by a barrage of trays. Students stampeded to the doors as peas shot across the room and milk and mashed potatoes splattered on walls and innocent victims. Although some students found food fights exciting, the overwhelming majority disapproved, calling them childish, immature, and unfair to others. But whether lunch periods held exciting or irritating surprises, or were filled with the same old thing day after day, students would never feel that the few minutes allowed was long enough for their favorite time of day.

" I like to have my room decorated my own special way to fit my dreamy lifestyle." While some students simply hung post· ers or pictures to liven up their room, others went all out, repainting, wallpapering, and carpeting. "I remodeled my bedroom to make it more exciting," said Steve Ruby '87. " I painted my walls , carpeted my floor, and installed a stereo system. Now I have a nice STICKY FINGERS!

According to a poll of 100 students, 40 enjoyed their bedroom as a personal ex· pression of themselves. " My room is blue, pink, and yellow with my pom·pon ribbons and awards hung up," said Shelly Kisby '86. "I like it because it's so cozy and lived-in." Many students preferred a messy, clut· tered room to help them achieve that "lived-in " feeling . " I like the more homey look ," said Tonya Jaussi '86. "I always feel uncomfortable when I go to a friend's house and find their room spotless; it seems more like a muse· um, or something on display." Rick Reimer '86, had yet another reason for keeping a somewhat sloppy bedroom. " I never spend enough time in my room to justify cleaning it, and besides, to me, a clean room has no personality," he said. For others , a spotless, organized bed· room was essential. "I can't stand having a messy room ," said Chris Rector '86. " I like to keep it orga· nized so I can find things when I need to." Whether a spotless masterpiece, or a jumbled mess, bedrooms provided stu· dents with their own special place to do anything from talking on the phone or watching television to visiting with friends or studying in privacy. Fifty-five out of 100 students polled lis· tened to music during most of the waking hours they spent in their bedroom. " I love my room because it's a quiet place where I can go to play my guitar and think," said Carter Larson '86. Many students preferred their bedroom over any other room in the house as their own private place for leisure activities. " My room is like a big cave or hideout," said Tony Spidell '87. " When I wa nt to get away, I go to m y room , lock the door, and flip on my stereo. It's great to be able to disappear from everything for a while. " "SEE HOW IT'S DONE?"

Bedrooms 23 W hether studying with blurry eyes until after midnight, par t~ing all night with friends, or rising before the sun for an extracurricular activity, many students postponed sleep to brave life in the wee hours. In a poll of 100 students, 83 said latenight studying was their main wee hours activity on school nights. Amy Crowl '86, remembered one late night when she had to write an English essay and study for four tests. " I studied until I was so exhausted that m y eyes couldn 't focus on the pages any more," Crowl said. " Finally, at midnight, I set my alarm clock for 3 a.m. and fell into bed. " It seemed that my head had hardly touched the pillow before the alarm rang. A lthough I felt like throwing the clock against the wall, I somehow dragged myself out of bed and studied until it was time for school. " On rare nights with lighter homework loads, many students said they broke the monotony of the week by staying out late with friends. " Teepeeing the school during Homecoming week was a great break between math problems and literature worksheets," said Mark Dorsett '85.

" l knew my mom would kill me for coming home that late, so 1 took off my shoes, tiptoed to the door, and waited for a loud wind to blow by so she wouldn 't hear me sneaking in. " Forty-eight percent said their job sometimes required working late hours.

Such late-night studying often kept her up past 11 :30 p.m. on week nights. Burger King not only closed late, but stayed to clean up afterwards. "I hate having to close at Taco John's because I don't get home until almost 2 :00 a.m . By that time, it's too late for dates or going out with friends," said Kari Clouse '86. While some were up all hours of the night, others packed it in early so that they could be the first ones up. Mike Hartfield '86, woke up at 5 : 15 every morning to deliver papers and practice the piano. 'Tm not a night person ," Hartfield said. "I get more accomplished in the morn· ing because it's so peaceful." Although some enjoyed being early birds, others were forced to rise at the crack of dawn for athletic practices, band, pompon, and other extracurricular activities. " Volleyball practices from 6 :30 to 8 a.m . made me feel as though I hadn 't slept in days," said Diane Schoeppner '85. Whether night owls or early birds, students passed up sleep so they could gain time during the wee hours to complete the day's almost-too-full schedule. PERFECT PERFORMANCE.

Spirit sparked Monday of Homecoming week when band members paraded through the halls and students dressed in shorts and Hawaiian shirts poured out of homerooms to join them. " At first I was really skeptical because I didn't know if students would accept us marching through the halls," said Brad Moats '86. " It turned out to be better than any of us could have imagined. Everyone was following us and cheering us on." Kicked off by the band, Beach Day was just the beginning of a whole week of special events planned by a fired-up student council. Tuesday morning during homeroom, council members served doughnuts and orange juice in the cafeteria for a quarter apiece. "It was really neat that the administraHOT RED LIPSTICK provides the finishing touch as Stephanie Gray dresses crazy in her mother's oldie but goodie on dress-up day. ANTICIPATION.

"It was just another thing that made th i s Homecoming special. " After deciding the theme, " Let's Go Crazy," student council dubbed Wednesday as Crazy Day or " Anything Goes." To carry out the theme for the day , students came dressed as everything from werewolves on rollerskates to superheroes in long underwear. " Almost everyone dressed out of the ordinary," said Laurel Martin '86. " You really felt out of it if you didn't dress up. Even Mrs. Ballenger came in an orange tutu and pink w ig." To add to the fun , the Senior Class sponsored a Greatest Legs Contest. Senior football players ' legs were photographed Monday and displayed Wednesday in the student lounge for students to vote on. After Dan Fauble '85, was selected for having the greatest legs, Charris Ocken '85, auctioned off the photos after revealing the owner of each pair of sexy legs. " Rich James kept bidding against me, but no matter what, I was going to buy Curt's legs," said Lisa Wilson '87, after spending $1 2 on the photo. The spirit of Homecoming week snowballed Thursday evening when 29 cars (continued on page 28) GIVING IT ALL THEY'VE GOT, Charris Ocken and Terri Stevens take a swing at the Northwest car.

Honking, singing, cheering, and screaming filled the parking lot as students gathered around a car painted in Northwest's gold and blue colors and took 25 cent slugs with a sledge hammer. "Everyone was so excited you could feel the spirit in the air," said Terri Stevens '85. " The car bash got the team ready for the game, and the pep rally afterwards hyped up the fans." The Lynx used this spirit to psyche up early in the game when Jim Westmoreland '85, came out with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Kurt Kay '86, in the first quarter. "Curt Nielsen 's pads broke and Coach Emsick told me to go in," said Kay . " If I would have known, I'd have been nervous, but there wasn't time for that." The Huskies returned the favor, making the score 7-6, Lynx on top, until Westmoreland had a 78·yard ramble-off tackle for a score. The score remained 14·6 until the fourth quarter, when Northwest scored only 2 points with a safety. " The adrenalin was flowing through me all week due to the spirit and involvement of the student body," said David WinchesTO SHOW THEIR SPIRIT, band members Maureen Liggett, Stacie Hawkes, and Karen Olson take a break from playing the sc~ool song and cheer with the crowd on a march through the halls Monday morning. ter '85. " We knew we had more than just a chance to win. " The win had been a long time coming. Not for 10 years had the Lynx won a Homecoming game. " It was the greatest feeling in the world to break Northwest's winning tradition and finally win a Homecoming game," said Westmoreland. To cap off the magic week , students crowded into the cafeteria Saturday night to find it filled with purple, yellow, green , and hot pink balloons and construction paper cut outs. Students carried out the " Let's Go Crazy" theme, dancing to the fast moving beat of Complete Music until they were breathless. " It was really hot, the music was great, and I danced until my hair was soaking wet and my feet were killing me," said Penny Pearson '87. Debbie Armstrong '85, chairperson of the Homecoming committee, echoed the feelings of many students when she said " It went better than I ever dreamed.

If sparse decorations con· sisting of a little holly, a half dozen trees, and a few Christmas lights; a small crowd of crazy, laughing, skipping, jumping people; and wild, funky music make for a successful dance, Christmas Dance 1984 was a smash! Although in past years, the gym was en· veloped with crepe paper and balloons, the Foreign Exchange Club decided it was time for a change. "Although we had too few decorations because of misplanning, we decided to use actual Christmas decorations. The beauty and smell of fresh trees and red poinsettias can create an exciting mood," said Don Whyte, Foreign Exchange Club sponsor. The decorations were sparse, but enough excitement prevailed to create what stu· dents and teachers thought was one of the best formals they had ever attended. "I thought the dance was a blast! People were doing the bunny hop, break dancing, and just getting really crazy," said Robert Tompkins '87. Complete Music supplied a disc jockey who played everything from the sweet, me!· low tunes of Chicago to the hard rock beat of Quiet Riot. "Some of my friends made requests, and THE FINISHING TOUCH, Deb Philpot twists and turns a roll of crepe paper to decorate the center of the gym. WILD Dan Fauble and Vickie Fuller dance to "Jump, Shout" by Otis Day and the Knights. the DJ played them all. It was much better than a live band," said Laura Roeder '86. Also contributing to the dance's casual atmosphere was the " anything goes" attire students wore. Girls wore everything from tea·length plaid taffetas to long flowing formals to se· quenced mini dresses with colored hose. Guys wore everything from black leather pants and silk shirts to suits and tuxes to corduroys and wool sweaters. "Everyone went really crazy at this dance. It was great because people were comfortable and that made it much easier to dance and get wild, " said Amy Bennett '85. Although administrators and teachers witnessed problems related to alcohol in past years, this Christmas Dance ended without a problem. " I have helped with many Christmas dances, and I thought this one went excep· tionally well," said Chris Fink, chemistry teacher. " Kids really enjoyed themselves and had a great time." Many students felt that eating out at a nice restaurant also added fun to the spe· cial evening. "We went with a large group to the Press Club. It was really crazy because we got lost and then we went to the wrong place," said Kip Shanks '85. Both students and teachers agreed that "Winter Wonderland" was a huge success as one of the wildest, craziest semi-formal dances ever.

First, after receiving scores for the musi· cal about the life of Jesse James, directors were surprised when they were forced to spend hours upon hours rewriting music that was much too high for the cast to sing. Once the music was rewritten, the direc· tors faced the huge task of training an inex· perienced cast to project their voices, dance, and memorize lines. " Some night rehearsals were spent just letting small groups practice because many cast members were so inexperienced that some felt self-conscious acting around oth· ers. Mr. Spann and Mrs. Andrade also took their free periods to help dance steps and lines get worked out," said Jeff Matter '87. Yet another problem arose when just one and a half weeks before the originally scheduled Nov. 17 performance, Bryan Wyant, who was cast as Cole Younger, was forced to give up his part because of a chronic knee condition that worsened when rehearsing dance steps. "My knee problem is something I've al· ways had but I didn't think dancing would cause it to occur again," Wyant said. "CALL ME A LADY, call me a dame."

ARM IN ARM, Scott Pleake, Kathie Tvrdik, Leanne Ellis, and Stephanie Gray dance to " Put it Where the Moon Don't Shine." Some cast members felt the recasting was a blessing in disguise since the musical now had to be rescheduled and extra time became available for rehearsals. " Getting the extra time to work was beneficial. ft took a lot of pressure off and we could polish choreography and songs," said Laurie Milford '87. But due to conflicts with other groups using the auditorium, Dec. 13 became the earliest date the musical could be per· formed, and cast members worried that no one would attend a western musical at Christmas time. " Besides Diamond Studs being a musical that no one had ever heard of, we thought that a lot of people would have other plans at Christmas," said Kim Steen bock '87. As it turned out, the audience at the Dec. 14 performance was tiny, but more due to an ice and snow storm that cancelled the Dec. 13 performance than to the Christmas season. "We didn't expect the audience to be very big but that didn't stop us. I think if there had been a bigger audience, though, we might have had more enthusiasm," said Mike Phillips '86. Yet applause and laughter from the small crowd of about 120 parents and friends mo· tivated the cast for the student matinee held the following Tuesday. "I thought the matinee went really well because a western musical is unique," said Melanie Anderson '85. "The parts really fit the characters."

"Even though my date broke his foot before Prom, we still danced nonstop!" said Barritt. But their magical evening happened only after months of preparation. "My mom and I shopped a month and half before the dance for my dress and ac· cessories, " said Barritt. "We looked all over just to find a pair of black shoes I liked. It was a lot of fun to shop for everything, but so expensive." Student council members also spent months preparing for the big event. Prom committee members began in Sep· tember brainstorming for a theme and final· ly selecting the colors lavender, rose, teal, and silver. " We decided on the colors early in the year, but we waited to decide on the theme, ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY, Kerry Rasmussen and Stacie Hawkes eat lobster dinners at Brother Sebastians before Prom.

'You're the Inspiration,' because everyone wanted a really current song," said Jill Pe· chacek '86, Junior Class president. But paying for the music , ballroom , glasses, hors d 'ouvres, memory books, and decorations was a much bigger job than planning them. "Raising all the money was hard work , but we were very successful," said Cathy Morrison '86. "I ended up paying $28 of my own to cover all the lollipops I couldn't sell , but our decorations were worth the sacrifice." To make the dance a night to remember, class officers even visited the Burke High School Prom for decorative ideas to add sparkle to the dance floor. "We went to their dance to see their deco· rations, but most of the ideas we used were from our own imagination," said Amy Jones '86. The Prom committe spent the day before the dance blowing up about 700 balloons, and to make the evening perfect, they deco· rated from 8 a.m . to 2:30 the day of the dance. One of the plans which saved money and was most appreciated by couples who at· tended was hiring a disc jockey to replace a live band. (Continued on page 36) BOPPIN' IN THE BALLROOM.

For most, the excitement stretched on for hours after the dance. Some students ate a romantic dinner un· der candlelight while others rollerskated to more tunes at Rolla-Rena East or bowled until 4 a.m . at Valley View. Still others rent· ed upbeat movies such as " footloose " and danced into the morning hours, finally dragging themselves to breakfast at dawn.

As they clutched ping pong balls tight· ly in their sweaty palms, the seniors won· dered if they dared. But Principal James Gaffney had asked for it, and with screams and cheers, seniors sent 290 ping pong balls sailing through the air to bombard Gaffney and the assistant principals. In his goodbye speech to the seniors, Gaffney had asked them not to throw the balls at graduation because he felt it was in poor taste. Instead, he offered to let seniors get mischief out of their systems by attack· ing the administrators. But his plan backfired. As they marched out of the small gym, girls scooped up the balls which had been thrown at administra· tors and tossed them back to the boys, who waited impatiently to turn their tassles and send the balls soaring again. "We wanted our graduation to be differ· ent and throwing ping pong balls is differ· ent," said Jeff Kraft, Senior Class presi· dent. But the hour and a half ceremony be· tween rowdy outbursts was filled with mov· ing moments graduates wouldn't soon for· get. " As we waited in the hall, everyone was laughing," said Joni Powers '85. "But when I heard Hutch counting to the beat of 'Pomp and Circumstance,' my partner, .John Spur· gin, looked at me and said, 'Here we go,' and a chill ran up my spine." Barely able to sing through their tears, senior choir members joined the junior and sophomore members to perform " Like an Eagle" and "Corner of the Sky." "I lost control when we started to sing," said Diane Bruner '85. " The saddest part was knowing it was the last time we'd be together." Then tears filled the eyes of many more graduates as Sandi Voss, president of stu· dent council, spoke of memories. " Of one of our classmates, a memory is all we have left, so a single red rose has been placed on the platform in memory of Joan Cosgriff, who died last year in a fire," Voss said. Chosen by the class to personalize the ceremony, a symposium of five senior speakers then caused more lumps to form in throats when they talked about learning, sharing, friendship, and self-discovery. Jolene Schwartzkopf '85, touched many as she summed up the speeches, saying, "Let's not say goodbye, let's say thank you to our families, friends, teachers, and class· mates who helped us make the memories that will bond us together forever." But rowdiness returned once again, when after the final toss of their ping pong balls, the Class of '85 marched briskly out of the field house, many of them hooting and whis· tling the instant they got into the corridor. Moments later, though, as they realized these few m inutes would be the last they would spend together, many found them· selves breaking into tears again while they stood next to a grade school friend in the line to return their robes. "I tried not to cry, but I couldn't hold back my tears when I glanced over at Ann and Steph," said Nancy Sealock '85. "I real· ized I wouldn't be seeing them next year because I'm going to Iowa State and they 're going to Iowa." When all was considered, it had been a graduation filled with rowdiness and re· membering, w ith tears, and smiles, and squeals of joy. And that was just the way the Class of '85 had wanted it.

These were some academic switches made in the Understand· ing People, Keyboarding, and Ca· reer Center classes. Other well-known switches included the expansion of the Media Center to double its size, and the first time success of DECA in state contests. Other changes were less obvious but still had more far reaching consequences. Following the recommendations by the North Central Association evaluating team to re· vise curriculum and do away with the track· ing system, teachers and administrators set to work immediately. To determine curriculum changes and re· vise graduation requirements, a committee developed a list of competencies needed by high school graduates, and each classroom teacher then added to or deleted items from the list and indicated which competencies his course addressed. With this thorough approach to determin· ing change, which gathered input from all levels of educators, administrator's attempted to solve another problem cited by the NCA - lack of communication between teachers and administrators concerning aca· demic changes. Whether in the classroom or behind the scenes in curriculum meetings, all areas of academics had one thing in common - the switch was on!

It was Saturday night be· fore research papers were due. Melanie Johnson '86, sat exhausted, slumped over shuffled papers, note cards , and library books. " I know it's my fault for waiting until the last minute," Johnson said , "but I know I'm not alone in procrastinating." Junior Engl ish students were requ ired first semester to write a research paper, complete with footnotes , outline, and bib· liography. Research papers were as· signed in the fall semester rath· er than in the spring, as part of an all-school goal to improve ju· niors ' scores on the ITED test Sources of Information section. Although this year's class didn't improve its overall test score over last year's class, it did stay even , according to Cheryl Tousley, English in· structor. " The early assignment of re· search papers actually did help this class," Mrs. Tousley said, " since in previous years, it al· ways scored lower than the Class of '85. " g weaty palms , memory blackouts , large aud iences - those were some of the things the word " speech" meant to many students. Yet, most students changed their mind after Marsha Gran· dick, speech instructor, taught a six -week communications unit in English classes.

Students completed personal inventories and partic ipated in BOGGED DOWN BY BOOKS, Jeff Jensen heads for home to write his research paper. Students , however, placed more importance on preparation for the future than performance on the ITED test. " You have to know how to write such a paper in college or you 're out of luck," said Brad White '86. Although some students were sure the paper would help them, some felt the project was a waste of time. " We should have spent more time on grammar rather than on one project," said Jina Kast '86. One of the things students enjoyed, however, was the abil ity to choose their topic. Mrs. Tousley said popular topics were abortion , suicide, and drugs, while unique subjects ranged from Egy ptian queens to marriage. ADDING THE FINISHING TOUCHES, Debbie Brown writes the conclusion of her paper. group problem solving and panel discussions to get to know themselves and develop better relationships.

Determining how much po· tassium permanganate to add to an acid, balancing chemical equations, and titrating basic solutions, Housley and eight teammates competed in the an· nual Creighton Science Day. The separate competitions consisted of a computer test, an equation balancing exam, and two lab competitions in which students titrated and diluted dif· ferent solutions. Teams were judged on accu· racy , speech, final result, and overall performance. Trophies were awarded the top three teams in each competition. " Although they didn't place among the top three, my stu· dents did exceptionally well on the computer test and the titra· tion !ab," said Chris Fink, chem· istry teacher. "They had to tackle some problems we hadn't yet studied, but it was a great learning experience." Competing in groups of four and five from both classes of chemistry, students received 30 minutes to complete each category of competition. " We usually used up to three days to complete a lab in chem· istry," said Susan Schultz '86. " Using almost one·sixth of that time really kept us on our toes.'' Although Mrs. Fink and her students had practiced both labs preceeding the compefr tions, students were nervous and a little scared before they competed. " I was petrified to even set foot in the lab," said Dionne Wallace '86. " I thought we would forget everything we had learned or not have enough time to finish our experiment. " Besides learning new chemi· cal processes and working dif· ferent chemical experiments, students agreed that meeting people from competing schools and working with them high· lighted their day. "I would definitely go again if I could," said Paul Shomshor '85. " I liked meeting people who shared the same interests as I did." While judges tallied scores, Dr. Bob Snipp, Creighton pro· fessor, presented a magic show illustrating different chemical reactions. Teachers also played a game of Chemical Pursuit in which they were asked different ques· tions concerning chemical pro· cesses.

" The hardest part was remov ing the ex ternal parts without damaging any of the in· terna l organs. " The frog was just one of many specimens required to be dissected in the sophomore biol· ogy classes. Three weeks into second se· mester, biology students began 44 Academics a 15·week unit in which they observed the internal organs of specimens ranging from a cray· fish to a baby pig. Students often spent up to one week studying one specific group of specimens. " When we weren't dissect· ing, we were studying diagrams and learning about the func· tions of each body part of the specimen," said Gary Clouse '87. Students agreed the worse part of the unit was walking into c lass each day only to smell the awful odor of formaldehyde that filled the room . " I hated going in there be· ca use it smelled so bad," said Rudy Scherzinger '87. " Even in February, we were opening ev· ery window just to get fresh air." "OH, YUCK!"

"It was something different we could get everyone involved in," said science teacher Mick Freeman. Freeman and co-sponsor Dennis Schmoker set up two telescopes, a refractor, and a re· flec tor for students to use. " It was really neat to use tele· scopes to see things most peo· pie only read about," said Terry Osborne '85. Although the sky was cov· ered with a few clouds and some haze, members were able to view many constellations and planets. "It was interesting to see the actual rings that rotate around Saturn," said Scott Schmoker '85. "They were really bright and distinct.

Science 45 Academic Accents Students enter parenthood at the flip of a coin and attend to Cutg littlg sugar babigs T he penny flipped from fin· gers into the air and land· ed with a slap. " Heads! You have a healthy baby girl." Again the coin was tossed. "Tails! Looks like you're stuck with a 10·pounder." Such was the procedure for selecting the size and sex of stu· dents' babies in Bill Willard's Understanding People class. For four weeks, students car· ried 5 or 1 O·pound sacks of su· gar or flour (both determined by the flip of a coin) to school ev· ery day. The assignment was to care for these sacks as if they were real children, subject to daily inspection by Willard for any exchanges or abuse. " This project helps kids iden· tify how responsible they would be in dealing with a real family," said Willard. Some made the most of the class, dressing their tots in ador· able outfits, wrapping them in blankets, and drawing faces on them. For those who didn't take the class as seriously, stuffing a kid in a locker got them charged with child abuse and a zero for the day. Leaving a child unat· tended also earned a zero or served as an invitation to those ever·present baby snatchers. Tragedy struck when some unsuspecting parents left their poor lumpy children alone on cold bleachers. " I set mine on the bleacher in P.E. and M r. Argersinger kid· napped it," said Jenny Krutz· feldt '86, " He put it in his office, and I had to beg to get it back. " Other parents had to endure cruel treatment toward the ba· bies from students outside the class. "Patty Black said she's out to kill all of them," said David De· pew '86. " She told me she was going to tear mine to shreds. Then she smashed it in the face." As a result of such behavior, Willard claimed this would be the last year for carrying the sacks. Next year, he said, stu· dents would return to carrying eggs, which they would keep fresh for four weeks. Most stu· dents said they would prefer eggs, complaining that it was too burdensome to carry 1 O pounds in addition to school books.

This trial was not held in a co urt o f l a w , how e v e r . Creighton students served as at· torney s and the jury consisted of 12 students from Dennis De· Vault's and Bill Willard's American Government classes. "Thi s is the second y ea r we've done this. It's a great way to get students involved in the judicial system," said Dev ault. One thing jury members said they learned was the difference between a civil and a criminal case. 46 Academics " I lea rned so much more about the proceedings of a real trial than from just reading about it in a book," said Brian Olsen '86. In this way, students found that by getting involved, even American Government could be m ade bearable, if not just a little fun. ALL EYES AND EARS.

Clark was one of only a handfu l of students allowed to work w ith residents during the sociology field trip to the Glenwood State Hospital for the m entally retarded. According to Bill Willard, soc iology teacher, students were m ore limited than in the past in d eal ing with individua ls because the m ajority of residents this year had severe or profound mental retardation, with those only mildly handicapped being placed in regular schools. "They had their own little community, just like normal kids," said Patty Huebner '86. I wish w e cou ld have gotten more involved. We didn't get to meet many of them." Although restricted, the soci· ology group toured the c lass· rooms , greenhouse, laundry room, hospital, physical educa· tion c lass, and even a depth-ad· justable swimming pool used for therapy. Overall, students felt the trip was both a humbling and en· lightening experience. " The trip made m e feel lucky to have what I have and be the person I am ," said Melanie J ohnson '86.

" I couldn't believe that parents would leave their children at that place. I know the state has to check day care centers regularly to renew their licenses. I don't know how they get by.' ' "But when they divided into pairs and visited various centers, students found most day care centers in Council Bluffs were more than adequate. " The best part was playing with the kids after their lesson," said Susan Lee '86. " They get so excited over the littlest things." In the child care class, students learned about child development, from prenatal care through age five. "The purpose of the class is to teach students to be responsible parents who better understand the different phases children go through as they grow older, and can wisely select activities and appropriate day care," said instructor Jean Coffey.

"I THINK IT'S going to work this time," says Curt Nielsen, as Jeff Bowen and Bob Hiffernan begin a project for their independent study class in woods.

The class, which consisted of seven girls and one boy, took field trips each week to different homes, including instructor Lin· da Smoley's tri·level home, at· torney Phil Wilson's home, and several students' homes. " Visiting these homes helped me design my dream house," said Tammy Mcintosh '85. " I especially liked the eight-piece sectional couch in Wilson's home." On Oct. 30, the class took a trip to Nebraska Furniture Mart to see various types of home furnishings. " I had fun touring the show· rooms and walking down the aisles of furniture, seeing which styles looked best together," said Wendy Machmuller '86. "CAN'T YOU SEE THIS if I'd done it?"

Students had to design their own dream house as part of a major assignment for the class. " Our dream houses had to be realistic, w ith all the doors, win· dows, and stairs drawn in," said Mark Johnson '85. "I plan to have my Housing class over for a party in 10 years when m y dream house is completed." After designing their house, students had to decorate a room, find wallpaper samples, carpet samples, and magazine pictures of the furniture they wanted. " I didn't know what I wanted at first , but after look i ng through Good Housekeeping, I wanted to go to Michael's and say, 'I'll take this and this and this .. . ' " said Jackie Stokes '85.

The melted ice cream waited for General Business students to test each product and determine which one tasted best. Surprisingly, the less expensive plain label ice cream beat the Roberts ice cream, and students discovered they could save money by pu·rchasing lowpriced products, without losing quality. "I found that being an impulsive buyer and buying the products with the neatest package won't save you money," said Debbie Spencer '86. For the taste tests, students exhibited two similar food items under posters explaining their products, and classmates then tested both products. " It was fun to advertise your food items with posters," said Jenny Krutzfeldt '86. "The bad part was having to taste the gross products like tuna on crackers." Some students were surprised to find Coke beating Pepsi and generic chocolate cookies with cream in the m iddle winning over the famous Oreos. Students also tested products such as Kitty Clover chips vs. Hy Vee chips and Sprite vs. 7-Up. The project gave the students a chance to break away from their text books and learn about smart shopping first hand. The class also covered basic living skills, such as budgeting, banking, buying insurance, obtaining credit and selecting a career. As more and more students realized the need to be wise consumers, the class grew from two classes per semester a few years ago to four classes per semester in 1985. DELECTABLE!

Who uncovered these interesting statistics? It was neither the newspaper staff nor the Crimson and Blue staff. The truth is that the Math and Computer Club came up with these statistics. Members of the club made up a survey of 30 questions that would reveal a person's interests and attit1:1des. After the surveys were tabulated, c lub m embers sent 696 of them to a company in Ohio which would match each respondent with 15 m ost compatible people of the opposite sex. " It would have been difficult and time-consuming for the club to program a computer for the survey, so we decided to send them to a company," said Connie Byrnes, Math and Computer Club sponsor. T he computer matching was done as a money-making project for the club. The club made $250 selling the results at $1.50 to each person who filled out a survey. " The project took up a lo t of time, sorting and selling the re· suits," said Glen Meyers '85. "But I felt it was very successful and worthwhile." Some of the money made was put into an account so that fu t ure math a nd compute r c lubs could enter out-of-town contests, while some was to be used for an end·of·the-year par· ty. - FAST FINGERS.

"I like the class because you can finish your work easier and faster," said Doug Gray '87. "To correct your errors, you just backspace and type over, instead of whiting out everything and wasting time." Yet keyboarding class made some students lazy. "Many students aren 't as ac· curate as they should be be· cause errors are so easy to correct, " said Pam Ziebarth, keyboarding instructor. Keyboarding was offered be· cause word processors are the way of the future, according to Zi ebarth.

Karen Stone '85, received a first place in advertising and second place in display, while the m erchandising team of seniors Rob Jordon, Norman Johnson, and Laura Rassmussen won their event. Rassmussen also took second place in Quantitati ve Management. Graham placed third in DE and DECA terminology.

The project they worked to complete was a 2800·square foot two·story house in Oak Val· ley, the largest house ever built by the Career Center class. With the exception of the foun· dation poured by professionals, the class built the house from the ground up. "It's really neat to see your hard work grow into something you can be proud of," said Brad Wambold '85. The house sported many nov· elties, including a jacuzzi hot tub, weight room , angular art studio, and two fireplaces, all of which kept the work interest· ing.

During Easter vacation, the wa ll separating Room 220 from Room 222 was torn out and the coop offices moved to double the working area of designers. The biggest advantage of the expansion was that the library regained area given up long ago to media students. P ictures of bricks, wrestling mats , leaves , and drinking fountains adorned their darkroom. They got their kicks showing junior Mark Brandenburg punching himself, senior Jim Haag's painted toenails , and senior Rod Brandenburg's hahead surrounded by flames. Those were some of the illusions students created in a new photography class instructed by David Holmes.

"The basics also come in handy for items such as photo albums , which are around forever." Students said they liked the class for varying reasons. Rod Brandenburg, liked the class because it helped him see nature differently. "Photography lets you view nature closely. When you look through the viewfinder, you see things differently than with the naked eye," he said. Jeff Boyden '86, said he liked the class because it gave him a chance to experiment. " I learned to take a plain picture and turn it into something special," he said. Andy Morrison '85, who spent approximately 15 hours per week working as a yearbook photographer, liked the class for yet another reason . " Photography is my favorite class because it's taught me to have more fun with my camera instead of it being a job,'' Morrison said. Still others liked the freedom of the class. " Instead of being given a strict homework assignment, we did our _ own thing," said Shelly Smith '86. But all of the experiments and creativity d idn't come cheaply . The school spent about $650 on chemicals, film , cameras, and paper. But bucks and hard work paid off when AL students stole the show in the black and white division of the art fair, snatching first through sixfll place. Morrison also received a first and an honorable mention for color photography, which was not taught in the class. " I think we came out lucky for this being our first year," said Holmes, "although I knew they would do well." CARTOONS FOR CREDIT.

Art, Media 55 urnin' the tables on teachers ime after time, teachers critiqued, corrected, and graded students' work, but students seldom got a chance to turn the tables and do the evaluating. An Echoes survey prompted by parental complaints that academics at AL should be more rigorous, however, gave students that chance. Out of 200 students polled, 58 percent said they were receiving a good education at AL, while 22 percent felt their education was fair. Those who said they were getting an excellent or poor education evenly rounded out the scale with 10 percent each. The poll also revealed that nearly 60 percent thought the atmosphere at AL was encouraging in some ways but not in others. " The curriculum and the teachers aren 't as challenging as they could be ," Cathy Holcomb '85, wrote on her poll. When the 200 students rated each de· partment on a scale of 0 to 5 in nine areas, the math department emerged on top, receiving 6,663 total points, social studies placed second, physical education third, English fourth , and science fifth with 4,247 total points. Of the nine areas in which students rated each department, four areas emerged most often as strengths or weaknessesses. These four areas included discipline, rapid and fair grading, interesting class presentations, and overall teacher dedication. In sc ience, for example, students listed control of class as a strength, while the English and PE departments received their lowest scores in discipline. " It's really discouraging when you 're trying to lea rn something and all around you people are just messing around ," said Karan Kowal '85. Students polled said the math department did a good job of grading papers fairly and rapidly , but in Engl ish and science, students rated paper grading as the greatest weakness. In response, Chris Fink, chemistry teacher said, "A paper wh ich takes two to five days for a student 56 Special Feature to complete will take the teacher longer to grade, especially when he or she is grading 60 to 100 of them , and especially if the student wants them graded fairly." In three of the five departments in which all students were required to take classes, teacher dedica· tion was among the weakest areas rated by students. Lori Smith '85, wrote on her poll, "For whatever reason, AL has steadily deteriorated because each year people seem to care a little less. Students feel most teachers aren 't really involved in their teaching and don't get involved in class. And teachers seem to sense how students feel and appear to have an 'If-they-don't-care-why-bother' attitude." Teachers in six of the seven elective departments such as music, business, and home economics, however, received high ratings for dedication. Teachers ability to give interesting classroom presentations did not rate as a strength in any department and rated espe· cially low in social studies. "One of the main reasons students don't like social studies is the topic," said Sidney Klopper, American Government teacher. " No matter how interesting the lecture, if a stu· dent doesn't like what the teacher is talking about, he or she will not enjoy the class. " At least some students agreed with teachers that learners are more responsible for their education than teachers are, and generally get out of school exactly what they put into it. " AL is challenging," said Debbie Brown '86, " at least as challenging as the students make it. In every school there are going to be people who don 't care. If students try, they 'll get something out of school. If they don 't, then they won 't. It's as simple as that."

READY FOR THE ROAD TRIP to Des Moines for district competition, Paula Dix gets crazy while waiting for Key Club members to arrive at her house. 58 Organizations Division ne organization struggled to more than quadruple membership; another carried out plans to weed out one-third of its mem· bers. Both thrived for their ef· forts. Due to a revised student coun· cil constitution, homeroom represen· tatives no longer attended meetings, but merely communicated decisions to students. According to members, more was accom· plished in a few months than the large group did in a year. While student council cut its membership, Key Club recruited to rebuild itself. Member· ship increased more than 700 percent from 4 members to more than 30, due mainly to heavy recruitment by sponsors Roger Pear· son and Vonnie Tangeman. With the support of more students, Key Club members scrubbed cars, sang Christ· mas carols at care centers, and traveled to Des Moines for district competition. National Honor Society members were also in for more involvement, organizing a hall of fame to honor distinguished alumni, and tutoring, candy striping, and serving as aides to complete service projects required for the first time. Band members from AL and Tee Jay for· got their crosstown rivalries and together raised $30,000 needed to replace 21 year-old band uniforms held together with tape, pins, and a lot of luck. Whether organizations increased member· ship and involvement, decreased members to increase productivity, or worked toward a unifying goal, they all had one thing in com· mon - the switch was on!

They were the determined Marching Lynx band, flag, and rifle teams, who spent three weeks of their summer practicing twice a day and three months of their school year attending 7 a.m. practices, all to prepare for four halftime shows, two pa· rades , Clarinda Band Days, and State Marching Contest. When the time for Clarinda Band Days arrived, members were confident they would take first place. "l felt we were as prepared as we could have been," said majorette Laura Roeder '86. " We knew Clarinda was a big contest and we wanted to give a good show. We marched every morning from 7 a.m . to 9 a.m. just to perfect our routine." After the band's contest performance, DYNAMIC members were to stand at parade rest until the results were announced. But as if a fore· boding of things to come, three of the Marching Lynx collapsed in the muggy weather and were rushed to the hcspital, returning just in time to hear the shocking announcement that the band not only re· ceived a Division II rating but came in sec· ond to Tee Jay's band. "I was already embarrassed about faint· ing in front of everyone, but the loss to Tee Jay was much worse," said Amy Phillips '86. " Beating them was the one goal we really wanted to accomplish." With another month to perfect their rou· tine, band members looked forward to State Marching Contest, but they were again disappointed by a Division II rating and another loss to Tee Jay's band. Although coming in second to Tee Jay dampened the spirits of many, band mem· bers came home determined to reach differ· ent kinds of goals. For years, band members had worn the same 21 -year old ragged, dirty, and faded AW ARD WINNING jazz band opens its show with "Misty." The performance won the group a Divi· sion I rating at state contest. uniforms. " The uniforms that the band wears now should have been replaced several years ago," said director Robert Robuck. "A group of parents finally decided it was time to raise money to purchase new ones." To accomplish that goal, band members and their parents joined with their counter· parts from Tee Jay to form C.U.E. (Com· bined Uniform Effort). They sold cheese and sausages, spon· sored two AL·Tee Jay dances held pancake and chili feeds, and sponsored a car bash at the AL vs. Tee Jay football game, finally raising nearly $30,000, which was matched penny for penny by the school board, giv· ing both AL and Tee Jay enough money to purchase new uniforms.

As they talked about the day 's accomplishments and expressed relief that early morning re· hearsals were over, students turned away from the window and tried to ignore the weather that they would be riding home in. But the afternoon rain turned to snow, and at 7 p.m ., forty unsuspecting students who had begun the day stumbling through the halls at 5 a.m ., were told that Principal James Gaffney had asked bus drivers not to attempt travelling home on the snowy high· ways. " Everyone was screaming and cheering when we found out we had to stay over· night. We thought we were going to have a giant lock-in with TeeJay and LC in the Kuemper gym," said Debbie Philpot '85. " But by the time they made the announce· ment, Carroll families had heard about our being stranded . Many opened their homes for the evening." After playing Trivial Pursuit all night and TRIUMPHS forming new friendships, students were told at 1 :30 Sunday afternoon that they could go home. "It was fun having to stay, but by Sunday afternoon, everyone was crabby and ready to go home, " said Leslie Wrinkle '85. " After all our practices, I think everybody was glad it was over and that we'd done such a good job." Choir returned from contest with 12 Divi· sion I, 19 Division II, and 2 Division Ill rat· ings. "When the baritone ratings were posted , someone told me that the baritone I solo had received a I rating," said Matt Burke '86. " I yelled 'Hey, that's me! ' and freaked out. I wanted to tear the poster off the wall and take it home to hang in my room." While choir members prepared for con· test in Carroll, swing choir was practicing for its own contest. After the weekend in Carroll, the New Design met at 7 a.m . Mon· day, April 1, to rehearse for the Southwest Iowa Community College Swing Choir Con· test and Festival that took place later that day. "YES, SIR, THAT'S MY BABY!" Swing choir per· forms at Gunn School during their grade school tour. Sitting tensely in the college auditorium awaiting the contest results , New Design members exchanged anxious glances as they realized it was their last chance to bring home a trophy. " We'd never placed in a contest. Our movements were good and the notes were right, but we had trouble with blend and diction," said Debbie Armstrong '85. "It was really discouraging." After practicing every Monday night for three hours, in addition to class time and early morning rehearsals, swing choir mem· bers were ecstatic when the hard work final· ly p"aid off.

" Kevin Dunlop broke his wrist during the Christmas season, and even though he could still perform, it was a nuisance be· cause it's our busiest time," said Tonya Jaussi '86.

Choirs 67 New selection system, hard feelings, hectic schedule cause cheerleaders to endure a year that teetered T hey stood out from the crowd in their red, blue, and white sweaters and short skirts. Unfailingly, they appeared at game after game to cheer on the Lynx. In those ways, cheerleaders of 1985 were no different from those of the past, but in other ways, cheerleading was an activity in transition. Simply put, cheerleading wasn't what it used to be. One of the problems seemed to stem from a new method of selecting squads. After many years of sophs cheering for soph sports, juniors cheering for junior varsity sports, and seniors cheering for varsity, cheerleading sponsor Patti Ford and athletic director Mike Messerli believed changing the method of selection would improve squads, so they j_jlstituted the selection of cheerleaders according to ability rather than grade. Those juniors and seniors trying out with top scores made the varsity squad. JV consisted of juniors and seniors ranking next, along with high scoring sophomores, and the reserve squad was made up of remaining sophomores with top scores. But no one realized the depth of hard feelings that would be created when some seniors who had cheered for three years were replaced by juniors. In three instances, those feelings resulted in seniors' quitting the JV squad for which they were selected. " I didn't think it was fair for me, being a senior, to cheer for JV and teach cheers to juniors on varsity," said Ann Szemplenski '85. " ft would be different if we seniors weren't capable of having a good squad, but we were. Although three seniors quit, the JV football squad managed to enjoy the season with the help of spirited fans. "I rea lly liked cheering at games because there was so much spirit," said Melanie Lovstad '87. The wrestling squad, on the other hand, suffered when two seniors quit. " I was disappointed when two girls quit," said Joni Powers '85. " When we split up for JV and varsity m eets, it's hard to cheer in groups of two or three." GYMNASTICS HELPS! Beth Uhlhorn does a single herkey as the Lynx score at a football game against Bryan. But basketball cheerleaders faced more problems than anyone else. One of their biggest problems was that only 12 girls tried out for the 8 positions due to the more than 45 games they were requ ired to attend. Varsity basketball captain Helen Poulos '85, talked about the problems of her squad. " There are some first year cheerleaders who are frustrating to teach because many don 't attend practices and are tardy for games," she said. One embarrassing moment took place at the AL - Westside game, where 18 Westside cheerleaders danced to the Lynx band, while seven AL cheerleaders watched. "Westside really looked good," said Sara Draper '85. " I wish we had as many dedicated c heerleaders as they do." After the long season and its problems, many hoped cheerleading would someday be what it had been in the past. FALL CHEERLEADERS. FRONT ROW: Melanie Machmuller, Criss Krabbe, Beth Uhlhorn.

Despite such a rigorous practice sched· ule, seniors described the 1985 porn pon season as the best in three years. One of the biggest successes of the squad was the girls' ability to perform a greater va riety of dances. " The whole squad got together and made up new dances all the time, whereas last year no one would take the time to make new ones," said Shelly Kisby '86. To perfect each new dance, squad mem· bers spent approximately 12 to 15 hours per week practicing before school, after school, and before and during games. Most squad members felt much of their success was due to special friendships they developed during porn pon camp, summer practices, fundraisers, and games. During five days at camp, members drew closer while practicing, competing, and per· forming with the other squads, and while spending free time together swimming and sailing. The squad's hard work at camp paid off when the girls were awarded a spirit stick for having the most pep and a megaphone, awarded for the first time to the squad who worked together best. "We felt really privileged because we were the first squad to receive it," said Kim Nemecek '86. Practices throughout the year also helped strengthen friendships. " If you came to a practice upset about something, everyone was right there to comfort you or let you cry on their shoul· der," said Nemecek . " It made you feel cared about, not only as a member of the squad, but also as a person." Fundraisers such as a clinic , car wash, dunking booth, Halloween spook·o·grams, and caramel apple sale also made friend· ships, as well as bucks. "We had so much fun when we went to the Iowa Western orchards to pick apples for Homecoming," Kisby said. " We mostly POM PON SQUAD.

As a result of their friendships, the girls found the year was more pleasant. "One of the things I liked most about this year's squad was that in the past two years, people would get into huge fights, which cut down the squad because people were against each other," said Pam Larson '85, co-captain, "but this year everyone got along great, and we worked well together." Although some girls said the greatest re· ward of membership was the first time they walked out onto the football field to dance, others said their friendships were most important. " My biggest reward was getting close to the other girls," said Melody Knott '85, cocaptain. " Without friends on the squad, it wouldn't be worth my time or energy."

Responding to a new standard set for all chapters, NHS required a school or community service project of each member, ranging from candystriping to serving as teachers ' aides and tutoring. " For my service projects, I'm in 4-H and tutor," said Heidi Thoren '85. An additional highlight of the organization was the newly begun Hall of Fame to recogni ze exceptional alumni. Out of 36 nominations, three were chosen to become the first honored in the Hall of Fame. One inductee, Dr. Nathan Pusey , a 1924 graduate, carried many titles including president of both Lawrence College and Harvard University. A 1936 graduate, Harry A . Jensen, began as a salesman for Armstrong World Industries and advanced to become president of the company. The final Hall of Fame member, Richard W. Peterson, a 1943 grad, was a U.S. Magistrate and a past president of the Council of U.S. Magistrates. Like the NHS, Key Club also underwent a transformation from a dormant group to an active, energetic one. The improvement was due largely to an all·out recruitment effort at Kirn, which boosted club membership from 4 in 1984 to over 30 in 1985. Adding Roger Pearson, DECA instructor, as a co-sponsor, was another major change in the organization. " I kind of serve as a cheerleader, getting th e group ex c ited about participating," Pearson said . Such changes prompted Key Club to become more involved in service projects, including helping with blood drives, playing bingo with the elderly, and visiting patients in nursing homes.

AN· SWER : Student council officers during their two·day retreat at Viking Lake. Although student council members slipped such pranks into the retreat 's busy agenda, long hours were spent brainstorm· ing, setting goals, and getting acquainted with each other. " Early in the retreat, I didn 't know many juniors or seniors and felt uncomfortable about speaking up," said Cindy Voss '87, " but by th@ end, I gained enough confi· dence to express myself. " Due to a revised constitution in which homeroom representatives no longer at· tended meetings, but merely served as communication links between the council and students, council membership was re· duced nearly a third . The group's 25 mem· bers included four officers from each class, three representatives from each class, and four executive officers. " Not only did attendance at meetings im· prove, but the group accomplished more within a few months than the large group did during an entire year," said Cathy Morri· son '86, member. Accomplishments included organizing Homecoming events such as a car rally and bash, street dance, and semi·formal dance; community service projects including a bloodmobile, collections for the poor, and Vice·President George Bush's rally ; and school pride promotions such as dress·up days for Abe Lincoln Week and a student council pep assembly. " I spent a. lot of my free time working on student council projects because I didn't want this year just to be another· dead year," said Debbie Armstrong '85, execu· tive vice·president. Armstrong said that she and president Sandi Voss '85, wanted to leave AL with a student council that could start a tradition of successful, active councils.

Although a small membership improved student council , Foreign Exchange Club needed more than a dedicated few to accomplish their projects. " When it came to missing class to deco· rate for Christmas dance, we had more than enough volunteers ," said Lori Smith '85, "but once Christmas Dance was over, we only had 10 dedicated members." In addition to Christmas Dance, the club · sponsored "Foreign Exchange Day" in which 14 exchange students visited AL. "It was unfortunate that more students were not involved," said Patti Kephart '86. "When Mica from Germany stayed with me, we had so much fun getting to know each other and our different lifestyles." Whether members were reduced to too few or just enough, both student council and Foreign Exchange Club accomplished goals that made the school year more en· joyable for others.

Student Council, Foreign Exchange 75 Editors and staffs decide format, solve problems, set type on computers, win big, and relish being A s the pitch of her voice rose and then cracked, streaming tears smeared her face with mascara. Silence hung over the crowded banquet room, and soon parents and staffers alike were wiping their eyes as adviser Linda Smoley could no longer hold back her emo· tions when she handed out key staffer awards to seniors. Tears turned to laughs, though, when Kari McClure '86, ended the evening with an inspired rendition of " Smoles." Cheers, whistles, squeals, and roars filled the room as McClure strapped on four·inch heels, grabbed her clutch bag, slipped on a blazer, flipped up the collar, and lugged in a pile of papers, screaming, "Photogs, sit down right now!" Just as the banquet was filled with tears and laughter, the year had its ups and downs. For Mrs. Smoley, the greatest satisfac· tion was watching both staffs take total charge of the publications. "I've had great editors before, but none I trusted as much to come up with all their own ideas, carry them out with such atten· tion to detail, and solve their own prob· I ems," Smoley said. Everyone agreed the most independent member of the yearbook staff was editor Ann Szemplenski '85, who designed the ba· sic layout for most sections, using ideas she and assistant editor Angela Hauser '85, col· lected at yearbook camp. Staffers loved Szemplenski's designs, with their grids, tilts, and screens, but the complexity of the layouts sometimes frus· trated staff members. "I fought with the academics layout for· ever, since it required making separate sto· ries fit the layout by cutting gobs of copy," said Laura Laubenthal '86. But photography was the staff's biggest problem . With just two returning photogra· phers , grainy or out of focus pictures meant hundreds of retakes. The newspaper staff worked indepen· dently too, for the first time using word processors to send type on discs to the typesetter, saving $200 per issue. " In October, I worked to figure out the program," said editor Stephanie Gilmore • ) TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT PHOTO, editor Stephanie Gilmore confers with photographer Casey Wood for the last issue of the Echoes. '85. "When I finally understood it, I taught Mrs. Smoley how to use it, which was hard· er than figuring out the program. Together we taught the staff." Although correcting all their own errors on the disc instead of having the typesetter do it caused some staffers to retype stories half a dozen times, their frustrations paid off when they won 39 individual awards, State Writing Sweepstakes for the fourth year in a row, and the Best Newspaper in the Metro Area. Yearbookers, too, realized rewards for their work when the 1984 book won Best in Iowa, 14 Gold Circle awards, a Gold Crown, given to only nine yearbooks in the nation, and the Pacemaker, given to only six year· books nationally. Szemplenski summed up the year, say· ing, " No matter how the '85 book does in competition, when I look back on the year's achievements and problems, I feel really proud because I know that on both staffs, the editors truly were in charge."

Coach Marsha Grandick was pleased with the performance of the forensic teams. " We received close to 30 trophies, and that's outstanding!" said Mrs. Grandick. "We had a younger group thi s year, but that didn't seem to present any problems." Tim Gartin '86, and Paul Shomshor '85, won first in debate at Creighton Prep and received a silver champagne bucket. " I have always enjoyed debate," said Gartin. " No matter how prepared you are, your opponent can throw you a curve!" But knowing that practice could help them handle whatever they encountered, speakers and debaters usually practiced once a week , and before contests, two or three times a week . " Practice was very important," said Mrs. Grandick , " but we had to be careful 'not to overpractice. Most of the students prac· ticed at home and once or twice a week with me. " Practice was also important for drama students, according to Angela Lear '86. " We did have a lot of practices, especially before productions, " said Lear. " But when we received our excellent ratings, we knew the practice paid off!" Those ratings came when three ensem· ble acts, two mimes, one choral reading, CHIPS OFF THE OLD BLOCK.

" Another plus for the drama season was traveling to Benson near Cedar Rapids for the state Thespian convention, where Bor· man and Marty Scott '87, received third for duet interpretation.

" and junior Jill Pechacek's hollars of " Yearbook!" followed Penny Leu '87, down the hall , as each friend tried to recruit Leu for one of the publication staffs. The girls provided a perfect example of the com· petition among groups to involve others in school activities, as Leu proved to be a valuable victim for the two. Yearbook and newspaper editors visited with more than 350 junior high students to encourage them to take journalism in high school. After editors received the names of 130 interested re· cruits, journalism students and staffers spent days stuffing enve· lopes with letters explaining the pro· gram to such stu· dents ' parents. All this time, both staffs used the personal ap· proach with recom· mended sophomores and juniors, encourag· ing them and taking ap· plications for one of the staffs. " I kept asking the people I thought would be good for the newspaper staff," said Laura Thrush '86. " It was hard because many don ' t want to take the time." Lee Spann and a group of choir students used similar methods to recruit, sending let· ters to all the eighth and ninth grade choir students at Kirm, Bloomer, and Longfel· low, and then calling the outstanding ones, inform· ing them about the requirements of choir at AL. "It's not really difficult to get girls involved with music, but getting boys is nearly impossible," said Matt Burke '86. Roger Pearson and seniors in DECA also worked hard to recruit students by speaking with junior Eng· lish classes in December to explain the program and then getting teacher recommendations for the stu· dents signed up to insure a high quality DECA pro· gram . Special Feature Many sponsors felt recruitment was an essential ingredient in the survival of a program, for without it, they said there would be little or no involvement of students. In the two years Pearson instructed DECA, for _ example, the number of students increased from 2 to 45, due to his emphasis on recruitment. "If instructors were to put more emphasis on re· cruiting, there would be a higher number of students involved," said Pearson. "Today it seems as if many are interested in joining an activity, but they don't know what it is about. Maybe if stu· dents knew what certain activities involved, they would join." ,• Students agreed that if they hadn't been recruited into certain activities, it is most likely they wouldn 't have gotten involved. ' 'I'm really glad Mr. Pearson stresses recruitment because if he hadn ' t, I probably wouldn't have joined DECA, " said Amy Jones '86. "I had no idea what DECA was about , but he ex · plained the program and made it sound fun and worthwhile. '' Despite widespread efforts, many who wished to be involved in extracurricular ac· tivities didn't take the plunge because oth· er interests made it hard. "I really wished I could have stayed involved with band," said Angie Warner '86, " but there were just too many other classes and activities I needed to spend time on like yearbook, my job, boyfriend, and Job's Daughters." It was obvious that organizations with work to do would need to continue recruitment efforts to gain the members necessary. "BUT I JUST KNOW YOU'D LOVE IT!

Our Times 81 Our Times Fall Bush supporters ignite at rally B omb squad dogs patrolled the halls. Metal detectors beeped as people and purses were scanned. Fift y-five Secret Service agents and about 100 policemen stood alert at their posts. The Vice-President was about to appear in t he gym. Nearly 1000 students from all over Council Bluffs attended the Republican campaign rally, where Vice-President George Bush spoke, accompanied by Senator Roger Jepsen, congressional candidate Jim Ross Lightfoot, and Governor Terry Brandst ad. When Bush was greeted by an ecst a tic crowd ch ant ing, " Four more years!" h e responded, "You'd better sa ve a little enth usiasm for Bellevue West, it seems t o me!" The refe rence t o t he evening's game brought foot ball players bounding from the ir seats a nd wild shouting from Lynx students in every part of the gym. "The ra lly psych ed me up! It gave me a more positive a ttitude t oward the Reagan-Bus h ticke t," said Matt Crum '86 . After Bush's 10-minute speech, student body president, Sandi Voss '85, presented him with an Abe Lynx coat and hat. When the Vice-President proceeded to shed his own suit coat, slip into the Lynx coat, and adjust his new cap, students went berserk, their screams and whistles filling the gym. "He told me he really enjoyed working with high school students. And when he put on that jacket, wow! Something hit me. I knew he really cared," Voss said. Following the rally, journalism students were permitted to attend a national press conference in the practice gym. Their excitement was at a high pitch because a week earlier, Bush advance man, Tim McBride, had told journalism instructor Linda Smoley that students would be allowed to ask questions. Renee Rocheleau '86, recalled, "We were in ther e actually competing with the national press. He even took time after answering questions to talk to us personally. It was just indescribeable."

A 15-man advance team installed 20 telephones in the building, established radio communications in the journalism room, and set up a command post in the girls' locker room. "Having Secret Service agents running around the building really made AL seem important," said Diane Bn.~ner '85. Students got almost as involved as the advance team, embellishing the gym with about 40 red, white, and blue banners representing nearly every AL organization, and blowing up 5000 balloons. "Decorating the gym was so much fun!" said Tracy Machmuller '87. "I was there until after 10:30 p.m." Most who attended the rally felt it was a success. Bill Stoufer '86, summed up most students' thoughts. "It was a super neat, once-in-a-lifetime experience," he said. LOOKIN' GOOD!

Sealock was not alone in her posi· tive feelings about the President, who beat Walter Mondale by a land· slide margin, carrying every state ex· cept Mondale's home state of Min· nesota. If Reagan's victory was a land· slide, Al's support for the President could have been called an ava· lanche. Of students polled in an Ech· oes article, 85 percent said they were behind Reagan, while only 10 percent supported Mondale. Despite the historical nomination of the first woman Vice-Presidential candidate, 80 percent of students polled said gender would not influ· ence their vote.

Gone were the days of grasping k nees to squeeze into the car and pray ing for a wind to help gather enough speed for the interstate. Since the department intended to replace the old cars due to high maintenance costs , Tim O 'Neill 's donation was a great help. " The new cars are great.

Our Times Fall To list strengths, weaknesses, and make recommendations, North Central Association team spends three days Probing the premises W hen students entered school on Monday, Oct. 29, and saw a dressed-up faculty and clusters of strangers throughout the building, they could tell that something unusual was happening. The North Central Association evaluation team had finally arrived. "I couldn't believe it when I walked in and saw all these male teachers with suits on!" said Sonia Johannes '85. For three days, team members roamed the school, at times stopping to question students or just observe quietly from the back of a room. They continued their work by spending evenings meeting informally with teachers to get a feel for AL. Students noticed, however, that some teachers tried to fool NCA evaluators during classroom observation. "The teachers changed when the NCA came," said Kelley Hall '85. "One teacher suddenly got strict and had us take notes for the first time all year just because they were in the room." After finally completing their evaluation on Wednesday, members of the NCA team presented their report to the faculty and administration in a two-hour assembly, in which they listed AL's major strengths and weaknesses and made basic suggestions for improvements. Of the many problems noted, two were emphasized strongly. One was lack of communication between the faculty and administration. The other was the tracking system, which evaluators felt was "detrimental to students" because it locked them into too many required courses and forced them to make a basic career decision before entering tenth grade. "Essentially, the reports were accurate. They were a little harsh in some areas, but they brought attention to a lot of the problems," said Chris Fink, steering committee chairperson. Among AL's strengths, the NCA team listed at the top a friendly student body and wide variety of extracurricular activities.

Fall 85 86 Kirn parents' concerns, rule changes upset student body S uddenly, in December, things started to change, and students didn't approve. Almost overnight, study halls were transformed from noisy social snack· times to actual silent study halls, hall· ways became desolate during class per· iods, and the in·house suspension room became more than a place to sleep. Right or wrong , students blamed the administration's sudden tightening of rules on a group of junior high parents who complained that AL would not be a suitable place for their ninth and tenth grade children in the fall . Ever y thing seemed to begin when two Kirn mothers paid a surprise visit to AL on Nov. 28. After they toured the building on their own, the mothers told the adminis· tration in a preplanned meeting about problems they saw, such as idle gym classes, chaotic study halls, aimless hall roamers with no visible passes , and teacherless classes. On the day of the mothers ' visit, Prin· cipal James Gaffney held a faculty meeting to explain to teachers what had been discussed in the principal's meeting with the mothers. The next morning, m ost students learned of the mothers' visit from their teachers. According to students, teach· ers pointed out that the mothers hadn't checked in at the offi ce before v isit ing classes and some teac hers described the mothers' behavior with phrases Our Times such as " barging in," and " ranting and raving." " When one of my teachers told me about the Kirn mothers' visit, I got a very bad impression of them," said Rich Housley '85. When study hall and passing rules stiffened almost immediately, anger es· calated against the mothers until one of their homes was egged and a threaten· ing sign left in the yard. " We were really upset with the par· ents. We heard rumors from other stu· dents that they were responsible for the rules being tightened and the can· cellation of the Mr. Lincoln Pageant," said Mark Dorsett '85. But even though students blamed the mothers for the new rules , Ron Dii· mig, assistant principal in charge of discipline, explained that the rule changes were in the works before the mothers actually visited AL and that the timing of the visit and the changes was m erely coincidental. Probably the change most noticed by students was the atmosphere of study hall s. The old rules of no talking or moving about were finally enforced consi stently by all teachers, and a new rule forbidding pop and candy was add· ed. " l hate the study halls now," said Rod Brandenburg '85. " They were fun before, but now all there is to do is sit and stare at the walls. It reminds m e of in·house." "OKAY, BUT BE QUIET," Roger Pearson tells Peggy Kealy and Kim Heizer, as they show him a pass to the social studies wing. Pearson had hall duty every day fourth hour. But although the majority of stu· dents missed the opportunity to talk with their friends, most admitted they were more likely to do homework. Another change was the reluctance of teachers to write passes from class to restrooms and lockers, which result· ed in empty halls during class hours. " Students should be in class ," said Diimig. " They can 't be educated if they 're roaming the halls. Each minute adds up." To reduce the number of repeaters serving in·house (45 percent first se· mester were repeat offenders), new reg· ulations required that each student copy from the code of conduct the rule he broke and participate in a counseling session. " Our purpose is to decrease the num· ber of repeat offenders by making them dislike in·house enough that the>:_ would rather be in class," Diimig said. Although the majority of students disliked the changes, some admitted they saw an improvement as a result of them . " I don 't agree that all the changes are right," said Teri Stevens '85. "But I do think they 're helping improve the out· look of the student body." Our Times Winter Big kids still love their toys A s students slept snug in their beds, visions of '85 Camaro's, Cabbage Patch dolls, and stereos danced in their heads. Students awoke bright and early, without the help of alarm clocks, on Dec. 25 and soon found themselves anxiously sitting by the Christmas tree. Finally, after weeks of shaking, feeling, and listening to each and every gift, the time had arrived to rip off the wrapping paper. Most students said they were pleased with their gifts, except for one thing - none of their packages contained a set of car keys. But Mike Hindt '87, and Jeff Christenson '87, were two of a lucky few. Hindt received a '78 Ford truck while Christenson received a '71 El Camino for Christmas. "I knew I was getting my truck because when I went to work, I saw it in the garage," said Hindt. "I wanted to take it four-wheeling right then, but I knew I'd have to act surprised later." Barb Leu '87, wasn't quite as lucky. "I asked for my own car, but instead I got duplicates of my parents' car keys!" she said. Some other common items in students' Christmas lists included clothes, stereos, tapes, computers, VCR's, Cabbage Patch dolls and money. "When I told my mon I wanted a Cabbage Patch doll, she said, 'No way, you're too old!'" said Sheila Donaldson '85. "I was really shocked when I got one. I take Dave Louis everywhere with me, shopping, to school, and he even sleeps in my room in his crib." Others received more expensive, useful gifts. Brian Olsen '86, found a VCR under his tree. "I didn't really ask for it, but my parents knew I wanted it," Olsen said. "I like it because this summer I can tape sports programs I don't have time to see and watch them at a more convenient time." Mike Hartfield '86, received a computer as a family gift. "I thought in the back of my mind we might get it, but I was still excited when I saw it because there were no guarantees," said Hartfield. "I wanted one because it was something I hadn't explored yet, and I thought it would be useful for computer programming. I thought being able to practice at home would help me get a better grade without struggling as much." Most students agreed that gifts weren't the most important part of Christmas, but they made the holida y more memorable.

Winter 87 Our Times-Winter National media coverage, broken promises, court hearings, boycott, personal tragedy all part of Hysteria over herpes A two and a half year-old handicapped girl, her determined mother, and frightened parents and t eachers put Council Bluffs on the pages of People and Time. Although nothing appeared in the newspapers until Oct. 18, the story of the little girl with herpes began much earlier when t he name of the disease was first seen on her enrollment report to Longfellow's handicapped preschool and leaked to parents and teachers in anonymous phone calls. A year earlier, the mother had told s chool officia ls of her daughter, identified as J a ne Doe, and after testing, an enrollment dat e of Aug. 27 was set. Identified only as Mary Doe, the mother said tha t days before the pla nned enrollment, s he was told that the t ea cher opposed it, citing danger of the diseas e spreading. The date would be S ept. 1, she was promised. But the bus neve r showed up on S ept. 1, a nd when Ma ry called the school to ask why, a secret a ry told her the child wasn't going to school. "I was so mad I threw the ph one across the room," Mary said. Twice more a n enrollment date was set, and both times it passed because of pressure from teach ers and parents. Fina lly, before a promis ed enrollment da te of Oct. 15, t wo school officia ls told Mary there ha d been threats aga inst her child's life. "A bus drive r wa s told if she were placed on the bus, it would be rolled over," Ma ry s a id. The news finally appeared in the pa - per the day after teache rs filed for an injunction preventing enrollment. After the Dept. of Public Instruction ruled that the district had to enroll Jane and a review board requested by the mother decided it was in Jane's best interest to attend school, emotions boiled over at an angry meeting of 200 parents and medical experts. Dr. Laverne Wintermeyer, director of infectious disease control for the 88 Our Times IN SPITE OF THE BOYCOTT, several students attend school as usual. The first day of the boycott 199 of the 343 students stayed home. state, explained the lack of danger involved in herpes when lesions aren't present, but the meeting ended when angry parents walked out. "It was supposed to be an educational meeting, but no one learned anything because they let emotions take control," said Steve Brewer '86, Echoes reporter who attended. Cheryl Kelly, a spokesperson for the parents' group said, however, that Wintermeyer's approach was the problem. "He had a 'how dare you question me' attitude," she said. Finally, U.S. District Court Judge Donald O'Brien listened to testimony from doctors, school officials, parents, and Mary Doe, and ruled that Jane should attend classes. The parents' last hope was to boycott classes beginning Jan. 7, when 199 of 343 students stayed home. Chosen to listen to court testimony and relay information to other parents, Mrs. Kelly did not keep her child out. "I changed my mind when I finally got the answers to my questions," she s a id. "So much information we received earlier was outdated." While the boycott continued, Mary's story finally appeared Jan. 9 in Des Moines a nd Omaha papers, in which sh e said ·she did not have genital herpes, but gave the disease to her baby thro ugh a kiss when she had a large cold sore on h er lip. The story tugged at h eart strings when it d escribed the hours Mary h ad spent mass aging J ane 's underdeveloped a rms and legs and feeding he r through a stomach tube. Interest in the boycott soon dwindled, and by J a n. 17, the date of enrollment, attendance wa s no rmal, and teachers dropped their IC;twsuit. "Before I read the mother's story I saw her as a villain, but she is a vieI tim. I'm appalled the facts didn't come out sooner," one teacher said. Mrs. Kelly said the local paper had been biased and sensationalistic in playing up the controversy rather than seeking the facts. But Nonpareil editor John Skipper said, "The only information we had was talk in general. When facts finally came out, they were so mixed with rumors it was a h uge job t o s o rt them o ut." After all was s a id and don e , J ane did well in sch ool, according to Ted Stilwell, a ssist ant superintende nt, who s a id the less o n of the community's ago ny was that communicatio n must improve between parents and schools. Building sprouts addition S hortly after the fall semester, a large hole was dug in front of the school's east wing. After months of evolution, the hole finally grew cement. In December, biting winds and flying snow gave birth to steel beams which would eventually hold the classrooms needed to house nearly 400 incoming ninth-graders. "All fall we looked for the construction to start. When it did, it seemed the men had waited for cold weather and bad conditions," said Amy Lemen '86. Although it seemed that the new wing would never be completed, Principal James Gaffney said construction proceeded on schedule. It was much to the dismay of students and teachers, however, that construction had not begun until after school started and proved to be a constant distraction. "I watch construction men walking in front of me on steel beams. It's not very often that a person gets a birdseye view of major construction," said Cheryl Tousley, one of the teachers with windows overlooking the work being done. "With all those men walking by my window all day, it's not just the noise that's distracting." But the whirring, pounding, and roaring of the construction always seemed to peak when students were trying to listen to something important. " I was listening to a lecture when I saw a worker dangling from a cable. I aroused the curiosity of the rest of the class, and everyone had to look," said Corey Beck '86. According to English teacher Don Scheibeler, it was strange to watch his classroom being enclosed. He said that, along with Antigone, he felt he was being buried alive. BRICK BY BRICK, construction workers begin the task of enclosing the new addition. Winter 89 BAGPIPES BLARE as Mike Merryman serenades the audience. Despite delay, Peanuts gang delights all F idgeting five·year·~lds sat straining ~or a better view, their faces aglow with curiosity. As a furry black and white beagle crawled out from a large doghouse, fingers pointed, and elated cries rang out, "Snoopy! Snoopy!" This was a heartwarming sight to the cast of You 're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, as members took part of the play on tour to five elementary schools. "Going to the elementary schools was rewarding," said Debbie Philpot '85, who played Lucy. "High school students and parents have a hard time relating to Charlie Brown, but the little kids really loved us." Although the subject matter was aimed mostly at children, the cast felt the tone of the play was a needed switch. "It was a little light, but we needed the contrast because last year's Diary of Anne Frank was so serious," said Chris Henry '87, who played Schroeder. Cast members felt the lightheartedness of the theme was fun to work with and even 90 Our Times strengthened friendships. "The camaraderie made the work fun " said Tammy Jo Borman '86, who play~d Patty. "We'd work on the set, go out to eat together, then come back to school to work again." With the cast working in such harmony, everything was set to go as scheduled, but Mother Nature had some rather devious ideas of her own. Ten inches of snow stranded four cast members participating in small group vocal contest in Carroll Iowa, on the day of the Sunday Matinee' and the play had to be rescheduled for th~ next Saturday. "We didn't have as good a crowd as we would have had on Sunday, but I'm glad I didn't miss that night in Carroll," said Mike Phillips '86, who played Charlie Brown. " We had a blast, and we needed the rest from practicing every single night." Despite the delay, the cast found the play to be a rewarding experience. CRAMMING.

Carter Larson and Da· vid Tanous practice for Roadshow. A fair maiden's lover whisked her away on a Big Wheel. A poor country boy's pa chased him through the audience for his skivvies. And the Porn Pon squad did "The Bird." Offbeat acts such as these made variety the spice of the '85 Roadshow. "The show wasn't just music as it has been recently," said director Lee Spann. "The kids were so creative with their acts." At first, though, Spann feared a 25· year tradition of Roadshows would be broken when only four acts showed up at tryouts. But the number of acts jumped to 20 t hree days before the show, and the heat was on to prepare one of the most hilarious shows ever in only seven hours of practice. To help boost the number of acts, speech class performed the obnoxious skit, "The Price is Wrong." "We originally did it for a class pro· ject, but we changed it into a skit and it worked out pretty funny," said Steve Brewer '86, who played Rob Barter, the emcee for the show. Besides humor, unique talents surfaced, including a bagpipe solo by Mike Merryman '85. On the other end of the music scene was the rockin' sound of ESR (Exit Stage Right) featuring Carter Larson '86, Terry Larson '85, Jeff Kraft '85, David Tanous '86, and James Holly '87. "The band was the best act," said Guy Whitman '87. "It was up-to-date, and everybody likes loud music." Other members of the audience felt that humor was the greatest aspect of the show. Some said they laughed through the entire performance. "When the audience is as enthusiastic as this one was, you know you're doing something well," said Susan Schultz '86, who sang a duet with Julie Royer '85. f d memories S . rs share on ~st started e enlO on '85.

Teachers and students wondered how they would adjust to a partially new building, nearly 400 freshmen, and a faculty one fourth new to AL. On Feb. 14, though, a change was a nnounced that no one had count ed on. Principal James Gaffney told t eachers that he had accepted a new position a t Central Office. The press ures of administering a high school with a large faculty, many organizations and activities, and a wide curriculum create a t ough schedule for a principal, Gaffney said. These factors, which caused him to spend t hree or four nights a week in the building, prompted him t o resign, he said, because he needed more family time. "When you have an op en door policy as I do, people come into your office a ll da y and you don't get all your work done, so you h a ve to do a lot of work at night," Gaffney said. Gaffney came to AL in 1982 from the principalship at Kirn Junior High, taking over for Robert Capel. Many problems plagued the first year of Gaffney's administration. Teachers protested when Jim Misner, band director, received what he called an unfair evaluation and later accepted a transfer. Students protested when breath tests for alcotfo . were threatened for the first time at the 1982 Christmas dance. Everyone protested as moves were made at Central Office to switch the eight-period day to seven periods, decreasing elective enrollment. Finally, Thurman Johnson, business teacher, resigned due to "differences with the administration." "It 's fair to say the first year affected my administration, but I have no regrets," Gaffney said. Improvements he brought were the faculty advisory council, improved student attendance, and change to a seven-period day, he said. "The overall climate has improved. Students are more friendly and have more pride," Gaffney said. " I think there is an intangible sense of family between students, faculty, and admin· istration." Immediately after Gaffney's announcement, teachers set about determining a list of qualities for the new principal. By April, three candi· dates were selected and a committee of teachers, parents, students, and administrators began interviewing them. "The selection committee is a good chance for people other than adminis· trators to put in their two cents about the new principal," said Todd Fox '87.

Sock hoppers bop to the beat for Prom bucks A s the announcement came over the loudspeaker, students piled out of classes and headed for the gym, stopping only to peel off shoes, and in some cases socks, in preparation for two hours of fun . Sponsored by the Junior Class, the sock hop was organized to replace the Mr. Lincoln Pageant as a fundraiser for Prom. Making $508, the event proved more profitable and much simpler to arrange. According to Penny Hutchison, junior sponsor, the only arrangements were to print tickets, ask Jeff Kraft '85 to disc-jockey, and get Principal James Gaffney 's permission. " Mr. Gaffney was great about the whole thing," said Hutchison. "We said we needed to raise money , so he said we could have it as long as we held it during the afternoon and got teachers to patrol. I'd like to do this every year. " Although most people milled around at first, a few groups of girl s immediately swung into action. Their enthusiasm soon spread, and other students began to join in and dance to the beat of " 1999," " Delirious," and " Burning Down the House." BOPPING AT THE HOP. Laura Roeder and Sheila Donaldson boogie the afternoon away at the sock hop. Spring 93 s they lay on the mat sprawled in every direction, the soothing repetition of the therapist's words lulled them into a hypnotic trance. From head to toe, the wrestlers began to feel warm, soothing, tingling sensations. This relaxing sensation was felt by many athletes as coaches tried sports psychology for the first time in an attempt to win the mental game as well as the physical. Therapist Dick Graves held several sessions with wrestlers and boys' basketball players, working to develop their aggressiveness, concentration, and confidence through hypnotism. Ai1i~Ci~~$ prevail when the switch is on! According to _athletes, the therapy proved beneficial by increasing their awareness and intensity. But even without the help of a therapist, the varsity football team managed to break a Lynx jinx by winning the first Homecoming in 10 years and establishing a 6-3 record, the third best in AL history. The soccer team was also in for a big switch after the school board made it a fully -94 Sports Division sanctioned varsity sport in the fall. Instead of making switches, the girls' basketball team was preparing for them. While continuing to play girls' rules, members devoted their season to making the transition easier to five-on-five for 1986. Whether learning to relax through a therapist, breaking a long-standing jinx, becoming sanctioned players, or preparing for complete rule changes, athletes had one thing in common - the switch was on!

No word could better de· scribe a disappointing season in which the Lynx baseball team finished 7-28. "I expected the season to be much better," said Coach Bob Burns. "We just didn't have the returning talent." With only 12 returning players, 5 of whom were seniors, coaches and teammates alike pinpointed lack of playing time together as the main reason for the losses. "We had to spend a lot of our practice time just learning how to work together as a team," said Kurt Kay '86. Problems worsened as three varsity players quit, requiring that starting positions be filled by JV players. "It took a lot of concentration and many adjustments to play varsity," said John Larsen '87. "It's like going to the major DISCOURAGED, Jill Bintz, Erin Lange, and Stacey McKeever watch a losing game against Bellevue. leagues straight from high school." Although the team faced many disappointments, the season was not without its moment of ecstacy. The team was down 2-3 to Millard South, but a fifth inning pep talk and the exceptional pitching talent of Mike Wright '84, pulled the team together for an impressive 8-3 victory over the number one rated Indians. " Millard South was definitely our best game, " said Kerry Rasmussen '86. "We were finally able to put hitting and pitching together and had a complete game." Even though the Lynx su~ fered a disappointing season, Burns described it as a year for learning. Although the Lynx softball team fared better than the baseball team with a 15·12-1 record, the team did not meet the expectations players had set for themselves. Coach Bob Pettepier described the team as the most talented yet most disappointing he had coached. "We had so many great athletes, but they had played for so many years that they were burned out on team play," said Pettepier. "They all wanted to leave their mark so they worked more on their own individual records. " And the team did turn out some impressive individual records. Dee Christensen '84, led the team with an outstanding .505 batting average. Kelly Cihacek '84, led from the defensive end as she was 11 -10 in pitching. The team's best game was a midseason win against Lewis Central in the Southwest Iowa Tournament. The girls were behind 5-6 when in the seventh inning, they scored two runs and won the game 7-6. "The Lewis Central game was tough, but we all wanted to beat them so we gave it our best," said Amy Jones '86. "ARE YOU GONNA MAKE IT?"

This mysterious Wolfman Jack, who sent his players into a night of partying they would remember forever, was none other than Bill Emsick, head football coach, whose team had just finished its season with a 6- 3 record , third best in AL history. Emsick led his players to victory by teaching them to execute second half play like Lynx fans had never seen before. In the fourth quarter alone of the St. Albert game, for example, the Lynx executed three touchdowns, two interceptions, and one recovery, to beat the previously undefeated Falcons Danker, Mark Dorsett, Pat Kill , Scott Pleake, Pat Rollings, Jeff Kraft, Mike Rollings, Dan Stor-ey.

Similarly, against North, the Lynx used a second half burst for two touchdowns to gain a 14-10 victory. It was during the North game that team members realized they wanted to start a winning tradition,- according to Emsick. To meet that goal , the team even managed to break a 10- y ear jinx on Homecoming games by defeating Northwest 14-8. " Being the underdogs and up· setting Northwest was great! Winning the game made the en· tire week more memorable," said Shawn Russell, leading tackler. The team's biggest disappointment was its 0-8 loss to cross-town rival T ee Jay. The only scoring took place in the second quarter, when Tee Jay scored a touchdown and ran for the two points. But two-a-day practices, sum· mer weightlifting, and the re· turn of 20 lettermen gave the Lynx the extra edge they needed to down the last five teams on their schedule. " Summer practices were hard work, but I knew before the sea· son started I'd give it my al l to earn a starting position," said Matt Muffley '85, nose guard. The season's finale against Lewis Central had fans on their feet for several minutes. With 44 seconds on the clock, and a halftime score of 7-7 remaining on the board, Emsick decided to go for the fieldgoal and junior kicker Chris Hough was given the ball. The 19-yard kick was good, for a 10-7 Lynx victory. Voted most valuable player, Jim Westmoreland scored 11 touchdowns and ran for 1002 yards. Westmoreland was also nominated to the all-s tate team as defensive back . WITH A SIGH OF RELIEF, Brad Danker, cornerback, is granted a short break after giving 100 per· cent against Lewis Central. Danker had a fumble recovery, four solo tackles, and seven assisted tackles. "COME ON , YOU GUYS, STAY TOUGH!" yells Carter Larson while Kerry Rasmussen watches the final touchdown drive against St. Albert.

And what a successful comeback they made! The offense charged ahead twice, bringing the score to 13-14. Quarterback Mike Hartfield knew what was needed to win the game, and he completed a winning two-point pass to Kerry Rasmussen '86. When the clock ran out, the Lynx had achieved a storybook victory.

" Those guys had a better JV squad than most leagues," said JV coach Phil Nielsen. " They had exciting games. " The team 's ability to come back in tough situations again surfaced at Northwest. When the Lynx were down 8- 22 with only five minutes left in the fourth quarter, a 75-yard touchdown run by Scott Pleake '86, put the team in gear to finish off Northwest 23-22. " We believed we could win," said Rasmussen. " You have to when you are down that far. " Although the 1-6 sophomore team did not do as well as the JV squad , Coach Joe Hauser felt the team may have improved anyway.

The score was tied 14-14 at half, when an interception run by Glen Ruby '87, brought the offense to the one-yard line. The Lynx then moved ahead and scored twice, winning the game 28-14. So young teams found success in a year of comebacks, the juniors turning the tables and pulling through in the last minutes of game after game and the sophomores finally winning in their last chance of the season .

Match after match slipped through the girls' fingers, leaving the team with a 7-16-4 record. " Our season could have gone either way; most games went to 12 or 13 points," said Coach Mary Kyte. " Unfortunately, not al l winners are champions." With Cindy Wilson '85, as the only returning starter from last year's 22-6-2 team, it was a rebuilding year.

" Although I was happy with my place at State, I knew I could have done better," Hofert said. "I was just nervous and felt boxed in at the beginning of the race." Unlike the boy s' close-knit team, the girls' times were more spread out. Struggling against several setbacks, the team fell a dual short of its undefeated goal. " Unfortunately, the girls had quite a gap, with only two seniors and a lot of youth," Freeman said. Another reason for their loss at South was a curse of injuries ranging from sprained knees and ankles for four of the girls to a pinched nerve that hampered the performance of Jennifer Wright '85. "I worked harder at each practice so my performance would improve for each meet and I pushed myself at invitationals. I knew that if I didn't take practice seriously, I would disappoint myself, my teammates, and coach."

Even a perfect dual record and two team members' mak· ing their way to the state tournament were not enough to satisfy the wrestlers , who never placed higher than second in a tournament. Although they knocked off every opponent in the Metro Conference in dual competition, the boys' biggest letdown was taking third place in the Metro Tournament after being Metro champs for three consecutive years. "I don't think everyone was totally psyched to wrestle at Metro," said Coach Clark Allen. " I don 't think they expected the competition they got there." Lynx wrestlers suffered another setback at the Sioux City East Invitational , when they took third after being the 1984 champs. "Our team didn't show consistent wrestling at each weight, and that's why we didn't do as well as last year," said Brad White, '86. Disappointment came again when Lynx matmen took twelfth at the Urbandale Tournament. Because many team members felt a lack of concentration contributed to poor tournament showing, coaches contacted a sports psychologist to work with the team. " We thought having the team work with the psychologist might enable the guys to use relaxation and concentration to improve their wrestling," Allen said. Dick Graves, a hypnotherapist and high school principal from Carson, worked with 10 volunteers, who agreed that they saw changes in their wrestling after the sessions . " Sometimes when you get psyched up, your body gets tense, but after working with Mr. Graves, I could totally relax my whole body and I never lost concentration, " said Tim Coppock '85. After working with Graves, wrestlers Todd Woods '86, and Coppock experienced the high point of their season when they took first and second respectively at Districts to qualify for the state tournament, where both wrestlers lost their first round matches. Even though the team was unsatisfied with its overall performance , dual victories brought sweet success. "We set a team goal to win every dual , and each of us worked at our own pace to achieve that goal," said Todd Woods '86. " The matches that were really close kept our fire alive. " One of the matches that kept the Lynx hot was against Millard North. Going into the final match, the Lynx were behind 28-27. Lynx fans anxiously moved from their seats to stand or squat in the opponent's section behind the mat, where they could cheer on Tracy Poe '86, in his heavyweight match against Millard North's Pat Trance. Poe went on to decision Trance and give the Lynx the three points they needed to win their first dual 30-28. That dual victory was to be repeated seven more times as Lynx matmen completed their season 8-0. WRESTLING.

Nearing the peak at elevation 5-0, the little engine suffered a transmission failure, causing it to tailspin down, down, down. Eventually, a less powerful orange and black engine climbed above it, chugging, "I think I can, I think I can." For the crimson and blue engine, which started out with a full crew, hig.h hopes, and much expected of it, a 7-13 season had anything but a storybook ending. The climb up the mountain gave the engine much needed confidence. After it reached the first plateau, however, it hit a dismal slump and was eventual· ly beaten twice by the orange and black engine. " In the district game against Tee Jay, we blew a lot of oppor· tunities by not connecting one on ones," said Kip Shanks '85, who was elected most valuable player for the second year in a row. Head coach Phil Nielsen felt that a few free throws broke the season. " We were about six free throws and a couple of layups away from an 11-9 season," he said. While the overall record of the team was disappointing, the season had some fantastic mo· men ts . The highlight of the season came aga inst Millard South , who annihilated the same group of guys last year 94·52. The game was the Lynx 's best overall performance, as they exercised patience, good defense, and good rebounding to defeat the Indians 45-41. " After the Millard South win, we were pumped," said Kurt Kay '86, who tied Shanks in to· tal points scored, " but the next day at Harlan, we got killed, and that drained us. " Indeed, once the recession hit, it was hard to recover. " After the loss to Northwest in the Metro Tournam ent, we could never get a string of victories going," Shanks said. The second highlight of the season went unseen to fans. Craig Tracy '86, and Greg White '86, held a dunk contest before a scrimmage in which each tried to do something more spectacular than the other. " Craig started out with a slam, and then I went up for a two-hand monster. Then he went from the baseline with an incredible grab-the-rim , over you Moses, turn·around jam that wrought havoc on the backboard," White said. Despite such loose, high spir· ited practice sessions, Nielsen said the team played too uptight in games. To help players relieve tension and relax , he asked hypno-therapist Dick Graves to meet with the team before Districts. " I think it helped us relax, but it was too little too late," said Rich James '85. Perhaps, but amid the climb up and the tailspin down the mountain, all three basketball teams set records. The varsity compiled the third best record since 1970, while 31 total wins (JV's 12, sophomore's 12) was the high· est since 1970. But such records were little consolation for a little crimson and blue engine that was in high gear and thought it could, only to find out in the end that it just couldn't.

But no matter what, they came up short, ending their season 7-13. The Lady Lynx started out strong, downing their first two opponents by 14 and 48 points. But the competition got tougher, and with each loss, the team's spirit sank lower. Coach Dave Brown knew it was going to be a shaky year because he had to bring up varsity reserves to fill vacated guard positions. "These girls were average guards, forced to play against above average forwards. This made the difference in the close games," Brown said, "and it was losing those games and beWITH EXCELLENT FOLLOW THROUGH, two-year letterwinner Cindy Wilson shoots over Tee Jay guard Dawn Tallman.

Either the forwards or the guards were hot, but both courts seldom had a good game on the same night. When the guards held Treynor to 54 points, for example, the forwards managed to score only 42 points. "They just couldn't play 32 minutes of good basketball," Brown said. Although the Lynx led during the first three quarters of the sectional game against Lewis Central , for example, they turned cold with four minutes left in the fourth quarter, and their dreams of going to State were shattered when they were defeated 57-69. " The game was the most depressing of the year because it was our last and there was so much at stake," said Cindy Wilson '85. "When I saw Nancy Wichman and Janette Pearcy after the game, I broke down and cried, knowing we would never play together again." Late in the season when the girls were edgy and upset, intert ea m conflicts and attitude problems forced Brown to hold a meeting at which the girls ironed out differences and talked about their losses. "The guard court was so full of hostility as each girl strived to earn her position," said Jill McManigal '86. " At the meeting we rea lized we were on the court to play together, not against one another." Getting problems solved seemed to give the team the incentive they needed to open fire on fifth rated Tri-Center. The Lady Lynx came into the gym fired up, but they were down by six with only a few minutes gone. Then Jill Pechacek '86, moved inside and tied the score 12-12. AL was down by as much as 8 and 9, but the girls kept fighting back. At the end of regulation time, the score was tied 74- 74. AL ended up losing 76-81, but the girls came out of the lockerroom knowing they had almost knocked a team out of the top ten. " The tears we shed were not only for the loss. We cried because we were happy with the way we played together. We shocked our parents, fans, and coaches," sa id Nancy Wic hman '85. C-H-A-R-G-E!

With a loss of two team mem· bers to graduation and one to an injury, the Lady Lynx began their fall season with only three golfers, not even enough to compete as a team , but by Spring 1985, the team finished 7-1 and became city champs. As the first match quickly ap· proached, team members tried to recruit new players. Finally, after a few days of convincing, Laura Roeder '86, joined the team and the girls had just enough players to compete. The girls agreed that placing third in the C.B. Invitational was the highlight of their fall season, with Lori Lepley '86, taking fifth place and Marjorie Smith '86, placing sixth. " Once we recruited Laura, things started happening for us," Lepley said. " Going into the C.B. Invitational, we just wanted to at least place in the top five." The girls' team finished so well that it received special rec· ognition at a pep assembly with a standing ovation from the stu· dent body. Things were looking even brighter for the team in the spring with new recruits Jill Pe· chacek '86, and Brenda Walker '88, joining the squad. " I had never even picked up a club before, but I was con· vinced by Coach Brown and some of my friends to go out," Pechacek said.

The Lynx came from singles play with only two winners, Wells, num· ber four singles, and Wichman, voted most improved player, in number five singles. They went into doubles play needing all three matches to win. The doubles were close, 8· 5 , 8·6, 8·4, but the Lynx pulled ahead and won 5·4.

The boys had no better luck with Mother Nature. "Half way through the Clarinda meet on Friday, we had to stop because it started pouring. On Monday, we had to drive all the way back to Clarinda to fin· ish the second half," said Randy Nitcher '85. "With seven cancellations due to bad weather, we eventually lost our feel for competitiveness." Besides rain, inexperience plagued track runners. Both teams were young, with only three junior girls and four senior boys. "Because of inexperience, our coach did a lot of experi· menting with girls and their po· sitions," said Andrea Darveaux '87. "I usually ran the quartermile relay, but I ended up doing the 100-meter hurdles." Despite its faults, the girls' team ended the season on a positive note, sending four members to State. Trzeciak placed sixth in the BA TON GIRL. Doing her part, Shary Judkins strides around the curve at the Atlantic meet, careful not to drop the baton.

Like the girls, boys had to bat- . tie inexperience, and encountered the additional problems of runners quitting and Coach Joe Hauser missing practices due to his wife's illness. "Although we didn't have much senior leadership or experience, we weren't that bad at the beginning of the season," said John Larsen '87. "Then the season dragged on and two of our four seniors quit, along with 13 underclassmen. Unfortunately, the boys' team just slowly fell apart." Under the handicaps of a rainy track season filled with inexperience and quitting, both girls' and boys ' track teams finished their seasons disappointed. TRACK.

To solve such problems, more than 130 students participated in intramural basketball, powerlifting, and soccer. " When I went out for basketball last year, I found myself just riding the bench, watching the same people play every game," said Brian Olson '86. " This year, I participated in intramural basketball because it gave everyone a chance to play." Although more playing time attracted some boys, less competition interested others. " I always had so much fun playing that I never knew what the score was until the end of the game," said Scott Baker '86. Both intramural basketball by muscles and embarrassing bulges by keeping athletes physically fit between sports seasons. r " Powerlifting not only kept me in shape after football season," said Jeff Tilley '86, " but lifting weights every other day also improved my track performance." With sponsors in place of coaches for both sports, members, felt they gained independence as well as self-gratification. "Without a coach screaming down my back, I had to rely completely on myself to lift weights during the week," said Shannon Shea '85. "The personal satisfaction of improving on my own was a great reward."

Soccer players felt that this year's harder practices had improved their ball control and running endurance. " Last year was fun, but kind of easy." said Dennis Nielsen '86. "Playing on a varsity squad is more exciting and challenging because we not only had tougher practices, but better competition.'' Finishing the season 7-3, soccer members hoped to start a winning tradition at AL " Hopefully, our winning season will interest other boys in going out for soccer," said Jesse Turner '85. " I think AL soc· cer will be a stronger, more popular sport in the future." With intramura l basketball creating fewer bench warmers, powerlifting fighting flab, and soccer kicking up enthusiasm, these sports shaped up to be welcome additions to the sports schedule. I had to quit basketball during the season due to a back injury. When it healed, I decided to skip the hassle of trying out for the team again and get more playing time by giving intramurals a try.

Coach Terrell Clinton s hows e ach boy where he is to be stationed during a delay game against Millard North. The junior varsity won 50-47. 122 Special Feature 11-star coaches who care bility to get the most from others, inside-out knowledge of a sport, commitment to fairness, and a caring for players as people - these were the essential ingredients of good coaching. In a survey of 50 athletes, pushing players to do their best gained 27 votes as the most important quality needed by a successful coach. "Mr. Allen pushes us very hard and he keeps us motivated," said Bryan Muschall '86. " When we wrestled Tee Jay, I ended up going all three periods and Mr.Allen was there during the whole match cheering me on. I won the match 9-7, but it would have been tough without him." Knowledge followed close behind, with 25 ath· letes naming it as the most important coaching component. Cindy Wilson '85, remembered a time when Coach Dave Brown used his knowledge of basketball to secure an important win for the girls. " We were tied with St. Albert in the fourth quarter with two minutes left. Mr. Brown told us to work the ball , draw fouls, and go inside for high percentage shots . It worked. Janette Pearcy was fouled , she made both her free throws and we won the game." On the other side of the coin, players agreed that favoritism and lack of respect for athletes ' feelings were most often the quali· ties that contributed to coaching failure. " If a coach shows favoritism, players tend to dislike both the coach and the favored player, which brings added friction to the team ," said Julie Royer '85. With two sons playing under him, avoiding favoritism required special care for head basketball Coach Phil Nielsen. " In order for Curt and Scott to play , they have to play better than the other boys on the team. If they weren 't good enough to play , they simply wouldn 't play ," said Nielsen. " It's tough on them , but they can handle it." Although it seemed that players would always complain about coaches playing favorites, athletes seemed to rate coaches high overall , saying they deserved half or most of the credit for successful seasons. "Mr. Em sick played a major role in our success," said John Schwertley '85. " He kept our spirits up, feeling in his heart that we could be 7-2. He put a lot of time in, going to other games and scouting other teams while working out offenses and defenses that would demolish other schools." But according to Emsick, although he called the plays, it was the team which put everything together out on the field. Although athletes felt they could communicate well with their coaches, most described the relationship as strictly coach-player. " I can talk to Mr. Brown person to person, but if I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I was upset, I wouldn 't feel comfortable talking to h im about it," said Jill McManigal '86, basketball player. Athletes said , though , that a few coaches willingly stepped over the coaching boundary and became a friend, helping pull athletes out of depression. "My grandpa died during volley ball season and he and I were really close ," sai d Amy Crowl '86. " I was reall y upset and Miss Kyte came to me and we talk ed about my experiences with m y grandpa and she told of experiences she had had with her grandpa . We both ended up in tears. I' ll never forget that because I really needed someone to listen and it meant a great deal to m e." Being a great coach wasn 't easy, for it required a delicate balance of teaching, listening, disciplining, and caring.

Other changes were much more subtle, but to individuals, they were just as important. Here is just a sample of personal switches individuals made. " Instead of letting everyone else do everything, I decided I wanted to be involved, so I tried out for plays, joined clubs, and helped plan dances. I loved it because I met a lot of people and made close friends. " - Deb Philpot '85 "I decided to sell my Camero because I was sick of working six days a week to pay for it and doing nothing else. It's great because now I work less, have lots of time for track, and know I am doing something good for myself." - Robert Tompkins '87 " I was tired of the same old style of button-down oxfords and jeans, so I decided to start dressing new wave to stand out from the crowd and feel special." - Libby Campbell '86 " Getting married and having a baby has made a lot of big changes in my life.

But a pamphlet couldn't tell you what you wanted to know. You needed first-hand experience. Many seniors found that visiting colleges made their decisions easier. " I visited Central College because their golf program really interested me . I checked out the dorms, the cost, and the kinds of classes they offered," said Curt Nielsen '85. " The college really interested me, but my decision will be based on my chance to get a scholarship." Many students returned from their campus visits with eye-opening facts about college life. "During my visit to UNI, I took a student tour and attended some classes. The college classroom was very different," said Debbie Philpot '85. " Usually there were up to 300 students in one class. Students were able to come and go whenever. There was a lot of independence." Sometimes seniors returned with the knowledge that they didn't want to attend a particular school. " I was very interested in Colorado State's liberal arts program, but I found the college to be very small and the people seemed unfriendly," said Kathie Tvrdik '85. " The atmosphere did not keep my interest and that made me decide I didn 't want to go there. " In a few cases, college visits actually caused seniors to change previously made decisions. "I was seriously planning on attending Iowa State, but when I visited the campus, I changed my mind. There was so much emphasis on math and science there and I would like to go into early childhood education," said Debbie Armstrong '85. Whether it was through taking a campus tour, attending a couple of classes , or staying in the dorms, many seniors experienced a bit of college life before they had to make the final decision about which school they would attend.

Seniors struggle for best possible portrait Lights, cam era, smile pretty! It sounds so easy, doesn't it? But a pretty smile did not always a pretty picture make. Many decisions had to be made before those smiles were flashed for senior pie· tu res. Long before their appointment, students started worrying about which photogra· pher to choose. Their decisions were based m ainly on reputat ions and prices, which ranged any where from $93 to $147, de· pending · on the photographer. Senio rs also had to decide on what c lothes to wear. Many admitted trying on countless out fits from their c losets and then deciding to spend $30 to $400 on new clothes. Once those decisions were m ade, jitters began to set in as the appointment drew nearer. Seniors worried abou t anyth ing from the weather being bad to their photog· rapher being weird. "I was so afraid the photographer would be a real weirdo," said Lori Christiansen '85. "But he ended up being really nice." To beat their nervousness, seniors tried singing, eating, listening to the radio, or whatever else worked. " I j ust turned on Billy Squ ire and ran around the house to keep my mind off it," said Karen Olson '85. Others resorted to self-inflicted pep talk s. "I stood in the studio dressing room talking to m yself ·in the mirror," said Steve Smith '85. " I k ept tell ing m yself, 'Steve, don 't war· ry about it, you 'll do great.'" A fter seniors survived getting their pie· tu res taken, the hardest decision of all re· m ained the selection of final pictu res from their proofs. " M y parents finally ended up helping m e choose mine," said Dave V. Phillips '85, "and it st ill took ov er a week."

Seniors fill last year with work or play While one senior studied diligently behind a stack of research books, another lounged in a cushioned chair, reading up on the latest hair care advancements in Glamour magazine. Like those in previous senior classes, the '85 seniors made decisions about what each of them wanted out of the final year of high school, thus dividing the class into two basic groups, according to some: dedicated students and the "vegetables:" The " vegetable" philisophy held that the senior year was a rest period between " younger years" and the real world. "Your senior year is a time to be able to take intermediate underwater basket weaving without scuba gear, if you've earned it," said Shannon Shea '85. " I worked hard my junior and sophomore years; I think I should be able to slack off a little." Other students sloughed off because they did not believe that second sem ester grades were important. WITH A FAITHFUL CAN OF POP AT HIS SIDE, Mark Dorsett gets serious about an assignment due in his basic drafting class. " Teachers told me that colleges and universities look only at your first semester grades," said Mike Merryman '85. Meanwhi le, certain students who tried hard to get good grades and prepare for their first semester of college spent hours buried beneath homework assignments and class notes. "I study roughly 10 hours a week . Sometimes it's hard to m otivate myself to do homework because I've been accepted to Iowa State since September, but I still take grades seriously for scholarships," said Melanie Anderson '85. Those who planned to enter a specific job field also spent numerous hours accum ulating necessary experience and knowledge. " I cracked down to k eep m y grades halfway decent, especially for test s in cosmetology since I'm planning to get into it," said Kim Dittm er '85. Although many students fell under one c lassification, there were those who fell somew here between the dedicated st udents and "vegetables," managing to study and relax at the same time.

Those planning to attend college or the armed service knew they would be taken care of, unlike the 32 percent of the Senior Class that would seek a full-time job and their own place after graduation. 'Tm anxious to do something different with my life, but I'm worried about all the pressures I may encounter in such different surroundings," said Pam Duncan '85, who planned to work after graduation and earn enough money to attend secretarial school. For many seniors, the biggest problems they faced were financial. ' 'I'm work ing part-time now, saving the money I earn. I'm stiff unsure about what I want to do after high school. What worries me most is having money in case I have to support myself," said Jesse Turner '85, 132 Karen Kadereit Jim Keeffe Tim Kenkel Deb Kimsey Mike Kinney Melody Knott Norman Knott Mary Kobold Bill Koch Kirk Koenig Karan Kowal Jeff Kraft Jay Larson Pam Larson Terry Lars on Seniors Kadereit·Miller who earned $5 an hour working as a custodian at Mercy Hospital.

" I carry food to patients at Mercy Hospital and earn $4.50 an hour," said Mark Thompson '85. " After graduation I hope to work my way up and earn money so I can attend a vocational school." Whether the decision was to get a job or enter business or trade school, most seniors agreed being on their own was an exciting but frightful prospect. " I didn't realize all the responsibilities and worries in life until I moved out and got a job," said Julie K. Andersen '85. TWO'S COMPANY.

If " Joe Cool" got a girlfriend , all of his buddies felt compelled to pair up, too. Even though seniors were in their last leg of high school, many admitted that things had not changed much: peer pressure still carried a lot of weight. " I think no matter what grade you're in, there's pressure about sex. As a sopho· more, you feel pressure because you don't know what people expect of you. As seniors a lot of people believe you should have had sex by that time," said Penny Bostine· los '85.

" I'm really not affected anymore,·· said Dawn Young '85. " Before, I did things because everyone was doing them. I went to a party just because it was a party and I fe.lt left out. I finally left and found something better to do. " Another concern of some seniors was the need to uphold their image as the class that parties, causes havoc, and does as little studying as possible. "I think that because everyone believes seniors are supposed to blow everything off, many of them start acting that way," said Leslie Wrinkle '85. Counselor Joe Wheeler, however, felt that the types of pressures on seniors depended largely on the group with whom they associated. " Academic students feel pressure about grades whereas other students experience other pressures," he said. Although seniors had matured, most found that peers still influenced their dec isions and behav ior. Peer Pressure 135 ALL SUITED UP, Rod Brandenburg prepares for a weekend of playing army.

For others, the ROTC program was the answer to college costs. " I figure that I can handle giving three years of my life to the service since the Navy will pay for my college," said Matt Burke '86, who planned to go into the ROTC program and major in engineering. Others planned to join the military be· cause it would give them four more years of security not found in the world of work. In addition to free room and board, cloth· ing, medical and dental ca re, and guaranteed income offered in the armed forces, the m ilitary would give students a sense of purpose for the next few years. " The Marines was an alternative to college because I knew I had to do something besides just graduate," said Rob Varner '85. Another advantage of military life was travel. Sharlene Anderson '85, said that in addition to helping her sa ve money for college through the Veterans' Assistance Prog ram, the army ' s travel opportunities would provide a great way for her to get away from Counc il Bluffs and see the rest of the world. With m oney for college, security, and travel, it was no wonder so many seniors decided to join forces with Unc le Sam . 136 Seniors Reifschneider-Thompson Tami Reifschneider Melissa Reilly Scott Reynolds Paul Rief Angela Ringberg Cindy Ronk Kevin Rooney Mike Rosa Chris Rounds Julie Royer Troy Ruby Shawn Russell Dan Ryan Jamie Santiago Bruce Schafer Michelle Schlott Scott Schmoker Bill Schnitker Diane Schoeppner Sonja Schumacher Jolene Schwarzkopf John Schwertley Nancy Sealock Kip Shanks Kathy Shanno Gale Shaw Shannon Shea Troy Shew Paul Shomshor Lori Smith Robin Smith Steve Smith Marcy Sparr John Spurgin Bob S tephens Terri Stevens Toni Steward Karen Stone Monica Stover Ann Szemplenski Craig Thomas Kristie Thompson Armed Services 137 JUST HORSIN' AROUND.

A few days later, just after you got used to seeing them together, you spotted one of them entangled in someone else's arms. Although short-lived relationships were common to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, seniors took the dating game more seriously, making a conscious decision about whether to play the field or go steady. For several reasons, seniors decided that dating many different people was the only way to go in their final year of high school. Through playing the field, seniors discovered an easy and interesting way to meet people and make new friends. " By going out with several different people, I get to know not only them but also their friends. It's a great way to meet people," said Dan Fauble '85. But others could not even think about going out with several people. " I couldn't handle going out with someone different every weekend. It would drive me nuts," said Kathy Shanno '85. " There is no consistency, nothing stable in those relationships." Just being able to be themselves was one of the reasons some seniors preferred the steady scene. " Going steady with someone means you're on a more personal basis. You know what they expect, and you don't have to put on a show," said Casey Wood '85. " When you date different people all the time, you never know what to expect and you're always trying to impress them." Seniors who decided to go steady found their decision to be convenient more often than not. " Going steady is the best way to go. You always have something to do on the weekends, and you never have to worry about a date for Prom," said Paula McClenathan '85.

Flirting happened every hour in classrooms and hallways, as guys paid attention to girls and girls aroused curiosity in guys. Juniors found that without making the first move by flirting, people couldn't become easily acquainted. So they set to work , each with his or her own method of easing the tension and trying to get noticed by that special someone. " I love to tease girls about their cropped pants, " said Carter Larson '86, " but sometimes they don't know whether I'm flirting or just giving them a hard time. " Others believed compli - ments, not teasing, were the way into hearts. " Flattery will get you evrlrywhere," said Kerry Over '86. " Flirting is a great way to boost someone's ego and make them feel good. Everyone needs a hug and a laugh now and then ." While some juniors flirted to meet new people or simply to lift spirits, others just enjoyed the challenge. " It's not the kill, but the thrill of the chase," said Liz Larsen '86. " I just love the challenge of being on Broadway and seeing if guys will follow me. Then after I know I have them, I turn the corner and lose them." Although flirting for the most part was lighthearted, jealousy often came into the picture. " It seems whenever I talk to another girl, I'm flirting , but when Lori talks to other guys, they 're just friends ," said Chris Hough '86. While flirting could be challenging and exciting, Eric Jensen '86, summed it up when he said , " Everyone flirts , that's natural. But if you're really good at it, no one knows you 're flirting."

Well, for Amy J ones '86 , and Jill Pechacek '86, the easiest way to avoid that monotonous scene was to challenge each other to see who could go the longest without shav ing their legs.

"I went for almost two had to give in and shave for Christmas Dance or my date said he would refuse to go with me." Whether it was a boy shaving his face or a girl shaving her legs, shaving was a time after time task . While most girls were 12 or 13 when they first shaved their legs, most boys began shaving in their midteens. In a poll of 100 junior boys, 70 percent listed 15 as the age they began shaving regularly . T h e av e rage boy sh a v ed once a day, while m ost girls said they shaved about every other day in the summer because of the bathing suits and shorts they wore, and once a week in the winter. " It depends on what I am wearing," said Maureen Liggett '86. " If no one will see m y legs, I'm not going to bother to shave them ." If boy s had one com plaint about shav ing, it was that fe· m ale m embers of the fam ily used the guys' razors to shave legs and underarms. " It seem s like every morning I find m y razor in the shower, and each day it gets duller and duller," said Todd Woods '86.

Finally, the bell rings and everyone scurries away with an exchange of " we'll talk later." But despite such plans made between classes, at lunch, and over the phone, each weekend became a repeat of the one be· fore. the same things - go to a par· ty, see a movie, or just drive around trying to find where ev· eryone is," said Jeff Tilley '86. " It's hard to find exciting things to do in Council Bluffs." Each week, difficulties arose that made the perfect weekend hard to come by . Disagree· ments over who should drive and where to go and conflicts in curfews caused many juniors to make the simplest of plans. " We seem to spend half the night deciding where to go. By the time we get somewhere, we " It seems like we always do have to turn around and take someone home because we all have different curfews," said Laura Laubenthal '86. Although juniors admitted that each weekend activity was made enjoyable by the com· pany they kept, many agreed that if variety was the spice of life, most weekends were pretty bland. "There is never anything dif· fer nt to do," said Kim Holly '86, " but if you're with good friends, it really doesn't matter what you do."

Hurriedly fumbling with the zipper on her dress, she cried out to her mother for as· sistance. Her mother was al· ready busy, though, frantically searching for her daughter's lip· stick. Denise, now so nervous her hands were shaking, won· dered if the whole night would be like this. Like Denise, many sopho· mores were overcome with ner· vous anticipation the night of their first formal. "I was worried about tripping on my dress and falling on my face, " said Vicki Fuller '87. "But after a little while, I com· pletely forgot about the dress and just had a good time." Once the butterflies had van· ished, most sophomores said they were able to enjoy their first formal. ''I'll always remember Prom because it was so crazy," said Lori Barritt '87. "Chris's foot was broken, and it was really funny watching him trying to dance." The elegance of a formal sur· prised many sophomores. "I was surprised when I walked into the UNO ballroom. The decorations were fabu· lous," said Denise Mackey '87. "There were so many people dressed up who I could never imagine in tuxes and formals. When I went back to school on Monday, everyone seemed like such slobs compared to Prom night." Some, however, found that dressing up was a difference that made the night an awk· ward one. "I don't like dressing up, so I guess that's one thing about Christmas Dance I didn't like," said Mark Royer '87. " I would have preferred jeans and a polo." A few sophs who didn't have drivers licenses . yet found that transportation to and from the dance was an embarrassing problem. "My date and I doubled with two friends , but none of us could drive," said Sarah Smock '87. " It was embarrassing be· cause we had to have our par· ents haul all four of us around. We went out to eat but didn't get to go anywhere after the dance, so our night was cut short." But for most sophomores the nervousness and excitement of a first formal were memories that would be cherished for a long time. "Going to Prom was a new experience," said Mindy Har· man '87.

First car fantasy becomes expensive but glorious reality as students discover the Wonder of ·wheels 158 F or as long as you could re· member, you fantasized about driving a car. You just couldn ' t wait until that six· teenth birthday rolled around when you could speed around town in the family car. But after that sixteenth birth· day came and went , it just wouldn 't do to be seen in the family car. You wanted a sleek car of your own . For many sophomores, that wish became a reality , as either the parent or the student him· self decided that having another car would be more practical. " My parents let me have a car mainly because they fig· ured it would be convenient for them if I could drive myself to and from school and tennis Sophomores Ruby-z· immerman practice," said Chris Drustrup '87. " They also felt it would be safer if I drove instead of taking rides from other people." Whether the sophomore paid for his car himself or his parents did, there were expenses for which he was responsible, ac· cording to Robert Tompkins '87, who spent $25 every two weeks for gas, $89 a month for insurance, and $50 a month to pay back his dad . " My mom bought my car, but I have to pay her back when I get a job," said Nancy Wagner '87. " Right now I have to pay for gas, which takes up most of my allowance and babysitting mon· ey ." Many parents put some re· strictions on the use of their teenager's car, as they set cur· few s and forbade driving in Omaha . "It's one more thing they can take away when you get in trou· ble or have a bad report card," Kelly Yost '87, said. Though parents may have set down some rules, and the upkeep may have been expen· sive, sophomores agreed that the freedom of having a car was worth the expense. " When you have your own car, you can go anywhere you want whenever you want, with· out asking for rides," said Tra· cy Laney '87. " It's great not having to work around other people's schedules."

At the front of the room Peggy Rodri· guez, German instructor, glanced nervously out of the corner of her eye at Diimig. " I was nervous during the scripting be· cause I hadn't heard much about the procedure. I couldn 't imagine what he could be writing about all that time," said Rodriguez. " He wrote down every word and movement that happened." This process of recording every word said during a class, called scripting, was part of the SIM (School Improvement Model) method of evaluating teachers soon to be adopted by the school board. "I have never encountered anything like the scripting method in my 30 years of teaching," said Don Whyte, English teacher. "From the positive side, it's specific." According to Diimig, each teacher was scripted, and six teachers were evaluated entirely according to SIM. Clark Allen. Bas. & Adv. Metals, Welding, Head Wrestling Diana Andrade.

The administrator then scripted the class. A post-conference followed, at which the teacher and administrator broke down the script and the administrator made sug· gestions and commendations. " Mr. Diimig made a helpful suggestion. He told me my question time wasn't long enough. When I asl<ed a student a question, I didn't give the student ample time to answer," said Mary Gepner, American studies teacher. Teachers and administrators agreed that SIM was needed to improve the old method of evaluation. " The scripting is excellent. It helps correct idiosyncracies in speech," said Linda Smoley, journalism instructor, "and makes evaluations much more specific. It means more to receive a letter complimenting specific things you do well rather than co~tain · ing general comments." SCRIBBLING AW A Y.

Even on Sundays, she set her alarm for 5 a.m. so she could study. Her social life became a thing of the past. Text· books became constant companions , ac· companying her to class, lunch, and the library . That student was Anina Madsen, math instructor, who enrolled in a computer liter· acy class for the fall semester. " After I took that class , I knew what it was like to study for a test and not know what would be on it," she said. Teachers who enrolled in classes often found themselves rearranging their life· styles to find time for family, homework, lesson plans, and sleep. " I have no time for relaxation. It ruins my weekends, " said Connie Byrnes, math teacher, who took a computer class. Many teachers made such sacrifices to achieve goals that ranged from gaining ' - knowledge to increasing their pay on the salary scale. " My purpose is to learn things applicable to my teaching situation," said Corey Lar· son, special education instructor. " Teach· ing the students I have takes a lot of exper· ience and extraordinary training for it to be done well." While trying to achieve their goals, teach· ers said their families, social lives, and sleep were most commonly disturbed. " I had to live with no sleep, no social life, and the knowledge that if I missed one class, it would be like missing one week of school," said Cheryl Tousley , English teacher. Yet, many teachers said they liked being on the other side of the desk for a change. " There exists a pressure to excel and present quality work . It makes you think how the student feels under test pressure and deadlines," said Dave Brown, special education instructor. A LITTLE HELP FROM A FRIEND.

A t 6:15 a.m. on a typical school day, Debbie Tettenborn, business teach· er, crawled out of bed, turned on the televi· sion and began her 15·minute exercise rou· tine. After spending 40 minutes showering, dressing, and eating, she hopped in her car and drove to the Country Skillet on 103rd and Fort, where she met Penny Hutchison, P.E. instructor, and Steve Swee, account· ing teacher, for the 35-minute ride from northwest Omaha to AL. _.J A long drive to school was not all that uncommon for teachers. Only 24 of the 69 teachers lived in the AL district. Addresses of the other 45 ranged from west Council Bluffs to northwest Omaha to Glenwood. Eight teachers said they carpooled to save money, despite the inconvenience of following others' schedules. To avoid such problems, most teachers drove alone to school, saying the solo trip provided a chance to collect their thoughts and savor the morning. " I enjoy the drive to reflect on the things I need to do for the day, watch the sunrise, and listen to the radio," said Dave Brown, Robert Robuck.

"When I go home, I leave my job in Coun· cil Bluffs. I seldom ever see my students when we go out, and I love our privacy," Hutchison said. Teachers who lived within the school 's two mile radius, on the other hand, enjoyed the convenience of a short drive and extra sleep each morning. In fact, some couldn't imagine driving more than 5 or 10 minutes to school. "I would rather live close to school, but living this close has its disadvantages," said Mick Freeman, physics teacher.

Laura Thrush and Lisa Brink deliver 118 items the newspaper staff donated to the food drive. 166 Community Division haring the good life with those around them, students became generous givers of food and blood. During the Hunger Hurts campaign, for example, 627 food items and more than $1QO in cash were donated, compared to fewer than 100 items donated last year. Willing donors appeared at the Senior Class blood drive too, where 18 students had to be turned away due to lack of time and space, and 124 pints were collected. The enthusiastic turnout was a definite sw!tch for workers who previously had to o eg for donors. Just as students gave of themselves to the community, the community seemed to take more interest than ever in AL. Some attention was welcomed and some was not. Community members and parents helped select NHS Hall of Fame inductees and a new principal by screening applicants, interviewing, and writing evaluations. This involvement was appreciated, but students resented junior high parents' scrutinization and questioning of AL' s curriculum, atmosphere, and discipline. While Al's relationship to the community was changing, so was the entire Council Bluffs area. With the announcement of a new mall close to AL and a racetrack planned near Interstate 80, the promise of added income and employment excited everyone. Whether students gave of themselves, community members gave their time and expertise to AL, or business prepared for expansion, the school and community had one thing in common - the switch was on!

Soon, Coppock's cheeks flushed as he realized chords of " Happy Birthday" from friends were directed toward him. "l was so embarrassed when 1 realized the balloons were for me. 1 felt so stupid," Coppock said. "My friends gave me a hard time and tried to pop them. 1 finally had to take the balloons to the office." Balloon-a-grams and bouquets were delivered to students fre· quently. Ranging in price from $10 for a simple bouquet to over $40 for a sing·a·gram, balloons provided a special way of saying " Happy Birthday," "Thanks for all your hard work," or "Cheer up." "l had no idea what was going on," said Ann Szemplenski '85, yearbook editor, after receiving a balloon-a-gram from the staff as a thank you. "I had a million things to do in the room, and Angela Hauser was dragging me out to keep me away until the surprise arrived." Barb Demory, Kirn librarian and co-owner of the Balloon Bou· tique said her idea was originally to sell to children, but most of her business has turned out to be adults. "Balloons are so cheery ," Demory said. " l don't think anyone gets a balloon-a-gram or bouquet without a smile, and it's just as much fun for the people delivering as sending."

Your stom· ach grumbled, demanding food. But your brain couldn't make a decision. Would a Whopper craving beat a Big Mac attack, or would a burrito overtake a roast beef sandwich? For most students, such decisions were made almost everyday. As Bojangle's, Hardee's, and Arby's opened in the fall, the number of fast food restaurants in C.B. climbed to 37. A poll of 150 students revealed that 48 percent preferred fast food restaurants to fine dining or family style. "To grab a bite to eat, you don't have to get dressed up. People who dress up usually go over to Omaha for the evening anyway," said Cindy Voss '87, " but when someone is in a hurry or doesn't want to put on good clothes, they usually stay in Council Bluffs.' ' The · main reason students ate fast food was convenience. Eighty·three percent of the students polled said there was a fast food restaurant within five miles of their home. "Whenever my mom doesn't feel like cooking, it's really easy to grab something to eat because Taco Bell is so close to my house," said Craig Faust '87. But convenience wasn't the only reason fast food became so popular. Forty percent of the students polled said they ate at their favorite fast food joint because the quality of food there exceeded that of competitors. "My favorite is Burger King because they have better food than McDonald's and have been around longer than Hardee's," said Kelly Groce '85. Groce was not the only one who felt Burger King was number one. Results from the survey showed that Burger King was the favorite of 58 percent of the students. Taco Bell ranked second with 21 percent and Hardee's placed third with 11 percent. According to Todd Neilson, assistant manager trainee for the 16th street Burger King, the reason Burger King won over Taco Bell by such a wide margin was the type of food served. "Hambur· gers are an all-American food," Neilson said. " Some people don't like the spices in Mexican food, but everyone loves hamburgers."

Mark Johnson asks as he looks at knicknacks at the China Cupboard. :--- --We mean business----. Businessmen restore old homes for Victorian shops specializing in Novel • notions 0 n South Seventh Street, six elegant old houses stood in a row like ships tied at bay. They stood tall and proud because people hated to see them torn down and had the imagination to turn them into a strip of businesses referred to as Victorian Row. "In this day and age, we're very quick to tear something down, but with Victorian Row we're saving a piece of history," said Patty Ford, home economics instructor. Victorian Row consisted of specialty shops such as Etcetera, featuring gifts and home decorations; the China Cupboard, car· rying all sorts of antiques; Nancy Lee's Treasure House, featur· ing baby and children's clothing as well as handcrafted gifts; and Victorian Stitchery, a hobby shop carrying everything for sewing, knitting and embroidering. Margarite's Catering, a food specialty shop, was one of the last businesses to join Victorian Row. "I ate at Margarite's Catering with my grandmother. Since I really love food, it means a lot when I say it was one of the best food experiences I've had," said Rich James '85. Victorian Row businesses settled there to be close to home and give Council Bluffs residents the opportunity to shop for specialty items here instead of having to go to Omaha. "If people are going to buy items to better their homes, thus bettering Council Bluffs, it doesn't make sense for them to have to go to Omaha to do so," said Mrs. Glennis Leitch, one of the shop owners of Victorian Row.

The first phase was to include 500,000 square-feet, 100 'specialty shops, two major retailers, a multi-screened theater, a cafeteria, and restaurant in a common seating area called Cafe Court. Stage two would be 200,000 square feet of specialty shops and a third major retailer. National chains including J.C. Penney and Target were to be located in the mall.

Soon, un· finished tests lay on empty desks as students headed to the cour~ yard for another hour of play. Many instances such as this oc· curred from late March to the end of the year, as construction workers began linking the addition to the main building, jackhammering away to run duct work and plumb· ing under classroom windows. Most students enjoyed the dis· traction because it often gave them a chance to sit in the court yard or lounge, instead of in class. "I prayed everyday that the noise would start so I wouldn't have to listen to Mr. Whyte's lectures in sec· ond hour English class," said Rich Housley '85. Teachers said the noise, odor, and dust was a huge detriment to learning. "It was most unfortunate for stu· dents. Many times we had to leave the room," said Carol Murray, Eng· lish instructor. "I just hope the end result will be worth it." Some teachers said the year had been especially hard on them per· sonally. "Between my diet, middle age crisis, and that awful menacing noise, I thought I might end up in the mental ward," said Don Whyte, English instructor. Overall, teachers and students agreed that AL would have better studying conditions once the con· struction was completed.

P us hing and shoving to get t hrough halls so crowded there is hardly room to breath was the most common vision students entertained about fall 1985, the first semester AL would be a four-year high s chool. "It's going to be total confusion PACKING UP. Art instructor Miriam Boyd packs the 8 lst box of supplies and equipment which would have to be moved from her room of 1 7 years to the new art suite . Boyd said she had packed 100 boxes. in the halls." We 'll be lucky to make it to class on time with so many people here," said Sally Welch '86. The administration, however, felt the change would be for the better. "Half the student body, a fourth of the teachers, and a third of the counselors will be new to AL," s a id Ron Diimig, assistant principa l. "With all the changes, people a re bound to feel uncertain about next year, but this is an excellent opportunity for gro wth." Some didn't percei ve any proble ms at all. "At my o ther school, freshmen were in the high scho ol, and it didn't cause any problems," said Kelly Christie '86. Others were simply glad they weren't going to be a round to experience the confusion. "I'm glad I'm not going to be here next year," said Mark Johnson '85. "It's going to take a lot for the s eniors to break in the ne w principal, the parking will be chaotic, a nd there will be rowdy little freshmen running around e verywhe re ." Like it or not, most teachers a nd students s aid the y would just ha ve to acce pt the change.

Uck Smoley Colophon 197 e knew things would get chaotic, and we were right. As the end of school approached, and construction men worked furiously to begin linking the new addition to the east wing, the din of jackhammers, fumes of diesel engines, and dirt of crashing bricks and upheaveled ground made their way daily into classrooms where learning had to cease. · As teachers worried that lessons were neglected, students frolicked in the courtyard, loving the extra hours for Trivial Pursuit and suntanning. "At least going to the lounge gave us a break from the monotony of class," said Renee Rocheleau '86. When the last day of school finally rolled around, students added to the disarray of the building as they gleefully threw everything from their lockers high into the air and watched old homework assignments, notebooks,and posters fall to the floor, filling the halls with a sea of trash. While custodians scooped up the year's "I WISH YOU WERE GOING TO IOWA!" After graduation, Ann Szemplenski shares an emotional moment with a grade-school friend who will attend a different college. debris, teachers stayed in their rooms making messes of their own. As 30 teachers packed their belongings to be moved to new rooms once the addition was completed, all teachers in the east wing were forced to have everything from books to paper clips packed, labeled, and ready to be stored in the small gym while the tie-in between the old and new wings was made during the summer. Two days later, not a trace of the main office was left, after secretaries and administrators helped custodians move every item into the teachers' lounge, which would serve as the summer office. "This isn't easy work! I've used muscles moving this stuff that I haven't used for a long time, " said Bev McCumber, head secretary. In contrast to the confusion of moving three-fourths of the faculty and all of their belongings, the selection of a new · Continued on page 200 SUMMER STORAGE.

Close friends Lori McKern and Sam Engle share an excited hug after untraditional graduation ceremonies. Closing 199 principal proceeded efficiently, taking less than two months to complete. After applications were screened, five ap· plicants were put through a rigorous day· long interview process. At Central Office the candidates role· played, completed teaching segments, and answered questions. Then at AL, a commit· tee of teachers, students, and parents ques· tioned the candidates. Finally, Central Office personnel traveled to the candidates' home· towns for more checking. The result of all this was the hiring of Dr. Fred Frick of Mason City on May 15. "I was impressed with Dr. Frick. He was positive and has been through the process of moving ninth graders before," said Robert Pettepier, math instructor. Truly, it was fitting that seniors, who had watched so many preparations for the switches of '86, voted to make their Commencement so untraditional. Instead of a guest speaker, they chose a symposium; in· stead of crimson and blue robes, they wore blue and white;. instead of silk roses, they carried real ones; and instead of caps, they tossed ping pong balls. Adding 15 classrooms, hiring a new princi· pal, staging an untraditional Commence· ment - these were switches we could see. But our feelings changed too. A sense of security that came from knowing things would continue as they always had was replaced by a mixture of uncertainty, excitement, hope, and fear about what would be, once the switches to which this year seemed so dedicated became reality in the fall of '85.

We could see it in Dr. Fred Frick, our new principal, who more than surprised us with his people-come first style of administration. We could see it in the 358 freshmen faces excited about being the first ninth grade class ever to attend AL. We could see it in the $1.4 million, 23,000 square foot addition built to accommodate the new Freshman Class and modernize the art and business departments. After a year of planning, building, and moving, the switch was complete, transforming AL into a four-year high school with 360 additional students and 28 new faculty members. With all the changes, students had mfxed feelings about the school year. "At first, I was scared to attend such a big school with so many people," said John McCoy '89. "But after orientation, I was excited about all the new and different activities at AL. There's so much freedom and more classes, clubs, and sports to get involved in." Seniors and juniors saw big changes too, but felt their freedom was curtailed. They complained as the administration implemented new rules and enforced old ones, ordering teachers to patrol the hallways and -prevent students from going to the bathroom, student lounge, or their locker without a hall pass, and tow trucks to remove improperly parked cars from the crowded parking lot. "At first, school was so strict that it seemed like the administration was choking us with new rules," said Jeremy Wilmarth '86. "We did a lot of complaining in the beginning, but soon, most students started going along with the changes, even if a little grudgingly.'' (continued on page 4) ON TOP OF THINGS.

Student Council mem· bers Dennis Kirlin, Scott Sanders, Cathy Morrison, Bill Engel, and Julie Kadere it sort t hrough 1300 food items collected at the Christmas food drive. Even though students were upset, none could really find it in themselves to dislike Dr. Frick, author of most of the changes. Dr. Frick gradually won the respect and support of students and faculty as he spent hours writing notes of encouragement and praise to students and teachers for accomplishments ranging from winning first place in a debate tournament to being elected secretary of the German Club to losing 21 pounds. Within the first three months of school, he had sent more than 1,000 handwritten notes. "Dr. Frick's notes were just one of the many ways he expressed his care for each student," said Renee Rocheleau '86. "In my 12 years of school, I've never met a more personal administrator. I am actually jealous of the freshmen because they will get to have him for four years while I got to have him for just one." Parents and community members also expressed their care by joining the new AL Boosters Inc., one of the biggest booster clubs in the state. Within its first two months, the new group . gained 200 members, who promoted AL not only in athletics, as past booster clubs had done, but in academics, extracurricular activities, and community relations. By second semester, the group had initiated a system to honor four students of the month, one in each of the ·four areas. Like the booster club, pep assemblies were changed to promote all areas of the school, not just sports. Recognition of achievement became a big priority as pep rallies placed emphasis on a variety of activities. At the first assembly alone, 37 nonathletes were recognized for accomplishments during the summer in publications, music, and foreign studies. With a bigger building, more students, a refreshing approach to administration, and a new commitment to excellence in all areas, 1986 had to be the start of something big! "TOM CRUISE, LOOK OUT!"

Individuals donned bulky sweaters and loose shirts, sought after increasingly big bucks, and threw huge parties to celebrate special occasions or nothing at all. Groups thought big, too, dreaming dreams on a grand scale to fill student life with special events never to be forgotten. The musical cast envisioned a production that would dazzle its audience like never before, and to make their dreams come true, they spent six weeks rehearsing and three weeks painting massive sets. Then, after spending $1400 on stage renovations, cast members spent $500 of their own money on lavish costumes. Foreign Exchange Club members imagined the gym transformed into an elegant ballroom for Christmas Dance. To make their fantasies reality, they spent $1200 on balloons, ribbon, flocked trees, poinsettias, and lights. AL Boosters Inc. had big plans, too. To guarantee safety for their kids, they created a post-Prom party featuring dancing, food, movies, and a Las Vegas casino with grand prizes ranging from a used car to a stereo. Whether on our own or as members of a group, we were into big stuff. Our clothes, earnings, plans, parties, and accomplishments all proclaimed 1986 to be the start of something big.

Rasmussen worked for minimum wage, $3.35 a n hour. ot enough green stuff A quick can of caffeine before first hour, the new binding for the book you never covered, a candy bar to stop the third hour blues, the yearbook they keep hounding you about, enough gas to get home and th ' en those sudden shopping sprees - everything demanded money. To support self-indulgent lifestyles, students depended on allowances and pay checks. But whatever the source, income rarely covered expenses. Since pay was usually minimum, jobs forced students to put in maximum time to earn enough for the necessities. s· ixteen-hour days weren 't long h enoug to do justice to classes, homework extra cur- ricular a t• ·t· ' c 1v1 1es, and a job, so some students opted to make bucks first and fit in school when possible. " I'd rather have lots of money than Jots of A's. I get passing grades, and that's good enough for me," said Brad Danker '86, who worked 25 hours a week to clear $175. Even for the serious student who worked just a few hours a week for pocket money, classwork sometimes suffered. "After working all night, I sometimes have to put off my homework until the next day during classes," said Lisa Brink '86. For the 76 percent of students polled who didn't work because they were too young, unable to find a job, or forbidden by parents to work , allowances were essential. To earn that precious $5 to $20 per week, needy students succumbed to doing dishes, babysitting siblings, cleaning rooms, and doing laundry. But after all that effort, they found the cash lasted only three or four days. "It's awful! After going out on Friday and Saturday nights and throwing away money for nothing worthwhile, I have to dig for change in the bottom of my purse for Monday's lunch," said Sue Claussen '87. When students found themselves broke by midweek, babysitting came in handy. Although the pay was low, sitting provided an extra $5 to $10 when desperation struck. " Kids can be awful, but I find a way to like them when I need extra money," said Carolyn Widfeldt '89. But when payday seemed years away, jobs were nowhere to be found, and a reach into the purse or pocket pulled out nothing but fuzz, puppy-dogeyed students turned to parents for emergency funding . They told Mom and Dad they needed just a few dollars for that special Saturday night date or the sweater just begging to be purchased. To cut down on requests for handouts, parents accompanied "money doesn't grow on trees " lectures with deadly drudgeries to be completed in exchange for bail outs. Whether students' cash flowed from an allowance , a paycheck, or their parents' pockets, all agreed the bigger the bucks, the better.

You could watch TV , study, clean your room, rearrange your sock drawer, or go to a party. More than a fe.w students selected parties as top choice. "When someone says party, everyone is ready to go," said Pat Kill '86. But traditional stand-around parties seemed to take a backseat to hayrack rides, surprise parties, and togas after the infamous scavenger hunt set an adventurous tone for the year. "This was a great year for unusual parties! " said Amy Lemen '86. "At one party I attended at Lake Manawa, we pretended to be on Gilligan 's Island. We sang the song from the program, made Cindy Wilson '85, Gilligan, and had all of the crew." As temperatures dropped, PARTIES MAKE LIFE MORE BEARABLE. Anne Dryden and Lisa Wilson giggle as they open t heir gifts at t he girls' baske tball party. 10 Student Life many found hayrack rides, followed by huge bonfires and wienie roasts to be ideal parties. " Hayrack rides are a terrific way to get out in the autumn air," said Lori Barritt '87, "but you usually end up looking like a scarecrow with hay clinging to your clothes and hair." Surprise parties were a biggy on the party list, too, as students found great delight in secretly planning a get-together for an unsuspecting victim's birthday. " I was really caught off guard, " said Matt Burke '86. "I guess the reason they pulled it off so well was that they had it two weeks before my birthday! I never thought about it being a party for me so far ahead." The size of parties ranged from three or four guests to 90. The average party hosted 30 to 40 people. In a poll of 110 stuALL EYES ON HER, Marsha Hoffman opens her gift at a basketball party as Mark Schonberg, Jody Anderson, and Corey Beck watch. dents, two-thirds said they preferred large over small groups. "When it comes to parties, the more the merrier!" said Liz Larson '86. "With large parties, one person tells some friends, then they tell some friends, and you end up with a variety of people. I've made great friends this way." Although students preferred large parties, many felt smaller groups had advantages, too. "When Susan Schumacher and I turned 16, our parents rented a limo for us. We picked up several friends and had a small get-together," said Vicki Gilman '88. "It would've been impossible with lots of people." Whatever the size of the party, most were incomplete without a keg or BYOB instructions.

Popular pastimes included Quarters and Pass Out, but socializing was still high on the list. "Although alcohol is present at parties, there is no real pressure to drink, " said Todd Johnson '89. "The choice is yours. " Parties were a time to let loose and meet people. Most agreed they were an important part of high school social life . " Parties give high school students something to do aside from cruising the streets," said Kerry Rasmussen '86. "It's too bad there aren't more of them."

Large and Small Parties 11 • IN THE LATEST paisley prints, big sweaters, and jean minis, Cindy Holly, Kacie Hawkes and D'lynn Conner discuss weekend plans. assion for comfy fashion G one were body-hugging fashions of yesterday. Students donned anything from bold paisley prints and gigantic flower knits to faded denim and stretched-out tees. But whatever the fabric, the look was the same - loud, Jong, and loose! Oversized fashions seemed to be number one with most students. Out of 100 girls, 65 percent felt the bigger the style, the better. Large fashions ranged anywhere from V-neck sweaters that even Dad would have found too big, to huge printed shirts that hung down to the knees. 12 Student Life "Big clothes are more comfortable because they feel so cozy," said Maureen Liggett '86. "You feel like you're wearing your P .J. 's to school." Although these oversized styles may have been less of a hassle to put on, some students felt the craze was overdone. "When I see people swimming in big shirts down to their knees, that's where I draw the line," said Tami Tiller '87. But even for dressier occasions, big was in, as oversized blouses topped tight stirrup pants or bulky sweaters teamed up with tea-length skirts. "I think fashion this year is more classy that in past years, with the antique pins and big prints," ' said Cathleen Hurley '87. On the other hand, punk fashions lived on, contradicting dressier looks. "It's not only the clothes, it's the attitude that comes with punk," said Libby Campbell '86. "We are for peace, and even though we may listen to punk music and dress with spike bracelets, , we take our frustrations out on the music and style, not on the world." While girls were more fashion-minded, most guys opted for the same old Levi's, Nikes and t-shirts. PAISLEY AND PLAID.

" Besides not wanting to spend time or money on fashion, 71 percent of guys polled said they didn't like the latest in guys' clothing. "New fashions for guys like the Coca-Cola line seem too short-lived for my taste," said Matt Burke '86. Whether classy or cool, punk or comfy, students came to school with a big style all their own.

As sweat streamed down his body, dampening his shirt and shorts, he would sometimes wonder whether his efforts were worth the small satisfaction he would feel when he could finally reach his 300 pound goal. "C'mon! You can lift it! Push yourself! " his friend, John Cox '87 , would urge. SETTING THE PACE, Amy French gets ready for cross country by jogging six miles on the home track. And Miller would keep on, for he knew that each day he was coming closer to his goal. For 60 of 200 students polled, lifting was an important way to stay in shape. " Lifting gives me pride and makes me feel good about myself, " said Miller, who lifted three days a week for an hour. While some turned to weight sets ranging from $200 to $500, 7 4 of those polled turned to their old, rusty bike in the garage for a workout. Some tortured their bodies by riding to Glenwood twice a week, while others just casually paraded the streets. " Biking is the best way to stay in shape ," said Jeff Jerkovich '86, who usually rode six days a week. " On my bike I am the master. I can challenge myself to the fullest. " Although many students preferred improving their image in the great outdoors, 60 of 200 students enjoyed the atmosphere of a sweaty health club. Stretching, running, jumping, and hopping to the beat of fast paced music, brave aerobicists regularly strained arches, legs, stomachs, arms, and lungs because they knew the result would be less tension and more energy. Constantly, they would remind themselves that with no pain, thPrP. was no gain. Aerobics is a lot like jogging," said Stacey Woods '88. " It relaxes me . It's a fun way to stay in shape, but it's harder than it looks." No matter what activity students participated in, keeping in shape was important to most. "When I realized I could lose weight by exercising, I began doing everything under the sun," said Denise Sollazzo '87 . " I played soccer, jogged, and lifted weights. I lost weight and found myself feeling great. " In short, keeping in shape made a big difference in students' lives, resulting in gained energy, self-satisfaction, and a new outlook on themselves.

To his surprise, the first and second rows were marked with large intimidating "R's," and the third, fourth , fifth, and sixth rows were already full. With a sigh of disgust, he maneuvered his '66 Pontiac Le Mans into the single vacant spot at the back of the Jot, grabbed his books, and took off for first hour as the tardy bell pierced the morning air. "I'm late to school everyday," Holly said. "Most of the time I have to park on the ramp by the tennis courts and the bell rings before I make it to the building.''

With a larger student body, the hallwaY.S were mobbed with a multitude of giggling, gossiping, often obnoxious teens. In problem areas such as the bottlenecked intersection between the English wing and the new art wing, students had to dodge, shove, and plow through the mob, and more students than ever found themselves sliding into class as the bell rang. "Five minutes isn't enough time to fight your way through," said Maureen Liggett '86. Long lines also cut down on time for lunch. Starving stuGOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.

Seventy-seven out of 100 students polled said that lunch and ice cream lines were so long that inhaling food and sprinting back to class became a fourth hour routine. "I usually have 10 minutes to eat, but I rarely have enough time to eat a second lunch and get back to class on time," said James Hatcher '87. Students also complained that pep assemblies, cut down from an entire period to 15 to 30 minutes, were too short. "AL is improving in sports, and pep assemblies get students involved. How involved can you get in 15 minutes?" asked Gary Clouse '87. Frustrated honor students were also infuriated when new rules made roaming the halls and going to lockers impossible during a period. Working in the library, the student lounge, or a classroom was permissible, but students were dissatisfied. "My honor pass has become just a worthless piece of pink cardboard," said Jeremy Wilmarth '86. Although changes had a negative effect on the student body, many realized that in time, they would adapt. "It seems everyone is forgetting there are many benefits that come with change," said Scott Madsen '86. "I think that if we bear with the problems, we will soon see improvements." .... ·., RAP SESSION.

We didn ' t think about it much, but our days were filled to the brim with routines. Our first routine of the day was getting ready for school, and in a poll of 200 students, 68 percent said this took from 45 minutes to an hour. " I don't mind getting ready for school, because I want to look my best," said Lisa Koenig '89. " I try to wake up early enough so I can experiment with my hair and make-up. " Guys, however, didn't place as much importance on their looks and spent less time on this routine. " It is hard enough getting up at 6:30," said Todd Fox '87. "I can't imagine being a girl and having to get up at 5:30 just to curl my hair." Helping around the house and doing homework, though, were routines none could escape. Out of the students polled, 42 percent spent 10 to 25 minutes a day doing chores, while 21 percent spent an hour. "My parents insist that I take the trash out on Mondays," said Erin Lange '87. "I hate lugging three smelly bags of trash out, but the worst part is forgetting to do it until I'm almost to school, and having to go home again." BATTLING THE CAVITY CREEPS. Troy Cross brushes his teeth before school, a routine his dentist won't let him forget. Homework also was a routine that could not be ignored. Evenings filled with punctuation exercises, end-of-chapter questions, and theorem proofs became tedious. " My homework interferes with everything," said Steve Stubblefield '86. " I never get a break from it. " Unlike homework, some routines were enjoyable parts of our days. " I look forward to tennis practice," said Pat Leu '89. " I really like tennis, and I don't mind giving up afternoons to improve my game. " Working was a routine for many, but some jobs offered a variety of tasks to make time fly. MONEYWISE ROUTINE. Kim Chapman, Missy Pike, and Erin Sachs help a custome r at Burger King. Pike worked four days a week. " If I had to check the whole night, it would be really boring," said Penny Leu '8 7, " but since I also stock and price, time goes by fast." When homework, chores, and grumpy customers got students down, weekends helped them forget routines. " Weekends give me a chance to catch up on sleep, so unless I work, I don't wake up until noon," said Shary J udkins '87. "Then I just bum around, not bothering to do my hair or make-up." Like everything else we did again and again, weekends themselves became a routine, but a far more pleasant one than our week day hassles. A HAIR CURLING HASSLE. For Denise Ruffcorn, getting ready for school includes spending 20 minutes each morning curling her hair.

CERTIFICATES AND RIBBONS from country music contests hang on the wall behind John Wimmer as he fiddles in his home. otpourri of pastimes S tereo music filled the old warehouse that served as a makeshift gym where Denise Moats '86, coached excited 3-to-6-year olds in the execution of sommersaults, cartwheels, and skin-the-cats. Clad in nylon warm-ups, Moats instructed one tiny girl, "D o skin-the-cat, okay?" The frigid air in the gym didn't stop the wide-eyed 3-year old from kicking her legs up and over the uneven bars as Moats spotted her. " It gives me a lot of satisfaction knowing I'm teaching the kids to grow in a different way than their parents can provide," said Moats, who organized, managed , and served as head coach for Showcase Gymnastics in Glenwood. Moats was among several students who used their free time to participate in unique activities they considered just an ordinary part of their day to day lives. Ever since second grade, when she began sewing doll clothes, Tonya Jaussi '86, followed in the footsteps of her mother. "There were always scraps of material around the house and I was always encouraged to be creative," said Jaussi, who sewed eight to ten hours a week, mostly for displays at So-Fro Fabrics, where she worked. Although Jaussi rarely sold the clothes she made, Jill Tilley '88, made anywhere from $20 to $50 on each rabbit she raised for show. As if 18 rabbits weren't enough to care for morning and night, Tilley also rode her quarter horses every afternoon. Her two horses, Iron Lark and Two-Eyed Rock, won her a fourth place trophy last year in a show at Ak-sar-ben. Just as animals stole Tilley's heart, Britain's fabulous five, Duran Duran, stole the heart of Shelly Kromminga '87. The walls of her room were lined with more than 150 posters of the group, and Kromminga owned 22 records and tapes, six VCR cassettes, and 22 buttons, all featuring the group. Although Kromminga had never met Duran Duran, she said, "I feel like I know them. I've read so much I know everything about them." AL also had its own fabulous five - members of the fast rising band ESR, or Exit Stage Right. Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Carter Larson '86, teamed with David Tanous '86, to form the band. Adding Jeff Kraft '85, on bass guitar, James Holly '87 WITH EYES FOCUSED on the needle, Tonya Jaussi sews an applique for a display at So-Fr o Fabrics, where she worked. on keyboards, and Jamie Westphal '86, on percussion finally made the ESR lineup ready for action. The action began Jan. 4 at Murphy's Auction barn, where the band performed. Five hours of practicing every other night at one of the members' houses made this performance possible and earned the band $80 towards equipment and a demo tape to be sent to Polygram records. "The band is a hobby in a way, but really it's much more than that to us," said Westphal. Whether their spare time activity proved to be a money maker, an award winner, or an expression of individual taste or talent, many students found these activities broke the monotony of tests, time-clocks, and tension.

We yelled spiritedly at game after game. But despite such loyalty to the Lynx, most of us agreed school rivalries were no big deal. Jn fact, 110 out of 140 students polled said some of their closest friends attended other schools. "My boyfriend attending a different school doesn 't hurt our relationship ," said Sheri Fleming '87. "Since I don't go to school with him every day, I think we're closer because we aren't always looking over each other's shoulder."

The girls shared a dance class at Geri Hanson's Stu· dio. 22 Student Life cause it gave them a broader view of people. Although people tended to stereotype westenders as less intelligent and lower class, those who knew Tee Jay students disagreed. "Because I take dancing in the west end, I have a lot of Tee Jay people in my class, " said Amy French '88. "They are no different than AL kids." Pat Smith '86, said he came to appreciate Tee Jay students' strong points. " From talking to my Tee Jay friends, I think people at Tee Jay have even more pride in their school than we do," said Smith. "Tee Jay kids have too much pride in themselves and their school to ever tee pee it the way AL students do." "WE'RE GONNA KILL YOU!" J e n· nie Thompson t ells her cousin, Lisa Fourtney of Lewis Central, during halftime of the AL-LC basketball game, which was won by the Lynx. Even between friends, school pride could sometimes stand in the way of peaceful conversations. One would say, "Our yearbook and our newspaper are so much better than yours" and the other would retort, "Well, our volleyball team beat yours, so there!" "Sometimes friendly bantering about whose football team or band plays better occurs between me and a few friends who go to Lewis Central," said Sarah Markuson '88. " But the arguments are never serious." Yet despite inter-school friendships, 87 percent of the students polled said they continued to enjoy the excitement of fierce school rivalries. " I think school rivalries are healthy because they give you a chance to brag," said Kerry McKeown '89 . " At games against our three city rivals, I have more fun because the energy level is really high in players and fans." So chances were we would go right on yelling insults like, " Lynx gonna set the pace , gonna crack your face!" and we would love every minute of it. Yet, the rivalrous spirit that raised excitement and energy on game night was soon forgotten outside the stadium, where friendships became more important than cracking a crosstown rival.

She glanced at the misty field and was disappointed with the small scattering of fired-up fans. The drizzly weather may have discouraged many supporters from attending the game, but the sizzling pep and spirit they had displayed throughout the week compensated for their absence Friday night. This crazy spirit had swept through the halls when a multitude of cleverly clad students entered the school Thursday morning for Nerd Day. Girls adorned in gaudy jewelry, clashing prints, and hornrimmed glasses scuttled to the bathroom to adjust barrettes in their ratted hair, while groups of boys compared their polyester EVERY HAIR IN PLACE. Scott Nielsen checks his appearance before posing for his picture. For the first time, student council hired a photographer to take Homecoming pictures. 24 Student Life "It was great how the crazy mood affected everyone, even the teachers," said Dionne Wallace '86. "Mrs. Wahl looked hilarious in a flowery hat, mismatched dress, and huge wooden shoes." This same kind of energy continued to spark long after school was dismissed at 3:05. Spirit flared when 40 cars congregated in Taco John's parking lot for the car rally, whe re throngs of students scurried to tie red and blue crepe paper, signs, and multicolored balloons to their cars before driving down Broadway. After the car rally, approximately 500 people gathered at Bayliss Park for the legs contest and a pep rally. The park filled with a tingling excitement as the smell of carameled apples and sounds of wild laughter and cheers wafted through the air. Students consumed by this spirit screamed with the cheerleaders during the pep rally and bebopped to the music during the street dance. Such spirit lingered with the football players, who exploded to take their second consecutive victory, capsizing Ralston 10-7. "They outsized us and we had to overcome the wet, sloppy field," said Carter Larson '86. "But because of our will to win, the turnout of the game didn't come as a surprise to us." At half-time, the rain cleared in time for the crowning of Wendy Machmuller '86, as Homecoming queen. Saturday night's dance proved to be an extraordinary finale to the week. Streamers and balloons cascad~d from the gym ceiling and walls while approximately 1000 perspiring and breathless students lived up to the theme "And We Danced." " I've never seen so many people crammed into the gym before . My friends and I had a blast," said Lisa Wilson '87. "We didn't stop dancing until the music stopped. I've never had more fun or been more exhausted." To insure that this Homecoming Dance was never forgotten , student council members hired a photographer to take pictures for the first time. " This dance was my favorite because I'll be able to look at the pictures of my date and me and remember how special my senior Homecoming was," said Erlinda Mendoza '86. Whether adorned in costumes or cheering on the football team in the rain, students strived to make Homecoming week spirited and memorable.

"The practices went great. Everyone worked extremely hard," said Lee Spann, music director. "They continua lly tried to improve. The leads had more than 80 hours of scheduled practices. " The production was not probl em fre e, though. Two weeks before the musical was to open, the cast lost a lead and its director. But even those setbacks didn't deter the cast. When director Steve Brockway had to go into the hospital, retired Tee Jay teacher R.H. Fanciers was convinced within days to take Brockway's place. When Brian Wyant '87, quit the cast for academic reasons, Mark Demarais '87, who was double cast for another role, took the lead role of Horace Vandergelder, with only 12 days to learn the lines. "Because I was part of the cast and familiar with the part, it wasn't hard to learn the lines," said Demarais. But according to members of the audience, a talented cast was not the only factor contributing to the huge success of He/. lo, Dolly. " The fancy costumes and the authentic-looking sets made the play a lot better," said Paula Dix '87. "The Harmonia Garden set really caught my attention." To complete the sets, 100 people, each working about two hours a day, took eight weeks to finish construction, according to Brockway. "Three of us were assigned crews to work on different projects. My crew covered the orchestra pit," said Candy Minor '87. " We didn 't have any drawn up plans, just Mr. Brockway' s instructions. " A GRAND ENTRANCE. Port rayed by Susan Schultz, Dolly stuns head waiter Mike Phillips upon entering Harmonia Gardens. Behind them is a massive 20 x 12 foot set, designed especially for t his scene.

Each cast member paid $20 toward costume rental, while pro· duction profits paid the rest.

To make their dreams come true, club members labored from 8 to 5 on the day of the dance, filling balloons, trimming trees, and decking the stage with holly. The hours of labor and $1200 spent seemed worthwhile as couples praised the atmosphere. "I helped set up the gym for Homecoming, but I've never seen anything like this! The balloon arches are impressive," said Todd Woods '86. But unfortunately, the atmosphere went all but unnoticed by late arriving students who waited up to an hour in the brightly lit balcony to have pictures taken. Because the photographer had not expected 400 couples to attend, the picture line robbed dancers of precious minutes. "When we arrived there was a huge line for pictures. I'm a dancin' man, and I only got to dance to three or four songs," said James Holly '87. But for those who arrived early, the evening was a success. Many students expressed their WITH HANDS FL YIN', Durand Compton, Tris Ranney, and Robben Quigley freak to a song by Prince.

A high point came when a few crazed upperclassmen jumped on stage and jammed on air guitars to the music of Soundsational, just before seniors Craig Tracy and Kim Holl y were crowned prince and princess. For some, this dance would be remembered as their most expensive hour of waiting in line for pictures, but for most, Christmas Dance '85 was a night to let loose and "Rock Around the Christmas Tree."

The five days included Red and Green Day, Christmas Music Day (played over the intercom between classes), Christmas Card Exchange Day, Christmas Character Day (students dressed as their favorite Christmas character), and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Dance Day (students dressed in nightgowns). "I wish more people would have dressed up because it shows great school spirit and Christmas spirit, too," said Anna Jorgensen '87, who came to school wearing antlers on Christmas Character Day. "The event let us get a little weird before vacation." Even the administration's rule forbidding Christmas parties "unless they served an educational purpose" didn't dampen spirits in classes which went ahead with party plans. "In cosmetology we had a gift exchange and everyone brought snacks," said Roxanne Tiedemann '86. "We got to bring our little brothers or sis· ters, so I brought my nephew, Dougie." But amidst the seasonal bliss at school, Christmas Day still caught people off guard. "I did all my shopping on the twenty-third when everyone else decided to do theirs," said Maureen Ligget '86. "It was so busy everywhere because we got out of school so late and we had only two days to shop after all the rush before Christmas Dance." With presentations, parties, gifts, and the traditional Yuletide bustle making spirits bright, students found them· selves wrapped up in a merry week which left Scrooges and Grinches out in the cold.

Others who liked to spend money to get out of town, but did not want to spend the day with 60,000 people, found an alternative - they got friends together for a shopping trip, but not to good ol' Midlands Mall. One such trip took place when Candi Moore '88, and friends took that out-of -the-way trip to Lincoln. " I was getting bored with the Mall, so we decided this would be an exciting trip, " said Moore, " and we had so much fun because of the different stores and new faces. ,, Special weekends also took place close to home. Couples found Omaha, with its Old Market and wild atmosphere, to be the perfect setting for that spe· cial date. One such occasion was the evening Taryn Bixler '87, treated her steady, Shawn Hubbard, to a night on the town. " I took him to Spaghetti Works for supper, and he even agreed to go on a horse and buggy ride with me. What made it so much fun was that he didn't know what was going on or what would happen next," said Bixler. Students agreed that even though special weekends might be expensive, or require hours of travel, the big times that re· suited made the routine of the school year bearable. HEADED FOR HAWAII.

But for many couples, Prom 1986 held surprises in store - some pleasant, some not. Instead of a quiet, romantic experience, dining became a crack up when 11 couples ate together at Omaha 's most elegant Maxine's. "Dinner was super funny because we were surrounded by people who were quiet and composed. We couldn't help going into hysterics when the waiter spent the whole night peppering our salads with a bazooka-sized pepper shaker and refilling our pop every two min· utes," said Amy Lemen '86.

After blindfolding his date, Heather Jacob of Millard North, at her home and driving for blocks, he led her to the door of their "restaurant." Once inside, she followed the lead of her trustworthy date and listened to their waiter, really Beck's brother, mumble choices for dinner in Italian. After meandering their way through the maze , Beck and Jacob found the end ... a candle· light dinner for two in a small room cluttered with decorations to resemble Venice. " I wanted the night to be special. My brother had just returned from Italy, so I had all the decorations. I just had to find a place to do it. I decided on the church because that's where we met," said Beck. After dinner, couples hurried off to the UNO Ballroom for pictures and dancing. But the picture line changed from past years, as friends wait· ed to pose in groups of girls revealing lacy garters and guys pretending to be drunks. While some had pictures taken to remember that night, others had unforgettable experiences. "By the end of the dance, my date and I were a mess!" said Melanie Johnson '86. "He had ripped out the seat of his pants by accidentally kicking my best friend in the chin, and the metal supports of my hoop were pointing out everywhere . James' ripped pants, Debbie's bloody chin, and' my trashed hoop made the night more memorable." Although Johnson's formal wear gave her trouble , others found it to be no hinderance. "We drove a Lincoln Town Car with a sun roof to Prom, and on the way back from Omaha, my date crawled through the roof and sat on the top of the car for blocks, " said Steve Jensen '88. After the dance, couples headed for dinner, the post Prom party, or hotel parties. From as early as 5 a.m. to as late as 3 p.m. the next day, students headed home to catch up on sleep they had missed. And as their heads hit their pillows, students smiled, knowing they'd never forget that crazy night when they should have expected the unexpe cted.

But there was just one difference - we had no tears. Sure there were a few here and there - when we saw that special teacher, or hugged a best friend - but the Class of '86 had little remorse . Together we had struggled through a new administration's policies, 300 new freshmen faces, and to top it all off, a graduation date scheduled two weeks late r than any past commencement. So instead of feeling sadness over closing a chapter in our lives, we felt the relief of surviving it all. We looked forward to the excitement of a new beginning. Excitement filled the warm night air June 2, as we filed into the small gym, murmuring to one another, " I thought we'd never make it," and " I'm glad it's over. " After we settled into our neat rows, Don Scheibeler, English teacher, assured us, "The faculty really did like having you here and we'll miss this spunky class." As our class song, "Don't You Forget About Me" was played, some of us sang, some clapped to the beat, and after four tries, the boys vented some energy by performing the wave. Finally, we marched out, one by one, each girl accepting a white silk rose and an escort's arm. Soon, each couple reached the threshold of the gym, where they were nudged by instructors Don Whyte and Carol Tiller into a fieldhouse full of proude ye d parents, family , and friends. Underneath our feet lay new blue carpet paid for by our class, in front of us stood channel 1 7 cameras, and above us lofted the majestic melody of "Pomp and Circumstance." But the awarding of diplomas was anything but solemn, as the crowd whooped and hollered when each senior had his moment of glory. Laughter erupted everywhere when Senior Class president Craig Tracy bent at his knee and placed a light kiss on the hand of school board member Jo Anne Carrithers when he received his diploma. At long last, we could almost hear a drumroll as Tracy motioned to turn our tassles, and like one big volcano, rice exploded from 292 hands. Just as people throw rice at weddings to mark the beginning of a couple's new life, we threw it to mark the beginning of our new lives away from the security of school and home. We left that night not happy to say goodbye, but confident we could go on and face new and exciting challenges with our memories of AL carefully tucked away in a little blue diploma book.

After adding fresh talent and a better sound from nearly tripling its enrollment, the band marched to State competition and grabbed a Division 1 rating. "Having three times more band members created a great attitude and a lot more morale for State," said Brian Wyant '87. · The Echoes won 15 first place and 30 other awards locally, state, and nationwide, including first in the nation in newswriting and UNO's Best Newspaper Award for the metro area. Advanced chemists also received recognition as two teams placed first in the solution/ dilution lab and third in balancing equations at Creighton's Chemistry Field Day. "It's rewarding to receive recognition for what our brains do and not just our bodies," said Steve Stubblefield '86. Rewards also abounded in brand new honors English classes, where top students developed creativity and independence through completing special projects such as autobiography boards, time capsules, and homemade dictionaries.

Students were asked to write a short book and read it to a group of children to become better experienced in public relations. " We were nervous about how the kids would react, " said Lori Barritt '87, "but they were enthusiastic about my story, which made the eight hours of preparing it worth the extra effort."

Teachers in the new courses reached for one goal not stressed in other English classes: they encouraged students to develop creativity and independence. " When we were assigned to do an interview, we were expected to budget our time, write questions, walk to the interview, and prepare results on our own," said Tracy Machmuller '87. "We weren't reminded daily or led through it step by step." Although students were assigned to write ballads, research papers, poetry, and oral reports, the monotony of classwork was broken by field trips and special projects. The fun began as students boarded the bus for a trip to Joslyn Museum, which included lunch at Flakey Jakes or Spaghetti Works and a stop at the Family Fun Center. While at Joslyn, students saw performances of " Life on the Mississippi" by Mark Twain and of three Poe short stories. " Visiting Joslyn was a great way to study literature," said Mindy Abel '89, "and it gave us a break from the daily classroom routine ." The fun continued as teachers assigned autobiography boards, homemade dictionaries, time capsules, and newspapers, which made individual personalities shine. Freshmen admitted that cutting, pasting, and deciding which pieces of their lives to FOLLOWING IN WEBSTER'S FOOTSTEPS, Mi· chelle Frick and Katie Linberg get their turn t o present homemade d ictionaries of words from t h e literature they wer e reading in J acque Hall's freshman honors English class. include on their autobiography boards were time consuming but rewarding tasks. "The boards included pictures, poems, and paragraphs we wrote about things special to us, " said Richard Streepy '89. " It took work, but the final product gave me a sense of self-satisfaction." Working on vocabulary also became a special treat for freshmen when they were assigned to write their own dictionary. "We used words from short stories we studied," said Kerry McKeown '89. " It was fun because we could define them in our own words, use them in sentences, draw the definitions, or pantomime them for the class." Working on a collection of creative writings for a time capsule let sophomores show their creativity as they wrote paragraphs about a historical person they would like to meet, a recent event that could affect the future , the dreams they would buy if dreams were for sale, and a letter to themselves about the things they wouldn't want to forget when they become a parent. After completing the pieces, they stuffed them into a container and wrapped them for storage at home until they could be opened in 1996. "Maybe you want to wrap them for a Christmas gift to yourself in 1995 or to use in celebrating New Year's Day 1996," Victoria Holder told her students. Just as Holder's class wrapped up their time capsules, honors students wrapped up the school year, realizing that English doesn't have to be all work and no play. " ON GUARD!" Jim Vaught and J.V. Zontelly show off the ir fencing skills as Scott Parks judges t heir performance as part of their study of King Arthur's legends in JoAnn Barcus' tent h grade English class. English 41 ~hey go foreign all the way "I n France a meal doesn't just consist of putting food in your mouth. It's a form of communication . .. an occasion, " said French instructor L'loise Bowman. French Club members took part in such an occasion Saturday, Dec. 12 as they enjoyed an eight-course meal and practiced French conversation skills. "There was an advanced student or visitor speaking fluent French at every table," said Gretchen Johnson '88. "It reminded me that French is a language surrounded by an entirely unique culture." Such activities were one way the foreign language department tried to create more interest in languages and encourage out-ofclass use of the languages. "Once the students leave the classroom, they don't hear the language, so we have to do everything we can to encourage it," said Thomas Lara, Spanish instructor. "Mastering a language is difficult without hours of exposure, which is hard to achieve in a high school environment." Foreign language clubs were the best way to counteract the problem. "When you're initiated into the German Club, you can speak only German for the first half hour," said Greg Jerrett '86. "That wasn't easy, but when I stopped to think, I could find a way to express myself." Even in class, foreign language teachers kept students interested by devising creative activities to increase students' recognition of the languages. Translating German magazines, playing French board games, and listening to Spanish Christmas music all helped. "Between German scrabble, Muehle (a mix of checkers and chess), and translatedowns, German class was never boring,'' said Priscilla Leu '89. "We learned from these activities as well as from the homework assignments." Whether students expressed themselves in Spanish, French, German, or Latin, they seemed to agree that a foreign language class opened the door to a new world. "IS THAT A WORD?" asks Pam Huebner as she plays scrabble with Vicki Fuller, Michelle Hetrick, a nd Shelly Kromminga as part of German class. Students re ce ived grades based on t he number of German words t hey could form. 42 Clubs & Classes FRENCH CLUB. FRONT ROW: Angel Minor. Debbie Dolezal, Peggy Streepy. Mindy Hoffman.

"You know, this music really is great," said Rocheleau, alias Tripp, as she strolled around the room listening to Christian rock on a walkman and carrying a Bible. "By the way, do my socks match?" she said as she checked over her outfit. "Will someone please listen to me!?!" screamed Markussen, as she played a frustrated student trying to read her speech to her preoccupied teachers. The success of the skit was a relief to Brewer, for she had hurriedly put together the dialogue. "Mrs. Grandick asked us to do a skit, so we threw it together, making fun of them in a good hearted manner.

"When we go to tournaments, I enjoy getting out early every Friday and meeting new people, " said Julie Shomshor '87. Shomshor and her debate partner, Heidi Hamilton, won first place at Ralston and broke for quarter finals at Millard South when they debated. Drama students weren't as satisfied with their accomplishments. Because director Steve Brockway had major surgery and was absent part of the year, the spring musical and Roadshow were cancelled, and students felt cheated in the classroom. "Our substitute was a dancer. We're here to learn acting methods, but instead, we danced, " said Mike Phillips '86. But when Brockway returned, he was full of new ideas, creating one acts to substitute for big productions. Instead of using the whole auditorium, one acts made use of the recently enlarged stage by turning it around , putting chairs to the back of the stage, and having the students perform with their backs to the auditorium. " One acts cut costs by a third . This will save money for future productions, which we will have once a month eventually," said Brockway . CONGRATULATIONS.

The only explanation ... the darkroom troll had struck again. Something always seemed to be going wrong for the photographers of the newspaper and yearbook staffs. "We didn't have one experienced photographer, and it takes time to learn how to organize negatives and take and process photos properly," said adviser Linda Smoley. When pictures didn't turn out or weren't ready on time, everyone on the staff was affected. "People put off doing copy because they didn't have pictures and couldn't meet deadlines anyway, so they got further and further behind, and it was hard to get out of that rut," said Sarah Smock '87. "We could have met deadlines had we accepted more poor quality pictures, but we weren't often willing to lower standards." Tb bring the st ff out of th poor pictur rut, editors on both staffs began taking pictures. " We never would 've made yearbook deadlines if two of the editors hadn't taken the picture problem into their own hands," said Laura Laubenthal '86.

"The newspaper staff was just super," said Mrs. Smoley. " It was really a joy to see them apply what they had learned and come out with a beautiful product." But turning out a fantastic product sometimes required staffers to act quickly before the paper reached its readers. "As I left the printer with our Christmas edition, a sickening feeling came over me," said Amy Lemen '86. "My heart sank to my feet as I realized I'd forgotten to get the photo poll question at the typesetter and put it on the right page." It was not the end of the world, however. Staffers came up with the idea of a rubber stamp. After sweet talking several businesses, they had one made in just a few hours and spent the next 24 hours furiously stamping the question on 900 copies of the paper. Newspaper staffers' talent was rewarded when the Echoes won its fourth consecutive ~t9 tg writing sweepstakes and was named the best newspaper in the Metro for the second year in a row. Mike Hartfield '86, also distinguished the paper when he garnered two national first places in writing. Overall, the two publications won 73 local state, and national awards in writing, design: and photography. "Even though the yearbook has had its share of problems, it's still going to be a good book," said Kari McClure '86, mini-mag editor. "Besides, now we know to always have someone on troll patrol."

Newspaper, Yearbook 47 Responsibility flourishes when artists freewheel A fter spending nearly 25 hours in the dark, Jolie Schmoker· '87, thought to herself, " I've finally got it! " A student in photography, Schmoker printed and reprinted more than 15 times a picture she had taken of the Black Angel, using her independent study time to burn in details of the angel's features and to dodge the front of its chest. Schmoker's hard work finally paid off and won her first prize for black and white photography in the Annual Art Show. "Even after I spent all that time on the picture, it was never quite perfect. I never expected to win first," said Schmoker. " But now, when I look back at all the work I put into it, I think I deserved the recognition." The independent study program that Schmoker worked in stressed minimum help from instructors and gave students freedom to choose projects they were interested in. "The thing I like about independent study is getting to do what I want whenever I want to," said Curt Tucker '87. " One day I can airbrush, and the next day I can work on pottery. It's a change to not always be told what to do." Working on art became more pleasant than ever with the department's move to the new wing, where rooms were brighter and provided more storage space. The year culminated with the May art show at Midlands Mall, where Lynx artits grabbed 64 ribbons.

"What makes my ribbons even more special is that this is my last year to enter. " Other big winners in the show were Michelle Ross '86, Reserve Grand Champion in the three dimensional category, and Curt Tucker, who won six awards in a variety of divisions. Like art students, media students developed independence. "This class showed me the basic skills of media production and I enjoyed the work we did," said Bill Engel '87. "But most importantly, I learned to be responsible because I did my work as an individual without Mr. Cairns always there." Altogether, media students finished more than 700 bulletin boards, 3200 slides, 4000 posters, and 900 hours of videotaping. Senior media students, called satellites, went to nearby schools, took all requests for media needs, completed the orders, and then delivered them to the schools. They were paid $3.20 an hour for up to 25 hours a week. " Being a satellite is a good way to meet new people," said ~bb e Hahn '86, satellite to Pusey, Peterson, and Longfellow.

"Shelly and I tried to make it as crazy as possible, using colored pencils to make her hair aqua, yellow and purple, and her face green and orange," said Clinton. Clinton and Krominga's crazy creation inadvertently got put with other art, and when looking for entries in the art show, Holmes came across it and decided to en· ter it as a different twist. ClintoFJ was stunned when she learned the picture won first in the 20 section. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO COLOR MY HAIR AQUA?"

Art Media 49 M umbo jumbo jitters give way to successes A s more than 250 students opened doors to advanced courses, they opened doors to new worlds, many of which seemed unconquerable. The Iowa Math and Science Grant was one of the main reasons a record number of students enrolled in advanced courses, especially after state legislators, trying desperately to save bucks in Iowa's budget, voted to add yet another semester's requirement to eligibility for the grant. Most students were not sorry for their exposure, even after the financially strapped legislature totally cut the math and science grant from the state budget. Students came into the year expecting the work to be somewhat similar to what they had done in the past, but they often became panic-stricken when an unfamiliar language blanketed the board. "The first few days of Advanced Chem. were shocking! I didn't expect a simple class, but I thought the course would be taught in English," said Kristi Holcomb '86. But the foreign languages soon became comprehensible as students began to see the light, and the compounds, theorems, formulas, and variables began to fall into place. " I felt great when I began to understand Advanced Physics! I knew most of the languages, but applying them to the new concepts made them seem like I'd never seen them before," said Steve Stubblefield '86. Overall, students found that math and sciFRUSTRATED WITH HIS CALCULUS ASSIGNMENT, Todd Fox attempts to solve story problems.

"In calculus, whenever I had a problem, Mr. Miller could see it written all over my face. Right then he'd stop and go through the entire problem if I needed it," said Jeff Lapel '87. The two Advanced Chemistry teachers, Dennis Schmoker and Chris Fink, had a different way of going that extra mile. They joined together to team teach and gave students two explanations of many concepts. While teachers went above and beyond the call of duty, students were kept busy doing the same. Many accelerated students didn't stop after one advanced course, but usually juggled three or four. Assignments seemed to steal even the hint of spare time, but students knew they were a necessity to understand the subject. "At first I thought I'd never understand differentiation in calculus, and I dreaded wondering what came next, but when I finally figured it out, I was jubilant! For a few days, I forgot about the tough road I still had to hoe," said Rick Reimer '86. Advanced math and science courses were entered by scared and unsure students, but students left them feeling inspired and confident that they were one step ahead of other college bound students.

Two of these were a bronzed bunsen burner and a toy bulldozer to destroy old scratched up lab tables. The highlight of the party was the presentation of a personalized lab coat on which hand sewn letters of sequins spelled out " Big Guy" and a dollar sign. "Besides the excuse to have a party, we wanted to show our appreciation," said Scott Larsen '86. "Mr. Schmoker could have gone on to be anything and earn much more money, but he stayed back to help others excel. We just wanted to say thanks." SCIENCE CLUB.

Under a revised curriculum, juniors could enroll for the first time in DECA, and even students not involved in the cooperative work program could take the class. Coordinator Roger Pearson worked strenuously to make this change so that the principles taught in DECA could reach more students. In addition to studying marketing, merchandising, and advertising, those students gained consumer awareness. "As a class project, we had to try to sell Mr. Pearson a product," said Jill Vallier '86. "I had to sell him a walkman and watching him roleplay making the decision to buy helped me to know what things to look for when I'm buying." Those involved in the DECA coop program also liked the way the class helped them with their jobs. "DECA helps me to learn how to treat my customers," said Debbie Spencer '86. " and I get really good ideas for starting a business of my own someday." In addition to the curriculum change, the DECA program improved when Kallie Mendenhall '86, was chosen as a state officer. "It was great to win. I have a lot of responsibilies," said Mendenhall, who was in charge of DECA public relations, Area 4, evaluations at the state conference, a state and area newsletter, and the chairmanship of the area conference . In addition to DECA changes, the business department improved when it moved into new rooms on the second floor of the new wing and soon added brand new furniture to all the rooms. "The L-shaped desks and swivel chairs help create more of an office atmosphere," said Pam Ziebarth, business teacher. Teachers and students alike enjoyed the new unity of the department. "I remember last year having almost all business classes and having to run all over the school," said Michelle Griffis '86. "This year, though, it's really convenient to have all the classes right next to each other." Deca, Business 53 WILL IT ST A Y?

Clothes never entered the minds of Matt Burke '86, and Peter Church '86, as they placed the 80 crisp green bills into the hands of an employee at Sutherlands Lumber. Instead, they entertained thoughts of multi·colored paints, table carpet, drawer handles, and wood siding. With great care, they divided their pur· chases among their classmates in the Advanced Electronics class, who then transformed the dull electronics room into a colorful, comfortable classroom. Each bland, gray bench and set of drawers were painted a different color until the room became a bright kaleidoscope of colors. "Since we've been together for three years, we wanted to leave our mark and be remembered," said Church. "We also wanted to show our appreciation to Mr. Boylan for his commitment to making us learn even when we didn't want to." 54 Clubs & Classes INTERIOR DESIGNERS Matt Burke and Peter Church touch up their personal electronics benches. For several days, the Advanced Elec· tronics students put their studies aside to transform the room into a colorful, relaxed learning atmosphere. U raftsmen, craftsmen get the jump on jobs For 10 weeks, Chris Rector '86, carefully sketched intricate plans of a two story house, fully equipped with an outdoor pool and a bubbling jacuzzi. Gradually, his pencil shaped the exact contours of the landscape, including every bush and tree and a quaint pond with a sprawling fountain. "It's exciting to draw plans for a house I may build for myself someday," said Rector. "The experience I'm getting through Advanced Drafting is extremely worthwhile because I plan to pursue a career in architecture." Like Rector, most students felt the experience they attained through advanced industrial arts courses helped to prepare them for a career. Advanced Woods students, for example, prepared themselves for a job by learning to work independently. While the whirring of drills reverberated through the hall and clouds of sawdust gathered in the air of the woods room, Cary Elliot '86, excitedly hammered the last nail into the second stereo speaker he built for his project. " It gave me so much self-satisfaction when I plugged in the speakers and they worked," said Elliot. " I know a future job will require that I rely on my own abilities. Accomplishing that project independently showed me that I will be able to survive in the working world."

Advance d Woods students completed various projects like gun racks, cabi· nets, and tables. Students who desired the same type of preparation but wished to pursue knowledge outside the confines of the classroom enrolled in the Career Center and Trades and Industries programs. At the Career Center, students could concentrate on welding, heating and air conditioning, or carpentry. Every day, approximately 25 of them traveled to the construction sight of the Browning Ferris Building, where they polished their carpentry skills constructing the office building. " My background at the Career Center has given me invaluable security," said Tim Christensen '86. ''I'll always know in the back of my mind that I can fall back on the knowledge and experience I gained this year in case a future job doesn't go well." One hundred students who wanted actual on-the-job training got it through working at a local business in the Trades and Industry program. For three hours every afternoon, J enny Krutzfeldt '86, carefully prepared food trays for patients at Mercy Hospital. "My job at Mercy has oriented me to the way businesses work," said Krutzfeldt. " It's also instilled responsibility in me. I have to serve diabetics, so I have to be extra careful to give the correct diet to the right patient. " Whether gaining experience through actual jobs or learning responsibility by completing projects, industrial arts students discovered the tribulations and satisfactions of the working world.

We prepared T hey started with 150 chicken breasts and potatoes and 6 gallons of green beans. What they came up with was a dinner fit for kings, or at least for National Honor Society and Hall of Fame inductees. The 12 students in the Advanced Foods class were a little uncertain about what would happen when instructor Jean Coffey told them they would be preparing a dinner for approximately 150 people. First, Scott Moore '86, and Scott Geer '86, found themselves stuck in front of the sink for almost an hour to wash the dirt off each and every potato. "It seemed to take forever. We stood there cussing under our breath as we scrubbed every speck of dirt off of them," said Geer. " After all our work, we didn't even get to eat one. " Overcooked chicken almost turned the dinner fit for kings into a fiasco, but quick thinking on the part of instructor Patti Ford and Moore saved the dinner. " When we found out we had overcooked the chicken, we were shocked. We couldn't serve it dry," said Moore, "so we quickly threw together a gravy to pour over it and hoped for the best.

DRESSED IN A TUX for his farewell party, student teacher Jim Swanson talks with Pam Huebner. Swanson, who kept a journal since age 13, made psych students keep one. \' retending teaches big kids lots about life hatever is said during class "W will not leave this room," Patty Ford, home economics teacher, told her Family Living class at the beginning of the semester. Little did students know that in a few days, they would open up during class and talk about their attitudes and involvement in drugs and alcohol, sexual relationships, and family problems. "Peer pressure to take drugs or have sex were often discussed ," said Denise Ruffcorn '86. "It made you feel better to know you weren't the only one with problems." Videos on sensitive subjects such as suicide, alcohol, and family troubles were often used to spawn the discussions. "We watched a movie called the Burning Bed, in which a woman's husband abused her until she killed him," said Angie Warner '86. " It made a lot of us cry. It was strange that even though she had murdered her husband, we were all on her side." Family Living was only one of several home economics and social studies classes which used frank discussions or role-playing techniques to teach students the practical arts of relating to others and making wise decisions. Roger Kuhl, American Government teacher, tried to help his students make the decision to vote by bringing a voting booth to his class and holding a mock election, so students would feel comfortable with the voting proce- <lure . "I think it was a good idea to have us use real voting booths for a pretend election," said Ronni Shaw '87. " It taught us how to use them, which is something most of us had no idea how to do." SMILES ADORN THE FACES of egg babies Brian and Matthew and parents Jackie Phillips and Chris Reed, who sit outside comparing parenting notes for Understanding People class. The Understanding People class tried to make students more aware of certain responsibilities within the family, such as keeping a budget and caring for a child. '.'When we carried around eggs that were supposed to be our babies for two weeks, I realized that I'm not responsible enough to have a child yet," said Scott Watson '87. " During the role playing, I had to change jobs so that I wouldn't go bankrupt. I learned that being out on your own isn't all fun. It's sometimes hard .work." Child Care class also simulated the parentchild relationship. Students were to pretend they were pregnant and keep a journal froJTI the day they found out about the pregnancy until after the child was born. "Keeping a journal helped me understand how a child develops," said Lisa Christiansen '87. " It also made me realize that people should make sure they are ready emotionally, physically, and financially before deciding to have children." Teen's Today, a new course offered by the home economics department, taught students how to make decisions and build sound relationships during adolescence. They read chapters and then answered questions, which were often used for class discussions. "Teen's Today taught me to think before I make decisions, which has helped me make more intelligent choices," said Scott Gilbert '88. " It has also helped me realize the importance of communicating with other people in order to get along." Students who took home economics and social studies classes learned practical skills they would use daily in making choices and building relationships.

As a result of closing Rose Kennedy, a school for the mentally retarded, instructor Teresa Herman and two severely retarded students were transferred to AL. The move meant a new room, complete with a kitchen, washer, dryer, and shower, and mainstreaming the students with others close to their age. "The exposure was beneficial to both the handicapped and the non-handicapped," said Herman. Students with at least average !Q's who suffered from learning disabilities also moved in the fall, from rooms scattered across the building to a suite of five rooms in the new wing, where teachers could share ideas and computer programs, and centralize their filing system. Meanwhile, mentally handicapped students were based downstairs, cooking two days a week, throwing occasional parties, and working at the Vocational Development Center (VODEC). At VODEC, students put together hair care products, packaged stick-on labels, and fixed extending shelf connectors to earn a proportional wage. In addition, they took field trips to Midlands Mall and Brunswick Bowling Alley, where the.y learned about making purchases and counting change. · "We strive to teach these kids to fit into society," said instructor Nancy Pistello. Another learning experience for the mentally handicapped was adaptive PE. Instructor Mike Batten and senior aides Debbie Brown and Debbie Hahn taught weight training for strength, and games such as whiffle ball and soccer for coordination and endurance. On April 23, the training was put to the test at the Special Olympics, where students won six ribbons. "The kids had no confidence at all going into the Special Olympics," said Brown. " You can't imagine how it felt when they broke that ribbon or placed second or third and hugged me. It was like a big bubble bursting inside of me." 58 Clubs and Classes WITH SATISFACTION, Lisa Snipes enjoys a meal during fifth hour which she and other students had prepared for several days.

And as Nancy Pistello's mentally handicapped class decorated the room, baked cookies and a cake, and wrapped tiny presents for George Hodge's graduation party, the practical side of freedom was on their minds. Taking into consideration that Hodge was finally going out on his own after 14 years of school, the class purchased small everyday gifts that he would need, such as shaving cream, after shave, shampoo, soap, and toothpaste. And when all of the gifts were opened, the gleam in Hodge's eyes proved it's the little things in life that mean a lot. AFTER UNWRAPPING TWO BOXES, George Hodge finally gets to the gift as instructor Nancy Pistello laughs at her joke. ONLY TWO BOWLS TO GO.

Special Education 59 S ingers join as one for fame'n'fun S ieepy swing choir members bumbled quietly aboard the bus to Maryville in the 7 a.m. darkness. As the bus rolled along Interstate 29 toward Rockport, sleepy bodies began to rouse. While a poker game captured the attention of half a dozen gamblers in the back of the bus, others listened to songs from the Big Chill and whispered about their chances for a victory that afternoon and the fantastic time they would have once they reached the Abbey outside Maryville, Mo. When the bus pulled up to the Johnson Center for Performing Arts in Maryville, girls scrambled from the bus to do some last-minute primping before joining the group gathered in the corridor for a final pep talk from choir director Lee Spann. After a moment of silence, the choir members rushed to their places on stage and began their repertoire for the judges at the Northwest Missouri State University Swing Choir Contest. " During the performance, we concentrated all of our energy toward doing a perfect job," said Kari McClure '86, " Mr. Spann's pep talk really fired us up to do our best by giving us that extra boost of confidence which we needed to perfect our pe_r f ormance. " Following the contest, butterflies fluttered in their tummies as swing choir members nervously waited for the judges to announce the winners. When New Design members finally learned they' cl taken third spirits soared. "The competition was really tough," said McClure. "The group that took first place looked just like a Broadway show. Even their stage hands had matching outfits. With competition like that, taking third was really an accomplishment." After the contest, it was time for fun . Choir members had been awaiting their stay at the Abbey for weeks. "The Maryville trip is always a blast! (continued on page 63) ANYTHING FOR A SMILE.

We blushed "D arling, I love you . . . please smile," crooned Laurie Milford '87, as she perched on Scott Pleake's knee at the swing choir Christmas Party. " Darling, I love you" was a game which started with a girl sitting on a boy's lap saying "Darling I love you ... please smile." The player could do almost anything to get her victim to smile. He had to reply, " Darling, I love you ... but I just can't smile," three times without cracking a smile or risk having to take her place and repeat the actions on another person's lap. "It was a great game for our group because we're all close so no one got too embarrassed," said Tonya Jaussi '86. Even more embarrassing than "Darling, I love you" was the gift exchange which brought a rosy glow to several singers' cheeks. "We exchanged gifts with our partners. My partner gave me a wild pair of undies! I about died whe11 I unwrapped them, " said Kari McClure '86.

Usually we end up getting little sleep, but having tons of fun, " said Kim Holly '86. The 1986 trip more than lived up to tradition. "All night long, you could hear footsteps in the halls as people sneaked into other people's rooms to talk or play poker," said Stacie Hawkes '86. "You could often hear Mr. Spann yelling after people, and sometimes even chasing them." Although the fun at Maryville was never to be repeated, choir members' success in competition would become a frequent occurrence. The New Design would soon take straight Division I ratings in the State Swing Choir contest and second place in the Creston contest. But swing choir members weren't alone in their pursuit of excellence. Concert choir also did well in competition, with 15 members traveling to All State auditions in Des Moines, where nine students were selected for the All State Choral Festival in Ames. " I really felt honored to be on the All State list - it's the epitome of a choral group," said Susan Schultz '86. Other All State selections included Mike Boone '87, Theresa Jaussi '88, Chris Hoover '86, Holly Pechacek '88, Mike Phillips '86, Scott Pleake '86, Renee Rocheleau '86, and Jane Trausch '86. But contest expertise wasn 't easily acquired. It was the end product of hours of early morning and evening practices. " People don't realize how long it takes to choreograph one song. Sometimes we spend a half hour just mastering one step," said Laurie Milford '87. Practice time was more precious than ever with the addition of the Young Design, a swing choir composed of freshmen and sophomores, which required that Director Lee Spann split Monday nigbt practice time between groups. "The creation of a Young Design gives freshmen and sophomores the chance to participate in swing choir and also gives them excellent performance experience ," said Spann. Despite the shortened practice time, members attributed their success to their positive outlook. " Our group was good because we had so many different personalities shooting for the same goal," said Matt Burke '86. " It's each individual in the group that makes the difference!" Choirs 63 ~ ig band toots a way to success E xhausted after four hours of marching and tooting the trumpet, Ken Arrick '88, plopped himself in a shady spot of grass and eagerly devoured his sack lunch. Other band members soon joined him for their onehour lunch break. They talked about the next four hours' schedule and complained about the 94-degree weather. For band members, the eighthour practice sessions took place from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p .m. every day for two weeks in August. With the addition of freshmen and sophomores like Arrick, the band nearly tripled its enrollment from 33 to 90 members. "The underclassmen added a new spark to what was almost an extinguished band," said band director Robert Robuck. The increased enrollment enabled the band to play a wider variety of music, produce greater sound, and perform complex field moves. "It was hard to be proud of last year's small band," said drum major Laura Roeder '86. "This year, I take pride in saying I'm in band. Having a larger band makes our school look more impressive and more involved in the fine arts." Looking impressive was what band members had in mind as they donned their new gray and blue uniforms, purchased last spring after AL band members raised $30,000 for the uniforms in a team effort with the Tee Jay band. While the new uniforms made the band look impressive, the August practices made the band sound impressive. " Most people wouldn't dedicate eight hours of their summer days to practice for band," said Rick Miller '89, "but we were willing to give 100 percent of ourselves to make our band successful." At the Oct. 12 State Band Contest at Lewis Central, success arrived when the Marching Lynx won a Division I rating. "Mr. Robuck's pep talk before the contest really got our adrenalin pumping .

" From the first note, we knew we could do it. Spectators were gasping at the end of our performance. Band members feed on reactions like that because it makes our time and effort worthwhile. " More than 100 parents also put much time in as Band Boosters sponsoring fundraisers for dry cleaning uniforms. Like the Marching Lynx, orchestra increased its enrollment from 8 to 20 members. With the added musicians, the orchestra managed to garner 27 medals compared to just two last year. " Orchestra has improved so much this year with all the new talented people," said Scott Dietz '87. " I wish that I had more than one year to be involved." Improvement in jazz band was also due to an enrollment increase. When the size doubled, the group was divided into two bands. The first competed while the other practiced to become part of the first. And, for the first time, jazz band not only qualified for the Iowa Jazz Band Championships but also received a Division II rating. " After watching other jazz bands for seven straight hours, we picked up some fantastic new setups and ideas," said Mark Demarais '87. "By the end of the trip, we were all so close that we called ourselves the Band Buddies." The colorguard was another close group, but it seemed to be the weakest part of the band due to its new style. Influenced by new sponsor, Kim McDaniel-Robuck, the 15 girls performed dance routines in tight body suits instead of the· traditional flag routines in skirts. "With anything new, there is always the risk that people won't like it," said assistant captain Laura Thrush '86. " It takes people a while to adjust, and, unfortunately, people weren't ready for it." Like their spectators, the colorguard had a hard time adjusting. " It was a difficult year because of our inexperience in dancing and slow adjustment to the new outfits," said captain Cheryl Martin '86. "With all the changes, we had to pull together and do our best. " But with improvement from new members and new uniforms, "bigger is better" proved to be accurate for Lynx instrumentalists.

For three days, Key Club members from all over the midwest gathered to learn more about service and elect new officers. Passers by in the Holiday Inn during the election of officers saw a boy struggling to do push-ups while whistling Dixie, a girl conversing with a wall in pig-Latin, and a mummy smothered in toilet pape r. These scenes were not a cts in the Gong Show, but campa igns in the ca ucus, where Beth Tangeman '89, was voted district bulletin editor. " When I ran for treasurer, I had to play the piano with my toes and sing, " said Laura Keim '8 7. " Such things were designed to show how people pe rform under pressure ."

" We could read the uncertainty on the faces of the elderly when we walked in, but by the end of the day, their moods changed," said Lisa Christiansen '87. " It made me feel happy to know we made their day." National Honor Society also served others in unique ways. One night in October, after a cook-out at the house of sponsor Orville Miller, 20 members took to the streets of Council Bluffs. They dodged from house to house ask-. ing for an egg at one and selling it to the next for a dollar. " One lady thought we were pranksters when we asked her to buy an egg and she slammed the door in our faces," said Brad White '86. " Although people thought it was an odd fundraiser for NHS, we had fun. " The $ 113 made from the egg sale was used to finance the induction of new members and Hall of Fame members. Alumni honored in the Hall of Fame included Betty Abbott, first woman on the Omaha city council, Leo Myerson, founder of World Radio, and Matthew Tinley, nominated for U.S. vice-president. Other NHS services included decorating a Christmas tree in the Dodge House, changing the ma rquee, and tutoring students. As always, Courtesy Club se rved the school by handing out programs at concerts and plays, directing parents at Open House, and acting as hostesses for graduation. "Courtesy Club is based sole ly on volunteering one 's time," said Che ryl Martin. " It's a great feeling to help people and not receive anything in return. " KEY CLUB.

"Mercy, mercy!" they cried as paper whips cracked them on their backs, and the simulated Hitler cursed, "Swirlee, swirlee!" This skit and others were performed by student council members at their Camp Aldersgate retreat in early September to understand the gap that would exist between upper and underclassmen. To bridge that gap, 26 officers and representatives-at-large spent two days discussing how the council could do more for the student body. In groups of mixed ages, they brainstormed for ideas for a Homecoming theme and activities for community service and made plans .to sponsor the Get Acquainted, Homecoming, and Valentine dances. "The whole purpose of the retreat was to become more unified," said Cathy Morrison '86, executive president. " I was pleased to see the amount of work we got done." In addition to sponsoring dances, the student council worked to improve facilities. " I was set on doing things for the school," said Todd Woods '86, executive vice-president. "We donated an electronic message sign and a change machine to the student lounge. It's been a while since any other student council donated anything."

"We had two bloodmobiles with approximately 40 donors at each," said Vickie Fuller '87, Junior Class representative-at-large. "I think we were successful because we were usually doing things for others." Foreign Exchange Club also set goals and reached them. "Our goal was to make this year's Christmas dance the best yet," said Jill Pechacek '86, president. "We spent more than $1200 and had at least three times as many people he! ping as last year." Approximately 70 club members met in October at Pechacek's house for a casual party and planning session for the dance. "The party made things more personal and not so much like a meeting," said Libby Campbell '86. "It was fun and at the same time everyone worked and helped." The $900 raised from the dance was used to pay for all graduation needs, yearbooks, dance tickets, and school fees for the three foreign exchange students. "I think it's really neat that the kids want to help us so much," said Tom Rader, a senior from Germany. "It makes me feel really good about the U.S. and the way people care."

We panicked hat? What do you mean "W there 's no more? " screamed Linda Bottrell '87, as she stared at the long line of students waiting for their free donuts during Abe Lincoln week. The student council's plan was to have around 1500 donuts, but two boxes of 120 donuts each failed to arrive and so did the 1400 apples that were ordered. "All I knew was that there was a line of at least 20 students waiting to take back donuts to their homerooms, and all of a sudden, there weren't any more," said Bottrell. " My heart just dropped when I realized we were so short, and there were no apples." Cathy Morrison '86, checked frantically at Hy-Vee and at school, but somehow the food had vanished. " We had to apologize to a lot of people, which made me feel as if it was a flop," said Morrison. " It won't however, be a day to forget."

Student Council, Foreign Exchange Club 71 'hey make the most of makin' spirit W when the camp counselor's light went out, five silhouettes tiptoed from their cabin into the Okoboji night air. In seconds, six more shadows appeared to join the now giggling group, and momentarily, they all disappeared into a dimly lit cabin in Vacation Village. The lock clicked, the curtains inched closed, and the party began. Fifteen porn pon girls scrunched themselves into the tiny room at camp to devour three pots of spaghetti made from supplies bought at the resort's store. "During lunch we decided to have a spaghetti party after we practiced, but by the time we finished practicing, it was lights out. The party had to go on, so we just sneaked around and hoped we didn't get caught," said Liz Larsen '86. "It was the only time we had to just be friends without practicing like crazy. " Porn pon girls had started practicing long before camp, beginning the first day of summer vacation. Moaning and groaning as they crawled out of their cars at 7 a.m. , they lugged in everything from sugared donuts to nachos to gain the boost of energy needed to choreograph new songs, synchronize more than 100 jumps and kicks, and work up the courage to build 13-feet pyramids. Like the porn pon girls, cheerleaders spent their summer building friendships and practicing routines, and for both squads, the year was a testimony to their effort. Before camp, we had to practice for two hours straight. It was so hot, I felt sick when I left. It was awful! " said Jody Randall '89. "Whoever said girls perspire instead of sweat must not have gone through a cheerleading practice in July." But the sweat was forgotten when the freshman and junior varsity squads won first prize awards at camp. And once school began, audiences could see the results of extra practices in the pyramids both squads performed regula rly. "Porn pon girls told me pyramids aren't very hard; they just take a long time to get (continued on page 74) FINGER LICKIN' GOOD.

We partied T he night started as an innocent porn pon all-nighter at the church of Liz Larsen '86, but 15 girls couldn't stay calm, cool, and collected. T optoeing through a peaceful sanctuary and ducking into pews whenever they heard a noise may not be a normal church activity, but to the girls, it was fun. "Being crazy in a church was fun!" said Stacey Saunders '89. "At first, I felt guilty, but soon I forgot I was wearing sweats instead of a dress." When one girl saw four eyes peeking in a window, her scream brought the onlookers to every girl's attention. "Let's get 'em!" one girl screamed. "Okay," another said, and the chase began. The girls ran to the door in the back of the room and slammed into each other as the leader jumped back in awe. Coming across the lawn were 40 boys expecting to join the party. WITH ONE LAST HUG, Shelly Brooks and Stacey Saunders reminisce in the student lounge after the last game about crazy times the girls shared. As Larsen was telling the newcomers to leave, she saw a silhouette that hushed the crowd.

"It would take me forever to balance 10 feet in the air. I've been coming to games for three years, and I've never seen anything like it." For football season and all but four weeks of basketball season, the pep leaders entertained audiences with pyramids, but midway through basketball, pyramids were banned from the Metro conference due to an accident at Central High. Spirit raisers tried to fight the new rule with petitions, but to no avail. So they practiced secretly every morning, planning to do one last pyramid at the last game, but the squad's collective conscience foiled the plan. "We planned the pyramid for a while, but when Mr. Messerli thanked us for supporting him, there was no way we could do it," said co-captain Criss Krabbe '86. But fans and squad members knew that even without pyramids, performance had improved ov~_r last year. For the porn pon squad, new blood provided new ideas and dedication. While most teachers took three months off, Sally Carlson, Gunn school teacher and former porn pon girl, sweat out practices with the girls, critiquing their dances and helping them choose uniforms. Freshmen also gave extra to prove themselves able members of the squad. "I tried hard to show I was mature enough to handle the job. I felt lucky to have the chance, and I didn't want to let the squad down," said Stacey Saunders '89. Cheerleaders benefitted from a new policy under which the same girls were chosen for fall and winter sports, instead of having separate squads for each, giving the girls more time to grow close. At season's end, the girls knew they had improved their performance, and most importantly, they had done it as friends. "We decided at camp to be friends before we were a porn pon squad, and that decision alone helped us improve our dancing and ma'de it a better year," said co-captain Debbie Brown '86. "LET'S GO!"

Cheerleading, Porn Pon 75 "Why bother working to get good grades, when it's so easy to cheat and get great ones?" - senior guy ' ' p sst ... Do you have your math assignment done?" "Yeah, why?" " I didn't have time to finish mine. Can I copy yours?" No wonder these words were heard frequently in hallways and classrooms as 79 of 100 polled admitted to cheating regularly. Reasons for cheating differed. Most upperclassmen said they cheated because of lack of time for schoolwork. "Between having a job and my extracurricular activities, I just don't have time to study or do my homework sometimes," said a senior girl. "Almost anyone will give you their assignment. It's just helping a friend in need." Many underclassmen, on the other hand, said they cheated because they didn't understand the material being covered. "When I was in junior high, I hardly ever cheated," said a freshman guy. "Stuff is harder now, so sometimes I cheat to survive." Some teachers, however, felt that students cheated because they couldn't live up to the expectations they had for themselves. "Some students see themselves as an A or B student and won't settle for a lower grade," said Cheryl Tousley, English instructor. "When these people are having a test they think they might do badly on, they cheat so that they get the grade they want." · Besides cheating for these reasons, 46 students said they cheated simply because they were given the opportunity. "Some teachers are so stupid," said a sophomore guy. "You can practically leave your notes right on the desk, and they won't even notice." But teachers did not agree with the accusation, with all of those polled saying they took measures to prevent cheating in their classes. Some teachers said they carefully watched the class until every paper was turned in, and others handed out different tests within the same classroom. Tousley had yet another approach to the problem. " I clear my throat and give dirty looks," she said. "I hope kids don't cheat, but if they do, sooner or later, it will show. ' ' English, Latin, and American Government were rated the three easiest classes to cheat in by those polled. 76 Academic Special Feature " My American Government teacher leaves the room while we're taking test," said a junior guy. " Who wouldn't cheat when given a chance like that?" Students said the kind of homework and tests teachers gave also left opportunities to cheat. " My English teacher doesn't pay attention, for one thing," said a sophomore girl. " But she also never gives us tests where we have to write out anything. That makes it really easy to see answers on someone else's paper." Students also cheated on homework, though most didn't consider such copying as bad as cheating on a test. Although most teachers disapproved of outright copying, some said working together on homework was acceptable. "Sometimes there is accidental learning that takes place when students work together, and even though it's not desirable, it's better than having a student who doesn't even bother to attempt the work," said Bob Pettepier, math instructor. But others said working together on homework was as bad or worse than cheating on a test. " It's just as important to do homework assignments alone as it is tests because that's where the real learning takes place," said Chris Fink, chemistry instructor. " If students do it together, they don't get everything out of it that they could." Of the 79 students who admitted to cheating, only 19 had ever been caught. According to most, the consequences weren't harsh enough to stop them from becoming repeat offenders. "When I got caught cheating, I was really scared," said a junior girl. " I thought I would get in big trouble, but my teacher really didn't do anything. Now I'm a lot more careful. " There were those students who didn't cheat but felt cheated by those who did. " It just isn't fair! " said a sophomore girl. "Some people work hard to get the grade they deserve, while other people cheat and get a better grade than those who are honest. " Even though teachers and some students felt cheating was bad, most cheaters polled expressed no remorse about cheating. " All that counts to me is getting an A or B," said a senior guy. "Who cares how I get it?" LIKE A FAITHFUL WATCHDOG, instructor Cheryl Tousley studies her English 5-6 students while they take their final. USING A CHEAT SHEET was a popular way for students to cheat on tests, with 45 of 100 polled saying they sometimes used one. THE OLD ART of copying off s omeone e lse's paper was still the number one way of making the grade among students polled, with 59 of 100 saying they used this method of cheating.

In their first season of five-on-five girls' basketball, the 15-7 Lady Lynx achieved the second best girls' basketball record in history, earned state ranking for the first time, and won the city championship. "At the beginning of the season, everyone thought we'd be lucky to win one game,'' said Anne Dryden '87. "But we proved to ourselves and fans that we were a high quality team." The boys' soccer team also proved its quality when it established an 11-0-1 record, captured the Metro championship and Zenon Cup, and sent one-third of its players to the Iowa All-State T earn. The 10-3 girls' tennis team also won the city tournament, claiming eight of nine first places, and for the first time in history, advanced three out of four positions at Metro semi-finals to place third out of 18 teams. "I always dreamed of having a successful season like this," said Cheryl Martin '86, who qualified for State singles. "Winning the city championship and playing at State made the perfect ending to my senior year. " Boys' track sent three competitors to State, seven to Drake Relays, and placed first and second in five meets to compose the best track team in 10 years.

They were young. They were inexperienced. And they were right - the season that lay ahead for the baseball and softball teams would be a tough one. "They had the determination, but not the experience," said Bob Pettepier, softball coach, about his 6-21 Lady Lynx. Inexperienced pitching was the team's biggest problem as freshman Cindy Juel led a sophomore pitching staff, including Kelly Malskeit, Amy Paulson, and Stacy McKeever. "When the pitcher got down, the rest of us did, too, " said catcher Jill McManigal '86, adding that the young pitchers lacked confidence against stiffer competition. Indeed, pitching could make or break a game . In 18 at bats against Maryville's pitcher, the Lynx produced only one run, no RBI's, and a crushing eight strike outs. When Lynx pitchers tried to stop Maryville, all four of them came up short, allowing Maryville to score eight runs to win the game. But the constant struggle against inexperience did not demoralize the team. "This team had much better character than in past years, " said Pettepier. "They never once had their heads down . Every time they went on the field, they acted like they could win." Even against Lewis Central, who had beaten them three times, they went into the sectional tournament like they had a chance to win. Seniors sparked the positive attitude that proved so important to the Lady Lynx, according to PetteBASEBALL. FRONT ROW. Roger Schnitke r. J e ff Lapel. Corey Beck, Bob Hillem an. BACK ROW.

Pettepier said Dawn Young stood out defensively while her batting average of .288 rose to heights he never anticipated. The batting average of Cindy Wilson soared to .360 to earn her the spot as leading hitter. Like another chapter in the same book, the Lynx baseball team had higher expectations than a 10-29 season, but the team couldn't seem to put things together. "When the pitching was good, we had no hitters. When our hitters were good, we didn't have enough pitchers to go a whole game," said Kurt Kay '86, who added that momentum played a big part in the team's performance. In the District tournament, for example, the momentum began to build in an 11-0 shut out of Harlan, and continued as the Lynx jumped to a 4-1 lead over Lewis Central. But in the third inning, rain plagued the event, postponing it until the next day and causing the Lynx downfall. "We took both teams by surprise , as we were favored to lose both games," said Kay . " But that extra day gave LC a day to think and rest and took away our momentum." With Kay pitching on only 24 hours rest, the next day was a whole new scene. The Titans started the game with a double and proceeded to overcome the Lynx 7-4. Individual team leaders were Kay and Bryan Muschall, both making the Iowa-Nebraska All Star Team. Kay also made first team All-District and honorable mention All-State. STRETCHING to make the play, Craig Tracy gives all he's got to get Kevin Heller of Lewis Central out.

After being pummeled for 200 passing yards and fumbling seven times, the Lynx prevailed in overtime, 14-7, behind a strong offense on a 1-yard plunge by senior I-back Jeff Tilley. "We could have played even better than we did; we fumbled the ball a few times when we shouldn't have," said Tilley, " but this game was definitely based on team play, not on individual players." Occasionally, though, even team work failed. When time ran out against Omaha North, the score was tied, and as the clock ticked into overtime, North made an extra point and squeaked by the Lynx, 14- 13. But the team didn't let that loss get them down, focusing on the bright spots instead of the gloomy. " We moved the ball well, considering that North was the hardest hitting team we played," said Carter Larson, ''6. Following the North game, the Lynx were creamed 14-6 by top rated Millard North, but fans seemed to barely notice, savoring the sweet victories against city rivals and a major power at Homecoming. Like the varsity, the junior varsity players made team play and a positive attitude work for them. (continued on page 85) I 'As a team we improve more and more each year.

"This year's team as a whole really showed progress, " said Mike Batten, Head J. V. Coach. "As we gained confidence through practicing, we learned how to win." But wins came slowly as the Lynx lost their first and second games to South and Burke before hard work paid off in a convincing victory over cross town rival Tee-Jay. "We knew we would have to work together to win that game!" said Mike Clark, offensive and defensive tackle. "The best part was knowing we had won against our biggest rivals and we all helped out." After the win over Tee-Jay, a new confidence carried the team through to a 14-7 win over 7-1 Westside. "We wanted to win this game because all the odds were against us, and when you are the underdogs, it makes you push even harder to win," said John Larsen '87. "Playing physically and aggressively helped us stay tough and keep on going." Although the team finished with a 2-6 season, the sophomores' hard work and determination was reflected in gradual improvement and unwillingness to quit. "These kids improved more than any sophomore team I've ever seen," said Coach Bob Burns. "They didn't let their losses discourage them from going out there and giving it the best they had." Determination showed up in the last game against Omaha Westside, in which the Lynx led the first three quarters but then lost the game 13-7. "We didn't regard this as a f~ilure because it was the best game we played," said Steve Jensen '88. "We scored in the first quarter and led up until the fourth quarter, and that showed we were strong enough to hold on until the end." Like the sophomores, the freshmen worked hard but lacked experience to win the first games of the season. "After the first few games, I wondered if they would ever win," said Joe Hauser, head freshman coach. "But as the season went on, they proved to me what they were made of." Winning the last three out of four games and beating Creighton Prep 14-0 as no other AL team had done helped the 3-5 freshman team end its season with pride. "We improved a lot throughout the season but whether we won or lost, we still had fun," said Brian Harmon '89. "This year gave us a chance to gain the experience that we needed." SANDWICHED.

"I've thought about it, but I can't figure out the problem, so I'll let you talk about it among yourselves." So after losing to a team of lesser ability, the frustrated girls were left in the balcony at Bellevue West to contemplate their mistakes and determine how to overcome the inconsistency that had plagued the team all year. Emotions flooded the balcony as each girl shared feelings of discouragement and hope . Players formed a bond of trust from this discussion and set new goals, enabling them to improve their 0-6 record to an 11-16-4 season finish. "The confidence developed from that talk helped us to play better because it drew us closer," said Laurel Martin '86. In addition to the closeness they shared, both players and coaches agreed that the important quality they possessed was determination. While other students lounged by the pool during the last weeks of summer vacation, 35 determined girls devoted 5 hours a day in the sweltering heat of the gym, serving hundreds of balls, running laps, and scrimmaging. " I fe el the girls' perseverence was definitely our strong point," said Kyte. "There were many times when we could have given up, but we didn't. The girls kept working, constantly, giving it their all. " VOLLEYBALL. FRONT ROW: Agnes Kavana ugh.

Part of giving it their all was learning to deal with pressure situations. During practices, players served 50 balls in a row, and for every ball missed , the entire team ran laps, thus creating the same type of pressure they would experience at games. This drill allowed the team to set a record of 93.5 percent service. Practicing under pressure paid off at the Des Moines Invitational. Playing from 8 :30 a .m. to 6 p.m., the Lynx tied with Des Moines Valley for first in their pool and went on to take third in the tournament. Persistence also enabled some individuals to set records. Amy Lemen '86, was awarded most valuable player and named to the all-city and sixth state teams. Lemen broke the school records in ace sets and service . Out of 354 serves, 350 were successful and 112 were aces. "At the beginning of the season, I set goals for both serving and setting," said Lemen. " Yet no one dwelled on individual success but instead concentrated on team success." Kristi Anderson '88, was also named to the all-city team and broke the school blocking record with 163. Players agreed that through their closeness and determination, they had gained something more important than wins - they had developed better understanding of each other.

The difference was etched in his shaky hands and the butterflies in his stomach as he dressed. On this day, White would compete in his first state cross country meet. "State competition is a new experience," said Coach Mick Freeman. "Because of the lack of familiarity and the nervousness, runners don't always do their best. Greg tried to combat this by making his morning as normal as possible." White succeeded in his battle of the butterflies, finishing twentieth out of 88 at the meet in Ames. "When I found out I'd qualified for State, I kept hoping I'd finish in the top 20," said White. " I'm really proud to think I did in competition against the best runners in Iowa!" The teams sent balloons to White, and several even traveled to Ames to watch him compete. But White wasn't the only individual the teams supported.

The girls' team placed seventh in the invitational. along the course to root an individual on as he ran. But no amount of team support could make up for the lack of experience which led to the girls' 2-2 dual record. With no seniors competing and most of the team composed of sophomores and freshmen, the girls' team suffered two disappointing losses and placed last in several invitationals at the start of the season. Like the girls, the boys' team had its own obstacles to overcome. According to Freeman, the boys lacked a strong competitive spirit in the beginning, achieving only a 1-3 dual record. Weather was another obstacle runners had to hurdle. They pushed their bodies in the sweltering August heat, running up to six miles daily, and endured many runs in the rain. "At Metro, since it was pouring rain, the officials had the girls' and boys' race run simultaneously. We ran in clumps, dodging puddles and sloshing through the mud," said Susan Freeman '87. "When I think of it now, it seems sort of funny, but it wasn't at the time." Despite the many odds it faced, the cross country team ended its season by bringing home trophies from Missouri Valley, the Northwest JV Invitational, and Harlan. CROSS COUNTRY.

Unable to match the nearly undefeated records of the past ten varsity teams, the team battled ups and downs from beginning to end and finished the season with a 5-3 dual record. The Lynx got their season off to a good start by defeating Central 48-27 at their first dual meet, but unfortunately, the tables turned, and the team took two hard blows in a row, losing to Millard North and Omaha North. Wrestlers recovered quickly, though, and went on to beat Ralston and South, but then faced the biggest disappointment of the season - letting Tee Jay slip by to win 23-38. "The Tee Jay meet was close until the last few matches," said Tim Knauss '88. "It really brought the team down because AL hasn't been beaten by the Yellowjackets for ages." Coaches and team members said the mediocrity of the season stemmed from several factors. First, inexperience plagued this team of six seniors, no juniors, and seven underclassmen. "We had many new wrestlers from the junior highs that hadn't had enough training or experience ," said Bryan Muschall '86. Other wrestlers were not willing to put forth the extra effort to improve their technique at the one· and-a-half-to-two hour practices.

Although the performance of the team didn't fulfill expectations, the weight of the teeter totter shifted at the District meet in Urbandale, where Todd Woods '86, and John Hiffernan '88, won first and second place respectively and qualified for State competition. But State opponents were tougher to take down, and although both wrestlers won their first match, they lost on the following day. Woods lost 7-8, and Hiffernan lost 6-7. "I hope to qualify again next year," said Hiffer· nan. "Hopefully with a lot of work , I might place in State competition someday. " The highest point of the season for many came at the dual meet against Lewis Central. Scores were close throughout the meet, and tension mounted as the Lynx fought with all their might to conquer the city rival. The Titans met their match as the Lynx wrapped it up 35-26. "We weren't expecting to beat them since they seemed to get off to a better start," said Jeff Cop· pock '87 . "I think the team pulled together because the match was so close." Despite its ups and downs, wrestlers agreed that the year was a memorable one ." "We didn't wrestle as well as we should have ," said Woods, "but by the end of the season, we were a very close team."

Although high points came only sporadically, the team endured the loop-to-loops through a bond of respect and talent. Unfortunately, these attributes couldn't overcome the off night the Lynx had at sectionals, resulting in the fourth straight loss a Lynx team suffered in tournament play. "I think we were overconfident," said Craig Tracy '86, co-most valuable player with leading scorer Kurt Kay '86. "We thought about the game, but we were looking too far ahead. The feeling just wasn't there because we were tense." Despite the abrupt halt to the promising season, the everchanging ride brought the 10-10 team to the crest of high curves unseen by AL teams for 20 years. " Although we were disappointed with the last game, it's unfair to judge a season on one game because this team had the best record AL's had in 10 years," head coach Phil Nielsen said. "In the last 20 years, only three teams have won more games, and this is the first time we've won the outright city championship." But the most memorable accomplishments of the WITH PERFECT FORM, Mark Royer shoots a free throw in the blowout game against Lewis Ce ntral. The Lynx won 75-54 in this first JV game of the season.

Against tenth-ranked Omaha South, the team came away with the victory after it remained strong against repeated Packer rallies, something the boys had trouble with in other games. In the other major conquest along the ride, the team defeated perennial powerhouse Harlan with relative ease . It was a highlight of highlights for the team, especially since no AL team had beaten a Cyclone team in years. "We got off to an 8-0 lead and never trailed the whole game," Kay said. "When Tracy threw down that slam at the end, it closed the door on them. That game probably gave the team the confidence it needed to go to substate. We didn't think anyone in our district could beat us, even though that confidence made us end up in the bingo parlor instead of Veteran's Auditorium." One reason for the team's intermittent success was its inability to sustain a lead in the closing minutes of close games. In the Bryan, Westside, and North games, the team held large leads with less than four minutes to go, only to lose in the closing seconds or in overtime. Although last minute choking remained a part of the collapses, Nielsen a ttributed some of this to the extraordinary play of opponents. " I don't think us playing badly was the only thing; you have to give some credit to the other team. Omaha North doesn't make three pointers every night like they did against us," Nielsen said. Even though the team caught opponents at the crest of their ride, AL found some solace in earning respect around the league, surpassing ma ny (continued on page 95) 'Our ma in problem was rrnental lapses in close games_; we tried to do things we didn't nave aoility for.

Unlike the varsity team, the junior varsity rode to the top of the coaster on a car made of ability and attitude . "This team had amazing potential and they made the most of their season, " said Coach Terrell Clinton. "They were a super bunch to work with , always supporting each other and working up to ability. " Teamwork and ability showed in the season as the team won its first five games and after losing to Westside, bounced ba ck to beat St. Albert in a game players cited as most satisfying. "This was a big game since we are intercity rivals, and we came in and played strong from beginning to end," said John Larsen '87. The greatest disappointment of the JV's 12-5 season was a loss to Creighton Prep. "The biggest problem we had was not getting enough rebounds and not coming back very hard on defense," said Eric Hubbert '88. " We just weren't shooting well - we could have hit the boards much harder." The sophs were more familiar with disappointment in their slow chug uphill to a 5-8 season. But among the losses, confidence-boosting wins kept the team going. One such win came against Bellevue East. After being down by 10 points in the third quarter, the team relaxed and came back to score 21 points in the fourth quarter. ON GUARD, Mike Hartfield plays defense against Lewis Central's Todd Meyer. Teammates said Hartfield was the varsity's main ball handler and play maker. " We wanted to win more than the9 did, and it was reflected in the way we played," said Chuck Milner '88. " Our effort was definitely at its highest in this game . But the momentum didn't last. A crushing loss to Benson followed , in which the Lynx trailed the entire game . " One of the problems of the game was that the Benson team was a lot taller than us so they got more rebounds," said Robby Collins '88. "But we also played badly with too many people fouling. " Like the sophomores, the 8-10 freshmen didn't have a winning season, but their determination carried them as high as they could go. " I feel positive about what we have accomplished this season," said Coach Larry Kenny. "One big thing we had to face was our height disadvantage , but even when we lost, we played well. The obstacles faced got the guys off to a slow start, with the most disappointing loss coming before Christmas break to Omaha Bryan. " The practice before the game was in the Kirn gym, and we were all fooling around and not taking it seriously," said Todd Johnson '89. "Mr. Kenny got so mad at us he took all of the starters out. The game showed we hadn 't prepared for a team whose shortest guy was bigger than our tallest. " But things turned around for the team in the game against Creighton Prep. Led by top scorer Dave Tornabane, the Lynx stayed neck-to-neck with Prep until the last four seconds of the game when Chris Cihacek '89, made the winning basket. "This game changed our attitude about the season because it proved we could beat a tough Omaha team," said Tornabane.

At the next afternoon practice, all the starters but Pechacek disappeared into the locker room with Coach Dave Brown. When they emerged, each one was wearing a pair of boots. "We wanted to show her how funny she looked. When she walked in, it was the most hysterical sight. We thought it would be fun to mock her at practice," said junior starter Lisa Wilson. But the season wasn't all fun and games as the dedicated girls sweat out morning, weekend, and two-a-day practices; summer clinics, and Sunday distance running, all in preparation for Al's first girls' five-on-five season. And what a season it was, as six alternating starters led the way to a 15-7 record, the second best in history. Producing outstanding performances were "twin towers" Kristi Anderson '88 at 6'2" and Pechacek at 6'0. Anderson was rated third in Metro rebounding and scoring and second in field goal percentage while Pechacek rated seventh in free throw percentage.

Highlights of the season included setting a record for least points allowed when the team smoked Tee Jay 64-24; defeating ninth ranked Papio; and upsetting third rated Millard North to earn the title of cochamps of the American Division. The Lady Lynx also held their own state ranking for three weeks. With only six upperclassmen to head the pack, these accomplishments were made possible by team closeness and a positive attitude. " Instead of trying to put 'us down, the upperclassmen would play with us and help us learn the plays. There were no grade barriers between us," said Toni Mcintosh '88. " The starters led the way, but we were always ready to come off the bench and play our role. " Brown developed a strong relationship with each of his players by holding individual conferences with each girl, hosting pizza parties for the team, and listening to personal problems. "I think the conferences helped a lot," said Anderson. " We got to know Mr. Brown better and he got to know us, too. We were more than just a coach and players; we were friends." While varsity boasted wins against rated teams, JV had a tougher time. Yet, they managed to gain needed experience and clench a 15-7 season under the leadership of co-captains Suzie Skipper '87, and Mcintosh. The freshman girls weren't as fortunate as they struggled through their first year of 5-on-5 to end with a 6-10 record. AIRBORNE.

Small team membership doesn't stop hard working swimmers from breaking records and earns the size of whales taunted them, and the stinging of exhaustion zapped them, but the tiny school of Lynx swimmers kept on paddling to overcome the odds, gain winning seasons, and break records. "At the beginning of the season, I wanted to bring my 100-meter free time to under one minute," said Corey Ranslem '88. "Whenever practices became too monotonous, I just kept my goal in mind." But for swimmers, reaching goals came only after daily two-and-a-half-hour races with the clock. "There's not a lot of excitement swimming back and forth, " said Coach Mike Hale . "They have to be dedicated enough to swim over three miles every day or they just won't make it." The girls' and boys' teams both finished the winter season with 8-3 records, and the girls finished their fall season with a 6-1 dual record. "The boys' record shows what improvement they've made," said Coach John Galloway. "To raise a record from 0-12 last year to 8-3 this year shows a lot of dedication." The biggest problem faced by the teams was their small membership, with only eight boys and 12 girls finishing the season. "It was kind of discouraging to see 40 girls from the opposing team get off the bus," said Tammy Fiala '86. " We may have won more first places than GOIN' FOR A VICTORY, Jeff Hahn dives in to start the medley relay against Bellevue East at Kirn. The team finished first. the other team, but they would win the meet because they outnumbered us. Yet we tried to think positive and do our best to be number one. As a result of their determination, the girls were able to break all but two school records. Michelle Hughes '88, and Susan Schumacher '88, each broke three records, while Kelly Bates '87, set two records in diving, and the 400-meter relay team broke the old records. From the boys' team, Gary Clouse '87, and James Johnson '87, set records in the 100-meter butterfly and the 100-meter backstroke . " Galloway really knows how to work us, " said Clouse . "He doesn't overwork us, but he pmhes us hard enough so that we can be prepared for upcoming meets." The girls' team proved itself in the classroom as well as in the pool, earning a team award for an overall grade point average of 3.37, and qualifying Fiala for the All Metro Academic Swim Team. "I was really proud and honored because only the top 12 teams from the metro area with the highest grade points qualified, " said Fiala. " I was so happy because it was something I worked for the entire year. " Even after the season ended, most swimmers worked out regularly. " I've always loved swimming," said Ranslem. "The pool is like a home away from home for me. I swim not only during the summer, but also during the winter so I stay in shape. " SWIMMING. FRONT ROW: Kathy Yeoman.

Although plagued with inconsistency, golf teams capture numerous honors with ith eyes focused, muscles tense, and foreheads furrowed with concentration, golfers sent thousands of tiny white balls to their destinations hundreds of yards away. And they often wondered if such shots were based on skill or luck, especially this season, which was full of hit-or-miss matches. Because both teams had six players with almost equal skills, inconsistency dominated weekly playoffs for the five varsity positions. "Hard feelings were often caused when a person did well in playoffs but then bombed out in an actual match," said Susan Schumacher '88. The girls were plagued the worst with inconsistency due to the loss of star player Lori Lepley '85, yet they managed to take third place in the Tee Jay Invitational overall standings. "One of the problems we had in the tournament was that people who held varsity positions were always changing due to the playoffs," said Pam Laudon '87. " Another thing was that we kept hitting balls into the trees." Yet, excellent performances in the invitational came from Laudon, shooting a 109 to place thirteenth, Kelly McKeown '88, receiving fourteenth with 110, and Laura Roeder '86, also shooting a 110 to place fifteenth. BAREFOOT PUTTER Mike Hartfield concentrates on the ball in a putting contest with fellow golf members the day before sectionals. Because the players didn't have their spiked golf shoes, they putted in bare feet for extra traction. Hartfield took twelfth in the sectional tournament. Overall, several players said season scores would have improved if girls hadn't worked. "Because people had jobs, they were always leaving early and missing practices," said Amy Wheeler '88. "This cost us some close matches." Boys also described the season as inconsistent, but managed a 7-1 record, with Scott Larsen '86, as their leader. Larsen shared medalist honors and twelfth place in the Metro Conference Tournament with Mike Hartfield '86. "Although I did well in the tournament, I felt throughout the season that I was unable to be counted on for a good score," said Hartfield. "I changed my swing, and while the other players were practicing for tournaments, I was practicing perfecting my swing.'' Larsen also took medalist in the Sioux City Sectionals, where he helped his team capture the championship. After taking fourth in the Metro Tourney, placing first in the City Tournament, taking first in Sectionals, and remaining undefeated in the Metro, the team's next goal was to qualify for State. But qualifying for state was harder than the boys expected, and the team was beaten out by Webster City and Spencer. " Golf is so unpredictable - one day you'll be having a great game, and the next, your playing won't be quite up to par, " said Phil Neilsen, boys' golf coach. "Even though we felt confident going into the match, we were beaten out because we were just having an off day." GOLF. FRONT ROW. Criss Krabbe, Stacie Hawkes, Anne Dryden, Ke lly McKeown.

"Coach Crowl always went out of her way to do special things for us," said Kris Lippke '86. "These cute ideas made playing tennis more fun and also made us want to try harder in return." The May Day goodies gave the players that extra energy they needed to capture first place in the City Tournament. AL finished the tournament 50 points ahead of the second place team and took first in eight of the nine positions. The coach's attempt to make participation fun was not the only factor helping the team achieve a 10-3 season record. Both coach and players said team unity was a major factor. " In my three years of coaching, this team has been the most cohesive," said Coach Cathy Crowl. "It was neat to watch the way the seniors supported the freshmen and vice-versa." This strong support was evident when the Lady Lynx played Millard North for the conference championship. All the players and parents gathered around the court to encourage Suzie Skipper '87, and Cindy Voss '87, whose victory or defeat would decide the outcome of the championship. When the exhausted girls finally won the match 8-6, the entire team rushed onto the court, embracing each other and congratulating the victors.

Another highlight came when three of the four teams entered in the Metro Tournament qualified for semi-finals, achieving the best outcome in AL history . The players who qualified were singles players, Cheryl Martin '86, who also qualified for State, and Voss. The doubles team was Laurel Martin '86, and Lippke. The boys' team also tasted the sweetness of success when it finished its Metro season with a 7-3 record and its Iowa spring season with an 8-1 record. The boys and coach attributed much of their success to senior experience and determination. " Not only did we have the return of three strong seniors," said Coach Mike Forbes, " but the boys were absolutely determined never to lose a match." This positive attitude was exemplified at the Carroll Kuemper match. Each point was played with an intense will to win. Like the girls' match against Millard North, the Kuemper match also came down to the wire . Since the score was tied, the victory was up to the doubles team of Scott Wells '88 and Chris Wichman '86. "We all worked so hard for that victory," said Wichman. "It was the greatest feeling when Scott and I finally won in a tie-breaker." TOTAL CONCENTRATION.

With the girls' team consisting of two-thirds freshmen and sophomores, and a first year member becoming the star of the boys' team, track teams were full of new blood. It was no surprise, then, that improvement was the word for the year. The girls' two-mile relay team, for example, cut 29 seconds off its time, with Abby Wilmarth '89, cutting a full 10 seconds off her halfmile leg of the relay. The girls weren't the only ones who improved, according to Joe Hauser, boys' coach, who said 95 percent of the boys also improved. "I ran the second leg of the shuttle-hurdle relay, which is 110 meters, and cut my time from a 17.7 to a 14.9," said Glen White '88. Those who improved credited gains to rigorous practices which lasted from 3:30 until 5 or 5:30. Practices included a warm-up of three 3-minute quarters and separate practices for each distance . Sprinters, for example, ran two ladders consisting of a 300, 200, and 100. "We had to run under a certain time ," said Stephanie Schaben '89. "We kept improving as the times got lower." Overall, the boys' team improved enough to place in the top three at six of seven invitationals. Greg White '86, who had participated in cross country for the last three years but not in track, became the new star of the team, placing fourth at State and breaking school records in both the 800- and 1600-meter runs.

Though neither placed, Craig Tracy '86, participated at State in the high jump and high hurdles, and Tracy Poe '86, participated in the shot put. The girls didn't do as well as the boys, placing in the top three in only two of their six invitationals. One reason for the mediocre season was the return of only one senior and a handful of upperclassmen. Girls had their best times at Districts but did not succeed in sending anyone to State, despite two competitors with potential to go. "I ran the 800-meter open at Districts, and cut about 11 seconds off my time, but still missed making it to State by two-tenths of a second," said AmY Seaman '87 . " If I hadn 't looked back 11 times, I would've made it." Another disappointment came when Zetta Brown '87 , who had gone to State the last two years, couldn't compete due to a pulled hamstring. " I was really upset at the time," she said, " but now I'm just hoping to make it next year." NOT QUITE OVER.

They started with the determination to be undefeated, added the quest for the Zenon Cup, and stirred in a lot of teamwork, finally ending the season with an outstanding 11-0-1 record. The team's goal was to win every game, and the only disappointment was tieing Tee Jay at C.B. Stadium. Both teams struggled to score, but neither had many opportunities because of exceptional defense. When the game ended in a 0-0 tie, the team's first objective was shattered. "Tieing Tee Jay was the biggest disappointment of the season," said Paul Vandenburg '87. "We played well and deserved to win." The tie didn't stop the team's winning streak, though, as the Lynx went on to steamroll Mt. Michael two times in a row, once 5-1 and then in the Zenon Cup playoffs 5-0. In the second game of the playoffs, the Lynx squeezed by Bellevue East 2-1 in overtime, which put them in the championship game against Tee Jay. This time the Lynx were out for revenge, and they were determined to show the Yellowjackets what they were made of in front of 700 spectators at C.B.

The game remained scoreless until the last two and a half minutes, when Bill Vandenburg '88, rammed the ball past Tee Jay's goalkeeper, Todd Armbrust, to win the game and complete a dream season for the Lynx. "The game was tough," said Richard Streepy '89. "We couldn't have won without teamwork. " Unlike the boys, the girls couldn't put together the ingredients for a winning season. Even though the girls weren't a varsity team, they played tough competition in the varsity division for the first time. As a result of inexperience and insufficient practice, the girls achieved only a 3-5·1 record. The major battle of the team was to become a sanctioned sport. "We've talked with the administration several times, but with the budget cut, our chances aren't so hot," said Amelia Johnson '88. "I think the team would try harder and take practice more seriously if it was a varsity sport." Even though the girls had a disappointing season, they were proud of the boys' team. "We were with the boys' team all along, " said Peggy Streepy '88. " All the girls were glad to see them win the Zenon Cup for A.L.

Soccer 107 A positive attitude gives me self confidence, and I run better. I lose a lot of energy when I get nervous." - Greg White '86. f you think you can, you can! Easy enough to say, but hard for an athlete to believe after missing the eighth shot in a row. Yet, according to psychologist Ron Johnson, an athlete's performance is 95 percent attitude . With this vital bit of information, any athlete should be able to go out and conquer the world. Right? Wrong. To achieve results from the " I think I can" philosophy, according to Johnson, a person must follow several steps. To improve its performance, the tennis team had Johnson attend practice and teach members the steps. " After missing a shot, a person often remembers what he did wrong. Rather than using this negativism, he should just say, 'I missed it,' and leave it at that! " Johnson said. "Feeling ashamed after missing a shot is understandable, but it isn't appropriate to extend this attitude to the succeeding shot, game, or so on." The next step was to disengage players' interest in winning and transfer it into doing as well as they could . "A player has no control over his opponent, only himself. If all he thinks of is winning, but his opponent has more skill, he becomes frustrated . Therefore, the goal to do his best would be more appropriate than winning," Johnson said. The third step Johnson taught the team was to utilize positive imaging or seeing and making the shot mentally . " Skill is almost wholly a mind activity. When you picture !'iOmething mentally and go through each motion, you can feel the muscles fir e inside, " Johnson said. The final step was for players to give themselves positive suggestions by saying, " l can." "Can gives an option, " continued Johnson. " It leaves the choice up to the individual! " Tennis team members felt Johnson's tips contributed to their conference championship. " Dr. Johnson helped our team a lot. Now if one player gets down, the team cheers her up by reminding her one shot isn't the whole match or one match the season, " said Kris Lippke '86. Tennis players weren 't the onl y ones who rated attitude up with practice as an ingredient of success. " Attitude is the key to performance ," said Carter Larson '86. Before Coach Emsick came, the football team always had a losing attitude. He changed that, showing us with positive imagery and thoughts that we could win. I'm 108 Sports Special Feature extremely small for my position, a tackle, but I don't give up or think I stand no chance just because other guys are bigger. I just give it my all." Softball coach Robert Pettepier agreed that attitude and skill contributed equally to performance. "During the '84 season, I had the most talented team I've ever coached. The first half of the season we had a 10-2 record , but suddenly the team members had an attitude change," said Pettepier. "At the start of the season, the girls played to have fun, but the last half, they became distracted by things going on in their lives - boyfriends and such - and many became upset because they thought they should have been playing a different position. As a result, we lost 13 games the last half of the season and tied one. I tried yelling, I tried reasoning, I even tried talking to them individually, but nothing made a difference ." Basketball players said their coaches also emphasized attitude . "Coach Kinney even handed out sheets with a saying about attitude that we were supposed to read every morning and night," said Todd Johnson '89, freshman basketball player. Girls' basketball coach Dave Brown felt so strongly about the effect of positive or negative signals he sent his players that he had observers come to practices and games and analyze these signals. "The way I come across has a direct bearing on how the team will perform. The signals I send set a tone for the game ," said Brown, who learned of the technique at district inservice meetings for coaches. No matter how hard coaches tri ed to keep spirits high, other players' attitudes strongly influenced athletes' performances. " It's hard to separate yourself from the team," said Peggy Streepy '88, soccer team member. "If everyone's down, it's not easy to say 'Come on, guys, we 're only behind 20 points, we can catch up. " But teammates had just as much power to lift each other up as to drag each othe r down . " In football we were always slapping people on the rear as a way of saying 'good job!' said Kerry Rasmussen '86. " It might look weird to the people in the stands, but it does a lot for team spirit. " WITH THE SMILE OF SUCCESS, Greg White crosses the finish line to take first in the AL-Tee Jay-Harlan track meet held at C.B. Stadium. White's winning attitude took him to State in both cross country and track. GATHERING A SECOND WIND, soccer players Denise Mackey and Jolie Schmoker encourage each other while heading back onto the field for the second half of t he AlTee Jay soccer game.

Practicing the bassoon eight hours a week for three years proved well worth her time when Kim Capel '88, made the Omaha Youth Orchestra.

"Playing with some of the best musicians in the metro area has helped me to become a more wellrounded musician, " said Capel. While Capel exercised her musical talents, Hoang Nguyen '89, discovered his talents when he took the 1986 Math Exam just to see how he would compare with others and placed fifth out of 61 students, 49 of whom were seniors and juniors. "The test score has encouraged me to consider a career in a math-related field," said Nguyen. Like Nguyen, Steve Brewer '86, based his career goals on academic talents.

'89 _ Mike cooper GROWING PAINS Growing up fast to fit in As he looked hastily over a stack of ominous homework materials and tried to sort out his thoughts about the next day's activities, Mike Housley '89, recalled how many changes had taken place in the past year and how quickly he had been forced to adapt. " Maturity and responsibility are the two things I have acquired from my first year in high school, " said Housley. "But it all happened so fast. A lot more is expected of freshmen here. " Like Housley, many freshmen learned ninth grade at Kirn was a far cry from high school, and the difference served to grow them up fast. "There are so many clubs and extracurricular activities to participate in, it gives me a headache just thinking about it! " said Margee Nagel '89. " You have to be really responsible to keep on top of it all. " Freshmen also found that without teachers following them everywhere and demanding this or that, an extra dose of maturity was needed in high school. "The teachers are not as strict and overall there is a lot more freedom here," said John Eledge '89. " Now I can go places in the school without being escorted by a teacher. Last year we had to be walked to the lunchroom. Just being here has made me like high school.

"My parents' biggest protest is about my curfew," said Scott Flickinger '89. " Every Friday night it's the same old thing. They want me home by 11, but I want to stay out until at least 12:30. They never give in, and this causes me to have fights with them every weekend.'' Others found their parents to be more concerned with grades than anything. " My parents put a lot of emphasis on my grades, and when I got a bad American Studies grade, they were really upset," said D'Lynn Conner '89. " I was grounded for a MAKING THE GRADE, Travis Walker proudly shows his first quarter report card t o his mother, Linda Walker. "BE HOME BY MIDNIGHT!" Exclaims Jani Bintz's mother, Diana Bintz.

"My parents never seemed to mind if I dated or not. But now that the ninth grade is at the high school, they're putting restrictions on me," said Krissy Love '89. "They won't let me date juniors or seniors until next year because they don't think I'm mature enough yet." Getting rides from high school friends also caused parents to protest. "My parents make it clear that I am not to be in anyone's car because they don't think teenagers can drive well enough," said Jani Bintz '89. 144 Freshmen Fauble-Johnson ents hat ~Y Pargo to Pe 't~ When I ar •es and come ho The me late. .

Of 90 freshmen polled, 72 said they feared something on their first day of high school. Thirty of the 72 said these fears were caused by the "dreadful swirlee list" and the thought of nasty upperclassmen out to tor· ment freshmen. After a few days, though, freshmen discovered the upperclassmen's " hit list" was no more than a rumor. "The older kids just seem to be too busy to have time to harass us , "said Melanie Judkins '89. While 30 of the freshmen ranked being picked on as their greatest fear, another 30 said they feared getting lost. But freshmen found the upperclassmen to be quite helpful. " I was really relieved when a senior helped me find some of my classes," said Charity Midkiff '89. " It made my first day a lot less scary. " The sense of belonging that seemed out of reach for the freshmen in August soon became a reality. "Before I came to school, I thought I was going to get lost and wouldn't know anybody," said Laura Rocha '89, " but now that I'm here , I love it!

For some, a headstart on high school meant a headstart in certain classes. " There are a lot more classes offered than in junior high," said Scott Sanders '89. "I'm in debate, but I wouldn't have had this opportunity if the switch hadn't been made. " More opportunities in sports also were available. "By playing freshmen basketball, I'm getting the opportunity to have better coaches and better experience for JV at AL," said TO PROVE A POINT, Vickie Gilman, Julie . Mankin, Rob Traylor and Lisa Harrison exchange information from phone calls made to metro area schools. The four wrote editorials for Journalism 1 class on the need for longer lunches. Sandi Freeman '89. Freshmen were also surprised at the variety of clubs offered to them a year early. "I couldn't believe all the clubs listed in the student handbook," said Priscilla Leu '89. "I'm in German Club and German wasn't even offered at Kirn. " All in all, freshmen found they were getting an extra year of all the things that make high school fun. " I really like the fact that we are part of AL as freshman, because there are so many people and more friends," said Sheryl Anderson '89. "This way we get four years of high school life instead of three." Growing up Fast 149 GROWING PAINS ;: > ~ ' ... .,..,.- ~ t • • ,_, t • •( 'I • •, '. I "' I • '.I --ti~ ~)f ,. ~ !'

"If only I could drive . . . " was a thought that echoed in his mind as it did in the minds of many freshmen. "If I could drive, I would be on time more often," said Amy Feekin '89.

"I hate not being able to drive," said Chris Cihacek '89. "It's embarrassing having to be dropped off by parents at the mall or Taco John's and not be able to go cruising." Bumming rides from friends was a less embarrassing alternative, but often it was an inconvenient one. " I feel really bad asking my older friends to take me places," said Abby Wilmarth '89. " I don't like them having to go completely out of their way just to pick me up."

TESA (Teacher Effectiveness, Student Achievement) was a new staff development program in which 17 volunteers learned how to treat students equally. Q: Do you feel the TESA program is worth the time and money invested in it? A: " I think TESA is very worthwhile . I've been teaching for 14 years, and I think we lose contact with students unless we can establish some sort of equitability between the time we spend with top students and lower ability students. In my classes, which are usually lab situations, I find myself spending more time with the low students and not enough with the top students. TESA helped me realize this and make changes. " - Patti Ford, Home Economics " The TESA program is very practical because working with other teachers makes you try harder. Actually working to treat students equally in class is better than just listening to a professor lecture about the importance of doing so." - Chris Fink, Chemistry " I took the TESA handbook home and studied it for a whole weekend. I still didn't understand it. It seems to be too set up to do any good. The teachers being evaluated already know which students are going to be observed, so, of course, they won't make any negative responses to those students." - Don Scheibeler, English " I don't know much about TESA, but in my opinion, I don't think it is very worthwhile. It doesn't seem to be any different than what we already do in class, and I think it is too time consuming. - Don Whyte, English WEEKLY SCHEDULE.

As a result of a $513,000 loss in state aid, the school board was forced to cut 50 teaching positions and trim media, driver ed, and guidance budgets. Q: How do you feel about the budget cuts and the way they were handled? A: "Everything that was cut affects the students' education. I think there are several administrative positions which could have been sacrificed that would not have affected the flow of education." - Frank Diblasi, Trades & Industries "We knew certain areas of the budget had to be cut, and we accepted that fact. I ) think, however, that the cuts could have been handled in a much more humane way. Instead , the teachers maybe shouldn't have taken a raise. I don't know if this would have helped indefinitely, but some teachers might have been able to keep their jobs at least a year longer. I also don't think the new teachers should have been hired in the first place if they were just going to be laid off. This shows a definite lack of foresight." - Thomas Stull, Driver Education "They had just so much money to work with, and there wasn't anything else they could do. Mainly my feelings are of sympathy for those who are being cut. It's terrible that so many positions had to be eliminated. In my own household, there will be some added expenses due to the cuts in drivers education." - L'louise Bowman, French ONE OF THE LAST to be offered Driver Ed year round, Corey Ranslem gets ready to take a driving test. Budget Cuts 155 \ What do they say? The lead teacher concept was instituted this fall in core departments to give department heads more time and involve teachers in the curriculum. Q • Do you feel the lead teacher concept • has been helpful to the departments? A • Each department needs a spokesperson. I think, • however, that there were too many interpretations as to what the job of lead teacher entailed. Since there were so many interpretations, no one really knew if the job was getting done or not." - Cheryl Tousley, English " Unlike being a department head, the lead teacher concept allows the lead teacher time to do the duties. Having the extra two periods makes it a leadership position instead of a job nobody wants. The lead teacher concept recognizes a curriculum leader who teaches classes. Working with other teachers, the lead teachers write and bring back curriculum for approval. This is valuable because it gives teachers a more important role in planning curriculum. - Chris Wahl, English " I think it got off to a bad start. Some areas are given two periods to do their work, but the business lead teacher and some others are given only one. I ususally spend that period and a lot of my own time doing department work. To me, the time is very valuable . It's good that we have lead teachers, but unless we are allowed the time, I don't think much can be accomplished." - Wayne Norman, Business " I feel having a lead teacher in each department fills the communication gap between the administration and the teachers of a certain area . I have trouble distinguishing the lead teacher from the old department head, but I still feel it is a necessary position." - Steve Barker, Earth Science RUSHING TO HER CAR, Connie Byrnes, math lead teacher, leaves the building for a Monday morning meeting at Central Office.

Q: What was your main reason for supporting the closing of elementary schools? A: "We have to establish some sort of equity among the elementary schools. By closing the five elementary schools, we will be gaining money that was once tied up in maintenance to implement additional educational programs." - JoAnne Carrithers, Board Member "I don't think class sizes will increase to the point where it will become a problem. Our foremost financial concern was to alleviate as many problems caused by the budget cuts as possible, and by closing the five elementary schools, we are saving a considerable amount of money that will be used for overall better education in the SCHOOL BOARD.

They were members of TESA (Teacher Evaluation and Student Assessment), and their goal was to provide equal opportunity to all students. To achieve this equitability, the 1 7 members studied teacher behaviors, such as response opportunities (encouraging students to respond to questions); feedback (listening to and praising students); and personal regard (accepting students' feelings). At the beginning of the year, each teacher listed his or her five highest and five lowest achievers in a target class. Then the TESA teachers o bserve d each other and marked each time they used one of the teaching behaviors studied. The goal was that the observer's marks would be equally distributed among higher and lower achievers. ''TESA stresse s making less a chieving students accountable for what i~ taught," said Cheryl Tousley, TESA trainer. "Then the overall achievement rises as lower students start to apply their knowledge and higher ones become more competititve." TESA teachers noticed the difference in their teaching. "As a result of TESA, some of my students who were getting D's and F's are getting C's," said Chris Fink, chemistry teacher.

So the founders conjured up yet another hot-spot, the Old Kirn Gym. Jeff Kraft and Dave Tanous '86, disc-jockeyed and pulled in a whopping 240 teens, but they were mostly 13 and 14 year olds. " The music was great and we danced the whole time," said Katie McGuire '88, "But I wish there would have been more AL kids there. They're really missing something!"

Whispers wafted through the teach· ers' lounge, and reassuring pats on the back failed to ease anxious thoughts. But in classrooms, students didn't notice the wor· ried looks on the teachers' faces as classes went on as usual, and most students had no idea some of their instructors probably wouldn't be returning in 1986. At Central Office, administrators reacting to massive cuts in State aid poured over facts and fig· ures in an attempt to slice $2.2 million over the next two years from the already emaciated public school budget. After the smoke cleared and the Board of Education voted, 60 positions were eliminated, and many pro· grams terminated. AL teachers, who had long standing seniority, 166 Mini-Mag weathered the storm better than faculties at other schools. Only three instruc· tors, Jan Smith from busi· ness, Barry Coates from counseling, and Mike Tripp from English, were elimi· nated. "Even if you're the best teacher in the world, it doesn't matter if you don't have seniority, and I think that's wrong," said Tripp. esides the three job losses, five other AL faculty members were to be trans· ferred or reduced to part• time. The elimination of teach· ers sometimes meant the elimination or reduction of entire programs. In driver education, the district decided to cut three teachers and rotate a team of three between AL, Tee Jay, and St. Albe • The three instructors at AL hap· pened to be the three most senior, so they kept their Jobs. "AL and Tee Jay teach a total of 288 driving stu· dents per semester," said Tom Stull, driver's educa· tion teacher.

Lasting only 11 and a ha lf minutes, the raid killed 37 Libyans in an attempt to thwart Khadafy's reign of terror which intelligence sources found responsible for the murder of nearly 900 innocent people . Reagan received rave reviews back home from countrymen tired of hijackings and suicide bombings. "Khadafy's terrorism left us no other choice but to retaliate to secure American interests abroad," said Mark Schonberg '86. " I'd go to Libya myself and fight for our national integrity.

Construction of the dog track, shopping mall, Christian Home playground, and Broadway block guaranteed CB the start of something big. After 11 months of construction, the $18 million Bluffs Run dog track opened Feb. 27, attracting more than 6100 people. Long before expected, the track's betting handle reached $1 million in March, and Iowa West Racing Association made good on its promise and donated $100,000 to local organizations. Built to keep southwest Iowa shoppers in Iowa rather than Omaha, the Mall of the Bluffs also promised to attract people with its 500,000 square feet of speciality shops, restaurants, and five-screen theater. Across town, the Christian Home changed its image as a reform school and orphanage to a helping center for children in crisis by changing its name to Children's Square USA, instituting new programs, and building a playground. "The changes have improved the atmosphere and attitude at the Home," said Paula Dix '87, who served on the Youth Advisory Board. "We hope this will link the community and Children's Square." Another positive change took place when a block of dilapidated buildings, including the Crest Theater, was demolished at Fifth and Broadway to make way for new office buildings. "For years, people complained about the Crest junking up our city," said Reo Price '88. "It was a blessing to see that trashy place razed."

In the summer of 85, Wahl began construction of a mini mall. "I wanted something different from the all too complacent designs of newer buildings, so I decided on a western motif, " he said. The mall included several specialty shops such as Trendsetters, an ultra-modern styling salon complete with lighted floors and T.V. entertainment, and Michelle's, a fashion boutique for teens. Students who stopped in the mall liked it. "The mall is classy yet very personable . The people there take time to make you feel welcome and comfortable," said Kerry Over '86. The mall also provided entertainment in the form of Mosquito Creek Saloon, with a cozy atmosphere for dancing, and The Video Station, with movies for any occasion, taste, or style. Convenience also added to the popularity of the mall. "With the mall so close to school, shopping there is fun because it's quick and easy," said Cathy Morrison '86. Completion of the new Bluffs Mall was expected to better the business of the Madison Avenue Village Mall. "There will be more people in the area than ever before, and that means more business for everyone, "said Wahl.

Children's Square U.S.A. , formerly known as the Christian Home, located on two square blocks at North Seventh and Avenue E., had been making changes since 1969, and Discovery Park, a playground filled with streams and fountains, slides and swings, was the latest of these changes. " It's mainly for younger kids, " said Gary Emenitove, a public relations worker for Children Square U.S.A. "With Discovery Park, we hoped to give children a chance to grow." Other changes at the Christian Home helped to transform the old orphanage and adoption agency into a modern residential center for kids of all ages, who for one reason or another, found themselves in a crisis. Programs varied from short term crisis care for abused and neglected children to long term crisis care provided in residential cottages. "The group homes each hold seven children and are located in Council Bluffs and Harlan," said Ann Crowl, director of volunteers and alumni. " Although our shelter can hold up to 17 children, it's only on a temporary basis and we like to keep a few extra openings in case of an emergency." Although the shelter was open to all children, it provided mainly a place for teens to stay while things cooled off at home .

Located at 547 W. Broadway, the theater closed its doors Nov. 24, after being sold to the city for $110,000 to make way for urban renewal. Two weeks after the demolition of the theater began, a fire swept through the two-story building Feb. 4, gutting the interior. Originally known as the Liberty and then called the Iowa Theater, the building was constructed during WW I by the Dodge Family Estate. Family films were shown until 1970, when new owners Joella Cohen and Jordan Ginsburg turned the building into an Xrated adult theater. During its years as an X-rated movie house , the theater generated considerable protest after personnel allowed minors in and showed controversial films such as "Deep Throat," "I am Curious (Yellow)," and "Sex Rituals of the Occult. " The last film resulted in a fine of $1,000 for violating the Iowa obscenity law. "I was always embarrassed whenever I would drive by the theater with my friends from Omaha because the building and its surroundings looked so out of place and there were always weird people around it, " said Maureen Liggett '86. BULLDOZERS plow through the remains of the Crest after the Feb. 4 fire. Below, the Crest block awaits construction of the new office building. 190 WELL KNOWN by X-rated movie lovers and Citizens for Decency protesters, the Crest awaits demolition after 16 years of controversy.

It all started in September with a new principal, a threestory addition, and 358 freshmen, and as the year progressed, academic departments, athletic teams, and organizations started big traditions by achieving goals never before reached. A final look at Principal Fred Frick's binders containing copied letters of congratulations revealed that individuals and groups had received recognition for more than 2,000 local, state, and national accomplishments. The list of achievements ranged from the varsity boys' soccer team completing an undefeated season and capturing the Zenon Cup to The Echoes winning the State Writing Sweepstakes and sports editor Mike Hartfield placing first in the nation for newswriting. In light of such accomplishments, Frick chose to present the entire student body with the Clio Award for outstanding excellence. Although the award had always been given to the one organization bringing the most recognition to the school, Frick said the administration couldn't narrow its selection to one group because so many were successful in 1986. Teachers also received recognition as the school board presented three out of five district-wide Awards of Excellence to AL teachers, journalism instructor Linda Smoley was named Council Bluffs Teacher of the Year, and chemistry instructor Chris Fink was named Iowa Chemistry Teach er of the Year. At the beginning of the year, we were bigger than before. Our student body and f acuity had grown by nearly a fourth and our building had suddenly sprouted a new wing. But by year's end, we were more than physically bigger. Together we had grown bigger in our pursuit of excellence. We had started something really big - a tradition of pride and achievement that would continue for years. = ........................... ,,_. - "OH MY GOSH!"

When the pressure is on, I always try my hardest. J,J Jolie Schmoker " TASTE THIS," Shannon Snipes tells Annette Neff while Sheila Musgrove and Dennis Nielsen sample other goodies at the Christ mas Dance refreshment table. 2 Opening New rules, tight budgets turn pressured students, harried teachers into ... uietly encircling us, a monster of many faces sought to get the best of us. It attacked us in the form of increased expectations, frightening but exciting new technology, and ever tightening budgets. In a year of increased demands on students and teachers, we knew the monster was pressure, and we refused to let it get the best of us. Instead, we insisted that it glean the very best from us. New pressures on students included a rule that they must pass 5 Y2 classes to participate in extracurricular activities. Barring 606 students from a week of participation during first quarter, the rule caused enough students to examine and improve their study habits that only 406, or 4.6 percent, of all grades given for first quarter were F's. ''When I got my downslip in history, I went to the teacher to find out what I could do to improve my grade," said Doug Hoover '89. "He told me I needed to study harder and longer for tests, which I did, because I certainly didn't want to miss a week of swing choir again." Another form of pressure came not from a new rule, but from strict enforcement of an old one. If a student missed 15 days of a class, he was to be dropped from it with an F. Although at the end of the first semester, more than 40 students had dropped out of school, many others faced the pressure by forcing themselves to attend classes regularly. " I had to change after I almost drqpped out," said Todd Sanders '88. "I always used to put assignments off, but that eventually caught up with me.'' " THEY'RE ALMOST RIPE," Chr!s Henry tells Jeff Matter as the two rehearse their parts as fathers of two star-crossed lovers in The Fantasticks. Meanwhile, Jaime Weilage, playing the mute, holds up an imaginary wall between them. TO SIGNIFY THE START of Homecoming week, student council members Vicki Gilman, Jill Tilley, and Stacy Woods put together cards which say " The Wild Life - Homecoming 1986" to hang on the antennaes of all the cars in the parking lot on Monday. PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES, Homecoming court member Laurie Milford decorates her car for the car rally. Opening 3 ''The eligibility rule pressures people who used to sluff off.

Chorus members Teresa Jaussi and Kristi Pedersen make sure their hats are secured before the Nov. 6 production of Little Mary Sunshine.

Homerooms collected 4422 items worth about $3537, an all time record. ~--- 'ettet~ continued "All the assignments I had missed started to snowball, and I was stuck in a huge mess where I thought the only solution was to drop out. Now I have to keep up, or else.'' One group of students actually went looking for pressure. In their quest for a more professional newspaper and an escape from the high cost and long wait of professional typesetting, the Echoes staff purchased new Macintosh computers on which they did their own typesetting. To complete the process, editors had to spend many nights past midnight at Central Office printing and formatting stories on the district's laser printer. "Although it's hours and hours of added work, we can make more last minute decisions about what to put in the paper now, just like they do in a professional newsroom,'' said Taryn Bixler '87, co-editor of the Echoes. "One issue, several stories ran long, and Todd (Fox '87, co-editor) and I decided that instead of cutting all of them, we would add two pages to the paper on a whim. I just dragged home a computer and we worked nonstop all weekend.'' Like never before, teachers faced budgetary restrictions in the form of reduced paper usage. At the end of the first quarter, English teachers discovered they had already printed more copies than their allotment for the entire year. Barred from the copy machine, they had to find new methods of testing and teaching. "One new thing I did because of the budget cuts was give an oral semester exam," said Mike Tripp, English instructor. "I don't think any of the kids had taken an oral semester test before· They really had to study and know the material to do well." With the monster attacking us from all directions, some might have thought we would break, but we refused to let that happen. We turned things around and made sure pressure pulled the best from us.

During summer's lazy days, getting life's best might have meant simply soaking up enough rays to get the most gorgeous tan around and working enough hours to save up for new clothes or a car. But once school started, giving our best to life meant filling our days with challenging courses, studying hard, and getting involved in extracurricular activities. ''Besides taking tough classes like calculus and honors English and working part time, I am involved in debate, newspaper, and National Honor Society,' ' said Heidi Hamilton '87. "My days are pretty full, but I don't really mind the pressure, because I think you have to give something to get something.'' Special events provided chances for us to give our best. Robert Tompkins '87, for example, told his Foreign Exchange Club he didn't like the usual construction paper and balloon background for Christmas Dance pictures, so he built and wallpapered a set made to look like someone's home, complete with a lighted window and tree. "Most people were concerned with what kind of music they wanted to hear, but that's not important," he said. "Twenty years from now, no one is going to remember whether the music was good, but they'll always have their pictures.'' Whether it was a Monday filled with classes and work or a Saturday taken up with decorating, competing, or practicing, those who wanted life's best gave their best. ll I know the administration and the custodians weren't too happy when the school was tee peed for Homecoming, but I think most people realize it has become a traditional way to -show spirit around here. •J Scott Flickinger ;#1 DREAMS OF A WHITE HOMECOMING came true when this scene greeted students Monday morning, Oct . 13, after about 20 student s had used 80 rolls of toilet paper to tee pee the school after midnight on Sunday in celebration of Homecoming week.

Crushing waves of heat and animal smells oppressed the boys as they got out of the truck, yet they had never consi dered staying home. Like thousands of others, they had migrated north up Highway 6 in the dead heat of July to ride rides, spend money on games, scope out members of the opposite sex , watch the demolition derby, and see the hot air balloons get swallowed up in the sunset. After taking quick peeks at 4-H displays, they sauntered down the main drag, snarfing cotton candy, hot dogs, and popcorn, admiring the long golden legs of female passersby, and occasionally submitting to the rousing carnies, who screamed, " Step right up! Take a chance!" Gobbled up by chances, food, rides, and girls, the boys' bucks slipped through their fingers, just as the summer was doing. MISS IT!

Yawning and ~tretching as she rolled around rn her rumpled sheets, Sheila Eyberg '88, lazily cracked an eyelid, letting in some late morning sun. She took a half hour to persuade herself to get motivated and carry out the day's plans, especially when her bedroom w~s so comfortable and quiet. She stumbled to the bathroom in a daze, a condition most students caught on the first day of summer vacation. " We always had plans to go to the Westroads or to the pool, but most of the time, I ended up in the backyard or watching soaps," she said. Other ways students enjoyed their time off were going to see box office hits such as Ferris Buel/er's Day Off and To~ Gun boogying at the ever-popular Sprite Nit~ and the Depot, and of course, socializing at parties. But shopping, tann ing, and partying weren't the only things students did during the summer. Having fun required money, so they had to hold steady jobs. A poll of 205 students showed 130 spent time working, with 89 putting in HOT SUMMER NIGHTS. Eddie Lee and Todd Fox enjoy the glamour of being seen by girls in James Holly' s '66 Pontiac Le Mans convertible at cruising hot spot, Taco Bell. more than 30 hours per week, hours that could have been spent dozing in the sun . Having a summer job meant being on a schedule, and most often, students felt like robots. The only times their batteries went dead and lights shut down was on a day off. "I worked construction, so rainy days were the best! Although I had to stay inside, I really appreciated the extra sleep!" said Rick Miller '89. The days dragged by. Of course the laid-back vacationers had fun , but there were times when working and lounging just weren 't enough to keep them going. The boredom sank in, and then ... Crash! The end hit like a load of bricks! Two weeks and school would start. Talk about schedules! Talk about robots! "Robot Registration" was an experience many students would never forget, as they trudged in single file lines from station to station, gathering such items as schedules, bus cards and parking stickers. And so the two-week countdown began. For most, it would include last minute shopping, haircuts, suntann ing, and lest we forget, snoozing. WHOA!

But at the same time, another part of us was ready to give up the lazy, sometimes boring summer afternoons for busy school days filled with pep assemblies, friends, and classroom pranks. The transition from quiet days to busy crazy days came quickly, and because first week temperatures didn't reach above 85 degrees for the first time in three years, there was no relief from school in the form of half days. Easing into the year was also less possible due to summertime registration. "Because we got our schedules in the summer, the first day was like any other, filled with homework and lectures," said Steffany Hutchens '88. In an attempt to give upperclassmen a student lounge, underclassmen faced a special adjustment because their study hall was moved to the dimly lighted and often noisy gym balcony. " Study hall is awful," said Heidi Neighbors '90. "It's to hard to concentrate with the screaming from P.E. classes, so all students. "I took full loads my sophomore and junior years, so I could have extra study halls for drama my senior year," said Chris Henry '87. "Now I have to take classes I don't need credits for." Though students were confronted with many changes the first month of school, one thing had remained the same - the anticipation of the first varsity football game. "When summer gets boring, I look forward to Friday night footbal l games," said Margee Nagel ' 89 . " Everybody goes, so the crowd is always loud and crazy." Dampened by new school policies and the renewed nightmare of homework, September was a month made bearable by letting loose with friends .

On Oct. 8 we skipped school to converge on the grand opening of the Mall of the Bluffs. On Oct. 12 and 16, we covered every bush, tree, shrub, and fence on campus with 128 rolls of toilet paper to celebrate Homecoming our way. On Oct. 31 we dressed as Greek muses and ladies of the night and traipsed across town to visit haunted houses despite cold, rainy weather. "This month went really fast," said Christine Wagman '87. "We got involved in more activities and had a lot of fun ." After months of waiting for the new Mall of the Bluffs to open, Oct. 8 finally arrived, and band and choir members excused themselves from class to take part in the festivities . Complete with 15,000 balloons , a speech by Governor Terry Branstad, and Performances by Lynx musicians, the ceremony kept the crowd in suspense a few moments longer. Finally, the Marching Lynx led the crowd, including dozens of AWOL students, into the vast walkways of the mall. "It was really incredible," said Tanya Rocheleau '88. "We ran from store to store, trying to see everything, and we even got lost. It was so exciting. We felt AS A REMINDER to students to dress up for " Wildlife" day Tuesday, Todd Fox runs from c lass to class dressed as a Lynx to attract attention.

Throughout the halls, bits of colored confetti littered the floor. Everywhere, balloons floated from class to class bearing the mall's slogan "Talk of the Town." And talk we did. Second in size only to Westroads, the new mall generated more conversation than our weekend adventures, and opinions ranged from indifferent to enthusiastic. "I really like the mall," said Beth Ranney '88. "There are so many shops there, and it's a lot better than Midlands Mall. The theaters are nice, too, and I love to go to the pet store there." But others were not so impressed. "I'm disappointed in the mall," said Barb Leu '87. "I can't find any clothing I like made of cotton or wool, or of decent quality. I keep going there, hoping I'll find something I like, but everything is either acrylic, polyester, or poorly made." Yet no one disputed that the mall's location was absolutely perfect. Just three blocks away, it gave us the feeling we had our own personal mall, created especially for after-school rendezvous and evening excursions. (continued on page 14) AND THE RACE IS ON! With smiles as bright as their outfits, candidates for Homecoming queen 1986 pose in the courtyard. Pictured are Laurie Milford, Shelly Brooks, Anne Dryden, Andrea Darveaux , and Tracy Machmuller. L fo A sign of the times Spirit Y elling , school songs , and cheerleaders were the basics of pep rallies , but we spiced up the recipe with skits and crazy competitions. We watched athletes compete like never before as they dribbled basketballs to the middle of the gym, skateboarded the rest of the way across on their stomachs, and stumbled back as human " wheelbarrows. '' We laughed as they tricycled to the end of the gym and, without hands or utensils, ate ice cream out of a bowl, found the cherry at the bottom, and then rolled frozen oranges covered in baby oil, back with their faces. And no one could forget the first pep rally of the year when James Holly '87, dressed as a Lynx mascot, chased Jeff Matters '87, who pretended to be a Lewis Central Titan, until finally catching up with him and dumping him in a garbage can. " We did our best to think of fun things to do at the pep rallies that everyone would enjoy," said Lori Barritt '87, varsity cheerleader. CHOW TIME! Scott Sanders yells encouragement as Mike Moats attempts to eat ice c ream without using his hands, during a pep rally competiton. October 13 Continued ild, wild life No sooner had we initiated the mall than Homecoming was upon us. It started with dress-up days, on which we came to school as playboy bunnies, masked murderers, and emperors in togas. The theme for Homecoming, "Wildlife," authorized us to act our craziest, and at a car rally and dance on Thursday night, we did just that. "The dance at Bayliss Park was like our special night to show off," said Peggy Streepy '88. " Everyone was having fun dancing and acting crazy, and it didn't matter that people could see us because we were showing off our school spirit and pride." A losing season and cold, rainy weather couldn't prevent us from turning out to support our team against Omaha Central on Friday night. Huddled together on hard, unyielding bleachers, we cheered and chanted, and though we lost 56 to 6, our spirit dldn't diminish. During half-time we saw Tracy Machmuller '87, crowned Homecoming queen by her sister Wendy, last year's queen. As the crown passed from sister to sister, the crowd roared with approval. Finally, it came time for the dance on 14 Student Life Saturday night, and we entered the big gym, miracuously transformed by crepe paper and balloons into a dance hall. "Homecoming wasn't as good as it was two years ago, but it was a lot better than last year," said Linda Bottrell '87. "The music was really good. They played a variety of songs. It wasn't just the same old thing you hear on the radio all the time." With the end of October came Halloween, providing us with yet another opportunity to go wild and have fun. Some of us went trick-or-treating, while others went haunted house hunting. Still others helped build the haunted houses, and some just partied. " I helped build a maze and put up walls for nine rooms," said Loren Knauss '90, who worked on his church ' s haunted house. "It was hard work, but a lot of fun . The best part was scaring everyone." But whatever we did, all of us made the most of what seemed to be a brief month. October came and went before we knew it, but its memories of wild times and laughter would stay with us for years to come, safely locked away in the corners of our minds. WHAT'S GOING ON?

But few students shone as brightly as Holly Pechacek '88, and James Holly '87, in the school musical Little Mary Sunshine, Nov. 6-8. "I was so nervous and anxious for opening night," said Pechacek. "I had never been in a play before, and all of a sudden, I had the lead and this maximum number of lines. But after the play, all I could do was wait for swing choir performances in early December. November was so dead." While students waited for November to liven up, they decided to give a little of themselves. On Nov. 5 they lined up, lay down, and donated 65 pints of blood to the Red Cross. As November kicked off its second Week, students' hopes peaked as the girls' basketball team snatched a victory from Tee Jay at the Glenwood Jamboree, starting winter sports on a positive note. I I \ But hopes crashed as both boys' and girls' varsity teams found themselves on the losing end of the court in seven of their first ten games. "After such a depressing football season, both teams really wanted to get off to a good start," said Lisa Koenig '89. "It looked like we might have something to cheer about in the beginning of the season, but then we just couldn't seem to get it together." But a winning season wasn't the only thing that seemed destined to make a late arrival. First scheduled for distribution on Nov. 9, report cards were delayed two times before the Nov. 14 appearance, just 11 short days prior to the long awaited Thanksgiving vacation. That six-day break we had all waited for arrived right on time with turkey, dressing, and all the traditional goodies. Still the waiting didn't end. The smell of turkey grew faint; tinsel, lights, and stockings lit the way for December; and we were left waiting for Christmas Dance and Santa Clause.

"In October we went to football games," said Steff Hutchens '88. " Now we spend about $14 a month at the theater 'cause there's nothing else to do." November saw the opening of two hoLflicks - Crocodile Dundee, about a legendary Austrailian crocodile hunter, and Peggy Sue Got Married, the story of a woman who gets the chance to relive her senior year in high school. But Top Gun, which rocketed to the top of box office sales charts in early July, was still flying high with students. "I saw some of tne new movies, but Top Gun was still better," said Amelia Johnson '88. "With the music, Tom Cruise, and the flight scenes, I got caught up in the story." Movies were popular all year but as November rolled in, even more students stood in line for tickets, popcorn, and fun. "A CARTOON? NO WAY! What do you mean you want to see American Tall?''

After the last o.f their Thanksgiving turkeys were devoured, students returned to school, anxiously anticipating two weeks of daytime soaps, Christmas cookies, and the "bubbly" on midnight of the 31st. A December day didn 't pass without the low murmur of toes tapping and voices whispering during seventh hour as students awaited the afternoon bell, freeing them to pounce on malls near and far with wads of green stuffed in their mits. LOOKIN' GOOD. Swing Choir gleefully performs " Up On The Housetop" for afternoon shoppers at the Mall of the Bluffs Dec. 18. Soon, the presents to be bought, dance outfits to be chosen , and party preparations to be made started to take their toll on everyone's good cheer. "I was fed up with life! I wished it could be the last day of school forever," said Kyle Everroad '90. Yet, enough Christmas spirit remained to lock students into a fierce contest between homerooms to help the needy in the Student Council Food Drive. Journalism, concert choir, and ac - counting students were top competitors in the drive, in which the homeroom donating the most food to the needy would win a pizza lunch on the student council. When students finished rummaging through cupboards, canvassing neighborhoods , and treking through local stores hunting for bargains, they had collected 4422 items worth $3537 .

At Clark's house and many others, a family Qethering and enormous meal were holiday traditions. But other families started some not-so-common traditions. Julie Mankin '89, and her two sisters have indulged in a Mexican fiesta of tacos every Christmas Eve since 1981 . "After years of traveling over Christmas, the first year we stayed at home my parents asked us what one single thing in the world we wanted for dinner, and we said tacos," Mankin said. Another family made a tradition out of the disposal of their Christmas tree. "Every year after the holidays, we take our tree out to the woods and burn it to smell the pine. I really missed having a real tree this year," said Kari Suden '89. WHACK WHERE? Mike Cooper positions his saw t o cut do wn his fami ly 's tree at the Bee Bee Town Tree Farm.

Instructor Bob Burns' accounting students and Linda Smoley's journalism students won the pizza lunches. Incentive to organize another competition for a special cause soon developed when freshman Michael Stone's death, due to cancer, was announced on Dec. 6. Rob Neilsen '88, and Jerry Cundiff '88, members of the Dead Road Gophers intramural basketball team, got permission to play a faculty team and donate the proceeds to establish a scholarship in Stone's name. The Dead Road Gophers triumphed over the faculty 37-30, earning over $750.

February 25 -------------- ----------- - / / A sign of the times The blues I twas that endless season when the snow didn't blow and the sun didn't shine, but the rain kept rainin'. It was third quarter. After days upon days of dreary wet weather that bruised our spirits, it was easy to let ourselves slump in our chairs and nod off into the "Twilight Zone" during a lecture, leaving spittle on our notebooks. "Some teachers spend the whole period telling us their life's story instead of explaining the assignment, so why not catch up on zzz's?" said Jeanette Pruett '90. At the end of third quarter, the honor rnll showed that 15 percent of first quarter academicians had snoozed during one too many lectures and lost their place on the prestigious list. In addition, the daily absence list grew 68.5 percent from first quarter, from an average of 70 students per day to 118 per day. Third quarter - the struggle seemed endless, but if we looked far enough ahead, fun, carefree days were just around the corner.

Twenty minutes and $4 later, the snooze ended. Her time was up. She dressed reluctantly, sprayed the tanning bed with disinfectant, and walked out of the salon. During the long three-month stretch between Christmas and spring break, fantasies such as Smith's became more important than ever to preserve the sanity of teachers and students pressured with accelerated publication deadlines, vocal and band contests, forensics competitions, frenzied money making projects, . and Prom plans. Some students skipped class, some took leave for a whole day, and some stayed in class, but their minds focused on something else or some other place. " My boyfriend and I were fighting a lot, and I was too depressed to stay in school all day," said Sarah Wohlt '89. Members of Grace Presbyterian Youth Group took a longer break with school approval to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for an extended weekend of fresh air and beautiful mountain scenery. Although two members had collisions that tore ligaments, the trip provided a special getaway for all. " It felt good to be away from the monotony of school, make new friends from other youth groups, and spend time to myself. Even though I was on crutches after my wreck and couldn 't ski, I still was able to participate in the rest of the fun ," said Mishelle Allmon '89. For those who had to remain in Council Bluffs, the drudgery of March wore on, relieved just a little by the antics of one intramural basketball team. The Caucasian Invasion entertained us all, complete with cheerleaders, P.A. announcer, team coach, team dietitian, team owner, team mascot, equipment manager, and as of the final tournament, a team trophy. With all its craziness, the team took the game more seriously than most people realized. "Even though I know I have to be ready to play by 7: 15 a.m., I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep j ust thinking about the game in the morning," said Mike Boone '87. Boone wasn't the only student with the jitters, as many worried about raising third quarter grades, scoring well at music contests, getting accepted into NHS, and finding a date to Prom. But Mother Nature managed to relieve some of our tensions, at least temporarily, when she dumped 13 inches of snow on the metro area, giving us a vacation from work and school on the last two days of this hectic month.

Continued • • rom-1s1ng When students weren't engrossed in making plans for Prom , they were looking forward to moments out of class , and April was a month of many. On April 7, the Air Force Band rocked the roof off the gym with its modern sound during an assembly. The very next day, students blew the roof off the auditorium with applause for the Abe Lynx Follies . Acts such as Chopsticks, The Pet Shop, The Movies, and Philipe's Diner had the audience rolling in the aisles, but the audience really started rocking when Zetta Brown '87 , Jeanette Mitchell '90, Vergarie Sanford '87, and Barbara Sandford '90, started groovin' to Janet Jackson 's number one hit, "Control." "We've always had a lot of dancers, but never quite like them!" said Chris Henry '87 . " They were so energetic and had sharp moves. The audience wasn 't watching the clock; they were moving with the music!" The rest of the month was spent clock watching as Prom night got closer and closer. When the big night finally arrived , students were busy making last minute preparations , right down to the finest detail. When all the boutonnieres were pinned , all the camera-happy moms satisfied with the millions of pictures taken , couples were off to that romantic dinner and a night to remember. After students walked through a forest of multi-colored balloons and followed a trail of musical notes and stardust glitter, they entered the ballroom through a paper-mache jukebox , ready to boogie to the tunes from All-American Music Shows. For those who didn't enjoy dancing, Prom night had much more to offer. Instead of spending 40 bucks for a motel room and I or drinks, couples could spend $2 for an evening in "Las Vegas " - AL style, and bet, bargain, win , and lose in carnival games, raffles, casinos , and auctions at the Post Prom Party. With the Booster Club raising $2271 and a benefit basketball game between the Caucasian Invasion and the Z-92 All Stars raising $1200, the Booster Club was able to spoil the 457 students who attended with grandiose prizes such as a compact disc player, a VCR , a Buick Regal, and various nights out on the town , all expenses paid. Rudy Scherzinger '87, stayed the entire length of Post Prom , collecting enough play money to spend at the auction, and he went home with a new VCR and dinner for two at Spaghetti Works. " I went with a bunch of my friends and spent most of the time in the casino or eating ," said Scherzinger. " We were having so much fun , I wish the night would have lasted forever!

April 31 A sign of the times Party! I n planning for their graduations, seniors had no doubt as to what they would be doing after the ceremony June 2. But when thought turned to open houses, confusion was a common emotion. " I couldn't really decide whether or not to have one," said Stephanie Hilty '87. "I finally did, but I really wanted to go to other people's open houses instead of hanging around at mine all day." Some seniors chose not to have an open house at all. " I didn't want the hassle of having to plan an open house, an I thought it would be boring," said Beth Miller '87. " So I decided not to have one." Whether they chose to have an open house or not, seniors knew what they were going to do graduation night. " I plan on having the wildest, wackiest party night I have ever had in my entire life," said Craig Stueve '87, and with this plan, most seniors concurred. OPEN FOR A CELEBRATION.

Twenty-three days left of school!" exclaimed Kelly Yost '87, as she dreamily marked the days off on her pocket calendar. The last weeks of school found many students counting the days, and for the Class of '87 , " senioritis" had struck. " It was hard to concentrate on school," said Jeff Matter '87. "I didn't want to do any of my homework." But while visions of summer threatened to catch many seniors with their heads in the clouds , activities of school 's final month and preparations for graduation kept their feet firmly on the ground . Pride Week, held May 11 through 16, brought "Pride in Iowa Beaches " day, and on Friday evening, students flocked to the track to participate in the student council-sponsored Hawaiian luau. Dressed in their brightest summer attire, students were in a festive spirit as they danced to live music, played sandvolleyball, and went from booth to booth trying for prizes. " I liked playing all the games at the booths," said Jay Butterbaugh '90. " I won six prizes at just one booth."

" Now, no one can take his head off." Finally, June 2 arrived, and seniors clad in caps and gowns marched two by two into the big gym. Tears fell as the class listened to swing choir sing "Maybe Someday, " and five seniors gave farewell speeches. Senior boys whistled and swayed from side to side when for the third time, the microphone went dead ; and laughter erupted when Jeff Hahn '87, with diploma in hand, turned a cartwheel. After the last senior accepted her diploma, all eyes turned to executive student council president Todd Fox, who gave the long-awaited signal. After turning their tassels to the right and tossing beer caps into the air, the Class of '87 marched out together one last time . For them, the countdown was over.

At State, boys' cross country made both individual and team accomplishments, as Paul Grafelman '89, placed sixty-third to pace the team to a fifteenth place finish. "We put pressure on ourselves so we could make it to State, which was our main goal," said Grafelman. Volleyball also had an outstanding season as the girls became the winningest team in AL history, making it to sub-State and setting individual records before getting stopped by third ranked Sioux City North. "We weren't expected to do well, but after a great season, we gained a lot of confidence," said Marsha Hoffman '88. "I was proud of the fact that I tied the school record for serving with a 98.8 percent, because when you serve, it's just you against the other team. " The swim team also sent four people to State. Michelle Hughes '88, placed tenth in the 200 free-style and ninth in the 500 free-style, while the 400 free-style relay team of Hughes, Jane Johnson '90, Stephany Schaben '89, and Terri Smock '90, placed twenty-fourth. " I thought it was great that I made it to State as a freshman," said Smock, " but now I feel pressured not only to make it to State again, but to do better." People under pressure, demanding the best from their bodies, also took both tennis teams to city championships, the wrestling team to a sixth place State finish, and boys' soccer to the Zenon Cup Semifinals.

Rolling out, Mike Moats looks for an open receiver as Steve Brockman prepares to b lock incoming defend e r s at the Homecoming game against Central. With youth, injuries, and lack of size, the Lynx tried, but couldn't escape ue "T his group right here realizes that anything can happen . It's a thrill some people can never feel. Every game, every play is for fun and for sayin' 'What the Hell. ' So go ahead and have a hell of a good game, guys!" The varsity team responded to that pep talk from Coach Bill Emsick with a roar of excitement before the Home - coming game against Central. But to an observer, talking about fun on every play may have seemed ridiculous . After all, the Lynx hadn't won since Tee Jay, and the outlook on beating Central, a Metro powerhouse, was bleak. And after four quarters of play, the outcome was a bleak 56-6 loss . "It was one of those games," said Joe Mass '87. " We'd either sink or swim, but we had fun doin ' it." But fun came only once in a while, as the team faced many problems - problems they couldn't overcome but learned to handle. Size was a problem from the start. Over half the teams the Lynx faced outsized them. Against South, for example, the average Lynx was three inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter. Besides, South had a running back who weighed 300 pounds. "It should have been a blowout," said Chris Pleake '89, of the 13-6 loss. "But the coaches helped us realize that size wasn't the most important factor. If you hit a person just right in the knees, they'll fall every time." The team also faced inexperience as it worked to replace 10 graduated seniors, including the quarterback, wide receiver, two cornerbacks, and several linemen, and had to replace most of them with juniors and sophomores. Yet, although the Lynx had fewer seniors go out for football than ever before, the underclassmen did a surprisingly good job. Mike Moats '89, for example, played quarterback and threw a pass for the only score in the Homecoming game. (continued on page 38) VARSITY AND JV FOOTBALL. FRONT ROW: Da· vid J ones, Andrea Poulos .

In addition to losses from injury, the Lynx lost players because of bad behavior. Seven players were kicked off the team because they were caught skipping practice for a beer party. "They slipped up on their second chance," said Mike Abel '87. "They were warned and knew what would happen." And just like the other problems, the team handled this one. In fact, the Lynx faced Central without five of their starters due to injury and bad behavior. But the varsity wasn't the only team plagued by problems. " The JV had a hard time getting things together," said Troy Scott '89. "One game, our defense would be bad, our offense good. The next game, Continued it would be the opposite." The JV team finished with a 1-6 record, and the JV B-team, made up of sophomores, finished with a 2-3 record . The freshman team suffered also, losing all of their games, finishing 0-8. "We had a hard time getting started in the first half of the game," said Chris Doner '90. "When we went into the lockerroom, the coaches would yell at us and tell us how bad we were. We would go on the field in the second half and do worse. But as the season progressed, the coaches began praising us for what we did right, and we improved." ALL RIGHT!

C onfidence under pressure, willingness to learn, and desire to work together - these ingredients transformed 10 girls expected to be mediocre into the winningest volleyball team in AL history. To no one's surprise, the team which lacked height and had never played together before sea-sawed between close wins and losses early on. But a turning point came at the Des Moines Invitational as the Lynx edged Tee Jay to win the title. "I don't think the smile fell off my face for four days," said Coach Mary Kyte. Only 48 hours later, the girls again showed their stuff as they faced the Jackettes at Tee Jay and trailed 7-14 in the deciding game. "We could have rolled over and played dead," said Julie Rhoades '88, "but for some ungodly reason, we knew we could come back . All we needed was confidence." The confidence rallied the girls to a 16-14 victory. Willingness to learn was important to this short team . Since the tallest player after 6'3" junior Kristi Anderson was only 5'10", the team had to learn to dig up more balls hit over short blockers . CONGRATS! After the Lewis Central sectional win, Julie Rhoades and Kristi Anderson share a hug as Jennie Tanous congratulates them. But practice and new techniques would not have succeeded without the team's desire to work together. " If someone got down, the team had to help get that player's confidence back," said Amy French '88. When Sectionals approached, the team had already won the Des Moines and Tee Jay Invitationals and finished third in Metro. Ranked 14th in Iowa, AL won close matches over Harlan, Tee Jay, and Lewis Central, with only third ranked Sioux City North standing in the way of a State berth . But winning would not be easy. The Lynx had to make a two-hour trip to Sioux City and play on North's court. "We upset some good teams this year," said Lisa Wilson ' 87, "but we knew North would not be easy to beat. " The sluggish Lynx dropped the first two games, a third game rally fell short, and North won the State berth . "Losing was indescribable, but we were proud of our achievements," said Wilson . Those achievements included team records for 27 wins and ace spikes, blocks, and sets . Individually, Anderson set a record of 447 ace spikes and 409 blocks with 185 aces, Dawn White, '88, had 577 ace sets , Wilson had 279 serves for points , and Marsha Hoffman served at 98.8 percent. v-J\n sum \ose sum VOLLEYBALL 27-8-7 AL OPP Sioux City E. 2 3 Sioux City W. 3 0 Roncalli 2 1 South 2 1 Tee Jay 3 2 Centr.al 2 0 Atlantic 3 0 Ralston 2 0 Millard N. 0 2 North 2 0 TOURNAMENTS Des Moines first Sioux City E. fourth Tee Jay first Metro third SECTIONALS Harlan 3 1 Tee Jay 3 0 Lewis Central 3 Sioux City N. 0 3 Volleyball 41 win sum lose sum CROSS COUNTRY BOYS 2·0 AL OPP Westside 19 44 Millard S. 20 36 GIRLS 0-2 Westside 35 19 Millard s. 37 18 INVITATIONALS BOYS AL second Lewis Central first Kuemper second Divisional first Harlan first Shenendoah second Mo.

Before he knew it, the gun went oft and he sprinted away, dodging puddles and sloshing in mud, on his way to an eighteenth place finish at Districts. It was a day Gratelman and his teammates had longed tor all season , for District results would determine whether the team would go on to State for the first time in fou·r years. Finally, the announcement came. With Grafelman's eighteenth place finish and juniors Bob Drummond's sixteenth place finish and Mark Wittland' s fifty-seventh place finish, the team captured a fourth place win and a State berth. " In going to State, we reached our main pre-season goal," said Grafelman, who was consistently rated in the top ten in the state by coaches . On the way to State, the boys managed to rack up a 4-0 dual record , championships from Lewis Central, Harlan, and divisional meets, and the honor of being rated second in southwest Iowa and tenth in Iowa. According to Coach Mick Freeman, who was voted Regional Coach of the Year, success came due to the increase in team participation from 15 last year to 26 and to the boys' ability to run in a tight pack. At Missouri Valley, for example, three of the five boys running finished within seconds of each other, moving other runners back and giving the team a second place win . "In addition to keeping other runners back, running in a pack helped us work harder because we wanted to beat each other to the finish line and get a higher placing, " said Wittland, who was also rated consistently in the top ten . The girls' team, on the other hand, suffered due to size. At Metro, tor example, seven of the nine girls ran varsity, leaving only two to run JV, thus giving the Lady Lynx an incomplete JV team. Injuries also hindered the team, with seniors Ann Kirlin and Amy Seaman out the entire season with knee problems. "Both their injuries hurt the team, " said Abby Wilmarth '89. "We knew we had to work ourselves harder to make up for their places." The team finished the year with a dual record of 2-4 and no invitational championships. OFF TO STATE!

But after that duel, too few seniors and too many injuries robbed the 6-3 team of the winning streak it needed to match the perfect record of three of the last five teams.

F irst half hopes evaporated into second half blues as AL went cold in a crushing 59-35 defeat to Creighton Prep in the Metro Holiday Tournament. Hopes had abounded for the Lynx as they trailed Prep by only seven points in the first half, but after the half, Prep outscored AL 33-16, and the Lynx shot a chilly 38 percent from the field . This game was but one example of how the varsity boys' basketball season went. With an 8-12 record, the Lynx endured a crushing defeat for every victory. A typical weekend occurred during the middle of the season when AL played two games against ranked teams.

"The key was our switch to a man-to-man defense and better rebounding in the second half." But weeks later, when the teams played Harlan in Districts, such winning strategies were nowhere to be found as the Lynx lost, 44-56. Basically, it was a season in which players found consolation in playing close games against top ranked teams. "In a couple of close games, we played well enough to lose by just a little," said Scott Nielsen '87 . "Millard North was ranked fifth in Nebraska and we lost by just one point in the final seconds.

"In one game we had 30 turnovers, and a lot of them ended up in points for the other team," said Jeff Hays '89. The team also battled the mixing of sophomores and juniors, resulting in several different skill levels. ''The loss of the sophomore athletic program made it very tough on the team," said Coach Mike Forbes, "and it was hard for the team to work together."

Unfortunately, the problem plagued Lady Lynx couldn't find a cure and ended the season with a 10- 11 record . The plague hit hardest against Northwest. Second team all-stater, Kristi Anderson '88, was out due to a sprained ankle; senior Lisa Wilson was benched due to a leg injury in the first two minutes of the game; and the team suffered from a severe case of the chills when no one player was able to get hot on the offensive end of the court. The fever continued until the buzzer sounded and the scoreboard showed a devastating 52-17 defeat. During the season, team members missed 54 quarters on account of sickness and injury. "It seemed like the same five people never practiced together at the same time because someone was hurt or sick," said Marsha Hoffman '88. "During games it showed when we made unnecessary turnovers because we weren't relaxed ." Despite their problems, the team generated some impressive statistics, setting new team records in varsity field goal percentage for a game, field goal percentage for the season, total rebounds in a game, and total blocked shots for the season. In addition, An - derson broke nine individual records . The junior varsity slipped by on top with a record of 9-8. "It seemed like everyone supported each other and stuck together really well this year," said Michelle Frick '89. "If we put our minds to it, we usually won, or at least had a close game." The freshmen also managed to come out on top with a record of 8-7. "The highlight of our season was when we played Saint Albert for the second time, " said Lori French '90.

N o one could fool Mother Nature, but by patiently waiting for wacky spring weather to improve, the tennis teams smashed their way to winning seasons. Spring showers delayed or postponed several matches and practices, but the effect on the boys' team was surprising. "Even though we missed so many practices," said Coach Mike Forbes, "the boys actually played better without them." A bleak outlook awaited the Lady Lynx until a new coach, Diane Anderson, was hired just a week before the season started to replace Cathy Crowl, who resigned. "We were worried we wouldn't have a coach at all," said Dawn White '88, "and we knew it would be hard getting used to a new coach because everyone liked Cathy Crowl so much. Fortunately, we got along great with Mrs. Anderson, who gave us her total support." Both teams posted winning dual records with the boys going 5-3 in the fall and 7-2 in the spring, and the girls finishing 6-4 against tough Metro competition. CONCENTRATION COUNTS as Christie Poe returns a shot against Westside. Poe won the # 6 singles at City. "I wasn't disappointed by our dual record because of our tough schedule," said Mrs. Anderson, "and I was very pleased by our City play." Indeed, after a rainy beginning, the teams basked in the sun at City. The boys edged Saint Albert by three points to capture the championship behind singles winners Rob Thomas '87, at # 4 and Kevin Malick '89, at #6. They also tallied four second places and three third place finishes to claim the title. "I thought we might have played a little better and won by more," said Shawn Brooks '89, # 1 singles runner-up, "but we thought we'd win, and it was great when we did." The girls captured the city crown by a wider margin as Marsha Hoffman '88, and White sparked the 29-point win by taking the # 3 and #4 singles, and combining to capture the #2 doubles. Other winners included Cindy Voss '87, at # 1, Michelle Frick '89, at # 2, and Christie Poe '88, at # 6 singles. Lori French '90, was the runner-up in the # 5 singles. "My most memorable moment was our # 2 doubles win against Lewis Central," said White. " We won the match despite Marsha skinning both of her knees and being nailed in the face by a ball.

The first boys ' trophy came from the Lewis Central Indoor meet, which the Lynx had felt they couldn't win going up against strong Metro teams like Ralston and Northwest. "We knew we had the ability," said Mark Wittland '88, "but we always felt intimidated by the Omaha teams."

Following that surprise victory, the Lynx made a clean sweep of all city meets, took three more invites, and sent seniors Mike Patten and Mike Carrithers to State. The biggest disappointment of the season , however, was the notification that seniors Dave Reed and John Larsen missed qualifying for State by two-tenths of a second. "It was a disappointment for those two because they had looked forward to it all season," said Coach Joe Hauser. Like the boys, girls experienced a successful season , finishing with a 2-0 dual record and an invite championship. "Our season was one filled with success," said Coach Mike Batten.

Another success occurred when the freshman girls captured first place at Metro, Batten attributed the team's success to senior leadership. "This was my funnest year, " said Lisa Wilson '87. "The team was close. When we were sophomores, we were treated terrible and we didn't want to treat people like that."

"I think that made it more fun for the girls, and they found some success they missed out on last year." . \N\n u sum Members of the boys' team felt increasing pressure from the opposing side of the field as they moved from the 'B' division to the tougher 'A', while the girls felt increased competition from their own bench. With the addition of seven new players, the girls' team gained the needed substitutes it never had last year, but players felt the effects of those seven enthusiasts vying for playing time. "From the first day of practice, I knew we were gonna be pushed harder by ourselves as well as the coach," said Jolie Schmoker '87. "I introduced Rachel Stageman to soccer and suddenly, she and other new players were competing with the experienced girls for positions . But the competition taught us how to respect other players and work together to win ." And win they did, improving their last year's 3-5-2 record to a 7-3-2 finish .

The boys also made the best of change, coming out of the season with a winning record and a birth into the Zenon Cup Semifinals , where they fell 3-4 to Millard North in shoot-out action. "It's a hard way to lose, but we had a good game and much better season than expected," said Richard Streepy '89. "Being first in 'B' division is a lot different than playing in 'A' division. With more physical play and greater need for ball control, 'A' division is tougher." Proof of the toughness came time and time again as coaches had to go to the bench , replacing injured players with inexperienced players. On the boys' team, defenders Scott Kenkel '87 , Tony Gift '87, and Streepy, the goalie, all missed at least one game due to injuries . In addition to tougher play, soccer players had to adjust to a new strategy. "Coach Cunningham had a new theory of soccer," said Rob King '89. " He wanted everybody to be defensive instead of just the final four field players. It confused us at first, but as the season went on, we got used to it and made it work for us ." \ose SU\\\ SOCCER BOYS 8-5 AL OPP Holy Name 4 1 Central 4 0 Papillion 3 2 Millard S. 0 1 Millard N. 3 0 Westside 2 1 Roncalli 6 0 Prep 0 3 Bellevue W. 1 0 Burke 0 3 Tee Jay 2 Ralston 2 4 GIRLS 7-3-2 North 3 0 Millard S. 3 2 Lincoln 7 0 Bryan 2 1 Holy Name 0 3 St. Joseph 1 1 Duschene 0 1 Tee Jay 1 Northwest 4 0 Central 1 0 Ralston 0 6 St. Albert 5 0 Soccer 59 YOU SAY RED, I SAY WHITE.

Cheerleaders and porn pon girls needed such diversions to provide relief during a frustrating year. When administrators moved pep assembl ies from morning to seventh hour, cheerleaders had to fight empty bleachers and low spirit since many juniors and seniors on short day failed to show up. The administration's shortening of pep assemblies from a full period to 30 minutes and use of some time for recognition of non athletic awards also irritated the girls .

" After practicing that early all summer, it just became part of our routine." Although cheerleaders didn't practice as much, they busied themselves dreaming up ways to enliven pep assemblies and embarrass students .

N ikes and Converses tromped down the court. Overworked lungs gasped for air. Sweat gushed out of every pore. How could anyone have such energy before 7:15 a.m.? "I wanted to play basketball really bad, so it wasn't that big of a sacrifice for me," said Robbie Collins '88. From Feb. 25 to March 26, Collins was part of an intramural basketball program that helped students release their energies before settling down in the classroom . With intramural basketball and a myriad of other opportunities for non-varsity sports competition, students kept active and in shape. Sponsored by instructor Dave Brown, the intramural teams sported names like Allen's Animals, Caucasian Invasion, Dead Road Gophers, READY AND WAITING, Todd Johnson watches for Dave Tornabane's Hoopsters, and Thump. In the final game between the Invasion and Thump on March 26, the Invasion came out on top with some back-up help. Besides fans, the Invasion sported cheerleaders, a P.A. announcer, team coach, team manager, and equipment manager rooting from the sidelines. " The cheerleaders and other members of the Invasion were there for support, playing the theme song and getting crazy," said Traci Leeper '88. "I think it got the guys hyped for an exciting game." While the Invasion played for sheer fun, others played for the love of basketball. "I didn't think I was good enough to play for AL, so instead, I played intramural basketball," said Jerry Cundiff '88, of the Dead Road Gophers.

Falling quickly behind bowling in popularity were softball, soccer, freestyle wrestl ing, and AAU basketball.

To the chagrin of many coaches and players, this question echoed every time another athlete succumbed to an injury. Abraham Lincoln High School began to look more like Abraham Lincoln General Hospital as athletes from virtually every sport were sidelined with pains, strains, and sprains . According to Coach Bill Emsick, eight football players were forced to sit out from one game to the whole season with injuries ranging from sprained ankles to a broken collar bone. Five female basketball players suffered similar fates. As a whole, injured players missed 56 quarters, or the equivalent of 14 games. Coach Dave Brown was even forced to scrimmage with the team on one occasion because he lacked enough healthy players. "For the first time in seven years, I had to scrimmage with one of my teams," said Brown. "Since the same people who started one game didn't always start the next, it was really hard to establish continuity during practice." Cross country runners and wrestlers couldn't escape from injuries either. Dave Reed '87, stumbled down a steep trail and broke his collar bone. "After I fell, I was very confused, " said Reed. "I didn't know what happened, but when I reached up and felt a lump in my collar bone, I knew something wasn't right." Wrestler Kim Knauss '88, missed action with a sprained knee. Knauss' injury was a blow to the team , since he was a sophomore letter winner. " Knauss' injury forced us to replace him with a less experienced JV wrestler," said assistant coach Tomas Lara. It was ironic that AL athletes seemed to experience so many injuries, since the metro area as a whole experienced fewer injuries than in past years, according to Ron Hald, sports physical therapist at University of Nebraska Medical Center. " We haven't had quite as many as other seasons because of the rain, " said Hald. "The players didn 't have a sure footing when they were hit, so they just slid ." Emsick blamed football injuries on hard playing. " Our boys tried hard, played hard, and got more bumps and bruises," he said . '1-·---- WORDS OF COMFORT. After spraining her ankle in the Central game, Kristi Anderson is consoled by Reo Price. While teams were obviously affected, the personal lives of injured athletes were often forgotten . Many discovered that simple, everyday tasks suddenly became impossible because -of their temporary handicap. " During volleyba ll I was on crutches for a week because someone stepped on my foot and sprained my ankle ," said Kendra Cory '90. "It took me forever to get dressed. Someone even had to help me put my jeans on. " Basketball player Kristi Anderson '88, faced even more inconveniences after she sprained her ankle. Every day fo r three weeks she had to ice it, wrap it, ice it again , keep it elevated, and soak it in a whirlpool. " I hated being hurt, especially when everyone would ask what happened, said Anderson . "If my ankle was swollen I couldn 't practice. Worse , I had to go home after games to ice' it instead of going out with my friends ." As the season turned from basketball to track, persistent pain forced Anderson to have a bone scan and walk on crutches for a week to finally heal the injury. " I didn 't want to miss track, but I wanted my ankle to heal too ," said Anderson . " It was double jeopardy." Football player Brian Young '88, encountered un ique experiences because of his torn medial knee ligament s. " I was on crutches for eight weeks . I could wear nothing but sweats over my cast, and I didn 't drive the car at all," said Young . " Also, the crutch tips would get wet from the ra in . After the Tee Jay game, I went to Burger King, and my wet crutches slid right out from under me." But even after recovering from injuries , athletes looked confidently toward the next sport s season . One such athlete was Ned Greer '88, who broke his collar bon e in the Ralston football game. " Now I don 't have anything to be afraid of because I know what being hurt feels like ," Greer said, " so I'm just going to play as hard as I can next year." Some may have wondered why athletes accepted the ri sk of seriously hurting themselves, but to dedicated competitors, these hazards were only part of the game.

" We've done several writing projects ," said Gretchen Johnson '88, " including a literary critique and lots of essays. All the practice has made it easier for me to organize my thoughts. " Teachers stressed writing because of a new city curricu - lum, which Victoria Holder, department lead teacher, called part of a national movement. " Colleges and businesses are turning to high schools and saying kids don't know how to express themselves on paper," said Mrs. Holder. "Whether they use a pen, typewriter, or computer, they must learn to get the point across to the reader." Teachers used both old and new techniques to sharpen students' writing skills. " I'm using journal writing three times a week," said instructor Mike Tripp. " I hope students will understand that writing is a way to communicate, not just an assignment. " Another new project was a writers ' workshop , in which students in instructor Christine " IMPOSSIBLE , ILLOGICAL, AND COMPLETELY ABSURD!" That' s the diagnosis given by psychologist Juliane Pippert while consulting her patient, played by Janelle Misner. The girls performed the skit for t heir sixth hour English class. Wahl 's classes critiqued each others' writing on Fridays . " It's a lot easier to talk to students about your work than to the teacher," said Paul Vandenburg '87. " This way , I got a chance to keep polishing my work before I gave it to Mrs. Wahl." Students weren 't the only ones going to class. On those inservice days when every student was out goofing off, English teachers could be found in the library taking the Iowa Writers ' Project.

Two hours later, the five editors were finished - copy for the next edition was set and ready to paste-up.

With the staff's adventure in " desk top publishing" came total control of its publication, including the ability to cover late breaking stories and make last minute changes. "One time, all the stories were running long. We had scheduled a 16-page paper, but we knew it was going to run over," said Todd Fox '87. "Instead of cutting stories, we decided to add pages. Taryn Bixler and I wrote a review at the last minute and redid the layouts, and the paper came out as 18 pages." In addition to allowing more up to date coverage, desk top publ ishing saved the staff $350 per issue, money that was used for more color and better paper. According to Linda Smoley, adviser, five independent edi- " I CAN'T CARRY THIS ALONE!" shouts Margee Nagel as Leanne Ellis and Melanie Judkins carry a box containing the just-printed Echoes, which they picked up at South Side Press. tors were most responsible for the success of the paper. " At the beginning of the year, we spent many nights at Central Office learning how to run the Macintoshes and the laser printer," said Barb Leu '87. "And once we did master it, we still had to make many trips because all the stories weren't done on time." In fact, the main problem editors faced was failure of staffers to meet deadlines. " It was very hard to force yourself to get done," said Mindy Brewer '88. "They said the story was due on the 10th, but you knew the paper didn't come out until the 30th." Although the staff had problems, it won many awards. Nationally, Brewer and Ann Kirlin '87, won Gold Keys, and Amy Fenner '88, and Taryn Bixler '87 earned Merit Certificates.

When the staff saw Smoley's puffy eyes peering out from a mascara blackened face, the chatter died. Smoley told the staff that 47 pages of the book got lost in the mail, and there was little chance of finding them, according to postal officials. Staffers sat in a stupor, their lips falling to the floor and eyes swelling with tears. " Why us?" asked assistant editor Melanie Lovstad '87. " What did we do to deserve this?" After a prayer was said and wet tissues picked up, the staff was faced with the decision to "throw something together," as their principal had suggested, or redo the pages exactly as mailed. After the decision was made to reproduce the original 47 pages, the staff set about the work of reprinting 100 pictures , redrawing 24 spreads, locating duplicates for 300 mug shots, redoing more than 30 art headlines, and copying page after page of type.

" Sometimes brainstorms for headlines turned into laugh sessions about Mrs. Smoley's fake nails and flaming red hair, or we'd be interrupted by the photogs singing in the darkroom," said Robb Traylor '89. Even during the first week of summer vacation when the staff continued working from 8 to 4 in 234, the joking around helped get the 47 pages done with a sense of comraderie instead of complaining.

"One night I even stayed up until 3 a.m. to get my oratory memorized . It was worth it though when I got a I rating ." Debaters were successful as well.

" The class helped me overcome my fear of public speaking," said Liz Taibleson '89. "Once I had to do a demonstrative speech, and they videotaped it. I really didn't want to watch myself, but when I did, I found a lot of things I could improve on, like my gestures .

They had turned out four major productions, working with a zero-dollar budget, and had fought low student turn - outs at auditions every inch of the way. "We had to go out and recruit students to audition for plays," said Steve Brockway, head of the drama department. " It was frustrating ." Yet the drama department overcame these hurdles, and their four productions made the year a success . Butterflies are Free, a play directed by Chris Henry '87, and run by students, became the year's first show. WHO SAID DRAMA WAS EASY? With sleeves rolled up and brush in hand , Anna Jorgensen puts the finishing touches of glitter on the " 1987 Abe Lyn x Follies" sign that took an entire week to make. Students managed everything from costume design to lighting techniques, and they realized the difficulties of putting on an entire play. " Trying to get everyone together at the same time was really frustrating, " said Henry. "But it was a lot of fun . I wish I could do it again." Little Mary Sunshine, a musical and comedy rolled into one, presented a challenge to those involved in the technical aspect of drama. Students constructed a background scenery 40 feet long by 16 feet high, and they learned painting, lighting, and scene design techniques that helped achieve the most realistic effect. " Each production offered something different," said SETTING THE STAGE.

"Little Mary Sunshine gave students the technical opportunities that putting on a major show involves." The Fantasticks, a minim us ica I performed backstage, attempted to draw in the audience through creating an intimate atmosphere. Students felt actively involved as characters exited the stage by a walkway, a mute scattered glitter in their hair, and a " dying" Indian clutched their shoulders. Preparations took six weeks, and new friendships developed as cast members worked together to present the play. "We all became really close," said Jean Gibson '89. "We were like one big family. That made doing The FantasDRESSING FOR THE PART. As Scott Dietz pounds steadily on his makeshift drum, Travis Walker hovers behind , delivering his lines.

Finally, the Roadshow, brought about through Brockway and instructors Marsha Grandick and Lee Spann, ended the year with success. Students worked furiously for an entire week, making the sign bearing the show's nickname, " Follies." "We worked before school, after school , and during our lunches to get the sign done," said Anna Jorgensen '87. " It was a big job." The proceeds from the 20- act show pulled the drama department out of debt, leaving it ready to face the upcoming year. "Enrollment for next year has doubled," said Brockway. "Already, more kids are giving drama a try." TOGETHER AT LAST. Their differences as Matt and Luisa in The Fantas tick s reconciled, Kim Capel and Travis Walker sing together in a final duet .

That's what foreign language students did, sampling mouthwatering tacos, crepes, and birthday cake in the classroom and in posh places like the French Cafe. French Club celebrated the holiday season with a candle1 ig ht Christmas dinner and brightened February with a trip to the French Cafe and a chance to wander the Old Market. "You can't get crepes and French onion soup like they serve in the French Cafe anywhere else," said Gretchen Johnson '88. "We got a special price so we didn't have to pay $20 a person like you would if you went at night." During Foreign Language Week, French Club members continued to satisfy their food fetish by selling croissants, with funds going to eight lucky students who planned to visit France in the summer.

" Afterwards we went to a Mexican store and bought churros , a type of roll." Frequent treats like doughnuts and birthday cake made Latin class and its teacher, Don Scheibeler, a favorite with students. Birthday parties and movies about ancient Rome like Ben Hur and The Last Days of Pompeii were common happenings in class.

"They have to do stunts like rolling a weeble with their nose and imitating a chicken ." Russian students didn't have time to pig out or play games. Their class met only on alternate days, and students were kept busy learning Russian characters and words. "Russian is a difficult language to learn, but it's a lot of fun," said Penny Pearson '87. " Mr. Brockway, who learned Russ ian in the army, makes it really interesting." Fun and food made taking a language a favorite with students, who found they learned about another culture not only through a textbook, but also by sampling the culture's delectable dishes!

" It was so interesting ," said Mark Wittland '88. "We saw how they made money, where they stored it, and they gave us souvenir bags of shredded money." Changes also occurred for sophomores who found they had to take World History to graduate, after years of low ITED scores in world awareness. " We realized that some - thing needed to be done ," said Dennis Devault, head of the social studies department, " so we changed World History from an elective to a requirement." After only nine weeks, sophomores enrolled in World History took the ITED's, and average scores improved by 32 WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN?

"I worked harder in there than in any other class." Students in instructor Sidney Klopper's American Government class also learned more as they nominated candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President, and then voted as if in a real election. " It was just like the real thing ," said Heather Proctor '88. " We had press conferences, campaign managers, and debates , and everyone got real emotional. It made us realize just how much a politician goes through to get elected. " Finally Al' s first Brain Bowl team joined KMA radio station's 10th annual Brain Bowl.

While it hadn't come to this yet, art teachers feared that the more creative expressions were beginning to dwindle in importance at school. "Most of the counselors stressed the academic courses, to go back to the basics of reading, writing , and arithmetic," said Miriam Boyd, art instructor, "so some students are taking math and science courses instead of art." Since only 126 students enrolled in art classes in 1987, one of the biggest jobs of the department was recruiting . " I went through all my classes and made suggestions to my current students about what art course they should take next year," Mrs. Boyd said. "Then I made a list of former students and talked to them, asking them if they would like to take another course, or if they knew anyone who would." Such efforts resulted in raising the enrollment by 58.5 students per semester for 1988. Teachers also had to wage battle against a dwindling budget, cut 55 percent over the last year, a total of 70 percent in the past two years . "By the end of next year, the art department's supplies will be stripped ," Mrs. Boyd said. "This year the inventory will not be replaced, so there won't be much left over." Yet , despite budget cuts and low enrollment , students in the department excelled. From nine classes, 34 students entered the art fair, with 12 winning top prizes. First place or grand prize went to seniors John Hall, Tony Winchester, Curt Tucker, Missy McKinley, and Jolie Schmoker; juniors Tobe Barzydlo, Dawn Raether, Kelly Behrens, and JaNean Mattes; sophomores Jody Pierce and Arturo Adams; and freshman Tom McGuire. The media department also suffered lower enrollment but managed great accomplishments. Despite a cut from 105 students to 49, the media center began broadcasting from channel 35, "Your Educational News Channel," from its new quarters at Bloomer.

In order to put it all together, students learned to run cameras, give and I or take orders, and work as a team . "I'd say the most important person is the one who runs the mixer ma<_?hine," said Tracey Graham '87. " He has to tell the cameraman which way to move, to focus on something, and combine the different cameras so the subject can be seen from different views. He is important, but we all have to work as a team ." All in all , it was a struggle to survive in art and med ia classes , but students and teachers continued to create.

Students in instructor Patty Ford 's Child Care class had just finished a week caring for their "egg " children, which were now being disposed of. The project began with a fake pregnancy, which lasted only a few weeks. After the eggs were "born," students spent a week caring for the eggs as they would real babies. In the end, students learned a lesson worth re - membering. "I learned the responsibility of being a parent," said Teri Caputo '88. "I gave my egg baths, washed it with a washcloth whenever it got a spot, made clothes for it, and put it to bed in the refrigerator." Though some assignments were less involved, all practical arts students gained experiences that would be useful later. Foods students kept a twoweek diary of the food they ate so a dietitian from Jenny Edmundsun Hospital could advise them of changes they should make in their diets. "I found out that I eat very poorly," said Trisha Ira '87. "I don't get enough vitamins because I eat too much junk food , like candy bars , which I didn't always write down." Housing students also gained valuable knowledge. In hopes of giving students advice in building their homes and offices, Mrs. Ford had students draw their dream homes and then visit a construction site. "I learned what to look for in a house," said Nancy Wagner '87. " You have to be sure that the rooms aren't too small for the furniture you have, and it's important to have convenient entrances, so you don't have to walk all around the house to get from one room to another." Industrial arts students learned about houses in even more detail. " Architectural Drafting gave me the basics of building, such as symbols, footings, high beams, and floor plans," said Adrienne Lee '87. "This was helpful because I'm going to major in architecture and minor in interior design." USING A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE, THE BATHROOM!

The basics were also important in woods classes, where students first learned safety, then went on to the joints of wood construction , and finally, built what they wanted , from gun cabinets to stereo stands to waterbeds. "In wood shop I learned things I'll need to know later on in my career in construction," said Chris Drus_trup '87. "My father is a carpenter who has taught me a lot, and the class gave me good practice." Electronics also provided a link to career choices.

Soon, the lab tabletop burst into flames , as did a bunsen burner, the watch glass, and spatula. Rather than disposing of the burnt sulfur in a sink, Marsh dumped it into the trash, setting that on fire, too. Fortunately for Marsh, Steve Jensen '88, stomped out the flame, and instructor Dennis Schmoker shrugged off the incident. "It was funny watching him trying to put the flames out," Schmoker said. " Rather than getting mad, I embarrassed 90 Clubs & Classes and poked fun at him." Like Marsh, many science sudents admitted they goofed off in class, especially when doing experiments. "One day we were messing around in biology. I poured water on a hot plate and it sizzled like a Mexican jumping bean," said Beth Tangeman '89. "Soon the whole class started doing it, even though Mr. Forsee was just outside the door." Physics students also found altering experiments could have amusing results. "After one experiment, a bunch of people in our class took a ball-bearing and rolled it in the table ruts," said Shelly Kromminga '87. "The object was to see who could get the ball in certain ruts . It was supposed to be like a game of golf." An advanced physics cart experiment gave Jeff Hahn '87 , the opportunity to kid around in class. According to Mike Boone '87, Hahn used two carts like roller skates and proceeded to roll up and down the science wing hallway. "He got away with it for a while ," Boone said, " but it was funny to see the expression on his face when Mr. Freeman caught up with him."

Kirlin, however, found a different home for it. "I thought the clam would make an excellent locker decoration," said Kirlin . "A small scum layer remained after I washed it, but otherwise the smell wasn't too bad." Although science was usually a serious subject, students discovered insane diversions could not only relieve the pressure, but also add excitement to otherwise monotonous experiments. SCIENCE CLUB.

Overcoming or completely avoiding such problems was PUTTING THEIR HEADS TOGETHER, Mike Carrithers, instructor Roger Pearson, and Todd Devereaux help Laurent Comes come up with an advertising slogan. the focus of the Food Service, Marketing and Retailing, Trade and Industries (T&I), and Office Education classes. Unlike other coop classes, T&I dealt with the safety aspect of working in carpentry, construction, or factories. "I work at Sutherlands so I get to see how important the things we learn in class really are," said Stacy McKeever '87. "I don't actually use the machines myself, but I could if I had to. I never knew there was so much to think about before using something as simple as a drill." While T&I students learned to avoid problems, Marketing and Retailing students learned to create a new product and solve the problem of marketing it while keeping cost down. In one assignment, instructor Roger Pearson had students design a hog confinement bill-board. "My building was called Heavy Harry's Pig Hotel and the slogan on my billboard was Get Hefty with Heavy Harry," said Todd Devereaux '87. "I worked for about two hours coloring and designing it." Marketing and Retailing students kept the creative juices flowing outside the classroom by becoming members of DECA. DECA membe~ swept the Area 4 and 5 Leadership Conference Feb . 11 , bringing home 13 trophies, the largest number won by an AL DECA to date. To win those trophies , DECA members engaged in role playing with judges. For example, one DECA member had to pretend she was an assistant manager of an entertainment section of a large department store. It was her job to make sure the store carried the latest in electronics.

"My class really helped me do well," said Clouse. "With about 25 kids in the class, we could bounce ideas off each other to get ready for competition. I learned how to make my ideas more appealing." Although students in the Office Education classes saw an increase in technology with three new Protype word processing typewriters, they also learned the real difference came from interracting with people, especially their teacher Mrs. Julie O'Doherty. "My job is a lot easier with the Office Ed. class," said Dawn Blunk '87. "I can go to Mrs. O'Doherty with problems. "Earlier this year, I wanted to ask for a raise, but I didn't know how. Mrs. O'Doherty told me to accentuate my job skills and the positive things I've acc om p Ii shed at the office. I didn't get the raise but only because it went to someone with more seniority. I probably couldn't even have asked why I didn't get the raise if it weren't for her." Regardless of which coop class students took , they learned to work without constant supervision by learning to avoid or solve problems. DECA.

Coop programs 95 Students tell story of problems in ... erciless mathematics W hen Time magazine reported in January that U.S. students' math skills were well below those of students in other nations, teachers and students expressed opposing viewpoints. While teachers pointed out the unfairness of the study, students said math teachers could do a better job. Teachers contended that it was unfair to compare the U.S. with other nations. "That study is like comparing apples and oranges," said Connie Byrnes, lead math teacher. " Take Japan for instance. They go to school for 240 days as compared to our 180 days. "You also need to know that teachers in Japan have only three classes compared ON A BREAK from the Creighton Math Field Day, Mike Cooper and Matt Kelly oppose a computer on campus in a game of tic-tac-toe. 96 Clubs & Classes to teachers here who have six. Since Japanese teachers have more contact with students, they tend to do better." Many students said, however, that math was their hardest subject and their ITED scores proved them right, with math ranking lower than any other subject in overall percentiles. Students blamed the problem on several things, such as repetitious curriculum and lack of time spent on certain concepts. "Every year we learn the same things," said Katie McGuire '88 . "We already knew how to cross multiply and find ratios, yet this year in geometry, they taught it to us like it was a brand new idea." In an attempt to make math less repetitious, the math department spent the year rewriting its curriculum to prepare for new books to be used in the fall of 1987. "It's been ten years since the math department has gotten new books and we thought it was time the curriculum be updated," Mrs. Byrnes said. But repetition wasn't the only problem in math classes. Some students said teachers went over concepts too fast, and most said the best solution was to seek extra help. " At times, math was hard for me because the teacher went over things faster than I could understand them," said Jody Randall '89, "so I got some extra help on proofs." Students said the greatest problem, however, was that they didn't understand the relevance of math. In a poll of 68 students, 39 said that they TANGENT TROUBLES.

"Sometimes you learn formulas and you do all of these problems with one set of formulas," said Melanie Lovstad '87, "and then they give you story problems and you have no idea which formula goes with which problem because you don't know how to relate the formulas to real life." To help correct this problem, the Area Education Agency 13 applied for an $86,000 grant from the Federal government to help train local teachers to show students how mathematical concepts can be used in daily life and in the technical jobs of the future.

As they struggled to perfect every note and step at tedious and exhausting Monday night practices, members learned it would take patience and perseverance to achieve the polished look and harmonious sound they craved. Even after long practices, swing choir members were willing to go that extra mile. In January , t hey traveled 90 miles to the Denison Swing Choir Festival to be coached further by experts in both song and dance. " On this song called 'Smile' our choreography coach was really hyper and he exaggerated everything we did," said Linda Bottrell '87.

He freaked out and emphasized everything almost too much, but he got the message accross." Even with all the practice and coach ing , moves that looked easy to an audience often created butterflies in performers' tummies. "I was so nervous the first time we performed together because I didn't want to mess up and let anyone down," said Sarah Markuson '88. " It was really scary because I wanted everything to go perfectly. I was also really worried about people seeing my hands and knees shaking." Swing choir practices weren't the only ones that were long and sometimes frustrating, but almost all choir members felt the end result was well worth the effort. " When I first saw the 'Alleluiah Chorus,' I thought 'Oh my Spann, Jeff Matier, Kristi Binkley, Jean Gibson. Sarah Markuson, Holly Pechacek, Kim Steenbock, Shawn Leahy.

" When we performed it , thought, it went really well, so I felt the work was worthwhi le." Practice and performance also paid off at competitions such as All-State Choir Contest, where Travis Walker '89, Jeff Brown '88, Teresa Jaussi '88, Kim Capel '88, and Brian Wyant '87, rose above 177 other appl icants to be selected for that prestigious choir. When the State Choir Contest came up in January, singers struggled to achieve a Division I rating.

" We were really nervous about all this, but in the end , these two and several other students who had been ill all week did get to perform."

" Performing at the new mall was a lot of fun because we got out of classes , and after we were fin ished , we went out to lunch at all the new fast , food places ," said Gretchen Johnson '88.

"Then everyone's outfit gets really messed up, and it's hysterical. One time we fit eight people into one car. " A lock-in in the big gym on Nov. 21 provided more memorable moments as 45 students stayed up all night playing games, dancing , watching movies, and , of course, singing. The purpose of the night was to develop closer friendships wh ich would promote better working relationships. Some students had unforg ett ab I e experiences that night.

P.E. and driver ed make changes or better and worse W hether it was letting off some steam in P.E. , or hopping in a driver ed car for an often-perilous ride on the streets of C.8., students were " keyed up " and ready to go. Both departments underwent big changes in the '86- '87 year, which both teachers and students felt were for the better in P .E., and for the worse in driver ed. Upper and lower grades were separated for the first time in P.E. , combining freshmen and sophs on A day and juniors and seniors on 8 day. Because students found themselves with others more on their ability level, they were more at ease. " I'm really glad we didn't EASY DOES IT! Backing a car gives Cristy Walter a challenge .

"I got put with a lot more people my own age. We have a great time talking and getting crazy," said Nancy Butts '87. " One day we got so into our talking while we were leaning on a ping pong table that when one of us got up, the whole thing toppled over." Students were "keyed up " for driver ed in a different way. Budget cuts caused the class to be offered only during second semester, and this caused a rush to register, with only 180 out of about 300 finally able to enroll in the class . Because the class was required to get a license before age 18, not getting into the class presented sophs with bleak alternatives. Younger sophs , who had last chance at the course , could either wait a year or pay big bucks for a summer or night class. " My birthday was so late I would have had to wait until my junior year to get my license," said Dennis Kirlin '89, "so I spent $85 and took the summer class." Waiting until the junior year to take driver ed was not the best solution either. "Not being able to drive is so embarrassing because when we go out, I always have to depend on other people for rides ," said Renee Dodds '88. All in all, changes in the physical and driver education departments affected not so much what students learned, but when they learned it and ultimately affected students ' satisfaction with school.

From programming and keyboarding classes, they moved to economics, special education, journalism, and a library lab. In the special education suite, students were hesitant to work on computers, but teachers said that after a 'few weeks, students couldn't wait to practice spelling on them. Containing eight Apple lle's, a tiny lab opened in the library in January. Within two weeks, about 11 students a day came in, and several teachers had already reserved the lab for their classes. "I took my chemistry class up to use programs which helped review for the semester test," said Chris Fink, science teacher. "I think the kids really benefitted from it." To learn the basics, students took Programming I and found computers could be fun during a graphics unit. "After all the effort, I was so happy when my pitcher finally wound up and threw his ball," said John Larsen '87. Those considering careers in computer science could take Programming II. "I took computers last year and actually found this course easier," said Curt Winchester '87. "We found short cuts in our programs, even though they took three or four pages'.' After a ten-year absence, economics was offered with the aid of computers. "Many of the concepts are difficult for students to grasp," said instructor Larry Brown, "but the computers actually give students examples of how the concepts work." Units included personal budgeting and business operations. In one project, students pretended to own a shoe store, and given sales for the year, computed profits and commissions. Finally, new Mclntoshes helped Echoes staffers operate more like professionals, as they used the computers to set type themselves. "The Mac's allowed us to add stories at the last minute without big hassles and increase the size of our paper from 12 to 14 pages," said Taryn Bixler '87 editor.

All of these jobs were performed by members of Al's service organizations, including Key Club, National Honor Society, Student Council, Foreign Exchange Club, and Courtesy Club. Key Clubbers spent Saturdays as therapeutic recreational aides to quadraplegics at the YMCA, playing water sports such as volleyball and " COME ON, MAN, GET THIS OVER WITH!"

"It really made my day knowing that they enjoyed us being there," said Corey Ranslem '88. "One little boy cried because he had to leave; another lady wanted to make sure we'd be back." While some Key Clubbers volleyed for the ball, others became friends and companions to the elderly at local care centers, where they shared conversation, games, picture albums, and books with residents.

Service Organizations 1 1 1 Continued obsforthejoy Student council fervor continued as members organized the bloodmobile and collected 70 pints of blood in November. The following month student council members took up a collect ion of another kind, sponsoring a contest among homerooms to donate food , blankets , and toys for the needy. The council was so successful spurring competition that the homerooms gathered $3000 worth of items. After every can and toy was counted , the council awarded a pizza lunch to Bob Burns' homeroom, which averaged 32 items per student. St udent council was honored when president Todd Fox ' 87 , received the Greater Omaha Area Youth Leader of the Year Award in October from the National Council on Youth Leadership. He attended a three-day seminar at the end of November in St. Louis. " It is a good program because it recognizes people and their abilities," said Fox. "It encourages people to get involved and go for the gusto." While student council provided services for students, the Foreign Exchange Club spent hours decking the halls for Christmas Dance. Members thought everything was under control when someone noticed the photo backdrop was nowhere to be found . Fear struck the decorators as they remembered Robe rt Tompkins ' 87, was in charge, and he still hadn 't arrived.

Instead of resting on its laurels as an honorary group, National Honor Society tried to become more helpful by offering a tutoring service to students every Tuesday, Wednesday , and Thursday from 7 to 8 a.m. in the library. NHS members were disappointed , though, that on the average only three to five students showed up for help each week. " Most students who needed help weren 't willing to get up at 7 a.m. to work on homework, or their teacher would help them after school," said Barb Leu '87.

Service Organizations 113 '' I didn't go to my parents when I first thought about quitting because I knew they would react negatively. My parents had great ambitions about 'Little Todd' going off to college and becoming a wonderful success, so it didn't seem that I'd get any support from them. Todd Sanders '88JJ AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO RETURNING TO SCHOOL, dropout students can attend the Alternative Learning Center where Rebecca Haynes signs in for morning classes after leaving AL first semester. SOON AFTER DROPPING OUT, most students find themselves studying the want ads seeking a job. 114 Special Feature . , ~ I -1- . -. •l /..~, , .• /.'° Dropping out Bad experiences cause students to think about leaving "I 'llllllJlllllllllll n one week, I lost three people,'' said Mary Gepner, Ameri - can history instructor, "three people gone from school because of poor attendance." Mrs. Gepner was but one teacher who was concerned about a growing dropout rate, which was 4 percent by the end of the first semester and plagued the Senior Class, leaving it with only 280 students at the end of third quarter, down from 320 at the beginning of the year. "It's all the things that are occurring in their lives," said vice principal Fred Maher. "It's family problems, work problems, boyfriend problems, girlfriend problems. Some are frustrated with the amount of work and some with the structure of school." Dropping out most often occurred because of bad experiences students had at school, such as grades, poor attendance, and frequent suspension. "I had a certain amount of insecurity about the entire thing," said Todd Sanders '88 who came close to leaving school. "School seemed like a 0 waste of time, so I put it on the back burner. Then the assignments started snowballing, and before I knew it, I had a big mess on my hands." According to Maher, being involved with drugs or certain people as friends sometimes created problems for a student. "I got into a lot of trouble because I was hanging around with the wrong group of people," said Mark Thompson '87, a dropout who returned to school. "I didn't feel like I should have been in school, so I finally quit." Dropping from school may have also been a result of financial concern. "I didn't want to go anymore; I wanted to get a full time job instead," said Richie Donaldson, who quit in the eleventh grade. "I worked at Peony Park in the Royal Terrace Ballroom from 8 to 3:30 p.m. weekdays and from 8 to 1 :30 p.m. on weekends. I would rather earn money than grades." According to Maher, administrators followed a procedure of calling parents and making everyone aware of the problem before drop sheets were signed. "I didn't go to my parents when I first thought about quitting because I knew my parents would react negatively," said Sanders . " My parents had great ambitions about 'little Todd' "HOW MANY CREDITS DO I HAVE?" Don Barrett asks counselor Dick Schoeppner. Barrett was a sophomore who dropped out and returned. going off to college and becoming a wonderful success, so it didn't seem likely that I'd get any support from them." Maher said parents were often confused when they learned of the problem. "I often get comments from them, such as, 'I don't know what to do,' "he said. "They're frustrated and don't know where to turn." For many students who wanted to drop, it was a battle, but they often succeeded. " I came up with the idea of dropping out first," said Eric Stites, who left in the eleventh grade. "My parents didn't like it, but then I just kept skipping until I got into so much trouble I had to drop." Donaldson said he made the decision to leave and then refused to budge, despite parental pressure. "I told my mom and then I set my mind that I wasn't going to school , and she couldn't change it for me," he said. "They tried to keep me there, but I didn't want to stay." According to Maher, the administration informed students of all the options available to those wanting to drop out. One such option was the General Education Development Test Battery (GED). Equivalent to a high school diploma, the GED consisted of five tests: math, writing skills, social studies, and reading, according to Margot Fetrow from the Adult Learning Center (ALC). "At the learning center we test only 18-year-olds with their c lass already graduated," she said. Another option for those who couldn't handle AL or Tee Jay was CB schools' Alternative Learning Center. "I attend ALC now, and I really like it," said Stites. "I'll probably go there until I get caught up on my credits for my junior year." According to Maher, another option always open to students was that of returning to the public school system when they were ready, as Thompson did. " I worked a lot and I paid my own rent," he said, "I wanted a career, and I knew I was never going to go anywhere without a diploma."

One person who seemed to do everything well was Kari Hannan '90, who participated in cheerleading, took ballet 21 hours per week, danced in the Omaha production of the Nutcracker, and kept up a 3.8 G.P.A. ''I push myself really hard in ballet because I want to do better each time. In the Nutcracker I have gone from playing a party child to playing a lamb," said Hannan. ''Being involved like I am is a lot of pressure, but I think it will help me later in life when I need to be responsible." As if Amelia Johnson '88, didn't have enough to do with porn pon, tap and jazz classes, homework for a 3.8 G.P.A., and soccer practice, she took on the responsibility of coaching an under-14 girls' soccer team. "If I wasn't so involved, I'd get bored," said Johnson. ''When things get hectic, I take a break, so I don't get burned out." To many of us, Todd Fox '87, student council president, represented the ultimate in involvement. He served as president of NHS and co-editor of the Echoes, taught church classes, worked at Bishops 1 O hours per week, and still maintained his 3.9 G.P.A. "If you do something well, every activity you're in dumps stuff on you. That can be a pain, especially when you've got a million other things to do," said Fox, "but I've learned to let things work themselves out when they get too intense." Hannan, Johnson, and Fox were just a few of those who used pressure - even sought it - to get the best from themselves. ll 1'm under a lot of pressure, but I try to find time to relax every week.

A poll of junior girls revealed that on a scale from one to ten, appearance rated 8. 1 in importance. "Looking my best shows I care about myself," said Kathy Frost '88. " It gives me confidence." But satisfaction with our appearance rated 6. 7, and we constantly sought to improve how we looked . The amount of time spent getting ready for school ranged from 30 minutes to two hours, with 70 percent saying that styling hair took the most time. "I spend an hour curling my hair each morning," said Susan Vesper '88. "It gets to be a hassle, but if your hair doesn't look good, the picture you present just isn 't complete.

"During wrestling season I have a goal to focus on, so I'm never bored," said Tim Knauss '88. Most students said their main reason for involvement was the desire to meet people.

" If you're a fat pig, girls won't look at you," said Scott Widtfeldt '88, "but if you have a good body, you can get a girl's attention." Acting studly, however, involved more than just being gorgeous. " I try to have a good sense of humor and caring personality," said Dale Messerly '88. "Girls like guys with nice bodies, but they also want someone to talk to. If a guy can't hold a decent conversation with a girl, she'll look past his good looks and lose interest fast."

Zontelli 136 Juniors Sanders-Zontelli \ So you wanna be I I I N LOIJE:- S auntering down a stretch of their favorite shopping mall, the Westroads, Steffany Hutchens '88, and Nicole Brink '88, casually stopped to browse while trying to disguise the real reason they were there . All day, the twosome had been studying their favorite subject, males. Now, they felt fatigue washing over them after hunting their prey without a single snatch . What was the purpose of this crazy chase of the opposite sex that had been going on since the beginning of time? Like most teenagers, the girls weren't after a serious relationship, but it was the idea of love that attracted them . In a poll of 50 juniors, over half said they felt a need to love and be loved, but almost four-fifths said infatuation was their goal. " I like to just look at a girl," said Rod Sollazo '88. "I don 't care if I go out with her." Students said infatuation gave them a constant feeling of excitement and pleasure, something that was sometimes absent in their lives. "It's fun to be infatuated," said Kristi Anderson '88, " It puts me on kind of a high!" CASUAL COURTYARD FUN. Enjoying the last ten minutes of lunch, Kelly McEvoy, Jerry Cundiff, and Toni Mcintosh engage in flirtatious fun.

You were a sophomore and soon you would take driver education. But for more than half the sophomore class, a ticket to freedom wouldn't become a reality. Because of budget cuts, driver education was offered only second semester, and only the oldest sophs were allowed into the course. Of 100 sophs surveyed, only 34 were enrolled in driver education. For some, summer school, at the cost of $85, was an alternative, but it cut into summer fun. "My soaps were ruined because I had to go to driver ed every day this summer," said Lisa Koenig '89, "but I'd miss All My Children before I'd ride the bus to school." "I'm taking the course offered at night because I want to get my license as soon as possible," said Jeff Jensen '89. "I'd like to be able to drive during the summer." Being forced to wait for a license, many stranded sophs relied on their parents for rides. " It's embarrassing being picked up after school when you're 16 and should be able to drive," said Robb Traylor '89.

There are just too many athletes better than you. Work on your skills and try again next year," said the basketball coach. It was nothing new for an individual ath· lete to bear such a fate, but it was unheard of to cut whole teams from partic i· pa ti on. Yet, that's just what happened to soph· omore football and basketball. Due to decreases in the school district's budget, sophomore teams were cut in the spring of '86. One of the results of the cut was a decrease in team partic ipation. According to Coach Phil Nielsen, 38 sophomores went out for basketbal l last year as compared to 18 this year. " I think it's sad they had to cut sop ho· more teams," said Nielsen. " Some soph· omores with potential aren 't able to play much to develop their skills for the next year." Another result of the cut, according to Nielsen, was that with so many players on JV, only about half of them could play a worthwhile portion of the game. Rick Vandenberg '89, for example, was a starter on the freshman team , but due to the cut, he had to play on the second JV team and rarely played. Some, however, made the first JV team by improving their skills at a basketball camp. " I went to two basketball camps during the summer," said Jeff Hays '89. " This taught me skills other players didn't have and gave me a better chance of making the first JV team."

PUTTING HOMEWORK ASIDE, Abby Wilmarth browses through a Seventeen magazine to check out the latest fashion during her free hour, which she spends in the library. 14 2 Sophomores Jorgensen-Nagel Stuck in the midd E Longing for a lounge S ettling into a graffiti-covered desk, a sophomore opened his World History book, intent on finishing the Greek history chapter before his test tomorrow. Suddenly, weights clanged together and Boston's latest song came blaring through the weight room doorway. Below the balcony in the gym, a P.E. student yelled , " It's my turn to serve." Despite the need to study for tomorrow's test, the book's cover slammed shut. Studying seemed futile. " I can't hear myself think in my study hall," said Heidi Boone '89. "As soon as the teacher takes attendance, people get into groups to talk . Then to leave, we have to wait forever to sign out. The noisy, poorly lighted study hall resulted when administrators changed the cafe study hall into a more relax ed lounge for jtfn iors and seniors and sent underclassmen to the gym balcony for what was supposed to be a structured study hall on the premise that they were too young for lounge privileges. Sophs hated the study hall not only because they couldn 't study in it, but also because the new junior-senior lounge eliminated the old lounge to which sophs used to escape with honor passes. "It's kind of a let down when we had privileges as freshmen that we don't get as sophomores, " said Brian Harmon '89. Many students found themselves wish - ing they had signed up for another class . Others, however, resorted to fleeing to the library or even skipping. "I skip study hall. They give me inhouse every time , but at least you can get some studying done in in -house!" said Cristy Riddle '89. ,. '_,.

Some found it easy to gain bucks by resorting to deceit, starving themselves, or both. "Each morning, my mom gives me $1.50 for lunch," said Rachel Ratigan '89, "and my dad gives me $1 .50 without either knowing the other has given me money. Since I don't eat lunch, I end up making about $15 that I can spend on whatever I want during the week." Some students mooched food off friends to hoard money. "I usually buy ice cream and save the rest of my money," said Scott Flickinger '89. "I'm still hungry, so I snag food from other people. It's gotten so bad that when I sit at the lunch table, people hover over their food. " ~ For those who chose to earn their bucks honestly, babysitting was a good alternative. "The pay really equals how much I do," said Carolyn Widtfeldt '89. "Even though I don't earn a lot of money, I don't do that much work either." Others in desperate need of money settled for jobs below minimum wage. "I enjoy my job, even though I make only $2 an hour," said Mindy Spencer '89, who works at Ro Ra's Funnel Cakes. "It isn't a very difficult job, and I can see my friends and even go shopping on my break." Despite the various ways they had learned to earn bucks, sophomores overwhelmingly said that as soon as they became old enough, they would be ready to start searching for a part-time job. IN A WORK SLUMP, Rachel Rhatigan longs for her punch-out time as she gazes across the hall at the movie goers. Rhatigan made $2 an hour at Ro Ro' s Funnel Cakes and worked an average of 12 hours a week.

But to Clark's shock, after 5844 days of life, she was greeted there by all her friends waiting to help celebrate that sweet plateau - birthday number 16. Fifty -eight percent of sophomores polled said drivers licenses were the most important result of a sixteenth birthday, especially since that tiny little card would give dating a whole new meaning. "Before I got my license, my parents had to drive me on dates, which was so embarrassing," said Todd Thies '89, "but dating is much more fun now that I can drive myself." According to 19 percent of the students polled, getting a job was the best consequence of turning 16. "I'm really glad I could get my job at Fill 'N Food because I needed to earn money for a trip to France this summer," said Nicole Askins '89. So, finally after 5844 days, sophomores began enjoying the privileges of driving, dating, and working . SWEET SIXTEEN GIFT GIVING.

"It makes me happy that after working, my mom or dad 150 Freshmen Fogarty-Kesterson takes time to fix a meal," said Tonya Hauser '90. Students also appreciated the time their parents spent talking with their kids at dinner. Of those polled, 82 percent said they spent 11 to 20 minutes per night at the table, and over half said it served as a valuable time to talk. " We talk about school, which my mom, sister, and I have in common," said Lori French '90. "We also talk about practice and Amy's cheerleading." men said their activities made life in the fast food lane a necessity at times. "One night I have cheerleading, and Kelly has porn pon," said Michelle McEvoy '90. "That's when we eat late or stop at Hy-Vee for chicken.

Sent to 503 students by the end of the seventh week, new eligibility downslips got mixed reactions from coaches, teachers, students, and parents. A new policy stated that if a student took only the required 5 % classes and failed one in a week, the following week he was ineligible to participate in any cocurricular public event, excluding practices. When he improved the grade, he was once again eligible. Despite the extra hours of work downslips caused, teachers liked the rule, saying it was important to emphasize academics rather than activities. "I used to look at the kids who were failing classes and still could play basketball," said Ruth Brown, math instructor. "This system is a lot bet16 2 Mini-Mag WITH A GLUM LOOK, Julie Kadereit retrieves her first quarter English downslip from the mailbox. ter." Although coaches felt sports were important, they also wanted to emphasize academics. "The policy didn't affect the volleyball team because we put emphasis on being at school for an education, not volleyball practice," said Mary Kyte, girls' volleyball coach. "If a student is failing a class, then she doesn't need to be practicing." Other coaches shared the same feelings. "I think it should have been done a long time ago," said Ron Lakatos, assistant wrestling coach. "It's great because we know exactly who can wrestle and who can't when that list comes out every week. It's had a positive effect." Parents liked the rule too. "I think taking away something that my son enjoys has hurt him worse than idle threats," said Yvonne Hoover, mother of Doug Hoover '89, who received a downslip in the fall. But students felt differently about the rule. "I think it stinks because trig, the class I failed, is an elective," said Sue Hestness '87. "Why should I be punished for taking it and not succeeding?" Since mailing the letters was so time consuming for secretaries, students sometimes complained that they didn't receive notification of failure until after the ineligible list was published. " Mr. Spann was the one who told me that I was ineligible, and I had no idea about it," said Hestness. Despite students disapproval, the faculty-favored eligibility rule was here to stay.

Laziness and non-school priorities were the main reasons for putting things off. "I have a pressure-filled life during the week to keep up 1 with what's happening," said Brian Anderson '88. "Homework takes a back seat to the rest of my life because I don't make a point to focus on it." Long term projects and reports seemed to be the most difficult for students to complete on time. Denise Solazzo '87, recalled her troubles with a term paper. "I knew my paper was going to be a hassle, but I didn't have the will or energy'to get started," said Solazzo. "I suffered in the long run because I had to type the entire paper the night before. At 2:30 a.m. I dozed off before completing the footnotes. Because of my laziness, I got a D on a paper that should have been a B." Speeches were another assignment students tucked away until visions of failing the course were well into view. "I want to do a good job, but when I have to write a speech, I seem to get a mental block," said Dawn Shipley '88. "I'm afraid to speak in front of large groups, so if I put off writing my speech , I won't worry about it as much." Even though some students didn't mind losing points on late assignments, those who cared concocted memorable excuses. "When I was teaching research papers, one of my students told me that his note cards were on top of his car and they blew away when he drove off," said Carol Murray, English instructor.

" The stores where students purchased their clothes were almost as important as the brand names they sported on their pockets.

"Most of my outfits come from the Limited , a store in the Westroads," said Nicole Askins '89. " The Limited carries Ou tback Red , my fav orite brand , which represents the way I feel about myself." Of those interviewed, 76 percent of the girls spent approximately $100 per month on clothes and guys spent about $50 to $75. "Clothes are really expensive , especially if you want something other than jeans and sweat shirts," said Jerry Cundiff '88.

"I think having a Swatch that's really 'in' is a lot of fun, " said Robb Traylor '89. Sales tempted students, too, especially on tapes and clothes. "I adore sales!" said Christy Riddle '89 . " I go straight to the sales racks whenever I go shopping. I love it when I find things super cheap, and I'll buy them, even if I don't need them." In the same poll, 40 percent indicated that when doing shopping with friends, they tended to spend more money. "Sometimes my friends will encourage me to buy really trendy clothes or expensive jewelry that I would normally pass up," said Barb Leu '87. A PERIPHERAL VIEW.

The winnings had to come from somewhere, though, and 22 percent of the students admitted to being $15 or more behind. "One night at my house Tom (Lustgraaf) wanted to play my brother in a game of pool for $10," said Scott Punteney '87. "Once they started going, everyone got in on the betting until Tom had about $50 riding on the game. He lost and got so mad he smashed his dad's pool cue.

You should have known what would happen and you could have called to a halt at any time.' " In a poll of 175 students, 50 percent said they have had sexual intercourse at least one time, although not all had planned to do so. "I was wasted, drunk and stoned. I hadn't planned on going all the way, but I happened to be with an older guy at the wrong time," said a sophomore girl. "After the high wore off, I regretted what I had done.' ' But of those who said they gave into sexual pressures, 50 percent said on their polls that they felt no remorse or guilt about their decision. "I didn't plan on having sex, but why should I feel guilty about it? It had to happen sometime," said a freshman boy. Yet in interviews, many students said they were concerned about their reputations. "There's a big story line behind me," said a junior girl. "I've experienced a lot, and people kind of know that about me. But the fact is that I'm not that different from other people." "If a girl is known for going all the way," another girl said, "she'll have a hard time finding a real boyfriend because guys don't want to go out with a girl all the other guys talk about at the lunch table." Even guys worried that they might have a hard time finding a date if they became known for "going all the way.'' "Sometimes I think girls are afraid to go out with me because they think I'm after one thing," said a junior boy. "A girl didn't ask me to Christmas Dance because she thought I'd take her to a motel.'' Those who didn't give into sexual pressure said their main reasons were not being able to handle the responsibility of a pregnancy and their moral beliefs. "Even before I heard guys talking about girls they had been with, I knew sex wasn't for me," said a senior girl. "I was raised believing sex is special and should be saved until marriage.''

D D ill CT's, PSAT's, and ITED's were a bunch of meaningless letters to some, but to many college bound students, they were a source of stress, preparation, and surprise. Though Iowa colleges admitted students with an ACT score as low as 19, students worried about scoring high enough. "I wanted to do well on the ACT because teachers told me if you didn't, you wouldn't do well in college because their tests are based on standardized tests like the ACT," said Jolie Schmoker '87. Others were more worried about scholarships. "I usually get good scores on standardized tests, but I felt I really had to do well on the ACT's because if I didn't, I would lose a lot of money in scholarships," said Todd Fox '87, whose score of 33 made it possible for him to enter MIT. Since there was no way for students to study for 166 Mini Mag PUTTING PENCIL to use on the ITED, Sally Rayburn works hard to get a good score. these tests, they used a variety of methods to prepare. "I got a good night's sleep and ate breakfast," said Jennie Thompson '87. "I also worked on the practice booklets· and the computer discs in the counseling office." ~ Some students went to even more work to prepare. Every Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m., Molly Swank '88, went to a class on testing at Reading Plus in Omaha. During the six-week class, students took practice tests within increasingly shorter time limits to learn to work faster. They also did a lot of homework. "Sometimes I would do up to ten math and vocabulary worksheets a week," said Swank. "Once my mother even had to do the worksheets because I didn't have the time, and I was so frustrated I didn't even want to look at them. But the class must have helped because my verbal score on the PSAT went up 14 points the second time I took the test." Whether or not students prepared, their scores often surprised them. "My grades aren't that great, but I did well on the ACT," said Craig Stueve '87, who scored a 26. "My scores probably showed that I could do better in class if I tried harder and wasn't as lazy." Others got the opposite surprise. "I thought I was prepared for the ACT, but I wasn't satisfied when I received my scores because I was one point lower than I needed to apply for a Pell grant," said Leanne Ellis '87. "I took the test twice in hopes of getting a higher score." Standardized tests caused stress, extra work and in some cases, pleasant surprise or serious disappointment. Questionnaries, magazine surveys reveal the truth about you 1iY,{ ost of us loved quizzes l1.AJ that revealed surprising and vital information like "Does He Really Love Me?" and "How Do I Rate on the First Date?".

"They are certainly nothing to base your life on, but sometimes I fill them out iust for fun ." But then there were those who believed in the results. "You really have to be gullable to believe those polls," said Katie McGuire '88, "and I'm really gullable. I'll believe alm9st anything." Some people admitted to looking ahead at the "right" answers, like the answers that would give them the best lover title, the best fashion sense, or tell them money meant more to them than love. "You want your score to come out to be how you perceive yourself rather than what you're really like," said Sarah Markuson '88. "Sometimes I catch myself cheating to get a better score."

How she hated those physical fitness tests! Whether P.E. students dreaded them or looked forward to their challenge, physical ·fitness tests were given at the beginning and end of every year without fail.

Amy Wheeler tests upper body strength in the arm hang during P.E. Voss '87. " By the next morning my whole body was stiff!" The tests measured endurance, strength, and speed . For some students, just surviving physical fitness week was difficult, but for others, obtaining the Presidential patch was quite easy. " Being in sports keeps you in good shape and makes you stronger, so the tests are easy to pass for athletes ," said Mike Patten '87. "I run ladders in football , line drills in basketball, and quarters in track, and all the conditioning keeps my endu ra nce up throughout the year." The tests' purpose was to show student s' improvement in P .E. throughout the year, but many students felt their P .E. class didn't teach them the skills tested .

" He doesn't want his money wasted, so I really work hard to make sure it's not." RELATIVELY SPEAKING. Working with Mom isn 't so bad, according to Tad Brewer, who checks a billing with his mom, Lee Schaller, at the accounting firm they own. Pupils whose parents work at AL find themselves lthough most students seemed to feel that having a parent working in the school would disrupt their lives to no end, those who suffered this fate usually handled it with grace, not to mention guts. Thirteen families sent a Parent and a child to AL everyday. Of the 15 students involved, 11 of them liked having Mom or Dad around, recognizing advantages, such as always having someone to talk to, ride to school with, and borrow money from. "Having Mom around comes in handy every once in a while when I need some lunch money or something," said Jason Bowman '89, son of L'Louise Bowman, French teacher. But with the good, came the bad. One of the disadvantages was that these parents had several direct pipelines to everything going on with their teen. "One of my teachers went up to my dad and told him that I was talking too much in class," said Beth Tangeman '89. "It bugged me, but it would have been worse if the teacher had c alled my parents up that night just to tell them what I was doing wrong." Things became most trying for these students when playing on a team o r taking a class under their ow n parent, for then, these kids felt they had to prove their abilities more than anyone else. "When there's a guy on the (basketball) team about equal to me," said Scott Nielsen '87, son of Phil Nielsen, basketball coach, "I have to prove I'm good enough to be playing, not just being favored because I happen to be the coach's son." Things were perhaps most difficult for the principals' kids. "I get picked on a lot about being the assistant principal's son," said Kyle Maher '90, son of Fred Maher, assistant principal. "They say I won't get busted because my dad is an assistant principal. They also criticize him, but they usually do it under their breath so I won't hear." In all, the situation was an obstacle, but these students hurdled it with little trouble. "It's not such a good thing when you father's the principal," said Michelle Frick '89, daughter of Principal Fred Frick. "But there's not much I can do about it, and I don't want to change schools or anything, and this way, he's there if I need him, and I know more about school activities in advance."

"My exchange student and I still write each other all the time. I'd really like to go to France next summer to visit her," said Kelly Halsted '88, who had a student stay with her for a month in the summer. Students also found that having a student from a foreign country was more fun and educational than reading about that place in a library book. The family of Ann ('87) and Denny ('89) Kirlin hosted Laurent Comes, a student from Paris, for the school year and found it to be a time of learning and enjoyment.

She moved to Council Bluffs from Washington last summer, so she felt a little unsure. "I didn't know anything about AL, but after a few days I knew I would like it here because people made me feel comfortable," said Stageman. 170 Mini Mag By the end of the first quarter, 123 students had come to AL from places as far away as Washington and Kansas and as close as Omaha. All had adjustments to make. " Classes are harder here. I have to study twice as hard to get halfway decent grades," said James Kohl '88, a transfer from Tee Jay. New students also had to get used to new rules . " In Kansas , whe n we cut a class, they just yelled at us," said Charles ::>tahl '89 . Sometimes we got a detention . Here, we get in-house the first time." Many transfer students found people as well as policies different. "At my school in Omaha, there were tons of cliques - preppies, punks , headbangers, nerds, and ath - letes, " said Nathan Klaus '90. " It was obvious what group everyone was in , but here people aren 't as con - cerned with cliques ." "IS THIS THE RIGHT ROOM?"

" I had to pay them back and buy the $250 stereo that I put in the car." But even with hours of hard work, not all students could afford a nice car, so they settled for a beater. " My car is k ind of a Piece of junk, but it was available and cheap, only $100, so I got it," said Nate Wichman '88. " I'm going to D D have to spend about $500 to fix it up, so I might not have saved as much as I thought after all." But whether students owned rad cruising vessels or beaters, wheels meant freedom. Students didn't have to wait for parents to pick them up or borrow the family fun wagon any longer. " I used to have to wait for my mom for an hour after school, and it got tiring because all I did was sit in the journalism room and look for things to keep me busy," said LeAnne Ellis '87. " I love having my own car now because I'm free to come and go whenever I please. Yet, for all car owners, freedom came at a price. " My uncle gave me an '80 Berlinetta Camero," said Troy Spencer '88. " Now I'm spending $440 every six months for insurance and $15 per week on gas. Even with a job, it's hard for me to afford all the extra expenses." Some students had to pay in ways other than gas and insurance. Bob Drummond '88, had to maintain good grades and good behavior and agree to restore the inside of his '58 Ford Ranch Wagon in order to keep his car. " Sometimes the car is a lot more trouble than I think it's worth," Drummond said. "It 's not hard work but it takes extra time and money that I sometimes don't have." Repairs and maintenance weren't the only aspect of owning a car that proved to be more of a responsibility than some students had expected. " When I got my car, I was really excited and felt a lot older, but the excitement wore off fast," said Nancy Wagner '87. " Running errands for my mom and taking friends places got old very quickly." Yet, in the long run students said the advantages of their wheels outweighed the disadvantages of being stuck without transportation. CLASSY OR CLASSIC?

Webster's Lf definition of it was the attachment between friends , a strong bond between two people. It was hard to imagine life without friends. They were included in almost every activity. " Cari and I are practically inseparable," said Katrina Tompkins ' 88. "She even goes out wifh me and my boyfriend! " Pra ctically every.one had a close friend, someone with whom they shared everything . "During cheerleading tryouts, I was really scared and didn't want anyone to know I was trying out, but my best friend cheered me on and told me to try my hardest," said Reo Price '88. Although friends were often there to comfort and help with problems, they sometimes caused them . Students said two of their friends' most thoughtless acts were confiding secrets to others and making "double" plans. "I made plans to go out with a friend one Friday night about a week in advance," said Scott Downing '90. " But he didn't think I meant it because he made plans with someone else." So as they experienced the joys and pains of friendship , students learned to handle it with ca re.

Most turned to Mom, Dad, and the rest of the family and asked to borrow things like clothes, money, cars, and houses. Such loans weren't made without conditions. The family's prized possessions had to be handled with care, or the borrower had to face the wrath of parents or a bigger, stronger, sibling. When they ran out of cash, many students head· ed first for Mom's purse or Dad's wallet. "I borrow money from my parents a lot, and they're always yelling at me for never giving them the change," said Chuck McKinley '89. Many students without a set of wheels of their own found themselves begging for the family boat for an evening, but Heidi LaSala '90 had bad luck in her car borrowing. "I backed our car into a condominium when my parents were out of town. I never heard the end of it!" said LaSala. Personal items, such as a favorite sweater or tape were also borrowed, often "I WON'T LOSE IT, MOM!"

It's a good way not to get anymore loans!" said Shelly Leeper '90. Borrowing expensive things was a way of life for students with meager incomes, but the most dangerous was the family house. Scenes of trashed homes in movies like Sixteen Candles may have worried students a bit, but many couldn't resist taking their chances, despite the risk. Chris Stevens '87 had the biggest friend she knew serve as bouncer to insure no damage at her parties, but for others, crowd control was impossible and the house suffered the consequences. Melody Massih '87, had just planned on having a few friends over for the night, but what happened was total chaos. She found flower pots overturned, people taking showers without permission, and univitied guests feeding beer to her dog and sitting in her yard at 1 a.m. listening to a radio. "E veryone was running around screaming. I found yogurt on the window and beer cans everywhere," said Massih.

This was just one of many harrowing experiences students had at their dentist's office. Some complained their dentist or orthodontist had made careless, painful errors. "The orthodontist let an instrument slip off my braces, and it ripped half the skin out of my mouth," said Craig Stueve '87. "I was really mad." Mike Feller '87, said his dentist began drilling without numbing. "He had to stop and numb my mouth half way through the process," 17 4 Mini Mag Feller said. "I was shocked, but I took it with good humor." In addition to needless pain, students had suffered embarrassment at the dentist's office. "Once when I had novo - caine in my bottom lip, I slobbered on myself while rinsing my mouth," said Bob Drummond '88. Amy French '88, said she remembered an extraction. "The dentist pulled my tooth so hard that it flew out of my mouth and fell on the floor. Everyone was crawling around looking for it," said French. Some students had even bitten their dentist. "My dentist gave me a shot of novocaine and I bit his finger," said Scott Flickinger '89. "Now he puts stoppers in my mouth." No matter whose fault these experiences were, students weren't likely to forget them for a long time. " OPEN WIDE! " Dental assistant Norma Lansangan tightef'ls Tammy Ulrich's braces at her checkup. D D I Brushing, flossing, and rinsing lead to superb smiles <3CS rn D rush your teeth, D round and round, circle small, gums and all ... " was the motto Captain Kangaroo taught us years ago, and most of us continued to live by it. Every morning started off with brushing to make the whites pearly for 73 percent of students polled. " I have to brush my teeth every morning, or they feel disgusting , slimy, and gross," said Kristin Colyer '88. Besides brushing in the morning, 64 percent cleaned their chompers before bed. "If I don't brush my teeth and retainer before I go to bed, I wake up with a horrible taste in my mouth ," said Molly Swank '88. The poll showed Crest was the _most popular brand of toothpaste, while Colgate and Aim were in close competition . Although a variety of brands were available in pump and tube, pushing a button wasn't always preferred. "My little brother really likes the pump, but I prefer the tube because when you push the pump down all the way, eight gallons of toothpaste ends up sticking to the cap," said Todd Fox '87. Scope was a favorite mouthwash of 21 percent of those polled, who said they often used mouthwash before going out. "I am always paranoid about how my teeth look and if I have fresh breath, especially when I want to impress someone," said Windy Kennedy '89. Flossing and the use of a waterpik weren't necessities, but 41 percent took advantage of their benefits. "If you've seen a person who wear braces after eating corn on the cob, you'll understand why I use a waterpik," said Rachel Stageman '88. TO KEEP A BRIGHT SMILE, Troy and Mindy Spencer brush their teeth before school. Perfection is worth the wait [;\ s the buzzer of his alarm W sounded, Larry Stover '88, dreaded getting out of bed, but with a jolt, he realized it was the first day of summer, the day he was getting his braces off. Two and a half years earlier, he had his silver eye catchers put on. Now, the day to reveal his pearly whites had arrived. He didn't care if anyone else liked or even noticed his "new" teeth , but he knew he would feel more confident with a perfect smile. Like Stover, many students were self-conscious about their teeth. "I always worried that people wouldn't like me because of my teeth, so I neve r smiled, " said Chris Stom '88, who got braces in sixth grade. Since teeth were one part of SHOWING HER PEARLY WHITES, Donna Sanders laughs at a joke told by Corey Ranslem in study hall. the body that could be corrected , many students spent thousands of dollars and valuable time at the orthodontist' s office. A poll of 100 st uden t s showed 43 had worn braces, paying from $1400 to $2800 for the procedure and spending anywhere from six months to three years as metal mouths. Derek Bees '89, was a typical patient. He had his braces on for about 22 month s and followed his treatment religiously. On the other hand, Andrea Darveaux '87, wore her shiny bands for four and half years simply because she refused to cooperate. " For six months, my head gear just sat on my lam pshade, and I had tons of packets of rubbe r bands lyi ng around," said Darveaux. Eventually , she wised up and finally got her braces off. Toothy Matters 17 5 WHAT'S THE CODE WORD? Kevin Marsh looks through the Iowa Code , which tells the limitations allowed in city government. Marsh served on a committee with the city council to decide whether Council Bluffs should adopt a mayor or manager form of government. RINGING UP A SALE, Paula Di x uses the cash register at Munchville at the Mall of the Bluffs.

Marlene Abel asks Jeanette Hesse while they wait for the elevator at Jennie Edmundson Hospital. The girls candystriped for three hours every Tuesday evening. Their duties included delivering flowers, feeding patients, and working in the gift shop. 17 6 Community Division I I I tlte kay, so we weren't always happy about living in Council Bluffs. It wasn't exactly a throbbing metropolis with all the best shopping and entertainment around, but still, we strived to get the best from our town by giving our best to it. Seventy of us took jobs at the new mall, 48 of us candystriped at Jennie Edmundson, and one of us even worked with the city council. For some, a job at the mall meant facing pressures of working up to 40 hours a week, starting with the opening right through the Christmas rush with a regular paycheck as their only consolation. Candystripers, on the other hand, received no paycheck for the one night a week they worked. ''We help the community by paying attention to hospitalized people who wouldn't necessarily receive any," · said Sheryl Anderson '89. "I've learned how to communicate with people who don't always want to communicate back." Kevin Marsh '88, also improved his communication skills on the city council committee to select a mayor or manager form of city government. "Working with the city council took debating, because I had to convince a roomful of adults of a position that so many were bound to be against," he said. "The knowledge and confidence I gained more than compensated for my time.'' '' The cate court is the best thing about the new mall because it offers so much variety. Midlands was so dark and dreary, but the new mall is bright, which makes a great atmosphere. Lisa Christiansen JJ Whether we worked at the mall, candystriped, or got HUNGRY MEN.

Community Division 1 7 7 Students find fun after midnight R emember when your mother said, "Nothing but trouble happens after midnight!"? Well, this was the year to prove her wrong . Now Council Bluffs had two after-midnight activities for teens, Rock-a-Bowl at Brunswick and "Midnight Madness" at Cresent Ski Hills. If you didn't mind waiting until midnight, Rock-a-Bowl was relatively inexpensive, with the average expense of $5 to $1 O for two hours of fun. "Rock-a-Bowl was worth the cost because you could play pool and video games, and bowl as many games as you wanted to all in one place," said Marsha Anderson '88. Meanwhile, improvements estimated at $300,000 helped draw teens to "Madness ." After expansion of the Cresent Ski Hills' snowmaking and kitchen facil ities as well as the addition of another slope and chairlift, Friday and Saturday nights from midnight to 6 a.m. were reserved for three hundred 14-to20-year olds. " I like to ski but I'm a night person," said Brian Arrowsmith '90. " Before the new hours , I was never allowed to stay out late. But now that there's 'Midnight Madness ' I have somewhere to go." The late hours showed skiers that a break could re-energize weary muscles and bones. "I'd get so tired by 3 a .m .. " said Michele An - drews '90, "and everyone would go to the lodge and crash. But after an hour of resting , we would get a second wind and everyone was ready to ski again." Although Mom might have disapproved, fun without the sun was here to stay.

II When I'm under pressure, I'm forced to give more than I normally would. JJ Betina Whitaker WITH A SMILE FULL OF PRIDE, Kim Steenbock accepts congratulations, a plaque, and a $50 savings bond from choir instructor Lee Spann for her dedication to the choral department. 204 Closing After being pushed by pressure for nine months, it was finally time for ... uring a special year in which our Iowa winter seemed almost non-existent, many of us tried to hide in the glare of the sun from the monster called pressure. We soon found, though, that we couldn't hide for long. In the form of deadlines, term papers, tests, and tournaments, pressure chased us down and forced us to face it - and face it we did! Throughout the year, but especially in May, we both reaped the rewards of our work and sought ways to temporarily relieve pressure. On May 14, seniors were honored at Senior Honors Night, where Principal Fred Frick praised the Class of '87, saying that 89 percent of the seniors had earned more than 660 special awards after spending more than 100,000 hours on extracurricular activities, and that over $286,000 had been given to them in the form of college scholarships and other awards. "It seems like ever since kindergarten, we have been hearing, 'You kids are the worst class to ever go through this school system!' " said Kelly Yost '87. "It was great to hear Dr. Frick praise our class at Senior Honors Night. It's about time for someone to focus on the good stuff about our class instead of cutting us down all the time." Yet, just a week after all the praise, and the night before they were to be released from AL forever, seniors invaded the campus with hundreds of rolls of toilet paper. Just when things were going great, the teepeers heard, "COPS! RUN!" While police lights scanned the campus, panic stricken kids scattered everywhere - into neighborhoods, behind trees, and up (continued on page 206) PUSHIN' A BROOM, Principal Fred Frick takes a break from his everyday duties to give the janitors a hand in cleaning up end-of-the-year debris from the hallway.

Closing 205 WITH HER HANDS FULL, Kathy Kowal jumps off the ledge to tee pee another tree on campus. The seniors got together the night of May 21 to leave their mark on the school. SERVICE WITH A SMILE. Instructor Carol Tiller serves Chris Zimmerman a slice of cake at the senior party on May 21 . 206 Closing continued into the hills, but five unlucky students who didn't escape received citations for criminal mischief and had to clean up "the mess" under police supervision. Later, a few brave souls returned to redo what the police had made them tear down, and when people arrived at school on May 22, they were greeted with a message from the Class of '87 scrawled in black spray paint on the sidewalk of the building's north side, declaring, "No tears, no fears, tons of beers." "Tee peeing the school was our final fling as a class, our last chance to show our artistic ability," said James Hatcher '87. "It's great to show spirit that way, but when it turned into vandalism, like spray painting on the building and sidewalks, it defeated the purpose of good, clean fun.'' While seniors celebrated their last days, juniors and underclassmen faced the pressure of finals. Finally, two weeks later, they alleviated the pain of their last few days by letting out whoops of joy and stripping their lockers of papers, books, pictures of half nude bodies, and old jackets brought to school on cold mornings only to be discarded on hot afternoons. ''The last day of school is definitely my favorite day, and probably everyone else's, because it is such a relief," said Dan Dahir '90. "Everything is finally over. No more papers, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks - at least for the next three months.' ' So just as the year had flown, caps flew on June 2 and papers flew on June 4, signalling the end of one era while another waited to begin. With seniors looking forward to college, jobs, or families, and juniors and underclassmen looking forward to finishing their high school years, we knew we had learned a lesson for life in 1987 - if we worked with it, and not against it, pressure would get the best from us every time.

Just to get to school in the morning we had to make it over the biggest speed bumps we'd ever seen . Athletic teams made it to State, and academic teams made first place honors. The swing choir made it to Hollywood, and 125 students made it through the first year of A. P. classes . And after a long week of practicing, studying, competing, and working, most of us tried our best to make it to a party . We partied everywhere ... in basements, family rooms, garages, barns, fields, cars, backyards, and motel rooms. Wherever parties happened, we ate, drank, danced, relaxed, got crazy, and made lots of small talk. Gossip about who was going with who or who did what to get in trouble were the hottest topics, but we couldn't forget school, and it constantly crept into our conversation ... "How 'ya handling that A.P. chem class?" "Now that I'm not bustin' my butt for nothin' in football, I just might be able to swing a B this semester."

After they stuffed themse lves, they gave Drummond a grass sk irt for her trip. Although the administration frowned on frolicking in the classroom, teachers and students occasionally found ways to party. Student Life Instructor Roger Kuhl's fourth hour government class got a party as a prize. After collecting 650 items for the food drive, the class was rewarded by the student council with pizzas. After the 30 students devoured 14 pizzas, they drew for walkmans, gift certificates, and free movie passes. "I loved the break and pizza," said Scott Sanders '89, "but the best part was free movie passes!" Another unique party was held just before Christmas in instructor Marsha Grandick's English class. Students were given five minutes to make up a story on a specified topic and act their stories out. Afterwards, they feasted on ham, chips, cookies, and candy. "Some stories were really off-the-wall, said Lori French '90. INDULGE! Food drive victors Mike Boyle, Rick Vandenburg, and Chris Caskey, from Roger Kuhl's government class celebrate their victory. The class donated 21 items per person. John Lieber wandered in to help finish off the pizza, which the student council provided to the first place class. I say Abe, you say Lynx; I say party, you say drinks. Although 87 out of 100 students polled said one of the first things that came to mind when they heard the word party was alcohol, a few students went out of their way to have parties without booze, and some found they could have a good time without drinking. In most cases, parents were unaware of the alcohol consumed at their teens' parties, but at one party, this wasn't the case. 11 A senior boy had a kegger, " said Bob Drummond '88. "His parents made everyone give up the ir car keys. To get your keys back, you had to pass a sobriety test given by the parents. If you failed, you didn't drive, and if you didn't give up your keys, you didn't get into the party. I thought it was pretty responsible of the parents.'' At a party held by some junior guys, security guards were provided to prevent minors from sneaking alcohol into the party. "I'll never forget the party I went to in Crescent," said Stacy Woods '88. "It seemed like everyone in Council Bluffs was planning on going to it. It started to rain, so I figured it would be cancelled, but I went anyway. When I stepped out of the car, I sank in about a foot of mud. ''There was a live band and everyone was either dancing, socializing, or going on hay-rack rides. There was no alcohol, and it was the best time I'd had in a long time, that is, until I had to wash my car.'' Every once in a while someone had a party with a different twist. At one noalcohol party, guests made pasta. "Amy Fenner (' 88) threw a party for the football players," said Brian Young '88. "We went to he r house afte r the game and helped make dinne r. We rolled out the dough and made all diffe re nt kinds of pasta and breadsticks. I thought it was more fun to make the food than to eat it!" Another booze free party was a "black and white" birthday celebration. "My parents rented the old YMCA for my 18th "SLOW DOWN, I CAN'T EA T THAT FAST!" Party-goers Aranee Smith, Chris Stom, and Brian Young feed Michelle Hughes cookies at Amy Fenner's pasta party. GUMBY AND FRIENDS.

After some students had non-alcoholic parties, a few partiers realized they didn't always have to get trashed to have a good time. (In addition , they could remember what happened!) Parties 9 1 Some dare to differ 1 in a world of clones ~ o, we weren't factory produced, but from the looks of our hair styles, it seemed like we were. Almost everyone followed the trends. Of 80 girls polled, 53 said their hair was at least to their shoulders and mostly one length. Of 70 guys polled, 41 said their hair was short and straight. Even though the trends were strong, some dared to defy them. "I had always wanted to have bright red hair for fun," said Joni Johnson '89. "When I was in London, I decided to get it since styles were more advanced and the cost was less." Beth Ranney '88, adopteci her hairstyle for the fun of it. " I've learned it's more fun to look a little bizarre than to just go along with the trends," she said. "I am happier looking like I want to, instead of trying to .look like others." Because these people were different, they sometimes received ridicule from their peers. For example, Rick Rohrburg '88, was threatened because he wore his hair long. "Thirteen people wanted to fight me because of my hair," he said. "Once someone told me they were going to cut it off." Ranney said her hair, short in the back with long curly bangs, made others suspicious. She had one ANTICIPATING A NEW "DO," Lyna Gittens prepares to get a hair cut at Regis. thing to say to those who stuck with trends and were quick to judge: "I wish people wouldn't criticize those who stray from the norm. Life would be boring if we all looked, felt, and acted the same!" THREAD BARE· Despite holes in their clothes, guys don't shop 'til they drop Y ou searched your closet for something to wear, but most of your clothes were out of style, too small, or ragged. Visions of a trip to the nearest mall flooded your head. You thought of pushy sa lesmen, dingy dressing rooms, and scads of clothes you would have to try on. You didn't want to trudge around a mall for hours, but you were desperate. A lot of guys shared these sentiments, delaying shopping trips until their only alternative was wearing jockey shorts to school. "I try to stay away from shopping for clothes as long as I can," said Derek Bristol 1 0 Student Life '89. "I hate tromping around a guys' section of a store and being attacked by salesmen the minute I walk in the door." Some guys made the trip more bearable by taking a girlfriend. "Girls make the trip less boring and I want their opinion on c loth es I try on," sa id Corey Ranslem '88. Others went with parents, but the experience wasn't always enjoyable. "I don't like my parents going with me because we always disagree on clothing," said Steve Perry '89. "I only go with them because they have the money." Guys put off the trip as long as they could, but most eventually ventured out to update their wardrobes. "HMMMMM. DO I HAVE MATCHING PANTS?" Greg Blowers wonders as he and Dan Poulos shop for sweaters at Hal's in the Mall of the Bluffs. Blowers spent $20 a month on clothes. \ . • I T here's an old saying that when the stock market goes up, so do hemlines, and when the stock market falls, hemlines follow. In August, the stock market reached an all time high, and so did a few hemlines, but after Oct. 19 when the market took a nose dive, girls proved that old saying wrong by wearing more short skirts than ever. In fact, 73 of 100 girls said they preferred minis. "I love to wear short skirts because they' re cooler and more comfortable," said Heather Hough '89. ''Also, guys notice you more in a mini." Most guys did approve of the short skirts. "I like it when girls with nice legs wear short skirts because it gives you something to look at when "WHAT DO YA THINK?"

While relaxing in the library, Amy Wheeler enjoys the latest "ELLE." you're walking through the halls," said Randy Goeser '90. But some girls avoided the hiked hems for the sake of convenience. "I wear long skirts because getting up earlier to shave my legs when I want to wear a mini skirt is a hassle," said Kristi Kuper '91. "And it's a pain worrying about a perverted boy looking up my skirt.'' Some girls not only resisted the change but resented the pressure designers put on them. "I hate it that male designers make these short skirts for us to wear,'' said Vanessa Hansen '91. "I don't wear them because not everybody looks as good in them as the models who display them." Some girls skirted the whole skirt issue by wea r - ing pants. "Sometimes when I'm really tired or get up late," said Tonya Hauser '90, "I just throw on the first pair of sweats I find and go to school.'' Fashion 11 A s Chad Driscoll '90 stared at the empty school, an idea began io form in his head. He walked cautiously past the student parking lot toward the gym, making sure no one was around. He smiled as he thought of how many times he had wanted to do this and how he finally had his chance. At the top of the stairs outside the gym, he dropped his board to the pavement, hopped onto it, and took a deep breath. With the chopping of the wheels echoing in his ears, he bounced his way down the steps, kicking his board into the air several times and landing on it. When he hit bottom, he knew his mission had been accomplished. Like Driscoll, many hardcore skaters risked injury for the thrill of flying through the air and landing squarely on a narrow slab of wood atop four slick wheels. "It's a movement against gravity. When you skate, you get a natural high, and I like that feeling," said Scott York '89. Many skaters considered skateboarding a challenging sport. "It really gets my adrenaline goin' when I perform a new trick," said Todd Akers '89. "I'm always in competition with other skaters, and that helps motivate me to try harder things.'' While other athletes competed to win trophies, set season records, or gain 12 Student Life mention in the paper, skaters competed just to gain the knowledge that they were the best. "Competing is exciting because each time it's different, and your tricks become more advanced," said Akers. ''When someone else gets better, it becomes a challenge to beat them. Tricks that are neat like wall rides, are always harder because they involve difficult maneuvers.'' In striving to become better than the best, enthusiasts practiced everywhere, at schools, on downtown streets, and on neighborhood ramps. "I skate about four hours a day during the week and six hours a day on the weekends," said David Hovey '91. "I love it because I can cut loose and forget about everything else." While almost all skaters spent huge amounts of time on the sport, only a few were lucky enough to be able to spend lots of money on their boards. "I spent $80 on my board when I bought it from a friend," said Tony Cook '89. "At the time I didn't have the money to buy a new one that would cost about $130. Even though I got it used, I'm happy with the one I have." No matter what it cost, hardcore boarders skated to master tricks and achieve success. WHICH WAY IS UP?

While most students went out to eat, Woicke gave his friends a "birds eye view" of the metro area in a Piper Warrior airplane. Woicke took three years of flying lessons, including 20 hours with an instructor and 20 hours solo on routes ranging from 100 to 500 mil es. "The only time I was a little nervous was the first time I soloed," Woicke said, " but now it's just like driving a car." Although the pilot may not have been a bundle of nerves, the passengers had a few butterflies in their stomachs before the flight. "I was a little scared at first because I'd only flown once, and I didn't really remember what it was like," said Mary Gard '89, "but after we were up flying for a while, and we started looking at everything in Council Bluffs and Omaha, I really had a great time."

Like King, 25 of 100 students polled dieted to shed a few extra pounds. Some students who found dieting hard sought professional help. "At Gold's Gym they put me on a nutritional diet plan and evaluated my fitness level," said Toby Ball '90. "Then they set up an exercise program for the areas of my body that needed the most improvement." Seventy-five of 100 students said they regularly exercised to keep fit. "I run, do aerobics, and bike to keep my mind off school and other things," said Stacy Woods '88. Over 35 percent of the students said keeping in shape benefitted them athletically. Over the summer I lifted weights at Tee Jay,'' said Troy Gibler '91. "When football started, I was more prepared to handle the hard practices.'' Students felt exercising built up not only their bodies but their self-esteem.

BURNED OUT: Tobacco users struggle to break their habit I twas Friday, the fifth day since you quit smoking. The week was almost up and you'd resisted temptation. Then you heard a match strike, and you smelled the smoke. Your willpower weakened ... You had to have a drag. In a poll of 90 students, 31 said they used tobacco products and half of those said they had tried to quit but were unsuccessful. "I know it's a bad habit," said Lisa Davis '90, "but every time I think I have it kicked, one of my friends smokes and offers me one and I just can't resist. Even though most attempts to quit were unsuccessful, 80 percent of smokers agreed that starting was a big mistake. "It's addictive and can be fatal," said Tony Cook '89. "I've already noticed I cough more than I used to." Tobacco usage wasn't limited to smoking; chew, another popular vice, was used by 15 percent of students. "I started chewing about five years ago," said Rory Nihsen '90. "I thought it was cool. My friends did, so it was the 'in' thing." Like smokers, almost 95 percent of the chewers had tried to quit, but almost all were unsuccessful. Those who quit did it out of fear. 11 A lot of my friends were getting sores in their mouths," said Jason Eyre '89. "I'm lucky I haven't gotten sores yet.

In desperation, she grabbed the toothpaste and smeared it all over her face . She felt quite strange as she used the treatment for the next two nights, but when Monday came, he r face was completely clear. "I didn't think it would work," said Fiala. "I was afraid to try it because I thought I might break out even worse. I was glad it actually worked." Although most students used more conventional remedies, 78 of 94 polled said they tried many products before finding one that cleared their skin. "I've tried all kinds of medicine, but I prefer Strydex," said John Lee '90. "I wash my face two times a day, and since I've been doing this, my face has cleared, but I'm still not completely satisfied." For a few students with serious skin probl e ms, modern medicine supplied a miracle drug called Acutane. "My face was pretty bad," said Mike Housley '89. "Sometimes I didn't go to school because I didn't want people to see the way I looked. So I tried Acutane. While I was taking it, my skin dried out really bad and I got nose bleeds all the time.

You hoped you still would have a voice when the high-pitched ringing turned into a polite "Hello." The terror you felt couldn't be avoided a moment longer.

"After being cited for having open beer at Fairmount Park last year, I had to call my mom and tell her,'' said K"endra Cory '90. "Since I was staying at a friend's house, I put the call off for as long as possible. I didn't sleep that night, but when I was ready to go home in the morning, I knew I had to call her to break the news.''

"I wanted to ask this girl to Homecoming. When I dialed her number, I felt like I was going to die, my heart was beating so hard," he said. No matter what the call was or how terrifying it seemed, most felt relieved afterwards. ''When I called to break up with my boyfriend, I felt really stupid and nervous," said Kim Shipley '90.

"Once, after I had just talked to Bob (Rhodes '89), he called me," said Krissy Love '89. "We talked about people, school, and other things for over four hours." At first, talking was easy.

It worked! Like this girl, many students opted for a fake ID. Fortunately for them, ID's were easily obtained. For Jeff Kenkel '88, it was just a matter of borrowing his brother's birth certificate and dropping in at the Nebraska Driver License Station in Omaha. Other students found close friends or relatives who resembled them slightly and agreed to hand over their licenses. But having a fake ID wasn't smooth sailing. Apprehension interfered with the "easy life." One senior girl thought that since she had an ID, she needn't worry about people questioning her age. But much to her surprise, she was called on her bluff by a bouncer at a bar. Fearful after his threat to turn her in, the girl pleaded with him not to tell the authorities.

For others, an open mind and some time were all that was needed to bridge the gap. "The thing that made me so angry was that my stepfather had bought his son the second pair of tennis shoes since school started, and then when he gave me the $10, he had the nerve to say he needed a payback," said the girl. "It was hard getting used to my mom's new husband, but after about two months, I felt like he was my real father," said a sophomore girl. For others, it was a real struggle to keep the peace, but they made the effort for the sake of their biological parent. At least 75 students had made the adjustment to a stepparent, and even though they sometimes found the experience painful, most said they tried to make the best of it. "At first, I really hated my stepmother for always yelling at me, so firrnlly, I sat down to "I can't stand my stepmother because she expects perfection, but I feel if she can make my father a happy man, I can try my hardest to get along with her," said a junior boy. AMEN1 Born-again find new life precious c urling up in a cozy corner of her bedroom, Rachel Stageman '88, anticipated the thrill of reading her favorite book - the Bible. "To grow as a Christian, you need to read God's word," said Stageman. "It's spiritual food, so I read it eve ry night." Stageman said she was a born-again Christian; and a poll of 90 students revealed that 17 had experie nced a rebi rt h in Christ which had changed their lives. " You are a born -aga in Christian whe n you commit your life to Christ," said Stagema n. " Yo u do this by praying to Him to forgive you and 2 2 Student Life shape your future ." Gretchen Johnson '88, a born-again Christian, said many who think they are Christians might not be. "It's more than going to church on Sundays," she said. "It needs to be all or nothing for Christ." Living for Christ meant stud en ts had to make many changes in their lives. "I made my commitment on the Grace Church youth group's ski trip to Colorado," said Jeff Wall '88. "Since then, I've wanted to shout to the world that I'm a bornagain Christian. "I no longer cuss, I go out with girls who are Christians, and I try to be more positive." But changing didn't take the fun out of living. "You meet so many interesting people who share your feelings about God," said Wall, "and there are other fun things like Christian T AKIN' A BREAK.

You know I've seen a Iotta people walkin' round With tombstones in their eyes But the pusher don't care If you live or if you die. Like the group Steppenwolf sings, drug abuse had a few students seeing tombstones. But they realized that having control of their lives was more important than the high. "I was dropped from my freshman year without a job and nothing to do but party my head off,'' said Dan Winchester '90. "After finding me passed out in the bathroom, my mom took me to treatment. Now I have a 2.0 instead of .O!" Kicking any habit takes determination, but for those who were chemically dependent, treatment was the quickest and easiest start to staying sober. "There wasn't an opportunity to use, so the temptation wasn't there, and I could really concentrate on what was important to me," said Jason Schnoor '89, who had gone through treatment at Mercy Hospital. For others, however, treatment just wasn't enough. "I was a vegetable from doing pot, cocaine, P. C. P., and fifty hits of acid in about a year and a half. If I h adn't asked my parents for help, I would've died," said Kyle Himebaugh '88. "But when I was to leave treatment, I said to my counselor, 'I still don't know how to stay sober', and that's when I went to the halfway house (Progress Hall). "Thanks to my family, therapist, friends, and lots of prayers, I've been sober for nine months.'' But those who tried to quit without a support system endured a long, seemingly endless battle. "I started out with pot and alcohol in the fifth grade, and constantly searching for that eternal buzz, I ended up doing anything from acid to cocaine. /1 said Tom Clark '88. "I decided to quit in ninth grade because I was becoming brain dead. But I'm still 'quitting.' /1 Even those who had quit successfully knew they were never out of danger. "I just take it one day at a time." said Virginia Amsdan '89. "I know if I went back to my old habit just once, all my work would be shot to hell." Deciding to change may have been the most difficult choice these teens had ever made, but their lives were well worth the fight. You know I declare Total war On the pusher man.

But like it or not, Christmas time was on its way, bringing not only headaches and more relatives, but more spirit and surprises than we could have imagined.

Amy Wheeler '88, thought no one could ever fulfill her heart's desire because she had asked for a boyfriend.

The Foreign Exchange Club, sponsors of the Christmas Dance for 16 years, had put out 11 hours of manpower to transform the gym into the most elaborate winter wonderland ever. The enormous gym had been turned into a cozy dance hall by a white ceiling of plastic that loomed 15 feet above dancers' heads and was covered with 1500 floating balloons. Under the sky of rose, white and ice blue balloons, couples shuffled through a forest of fake snow, blue poinsettias, and decorated pines. After dates warmed up to tunes spun by All American Music, "The Big Chill" wasn't so cold, especially when the anxiety and laughter rose during the coronation of prince and princess.

The prince and princess were finally announced, and Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You" was dedicated to their highnesses John Hiffernan '88, and Kelly Malskeit '88. Knowing there would be lots of presents to unwrap, parties to attend, hills to conquer at Mt. Cresent, and endless hours of T.V. t o watch, students left the dance, dedicating the next week and a half to their longawaited vacation . "The Friday after Christmas I had three friends spend the night," said Kim Dahlgaard '91. "We got up at noon the next day and spent almost all of our Christmas money at the Westroads. That night, we had more friends over and watched VCR movies until 4 a.m." Some students, however, chose to dedicate most of their vacation to a job or extracurricular activity. "I think I had two days off during the whole vacation. Between a couple of shopping trips to the Mall, I either had practice or games everyday," said Marsha Hoffman '88, " and the rest of the time, I worked on yearbook spreads and filled out college applications. There went my vacation." But for Hoffman and the rest of the girls' basketball team, the e xtra work was worth the effort. With only eight members of their team playing, the Lady Lynx battled it out with the number one nked team in Nebraska during the first round of the Metro Holiday Tournament Dec. 26.

An astonished crowd ambled back into the auditorium, forming little groups to try to figure out what had really happened. Each group had a different story, and expressions like "his appendix burst" and "he needs to see his psychiatrist!" exuded from each. Actually, Holmes had suffered from an attack of claustrophobia due to nerves and a boxed-in feeling in the lower part of the set. Although Holmes had played the part of Mr. Kraler, NAZI BRUTALITY.

"Theater is problem solving," said Stephen Brockway, drama coach. "Professionalism is shown in how performers solve problems, and these kids did that very well." The main problem they faced was losing four actors during six weeks of rehearsals. "We lost Mr. Frank, who was to be played by Astor Salcedo, because of basketball, and Mrs. Frank, who was to be played by Tanya Rocheleau, because of sickness," said Fender, who played Miep. "Plus the flu virus was going around, so a lot of us PUTTING ON A LIGHT TOUCH, Mike Gray applies his stage makeup in the stagecraft room, which was used for a dressing room, before the Saturday performance, Dec. 5. ingthem missed several rehearsals." The cast even considered postponement of the play. 11 After Astor left, we thought about postponing the show until March, when he could come back," said Mindy Brewer '88, who played Mrs. Van Daan. "But several of us had commitments later, so we decided to go ahead in December." Though problems persisted, the cast learned to cope. "I replaced Tanya, so I started about two weeks later than the others and I was having trouble memorizing my lines," said Jamie Weilage '89. "So a couple of weeks after I started, my mother began reading lines to me to help me memorize." Getting into character was especially difficult since the actors could hardly imagine the intense fear the Nazi Jews felt. "To get into character," said Eric Wyant '90, who played Mr. Frank, "we'd play no rock music before rehearsals. We called each other by the names of our characters and did the best we could to set the mood and personality for each other." Their hard work paid off. More than 240 people attended the intimate backstage performances. "I really enjoyed the show," said Katie McGuire '88. "It opened my eyes and made me see the sheer fright and suspense of Nazi Jews' everyday life." "MAY I HOLD THE KITTY?" As Anne, Dawn Shipley admires the cat in Travis Walker's arms.

"It must have taken at least 100 times before I got that word right," said Hoover. I .just could not say it. I still get teased about it." That evening in the choir room was representative of more than 40 nights of rehearsal. Because the unlucky THREE'S COMPANY when Lisa Hough, Kim Bass, and Molly Mortensen sing one of the chorus numbers in the aisle during dress re- hearsal. cast suffered uncontrollable setbacks, neither hard work nor talent alone could result in success. But a mixture of both, spiced generously with friendship and comraderie, resulted in a hit production which received a standing ovation at its Friday night performance. "All of us were really close anyway because of swing choir," said Shane Sanders '88. "But before rehearsals started, Mr. Brockway told us that for the sake of the musical, it was essential that any differences between us be put aside. After that, we realized how important it was to always try and get along." The cast members made costumes a group effort by holding a costume parade so that they could model their rainbow colored body suits, tinfoil robot costumes, and e __ oun ___ flouncy dresses. After the sh.ow, everyone made suggestions on how to - improve each costume. "The costume parade was a good tension breaker because all of us ended up teasing each other about the strange outfits we had dug up," said Jean Gibson '89. · But the production wasn't trouble free. Less than one week before opening night, anxiety replaced confidence when several leads caught colds, and Kim Capel '88, came down with laryngitis. "Luckily, Mr. Spann knew a doctor who could prescribe something," said Capel. "I would have felt horrible if I couldn't have done my part because they would have had to reblock the entire musical."

"I felt really discouraged after that, but they could have been worse," said Walker. "For every two people saying something rude, there were four people telling them to shut up!"

Yeah, PROM. " I know the thought had crossed my mind a few hundred times since Christmas dance, but I never had the nerve to say it. I mean I had a month, or about 800 hours to find a date and plan prom so it would be a cherished night I could tell my children about in 15 years." Planning seemed to be a vital part of prom festi vities, and although most couples had a general idea of what their evening would hold in store, details didn't work out as planned for many couples. "Everything was going to be perfect," said Windy Kennedy '89. "We were leaving at 5 p.m., going to Maxine's fo r dinn e r, going to the dance, and ending the evening at the post prom party. But then my date and I broke up a week before the prom, so I had to find a date and reorganize everything. In the end, it all worked out, but it was a lot of trouble." Individuals weren't the only ones who had trouble making plans. "It seemed like we spent hours going nowhere when we talked about decorating," said Bob Rhoades '89, chairman of the Junior Class decor at ions committee . "We didn't know exactly what we were doing until prom morning, and that didn't give us much time to get organized." Some members of the class had been busy for days making preparations for that final morning of decorating. They had been scouting nearby forests for small, similar . shaped trees. They cut them down, returned them to school, and painted them white.

"I swear I must have made 200 trips into the woods trying to find trees that were alike," said Junior Class president Richard Streepy '89. "It was a lot harder than I · thought it would be to cut down scrub brushes and make them look decent." Despite the problem of transporting the cement laden trees to the U.N.O . ballroom, the end product, an entry way of trees shimmering with pink cellophane bows and clear lights, was a sight most prom goers would always remember. "The trees were pretty original," said Nicole Askins '89. "I'd never seen anything like that done before. It reminded me of something in a fairytale scene." As for being unbelievable, the "Argyles" consisting of instructors Christine Wahl, Ron Lakatos, Roger Pierson, and Mike Tripp were the hit rom of post prom. "The red dresses, overstuffed chests, long black hair, and black shades made the group this year," said David Jones '88. "They were singing 'Stop in the Name of Love' and looked really fruity." Even though post prom was part of the plan for most couples, a few ventured out to their own after-prom party, but found they had more difficulties than they had counted on. "We went to our hotel room after dinner in order to drop off our clothes and things," said Debbie Dolezal '88, "but they kicked us out before we stepped in the door.

" Even those who had every detail worked out before prom still encountered last minute chaos. "Things were crazy at the last minute," said Cindy Juel '88. "Since we were taking a limo , we wanted to ha ve champagne, so my mom took me to find some nonalcoholic champagne. We never thought we'd have to drive all around Omaha and Council Bluffs to find it. But I had the best time, and any way, I guess little things like that make the evening so special." As for those who didn't find a date, the majority made other plans so they would have a special evening too. Since I didn't have a date, Rachel Ratigan ('89) and I went to Des Moines," said Brooke Ratley '89. "We went shopping and out for dinner at an expensive restaurant. It was fun because we didn't spend as much money as we would have in order to go to prom, and I got some new clothes. It would have been nice to go, but at least we didn't sit home feeling sorry for ourselves." Although Price didn't find a date, her evening wasn't a total loss. "I went to work prom night since everyone with a date had taken the evening off, and I was planning on going to post prom afterwards. Well, one of the guys I work with at Hy-Vee didn't have anything to do, so I asked him to come along. Not only did we go to post prom, but he asked me to go to his prom." So Price would experience all the hassles of programming a prom night afterall, and she would have a story to tell her children.

But classmates knew better as they lined up to march, clutching marbles and super balls in their hands. For the most part, graduation 1988 held more surprises and laughter than tears _ and sadness. Of course, there were a few wet eyes as the band played "Ponip and Circumstance" and as the choir sang " Don't Say Good-bye," but - almost unanimously, the Class of '88 was ready to rejoice. "The only time I cried was right after I marched in, and I thought of how at practice, Mr. Scheibeler had told us, 'Look around because this is probably the last time you'll see a lot of these people, said Jodi Potter '88. "That made me super sad, but other than that, I thought the ceremony was a blast! " Cheers erupted from the audience as symposium speaker Mindy Brewer '88, quoted lyrics like "We don't need no education" fro~ songs by Pink Floyd and Bono. Then during the awarding of diplomas, nearly 120 guys gave board member JoAnne Carrithers a marble with the right hand as they shook hands and accepted diplomas with the left. "It was a good thing I wore my blazer with pockets; I almost didn't because of the heat," said Carrithers. "Every time my pockets got ful_I, I just dumped the marbles into the diploma box. " Jon Leiber tried to give me a whole handful of them, so I just held my pocket out for him. "At the end, I wanted to get up and say, 'Congratulations to all the graduates and especially to all of those who lost their marbles!' I thought it was really funny! " Individuals' antics also livened up the ceremony. As Rick Rohrberg '88, sauntered up to receive his diploma, he made victory signs wit h his hands and let out one of his famous hallway screeches. Near the end, the Senior Class played graduation volleyball with beach balls. "Troy Spencer and I had them in our pockets du ring the ceremony," said Jerry Cundiff '88. " Towards the end, we blew them up and started throwing them around. " Finally, to the chants of Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!, class preside nt Kevin Marsh motioned for the tradition a l t urning of the tassles, and graduates joyfully t hrew super balls into the air. It was the ir last escapade as a class, and grad uates walked out smilin g, knowing they had made the most of it. GRADUATION Date: Matt 23 Ti.me: f :OO Place: {j'fm AT LAST!

" Many of us remembered singing these words during Saturday morning cartoons, but we never understood what they truly meant. But on Sept. 16, the social studies department sponsored Constitution Day to help students understand and appreciate the United States' most important document. "We wanted students to realize how important the signing of the Constitution was and be able to look back in 20 years and remember the bicentennial," said Dennis Devault, social studies lead teacher. Teachers weren't the only contributors to the all-school assembly. Beth Tangeman '89, gave a speech on how the Constitution affects students' daily lives, and Lisa Koenig '89, read the Preamble. "I was nervous about reading my speechinfrontofeveryone, but I wanted to be part of Constitution Day," said Tangeman. The student council held a SO-foot flag while the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Several members then folded the flag, and president John Hiffernan '88, carried it out of the gym. "Scott (Sanders '89) showed us how to fold the flag, so we weren't scared to do it," said Rick Vandenburg '89. To liven up the assembly, local attorney Dean Jennings stood in front of the school, pulled an extra -1 a r g e pair of bright red sunglasses out of his suit pocket, began to snap his fingers, and sang the "Constitution Rap." "He was funny," said John Olmstead '90, and that helped break the monotony." "I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE." Student council members hold the flag during Constitution activities in the gym.

Students hope summit improves relations II I have felt that our people should have been better friends long ago," said Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to President Ronald Reagan at the summit to ban long range nuclear weapons in Dec. Many students felt relations between the Soviet Union and the United States would improve with the signing of the treaty, which elimi4 2 Fall Semester nated 50 percent of the long range missles. "I think it's good the two countries are finally getting togethe r," said Kathy Theulen '89. "Now maybe they'll think we are more willing to make deals. Maybe someday we will even forget nuclear bombs ever existed." Even though most students agreed, some felt relations would never improve. "It doesn't matter what we do," said Mike Hale '88. "Even if we get rid of the ICBM's, we still have other areas we will never agree on, such as Jiuman rights." Whether students agreed or disagreed with the signing of the treaty , they hoped, tensions between the two nations would ease. Lepley leaves for state job T rying to imagine Superintendent William Lepley in a cheerleading uniform was hard, but before he left Council Bluffs in March to head the Iowa Department of Education, Lepley said that in his new job he would be the best cheerleader Council Bluffs has ever had. After accepting the . new job in December, Lepley said he was first contacted about it a year earlier. "The governor contacted me last May," he said. "I told him I wasn't sure I wanted to move from my position to a role in the state." Lepley accepted the job on the second offer for several reasons. "I think you only go around once in life, and if you want to make a difference, you have to take chances," Lepley said. "Also, the governor made a commitment to improve the salary." Lepley accomplished many things he was proud of during his five years in Council Bluffs. "We established trust between management and teachers and between teachers and the community," Lepley said . "We had a strong program fo r gifted students ." Lepley said he FAREWELL TEA.

Although students with investor parents didn't panic, they were frightened by the effects the stock market drop could have on them. "It was sc a ry to wake up one morning and find out my coll ege mon ey was gone," said Toby Ball '90. Even though his parents lost money in the stock crash, Mike Moa ts ' 89 , wasn't concerned. "I knew the market wouldn ' t st ay down fo reve r, so I wasn't too worried," he said. " I'll probably still inv e st in the stock market myself when I'm able to.

" Mini-Gazette 4 3 Few seniors attend caucuses I n 1971, Congress gave 18-year-olds the right to vote, but on Feb. 8 at the Iowa caucuses, most students chose not to get involved. . In a poll of 100 seniors, only 12 percent said they planned to attend the caucuses. According to instructor David Tobias, this was not unusual for 18 to 20 year-olds. "It's not a high priority for them," said Tobias. "They have other things to do; it's their time to have fun. They also don't have as much at stake; they aren't taxpayers or home owners and they don't have families. It may be adults' fault for not involving them enough in politics." Students also showed on the poll that they lacked knowledge about the presidential candidates. Although 71 percent could name nine of the 13 candidates' parties, only 12 percent could match correct backgrounds and policies with at least nine of the candidates. While most seniors chose not to attend a caucus, those who did found it a rewarding experience. Emily Wilmarth '88, and Jeff Kenkel '88, attended a caucus in support of Senator Paul Simon. "I think Simon is really intelligent," said Wilmarth. "I believe in his policies and I like what I've heard him say." At the Democratic caucus, participants presented resolutions for a platform to be voted on at the county convention, ilnd then split into groups supporting the candidates. If a candidate didn't have at least 15 percent of those attending, he was disq ual if ied and all of his supporters either voted undecided or for another candidate. By evening's end, Richard Gephardt Court zaps students rights II I t only proves to me that the Constitution is just another piece of paper with eraser marks." This is what one student journalist had to say about the Supreme Court ruling for t he school board in the Hazelwood vs. Kuhlmeier case o n Jan. 13. Th e Kuhlm e ier case began in 1983 when the Haz e lwood, MO East High Sch o o l newspaper, the Spectrum, tri ed to run two articl es dealing w ith teen pregnancy and d ivorce. Principa l Robert Reynolds refused to allow the articles, saying they could be damaging to students quoted in the stories. Three student writers took the principal and school board to court, claiming First Amendment rights had been violated . The students lost the first court battle in a federal trial but appealed and had the de cision overturned in the 8th U.S. Circuit of Appeals. The school boa rd then took the case to the Supreme Court. 44 Spring Semester Students everywhere mourned the 5-3 decision for the board, and within 11 weeks, they discovered its far reaching affects. The Omaha World Herald reported in March that in Florida, Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale," was censored; in New York, a student' story for a literary magazine was deleted; and in Nevada, a satirical art project was re moved from display. Yet, Mindy Brewer ' 88, editor-in -chief of the Echoe s, said was the winner, followed by Simon, Mike Dukakis and Jesse Jackson. At the Republican caucus, a straw poll was held to elect the state caucus winner . Julie Rhoades '88, put her support behind Pete DuPont, who finished fifth behind Bob Dole, Pat Robertson, George Bush, and Jack Kemp. "I wasn't happy by the turnout," said Rhoades. "I feel DuPont could have campaigned more in Iowa. Ironically, he won in our precinct. Our results were totally different from those at the state level." the decision probably would not effect Al's journalism department. "I don't think Dr. Frick would censor the Echoes," she said. "He has always cooperated with and supported us. "It would really drive me crazy to have my rights LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTl ON.

Americans suffer Olympic-sized heart breaks A11 guts, and no glory was the theme of the Winter Olympics for the U.S. Two of America's top young athletes, speed skater Dan Jansen and figure skater Debbie Thomas, suffered big heart breaks. Due to his sister's death the day before, Jansen fell in two races. Thomas was the United States' last chance to capture another gold. The shock came when Thomas, who led after the short program, lost the gold to East Germany's Katerina Witt and the silver to Canada's Elizabeth Manley. "I couldn't believe Debbie fell twice in the long program," said Krissy Love '89. "I wanted to cry." As the games ended, U.S. favorites were skaters Bonnie Blair and Brian Boitano. Blair not only won a gold in speed skating; she did it in world record time. Boitano thrilled fans with a flawless program to edge Brian Orser of Canada for the gold. One foursome from AL was lucky enough to venture to Calgary. Chris Smith '88, Chris Caskey '89, Jim Bever '90, and Brian Harmon '89, watched 90-meter ski jumping and hockey.

But when they got through the door, director Lee Spann handed each of them a numbered envelope and lined them up as if for an execution. The bewildered vocalists stared at the faces of their parents, wondering what they were doing there and what was going on. Tim Anderson opened envelope number 1. "Dear Mr. Spann . . . "Number 2 continued building suspense with the next few words of the letter, and the process moved down the line.

Then Amy Fenner's parents, owners Young Americans National Invitational Performance Choir Festival on Apr. 23. But visions of the glamorous life in Hollywood fogged a bit when Spann told the group the unfathomable sum of money needed to make the trip. Twenty-two thousand dollars isn't easy to come by, and as soon as Spann and the ambitious committee of parents secured the school board's permission, the seven-month crusade to raise the money began. The parent committee arranged for foundations to give grants, corporate sponsors to give donations, Booster Club to sell pizzas, and practically everyone to sell raffle tickets for a Honda Civic, a skiing trip to Colorado, and a color T.V. of The Pasta Shop, catered an Italian dinner for nearly 600 people on Jan. 30, and made a profit of $2,629. Booster Club's pizza sales made $205, a garage _ sale netted $232, an auction made $280, and $8390 came in as donations. But when the group organized a basketball game between Hawkeye football players and southwest Iowa personalities, only 400 of 5000 expected fans showed up, and the choirs lost $395. "I think we needed more advertising," said Jeff Brown's mother, Mary, who kept meticulous records of the group's money." Also, it was the Sunday before the state basketball game.

Choir 49 Continued Despite the setback, the group managed to raise over $18,000. In addition to raking in the bucks, vocalists spent time memorizing songs and perfecting dance steps. Although the performances seemed effortless, a single song was often practiced 15 times in one night, and then rehearsed class after class, night after night, and month after month. "Our choreographer, John Gibson, would have a picture in his mind of how each dance should look, and it got frustrating when we didn't see the same picture," said Te na Nelson '90. "But we always did make it work." The diligence paid off when choirs earned record ratings at the state level. At the state contest on Jan. 30, New Design recei ved a I rating; at the small group contest on Mar. 26, singers received 22 I ratin gs; and at large group contest on May 6, the boys', girls', and mixed choirs all re ce ived I ratings.

In between, they went to Sunset Beach and Universal Studios and performed and played at Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. By April 23, the competition was underway. Each choir could present a show between 6 V2 and 8 minutes long with 30 seconds of acappella singing. New Design members said it was their best performance ever, and although they didn't bring home an award, they brought back invaluabl e insights. "I've never seen or heard so much talent.

Almost all of the members sold cheese, sausages, and pizzas to help put extra money in the department's account so new sheet music could be purchased and money allotted for the dew-moistened field during his solo. As Steve Perry '89, rose to his feet, his blood rose to his face. "I was absolutely embarrassed," said Perry. "It was time for my solo and I started to march backwards, away from the home stands, when I stepped on the ankle of the person behind me. After that, I lost my balance, and before I knew it, I was on the ground and no one was playing a solo." Although Perry's fall was humiliating, he and other band members had no more humiliating experiences as they worked and sacrificed to achieve suecess.

But not all members were as dedicated as Misner. "When we had the Christmas concert," said Gretchen Johnson '88, "six people didn't show up.

It seemed that we always had copy ahead of time, but photos were a different story. Staffers worked out the problems, though, and finished with a good feeling." Humor made overcoming the problems easier, and for photogs, that meant pointing the guilty finger at the troll. "Nobody has ever seen the little guy," said Jody Anderson '89. "We just made him up so we would have somebody to blame when things go wrong in the darkroom. It's a running joke that relieves the pressure and makes a photog smile to say the troll did it." Other times, determination was all that kept photogs snapping pictures. Kathy Westphal '90, said she was assigned a spread in early March that she didn't complete until early May. "I had to retake and print the dominant picture for an academic spread about ten times before I got one that would work on the layout," said Westphal.

"People wait 'til the last minute to type stories, layout gets de layed, eve rything gets rushed and scary, and we get frustrated."

Like Pechacek, many members of service clubs gained special memories from their group's activities.

" I felt honored and thrilled being able to do that while everyone in the school was watching me. It was a oncein-a-lifetime chance." Foreign Exchange Club members also had a year to remember. While planning the Christmas Dance, they faced continual problems, including lack of money. Then once Dec. 19 rolled around, fewer than 15 people showed up to decorate. Yet, the small group worked hard to achieve a "Big Chill" mood, hanging icicles around the doorways, flocking three Christmas trees, sprinkling artificial snow on the floor, looking Christmas dances ever. "All day while we were decorating I was upset because nothing was going right," said Michelle Stone '88. "But once I got to the dance that night, I realized how perfect everything looked and forgot about all the little horrible things that happened." Another service group that felt its efforts were worthwhile was National Honor Society. To have its annual induction ceremony, members spent after-school time working in committees to finish collecting new inductee information, writing speeches, gathering a resume on each of the Hall of Fame inductees, and sending invitations. "Michelle (Stone) and I spent a lot of time writing the resumes for the new inductees," said Molly Swank '88. "While (continued on page 65) NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

Key Club members kept busy and gained memories all year by publishing a school phone book, organizing Teacher Appreciation Week, ice skating at Ak-Sar-Ben, and selling St. Patrick's Day flowers to raise money for conventions. "The best part this year was being elected governor of Nebraska and Iowa. After the election, a whole roomful of people gave me a standing ovation," said Corey Ranslem '88. "I also got to travel to Philadelphia, PA and Anaheim, CA for conventions." In yet another service group, different kinds of memories were gained. "OKAY, I THINK l'VE GOT IT NOW!" Finally understanding, Adrian Hoag works on an algebra assignment with Bill White's help. White and other NHS members tutored every morning at 7:30. Members of the Leadership Academy attended weekly meetings where-the.y learned principles and techniques of leadership. "I really learned how to be a positive leader," said Jennifer Sherman '90. "Mr. Brockway taught us that having the right attitude and self-esteem goes into being a good leader. If I ever get involved in leadership in the future, I will remember the principles he taught us." An often unnoticed club was Courtesy Club. These members attended open houses and graduation to pass out programs and serve as ushers and guides. "It takes a lot, but it's worthwhile if a parent or someone finds us helpful and appreciates us," said Becky Olsen '88. "That's all we're really here for." The members of service-oriented groups unselfishly gave of themselves and their time to help others. They gladly offered this help without expecting anything in return. After all the hard work was done, though, service club members were rewarded with special and unforgettable memories bound to stay with them forever. FUTURE LEADER.

Along with learning about upcoming competitions, the nine DECA members had two days and nights of fun in Chicago.

They listen to rock music, get together with friends, and go to McDonald's. Just another half hour, right after dinner (liver and onion soup), and they'd be plopping down on their bean bags, feasting their an xious eyes on the main attraction of the evening - Carl Sagan's weekly program. Intriguing as this may sound, this scene was left in the Sixties, for in 1988, modern day academic club members in foreign language and the Brain Bowl found more interesting ways to reinforce what they learned in class. For instance, in French Club, members got a sampling of France's culture via their taste buds. "For the Christmas party, we had peppered beef roast, plain lace salad, cheese, cauliflower, scalloped potatoes, French bread, and grape juice," said • CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

"I really enjoyed the evening; the food was really good, I had fun decorating beforehand, and it gave me a chance to learn more about French culture. "In France, the meal is very important. They get two hours off from school to go home and eat lunch because their normal meal takes from an hour and a half to two hours." Andrea Ellingsen '89, also benefited from the Christmas party. "We each brought a French dish so we got to taste French food," said Ellingsen. "It made the culture a lot more interesting, especially to hear Doreen, the foreign exchange student from France, talk about teen lifestyle. Listening to Doreen made everything we learned in class seem more real." German Club also strengthened classroom learning. For initiation, new members could speak only German for a half-hour, or else face the consequences. If they slipped up, old members mercilessly fed them caramel-covered onions. "Scott Wheeler had to eat six caramel-covered onions, or it may have been more, I'm not sure," said Lischka Gearhart '88. (continued on page 71) CAREFUL!

All in all, whether academic dubbers were tasting tempting tidbits, working towards a trip, or playing boa·rd games, they all found interesting ways to reinforce classroom learning. SCIENCE CLUB.

Were they FBI agents investigating a crime? No, they were students and teachers who broke the budget cut barrier that had limited spending on field trips in 1988. Despite tight money, they ventured out to get first hand knowledge on subjects studied in class. One such group was instructor Roger Pearson's retailing class, which traveled to the Mall of the Bluffs to get tips from managers on advertising and marketing. "We learned things that made me see the mall differently. We learned about Christmas decorating, leasing procedures, and advertising promotions," said Tyler French '89. "It wasn't your ave rage field trip because we went to a place we knew and learned new things about it." Instructor Larry Brown's economics class trave led further away to the Pe ter Ki ewitt Ce nte r in Omaha to study the business world. "We competed against other teams to see who could make the most profit developing, researching, and marketing prod ucts in a compute r simulation .

"We got to tour the maternity ward. It was really neat!," said Stacey Yeoman '89. "I work up at the hospital, but I learned things I never knew. I had never seen a baby born until I watched it on film that day." Instructor Julie Babbit's Career Health class also went to the hospital to learn about lab work. "We saw how lab technicians test blood, count blood cells, and work the blood bank," said Nancy Conway '89. "When I make up my mind on what I want to do, I'll keep what I learned in mind." Conway wasn't the only one who got career ideas from a field trip. While studying The Miracle Worker, instructors Jacque Hall and Geri Livermore took their Honors English classes to Iowa School of the Deaf to gain a better understanding of deaf education, and a few students began to consider deaf education as a career. "Some friends and I are going back just to learn more," said Melanie Freed '91. "I knew I wanted to be a teacher I but now I know I want to teach the blind and deaf.

'' Odd numbers had girl egg babies, even numbers had boys, and certain numbers had twin or triplets. Kris Weaver '89 '' akin it becomes one way students learn and have fun during classes L ittle boys pretended to be race car drivers pushing tiny match boxes around the room, while girls raided Mommy's closet for high heels and clothes to wear while caring for their favorite dollies. Just as children used their imagination for learning and fun, students found pretending important for learning and loosening up in the classroom. Students in instructor Patti Ford's Child Care class, for example, learned to care for delicate egg babies instead of tattered dolls. "We drew numbers to determine sex," said Kris Weaver '89. "Odd numbers had girl egg babies, even numbers had boys, and certain numbers had twins or triplets." Before the babies were born, students recorded in a journal what women went through during pregnancy and made financial plans for the birth. Everyday, Ford checked the eggs for her name stamp and rolled the eggs on a desk to make sure students hadn't hardboiled them. Because Ford tried to make caring for egg babies as similar as possible to caring for children, students had to suffer the consequences if their eggs were lost, broken, or stolen. One poor student, Michelle Bartlett '88, lost one of her triplets. "When I was getting out of the car, Ashley fell and broke," said Bartlett. " I had to call the fun e ral home for the cost of an infant's casket, and then I recorded the information in my journal." Social Studies classes also role played. In instructor Sidney Klopper's govern - ment class, students participated in a mock election in which they campaigned for office by giving speeches on world problems and voting for the mock candidate of their choice. In another class, students invested in the stock market with paper money. "We started with $900 and investe d in whatever we wanted for $10 a share ," said Jason Evans '91 . "Everyday Mr. Klopper told us whether our stock went up or down. I ended up with only $75, so I didn't do too well, but it was fun." Most of the time students learned new information and skills through role playing, but in speech class, they pretended just for the sake of loosening up. "We got into groups an d prete nded to be a machine by attachi ng ourselves toge ther and moving our bod ies in different directions," said Tim Blair '90. Students also had fun pretending during pantomines in instructor Marsha Grandick's speech class. " Ours was really fun ny. We pretended we were fish ing," said Dan Fichter '90. "We acted like we were drink ing bee r an d hooke d each other in the heads when we casted out our lines." Whe ther practicing for parenthood or acting out a crazy fishing trip, stude nts benefited from pretending in the classroom. '' In psych, Mr. Willard will suddenly start yelling and hitting the tables to get his point across. Aliso~ Brown '90 '' Chalk tall~ : reqmres a few special techniques to keep students' attention ''I·. n the middle of a lecture, he'll draw a red dot on the overhead, go up so it looks like it's on his forehead and say, 'Hey, like it? It's calle d the Gorbachev look," said Curt Hutchinson '88, about Ron Lakatos, computer programming instructor. "He will do the weirdest things to keep our attention." Although they could be dreary and dull, lectures were made bearable, even spell-binding, by effective techniques and fasc inating subject matter. "Mr. Willard is so interesting to listen to and watch in psych," said Alison Brown '90 . " He is always walking around the room, and he'll be just talking wl:ien suddenly, he'll start yelling and hitting the tables to get his point across." Chemistry was also made easie r by instructor Dennis Schmoker's lecturing tech niques. " Mr. Schmoke r always uses the overhead, which makes it easie r for us to take notes than if he was just rattling o n," said Andrea Ellingsen '89. According to a poll of 60 stude nts, important factors whe n a teacher lectured included moving about the room, varying speaking tone, and showing e njoyment in presenting the lecture, and injecting humor. Sometimes, though, the subject matter alone kept students from daydreaming in class. In Larry Kenny's social studies classes, his students stayed awake listening to gruesome stories of medieval torture. "His lecture on the persecution of people was really eye-opening," said Janelle Misner '90. "We talked about people being hanged by their thumbs, thumb screws that were twisted until the knuckles broke, and drawing and quartering." When a guest speaker came into a classroom, students liked to hear about real life experiences. For example, when counselor Barry Coates talked about study habits in the underclass honors English classes, students liste ne d eagerly to tales of his high school days. "Mr. Coates had the same problems then that we have now," said David Gaupp '91, "He didn't like doing his work and was always getting in trouble. Half the people in my English class are like that, too." The American Government class also heard ancedotes from one man's life. " Officer McGlade of the police department came to talk about his job and told us about things that really happened to him," said Brad He izer '89. "When he was telling us about criminals trying to bribe him and how the police set up roadblocks for curfew, I knew for sure that I wanted to go into law enforceme nt." Whethe r they use d an explanatory lecture or told stories from the past, teachers and guest speakers opened the ears and minds of students through the .power of the spoken word.

Shelly Ferris '90 '' have fun, cut stress, and learn how to cooperate with others Y ou could find them everywhere, in English, science, journalism, and home economics. They came in groups of three or four. Sometimes, they got a little noisy, but most of the time, they were productive. They were groups of students who worked on critiquing each others' stories, making a Thanksgiving turkey, dissecting pigs, or researching people from ancient civilizations. Doing work in groups often made class time more enjoyable. "In Foods class we always baked in grot1ps. We usually got to pick our fri e nds so it was fun," said Shelly Ferris '90. "Sometimes we eve n ended up in a food fight until Mrs. Tangeman realize d what a mess we had made." Home economics wasn't the only class in which groups of students had fun with food. "In English, we had to do a project a b o u t t h e G ree ks," said Mich e ll e Hughes '88. "My group mad e an amphithe ate r out of graham crackers, M&M's, Marshmallows, peanut butter, and toothpicks. Eve n though it took a lot of work, it was fun ." Eve n mo re stressful assignm e nts co uld be fun whe n wo rking in groups. "In World History, our class split into two groups. O ne had to research the patricians, and the othe r had to resear c h the p le bi ans. We found out things like the ir occupatio ns, clothing IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE DESIGN, journalism students Clayton Westervelt, David Gaupp and Mike Merit hunt through magazines for photographs and copy. and hairstyles, religions, and homelife," said Jennifer Sherman '90, "After we finished, each group presented its information in front of the class. It made the presentation a lot easier knowing I had my classmates up there with me in case I forgot what I was saying." An added benefit to working in groups was that students learned how to cooperate with other people. "When we first started working in writing groups in journalism, my group argued all of the time," said John McCoy '89, "but after a while we learned to be more accepting of other people's ideas. I was used to doing things my own way, but I found out I had to make compromises like everybody else." Though group work was beneficial to students, it sometimes had drawbacks, es pe cially wh e n workloads wer e n't shared evenly. " In physics labs we have one person in charge, one recording, and one helping out," said Lisa Menuey '88. " Sometimes one pe rson e nds up doing all the work, but all three get the same grade. I don't think it's fair." Although group work could have its drawbacks, stude nts found it enjoyable, le ss stressful, and more be ne fi c ial than working alo ne.

Tammy Rae '90 '' etrified Speeches, solos, and lci.bs cause in-class jitters, silent suffering S ome students had all the symptoms: dialated blood vessels, perspiration, loss of eye contact, and occasional queasiness. It wasn't a contagious disease or a simple case of influenza; they suffered from the side effects of uneasiness in the classroom. Several classes were a source of pins and needles. The most common "fatal" assignments were speeches, lab experiments, solo musical performances, a turn at the wheel, and oral translation. For the 308 students enrolled in foreign language classes, oral translation was the major source of stress. "I could feel the sweat begin to run down my back and my palms get clammy," said Kelly Halsted '88. "My mind raced as I looked at the exercises. I was lost. Who remembers ve rb tenses on a Monday morning? "I tried to duck behind the person in front of me, but that seemed to give Mrs. Bowman a hint that I wasn't ready to translate . I was so ne rvous I didn't know what I was thinking or saying." Like translations, speeches caused trauma for more students as oral communication entered its second year as a required course for all sophomores. " I had to give an impromptu speech," said Candice Reynolds '90. I drew blowdrye rs, of all topi cs. When I was up in "OH MY GOD, I SHOULD HAVE STUDIED MORE!" David Porter thinks as he looks at a final in World History. Porter had studied for two hours, and received a "D". front of everyone, my mind we nt blank and I didn't know what to say. My five minute impromptu was more like five seconds." Getting up in front of a group brought butterflies to musicians as well. "I hate it whe n I have to do a trumpet solo," said Matt Moline '88, "because I'm up there alone, and if I make a mistake, I feel like every ear in the place hears my mistake." Unlike music, science was required, and although most students could escape doing solos, labs were part of the curriculum for everyone. For many, the complexity and preciseness of labs made them dreaded assignments. " I don't like to do physics labs," said Jim Mathisse n '89, "because the directions seem to be easy the day before the experiment, but if you make a slight error, the whole experiment can be wasted. Once I used one rubber band on a lab cart instead of two, and I had to redo the e ntire data table. A few found settling in behind the driver's seat for the first time a nerveracking experience. "My grade is really bad in driver's e d," said Tammy Rae '90. "I was super nervous the first time I had to drive because I was afraid I was going to get in an accident. The hardest thing for me to do is to stay on the road." Most cases of in-class jitters weren't serious, and in the lo ng run, most students learned to cope with their anxietie s. '' When it came to formulas 1 I visualized the geometric shape as the mother and the formula as the baby. Teresa Spencer '90. '' ind helps learners memorize everything from trig functions to vocabulary C ah, Soh, Toa, Cah, Soh, Toa. No, these weren't the chants of an Indian rain dance; they were junior Jason Bowman's inventive way of memorizing the trig functions of cosine, sine, and tangent. "Cah meant cosine was the adjecent side of a triangle divided by the hypotenuse, soh meant sine was the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse, and toa meant the tangent was the opposite side divided by the adjacent," said Bowman. "If I hadn't thought of that method, I would have flunked trig." Since most students dreaded memorizing, they and their teachers searched constantly for ways to make memorization less boring and more effective. In English instructor Mike Tripp's honors class, for example, students played a version of Trivial Pursuit in which they used the regular game board but categories based on units they were studying. "Trivial Pursuit was a great way to help us memorize authors, terms, and poetry forms," said Darren DeRoos '89. "During the entire game, other teams were trying to distract you from the answers, and you wanted to get the question right, so you sat there and really thought of the answer." French instructor L'louise Bowman took a game to the blackboard and made it scary. In Dunce of the Day, a row of students raced to write down the word which Bowman said. The fastest down and then another student stood up until everyone in the class had stood at the board. The last student left at the board was crowned Dunce of the Day. "Going up to the board to play Dunce of the Day helped _me memorize my French words," said Adrian Hoag '89. "I didn't want to be Dunce so I looked over my words until I memorized them." In a random poll of 30 students, more than half said math formulas were the most difficult memory assignment, so some frustrated students created their own memory games outside class. "When it came to formulas, I visualized the geometric shape as the mother and the formulas as the baby," said Teresa Spencer '90. "This helped, for whenever I saw the figure, I saw it holding its baby, which was the formula." One student ever tried inflicting pain on herself to make her memory work. "I was close to failing keyboarding because I was always looking at the keys," said Pam Traylor '91 . "So I had someone loosely blindfold me. Then every time I hit a wrong key, they would tie the blindfold even tighter. I eventually memorized the keys and my grade came up." Because memories sometimes suffered gaps, students and teachers searched for more effective ways to memorize the hundreds of facts, formulas, and words that had to be mastered.

'' I took media because I hope to become a broadcast journalist and it would be good training. Dale Messerly 'BB '' ti has students leaving books behind for valuable hands-on learning '' S itting in class, you never realize that you've learned something," said Dan Woicke '88. "Ned Greer and I went to our grade school to do a chemical reaction experiment for AP chemistry with the sixth grade class. "I wasn't sure we knew what we were doing, but we set up the equipment, explained the lab, and everything worked out great. That's when I found out how much Mrs. Fink taught us." Like Woicke, many students enjoyed hands-on learning experiences, surprising themselves by how much they knew, and realizing the tangible benefits of their studies. Some students realized immediate practical uses. "In Commercial Art, Mr. Holmes told us to do art for a book called Writing by Iowa Students," said JaNean Mattes '88. "To shade my pictures, I used a method called stippling, which is shading with dots. Then I used it in my business, The Artworks. I make signs for businesses and used stippling on the ad I did for Best Western's Valentine's Day Special. II Although not all students could put their practical knowledge to use immediately, most knew their hands-on experiences would be beneficial in the job marke t someday. "I took media because I hope to become a broadcast journalist, and I thought it wou ld be good training," said Da le Messe rly '88. "Dir e cting the March edition of the AL Insider was probably the most important project I did. I had to concentrate on all camera angles possible to get the best shot." Even those who were unsure of their future careers realized their hands-on classes cou.ld be helpful in any job. "Each time I had to do a new isometric drawing in drafting, I found other ways to be creative while following directions," said Fred Welsh '90. "I'm not positive about what I want to do for a living, but I know creativity and listening to orders is important in every career." A new class, Principles of Technology, which didn't have all the necessary lab equipment, prepared students for life's unpredictable moments. According to instructor Gene Jeppesen, the course was geared toward juniors and seniors interested in vocational-technical careers. "We get a solid background in the theory behind why something works. We set up labs dealing with fluid, mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems," said Kevin Wright '88. "Because it's a new class and all the equipment didn't arrive, we always have to improvise, borrowing batteries and things from other classes or just substituting one thing for another.

'' I always tell one of my teachers he looks nice even though his colors don't coordinate. Ericka Wellman '91 '' will get you everywhere when you ' re an expert brownnoser I t is despised by some but useful to others. It comes in the form of flirts, favors, and friendliness. It's prey are the gullible and naive. It is defined as kissing the hinder parts of the person from whom advancement is sought. In simpler form, it is brownnosing - and some students were experts at its technique. Of 65 students polled, 24 said they brownnosed to get good grades. "When I took geometry, I always talked to my teacher about his grandchildren or anything else that came up," said Christie Poe '88. "I ended up getting an A in there although I definitely should have gotten a C or D." Others used brownnosing to gain special favors. "In study hall, I talk to my teacher mostly about how rowdy everybody else is, but I talk to him about other t hings, too," said Jennie Brus '90. "He likes me because I am so nice to him. I get to move around and talk to people much longer than he allows anyone else." Technique was important to students who wanted to get something for nothing. Like Poe and Brus, most said appearing to be interested during lectures and conversations worked best, but others sa id flattery worked well too. "I always te ll o ne of my teachers he looks nice even though his colors don't coordi nate ," sa id Ericka Wellman '91. "I do it only because I'm not doing well in his class." But some students accused of brownnosing said they were not trying to manipulate their victims. "When I'm nice to teachers and talk with them, I'm nothing thinking of the advantages," said Cory Ranslem '88. "I talk to them because it's easy to carry on an intelligent discussion with most of them. Besides, I'm usually considerate to my teachers. It's just the way I am." Robb Traylor '89, had homework in mind when he talked to his teacher. "I always talk to Mrs. Bowman about our trip to France," he said. "I'm not brownnosing at all. I am just trying to • get her off the track so we don't have enough time in the period to do everything she had planned." Students who brownnosed often thought they were fooling their teachers, but teachers were smarter than most students thought. "I realize it when a student brownnoses me," said home economics instructor Nancy Tangeman. "I think it is funny, so I play along with them. Anyway, I grade on percentages, not how : nice someone is to me." Although a majority of the students brownnosed, some still preferred to earn their keep. "I earn what I get," said Tom Clark '88. "I don't need any of that phony bmwnnosing to get me more than I deserve in my classes." CLEANING UP AFTER HOURS.

"They're a group of real winners, maybe not in the record book, but in their hearts. They've never given up!" It might have surprised some fans when Emsick referred to the 2-7 team as winners, but players new he meant what he said. "We all worked hard practicing, lifting weights, and concentrating on game plans to make a name for AL," said Dan Johannes '88. "We wanted Omaha teams to respect us instead of laughing and thinking it would be an easy game 'cause we're just AL." After getting humiliated by Bellevue West at Homecoming, the Lynx earned the respect they had been striving for when they played Bryan two weeks later. A field goal late in the fourth quarter of the game lifted the Lynx to a 13-10 upset of the Bears, who had beaten Bellevue West earlier in the season. But players felt respect had to start within the squad.

Even when the team was plagued by mental mistakes, the positive attitude kept the team together. "I jumped off-sides in each of the first two games," said Jerry Cundiff '88. "It was stupid because I heard the quarterback call out the snap count, but I spaced it off, watching the offense set up. Figuring out who to block, I got nervous and jumped. "But even when things like that happened, there was never any negative talk. We tried to forget the mistake and reassure each other that we'd gain back the yards." Because the Lynx had only seven players over 200 pounds and eight over six feet, mental toughness was even more important than it was for most teams. At 5'9", and 138 pounds, White was the second smallest player. "Sure I'd get scared, but Emsick taught us how to hit in the legs, and that makes everyone fall, said White.

"I knew the boys would run close together, but I wasn't sure what kind of quality they would have," said Coach Mick Freeman. "That meet gave us the answer and got everyone excited." That excitement built as the team finished first in southwest Iowa , won seven invitational crowns, and placed three runners in the top ten in southwest Iowa. "We committed to making this one of the best teams AL ever had," said Jim Campbell '88. "We attended camp, ran streets longer, and practiced on our own."

"But with Mark (Wittland '88) battling bronchitis and the cold and rainy weather, we did well. The JV boys also had a recordsmashing year. They won the JV Metro and achieved a perfect score of 10 in four of 10 meets. Although the girls didn't match the boys' success, they improved from me e t to meet. The g irls scored 116 points in their first invitational but improved their score at the next two meets to 99 and 78. "Coach Freeman made us run more hills than streets," said Toni Mcintosh '88. "We also all wanted to work our hardest." Freeman said the girls' willingness to run, even though they weren't in the limelight, helped.

"After we lost the first game 10-15, we got fired up and rallied to take the next two games 15-12, 15-9 to win the championship." One reason for success was the individual skill of the players.

In addition, the JV finished with an 18-1-1 record and won its own invitational. "We weren't sure how good we'd be until we easily won our first two matches," said Lori French '90.

But to the boys' varsity basketball team, it wasn't magical or miraculous. It was a hard earned trip to State, a first in 25 years. Like Cinderella, the players worked their fingers to the bone. They practiced during vacations and weekends, after school, and sometimes twice a day. At each practice, they conditioned, shot at stations, jumped heavy rope for 5 to 10 minutes, and scrimmaged. "Coach Koch didn't want us to run out of steam before any other team did, so he had us run, shuffle, jump rope, run, shuffle, and run some more," said Chuck Milner '88. "He had a trash can in the gym so we could puke in it if we needed to. No one ever did, but we sure felt like it at times."

"Instead of working with us on plays, the coach worked with us on our fundamentals," said Eric Hubbert '88. "We found out we really lacked some of the basics and needed the practice. It was aggravating at times, but the coach kept tell ing us if we had the basics, we would get the plays." But even with a fresh approach and tough practices, the team seldom went home victorious. In the tough Metro Conference, the · Lyn x finished their season with only five wins to celebrate. "It was hard to go to practice on Monday after we had lost on the weekend," said Jeff Hayes '89.

And when they threw frozen fish and goldfish on the floor after third quarter, the team had to spend its time out cleaning up. Officials called a technical, and St. Albert took control. The Lynx never had a chance against the "fish power." "Its one of my most unpleasant memories," said Coach Dan Koch. "It was the only time I ever wondered if I'd made a mistake coming to AL." Yet out of the team's humiliation, came one benefit. The players gained a special unity. "It brought the team together," said Ned Greer '88. "Everyone was crying and hugging ead1 other. We knew we should have won. As we helped each other through the pain, we became a team, not just individuals." Finally, the regular season ended, and the team started fresh going into Districts.

"It took me a while to realize we were going to State," said Milner. "It wasn't until on the way home from Ames when Kevin and I were talking that it sank in." With the worst record in the state tournament, fans worried that they would be embarrassed by the team's performance against first seeded Cedar Rapids Kennedy. The team did better than expected, though, taking the lead several times, and trailing by just two at the buzzer.

In the Metro Holiday Tournament, for example, the Lynx knocked off top-ranked Burke 35- 32 and top-seeded Benson 55-50, even though the team's ace-inthe-hole, 6'3" Kristi Anderson '88, fouled out in the final minutes of both games. "When Kristi fouled out, I thought, 'Oh, no!'" said Toni Mcintosh '88. "But we were able to come together as a team and show everyone in the Metro we have the ability to win." Balanced scoring was again the key in a 49-42 upset over Gross. Beth Tangeman '89, scored a career high 14 points, and Marsha Hoffman '88, and Anderson both added 13. "We played bad in the first half," said Lori French '90. "But in the second we played great. It seemed like we played out of our minds, we made so few mistakes." While the first three upsets were pleasant surprises, the Lynx set a pre-season goal to upset Marian, and, for the first time, they defeated the Crusaders 55-52. "I was so nervous toward the end of the game, I was shaking," said Nunez. "Kristi even offered to buy me a hot fudge sundae if I made my free throws." Even though this 15-9 team fell short against some opponents, all nine of the Lynx losses came against teams ranked at one point in the top 10 in Iowa or Nebraska. "It feels good that we were so successful, especially since we had to play against such tough competition," said Mel ntosh. "The best part was winning a school record eight games in a row." Anderson, a big key to the team's success, made accomplishments that included scoring 1000 points, getting selected First Team All-State and Metro, and signing with the University of Nebraska. The 13-4 JV and 7-10 freshman squads also posted upsets. The JV defeated Sioux City East for the first time, and the freshmen upset top-seeded Millard North to advance to the finals of the freshman tournament. Altogether, the Lady Lynx basketball teams earned a reputation as giant killers. "THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY!" Marsha Hoffman and Rachel Stageman agree.

Hard work paid off as wrestlers collected first places at Sioux City East, Council Bluffs, Metro, and Distric:::t Tournaments and placed sixth at Urbandale. "We knew Urbandale was as hard as State," said Hiffernan, "so we were pleased with sixth." Along with hard work, the Lynx credited their wins to fan support, especially in close matches. At Lewis Central, students filled stands to see the Lynx avenge last year's heart-breaking loss. "The crowds always got excited, said Tim Knauss '88, "and having a lot of fans gets you pumped to win the big matches." The wrestlers weren't the only ones who worked hard and reaped rewards.

"The results had me seeded first in the 100-free," said Hughes. "But I never thought I would get first. When I got out of the pool and looked at the clock, I couldn't believe it. All I did was tell myself I would do the best I could and I certainly did my best!" Hughes wasn't alone in her success. The boys' and girls' swim teams together broke 21 school records, arid 11 individuals cut 5 to 10 seconds off their times as boys finished 7-3 and girls 6-3. Along with Hughes, Susan Schumacher '88, broke four records and qualified for State.

Thatcher was the team's top competitor, qualifying for State and setting seven school records.

Young talent keeps Lynx golfers ... rl\ ne part experience, one part ~ inexperience, and a dash of misfortune made up the recipe for the boys' and girls' seasons. Despite encouraging victories early in the season, the girls' team finished with a 5-4-1 record while the l;>oys' record was 5-3. "We played some good matches early in the year and improved all season," said Mike Housley '89. "We had a lot of talent, but when it came to important duals and tournaments, we choked under the pressure that a more experienced team could have handled." Nate Jungman '90, was one golfer who didn't let inexperience or pressure stand in his way as he won medals in four of seven tournaments. "Nate was my number one golfer which is excellent as a sophomore," said Coach Phil Nielsen. Though the girls' team had more varsity experience than the boys, they struggled against misfortune. Sarah Chambers '91, provided the team's young talent. Although PERFECT PUTTER Nate Jungman aims for the hole during the CB Invitational. Jungman took sixth, the Lynx finished fourth. she was only a freshman, golf was a tradition in her family, and all her hours on the course showed when she shot a 103, placing seventh in the city tournament. Experience came from seniors Kelly McKeown, who shot a 95 and took second at City, and Ronnie Martin, who shot 97 to place third. "Our scores were almost always within two strokes of each others," said Martin. "I feel lucky to have been able to play with Kelly because it was great competition and helped keep scores low." But McKeown remembered sectional play-offs, when neither Martin nor the team was lucky. Chambers had to quit play when she fractured her wrist on a mishit, and McKeown said she shot ten strokes over her average due to back pain. "But the worst part was when Ronnie tied for second place and lost her chance for Regionals in a three hole sudden death shoot out." McKeown said, "It was a rotten way to end the season."

"I was mentally down, thinking, 'There's no way you can pull this off,"' said Sanders. " But I knew I had to concentrate and stop thinking about being behind so much. I ended up losing, but not before I gave him a good run." Like Sanders, many tennis players discovered that despite the emotional stress tennis sometimes inflicted on them, they could win. "I was behind 0-5 to a girl from Carroll -Kuemp e r," said Lori French '90. "She psyched me out, and I didn't know why I was playing so badly. But I kept saying to myself, 'You can do this.' "Then I started making my net shots and first serves. She started making the mistakes and got mad at herself. That's how I ended up winning." Another part of the mental game was learning to ignore distractions like the weather, noisy spectators, and barking dogs. NICE SHOT!

Partners Christie Poe, slicing a shot, and Brenda Castillo warm up at Central. "At the city tournament, a dog barked all day long," said Dawn White '88. "Even though all the players wanted to beat it with their racquets, I just ignored it." 11 At Districts, in Atlantic, we were trying to warm up when about 200 elementary students ran onto the court for 10 minutes of recess. That was after we had to sit out a two-hour rain delay on the morning of our graduation." Both teams overcame such distractions to post tournament victories and winning records. "We really improved this year, and at one point, our record was 6-0," said Sanders. "We took City even though our line-up was composed mostly of juniors opposing more experienced players." The girls improved last year's third place Atlantic finish to second and went from sixth to third in the tough metro tournament. "Even though we were disappointed to finish second in City, we were really excited to place third in Metro," said Christie Poe '88. "If my doubles partne r, Brenda Castillo ('88), hadn't accidentally been injured, the team might have placed second." Despite distractions at every turn, Lynx tennis teams learned to play mentally tough. ' TENNIS. FRONT ROW: Julie Armstrong, Shawn Brooks, Brenda Castillo, Traci Weaver, Christie Poe, Pat Halstead.

Promising underclassmen keep Lynx r:\ !though the sun shone and l..iJ the temp reached a balmy 72, the day looked dismal for the Lady Lynx. With seven events left, they trailed Denison by 13.5 points in a meet they thought they could win. But the Lynx pulled everything they had together and captured first place in five of the last events. Two of those victories came from girls who had never before run the race they won - Becky Ratashak '90, in the 1500-meter and Jani Bintz '89, in the 200-meter dash. With their help, the Lynx went on to win the Harold Johnson Relays with 121 points, edging Denison. "That meet showed what an outstanding track team the girls were," said Coach Mike Batten. "I was proud of them." Like the relays, the season was successful due largely to the talent of inexperienced runners. Although the girls won only one invite, the 4x8 relay team, which consisted of two freshmen and two sophomores, qualified for State along with Barb Roth '90 in the high jump. "Coach Batten saw that there was potential in the underclassmen and he tried to pinpoint each girl's strong point," said Teena Schultz '91. "In the 4x800 relay, Batten saw that the girls who ran in it were good, so he focused on helping them improve." Unlike the girls, the boys lacked underclassmen. "When we first started out, we had more than 50 kids total; then they all just started dropping out," said Coach Joe Hauser. "Of those underclassmen who cut, we were left with just five freshman and five sophomores. And for some reason, they just couldn't improve." Although the boys lacked underclassmen, the Lynx had one talented sophomore, Chris Sorensen. In the 100-yard dash, he captured third place or better five times in addition to finishing sixteenth at Drake and seventh at State. The season's biggest disappointment came when the 4x800 relay, which had captured first place at seven meets and cut 11 seconds from its time, failed to qualify for State by only five-tenths of a second. "It was a blow to the team when we found out that we barely missed qualifying for State,"said Paul Grafelman '89. "We worked hard all season to make it there." "I KNOW I CAN."

"One Monday I woke up late because I had to work almost all night Sunday. Then my mom and I got into an argument, and while I was at school, I couldn't concentrate on anything because I was so exhausted," said Janelle Joyner '88. "To top it all off, I was sick, and I could hardly breathe. I never wanted a day to get over with so much in all my life! Mondays are the worst!" While Mondays meant oversleeping for some, they meant late nights for choir members and yearbook staffers. "Even though swing choir is a lot of fun, sometimes it's hard to stay awake until 10 or 10:30," said Tim Anderson '88. "Usually I'm so tired from staying up late to do homework on Sunday night that all I can think about is going home and crawling straight into bed." Some students had to use their Mondays to catch up on homework left over from the weekend. "Even though I always plan to get a lot of homework done over the weekend, I'm just too lazy to get it all done," said Christie Poe '88. "So I usually end up finishing it during my classes."

But some Tuesdays were unforgettable. "I'll never forget Switch Day because it was such a great way to show spirit," said Bobby Drummond '88. "The day before, some friends and I went through my mom's old clothes and found our outfits. I wore a white dress with eyelet, and I put balloons in it to make it look as if I had really big chest. "That morning, we all met at Kwik Shop so we wouldn't have to walk into school by ourselves. It was so hilario.us to see all the guys dressed up like girls. " But most times, students valued Tuesday as a day just to relax and catch up on assignments. "Tuesdays are nice because it seems like every other day of the week, I have swing choir, church, or work," said Dawn Shipley '88. "Even though I'm usually still tired from the weekend, I can get all of my homework done on Tuesday nights plus I can go to sleep fairly early. I like them because they make me feel so organized since I can get so much done."

Hump day ... the beginning of the last part of the week ... But four times a year, this drag-on day became our favorite. In-service day gave a little relief to students throughout the year. "When I get up in the morning, it's a lot easier to get ready for school, just knowing it's an in-service day," said Toni Spoto '88. "I'm always wide awake and in a good mood. Those days go so fast!" Amazingly enough, such wide-eyed, energetic students hurried home for an afternoon nap right after the 11:35 bell rang. "By the middle of the week, I'm worn out," said Donna Sanders '88, "I'm thankful for the extra time; I usually can't wait to go home and sleep! I wish we had more in-service days!" Even though most students used their afternoon off as rest time, some preferred to use it as fun time. Popular activities were eating at Burger King, shopping at the mall, or getting together at friends' houses. "My friends and I like to go to one of our houses and make lunch and catch our soaps," said Nicole Brink '88. "Then, we usually go shopping." JUST BEING SILLY. At a yearbook Wednesday work night, Jennie Tanous, Annette Nielson, and Peggy Streepy take a break from their spreads and goof around in the hallway. "Sometimes it was hard for me to get stuff done at work nights because I got sidetracked so easily,'' said Nielson. WEDNESDAY NIGHT RITUALS.

"Where's the fire?" your witty father asks. "I'm missing my favorite show!" You exclaim as you reach for the knob on the television set. Come Thursday night, students often crowded around to watch favorites like Knott's Landing, LA Law, The Cosby Show, and Cheers. "Once in a while I get together with friends to watch T.V.," said Michelle McKern '88. " It's really nice to be able to sit back and relax with Cosby." Students often became so engrossed in shows that all thoughts of homework faded from their minds. "Last Thursday I had to st udy for this test on Friday, and I started watching Knott's Landing," said Shellie Ostdiek '88. " I completely spaced off the test and ended up getting a C, when I usually get an A or B. Watching the show wasn't really worth it, but if I could do it all over again, I'd still watch it." All in all, seniors agreed that Thursday night prime time was not to be missed. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE.

After a long week full of homework, tests, lectures, speeches, and practices, Friday was a lifesaver. As T.G.1.F. ran through the minds of everyone in the building, Friday seemed to be the quickest day of the week. "Fridays always go super fast for me," said Mike Grey '88. "I look forward to the m because I'm in a band and every Friday night until about 3 a.m., I work on this song I've been writing for three years." Although some students didn't go out on Friday nights, most chose to go to parties, movies, or games. " I always have a good time when I go to football and basketball games on Friday nights," said Michelle Hughes '88. "All my friends go, and we cheer until we're almost hoarse." After watching an exciting game filled with screaming, laughing, and cheering, stude nts found their appetites took over, so most went to Burger King to eat and socialize . "After basketball games, I take a shower and go to Burger King to talk to everyone about the game," said Chuck Milner '88. "It's really interesting to hear what the crowd thinks of a game."

Shoot it!", and he realized he had just dribbled away the team's chance for victory. "I misread the scoreboard, I thought the score was tied, so when I didn't see a good shot, I just dribbled around," said Goodman. "The whole game was really disappointing because we were leading and then everything seemed to go wrong. On top of it, we didn't get that last shot. I was shocked and then incredibly embarrassed." While most students' worst disappoi n tm en ts weren't as public as Goodman's, failing to achieve something they had worked hard for was a painful experience for everyone. "I was upset when I didn't make concert choir," said Heather Hough '89. "I put a lot of work into it, and it took me a while to get up enough nerve to go through tryouts again!" Election days were disheartening for some students. "It was upsetting when I didn't make student council," said Mike Cooper '89. "I had big crowd response after my speech, and some of the students told me that my name was on a lot of ballots, so I started feeling pretty confident.

She and he r friends had a ball until they heard sire ns. Eve ryone scattered, but whe n Kadere it tried to escape over a brick ledge by the school, she slipped. As she struggled to get up, she looked down to find blood everywhere and her knee cap hanging from he r knee. Kadereit's injury brought he r in140 Juniors Gillenwater-McCoy stant fame, but the healing process she suffered was by no means instantaneous. "When I hurt my knee, it was a big pain! I had to have knee surgery, which left me with 30 stitches," she said. For many, injuries put restrictions on what they normally did. "I couldn't do anything when I cracked a joint in my wrist playing basketball," said Lisa Koenig '89. "It drove me nuts! I couldn't write, put on my clothes, or even wash my hair by myself." Besides being a hassle and causing pain, injuries took a lot of time and effort. "I had to put ice on my leg twice a day, exercise, and miss school for the rapy three times a week," said Randy McGlade '89, who tore cartilage in his knees. Broken bodies proved to be even more of a pain than most realized.

Struggling to finish his Latin assignment, Mike Boyle figures out his last questions during lunch in the cafeteria. Five minutes between classes makes personal time precious T o Kathy Ratashak '89, the minute hand seemed to creep around the clock at the front of the room. Anxiously, she jiggled her legs up and down, waiting for the seconds to count down so she could dash out the door. "My boyfriend and I always mee t after certain periods," said Ratashak . "We can't meet each other after every hour, so when we can, we have to make the most of it. " Others had no time fo r boyfri e nds. Instead they spent their breaks searching for homework. "Sometimes I'm frantically looking for my homework that I loaned out for later in the day, and at the same time, trying to find someone to loan me theirs for the next hour," said one junior girl. "Sometimes I think it would be easier just to do the homework myself." Some students found the five minutes weren't enough, and ended up having to sprint to class to be on time. "I never seem to have enough time between classes," said Julie Mankin '89. "I have to go my locker, and sometimes I get something to eat. By the time I'm done with all of that, I can barely make it to class before the bell rings." Five minutes of freedom for every hour of confinement gave us a total of 30 precious minutes of personal and social time each day, and almost all of us made the most of it.

Though their hearts weren't bleeding, the pain was still real. For the lovesick, first break-ups caused deep emotional agony. "I was really depressed when my boyfriend and I broke up," said Jean Gibson '89. "I wanted to call him, but DEAR(?) DWIGHT. During study hall, Sarah Wohlt writes a note to boyfriend, Dwight Rogers, whom she dated on and off for two years. I didn't want to crawl back to him." But for some students, breaking up was a relief. "I was upset when I broke up with my girlfriend," said Todd Thies '89, "but I felt too pressured by the relationship. She always had to know everything I was doing, and I just got sick of it." Even though there wasn't always a cure for the "break-up blues," students found ways to ease the pain. "I talked to my friends on the phone after I broke up with my boyfriend," said Lisa Gray '89. "I tried to keep busy with my activities to get my mind off him so I wouldn't be depressed." Instead of trying to forget the break-up, other students deliberately thought through their pain and came to accept it. "I thought about why we broke up a lot," said Julie Mack '89, "and I realized it was for the better, and I had to go on with my life."

Mr. Stull yelled, "Don't hit the brakes!" right before I crashed, but it was too late. Mr. Stull drove us out of the ditch and back to school because there was a hole in the gas tank." - James Whittmore "I was driving around trying to find a parking space because for my first time, I was being tested on parallel parking. I was nervous because I'm always doing dumb things like trying to drive while the car is in park. There was a long line of cars behind me, and it took me 5 minutes to pull in and out of the space. All the cars had to wait and I was scared of messing up and hitting something, but luckily I made it. I couldn't believe that I actually did okay." - Matt Harris " I was driving by the Christian Home, and there were two streets with a "DO NOT ENTER" sign in the middle of them.

On an average trip to Iowa City, we usually stop four or five times so that people can stock up on junk food. At the end of a trip, there is a huge pile of pop cans, peanut butter cup wrappers, potato chip bags, old pieces of string cheese, and apple cores." - Chris Brewer "My worst experience actually involved the pursuit of the van. I was at the Millard North tournament, and I thought that I had missed the van. As I was calling my parents, I saw it far off at a stop sign, and I recognized it as one of ours. The next thing that came to my mind was, "Chase it!" I grabbed my tie, searched for my inne r strength, and ran for it. I eventually did catch it." - Dave Snyder "For District speech contests I did a speech on skiing, and so I had to take my skis to the tournament. Fitting them into the van was hard e nough, but then the e ntire way to Shenandoah people had to be really careful not to hit the m or fall asleep on them - it was awful!" - Jon Hensley Barb Roth Kim Sanders Heidi Sandy Barb Sanford Keleigh .Scherzinger Terri Schiller Amy Schrier Mike Schroeder Brian Schulenberg Shawn Schultz Tami Schultz Clay Seaman Jennifer Sherman Kim Ship ley J.J.

Valerie Kelso '' I I I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my_ community, my country, and my world." Several freshmen repeated that oath every month during 4-H meetings. Whether making cookies, welding iron, riding horses, or collecting bugs, 4-H'ers learned through experience. "I rode my horse, but I learned more by caring for him," said Valerie Kelso '91. "You appreciate horses when it's 20 below and you have to carry water up an icy hill for them to drink." Besides responsibility, self-improvement was stressed at 4-H. "I thought it was neat when a Mary Kay lady came to a meeting and gave us makeovers and lessons on skin care," said Kim Fender '91. Freshman 4-H'ers agreed county fair was the best time of year. As competition for purple ribbons began, hours spent on projects paid off. "Fair is the best part of summer," said Fender, "because I'm involved instead of an onlooker. My goal was a purple, but I was happy with a blue." Ribbons were important, but most agreed 4-H made them better people. "Most people think you're too old or a country loser," said Kelso, "but all you have to do is get involved in 4-H and see how much you learn, and then say, 'Who cares what people think? They are the ones who are missing out'."

During first hour band, Brent Bengston plays the drums for "Wipe-Out." Bengston played the drums for five years. LIKE FATHER LIKE DAUGHTER. Rehearsing for All-State contest, Molly Spann and choir director Lee Spann go over warm-up scales together. 15 6 Freshmen T o most, music was what woke them up in the morning and put them to sleep at night. It was what they danced to at dances and sang to in their cars. But for some, music was the basis of the future. "I basically play four instruments," said Jason Burkum '91. "I practice about three to four hours every night. Someday I hope I can get a band together because I think it would make people respect my music a lot more." When students had goals like Burkum's, dedication and practicing many long hours made it possible to accomplish them. "I have been playing the French horn in the Omaha Philharmonic this year," said Molly Spann '91 . "It is kind of hard to go back and forth to Omaha every ' . . .... ,... ,, j> Tuesday for only two hours, but I really think it's all worth it because I'm hoping that someday all my practice will pay off and maybe I can get a scholarship. Since I enjoy music so much, it doesn't really seem like much work to me." To some, music was purely recreational, and it didn't require as much time and dedication. "Even though I play in the band at school and I enjoy music a lot, I really don't think I take it as seriously as some people do," said Chris Andersen '90, "and I definitely don't spend as much time practicing it." Whether one took it seriously enough to consider it as a future career possibility, or if one just considered it a hobby, it was always a big part of our lives. . . . . . . . . ... . . . . . 9· . . .

Price practiced his aim for his weekend trips during the month-and-a-half bow and arrow season. I t was 4:45 p.m. Dick Price '91, had waited, scrunched on his knees, quiet as could be, for more than two hours. Suddenly, he heard the rustle of leaves as 12 doe and an 11 point buck came through the woods. Without removing his eyes from the buck, he cocked his gun and brought the butt to his shoulder. His heart pounded and his hands trembled. But carefully, he took aim and fired . "I could hardly believe I shot him. After waiting all season, getting a deer made me feel really cool," said Price. Like Price, many hunters had to exercise patience before they were rewarded with a thrill. For James Olmstead '91, waiting came in comfort. He and his father built a blind underground where ducks couldn't see them. They furnished it with cots, card tables, and a heater. "Next year we are planning to add e lectricity so we can watch Nebraska beat Oklahoma," said Olmstead. Another thrill for young hunters was that of getting a new gun. "When I got my 12-gauge Remington shotgun for Christmas, I was really excited to try it out and when I did, I shot four rabbits," said Bob Gale '91. Most hunters enjoyed the challenges of their sport. "Last year I shot a 30-pound raccoon, which made me feel that I had really accomplished something by outsmarting such a smart animal," said Troy Gibler '91. Sometimes, a bit of good luck, more than skill, made for success. "Last year, my brother, my dad, and I were waiting in our duck blind, and a duck flew up and landed right in front of us," said Olmstead. "I shot at it, but all I did was cripple it, so we all shot at it. After we finally thought we killed it, it got up, walked a couple of steps, and fell over dead." Whether for the challenge, play of luck, or adventure, hunters loved their sport. Hunting 159 _____ __.....088Y HORS€">-------------. Tapping and tumbling too '' ~ love danc1 n g and performing. It has really helped me with my coordination for cheerleading, and it also helps keep me in better shape. - Deborah Hogan'' WITH PERFECT FORM, Todd Eyberg practices his parallel bar rQutine at the Council Bluffs Gymnastics Club. ON THEIR TIPPY TOES, Deborah Hogan and Agnes Kavanaugh go over steps for their next recital at Donna Wood Dance Studio. 160 Freshman Riggs-Zupfer T ippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippitytap, tippity, tippity, tippity-tap. The dancer's shoes seemed to sing along with the music as they tapped against the floor. The audience was hushed as members entered a trance-like state, captured by her movements. After 12 years of such dance recitals, Deborah Hogan '91, was still excited to perform in front of an audience. " I love dancing and performing," said Hogan. "It has really helped me with coordination for cheerleading, and it helps keep me in better shape." Like most dancers, Hogan hoped to perform with a dance company at least as an amateur, if not more, and perhaps someday teach lessons in a studio to girls who share her same dream. Although Todd Eyberg '91, hadn't spent as much time practicing as Hogan, he too spent a lot of his spare time improving for his many performances. The young gymnast started the basic program at the Council Bluffs Gymnastics Club in 1987 after televised competition sparked his interest. After his first year, Eyberg had conquered the hand springs and hoped to conquer greater goals. "I have a great feeling for competition," said Eyberg. "Someday I'd really like to share that feeling with a team." "STRETCHING IS one of the most important things to do before dancing since it's so strenuous," said Shawna Benson, who prepares for ballet class with Amy Smith at Donna Wood Dance Studio.

The problem has been that young teachers who just get out of college want to go to other states where they will make more money. Bob Petvitier, MATH I I I think the pay raise is a morale booster to teachers because it's the first time we have received any acknowledgement from the state government." Robe rt Robuck, Band I I I think it will be great because teachers need to be paid on a higher pay scale to meet the salary of other professional people. Because of the allotment program, maybe we can attract better teachers." - Donald Whyte, English I IT he governor's pay raise is fantastic. Teachers work so hard, and it's so disheartening when no one seems to appreciate it. This is the first time during 20 years in the profession that I actually have felt good about my salary, and I'm really looking forward to the merit pay part of the plan." Linda Smoley, Journalism " THE PAY RAISE WAS NICE, but the camaraderie that I had with some of the senior guys really gives me something to sing abo ut," said instructor Don Scheibeler. At prom, Scheibeler poses for a buddy picture with Steve Jensen, Dan Prichard, Ned Greer, Matt Johnson, John Hiffernan, and Scott Widtfeldt. SIM-PLE AS THAT. Dr. Fred Frick discusses his SIM (School Improvement Model) evaluation of instructor Mary Gepner. Under SIM, all teachers were observed at least four times and met with evaluators in at least six conferences before and after observations. One third of the staff was evaluated during the third year of SIM, a much more extensive evaluation than the old ones. Evaluations became more important because Phase Ill (Performance Pay) of the state pay raise for teachers was tied, in part, to the teacher's formal evaluation.

Whether we journeyed to rival fields for home games because of tornado damage to our field, or walked back halls to avoid crossing the refinished gym floor, we were on the go more than ever. Every Monday and Thursday we made the extra trip to homeroom. Between self-esteem exercises and career investigation, we used homeroom to build school spirit. "It took us 10 hours coming in before and after school to make our homeroom's Homecoming float," said Andrea Rocheleau '90. "I thought it was worth it because it got our homeroom excited about Homecoming. Homecoming week also found us traveling to the Mall of the Bluffs instead of sitting on the traditional cold, hard bleachers to watch coronation. At the mall, we enjoyed the added treat of the yearbook signing party, which had been moved from the traditional school cafe. ''The coronation was better at the mall because we could see the contestants better," said Kevin Malick '89. "There was more room to move around to get books signed and more food to choose from." Students involved in extracurricular activities also found themselves on the go more than ever. During first semester, 12 cross country runners traveled to Ames for the state meet, the Porn Pon squad competed at Nationals in Dallas, student council attended a leadership conference in Des Moines, and DECA traveled to Indianapolis for Regionals. ''Between the seminars we had a chance to go to either the lndy-500 or the new Indianapolis zoo, but some of us chose to go shopping," said DECA member, (continued page 4) Opening ~ , 4 3 II Dressed Vp ... and Places to go Jody Anderson '89. "There was a studio in the mall where you could make music videos. We made one to 'Devil Inside' and 'Wild, Wild West.''' Wherever life took us, we were dressed for the occasion. Varsity football and volleyball- teams sported new home jerseys; the pep club cheered in their new red and blue '' AL Just Rules" T-shirts; and another spirited group called The Mob dressed in crazy outfits to dance around the gym rooting for the girls' volleyball team. During Homecoming week, students and ·teachers alike dressed in everything from safari clothes on Jungle Day to baby clothes on Lollipop Day. On regular school days, most of us dressed for comfort above all. Faded blue jeans and oversized sweatshirts were our favorites, but when we felt like dressing up, we pulled soft fuzzy sweaters over our heads and teamed them up with baggy slacks. Many of us changed several times a day, throwing each outfit into a pile of uniforms, sweats, and jeans. Whether we wore tuxes or sweats, school clothes or uniforms, we were always on the move. - Heidi Neighbors & Terri Smock " AND DID YOU HEAR ABOUT ••• ?"

Dressed as diapered babies, masked outlaws and khakied Tarzans, we arrived in classes during Homecoming week to the laughter of classmates intrigued by our getups and hilarious antics. "On Switch Day, Jeff Theilen looked totally obnoxious as a woman with hairy legs," said Scott Walker '89. "He made us laugh and enjoy the day.'' We even dug through thrift store racks for a chance to dazzle with our duds. Wearing second hand costumes, characters like those from the Wizard of Oz surprised friends at the Halloween Dance. "Five of us dressed as characters in the Wizard of Oz," said Agnes Kavanaugh '89. "We dug through our closets and went to the Goodwill for our outfits. When we walked in, everyone commented on how cute we looked.'' When Dec. 17 arrived, girls donned sophisticated cocktail length dresses, guys put on dress slacks and new sweaters, and 450 of us danced our way through an enchanted evening at Christmas Dance. As first semester ended, we again got the chance to stun classmates with outlandish outfits and awesome acts at the Lynx-0-Rama Variety Show. "Clayton Westervelt's comedy act had everyone laughing hysterically!" said Adrian Lohman '92. "He was dressed as a Chinese war midget.

"When I took the towel off, I had orange hair. My friend said not to worry. The box said it would come out in six washes; the box lied." The desire tor beautiful hair was so important that many students took small risks tor the sake of glamour. Twenty-four out of 40 girls poll ed permed their hair, even though salon perms ranged from $20 to $70. "I perm my hair because if I don't, it's straighter than a fter looking over her 35 pairs of shoes, Joni Johnson '89, finally selected her $115 red suede slip-ons to perfectly complete her ensemble. "It's not that I'm extreme about buying shoes," said Johnson. "The reason behind my having so many pairs is coordination of my outfits." Like Johnson, 63 percent polled agreed that shoes were important to their wardrobe, but most weren't willing to sacrifice comfort for style. Sixty-seven percent of those polled said they wouldn 't wear uncomfortable shoes no matter how great they looked. "I don't like wearing uncomfortable shoes," said Kristina Kachulis '92, " because I can't think about anything but my feet." For comfort, students' tadoornail," said Vicki Am - brose '91. For some students, hair care meant resorting to some unusual treatments like shampooing with beer, eggs, milk, lemon oi l, and Vaseline. "I sometimes wash my hair with a mayonnaise and egg mixture," said Phillips. " It puts protein in my hair." On e fourth of th e girls polled colored their hair to add a special touch. "I color my hair to coordinate with the seasons," said Sara Richey '9 1. " I like it light in warm weather and dark in cold weather." Richey was one of many who believed their hair was their best fashion accesso8 Student Life Students put lots of 'sole' into coordinating their outfits vorites were tennis shoes and slip-ons, such as Zodiacs . Most students also wouldn't spend an arm and a leg for a pair of "perfect" shoes. Forty-seven percent polled would spend only $16 to $45 while only 17 percent would spend more than $70. "I can get shoes for $9 at Payless and they don't look it," said Angie Tilley '91. DECISIONS! DECISIONS!

"I try to coordinate my hair with my outfits," said Tricia Alba '92. "I wear it up with turtle necks and down when I wear low necks." Hair was important to guys as well. Of 30 guys polled, 26 said they spent between $5 and $15 each month on products such as gels, mousses, and sprays. When deciding hair length, stud&nts took current fashion trends into consideration. While almost every female wore her hair long in '88, guys' hair lengths varied.

She staggered over to the closet, thinking, "I haven't worn my taupe suede skirt lately." When she spotted the skirt, though, a horrible thought ran through her mind, "Oh no! I wore the white turtleneck that I wear with it yesterday!" Frantically she rummaged through her drawers, tossing clothes all over her room. Finally, deciding her green sweater looked good with her skirt, she glanced at the clock and realized she had spent an hour finding something to wear. Of 71 students polled, 40 said selecting and coordinating clothes was most important to them. "I think that clothes express someone's personality and mood," said Hough. "When I feel bummed out, I dress sloppy. If I'm in a good mood, I try to look nice so I spend a lot of time getting ready." Because clothes were so important, 55 out of 71 students said that shopping was an expensive, time consuming project. "NOW THIS IS STYLE, " Chad Redman says to Jennifer Zupher as they browse in the library. (Photo by Stacy Robicheau) "I'm literally a shopaholic," said Tami Schultz '90, "If I go shopping for just one thing, I end up buying several things. One time I went shopping for a pair of black pants. While I was looking for them, I found a really cute pair of plaid pants. By the time I left the store, I had bought the plaid pants, a green top, and a scarf. "I also put a watch and a leather jacket on layaway. I ended up spending over $500, and I never did get the black pants that day." Most students polled said hunting for accessories was a big part of looking good.

Yet, students seemed unconcerned. In fact, only 30 to 90 students polled said they had fears about their future salaries. "I'll get an education. I'm not worried. Where there's a will, there's a way, " said Brooke Ratley '89 , who hoped to enjoy a $120,000 combined income some day. More than a fourth of those polled said that personal happiness was more important than financial success. "Doing what you want is important," said Stephanie Knauss '92. "Sooner or later, money will run out, but happiness will last." Despite the "money does not matter" attitude of many ~ owa Western, Drake, Northwest Missouri. Names like these often went through the minds of juniors and seniors as the ritual of selecting a college approached. Getting into college was a time consuming process filled with worry and pressure. Many said they spent more than 1 O hours a month filling out applications and financial aid forms, writing essays, reading college brochures, and getting recommendations and transcripts . "Since the beginning of the year, I've spent almost 40 hours filling out forms, writing essays , and talking to college reps who call at 7 Scary salary outlook fails to frighten most students , the majority of those polled said they were going into high-paying fields such as computers, business management, and medicine because that is where their interests lay. "I want to be an architectural engineer. I know it's high-paying, but I'm going into it because I'm good at it," said Rachel Rhatigan '89.

"It will be so fulfilling to teach first graders to read and write." - Stephanie Foss Seniors pressured as college decision nears a.m. on a Saturday," said Michelle Timm '89. "Once I spent the afternoon writing essays and filling out forms ." Of 40 juniors and seniors polled, 11 worried about the location of their favorite college, and 15 about how they would pay for college . "I plan on attending Grace college for at least two years, which will cost about $6,000 a year, " said Lisa Lee '89. "I have to pay for most of it from my savings account and my 'job money' and I'm afraid this won't be enough." Another worry students had was their parents ' feelings. "I feel pressured about selecting a college," sa id Stephanie Foss '90. "My parents want me to go to an Iowa college for two years, but I want to go to the west coast. I want to please them, but I feel it's my choice." But for some students, the pressure of selecting any college was lessened by talking to college students. "When I talk to my friends who are already in college and they tell me about how they were pressured and worried, I feel a lot better," said Heidi Boone '89.

(Photo by Lisa Christensen) 12 Student Life Alcohol, peer pressure, and fears of pregnancy influence student decisions hether their decision was by choice or influenced by alcohol, 41 of 80 students polled said they were sexually active. Every male polled said his first sexual encounter was by choice, but only 11 of 44 girls surveyed said they had wanted to become sexually active. Five girls said they gave in to pressure, and 28 said they were under the influence of alcohol. "One night I was out drinking with my friends," said one junior girl. "We ran into the guy I was dating. Before I knew it, I ended up sleeping with him that night." Just five of 39 abstaining students said they felt unc omfort ab I e around their peers who were sexually active. "Even though my friends have sex with their boyo one yelling that the stereo is too loud, no one giving you a curfew, no one nagging about doing your homework . Seems ideal, right? If that scenario of life without parents sounds good to you, then you might be surprised to learn that students who tried it found life away from home to be a little tougher than they had imagined . "My mom suggested I move out because I was a·1- ways late for my curfew," said Angel Pazzi '89. " My mom is the coolest , and she's like my best friend , but we agreed the influence I was having on my sisters wouldn't be good. So after a friends, and I don't," said one sophomore girl, "they don't tease me about it." Although they didn't feel uncomfortable around their sexually active friends, some felt pressured to engage in sex simply because they were the only virgin among their friends. "I felt like I was missing out on something all my friends were a part of," said one · senior boy, "so I finally decided to have sex." Whatever their reason for becoming sexually active, 18 students said they regretted having sex due to fear of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. "It seems like there's always someone afraid they might be pregnant," said one senior girl. "For sexually active people, it's a fear that's always with them." - Ericka Wellman (Photo illustration by Jody Anderson) Life without a family harder than imagined lot of crying, I moved out." While Pazzi had a difficult time following rules, Jimmy Lee '89, said he moved out because he was tired of living with alcoholic parents . "I can do what I want, but there's the constant worry of where I'm going to eat and sleep, let alone keeping up with school work," said Lee, who traveled from one friend's home to another for shelter and dropped out of school in November. Pazzi dropped out of school in October, but said she never planned it that way. "I wanted it all," she said . " I wanted to go to AL, be an editor for the Echoes , live on my own, and work to support myself. But I got sick once school started and couldn't get medical help, so I missed 15 days the first month." Lee and Pazzi agreed that in many ways, living at home beat living on their own . "I couldn't wait to be on my own," said Pazzi, "but, if you can, live with your parents and have your bills paid . You don't know what you've got until it's gone." Lee agreed. " If you can , stick it out with your parents," he said . "There were so many things I took for granted - like money, food, clothes , and a warm bed ." - Molly Spann Going Out Into the World 13 scaping the hectic schedule she had been following for weeks, Heidi Workman '91 , took advantage of one Sunday afternoon by relaxing in bed with a remote control and 35 channels on her television. Like Workman, many students had to take time out occasionally to relieve the stress that could cause physical problems if left unchecked. " Between my job at Runza, my social life, and my homework, I really have no time to relax by myself," said Angie Harvey '90. " Sooner or later, those things catch up with me and I end up getting major stomach aches." The most common symptom of stress suffered by students was headaches, with onefourth of those polled saying they suffered them frequently. "When I have tons to do and not enough time to do it in, my head starts pounding, and it doesn't stop until I remember to pace myself," said Heather Haines '92. When students abandoned their routines to reduce stress, they attacked their problems with tears, food, and even exercise. "When we get into deadlines and I get really stressed out, I go home 14 ~ 4 Student Life and cry," said Becky Baumker '90, Echoes feature editor. "It seems like everyone's asking me to do something and not saying thank-you. At those times, it seems like my work is all for nothing." Angie Tilley '91, chose another alternative for dealing with emotional stress. " When I have a serious problem, like a fight with my parents or a good friend, I could gorge myself until I get huge, but it wouldn't help," said Tilley. "Talking about it with a dependable person helps me figure out how I can make the problem better." Half the students polled said that when pressures became so bad they couldn't see a way out, they had briefly considered suicide but soon realized it was no answer. "When worse came to worst, the thought of suicide temporarily crossed my mind," said Workman, "but then I thought that there were better TEARING UP.

Focusing on positive ways to deal with stress, students searched for techniques to alleviate tensions and the symptoms they produced. - Lori Paulsen crunched Taco Bell cups, Burger King sacks, and Whopper boxes lay strewn on the floors of back seats, providing evidence of quick meals on the run. Busy with sports, activities, jobs, and friends, more and more students turned to fast food for convenience, rarely eating a home-cooked meal with their families. "Whenever I'm late for something, I usually end up eating out because it's so much quicker," said Chris Wigington '89. " I save time going through drive-thrus." Out of 44 students polled, only seven sat down to a meal with their families five or more tim~s a week. "I hardly ever eat at home because I'm always so busy with my friends," said Nikki went. ide moochers and speed-demons were everywhere we In an effort to get somewhere in a hurry, eager looking students begged for rides and lead feet took to the roads in cars. Two thirds of the 40 students polled reported that they had to share a car. Half of those had to share with their parents . When it became difficult to talk parents out of the car, some students resorted to lying . " I really wanted to use the car one night," said Carol Daly '89. " So I lied and told my mom I was going out to Eating on the run is a necessity for busy teens Nagel '91 . "I usually eat pizza or hamburgers if I can find a quick ride somewhere." Surprisingly , most students said they didn't mind eating alone. "About two or three times a week I eat out alone," said Scott Wright '89. " Eating alone really doesn 't bother me because when I'm hungry and there's no one to talk to, I can get done faster." Life on the run also meant that half of the students polled skipped at least one meal a day, usually breakfast. "I can't ever eat breakfast because there is never time for it," said Tammy Erwin '90. "Besides, I don't like to cook and I'd rather spend the money on other things ." - Lori Paulsen eat at the Old Market, and instead I went to a party. Luckily, she never found out, so I didn't get into any trouble." Once in the car, students polled said they sped regularly. " I speed all the time and I know that I'm doing it," said David Gaupp '91. "I like to because I get to places so much faster and it's more fun and exciting having to always watch out for policemen ." Although only four students polled said they'd been caught speeding, those who were could hardly forget the experience.

With favorites like Prince, Def Leppard, and Sting appearing, 48 out of 73 polled said they had attended a concert sometime in 1988. "Sting was great," said Scott Downing '90.

Twenty-five students said they w~nt to the mall in search of nothing specific more than twice a week. "I'm at the mall four or five times a week," said Cindy Nelson '89. "Since I'm there so much, I leave my money at home; otherwise I'd buy the whole place out."

" I guess just being with my friends helps me relax ." Although most stu dents invested time and money in shopping, 19 of 75 students polled said they avoided malls at all costs . "The only time I go to the mall is when I know exactly what I want, " said Robb Traylor '89. "I go in, I get it, and I get out of there ." Another reason some students said they stayed away from malls in their free time was because their jobs trapped them there during the week. "I can 't stand to eat at the mall anymore, because I used to eat there all the time on my breaks," said Troy Gibler '91, Kay Bee Toys employee. - Ericka Wellman Getting Away From It All 17 .. Between the heat and tornado, summer of '88 ~ertainly was no breeze I n 15 minutes it was over. Frightened residents who had huddled in basements and closets emerged to face trees on top of cars and homes without roots . What appeared to be the result of war was actually the work of Council Bluffs' worst storm since the flood of ' 52 - a storm that brought four tornadoes and 100 mph winds. Making the drought pale in comparison, the storm seemed to climax Mother Nature's anger. On July 15 at 4:45 p.m ., the city lost 30 percent of its trees and 930 homes were damaged . Schools suffered $130,000 in damage. AL was lucky, but many EASY DOES IT. Before the summer's heat begins, Debbie Fairchild cleans her pool.

While putting them on, Bowman was startled. "I turned around and saw the Taco John's sign flying at me," said Bowman. Fortunately, a telephone pole stopped the sign. But some students weren't as lucky. Shawna Benson '90, came home to find a wall on the ground. "I was at my grandma 's house during the storm,'" said Benson. "I had this feeling that something had happened to our house." But the tornado made one student a hero. When eight children were playing in Discovery Park, Terry Ragaller '90, ran to tell them to go home because of the storm, but they didn't move. Making three trips, Ragaller carried the children to safety. "I still can't believe what I did," said Ragaller, who suffered minor injuries. Ragaller was awarded the Kiwanis and Rotary Club International Distinguished Service Awards. Even before the tornado, students thought the summer of '88 was terrible . With temps soaring from 95 to 104 degrees from June through August, students struggled to avoid the heat. Jeff Hays '89, often went to Bowman's air-conditioned house to play his Sports Illustrated baseball game." "It was better than going outside," Hays said . But 130 students who attended sports , porn pon, cheerleading, and journalism camps couldn't avoid the heat. They had to stay in dorms without air and practice in sweltering gyms. Whether students were avoiding the tornado or suffering through the heat, all agreed it was an unforgettable summer. - Barb Roth THE DAY AFTER.

But " typical" was not the word most would use to describe September. When faculty members came up with the idea of holding spirit competitions between homerooms, students willingly accepted the challenge of making floats out of wagons for the Homecoming pep rally . The float competition "NICE LEGS!" Julie Kadereit compliments Paul Grafelman on Dude Looks Like A Lady day. (Photo by Jody Anderson) was just one example of unexpected events students experienced from the moment they entered school on the first day to the action-packed end of Homecoming week . Starting school on a Friday was the first sign that September would break the traditional mold. "I liked starting school on a Friday because you saw all of your friends and made plans for that evening," said Kari Hannan '90. "You also had the weekend before starting the first full week of school." During the first week, students discovered many changes at school. After 30 years, every trace of asJACK IN THE BOX.

The cost was 10 cents, and each time a person nabbed a Baby Ruth, his or her name was put into a drawing for the toilet. "I really wanted that toilet," said Jim Mathisen '89. "I thought it would look sweet in my bedroom ." Another big hit was the win-a-date with Terry Troutner contest. "I wanted to win that contest so bad," said one sophomore girl. " Terry Troutner is so hot." Another "hot" part of the evening was the live entertainment. The wild crowd calmed down to give its attention to senior swing choir members Doug Hoover, Dennis Kirlin, and Rob King as they sang "Kiss Him Goodbye." "It was a scary experience for me because it was the first time I ever sang a solo in front of such a big crowd ," said Kirlin. The biggest highlight of the dance was a chance to dance with one of Al's own Chippendales, Tyler French '89, Randy Goeser '90, Scott Wright '89, and Dave Tornabane '89, all dressed in bow ties, running tights, and nothing else. "I was a Chippendale because I thought it would be fun," said Goeser. " Besides, a bunch of people bet me I wouldn't do it." All it took to dance with one of the Chippendales was a little guts and 50 cents. " They were all so good looking," said Stacy Robicheau '91. "It was hard to decide which one to dance with ." Even with the Chippendales, the dance was still not financially successful. "We lost a lot of money," said DECA member Jody Anderson '89. " We're still glad we did it, though, because I haven't heard one person say they didn't have a good time." - Rachelle Hill JAMMIN'. Lulu Drummond and Art Adams dance at Halloween Dance.

"What stands out most in my mind was the togetherness," said Cannon. "It was great having all of my family there at one time." Many students found that they grew closer to others in November. For some, the political campaign sparked new friendships . Erika Meldrum '91, and Dawn Pyland '89, worked behind the scenes about 200 hours to get Michael Dukakis elected . They went door to door handing out literature proclaiming the strengths of their candidates, and they called citizens to remind them to vote. "The campaign brought Dawn and I closer," Meldrum said . "We shared ideas and saw the best and worst of each other." "Bush campaigners couldn't believe the way we brought Dukakis from way down in the polls to winning in the county, but I know how we did it - teamwork." Once George Bush was elected in a nationwide landslide Nov. 8, attention turned from political discussions to rehearsals for the comedy, Fools, presented Dec. 1-3. Twenty cast and crew members spent more than 100 hours together rehearsing. These activities created an opportunity for the cast and crew to become better acquainted . "I didn't know a lot of the cast and crew, but once I worked with them, I realized they were people I enjoy," said Laura Willey '89. "No one showed anger or resentment against me because I was new and got the lead," she said . "They were really open and let me into their group and to join other groups.

In December of 1988, many students revisited their childhood to get the most from the holiday season. During the first two weeks of December, students rummaged through closets and long ago forgotten toy chests to find clothes and toys for needy children during Al's annual food and toy drive. Although student council president Dennis Kirlin '89, said the number of items donated fell 500 short of the 3400 donated last year, students collected enough to almost fill the Goodwill truck. "I was surprised to see all the toys that were donated," said Kirlin. "Surprisingly, there were more toys than clothes or food." Christmas Dance sponsors appealed to the kid in us when they selected the theme "Forever Young." Foreign Exchange Club members carried out their theme by covering tables out in the commons area with white paper and providing crayons for tired dancers to scribble with. "Coloring the tables was neat because it was a fun break from dancing," said Julie Mankin ' 89. "My friends were writing messages back and forth, and AN ENDLESS NUMBER . Toys, clothes, and cans mount up for student council counters Jorge Garcia and Brian Mains during the Dec. 17 food and toy drive. (Photo by Kathy Westphal) "THIS HAT'S TOO BIG!"

When students heard the dance would be in the small gym instead of the fieldhouse to protect the gym floor, most complained that it would be too crowded , but dancers found they liked the cozy atmosphere. "Having it in the small gym was a good idea," said Lori French '90. "I thought it was going to be super crowded, but it wasn't." Even though dance organizers found a creative way to carry out their theme with a picture background of oversized blocks, stuffed teddy bears, and Cabbage Patch dolls, many students complained that the setting SAVORING THE MOMENT. " Forever Young ," the Christmas Dance theme song, plays as Chrysta Nelson sways to a slow song with Dan Vanwinkle. (Photo by Jody Anderson) was babyish. "I was disappointed with the background of the dance pictures," said Vickie Ambrose '91. "I felt like I was getting my kindergarten pictures taken again. Even though it went well with the theme, I still believe they could've thought of something better." But students were more than ready to revert back to childhood again when they returned to school on Monday to compete in a homeroom decorating contest, in which the first place room would win a pizza party.

"Mr. Koch suggested we write to Santa, so Todd Johnson wrote saying he'd been good, and set it on the fireplace." Finally on Dec. 25, students scrounged through the ir stockings and opened their surprises. While some had begged for big toys like a new car, others were content with smaller gifts. "This Christmas I got about 20 dolls, " said Becky Baumker '90. " They were anywhere from three inches to three feet tall. I have about 700 dolls, and I feel like a kid every time I get one." One student received a gift which brought back memories of endless hours in the arcade. "I had been wanting a Nintendo game system for a long time ," said Scott Hansen '90, "and when I opened up the last of my presents and found one, I felt like a kid because I could stay up and play video games."

The remainthoughts that come to mind about January, but January '89 was full of surprises, not the winter blahs. January started on a high note with mild temperatures averaging 34 degrees, 14 above normal. Fair weather wasn 't the only refreshing surprise. On Jan. 19, 20, and 21, 2000 people crowded into the school for everything from sports to carnival games. Lynx-0 -Rama, a Post Prom fundraiser, was organized by more than 80 Booster Club members. Individual organizations set up games in the small gym der went to Post Prom. With a goal of $5000, the Booster's were thrilled to earn an estimated $2700 towards Post Prom and $2900 for organizations. "Lynx-0-Rama was definitely successful," said Karen Capel, Booster president, "We have decided to make it an annual event." Two thirds of the $2700 came from an auction. By the end of the night, highest bidders were awarded donat8d prizes such as a weekend in Colorado, dinners at local restaurants, gift certificates, and a football signed by Cornhuskers. Carnival games were successful too . Booths included everything from a fortune teller to the favorite, a jail. Anyone could fill out a form to put someone behind bars. After the arrest, prisoners licked lollipops to be freed. "When my boyfriend put me in jail, I was mad because I had told him I was going to put him in jail, but he told me he would get mad," said Shelly Ferris '90. " So, when I got out, I arrested him."

Even though Mother Nature's icy grip lasted for the entire month, students enjoyed hot times in a frosty February. "During the first week in February, Amy Larsen, Kathy Westphal, and I went ice skating at Ak-Sar-Ben," said Kim Shipley '90. "We all knew how to ice skate, but since we weren't that good at it, we had contests to see who could fall down the most. Kathy lost because she kept hanging on to the sides of the skating rink.'' The February freeze-out was still in full force on Valentine's Day, but enough flowers, candy, and balloons were delivered to school to inundate three offices and warm the hearts of hundreds of students. "My boyfriend sent me three red roses with a really the gifts, I was so surprised. It was such a romantic thing for him to do!" Temperatures still hadn't risen by the time Fiddler on the Roof was performed at the end of February, but endless hours of hard work in a hot auditorium made for sweaty rehearsals.

Its victims craved the warmth of the sun, felt an urge to go bare legged, and grew listless at the thought of school work. The illness was a contagious phenomenon known as Spring Fever, and with March's warmer than ever weather, it struck early. For some of the afflicted, laying out became a top priority. "When it got up to about 70 degrees the first week in Ma.rch, I laid out," said Nikki Kinney '91. "It was just for an hour, but I really noticed a difference." Although some couldn't get enough of the sun, others got burned when exposed to it too long. "We had a tennis match in Atlantic on the 15th, and had to play from nine to four," said Rachel Nelson '89. "My legs had tan lines from my socks, my face felt like leather, and I had blisters on my shoulders. I didn't think it would be that bad so early in the year." As soon as the first 55 degree day hit, most couldn't resist donning shorts and tank tops. "It was great being able to wear shorts again," said Jennifer Zupfer '91. "All of my teachers seemed to think I was insane for wearing them when it only got to JUST KIDDIN ' AROUN D.

But super comfy clothes and warm, sunny days seemed to make sitting in the classroom harder than ever. "Third quarter was the worst for me," said Chuck McKinley '89.

"After trying on six dresses at the costume shop, I found a pink and purple sequined one and a hat with a veil," said Melissa Frick '91 . " Brian Swartz was embarrassed to wear his tights, but we made fun of him and he finally did." The creative theme paid off when the committee sold 250 tickets after hoping to sell 200. " The attendance was the highest in years," said Jorge Garcia '90. "I think it showed that school spirit is increasing." A great DJ and tireless dancers added to the fun of the dance. Then minutes after it was supposed to be over, students were still dancing and the DJ was still playing music. "I told the DJ the dance ended at 11 :30, but he said his contract was until 12," said sponsor Marsha Grandick. "I told him to take off early, but he asked to play three more songs because no one wanted to stop dancing." The fun didn't end at the dance . Thanks to the booster club ' s extensive planning, students could party until dawn. Held at Brunswick Bowl from midnight to 5 a.m ., post prom encouraged 390 students not to drink by providing bowl i ng, casino games, and dog races. Prizes such as a $300 shopping spree, a color TV, a VCR, and an electric typewriter didn't come cheap. Post prom boosters spent $3400 on prizes and $1100 to rent the bowling alley.

May became a month of try-outs and trying out as students tested everything from the parking lot policy to the third annual luau to the post-graduation "real world." Even administrators got in on the act as they tried a new parking lot policy under which instructor Mike Hushaw was hired to patrol the lot during the day. According to Principal Fred Frick, the pol icy was implemented in an attempt to curb thefts from cars and keep visitors from roaming the hallways. The policy was criticized by students, though, who complained that it imprisoned them. "The whole entire thing was stupid, unfair, and in a way, gave AL a negative image in the community," said Angel Olivarez '91 . " Then there were times when Hushaw just let people go by without looking at passes, and that defeated one of the purposes of having him out there." Proving that determined sk ippers could still get away with mischief, 26 juniors took an unofficial field trip to Henry Doorly Zoo for Chris Sorensen's birthday. "So we wouldn't be caught for skipping, we had our parents call the school and say we were s ick ," said Brett Nation '90. "We spent the entire day at the zoo and never got in trouble."

"I didn't like how the administration handled it, " said Michelle Timm ' 89. "They made a big deal about it and after being here for four years, we deserved a skip day." But May wasn't all that horrible for seniors when class sponsors Don Scheibeler and Carol Tiller tried having a tea for the graduates. (continued on page 42) DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS.

On May 12, the student council tried holding its third spring luau and after two years of minimal success, the group netted nearly $268 from the $1 admission. One of the more successful events of the luau was the senior farewell dance, where students had the opportunity to tee-pee the gym as they walked in. But there was one event in May which everyone tried out - the grand opening of an east side McDonald's. "It was about time they opened a McDonald's down by the mall," said Pam Traylor '91. "I was getting THE BEGINNING OF THE END. Arm in arm, Phil Brainard and Priscilla Leu wait for English instructor Don Whyte to give them the signal to march. (Photo by Stephanie Foss) tired of Burger King." But for some, the excitement of the luau, skip days, or the grand opening soon gave way to nervousness when tryouts for cheerleading and swing choir started the following week. " The week before tryouts, I was really nervous. I knew there was a lot of competition," said Kim Shipley '90, "so I prepared myself for the worst. So when I didn't make it, the shock wasn't so bad." But perhaps the greatest try-out fear of the month struck May 23, when Al's first four-year class marched into the fieldhouse for commencement. Although the seniors walked into the fieldhouse as one, they had different feelings about graduation. "I was glad to graduate "LOOK AT THE FISH."

Others, though, admitted they felt sad about leaving their second home. "At first, I was glad to graduate," said Jennifer Thomas '89. "But when we handed in our gowns, I felt sad because I knew it would be the last time I would see some of my friends." Whatever the feeling about commencement, seniors were on their way to trying out life in an adult world. - Robb Traylor MUSCLES.

For the first time, runners made history by sending representatives from all four squads to compete at the state level. When the boys' and girls' cross country squads traveled to Ames to compete in the state championships, Oct. 31, it became the first time in nearly a decade that the Lady Lynx were represented and the first time the Lynx brought home an All-Stater. ''It was the best feeling in the world when I found out I was an All-Stater," said Paul Grafelman '89. "The title 'All-State' goes to only ten people in Iowa, so it was an incredible feeling to know that I was considered one of the best." When the tracksters sent both squads to State after one of the best seasons ever, Paulette Mitchell '92, became the state champion in the shot put. "After my very first throw, I didn't think I even had a chance of placing in the top four," said Mitchell. "But after my second throw, I felt much more confident about winning.'' Getting out of the state was the biggest thrill for the porn pon squad, who traveled to the NCA Porn Pon National Championships in Dallas over Christmas vacation. "We were excited when we had the chance to ?.Tiarch in the Cotton Bowl Parade," said Coco Fossland '92. "But the fact that nearly a million people were watching didn't hit us until after the parade.'' So whether our teams and pep squads wore the school colors at home or away, they felt dressed to kill and knocked 'em dead. - Robb Traylor 44 Sports Division KICKIN' HIGH.

After hours of practice, the softball team accumulated a dismal 12-22 record, and the baseball team had a mediocre 18-20 record. For the baseball team, inexperience was the main cause for a poor season . "Most were underclassmen in their first year of varsity," said Coach Rick Wahl. Softball players, on the other hand, suffered from the inability to hit consistently. "The girls just couldn't get good hits when needed," said Coach Bob Pettepier. BOMBS AWAY!

"We played 15 games before the season even started," said Mike Graham '90. Such dedication resulted in strong defense for the. boys. In one game against TeeJay, A.L. was losing 0-7 but came back to win 8-7. For the girls, a strong defense was a result of many years of playing together.

"Then it started to rain and we all thought it would hurt the momentum we had going , but when we came back on the field and saw all the fans cheering in the rain, it made us keep our momentum up." From then on, the Lynx never looked back and went on to clobber the Falcons 32-6, proving to themselves and . their fans they had what it took _to play tough and win. But hopes of a winning season soon dimmed as the Lynx went on to lose their next four games, in part, ironically enough, because of their enthusiastic fans. "After the St. Albert game, I OFFENSE! During the second half of the game against the Bryan Bears, center Chris Pleake gets ready to snap the ball to quarterback Mike Moats.

"Everyone, including teachers, kept coming up and saying how great we played, so we stopped working hard at practice. We started losing and then lost confidence, which we didn't gain back until the Bryan game." Starting out slow, the Lynx trailed the Bears 27-7. But after a halftime pep talk, the Lynx dominated the second half and won 28-27. "I think what motivated us to win was the fact that we all expected Emsick to be mad and come in the locker room yelling at us," said Johnson. "But he didn't. He came in and (continued on page 50) Football 49 I GS KIN started putting up diagrams of how we could win the game. It was like he thought we were still in the game and as a result, we believed we were." But all the motivation Ems i ck could give was not enough to make the Lynx a match for the Metro's top rated Creighton Prep and Millard South, who inflicted devastating losses on the Lynx. After playing tough Omaha teams, the Lynx went on to win the last game of the season against cross town rivals Tee Jay 24-17.

Despite heavy practicing, JV also had trouble, ending their season 1-8. I think our main problem was the fact that we never had any time at all to get our plays down," said Chris Bryson '90.

During a match against Atlantic, the team used its desire to knock off the Trojans in five games. After trailing by two games, the Lady Lynx pulled together just in time. "It was looking bad for us," said Michelle Frick '89. "We couldn't do anything right. Fans were leaving because they figured we'd lose. Something clicked in the third game. Heidi had one awe~ome hit; after that we pulled through." But the season wasn't all wins and losses. There was much work to be done to prepare for competition. "I loved coaching the girls.

" I wasn't really that scared about dancing in the parade until the cameras turned on," said Becky Machmuller '91 . " It was then it finally hit me I was dancing in front of millions of people."

During the summer, all three cheerleading squads distinguished themselves at the ICF (International Cheerleading Federation) Camp in Lincoln. The freshman squad won 10 ribbons in categories ranging from excellence in cheer execution to creativity . They also won first place in the freshman division. "We were so excited when we found out we got first ," said Kristi Knoernschild '92. "We practiced for hours at a time to perfect routines." (continued on page 74) EXTERIOR DECORATORS.

As a result of outstanding performances, Jody Randall '89, was invited to be an ICF instructor around the nation. "I felt so privileged," said Randall. "I really had no idea I'd be chosen." The hardest part about camp was the weather. " The weather was ungodly," said Heidi Neighbors '90. "It was about 103 degrees every day. We stayed in air conditioned dorms, but we were only in them at night. I've never been so miserable in my life." Performances under more pleasant conditions were given when administrators from 74 Sports IRCUIT Continued Longfellow and Hoover schools asked the girls to teach cheers during the element a ri es' mini-university days. "While teaching the little girls, I remembered how I admired the cheerleaders when I was their age," said Deborah Hogan '91 . "It made me feel special when the girl$ told me they wanted to be a cheerleader just like me when they got older." The porn pan squad, on the other hand, didn't feel so appreciated at their hardest away-from-home performance during the Ralston Porn Pon Invitational. "We were the only squad from Iowa, so no one cheered LET'S GO LYNX! Members of the cheerleading and porn pon squads gather in the stands to cheer on the Lynx football team.

At a technique clinic held afterwards, we learned what we wanted to be like and could be like." But no matter what the outcome of away performances, the porn pan and cheerleading squads were always warmly received by the Lynx crowd. "When we danced at home the weekend after Ralston , it was great having everyone cheer for us," said Richey.

But to team members and coaches, student managers were the backbone of every team from cross country to basketball to soccer. course cheering us on or at the finish line ready to congratulate us. It was a real morale booster to have her there. But the many things managers did made them appreciated by teammates. "Pat was there to tape our ankles, get out the basketballs, sweep the floors , and cheer us on in the games," said Kevin Clark '90. "It was nice to have Throughout the athletic department, 17 managers spent nearly as much time on the job as Robb Traylor '89 '' coaches and players did. "Most of my job had to do with giving the guys support," said kathy Westphal '90, track manager. "I always gave them hugs whether they were down or did well in a race." Many of the athletes were pleased to have the moral support of managers. "Lulu (Drummond '89) was always there," said Robb Traylor '89. "She was either on the cross country course cheering us on or at the finish line ready to congratulate us. It was a real morale booster to have her there. Even if you came in dead last, she was there to give you a pat on the back, and at a time like that, she made you feel a lot better." Managers provided not only moral support for team members, but also advice. "Kristen (Lee '89) showed me different ways of kicking and trapping the ball," said Stephanie Knauss '92, soccer player. " I could tell where his advice helped me during State." Mostly, managers took care of details and did the drudgery players and coaches had no time for. During practice, they helped with drills, taped ankles, and carried equipment. During competition, they did everything from wrapping knees and filling water bottles to videotaping performances and folding warmups. Some of the jobs managers did were pretty awful, such as the time when boys' basketball manager Pat Halstead '91, had to clean up a puddle of blood after Rob Goodman '89, had a severe cut in his mouth. Others had to clean up even more awful messes. "In practice, the wrestlers used spit buckets and sometimes they missed, and when they did, I had to clean up the mess," said Staci Lambert '9 1, wrestling manager. For football manager Beth Tangemen '89, part of the job required administering first aid. "I got sick of the smell of the green athletic gel which I had to 78 Special Feature someone there to cheer us on and do the things we didn't have time to do." One of the things coaches and players didn't have time to do was keep detailed stats of every single game the way volleyball manager Kara Vergamini '90 did. "After every game, Kara would spend almost an hour filling out every little detail for each player on the stat sheets," said Kris Mauer '90. "This really helped us when it came time to look at the areas where we needed help." Coaches also found the assistance of managers to be invalu· I able. \ "Heidi (Workman '91) always knew what to do because she had played the sport before," said JV girls' basketball coach, Chuck May. "She would always write down some comment on the stat sheet outlining areas where the players needed work or were doing extremely well." Managers got involved behind the scenes for several reasons. "I played my freshman year, but I wasn 't tall enough to compete well on the JV or varsity basketball levels," said Halstead. "But I still wanted to be around the players and I figured that the best way to do that without playing was to become a manager." Drummond became a manager as a result of an injury. "I got an injury early in the cross country season and I couldn't run anymore," she said. "I still wanted to be around my friends on the team, so I asked Coach (Mick) Freeman if I could be manager and he agreed." So whether they were taping an ankle, dragging a ball cart behind them, or administering first aid, managers were respected by coaches and team members alike. ~ Jason Johnson LITTLE GUY WITH A BIG JOB.

Time after time, we changed out of sweatshirts and jeans into sweaters and slacks and found places to go where the knowledge we had gained through textbooks and lectures became more meaningful and real. On Feb. 9, 13 nervous Health Career students trekked to the Nebraska Medical Center Gross Anatomy Lab, where they viewed cadavers. Included in the visit was a tour through the Chemistry Department, where students learned how blood is cross-matched and blood tissues are tested. ''It was interesting to see the real kidney rather than a two dimensional picture," said Jason.P. Christensen '90. "We even got to see bone implants in a woman who had died during surgery. I have a lot more understanding of the real structure of the body now.' ' The Advanced Chemistry team journeyed to the Creighton Chemistry Field Day to compete on April 22, and took a surprising first place. The team scored a record high 126 points, beating the past record of 100. ''Going into the competition, we didn't expect to do as well as we did,'' said Abby Wilmarth '89, ''but while we were answering questions and doing the calculations, I could tell that we were going to place in the top five." Business classes also went out into the world, simulating a mock trial at the county courthouse. "It was a really great experience seeing how the court system worked," said Dan Dahir '90. "Each side had their own lawyers, witnesses and jurors. We had to memorize lines from a deposition and then we tried the case against other students from Tee Jay.'' All in all, we learned that going places off campus could expand and deepen knowledge gained in the classroom. - Heidi Neighbors ELBOW GREASE.

A II the students in instructor Connie Byrne's fifth hour Analysis class stood in a row representing open lockers in an analysis problem. Byrnes turned every second student around, then every third student, fourth, and so on . At last, the students had the answer to their problem: If there were 1,000 open lockers in a row and someone closed every second one, then another person changed every third, fourth, etc., how many would be left open? " Thinking I was clever, I spent a half hour doing the problem with 100 lockers on graph paper," said Terri Smock '90. "I got the right answer, but then I found out I could have done it in about a minute using just 10 lockers. I felt pretty stupid." R ockets being launched, a man lifting weights, and a child brushing his teeth were a few of many activities that took place in Ron Lakatos' Computer Programming class - that is, these activities took place on the computer screen after students wrote original programs that included graphics.

A s the cold winter days approached, students in first floor math classes sometimes spent more time shivering than working on their math. The problem was soon solved when instructor Bob Pettepier brought a space heater into his Algebra 3-4 class. Students would race into the room to get a seat next to the space heater. "When I sat by the heater, I was less worried about the cold and I could concentrate on my assignment," said Amy Larsen '90. S tudents in Howard Graber's geometry class liked to see stars.

"But everybody did bad on it, so we realized we had a lot of work to do to get ready for the real thing ." M ost used cake for dessert, but English 7-8 students used cake to make a Greek theater, complete with a chorus, audience, and actors. For a project, seniors Kevin Malick, Beth Tangeman , and Lisa Koenig constructed a model of a Greek theater from white cake and frosting . "We made two cakes and placed them on top of one another," said Tangeman . " One cake served as the floor, and the other was the stage." H e's out of his mind," said Andrea Rocheleau '90. "We can 't write a sentence 100 words long!" This was the reaction of honors English students after they were given the sentence, "It's great to be alive today" to lengthen to 100 words or more. Groups of four worked tog ether to become familiar with the ornate language of colonial writers. In less than 20 minutes, Scott Downing '90, Shelley Binkley '90, and Jeremy Wenninghoff '90, had expanded the six word sentence into 218 words . " It's hard work to make a simple sentence longer and fancier," said Binkley. ·.·b ... •I i;.. ,. .. o· ~· . .;o .. ., .. ~. ~ ~o ~ .- · . ... ' . . . .•. ... •O ~· ~ . • .

Coming to the rescue, John Jerome '89, blurted out the answer. The game was over and Jerome's team won the latest game of Latin Pictionary. Instructor Donald Scheibeler often used the game to help students learn Latin words. He would divide the room into two teams, and students would take turns drawing pictures and guessing their correct names. "I remember when Kevin Clark was drawing a picture of a dog and no one on his team knew what it was," said Rhonda Larson '90. "I yelled out the answer without realizing I was giving a point to his team." D igging imaginary tunnels for prison escapes and contemplating death by starvation, fifth year French class acted out scenes from "Dantes ." The part of Dantes, a young man condemned to life in prison , was played by Kari Hannan '90. Students recreated scenes without props or notes . "It was hard because I didn't know what everyone else was going to say," said Hannan. "I had to think on my feet and use French in a conversation off the top of my head. It was much harder than I thought." W hile playing German Scrabble in instructor Peggy Rodriguez's second year German class, David Gaupp '91, and Michelle Rief '91 , waited for their board to be checked and graded. "We had just built up enough words to get an A," said Gaupp, "when Michelle accidentally kicked the board. Our words went everywhere and we had to stay after class to put it all back }ogether." Activities such as Scrabble broke the monotony of everyday classroom work and helped students learn German vocabulary and have fun at the same time. A fter inventing products such as Stick Fix, Bean Cereal, and Doritos, Spanish students wrote and presented commercials on April 13. To better their speaking skills, instructor Barbara Kermode's Spanish 3 class presented commercials entirely in Spanish and used only words they knew . " I wrote my speech on Stick Fix, an imaginary hair product," said Brian Ferguson '92. " We all understood one another's skit and had a great time working on them .

Six years of the same elective course would make most students shudder in horror, but four seniors finished their sixth year of French before they graduated. By the last day, the 1080th to be exact, in· structor L'louise Bow· man had the students reading novels, writing essays, and carrying on conversations with each other completely in French. After starting French in the seventh grade , Darren Deroos, Jeff Jensen, Stacey Saunders, and Kate Lindberg stuck with it for five more years to become bilingual.

This was the scenario Larry Brown, economics instructor, presented to his Economics I class on Sept. 15. Together, groups prepared goals for survival. Brown 's goal was to show how the four questions of economics - what to produce , how much to produce, whom to produce it for, and how to produce - aren't limited to money but basic to survival. "The first thing our group did was select a leader. Then we decided how to distribute food and where to build shelter," said Priscilla Leu '89. /Jc ut off his hands!" "No, just cut off three of his fingers!" Students in instructor Mary Gepner's World History class shouted these imaginary punishments during a mock trial. Gepner created imaginary scenes in which students decided the fate of two Egyptian boys based on the Code of Hammurabi, the ancient Egyptian law in which severe punishments were given even for small crimes . "In one case, a boy hit his dad because the dad was hitting the boy's brother," said Shyla Putnam '91 . "Death seemed to be harsh punishment for self defense." N o, it wasn't Alex Trebek, and they weren't playing for money. It was the Political Issues class playing Jeopardy. Students were asked for questions to answers in categories ranging from the Olympics to environmental waste. " In the first round, we had to state questions for answers on the Olympics, and my partner and I totally bombed it," said John Riddle '90. "But luckily, we came back in the next couple rounds and tied for first." /J L ive from New York," blared out of the television in American Government class as the opening credits of Saturday Night Live rolled by. In October one unusual way students became familiar with political candidates was through watching satirical skits on Saturday Night Live. In one scene a five year old actor came out on stage, introduced himself as Dan Quayle, and proceeded to tell his political views . " I liked it because it presented the candidates in a funny way, " said Barb Paulson '90, "but at the same time, I got to learn their views ." ... . . . . ... .. . . . i.: •• .. . .•· •. ··. 0 .. .. ~-;': ~-. · .. . . .. . . . . . . . o. . -. ~ ' 0 . . . • . .. : ·' ... ·~ . · ... ..

Forgotten friskets and darkroom disasters create challenges in ... • • es1gn1n //I think I'm going to die!" screamed Michel Wehrli '89, who had just finished a painting she had worked on for days. As she lifted it up, all the paint ran. She had forgotten to use a substance called frisket, lamination to help stop the running of paint. "It was terrible," Wehrli said. "I spent so much time on it, and within seconds, it was ruined. All I could do was scream, 'SOMEBODY HELP ME!'" Winning the battle over frisket was one of the many things graphics students attempted . /Jc an I move now?" Kristy Borwick '89, asked after sitting in the same position for 15 minutes . Borwick served as a model in Drawing and Painting class on Sept. 23. Students learned proper proportioning, correct shadowing, and contrast shading by drawing live models. "Drawing people isn't easy. Getting their bodies proportioned right is very difficult," said Michelle McEvoy '90. "You have to study them a long time before drawing." F eeling certain that her latest negatives would provide sharp, clear images, Keri Suden '90, grinned as she took the lid off of her developing canister. Confidently, she pulled the slippery strip toward her eyes. Suddenly, terror engulfed her face and an instant shriek of "Oh, No-o-!!" came from the darkroom as she realized she had just developed another darkroom disaster. Suden had expected to see images of student s playing volleyball, but instead, she saw total blankness. Mistakes in developing were present every day in 7th hour photography class. "I must've gotten the solutions mixed up," said Su den. "I could have screamed because I was so sure the negatives would be perfect." G iven a mound of clay and told to form a mold by the end of the period, J.J. Sholtz '90, diligently rolled the thick mass between her hands, wondering if she could make a recognizable face in less than 45 minutes. The Dec. 6 assignment in ceramics class was to select a person , real or imagined, and make a mold of his or her face with clay . " I thought I'd never be able to duplicate an imagined face I had drawn," said Sholtz, " but I gave it my best shot, and the mold looked like the picture." ... . ,·I .. .o • .: '· 0 ' .

M ost people think eggs are to be poached or fried, but students in Child Care knew eggs were something to be loved and cared for. As an introduction to parenthood, instructor Patti Ford's students became parents to egg babies. Students took care of the egg like a real child . If the parents were going out, a babysitter had to be hired. If the baby were kidnapped, ransom had to be paid . Students passed if no harm came to the egg at the week's end . "Someone grabbed mine and wrote on her," said Pam Traylor '91. "So I had to put white-out all over the places where she was marked up. When Mrs. Ford asked what happened, I told her she had plastic surgery!" T hey had been in class for almost a semester when the moment of truth arrived . Using the skills they had learned in class so far, inst~~ctor Clark Allen's Power Mechanics class had to clean up a lawn mower engine and make it run for a grade. "It was a good experience for the people who wanted to learn," said Sean Cihacek '90. " It will help me repair things myself instead of having to pay someone to do it." A s Kurt Kimball '90, tossed pizza dough in the air, he realized it wasn 't hard to make pizza . "I was surprised when my pizza turned out well," said Kimball. "I never thought I could do it since the only pizza I ever cooked was frozen." It took the Foods class three days to complete the required pizza making project, with every day jam-packed. "While the pizza was cooking," Kimball said, "we set the table with place mats and everything, so when the pizza was done, we could eat it fast and do the dishes ." I magine being brutally beaten and unable to do anything about it. During the dating and marriage unit in Family Living class, students watched "The Burning Bed," a movie about a married woman beaten by a husband who threatened to kill her if she left. Finally , she poured gasoline over him and lit him on fire . As they watched , students discovered the pain and hopelessness battered women endure. " It was really sad to see someone being treated like that," said Kris Mauer '90. "It made me rea lize wh at's going on and how scary it would be to be in that position and not be able to get out." .•. . : 0. , .. P•:: .. ~ .. •. . ;, . . .·. .·• o. o •• . ~- . .. ·. • .•· .

Jody Anderson '89 said she'd give the criminal the money and sound the alarm . Students in Market Co-op answered questions like tnis on a 15 page job questionnaire which included details ranging from workers' names to the dress code to managers' duties. " Before I started this assignment, I didn 't even know who the president of our company was," said Nicole Askins '89, who worked at First Federal Bank. "Now that I know more about my job, I feel more part of the company." T he history of America lies in your hands, ladies and gentlemen," said Lee Spence, defense attorney in the televised trial of Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 25 years ago. To become familiar with courtroom procedures, Busi· ness Law students watched the trial, in which two of the nation's top defense and prosecuting attorneys appeared in front of an actual judge and jury. "Even though our class voted not guilty, I wasn't surprised to hear the guilty verdict," said Chris Sorensen '90. K eyboarding classes had a surprise on Nov. 23, the day before Thanksgiving .

Interesting inventions called Mow-Angle ranged from talking koozies, to steroids, to vibrating underwear. " I couldn't believe Terry Troutner's presentation," said Leah Wel lman '89. "He told us the purposes for vibrating underwear and everybody just lost it." .. . .. .. ... : . ,,. .. .. .. ·.·. .. ·•. ; o .

Hours of work had gone into her editorial for the Advanced Placement Journalistic Writing class . She knew it was perfect, not a mistake. She couldn't wait to see that A on the page. '' I tried so hard. I spent, on the average, three and a half hours a night on AP work. I broke the work up; I read on the bus, I read walking home, I even read during dinner. earning the grade." Even though the object of AP classes was to prepare for the tests, students didn't worry too much about passing . "If I don't end up passing the AP test, it's not a total loss," said Heidi Sandy, AP Biology student. " I' ll be that much more ahead of the others when I get to the real thing." Teri Herron '91 '' The paper landed on her desk, red ink scrawled all over the place. Instead of that A on the page, a big , fat B+ was slapped at the top. All the research , the time, the effort, had been wasted, she felt. Disappointments like this weren 't uncommon in AP classes where grades , as well as opinions of the courses, varied. Going into the courses, some students thought AP would just be a harder version of the general class offered, but they soon found more differences between the two levels of work. " It's not just that there was more work to do," said Abby Wilmarth '89, who carried five AP classes. " The work was on a college level and you had to move at a much faster pace." Heavy reading assignments requiring hours of concentration posed the biggest problem for students. For every hour spent in class, AP students were supposed to spend two hours working outside of class, just as in a college course. But depending on the teacher and class, students gave different reports of exactly how much work was entailed. While AP Economics students said the class required in-class lectures and analysis , AP Journalistic Writing students found extensive out-of-class work necessary. "I tried so hard ," said Teri Herron '91 , who took the AP writing course. " I spent, on the average , three and a half hours a night on AP work . I broke the work up; I read on the bus, I read walking home, I even read during dinner." Stud ents had high hopes for the tests in May, but scores weren't the sole measure of the good reaped from AP classes . Benefits such as self confidence, better study skills, and college preparation came from AP classes . " Last year I didn 't do anything in English and passed," said Michelle Timm '89, AP English student. " This year I found I'm SATURDAY FUN. To prepare for the AP exam, Chris Weber shares an outline of his answer to a sample essay test question with other AP Journalistic Writing students, Clayton Westervelt, Sarah Richey, and Brian Swic k. About half the c lass attended the special study session. (Photo by Robb Traylor) Others agreed with Sandy. Ac - cording to Rachelle Hill '91 , the skills she learned in AP Journalistic Writing were ones no other class had even touched on. " When Mrs . Smoley gave us this huge list of literary term s, she said, 'I'm sure you 've already learned most of these in English ... ' " said Hill. " Everybody just kind of looked around blankly because none of us had any idea what she was talking about. We had never learned that stuff." When it came time to take the tests in May, some st udents found them to be a welcomed surprise. "Mr. Brown had scared us enough about how hard the test would be that everyone studied well," said Dave Snyder '90, AP Economics student. 'When we took the test, it seemed like we knew everything ; it all seemed so basic ." No matter how much AP students knew, some obstacles could not be overcome when testing time arrived . Midway through the multiple choice section of the Language and Literature and Composition tests on May 17, st udents were disrupted by 12 minutes of morning announcements and promised a time extension to make up for the distraction. They were given an extra two minutes ; the missing ten minutes were the difference in completing the test for many students. "I was scared going into the test because I didn't know what to expect," said Brian Swick '91 . " Once I finally started con centrating , the announcements came on and I lost it. When the time was up, I had only about 10 questi ons unanswered. If I would have had the extra time, I could have finished." Although fea r was one emotion all AP student s experienced at one time or another, most of those fears were overcome. Timm said one reason she hesitated to sign up for AP was th e fact that people had told her how terrible the classes were. " You hear people complain about AP cl asses all the tim e," said Timm . " They talk about how hard they are and how much you'll regret taking one. I think a lot can be gained from taking the classes . AP is nothin g to be afraid of." - Ericka Wellman Advanced Placement Classes 101 Dressed for 0uccess 102 e had to look the part. If we were debating with the best at rival schools, parading on the football field at halftime, walking down West 57th Street in New York City, or longing for a way to stand out from other groups, we wore the threads we needed to fit the image. "It's always been a tradition that debate members wear suits and ties," said Dustin Putnam '90. "We don't have to wear them, but the judge looks at you in a different light, depending on what you wear.'' Whether they were performing in contests, or singing at nursing homes and shopping malls, swing choir members eagerly showed off their royal blue and red ruffled dresses and black tuxedos, complete with tails. "The guys' tuxedos looked flashy with the tails, and the girls' dresses always shimmered underneath the lights,'' said Mindy Abel '89. " The entire ensemble made us look professional and when we were performing in the mall, we always caught the shoppers' eyes." During football halftimes, eyes focused on the field where band members marched in their gray and royal blue uniforms and flag gkls' sequined vests flashed underneath the lights. But some clubs chose to create a more casual image. The newly formed Pep Club wore red T-shirts while the publication staffs donned forest green sweatshirts with navy blue Greek letters as a way to stand out from others. ''We saw that all the other groups had some method of showing their identity," said Amy Larsen '90, " so we wanted to show ours.'' So whether we wanted to create a look of confidence and success or relaxation and belonging, we always wore the right threads when we represented Lynx organizations. - Robb Traylor Organizations Division NEW YORK!

Through practices,. performances, and playtimes, singers find choir rewarding INELYTUNE B ombarded by toast, hot dogs, and decks of cards during the Rocky Horror Picture Show, choir members shared laughter and embarrassment after a performance in November. "Eric Wyant stood up and announced to everyone in the place that we were virgins to the show," said Greg Schwiesow '89. "Since we were in front, we got stuff thrown at us." Nights like this showed choir members could harmonize in and out of school. "We spent so much time together, we had our own little family," said Molly Spann '91. " We learned to see things in one another that others take for granted." The annual trip to Maryville, MO, in February provided the best chance for singers to become closer. While in Maryville, the choirs dormed at the Immaculate Conception monastery. Because the quiet, disciplined lifestyle of the monks was much different than the singers were accustomed to, they decided to spice things up. While Dick Price '91, slept in his dorm room the evening after competition, his roomies plotted against him. Little did he know he was to be the victim of their prank. Without waking him, Aaron Thatcher '91, and Dennis Kirlin '89, poured a package of instant pudding into Dick's mouth. When he woke up, the mix was covering his entire face and worked its way into his ears. ONE MORE SCOOP. At a dinner held for t he New Design at Jenny Edmunson Hospital after their Dec. 19 performance, Greg Schwiesow and Tena Nelson fill their plates. (Photo by Jody Anderson) But the year wasn't all fun and games. When it came time to compete, singers got right down to business. "As it got closer to contest time, everybody was tense at practice," said Tena Nelson '90. "We could barely get through a half sheet of music without getting interrupted with corrections . Every hand had to be in exactly the same position and our heads turned in precisely the same direction. The competition was th at stiff. If we weren ' t perf ect, w e wouldn't stand a chance." But the intense practices came as no surprise to most singers, who ac - cepted the challenge without complaint. " When you try out for New Design , you know what you 're getting into," said Tracy Kestersen '90. " It' s so time consuming you've got to be dedicated to do it. I know a lot of people who, instead of working their schedu I e around a job, work it aroun d choir. " Despite having to sacrifice time for practices and performances, singers found choir was worth the hassle. " All through high school I had promised myself I'd make room in my schedule for concert cheir my senior year, " said Carolyn Widtfeldt '89. "I've always wanted to sing at my own graduati on, and now I'm going to get that chance." When all was said and done, con - test results proved singers' efforts (continued on P. 106) Choir 105 Continued INELYTUNE paid off. At home and on the road, choirs were given high marks. New Design earned a Division I rating at a competition held at AL in January and marched its way to a third place finish in the Northwest Missouri State swing choir competition in Maryville; and Concert Choir was chosen as a guest for the Southwest Iowa Honor Choirs Festival at Lewis Central in February. While older choir members enjoyed the applause and awards that resulted from their performances, members of the Young Design struggled through months of practice, keeping in mind that they, too, would eventually have the satisfaction of performing. "A lot of us felt like we were going nowhere because we'd been practicing two mornings a week all year and ALMOST FINISHED.

Silence filled the auditorium in Ames as the 600 members of the Allstate Choir readied themselves for the performance they'd been anticipating.

With determination, band and orchestra members hit a high note all year long AND BUFF I ce-cold dew seeped into band member Nathan Klaus' tennis shoes. He picked up his alto sax, and his numb fingers barely managed to manipulate the keys. During his short warm-up scales, he questioned why he was putting himself through this torture. But despite practices on freezing mornings and long bus trips to sometimes unsuccessful competitions, band and orchestra members had no choice but to love what they did. "Even though we had to be on the field sometimes before the sun came up," Klaus said, "I usually felt a sense of accomplishment when we all played as one. You have to love it." Band members weren't the only ones who had to be warmed up and ready at 7 a.m. Color Guard members also faced early morning workouts. "We never really got started until 7:30 but in the short time that we had, we really accomplished a lot," said Lacie Zuern '90. "Each practice was better and better. Our last performance was worth every sacrifice. We all cried." Members hoped that hours of practice would pay off at competition time, but sometimes they were disappointed. Marching members got a little over excited before the Lewis Central competition, and as several members put it, bombed the contest and got a rating of 2. What really humiliated them was getting beaten by long-time rival Tee Jay. Still, member s held onto their hopes and after more intense practices, the musicians made finals and placed ninth at UNO competition a week later. Most important, their ninth place was one rating above Tee Jay. "It was absolutely wonderful beating Tee Jay," said Brian Swick '9 1. "We weren't doing so well, so we all worked harder, pitched in, and gave a great performance none of us will ever forget." Great performances also came from orchestra members when five All-State qualifiers traveled to Des Moines to perform on Nov. 14. Prior to the play, each qualifier c ompeted for the highest chair possible by performing portions of selected pieces. Some did better than others. "I practiced until I had blisters on my fingers, but when I got there, and it was my turn, I froze _up and blew the whole thing ," said violi st Kris ten Rathman '89. "Even though I did terrible, performing with the All-State Orchestra was a great experience." Despite occasional blisters and bombed auditions, band members transmitted their love of music to younger student s. Outstanding members traveled to local elementary schools where they spent time one on one with fifth and sixth grade students. "I really enjoyed introducing different instruments to kids," said Jeremy Smothers '90. "It was really more like a community service. It made me feel good about myself." Jazz Band members fe lt good (continued on page 110) linstrnmell'1ltal Music 109 Continued AND BUFF about themselves when they placed well at several competitions. First, at the Southwestern Community College Jazz Festival, Jazz 1 members qualified for the state jazz championships. Then the year hit a high note at the Bellevue East Jazz Festival, the last competition before State. At the festival, Jazz 1 placed first in the metropolitan area out of 17 schools competing. " Winning was so unreal at first, almost like a dream," said Scott Wheeler '91. "We practiced so much, and finally we were good enough to place higher than all those other schools. No one can describe the feeling." After competitions, concerts, and football games, members got together for stress-releasing parties where they ate, drank, watched movies, got crazy, and grew much closer together. 110 ~ Organizations "We mainly had a lot of spaghetti parties," said Travis Walker '89. " It just gave us all a chance to let out all the steam from practices and contests." But parties were only a small part of the rewards band and orchestra members received for their hours of playing, marching, and travelling. The biggest reward, according to them, was making music, something they couldn't help but love. - Stephanie Foss PARTY TIME.

Instrumental Music 111 Echoes staffers address touchy issues and face printer problems EWSHOUND 8 efore walking into the porn shop, Jason Bowman '89, glanced up at the blinking sign, smirked, and looked over his shoulder, wondering if anyone he knew was driving by. o"nce inside, his mouth dropped in shock at the array of magazines , books, and sexual paraphernalia. Although Bowman didn't make a habit of visiting such establishments, newspaper staffers would go anywhere for a story . "I needed to research a story on pornography, so I decided just to go," sa id Bowman. " I didn 't even get carded. The whole shop seemed like a joke, one big sick joke." Boldly, the Echoes staff covered issues such as pornography in Council Bluffs , abortion , drug abuse on campus, and venereal disease. "Controversial stories were more interesting to write about, and they needed to b_e covered, " said Jennifer Sherman '90. "Our Christmas edition was on declining morality and we got a lot of flack from the administration about it. We didn 't let the criticism bother us, though. We covered problems of cheating, promiscuity, and shoplifting, and they are all issues that needed to be addressed." According to adviser Linda Smoley, junior ed itors Scott Downing, Sh erm an, Becky Baumker, Lacie Zuern , and senior Melanie Judkins showed courage not only in tackling issues but also in overcoming obstacles . One of the staff's most frustrating problems was not having a printer in the journali sm room . Instead, their laser printer was located in the main office. "I really hated having the laser 112 Organizations printer down in the office because it was such a long trip and everytime we needed to use the printer, we had to find a janitor to unlock the door," said Becky Baumker. " If we had to keep reprinting, it meant several trips down to the office. It was such an absurd waste of our time." Even without a laser writer, though, editors decided to learn the Pagemaker design program and begin setting their own headlines to save about $40 a month. Without the laser printer in the room, using Pagemaker required dozens more trips to the office each night, and added responsibilities required staffers to discover innovative ways to motivate one another. " One night, to help me get my work done, Jennifer followed me around with an X-acto knife threatening me," said Downing. " One can say it gave me motivation." Another problem the staff faced was having only three Macintosh computers in the room . " At times, we had to waste almost the whole hour waiting for a computer, and then we couldn 't meet our deadlines without spending an awfully lot of time after school," said Dave Snyder '90. In the end , the editors' and staffs' courage and dedication led to more than 20 awards, including two firsts in the state and three National Quill and Scroll awards, as well as runner up for the best newspaper in the metro. - Stephanie Foss " JUST WHAT I NEEDED?"

Craziness such as this constantly appeared inside and out of the yearbook room , where staffers found themselves doing anything to escape the frustrations of the Pub. "It was getting so hectic up there, we had to get away and go to our second shelter, TCBY," said Foss. " On our way there, we decided to ease the tension by staging a fight on Broadway. "I was behind Robb in my car, and I started honking like crazy . He stopped in the middle of the street, and we both got out and started fakefighting. It was hilarious because all the other cars just stopped and stared at us." Another way to escape the tension in Room 234 was to hide out with photographers. "I didn't feel inspired when I was near the other writers ," said Rachelle Hill '91 , "so I trekked to the darkroom, where I knew I wasn't supposed to be."

"On the last day of school when we worked from 12 noon to two in the morning, the tension was so thick that everybody was snapping at each other, and at one point we all felt like crying." Three yearbookers escaped the frustrations of Room 234 when they went to a yearbook convention in New York in March. At the convention, the 1988 book, which had already won first place in the state and seven national Quill and Scroll awards, won 11 Gold Circle awards from Col umbia Scholastic Press Assoc iation and a Silver Crown. "We were disappointed to receive only a Silver Crown," said adviser Linda Smoley. "The staff thought it was one of the best books we had ever done, so they were expecting a Gold Crown." The staff didn't let the disappointment get them down, though. On the next Monday and Wednesday worknights, they piled into someone's car, headed for TCBY, and let a few crazy times relieve them of their frustrations. - Lori Paulsen Yearbook 115 Speakers, debaters, and 'insiders' have fun, work hard, and gain success WEET TAL A fter suffering through four hours of competition and narrowly missing quarterfinals at the Bryan High School debate tournament, Lynx debaters finally found a way to have some fun. "One team had made it to quarterfinals and the rest of us were waiting in a big open area," said Chris Brewer '90. "Somebody had a powerball and we started to play with it. Before too long, we had a game going where we'd bounce the ball and whoever caught it got a point. " We were running around trashing other people's stuff, being really obnoxious. We all.had our dress clothes and shoes on, so we kept falling down. Then Chris Marsh stepped on the ball and it exploded into a million little pieces." Although they always had time for fun, the speakers and debaters also had to work hard to win a total of 23 trophies throughout the season. Even before the school year began, juniors Dustin Putnam, Scott Downing, Brewer, and Jon Hensley and senior Chris Marsh spent two weeks in July at the Baylor University Debate Institute in Waco, TX. " I worked harder at debate camp than I'd ever worked in my life. There was hardly any time to spend outside, or any time for fun," said Putnam. " For almost the entire two weeks we had to get up at eight o'clock for breakfast. We spent almost the whole day either in the library or in the dorm room, sorting through and organizing the research. "Between doing this, we would have lectures and practice debates. By the time we got to bed, it was usually two in the morning." Luck also played a part in success 116 Organizations during the year. When Mike Cooper '89 went to Districts in Fort Dodge in February he hadn't been to a tournament all year and had practiced only twice. Yet he won first place in extemporaneous speaking and qualified to go to Nationals in Golden, cp in June. "It was unnerving competing against people who had been speaking all year," Cooper said. "I went in saying that I was going to do the best I could and if I won, that would be great, but if not the sun would still come up tomorrow. By the final round, I knew I was doing well, but I didn't know how well." The Advanced Speech class was also successful producing the AL Insider for the second year, which was broadcast monthly on the Council Bluffs Schools' own station, Channel 35. " We've made a lot of improvements," said Andrea Rocheleau '90. " At the beginning of the year we were all still a little unsure about how to do the show. We had a lot of problems with editing and we even ended up having to tape a lot of shows over. " But when Todd Clark, who worked at Channel 17 and had access to editing equipment, joined the staff, it was like having our own television program." Overall, the speech and debate team and AL Insider staff combined fun and hard work to achieve impressive results. - Scott Downing AL INSIDER.

Service clubs attend retreats, aid community, and plan dances ELPIN'OU W hen Lori French '90, sprained her ankle and couldn't make it down the trail to a bon fire at the student council retreat, Dennis Kirlin 89, built a fire in the cabin so she and some others who stayed with her could roast marshmallows there. What Kirlin didn't know, however, was that all the vents in the cabin were closed, and soon the cabin would become so smokey that French would be forced down the trail on her hobbly ankle anyway. Unlike the group left behind in the cabin, service clubs didn't need a fire under them to get them going. Student council began the year's preparation during the retreat, where they selected " Excitable" as the theme for Homecoming. Once the theme was chosen, committees spent up to five hours a day ironing out last minute details during the week before Homecoming. One consisted of relocating coronation to the Mall of the Bluffs because C.B. field was damaged in a tornado and cars couldn't be driven on the St. Albert field. One difficulty in relocating was talking yearbook adviser Linda Smoley into allowing the yearbook signing party to be held in conjunction with the coronation. Traditionally, the yearbook staff had raised money by charging admission to the signing party. "We wanted to have the signing party with the coronation to ensure a lot of people would come, but you can't charge people to see their own coronation, so it was practically imMISSED A SPOT. In a hurry to finish, Margee Nagel paints blocks for Christmas Dance pictures. (Photo by Stacy Robicheau) possible to sell Mrs. Smoley on the idea," said Mike Cooper '89. "After we talked to her about ten times, she finally agreed to it, providing that a portion of the proceeds of a raffle we were holding went to the yearbook fund." In November, the student council held a Christmas drive during which they collected money , food and clothes for the needy. Later, they held a drug conference with five other schools during which students discussed possible assemblies, anti drug propaganda, drug alternatives, and hotlines. The student council also sponsored blood drives in November and May, where approximately 180 pints of blood were donated. "It makes me feel good to see kids helping others, even if it means going through the pain of a needle," said student council member Melissa Timm '92. National Honor Society members also gave of themselves. Every morning, they made tutoring available to those who were referred by teachers and counselors as needing special help. "At first, it was hard to find time," said Andrea Ellingson '89, "but once we established a workable schedule, the tutoring went really well. It was all worth it when I could see a person really benefiting from my help." (continued on page 120) Service Clubs 119 Continued ELPIN'OU At Christmas, members worked together to make a great holiday for a needy family. They collected donations from students, adults, and local businesses and raised enough to buy food, clothes, and toys for the kids. "I wanted to help out," said Carolyn Widtfeldt '89, NHS member responsible for the idea to adopt a family. "So many of us take everything for granted. We expect our parents to provide for us and we don't think of other less fortunate people. I just thought we could give someone else a nice Christmas for a change." Foreign Exchange Club worked hard at Christmas too, creating Christmas Dance. To develop this year's theme, "Forever Young," members left crayons on the tables for scribbling and . decorated the picture ba~kgrc:..md with wooden blocks and dolls. "What I enjoyed most about decorating was painting the blocks for pictures," said Christy Walter '89. "We came to school dressed in good clothes because no one expected to paint. But by the time we were finished, we were covered with paint from head to toe. The blocks turned out great, though, and the work was KEY CLUB.

"We're so used to doing things by ourselves," said Diana Castillo '89. "Swimming with the handicapped showed us a different side of life." Courtesy Club members spent their time as hostesses at such activities as Fiddler on the Roof, open house, and graduation. "Helping out at school lets me know I'm doing something to help others and shows I have school pride," said Kristi Berwick '89. Astra Club had a booth at Lynx-0- Rama, held retreats in February and May, and helped handicapped kids decorate pumpkins in October for Halloween . "We wanted to do more with the handicapped kids," said Kristie Green '90. "but it was hard to get together with them because they get out at 2:45." No matter how active they were throughout the year, service clubs' efforts resulted in new friendships, feelings of satisfaction, and many enjoyable memories. - Rachelle Hill COURTESY AND ASTRA CLUB.

I r Students attending conferences and conventions reap most trophies ever OING DEC W hen you thought of DECA, you probably said to yourself, "Oh, yeah, those are the kids who get out of school half a day to go to work." But working during school hours wasn't the only thing they did. In fact, a lot of work went on in the Marketing Education class that many didn't know about. In addition to handing in weekly reports on their jobs, students prepared for competitions and conventions from which they brought home an abundance of awards. On Feb. 2, 16 members traveled to Des Moines to compete in the District Leadership Conference, where nine members won awards. Those who placed first were seniors Diana Castillo, Jason Lieber, Stacey Saunders, Lisa Koenig, and Jeff Schwarte. "For my category, general merchandise master employee, we had to take two tests, a written and an oral one," said Jeff Schwa rte '89. 'The judges timed me while I counted items on a rack and took inventory. I was really surprised when I won first place, considering it was my first competition ." At the Iowa State Leadership Conference in Des Moines on Mach 6 and 7, eleven members won three times more awards than any other school and three times more awards than any other DECA group in AL history. " This group did the best of any other group I' ve taken ," said Roger Pearson, DECA sponsor. " They had a person on every stage except one." Fundraisers also proved successful for the chapter. A carnation and teddy bear sale netted $300 and , for the first time, the group sponsored a Halloween dance complete with a Bob for Baby Ruth contest, Al's own Chippendales, and a costume award. "Even though ticket sales were low, we wanted to make the most of the dance," said Kevin Mal ick '89. "I'm pretty sure that everyone who came had a really good time since almost everyone who came won a door prize." Attending various conventions and conferences and planning fundraising activities brought members closer, not only to each other, but also to instructor Roger Pearson . While at the state conference, Pearson was informed by phone that he might lose his job due to district reduction in force policies. Pearson kept the news to himsel f so he wouldn't distract students from competition , but on the first day back, sadness and anger filled the DECA room when Pearson made the announcement. " Everyone had been doing so well this year at all the competitions and conferences. Mr. Pearson even received an award for ten years excellence in DECA, and I think that says a lot for him ," said Jaimee Mi ller '89. " When he told us he might lose his job, si lence swept over us and everyone began crying . He is such a qualified teacher, and I don't see how they could get anyone better for the job." - Heidi Neighbors DECA 123 With service, new experiences, and competition, clubs go beyond the classroom REAKIN'OU A s Jason Johnson '92 walked through the doors of his alma mater, Hoover Elementary, he was bombarded by memories of his years there. This time he was returning as a teacher rather than a student. On Jan. 27, Johnson and fellow Spanish Club members made their way to second grade classrooms to teach eight-year old students fundamentals of Spanish. On their first visit to the second grade rooms, Johnson, Tony Daley '92, Melissa Barrier '92, and Julie Stevens '91, taught the children how to say and write different colors in Spanish. "The kids caught on quickly," said Johnson. "We gave them a worksheet and played games to help them remember the words better." Teaching was also a favorite activity for Barrier. "It felt good to teach others what I know," said Barrier. "I hope we continue this every year. I know it will help children be interested in foreign languages." Spanish Club also collected tabs from pop cans to provide leukemia victims with free chemotherapy treatment. " After we collected one pound of the tabs, we would turn them in," said Krissa Rossbund '92. "It felt really good to know we were helping someone who needed it. Altogether, we collected over ten. pounds of tabs. The bag was so heavy that Mrs . Kermode couldn't even lift it all by herself." While Spanish Club members concentrated on helping others, the other academic club members learned thro ugh unique , personal ex per124 Organizations iences enjoyed outside the classroom. French Club members learned about French culture in a unique, enjoyable way. Like the French in Paris, French club members made eating an experience, not just a meal, when instructor L'louis Bowman introduced the idea of a progressive dinner. On Dec. 5 each part of the meal was served at one of five different houses to show how long a French meal could last. "It was more fun than having another potluck," said Jeremy Wenninghoff '90. "It seemed like a real French meal cause it took us about two hours to finish the whole thing ." While French Club's big event was a five-course meal, German Club's highlight was a humiliating initiation of new members. On Jan. 30, German Club members and first year German students gathered in the cafeteria for the annual initiation party. While members laughed, each initiate was forced to perform activities such as rolling a weeble on the floor with his nose, having baby food fed to him, and drinking water from a baby bottle. "Our initiation seems to be a big hit every year," said Lori French '90. "It really gets everyone involved in German Club and helps to bring in new members.' ' (continued on page 127) GERMAN CLUB.

Continued Although German Club members suffered humiliation, the academic team wasn't embarrassed by its competitive performances. On Apr. 19 at the Knowledge Masters Open, the team pulled out a seventh place finish in tough competition with 170 other schools across the state. "The questions were based on different subjects like math, science, and geography," said John Case '90. "We had to answer 200 questions on a computer. I missed only 15 out of that 200." Another branch of the team called the Future Problem Solvers also competed well and earned a trip to state competition. "We were given .a general problem and asked to find a solution," said Case. "After we had narrowed down 10 possible solutions, we picked the one we thought was the best." This year's problem was how to get teenagers to eat healthy foods deLET'S DANCE!

With the academic team doing so well, Brain Bowl members hoped to do well in their KMA Brain Bowl competition in Shenandoah, but on March 14, the team lost its two-year undefeated title to Atlantic. "The competition was much better than last year," said Abby Wilmarth '89. "The other teams were more prepared for the competition than we were." The biggest problem the team faced was not being fast enough in answering the questions. "Each team is given a toss up question, and the first to answer it is then given a bonus question," said Wilmarth. "The team with the most points at the end of 20 minutes wins the round." Although the team's undefeated title was gone, members' spirits remained high.

''Even though I had met the governor before, I was representing our school and I really wanted to look presentable in front of him, not just like any ordinary high school student," said Kirlin. First impressions were especially important for job interviews. "I went out and bought a new pair of pants, a shirt, and a pair of shoes for my job interview at D rugtown,'' said Melissa Feller '91. "Even though the new outfit probably didn't have that big of an influence on the interviewer, it made me feel much more self-confident, and I did manage to get the job.''

But I guess not everyone would have to take part in it." - Michelle Timm '89 "I don't believe that prayer should be held during school.

I also believe praying is something that people need to do by themselves." - Charity Midkiff '89 "I don't think students should be forced to pray and study religion at school , mainly because there are so many different ways people worship God.

"Had I been old enough to vote, I would have voted for Bush, because I think Dukakis' policies were impossible at best, contradictory, and expensive. I also like the fact that Bush would continue with the Reagan doctrines." Chris Marsh '89 "In the mock election at school, I voted for George Bush ,. mostly because I thought he would carry on with Reagan's economic positions. I think Reagan had us on the biggest economic recovery America had ever been through. I also agreed with Bush's position on the abortion issue." Matt Kelly '89 "If I would have voted, it would have been for Bush becat1se my parent s supported most of his positions, I think that he is who they would have voted for." Michelle Bottrell '89 " I voted for Dukakis because I believe in what he has to say. He believes in a strong national defense without getting totally outrageous, and on the issues of abortion, he is pro-choice."

A year later, George Bush asked in his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination, "Should public school teachers be required to lead children in the Pledge of Allegiance? My opponent says No. I say Yes." From that moment on, the Pledge became a campaign issue. " I don't think students should be forced to do the pledge because if they are, they are more likely to rebel against it. Then it would just become a bigger problem than Seniors MackaPearson it's worth. If students want to do the Pledge, I think they can do it outside of school." - Greg Musgrove '89 "I am all for the Pledge of Allegiance. I think it shows a lot of respect for our country because it is a big part of our government, and that plays a big role in schools." - Tim Herrington '89 "I think doing the Pledge of Allegiance would be all right because it's something we should be doing to be patriotic to our country." - David Nelson '89 PATRIOTS.

In some larger cities, birth control devices were distributed at school to curb teen pregnancy. "I believe it is stupid to distribute birth control unless sex ed. is required. There are things people should realize before getting condoms." Mike Moats '89 "I think distributing birth control is wrong because the church I go to stresses abstinence, and I think giving out contraceptives would be saying it's okay to have sex." "At the other two schools I've been to, sex education was required . It opened the eyes of those who weren't taught by parents. Since kids are sexually active, learning about and having access to birth control would encourage people to use it .• ' Julie Franks '89 "I don't think it's a good idea to distribute contraceptives because more people would play with them than use them ."

Judy Richardson '90, and her friends had cars in their driveways but no money in their pockets. Without money, some students found it impossible to have an enjoyable night out, but others, like Richardson, preferred to put their imaginations to use. "I always get a bunch of my friends and try to think of original things to do," said Richardson. "Once we went to the Old Market and Central Park Mall.

"Sometimes I go to my girlfriend ' s house and we play penny-ante poker," said Sean Cihacek '90. "Even when I lose, I don't spend much money playing." Many students preferred to just sit and talk with friends. "When we feel like being laid back, about five of us find somewhere to go and talk, like a restaurant," said Dorrie Miller '90. "We sit around and say anything that comes to our minds, from the latest gossip to a talk show we saw last night." When couples found finances low, they often resorted to VCR movies and a quiet night in the family room . "My boyfriend and I like to doubledate, but sometimes we're short on funds," said Stacy Spidell '90, "so we go to someone's house and watch movies until three in the morning.

From shopping at Goodwill to making their own , students found neat clothes without paying department store prices. Some found shopping at Goodwill well worth their while.

"I don't like to spend a lot of money on clothes that I'm not crazy about," said Lisa Hough '90. " If I have my mom make my skirts, shorts, and shirts, I spend half as much and I get the exact color, fabric, and size I want." Although some students simply enjoyed making clothes or finding bargains, others just couldn't afford expensive clothes. "I don 't have the money to spend $50 on a pair of jeans," said Becky Baumker '90. " With my mom working part time, after paying for necessities, there's not much left for clothes, so most of the time I shop at Goodwill or look through ads ." Whatever the reason, most students said they loved a purchase more if they got it for less . - Teresa Spencer BOXING COMPETITION.

"My boyfriend paid for a date once," said Melanie Freed '91 . "Even then, all we did was just go to the movies, and he didn't even buy anything to eat or drink. The rest of the times we went out, we went dutch." Guys gave different reasons for not wanting to spend a lot of money on dates . "I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money on a girl," said one junior boy, "because in most cases couples just break up anyway, and then you've just wasted all that money with nothing to show for it. I never bought my girlfriend anything. One time I found a ring on a bus and gave it to her, but she didn 't know I found it." Some guys couldn't afford to spend a lot of money on dates because of oth er responsibilities. "I never spend very much money on dates," said John Pierson '90. "I have to spend just about all of my money on expensive repairs for my car." Whatever the reasons guys gave for not wanting to spend a lot of money, most girls complained that some guys were just too cheap. - Teresa Spencer Cheap Skates 147 Kristie Skow Kevin Slavin Amy Smith Jonas Smith Robert Smith Terri Smock Jeremy Smothers Dan Snipes Dave Snyder Chris Sorensen Kevin Spalti Melissa Spencer Teresa Spencer Stacy Spidell Sean Standard Scott Stephens Nick Stom Keri Suden Mike Swanson Mark Tanner Cathy Thompson Terry Thompson Tammy Thoren Sara Timmons Stephanie Townsend Lisa Ulrich Kara Vergamini Elizabeth Villarreal Scott Volff Keith Voss Kevin Vredeveld Amy Watson Traci Watson Kristy Wedel Fred Welch Jason Welsh Jeremy Wenninghoff Tony Wesolowski Kathy Westphal Joel Whitman - TRICKS s a white rat scurried across the room, shrieks and laugtiter resounded throughout the class.

Only this time, skipping meant mastering the skill of sneaking to your car whenever school became too hard to handle. Eighty-four percent of students polled said they had skipped a class sometime during high school. Most said they just walked out of the building during passing periods. Burger King and 7- Eleven were popular skipping spots. "I just keep thinking about an egg and cheese bagel," said one sophomore girl. "The next thing I know I'm on my way to get one." Some said they took risks skipping classes in which they Candy Acox Ben Alba Vickie Ambrose Chris Andersen Joel Anderson Matt Anderson Tim Anderson Heather Archibald Sheila Armstrong Jason Arnold Rebecca Arrick Brian Auxier Maggie Bailey Chevon Baker BJ Barton Kim Bass Brittney Baumgardner Jeff Beckman Russel Borwick Stephanie Bowman Jason Brink Corey Brown Shane Buckles Brad Burke Chris Burke Jason Burkum Elliott Butler Jason Cannon Kris Capel Amy Carl in Roberta Carman Sarah Chambers GUILT TRIPS knew the teacher would follow up on their absence. "One of my friends and I decided to go pick up our paychecks instead of going to seventh hour," said one sophomore boy. "Well,' that night Mrs. Bowman came into my work. Right when I saw her, I knew I was a dead man. The next day I got a referral and had to spend a day in inhouse. That was really stupid of me." Whenever students got caught skipping, they faced either in-house or detent~on, unless they were able to lie their way out of it. "It's kind-of easy to get out of an in-house," said one senior girl. "All I do is say that I came in late and the teacher must have missed me." - Stephanie Foss 150 Sophomore Acox-Fox - - 84% have skipped 57% were caught 46% were punished DON'T MESS WITH ME, BOYS.

In a poll of 200 students, 190 admitted to cheating on a major exam. Out of those 190, only 78 had been caught. "I cheat on about every test I take," said one sophomore boy. "I usually do it by copying someone else's paper. If I didn't cheat , I probably wouldn't pass any classes." Even though most students said they_ cheated on a regular basis, some said they only cheated as a last resort. " I try not to cheat unless I absolutely have too," said one sophomore girl. " Sometimes ,when I'm super busy with my extracurricular activities and I don't have time to study I write the answers I can't remember on a little sheet of paper. Then when the teacher isn't looking, I take it out of my pocket and fill in the answers I still need. It usually works pretty good, but I always feel guilty about it late~." Although most students got away with cheating, some unfortunate students got caught and had to suffer the consequences. "One time I wrote the answers on my hand," said one junior boy." I didn't get caught until I went to turn in my test. The teacher noticed the answers on my hand when I handed it to her. She was so mad, she ripped it up and gave me a big, fat zero." - Terri Smock NO CHEATING HERE. To prevent cheating, instructor Geri Livermore walks through the aisles during an English final.

"I know that everyone complains that the bathrooms smell like smoke," said one sophomore girl, "but if they knew what it was like to be addicted, they wouldn't complain as much." In a poll of 200 students, 72 said they had smoked in bathroom. Of those, 24 said they had been caught and punished. The usual punishment for those students caught smoking in the bathroom was one day in-school suspension. "I've been busted for smoking in the b athroom three times this year," said one senior boy, "and every time, I've gotten an in-house. I hate having in-house, but I can't make it through the day without a cigarette." Many non-smokers avoided the restrooms. "I try not to use the bathrooms unless I absolutely have to," said one junior girl. "If I do have to go, I use the ones by the office. They don't smell as bad." Most students and teachers felt the building should be smokeless, but smokers disagreed. "I don't know why they just don't designate a place where we could all go and smoke," said one sophomore boy. "If everyone, including teachers, smoked in the same place, it would solve the problem." Even though smokers knew how non -smokers felt, the constant battle between the two would probably continue. - Terri Smock .c:::::~14 O/o were caught 200 students polled 12°/o were punished 36% have smoked Smoking 155 Michelle Price Shyla Putnam Pauli Ranslem Amy Ray Doug Reed Tony Reed Shawn Reisz Jorgeen Richardson Nikki Richardson Sarah Richey Michelle Rief Angie Riggs Stacy Roblicheau Frances Salvidar Michelle Sandberg Steve Sausedo Joe Schab Teena Schultz Eric Shamblen Dana Sharp Molly Shea Tammy Sheridan Jason C.

"The girl I fought was always bugging me," said Tuesday Edenburn '91. ''When she finally started the fight, I had to fight back." Whether students picked the fight or just defended themselves, they received a three day suspension.

Penny Jones '92 "I really wanted to go to France last summer with my French class but because my parents are divorced, I had to stay with my dad in California during the summer so I couldn't go.

It seemed like the whole cafeteria was looking at me." - Jennie Wheeldon '92 " It was the first day of school and the bathroom doors weren't marked, so I just walked into one. As soon as I got in , I saw a group of guys smoking, so I turned around and ran out. I don 't think anyone saw me, but my face was beet red." - Tori Christie '92 "I was standing at my friend's locker telling him how I let a rat go in Mr. Klepper' s class and one of my teachers was listening from across the hall. My friend started laughing and I couldn 't figure out why until I turned around and saw the teacher standing behind me. I tried to tell her that I wasn 't the one who did it. She didn't believe me. Everyone around us started laughing at me because I was trying to lie my way out of it when she heard the whole thing ." - Mike Woicke '92 " One day during seventh hour, Coco Fossland and I were messing around. She kicked me lightly on the chin , so I yanked up on her desk. Well , when I did, the desk broke. All of the screws came out and the whole top came off. Everyone just died laughing because the teacher didn 't even notice." - Jim Lundvall '92 "At the beginning of the year, I didn't know where they sold the milk. I asked everyone where they sold it, but nobody would tell me. I think I walked around the lunchroom for 15 minutes before I found it. I felt like such an idiot." - Curt Kenoyer '92 CENTER OF ATTENTION.

I Drastic dating differ enc es Asking for kiss, paying $1 for movie part of dating in past Picture instructor Don Scheibeler more than 30 years ago asking a girl out to a movie. He picks her up, and they walk to a theater, where the cost for two is just $1 . Afterwards , they return to her house, where Sch eibeler asks her permission for a kiss, and they call it a night. Wa lking to a theater, paying a $1 for a movie, and asking a girl for a kiss are a few examples of how the teachers' social lives as teenagers differed from teens' socia l lives today. For many teachers, like instructor Deb Tettenborn, who grad uated in 1970, social funct ions centered around school. " With only 19 in my class and about 100 in high school, we all participated in everything," Tettenborn said. "I belonged to every organization, played the only girls' sport, went to every game, and didn't get home until 9 p.m. every night from some kind of practice." School was also the center of instructor Bob Pettepier's social life. "Since we mainly went to athletic events," said Pettepier, " there were no parties, and less than 5 percent of the student body drank alcohol." Although many students took cars for granted, several teachers said cars were unheard of when they grew up. Nine out of 17 teachers didn't have cars . " I grew up in San Francisco, and no one 166 Teachers Allen-Grandick had cars," said instructor Linda Smoley. "Everyone took the bus . The only time I had a car date was prom ." Lack of cars also affected dating. "Not having cars made it a lot harder to get involved sexually ," said Smoley . "When you had to take the bus, there wasn't much chance for privacy." Most teachers agreed that there has been a big change in social lives now from when they went to school. ~ Teresa Spencer MMMMMM, GOOD.

I Jockettes in short supply With few girls' teams, less variety, teachers say sports less important Standing 4'9", instructor Christine Wahl's basketball career was shot down in its prime since her high school was among many which offered no girls' basketball. Even though Wahl would probably not have become a basketball star, like many other teachers, Wahl said there were simply no official girls sports offered in her school, and boys' sports lacked variety. "Football, basketball, and track were the only boys' sports," said instructor Lee Spann of his high school. "There were no girls sports at all."

Physical Education sports were limited to tennis, golf, and gymnastics. Athletic facilities were also not as good when teachers went to high school. "I ran track," said instructor David Tobias. "The tracks were mostly dirt or cinders, and all the fielding events were done in sawdust." Although most teachers said that sports were limited, one teacher said that sports were very important. "I went to school in a small town, and everyone went to games, including relatives," said instructor Wayne Norman. "It's hard for me to understand empty seats at games because when I went to school, one could get a seat only if they 168 Teachers Hall-Rodriguez came early." Most teachers, though, said that in their high school days, athletics, in general, didn't have the emphasis that they do today. "I went to school in Auburn, Nebraska, and it wasn't 'cool' to be involved in sports," said instructor Barbara Kermoade. "Now I wish I had been more involved in sports because it really helps keep students healthier." - Teresa Spencer "WOULD YOU LIKE TO CUT THE CAKE?" asks Teena Schultz as she hands a knife to Coach Mike Batten.

I No monkey business Hard teachers, strict guidelines make yesterday's schools serious I magine going to register for next year's classes and finding that journalism, debate, DECA, all AP classes, and foreign languages had been eliminated from the curriculum. If you were suddenly transported into the time when some teachers went to school, this would be the case. Most teachers said that many aspects of academics have changed drastically from when they went to school. Seven out of 12 teachers said the biggest difference was that only basic classes were offered when they grew up as opposed to the many special classes offered today. "The only electives were home economics and shop," said guidance counselor Dick Reeves. However, for instructor Donald Scheibeler, the role of teachers hc,s been the biggest change since he went to school. "The teacher's only job was to teach students," Scheibeler said, "not to babysit, counsel, pal-around-with, or give advice." Since the teacher was more of an authority figure and not a "friend," attendance and discipline were much stricter in the teachers' high school days. "There were strict guidelines to follow, and there were no excuses," said instructor Dennis Koch. "The paddle was used to settle behavior problems both at school and at home." Five out of 12 teachers said that another major change was that homework was taken a lot more seriously by stu170 Teachers Ryan-Ziebarth dents. "Everyone did their homework without thinking twice about it because it was just expected to be done," said instructor Mary Gepner. "Since everyone did their homework, it would have been really embarrassing to be called on in class and not know the answer because you weren't prepared." Most teachers agreed that academics have had major changes since they went to school. ~ Teresa Spencer LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION.

"Since I like to shop a lot," said Cande Brown '90, "having the new addition to the mall is a big plus for me. Now I can find almost everything I need either here or in Omaha." But some students put shopping on hold to volunteer at several community facilities, including Children's Square and Jennie Edmundson Hospital. "Even though you don't get paid for the work, it is so rewarding to be helping others,'' said Brittney Baumgardner '91. "You get to meet so many people, it's more than just work.'' Seventy-two students were honored by the Volunteer Bureau for their community involvement. David Nelson '89, worked at the Crescent Fire Department for six months. ''My neighbor was working there and told me a lot about it,'' said Nelson. ''I was really interested, so I started going to meetings. Before too long, I was going to training classes, and now whenever I get called in, I assist with emergencies.'' Other students spent their time working with children at the Orpheum theater, the YMCA, and local schools. Ericka Wellman '91, volunteered at the Y as a volleyball coach for a fifth and sixth grade team. "I knew someone who had wanted to coach but didn't know much about the game. Since I played volleyball, I decided to help," Wellman said. "It was really great working with the. kids and teaching them the skills." As we enjoyed our up and coming town and gave back to it as volunteers, we found there was never a lack of places to go. - Heidi Neighbors Ads Division f ' SERVICE PROJECT.

The daily routine of classes may have come to a halt, but most of us found we still had to get up early, dress for the day, and get going. As track members returned from State to hand in their uniforms, yearbook staffers had to keep wearing theirs. Each morning they were at school by eight wearing their lightest, most comfortable clothes for a day of printing photos, finalizing layouts, and correcting copy in the sweltering heat of the building. On the last day of school, 16 French students left the building to begin three days of packing suitcases, getting travelers' checks, and cramming in every possible moment with their friends before leaving for a month-long stay in France. ''I was so nervous about the trip that I was sick to my stomach,'' said Barb Roth '90. ''I could hardly sleep the night before and I was so scared that my mom had to help me pack my suitcase.'' Graduated seniors did plenty of packing, too, before travelling to orientations at colleges all over the Midwest. But seniors on the baseball and softball teams found that they had little time for anything but practicing and playing, as they endured more than 20 games within the first two weeks of summer. "It seemed like all we were doing was changing our clothes," said Ian Mass '89. "We changed from our street clothes to practice clothes to uniforms almost everyday.'' Most of us expected summer to be filled with sleeping until noon, sun bathing, and swimming, but much to our surprise, we found ourselves getting up early, dressing for the occasion, and going wherever our busy lives took us. - Heidi Neighbors 206 Closing " WE ARE OUTTA HERE!"

After students and teachers groaned last year that having homeroom twice a week was twice too often, Principal Fred Frick took a risk by changing homeroom to an everyday, 26- minute event. Although some groaned even louder, many found the new activity period productive. •'Homeroom is a great time for me to get interviews done for newspaper," said Dave Snyder '90. Hoping to do students a favor, the administration ordered a new single locker for every student. But the favor turned into a nightmare for many students who had to lug 20-pound backpacks around due to late installatio~ "It was a pain waiting for the new lockers," said Amanda M''J,l· er '92. "I had so many b~s had to keep them in my h'omeroom." A small committee of faon:lt members proposed a revoluti nary play to keep potential dro,pouts in school.

For the first time ever, males joined cheerleading squads. "The guys really helped a lot at camp," said Michelle McEvoy '90. "We got a lot of recognition because we learned so many neat stunts."

Though many of us considered summer a break from learning, others looked forward to continuing their education on the move. In June, 18 French stud~nts flew to France to experience the culture firsthand . "You kind of catch on to things just by watching," said Stephanie Bowman '91. "If you're standing in the street staring at a map and looking confused, the French will come up to you and help you out." Traveling from the Riviera to Paris the students faced challenges in ' everyday routines. At one meal, Bowman's host family served her raw sausage, ~ndercooked quiche, and an ommouslooking cherry pie. "I bit into the pie and discovered the cherries had pits in them. I was so embarrassed to spit them out," said Bowman.

"I took lessons from a professional sax player, Bob Mintzer, who is probably as hot as Kenny G . and plays like David Sanborn," said Andy Caputo '90, who attended a jazz camp in Emporia, KS, on a scholarship. "It was a thrill listening to him, and having him help me with my trombone." While Caputo received private instruction over the summer, other performers traveled in large groups to workshops. The porn pon squad went to Lake Okoboji, where the girls set goals to learn new dances, techniques, and cheers. "At the beginning of the week, our instructor gave us a recipe card on which we wrote what we wanted to accomplish," said Melissa Timm '92. "Our main goal was to learn to work as a group. As we reread the card, it helped us focus in on what we were doing right and what we still needed to improve."

"It was difficult to change my grip after so many years, but now that my serve is better, the hard work paid off." With the crunch of fallen leaves beneath our feet and new notebooks in our hands, we welcomed autumn. Many of us saw it as the end of carefree summer days, while others saw it as an opportunity to use the knowledge we had learned far from home. -Ricco Siasoco BLUE RIBBON BEAUTIES Proud of the individual awards they won at porn pon camp, Melissa Winn, Peggy Murray, and Pauli Ranslem celebrate at Lake Okoboji in June.

It became obvious that anything could happen during this Homecoming. - The four dress up days, which centered around the theme, Let The Good .

"They were always tangling the hairs on my legs, and something about them made me feel 30 degrees colder." Woodstock Day seemed to be the favorite among students. They tore into their parents' closets, discovered the most disgusting fashion combinations, and realized with horror that their now conservative parents actually once wore those atrocities in public. "The clothes were the best part," said Kari Hannan '90. "Wearing them gave me an attitude, a laidback, I-don't-care kind of attitude. It was really weird how those clothes changed the way I felt." Students acted out the way they felt by holding a group sit-in during second lunch. While student council members sold dance tickets, a group of hippies sat in a circle, sang sixties tunes, and played their guitars. "It almost looked like a blast from the past," said Tonja Meeker '92. "It was like what I had heard. It seemed like everyone was on the same wave length." The school week ended with Spirit Day, which gave students a chance to dress in their favorite red and blue outfits, paint their faces, and show school spirit all day and all night long. After school Friday, the traditional car rally was followed for the first time ever by six matches of tug-of· war and a marshmallow eating contest.

"I was skeptical about how it was going to turn out," said Dan Pertzborn '93, the artist. "When I found out we won, I felt great." When Homecoming rolled around, students built floats on toy wagons.

In the final contest, students worked to create a holiday atmosphere in homeroom. Instructor Arlan Johnson's senior homeroom won the contest after they transformed their room into a unique version of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. Despite the fun and competition fostered by these spirit a ctivities, homeroom usually provided nothing more than a time to sleep, roam, and chat.

Boone found the undergarment confusing, but reluctantly, he picked it up. "I had to ask how to put it on," said Boone, "and I didn't know how much toilet paper to stuff it with. I was embarrassed because my mom was going to see me in it." Boone, who dressed as a wicked stepsister in Cinderella, was only one of many drama students who showed more than a little nerve during an outstanding season of student-produced plays and abundant talent. In November, the department presented Cinderella under the stage direction of Kim Will '90, with technical direction by Tony Wesolowski '90. Wesolowski completely designed the set, utilizing $400 worth of lumber, I 0 gallons of paint, 40 pounds of screws, and 2 canisters of glitter. "It was a challenge to design the set for Cinderella," said Wesolowski. "It looked good on paper, although I • • v • E wasn't sure what the end product would look like. I was in awe of how it actually turned out." Just four weeks after Cinderella, many of the same performers struggled to produce the comedy Barefoot in the Park, directed by Ricco Siasoco '90. "The short rehearsal time put pressure on the individual," said Tracy Kesterson '90, "but we set personal goals for blocking and memorizing lines, and everyone lived up to their part." The story of a yuppie newlywed couple dealing with in-laws, crazy neighbors, and flying hors d'ouerves was presented in December. Two months later, directors Stephen Brockway and Lee Spann took even bigger risks to involve as much talent as possible in The Sound of Music. When a record 70 students and children auditioned, every student was given a part, with six major roles double and triple-cast, and two extra roles created for children. To fix the radiator, Mr. Velasco (Nathan Klaus) gives his neighbor (Kari Hannan) a little boost in Barefoot in the Park. The comedy, directed by Ricco Siasoco, was presented Dec. 7, 8, and 9. (Photo by Glenn Hovinga) For Jason Burkum '91, who portrayed Captain Von Trapp, rehearsing with the three actresses who played Maria sometimes became confusing. " It was hard because they each interpreted the part differently," said Burkum. " I had to adapt to each person, but it gave me lots of practice. Every time they rehearsed once, I practiced three times." The talented youngsters who played the Von Trapp children proved they could be as gutsy as their older counterparts. "On opening night, I was running around a nervous wreck," said Tena Nelson '90. "I scooped up 6-year-old Elizabeth Brockway in my arms, and she told me it was silly to be nervous, because she never was." Student directors, technicians, and performers showed more than just a little nerve to produce an outstanding season. -Ricco Siasoco Exhausted after climbing six flights of stairs Paul Bratter (Eric Wyant) and his mother-in~ law, Mrs. Banks, (Tena Nelson) collapse in exhaustion during a scene from Barefoot in the Park on Dec. 7 (Photo by Glenn Hovineal Drama 19 . . .-· · ... · ..~~ . . ... ,, ..... - Handling • the • holiday H·U· ·T·L·E Despite cancellations, s.tudents eqjoy a spirited Christmas · . : A fternoon announcements droned on as students slumped over in their chairs, waiting for the 3:05 bell.

"We end up constantly eating but not really paying attention to what or how much." For some, eating a certain food became more of a habit.

Those with a spirit of daring and adventure also enjoyed teepeeing expeditions. "I like teepeeing because of the risk of getting caught or busted by the cops," said Todd Cover '92. Although most parties lacked the excitement of a teepeeing escapade, a night in the cemetery, or a stroll on a catwalk, they remained the main attraction of nightlife.

The band's Jail-n-Bail booth, which charged three tickets for arrest warrants, was the most popular booth at the annual Lynx-0-Rama carnival. Along with the carnival, volleyball matches, a celebrity basketball game, and a silent auction helped make the Lynx-0-Rama a success. Held Jan. 18, 19, and 20, the Lynx-0-Rama, sponsored by the booster club, earned $7,700, exceeding °last year's total by $I , 700. Twenty-three game booths in the small gym contributed $2,400 to the total. Games varied from Squirt 'em, where contestants had to shoot down cups with a water gun and then shoot the hat off a dunce, to the Chapel of Love, where couples could get married, complete with plastic rings. Barb Roth '90, "married" Chris Andersen '91, in the Chapel of Love. "We hadn't really planned on this marriage," said Roth. "That's why the rings were a tad too small, and the veil really didn't fit either." While carnival festivities took place in the small gym, volleyball matches and a faculty /celebrity basketball game in the fieldhouse raised $315. Graduates from the '79's and '80's, and current varsity players each formed a team to compete in round-robin volleyball tournaments. The '80's team beat the '70's team 2- 0 and went on to challenge the '90 team. "We had a blast playing," said Angi Riggs '91. "We had to prove that we were better than them, and that they didn't lose just because they were old. We proved it by beating them 2-0." Age wasn't the difference between success and. failure, but when faculty members displayed their abilities in a basketball game against local celebrities, most students said the age of the competitors made the game more fun to watch. "It wasn't every day that you got to see teachers running around in shorts and T-shirts," said Melissa Feller '91. "Mr. Messerli especially struck me as funny because I wa ~sed to seeing him wearing suits an~ ties." So once again, fun and games made the annual Lynx-0-Rama a success. CEASE FIRE!

"I don't know what I'd do without my family, they mean so much to me," said Debbie Over '90. "I work a lot everyday, so with that, school, cheerleading, and my friends, it's hard to spend quality time with my family, yet I try to do things with them whenever I can because truthfully, they're my real role models." Of 77 students polled, 58 said their relationship with their parents was close or very close, and only 5 said it was distant. Many said mothers were like close friends. "When my parents got a divorce, my mother had to take my father's place when I needed her most," said Jennica Munch '92. "I felt like I could ask or tell her anything and get a straight answer. That's when I felt she was more of a friend. Yet, I always knew the mother was inside her, and that's important." According to those polled, siblings, too, leaned on one another for friendship and support, with 53 saying they were close or very close to their siblings. "This year would've been so much harder if I hadn't had an older sister," said Dan Paulson '93. "Being a freshman is hard. Luckily, I knew her friends and she kind of set a path for me with teachers. She helped in making my year more relaxed." (continued on page 35) STUDY BUDDIES Going over the day's homework, Kim and Misty Moore receive a little help from their mother, Carol, in their home.

"My entire outfit, which I got from Oaktree, cost $237, but it was totally worth it," said Gustin. "It took me nearly an hour to get ready, because I wanted everyone to look at me and say, 'Man, Wade sure knows how to dress.' I wanted them to be flabbergasted." While Gustin had carefully planned to surprise his friends, others made prom plans and then encountered surprises. All in all, prom was a special night on which plans grew into a reality that was peppered with surprise.

(Photo by Kathy Westphal) 36 Student Life planned at least a month in advance for this special evening. For most, the plan included saving as much money as possible. "I tried to work a lot of hours and then save practically all my money for dinner, the limo, and dancing at the Metro afterwards," said Casey Bliven '90. "It seemed like I worked twice as hard for that one night of fun, and then I was totally broke." While prom-goers hunted for just the right clothes to wear and enough money to spend, the prom committee looked through dozens of magazines and books for the perfect theme. Finally, the group selected "Sea of Love." The decorations included a painting by Tom McGuire '90, which would serve as the background for pictures. The 7 x 7 foot painting showed a shining moon reflecting off of a body of water. "Painting the background took me eight hours in three days," said McGuire. "It gave me a chance to show everyone what I could do. I was proud of it." Planners also spent nearly three weeks coming up with unique costumes for sophomore greeters and servers to wear. As a result of the brainstorm, couples were surprised at the door by a mermaid, shark, and a huge red lobster. "Molly (Spann) had asked me to be a sea creature, so I chose a lobster," said Jennie Wheeldon '92. "It was extremely hot in there, but I knew being a lobster would be the most fun. I stood behind Bob Pyles and forced smiles out of all the people getting their pictures taken. If I would've chosen a scuba diver, a shark, or a mermaid, I doubt I would've had as much fun. The lobster just seemed to be me." No matter how much planning went into prom night, the evening turned out to be one of surprises for many people.

With that, shouts and whistles of pride filled the room until James Taylor's song, "You've Got A Friend" began to play. As watery eyed seniors listened to the song, they put their arms around each other and swayed and clapped to the beat of the music. Suddenly, the music faded, and it was time to march.

Kathy Westphal '90, evoked laughter when she said, "after being here for four years, we have finally mastered the skill of dodging fashion conscious parking lot attendants." Ricco Siasoco '90, instilled pride in the graduates when he reminded them of all they had accomplished and said, "keep dreaming, keep reaching, keep becoming because as our motto states, 'we are the movers and the shakers of the world forever.'" And Hannan saddened graduates when she reminded them of the tough times they had overcome, including the deaths of classmates Randy Geoser, Michael Stone, and Lonnie Greiner. Finally, it was time for the Class of 1990 to come forward one by one to receive their diplomas. Most graduates accepted their diploma with decorum, but a few found it impossible to hold their emotions in check. Seniors Tim Hawkins, Rob Heitman, and Jim Bever drew laughter and applause when they threw their arms into the air, hollering in congratulations to themselves. As the last graduate received his diploma, a beach ball came flying through the air, followed by stream after stream of party string swirling throughout the gym. Frisbees and superballs suddenly appeared from under gowns and flew above the graduates' head. Covered with party string from head to toe, graduates marched out of the fieldhouse, laughing, hooting, hugging, and weeping, realizing that they had just created a never-to-be forgotten commencement. -Terri Smock ALMOST READY At the last minute, secretary Bev McCumber holds up a new gown as Margaret King slides her arms in.

Tyrants tumble from power A s midnight drew near on Nov. 9, 1989, hundreds of thousands of East and West Germa ns lined both sides of the infamous Berlin Wall. History was about to be made. The 28 mile-long wall that had symbolized political oppression in East Germany for 28 years was about to " come down." At precisely midnight, all the gates and checkpoints along the wall were thrown open, and thousands of East Germans rushed into the waiting arms of West Germany. Within 48 hours of opening the wall, more than two million East Germans had crossed onto democratic soil. This specta cular freedomgranting event was the final result of many protests and demonstrations for democracy. East Germany had, at long last, overthrown the communist rule which had lasted three decades. East Germany's Cabinet and Communist Party Politburo resigned, leaving in their place the promise of democratic elections, a freedom East Germans had thought was unobtainable. "I never thought I'd see free- <lorn in East Germany, or in any other country ever suppressed by communism," said Tony Fox '91. Romanians, too, began to protest communist rule. Bitter street fights followed the slaughter of innocent people in Timisoara, and finally, dictator Nicolae Ceausecu was overthrown and shot by members of his once loyal army. Poland and Czechoslovakia also bid farewell to communist dominance in the last months of 1989. In Poland, approximately I 0,000 workers went on strike, threatening the country with economic instability if their demands for free elections were not met. Though discussions failed to settle differences between the Polish people and their government, government leaders began to realize that granting democracy was their only choice. Similarly, half a million Czechoslovakians gathered in Prague to protest communist rule. Finally, the Communist Party was forced to resign, and Czechoslovakia was added to the ever-growing list of countries that had fought for and won their freedom. At the same time in a different hemisphere, Panama was undergoing rapid political change. In January, U.S. troops invaded Panama in an effort to capture dictator Manuel Noriega on charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and protecting a drug cartel. As Noriega went into hiding, elected officials seized power and instituted democracy. After several days, Noriega surrendered to U.S. forces and was brought back to Florida to face criminal charges. Within eight weeks, the inextinguishable flame of freedom had melted the chains of communism and oppression in countries around the world. "I think this freedom revolution says a lot about the world," said Coco Fossland '92. "Communism will crumble just like the Berlin Wall." -Melissa Feller THEY ALL FALL DOWN.

First it was announced that Assistant Principal Ron Diimig would be leaving to become supervisor of student services at Central Office. Then, a month later, Principal Fred Frick announced he would become a superintendent in Holmen, WI. Many teachers felt Frick had helped AL grow during his five years as principal and were sorry to see him go. "Dr. Frick has helped AL move forward, creating a building in which teachers have input in the decisions made," said Patty Ford, home economics instructor. Although Diimig was only moving across town, his new job would involve new responsibilities such as dealing with district attendance and discipline policies and at-risk students. Diimig would also be in charge of over I 00 special education classes with more than 1000 students. "Special education teachers are not as actively involved in staff development as other teachers," said Diimig. "I hope to increase the leadership roles." Teachers and students said Diimig would also be missed for his caring and supportiveness. "Mr. Diimig cares about us," said Jennifer Sherman '90. "One time I came to him with a probA NOTE OF THANKS.

According to Assistant Principal Ron Diimig, two tow trucks were called by a substitute parking attendant from Guardsmen Security without the consent of the administration, to remove illegally parked cars from the lot. When the tow trucks arrived, students who saw what was going on went to the parking lot to move their cars or to prevent them from being towed. "I was in homeroom when I heard the commotion," said Cory Kerns '90. "When I went to the parking lot, they were trying to tow my friend's car away, so some of my fri ends and I jumped on the hood of the car. They told us to get off, but we said no." Diimig said the fact that students refused to move from the cars when ordered to by the police and administrators was one reason for the 28 three-day suspensions that were issued. Kerns, who was one of the 28 students suspended, said he didn't deserve to be suspended because not everyone who was in the parking lot at the time was suspended and every student should have the right to use the parking lot, regardless of whether or not they purchase a parking sticker. Others sided with the administration, saying that it was the students' responsibility to follow the parking lot rules and to accept the consequences if they choose not to. "If you were to park on any city street, you'd have to put money in a parking meter, and if you didn't, you would get a ticket and possibly towed away," said Gina Miller '92. "Well, this is the same situation.

" I had heard about AIDS from a lot of different places, but we had never talked about it at school. I thought it was really important for the students who didn't know about AIDS to get informed. I wanted to make them see that AIDS is out there, and I wanted to scare them into protecting themselves." Franks wanted more to educate students than to scare them. "I want kids to be aware of the fact that AIDS is not a segregated disease and because it's not, it is more important than ever today to protect ourselves, " said Franks. She emphasized this point by telling her own tragic story about how she contracted AIDS almost ten years ago through emergency blood transfusions during her son's cesarean birth. Although some students still felt AIDS wasn't a disease that could affect them, most admitted that aftet hearing Franks's story, they felt threatened by the disease. One of the scariest facts was stated during the freshmen assemGETTING THE FACTS. At Health Fair '90, which was held in the gym a nd sponsored by the P.E. department, Amy Meyers takes Penny Franks' advice and gets information about AIDS. (Photo by Stacy Robicheau) bly, when Pat Hancock, a counselor from the Nebraska Aids Project, who escorted Franks, said he had already worked with three AL graduates who had been diagnosed with AIDS. It's scary to think someone in this school could have AIDS," said Deborah Hogan '91. "We take our health for granted. Most of us just assume we don't have it or won't get it, so we tend to be more careless than we should be. I think that seeing someone who led a perfectly normal life standing before us claiming to have AIDS has made people realize that it can happen to anyone." Some felt this realization made people think twice about unsafe sex and even change their sexual behavior. "I think Franks's story made people consider using condoms or not having sex at all because of the threat of AIDS," said Melissa Timm '92. Still others said that even after hearing Franks's story, they had no reason to worry about AIDS. "I don't worry about getting AIDS," said Amy Negrete '92, " because I know I would never have sex with someone unless I knew them and what kind of person they were very, very well." No matter how students planned to protect themselves from AIDS, most agreed that AIDS was a threat they needed to be awa re of, and they were grateful to Franks for sharing her story. " I have a lot of respect for Ms. Franks because it really took a lot of courage to stand in front of a group of teenagers and talk about her problem for our benefit," said Nate Whitaker '93 . Franks felt that visiting high schools was the best way to educate teenagers. "If I can make just one person realize the seriousness of AIDS and protect themselves from it," sa id Franks, " all my efforts will be worthwhile." -Melody Barajas Mini Gazette 45 46 • • • u on a 0 nee upon a time, students sat passively in. their seats taking notes while teachers stood before them spouting facts. In 1990, students became active participants in learning. Through a technique called the Utah Plan, teachers followed carefully outlined procedures to get at least 12 student responses every 60 seconds. "I space off lectures, but this method forces me to participate," said Mindy Patten '93. "It is a change of pace." Once upon a time, it was acceptable to learn a body of information to pass a course, but as the information known to man began to double every eighteen months, students had to learn to find and manage information. To help them, teachers attended biweekly in-services on how to teach thinking skills. Once upon a time, computer training consisted of keyboardAcademic Division ing, but in 1989, students performed complicated tasks on screen. Student journalists created the newspaper on computer and economics students ran fac~ tori es. Three of these students won first place in an economic simulation at Creighton. "We were pleased to place at all," said Brian Swartz '91, "and we were the first public school ever to win the whole competi- tion." Once upon a time, students worked individually on assignments, but as business people told schools that workers rarely ?olve pr~blems alone, cooperative learnmg became important. Little revolutions occurred throughout the building as teachers and students replaced once-upon-a-time behaviors with new ways of teaching and learnmg. -Ericka Wellman R OMEO! ROMEO!

These activities wouldn't have been possible without a $50,000 grant, which provided for 16 IBM model 25's, three model 30's, a main file server and a CD Rom player, all to be used by science, social studies, English, and math departments. In the social studies department, economics students used computers to learn how businesses are run efficiently. "We had to pick what type of business we wanted to run," said Ronda Larson '90. "Then we pressed a bunch of buttons to decide how much we wanted in sales and our goal in profits." In the language arts department, instructor Chris Wahl used a program called Writer's Helper II to help students get in touch with their thoughts. The program included three basic steps. The first, " Finding," helped the student find possible topics. The second, "Explore," analyzed different ways of writing. The third, "Organization," helped the student arrange material coherently. In the math department, instructor Ruth Brown's trigonometry classes worked with trig functions on the Apple comRuters. "The functions were shown on the screen, and we had to guess what particular function each was," said Shyla Putnam '91. "There were six levels of difficulty, and it took me a long time to get to the last level, but I felt a sense of accomplishment when I did, and it was more fun than just regular classwork." As computers, related hardware, and an ever growing stock of software became more and more accessible, students grew in their ability to acquire and manage information through technology.

French instructor L'Louise Bowman used techniques she picked up in a seminar last year to break away from traditional textbook learning and teaching. On weekly music days, Bowman passed out French lyrics, read them aloud, translated them, a nd played tapes of them, while students struggled to keep up and sing along. "I picked up some great modern French ta pes last summer in France. They were mainly for myself, but I needed them for music day a lso," said Bowman. "The students rea lly seem to enjoy the songs. They help them to connect sounds with spelling and at the same time help with pronunciation." Science instructor Chris Fink broke away from usua l textbook work when she involved her class in the study of NASA. Students watched movies a nd had class discussions about the universe and how far man had come in exploration. After information and research were collected, students stated and supported their (j)llitkn.1\() I ltJ, opinion of what should be accomplished by NASA in the next three to five years: exploration of the moon, construction of a space station, or travel to Mars. " I thought it was a lot more fun than reading a book and doing an assignment," said Dan Westervelt '93. "It took a long time to collect all the research about Mars, but when we got the final project done, it was worth all the work." Even though the introductory journalism course had two textbooks available, instructor Linda Smoley chose to leave them in the closet and design lessons that concentrated on having students practice information gathering and writing skills. "The class is mainly lecture, discussion, writing, and critiquing," said Shannon Flynn '93 . " I've learned a lot about journalistic writing, and more important, the difference between good writing and bad writing." Through simulations, independent research, and writing, more and more students found that it was better to learn with less dependence on textbooks. -Stephanie Foss n music day instructor L'Louise Bowman and Lori Lowman keep their eyes on a lyric sheet and join the French class in singing "Mon Mee et Mo i," a French song.

" This entry wasn't really that of a pregnant woman. It was written by a student in instructor Patty Ford's child care course. Each student wrote a series of journal entries to record a simulated pregnancy. Ford said the assignment helped students use the thinking tactic called deep processing to learn about fetal development and child birth. "Students need to do hands on activities to really learn," Ford said. "They need to apply facts learned from the book and films to a life-like situation. Not only do they need to know pregnant women get morning sickness, but they need to feel that sickness and know what's causing it." Deep processing was also used in instructor Steve Swee's accounting class, where students found themselves pretending to be accountants for a make believe company. n Child Care class, Michelle Turk shows a puppet she made for her baby.

"Normal class exercises didn't teach us as well as the simulation," said Paulsen. "It got us in touch with the real world and the accounting procedures necessary in business." According to Linda Smoley, thinking skills facilitator, it was hoped that as students learned to deep process, they would use the technique on their own to commit new information to long term memory. Deep processing, however, was just one of several thinking skills teachers studied at after school in-services and then tried to teach students. Another skill they introduced in the classroom was synthesizing information by representing it graphically in notes. In instructor Dennis Devault's American history class, students often organized new material into web-like formations, in which a main topic branched off into circles of increasingly more specific subtopics. "I like graphic organizers," said Tiffany Butterbaugh '93, "because when a bunch of information is presented at one time, it gets all clumped up in my brain, and the organizer helps me make sense of my thoughts." Another thinking skill teachers tried to get students to use was memory frameworks, or the use of word association in memorizing. To memorize major accomplishments of ten ancient civilizations, instructor Larry Brown showed his world history class how to use a memory framework. "What we did was think of a word that rhymed with the numbers one through ten,' said Jenny Schultz '92, "like one bun, two shoe. Then we got a mental picture of the civilization's accomplishment and associated it with the word that rhymed with the number. For example, the Sumerians invented the wheel, a nd a wheel is shaped like a bun, so .we remembered one bun and the Sumerian wheel. Everyone thought it was helpful." Whether it was a memory framework, graphic organizer, or simulation for deep processing, many students found new thinking skills helpful in the classroom. -Melody Baraja ccounting students Dorie M iller and Ro~da Christensen record a transaction.

French teacher L'louise Bowman asked her students as she looked around the room for five reluctant contestants to compete in the game Dunce of the Day. In the game five students chosen to go to the chalk board were given a new vocabulary word to spell. The first one to spell it correctly won, and someone else took his or her place. "People always started screaming and yelling all over the room," said Pat Russell '93. " Joel Springer ('93) would always get so excited he would start falling on the floor." The game would continue around the room with hopefuls replacing winners, until the last five students remained. Then Bowman would announce that the dunce was at the board. Slowly, the five contestants dwindled to one, and the dunce was crowned. "Playing Dunce of the Day helped us learn the new vocabulary," said Angie Koenig '90. " But I swear, every time I'd play, I was the last person at the board. I guess I must be a real dunce!" Like Bowman, many teachers found ways to break the monotony of the classroom by developing games to help students learn new material or review for tests. Sometimes the games played in the class54 ictorious Kim Gift jumps for joy after solving a cryptogram in her English class.

Brown divided his economics classes into groups and gave each group information on an imaginary product and told them to figure out how to market the product. For two weeks, small teams whispered secret information like competitors' prices and marketing plans to each other, hoping other teams wouldn't discover their strategy, the key that could capture the victory. The team with the best earnings would go to the real competition at Creighton University. Todd Clark '90, was a member of one team that was selected for the metro competition. "I had to go into this room with a computer and start figuring price and profit, but then something happened and I realized I was $8000 in the hole," said Clark. "I started freaking out because I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work out. I felt like all the knowledge I had was being flushed down the drain, so I started taking money from each section, and with luck, it worked. We pulled off third place." In other classes, students divided into teams and played their own renditions of popular board games and television game shows to review for tests. reparing for an upcoming quiz, Brad Burke, Becky Ratashak, and Becky Machmuller play a form of Pictionary using drawings to illustrate their vocabulary in instructor Don Scheibeler's sixth hour Latin class.

Students tried to act as nonchalant as possible, casually arranging their desks for team work. They knew they were soon to become television stars. Regan's class, along with others, was filmed for a national broadcast about a new method of teaching called the Utah Plan. The Utah Plan, which was designed by Utah educators, sought to make students more active in their own learning. During a four day seminar on the plan last summer, 14 faculty members from AL learned how to follow carefully outlined procedures which more fully engaged students in the learning process. The plan was used in economics, history, reading, and English. One element of the plan was review and repetition, which required students to repeat as many correct answers as possible within a given time period. ive a helping hand.

"When he said, Today we're going to discuss Egypt,' a big groan came from every kid in the class,'' she said. "Brown didn't let it phase him, though. He came back and said, "Who was King Tut?" "In unison, the whole class said, 'He was the pharaoh of Egypt, whose pyramid was left untouched by graverobbers." It's real neat because he would get so excited, making us excited. The constant review really motivated us to remember the information." Todd Clark '90, also felt the Utah Plan helped students remember material better. "It's a different way of teaching and learning." said Clark. "It helps me because the information is drilled into my head." The new method also used the concept of co-teaching with two teachers planning and delivering a lesson together. "Co-teaching has really gotten me interested in class,'' said Sara Mason '93 . "It's real neat to walk into class and have two teachers help you learn and remember the lesson." Just as teachers teamed up under the plan, so did students. For example, in Regan' reading class, students would sit across from each other with a stack of flash-type card . One of the students would show the vocabulary words, giving his partner one minute t get as many correct answers as possible. Mindy Patten '93, said many aspects of the plan helped her more than lectures and lengthy study periods. "I don't like to study on my own,'' said Patten, "but with the Utah Plan, you get t work with other students to improve skills. I learn more when someone pushes me." Both teachers and students were surprised by the results of the Utah Plan. In each cla where the plan was practiced, no student ha failed as of the end of the first semester. -Kelli Smit rying to ignore the Iowa Public Televisio crewmen, instructor Dennis Devault concen trates on the overhead transpa rency studen are using for review before an American hi tory test.

In instructor Bill Willard's psychology classes, students were assigned to teach others the principle of classical conditioning. Jennifer Stuhr '91 , worked in a group to develop an example for her lecture. "Our example was dolphins," said Stuhr. " If they learned a trick from their trainers, they would be rewarded with fish. When we were lecturing for the class, we got confused. We had to stand there a few minutes because we were nervous and kept getting mixed up."

But when you actually do it yourself, you have to really understand the material. When you 're teaching it to others, you find out it's a lot harder than you expected." Instructor Jacqueline Hall's English students became facilitators to answer questions over a novel they had read. " Four of us who got A's on the quiz over To Kill A Mockingbird had to find quotes from the story to support our essay answers," said J enny Scott '93, who was a student facilitator in Hall's class. "We used the quotes to answer other students' questions. One of my friends told everyone in the class to call on me. It was weird standing in front of the class and being the teacher." In instructor Nancy Tangeman's Foods 3 class, future chefs demonstrated to classmates how to prepare a dish. "I could relate a little better to other kids," said Denise McClellan '91. "I understood how they were feeling and tried to help them out by paying attention. When I gave my speech, I forgot some steps a nd got confused, but Mrs. Tangema n helped." Some students avoided their nervousnes by teaching peers individua lly. Rusty Clevenger '92, had difficulty understanding an assignment until Andy Nour~e '91, expla ined it to him in instructor Connie Byrnes' computer science class. "He spoke on my level of intelligence, sa id Clevenger. " I didn't understand how a Read sta tement was used, and Andy explained it to me . You just understand things much better when a friend explains it than when the teacher does." Through teaching their classes, tud n~ s overcame their nervousness, helped their peers, a nd increased their understanding of the ma terial they taught. -Ricco Siasoco s part of a psychology assignment, e Merit teaches his 7th hour class about classical conditioning.

For example, if any of us had on black and white clothes, we used ourselves because we needed blacks and whites for good contrast. Being together made it less of an assignment and more of an activity." Working in groups was quickly becoming a more important part of school. "Cooperative learning needs to begin with high school and college," said assistant principal Ron Diimig, "since the emphasis on nearly every career is centered greatly around the idea of working within a group."

"Our group would get together and we'd divide the questions up into sections," said Barb Wehrmacher '92. "Each person got his or her own section, and when we were done, we'd help someone else or go over what we'd done. I learned a lot that way, and it didn't take as long." Group work also played a major part in instructor Mick Freeman's physics classes, where students were assigned certain labs to do in groups of four to six. "The most recent lab we did involved momentum," said Alison Brown '90. "We dropped a ball bearing off a ramp, and to see where it landed, we put carbon paper on the bottom. It was good having a lot of people for this lab because each person had a different job, and everything happened at the same time. For instance, one person dropped the ball, and another caught it so it didn't bounce twice and mess up our readings."

Each group was assigned to make something from a specific food group. "During the first part of the course, we decided on which food group to make," said Nikki Heidzig '90. "One week we'd make vegetables, and the next we'd make meats. Everyone in the group had to cooperate. a~d do their part so we could get it done within the hour." Group work gave students an enjoya?Ie, interesting way to learn, and at the same time prepared them for the world of work, where group cooperation would be essential. -Lori Paulsen efore answering questions from their French 1-2 books, Ryan Olsen, Charlotte Trappett, Melissa Frick, and Kelly Jarvis work _together to translate questions over a piece f French literature.

I reochers gain ey, how's it going? Do you need a ride home?" asked Scott Wheeler '91, as he placed his hand on the shoulder of Mary Larson, an Omaha rape counselor. Wheeler and Larson were demonstrating warning signs that might precede a date rape. Larson's talk was part of the "Community At Risk" program sponsored by the student council on April 11. In addition to date rape, seminars on drugs, alcohol, birth control, and gangs were presented to students and teachers all afternoon. "I think the "Community At Risk" program helped kids realize these problems occur in Council Bluffs, can happen to them, and can be deadly," said Jessica Mankin '93. "There are so many of kids who have questions but don't feel comfortable asking their parents for a nswers because they're scared." In addition to the "Community At Risk" program, students and teachers were given emonstrating defense mo,.es at the "Community Al Risk" program on date rape, counselor Mary Larson tries to escape from Jay Arricks.

At the Health Fair on April 5 and 6, students and teachers walked from table to table having their eye sight checked, measuring their body fat, and browsing through pamphlets and displays on breast cancer, A IDS, and birth control devices. There was even a booth where students could practice CPR on "Recussa Annie" and the Heimlic maneuver on "Choking Charlie." "I think the body fat station was the best," said Chad Theilen '92. "I found out that I had 12 percent body fat and learned what kind of exercises to do to keep that. The Health Fair was a great idea because so many kids don't know what their ideal body weight is and how to achieve or maintain it." On Earth Day April 22, many students learned through a seminar on recycling and speeches from tenth grade Students that individuals can help save the planet.

Haines and five other classmates went from room to room giving examples of how students' everyday habits can contribute to the destruction of the environment or bring it back to health. In addition, David Wilkins, a former member of the Omaha school board, talked to science students a bout what kinds of paper can be recycled and where they can take it. "I feel everybody learned so much from Earth Day," said Heather Fent '92. "I've already started to cut down on the use of products that I know will be harmful to the environment. At my lunch table, everybody has been trying to use paper sacks over as much as possible. When students saw the speech classes ta lking about our earth, they realized each person can make a difference." -Krissa Rossbund Specia l Learning Activities 63 • • • m a lifetime W hen 16 French students stepped off the airplane into the Paris airport, many of them found it hard to believe they were not dreaming. "Mrs. Bowman had been talking about the France trip since I was a freshman, but I never dreamed I'd actually get to go," said Danielle Nelson '91. "My parents told me the trip was a once-in-a-lifetime deal that I should take advantage of, and I'm glad I did; I had the time of my life." The month-long excursion to France, partially financed by the French Club, was but one example of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that Lynx organizations offered their members. Rare opportunities for recognition were available to publications staffers who excelled. " When I. won the highest hon64 Organization Division - or in the nation for in-depth team writing, I realized all my work was worth it," said Jane Johnson '90. "I'm probably not going to go on with newspaper after high school, so it felt great to receive the Quill and Scroll honor for my work while I had the chance." A L's own TV news broadcast, the AL Insider, offered speech students once-in-a-lifetime experiences on camera and behind the scenes. "The producer asked me to be a roving reporter for the Insider," said Loren Knauss '90. "Since I knew I wouldn't get the chance to be part of a T. V. production again, I gave it a try. I benefited from the deadlines and teamwork." Students smart enough to participate in Lynx organizations soon found that once-in-a-lifetime experiences abounded. -Ericka Wellman Q UIET ON THE SET!

Chris Sorensen '90, and Tyler Woods '92, took a quick look around the corner and saw their clothes and towels, with the help of a few student council members, running out the door. "At first we did a lot of screaming for someone to bring us something to put on," said Sorensen. "Pretty soon after that, some of the guys brought us two very small dishtowels to cover ourselves with and informed us that our undergarments were flying half-mast." Playing practical jokes helped student council members relax during their fall retreat at Camp Neyati. Members participated in leadership workshops, listened to guest speakers, discussed student issues, and planned the year's student activities. As Dustin Putnam '90, lay on the gym floor, he saw only vague patterns of light and blurred images. He felt the presence of people standing over him, but he had no idea of what was going on. Although the scenario sounds like an out-of-body experience, that was actually how Putnam felt when he woke up after fainting at the student council blood drive. "The first thing I remember when I woke up was having a chocolate chip cookie in my mouth and the nurse telling me to spit it out," said Putnam. "Instead of spitting it out, though, I started chewing it. Then the nurse yelled, 'Either swallow it or spit it out, one of the two.' It upset me that the first thing I heard after regaining consciousness was some woman in white screaming at me." Putnam was one of many students who gave blood for the Red Cross. This year's drive turned out more donors than in past years. In fact, workers had to turn some away after the limit of blood was collected. F aint voices filled the dark gym as Ricco Siasoco '90, walked up the stairs to the stage to announce the Homecoming royalty. Little did he know the D.J. had detached the stairs from the stage, and Siasoco ended up walking right off the top of them and fa lling to the ground below. "Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something falling by the stage," said Ericka Wellman '9 1. "I looked over and saw Ricco sprawled on the floor. At first, he looked like he was in pain, but then I saw him check to see if anyone witnessed his accident. I felt really sorry for him, but I couldn't offer help, laughing as hard as I was." Despite little incidents like Siasoco's five-foot fall, this year's Homecoming Dance was more successful than previous years. Student council members earned $2600 with more than 500 students attending. Organizations WORKING HARD.

(Photo by Stephanie Foss) r OOKWHO'S fit~ Continued M easuring cups lay everywhere, eggshells cluttered the sink, and a layer of flour and sugar covered everything. It looked like a scene from an intermediate cooking class, but in actuality, it was a kitchen where a few members of the Foreign Exchange Club had gathered to make everything from cookies and cream puffs to meatballs for the Christmas Dance. "Total chaos is the best way to describe cooking at my grandma's house," said Coco Fossland '92. "We ran out of room in the kitchen, so I had people working on card tables in the living room and on the washer and dryer in the laundry room." Even though it was a hectic day, the food committee was successful in making sure there was more than enough food at the dance. Fossland reported that while the sweets were a big hit, pizza and meatballs were devoured even faster. The Foreign Exchange Club was involved not only in Christmas Dance, but in potlucks, theme dinners, and even a hayride. Through all their activities, members got to know each other and had a good time. S ilence filled the auditorium except for the sound of National Honor Society member Chris Brewer's voice announcing the induction of next year's members. The evening was going smoothly, and everyone was doing what they were told to do, until sophomore Tori Christie's named was announced. At the sound of her name, Christie popped up and quickly dashed for the stage. The only problem was that she left her escort, Nathan Klaus '90, behind. The audience broke into laughter at the sight of Christie headed to get her certificate and rose, and Klaus running behind her, trying to get her attention. "It took me quite a while to figure out why everyone was laughing, I kept looking down because I thought I had spilled something on my dress," said Christie. "I turned and saw N athan laughing hysterically, and that's when I realii:_ed that I had spaced my escort." A s soon as instructor Patty Ford walked into Room 132 with 6 boxes of blow pop suckers in her hands, 12 Astra Club members knew that they had their work in store for them. Each sucker stick had to be colored on the bottom with a red, blue, or green marker for the Astra 'picka-pop' booth at the Lynx-o-Rama. Each color indicated a different prize ranging from colored rules to stuffed animals. "I think there was something like 200 suckers all together. It took all of homeroom to finish coloring the bottoms," said Christy McClary '93. "I'm just glad we did something at the Lynx-o-Rama, becau e everyone that was involved had a great time." -Stephanie Foss Service Clubs 69 70 YEii RBOOK.

(Photo by Kellie Bottrell) ERFECTLY Deadline pressures and photo foul-ups transform yearbookers into pranksters S omeone, help! I need a headline desperately!" " All right, who stole my pica ruler?" "Come on guys, we need to get busy!" Such shouts often echoed from the journalism room on Monday and Wednesday nights when yearbook staffers worked from 6 to 10 p.m. in Room 234. On one night while most staffers worked diligently pecking away a t the computer, thinking up headlines, and writing copy, six staffers escaped to the pa rking lot armed with ten rolls of toilet paper, and spent the next hour teepeeing adviser Linda Smoley's car. " I would've loved to see her face when she saw it," said Kellie Smith '92. "She always has an armful of books and she wouldn't have been able to open the door. Too bad someone cleaned it before she could see it." Whether the time was spent brainstorming for a headline or just goofing a round, yearbook worknights paid off. The 1989 yearbook won 16 national awards, including the Silver Crown, and 15 state awards. D ear Photog, I need my damn pictures NOW!" Notes like this were often taped on the door of the darkroom where photographers developed and printed pictures. Often, though, success was hard to come by. Kristi Knoernschild '92, really had problems getting a picture for one academic spread. "The photog assigned to my spread kept putting it off," said Knoernsc~ild . "When she fi nally took it, it didn't turn out. It didn't turn out the next two times, either." Finally, the help of an experienced photographer was enlisted, and even she had to take the picture twice. " It was frustrating," said Knoernschild. " I felt like my spread was jinxed." Unfortunately, though, almost every staffer had to develop the patience required to wait for photos. E veryone watched anxiously as senior editors Terri Smock and Heidi Neighbors prepared to give adviser Linda Smoley her Christmas gift. "Close your eyes, Smoley," said Smock, who then pulled two small dolls from a bag. "Introducing 'Just Ask Chuck' and 'Lavish Linda,"' said the two editors in unison. Smoley opened her eyes to see Ken and Ba rbie dolls made to resemble herself and her husband, Chuck. Barbie had a red do, an evening gown, and matching earrings. To create Chuck, extra ha ir was pasted on Ken's head and an upper lip and glasses were painted on his face. " I was really nervous because I thought they were going to do something awful," said Smoley. "I loved the dolls. They graced the front of the room all y ar.' The Christmas pa rty also included a pot luck dinner, a gift exchange, and a game of Scattergories. -Melody Barajas Yearbook 71 72 NSEARCHOF Tough subjects, computer complications barely faze dedicated newspaper staff "I don't think you should do this story about Satanism," the voice over the phone said matterof-factly. Hecky Baumker '90, the interviewer, smiled for a second - until her bedroom lights went out. "My lights just went out," Baumker told the girl. The interviewee laughed and said, " Hmmm, what a coincidence." Baumker said that even though the odd occurrence probably was a coincidence, it upset her a bit. "It didn't stop me, though. My mom brought me a flashlight, and I finished my interview." Baumker investigated several touchy subjects that took her away from AL, such as illiteracy, the homeless, and drug usage. For her reporting, Baumker received a National Quill and Scroll award and a UNO first place award for in-depth writing. As a whole, the staff garnered 23 awards in writing and design and received the Best Newspaper in the Metro distinction from UNO. I nnocently, Scott Downing ;90, stuck a knife into the waxer to remove a ball of wax. Suddenly, sparks flew, and computers shut down. "Oh, my God!" yelled adviser Linda Smoley, as six staffers stared in horror at the blank screens in front of them. "Don't you know better than to stick a metal object in an electrical appliance that's running? What are you trying to do? Electricute yourself?" Downing stood there with a look of astonishment on his face. Five minutes later, stories reappeared on computer screens, and sighs of relief came from staffers who had thought for sure their stories were lost. "No matter what anyone says," said Downing, "I don't think I caused the blown fuse." That wasn't the only time staffers faced fear when dealing with computers. Even when things went right, it took work to become comfortable with the two new Macintosh SE's, a Laserwriter Plus, and the Pagemaker program the staff received in the fall. V oices and laughter came from the layout room. There was still a lot of work to be done on the last issue, but staffers didn't care. Instead, they had a rap session and ate jelly beans. "I bet we were back there for an hour, just talking about nothing and eating jelly beans," said senior editor Scott Downing. "Everyone knew it was the last issue, but no one wanted to say it. We knew that pretty soon there would be no more times like these, so we put off our work and had some fun." Although editors had faced many stressful situations during the three nights a month on which they laid out the Echoes, they agreed they would miss the challenge of working together on the monthly paper. -Stephanie Foss Organizations ..

(Photo by Kathy Westphal) HANGING Musicians ~~ use laughter to cope with change in director, stiff competition I t was at least 98 degrees in the band room. Clad in shorts and tank tops, musicians felt their sweaty legs stick to their chairs. Expectantly, all eyes stared at the d0or. Finally, dressed in a suit and tie, a young man in his 20's strolled through the door and addressed the group. " I'm Mark Mendell, your new director," he said. "I'm proud to be here, but this year's going to be different. I want to improve the program with some changes." Soon, band members would begin to disagree about the changes he made, which included splitting the pep band in two, dropping last year's soft, mellow music for a more up beat sound, and requiring the band to attend stiffer competition. " I think the changes we made were for the better," said Andy Caputo '90. "We needed to expand and experience new things, and Mendell made sure we did:" But some felt Mendell's changes were made without band members' input. " I suppose you need change, but he made too many too soon," said Barb Wehrmacher '92. "A lot of band members said they didn't have as much fun this year and are dropping. I don't think he realizes that." Band members stood on the Glenwood field, fidgeting with their hats, and shifting from one foot to another. They held their breath, waiting for a voice to come over the loudspeaker. When the announcer's voice said, "Abraham Lincoln, Rating I," excited musicians jumped up and down, screamed, and hugged each other. "It was so great," said Theresa Frieze '92. "We knew we could get a Division I rating, but the best thing was beating Tee Jay. We didn't beat them last year, so it was one of our major goals." The Glenwood contest was the culmination of 11 weeks of getting up at the crack of dawn, rushing to school, and marching on a cold, muddy field for an hour and a half every morning. 0 h, my God!" squealed Megan Caputo '92, so loudly that all 150 people crammed into the gym at the Bellevue East Jazz Band Competition turned to look at her. "When I heard the announcer say Westside got a Division II rating, I knew we had first," said Caputo. "They're our main competitors and I just got so excited when I knew we'd beaten them, I had to scream." When jazz band members heard they had gotten ·first, they jumped out of their seats, screaming in relief. According to Cory Powers '90, Bellevue competition is comparable to a district tournament for a sport. "We wanted State so badly," said Amy Ander on '92. "We worked really hard and went there with State in our minds, knowing we were good enough to get it." Band 75 HANGING ~~ Continued L oaded down with pop, chips, and boomboxes, I 00 band members piled onto three buses for the trip to Ankeny, where they would be the only band from southwest Iowa to compete. An hour later the musicians were laughing, singing, dancing, or sleeping, when all of the sudden, the bus swerved off the road. "It was so weird. Everything was fine. Then the bus just went zooming off the road," said Julie Stueve '92. "The only amusing thing was seeing everyone's face, but I bet mine was pretty white too." When the band members finally reached Ankeny and saw the huge 400 member competing bands and the large crowd, many of their faces turned white again. They got so nervous some could hardy play. One girl almost passed out. " I think a combination of things made me so nervous," said Jenni Miller '92. "The crowd was so huge and intimidating. Also, I hadn't eaten all day." The band placed sixth out of six bands, but members hoped to improve as a result of tough competition. The red, white, and blue flag flew through the air and landed perfectly in the hands of Heather Ellingsen '92. As she went for her quarter turn, her hands were positioned just right, and her hopes were high, but the twirl was stopped when her flag pole hit a judge on the head. Ellingsen gritted her teeth and felt her eyes begin to water as she tried to keep a straight face. " It was so hard not to just bend over and start laughing," she said. . The accident wasn't a disaster, though, for m marching band competition, as long as the performers do not move out of the way and break form, hitting a judge can actually improve a band's score. In this case, the accident resulted in a lucky 50 points at State Band Competition and made color guard members smile all the way to the bus. 0 rchestra members dragged their tired bodies into Kentucky Fried Chicken during their break from all day practice at Beatrice.

"Even though she hid in the luggage rack, Jeff Farber grabbed her, and I poured honey all over her."

(Photo by Heidi Wolff) Band 77 78 HE WORKING Deco members win awards, find crazy ways to pass time at conferences S taring off into space, Loren Knauss became more and more restless. There was nothing to do and nowhere to go during his break between seminars at the central regional DECA conference in Wichita, KS. Suddenly, an idea popped in his head, and within minutes, he had talked Mike Feierfeil into going along. "We were so bored," said Knauss. "I started getting hyper, so we went around to almost all of the rooms in our hotel introducing ourselves to anyone and everyone we saw. It seems strange, but it was fun meeting all those people, and it helped kill time." From stair races to phone tag, creative ways to kill time became second nature to hotel bound DECA members during the six conferences they attended. When Trede Tawzer '90, was selected as one of I 0 finalists at the national DECA competition, he suddenly became a harried employer whose employees repeatedly left his store dirty. Although this situation might seem strange to some, to Tawzer it was but one more test to pass. "At Nationals, written tests are harder, so when it was time for the oral test, I was excited because that's my speciality," said Tawzer. "In just 15 minutes, I had to make up a schedule describing how the work load and cleaning duties would be distributed among my employees. It' was hard to do. Shelly Binkley '90, and Tawzer both attended the competition in San Jose, CA. and although neither placed in the top three, both agreed the trip was a great learning experience. S lowly, Matt Petersen walked through the hallway clutching the person's hand in front of him. The lights were on, but he couldn't see a thing. Every now and then, someone yelled that there was a flight of stairs or a corner coming up. As he felt the person in front of him pull downward, he tightened his grip and prayed he was almost to the bottom. Not many people would trust a stranger to lead them around blindfolded, but students in instructor Roger Pearson's business management class found this simulation in early November helped them become more trusting of each other. "Mr. Pearson thought it would be a good activity for us to do to become more acquainted," said Petersen. "We had four or five groups and they were all blindfolded, and in each group, there was a leader." -Heidi Neighbors Organizations "WHERE'S THE SNOOZE?"

Suddenly, Cory Powers '90, stopped and turned to his partner, Kari Hannan '90. This was not a scene from the latest horror movie. It was the Halloween episode to the AL Insider. "We filmed the sequence so it looked like Kari and Cory were being chased through the cemetery," said Todd Clark '90, executive producer of the bi-monthly television show. "First a killer was supposed to be chasing them, and I followed them through the cemetery with the· camera. Then I panned back when they reached the grave. I always had this fascination for horror movies, so it was a fun experience." Interesting locations and an energetic cast resulted in success for the advanced AL Insider show. weaty palms and a soaring temperature of 103 S plagued Janella Matter '92, as she nervously prepared to give her speech. She knew that she must have the flu, but still she insisted on competing. After all, this was District speech competition in Sioux City. "I started to give my speech," said Matter, "and I felt my face turn super green. I was near the end of it, and I just passed out. I didn't even finish." The judge rushed over to her and knelt on the ground. "I remember opening my eyes and the judge looking down at me," said Matter. "He asked me if I was all right and told me to sit for five minutes. It was embarrassing. Everyone was staring at me." Like Matter, the rest of the speech team often showed nothing could stop them as they earned top awards at Districts and in tournaments. With adrenaline pumping through his entire body, Michael Angeroth '93, wrapped up his debate case and quickly glanced across the room to his opponents for some kind of response to his speech. Angeroth and his partner, Joy Nelsen '93, prepared for their first winning round at the Fremont Invitational. Their opponents looked up, smiled, and prepared their counter argument, but after the first round, the other team had given up. "The other team's plan was supposed to do everything ours did and more," said Angeroth, " and that's how the judge decides who wins. It was a let down when they gave up. Our win didn't seem like much of an accomplishment. I wanted to win, but I also wanted to have a good fight. " Debaters found preparedness paid off as they competed at 17 tournaments and earned 2nd place at the Cr~ighton Prep Classic and the Bryan Invitational. -Ricco Siasoco Speech And Debate 81 82 RIGHT ON PITCH, concert choir members Kellie Bottrell, Kris Capel, and Tracy Kesterson rehearse for the All-City Vocal Festival in the gym Feb. 22.

Concert choir members sang in six concerts throughout the year, (Photo by Kellie Bottrell) , f LITTLE ~~ Crowded bathrooms, kooky costumes help singers frolic in wacky ways Eight people piled on top of Juli Neff '90, as she sat on the tiny sink. To break the monotony of the long bus ride home from Creston, New Design choir members decided to find out how many bodies could actually fit into the compact lavatory of the charter bus. Neff tried hard not to inhale too much of the rotten stench as she listened to Joy Andrew '90, scream for help. "Everyone on the bottom was screaming, 'Leave! Get out!' " said Neff. "Right beside me, Joy kept screaming, 'I got a faucet up my butt! I got a faucet up my butt!' It seemed like about half an hour before I finally got out." Swing choir members often found themselves doing outrageous stunts to celebrate their Division I State rating and first place trophies at the Bellevue East Jazz Festival and the Creston Choir Competition. L aughter echoed in the gymnasium as concert choir members played a jovial game of Scruples in center court of the big gym. Though other choir members had fallen asleep already, a few stragglers at the all-night retreat on Dec. I managed to stay awake past 2 a.m. by playing volleyball and board games, watching videos, and dancing to music blasting from the radio. Deborah Hogan '91, scanned her remaining Scruples cards and concentrated on keeping her eyelids open. "Playing Scruples at 3 o'clock in the morning isn't my usual thing to do on Friday night," said Hogan, "but I really had a good time at the retreat. I got to know people a little better that I usually don't tal k to, and now they go out of their way to say 'Hi' to me." Many concert choir members found they became closer through the all-night retreat, daily rehearsals, and six winter and spring concerts. Perched atop the gray, wobbly table, Tena Nelson '90, searched for her name among the list of Iowa All-State Chorus members. Screams of joy and whispers of consolation filled the crowded Atlantic High School gym as Nelson continued her search through the 20 names. Finally, after scanning the list for the fourth time, she found her short name squeezed in among the others. " It was such a relief to fi nally see my name," sa id Nelson. " I could barely hold myself up because I was so excited. People were almost pinching me, they were holding me so tight. " After more than 60 hours of intense rehearsal, acceptance into the Iowa All-State Chorus became a rea lity fo r N elson, J uli Neff '90, Kim Will '90, and Joy Andrew '90. Choir 83 84 LITTLE 4M Continued A aaaaahhhhhh. Molly Spann '91, and several New Design members had just eased into the hot tub at Spann's house during the Christmas party Dec. 21. Sweltering steam surrounded the singers as they chatted about their recent performances. Suddenly from the pitch black night, Spann felt a snowball pelt the back of her neck. She turned quickly and caught the culprits dashing away behind the house. "It wasn't too pleasant," "having a bunch of fools throwing cold snowballs at us in the steaming jacuzzi," Spann said. "I wasn't really mad, though, I just laughed." Despite the snowball attack, New Design members enjoyed comraderie and success through parties and performances all year long. H her stomach rumbling, Stacie O'Connor '93, prepared to perform with the Young Design at the Christmas concert Dec. 18. Her footsteps clicked steadily along the tiles as she paced the hall before her performance. "I was a little more nervous than everyone else," said O'Connor, "because it was my first year in swing choir. I'm not used to singing and dancing at the same time, and my parents and sisters were going to be in the audience. But once I got on stage, I was super relaxed, and I didn't think it was so bad." Young Design swing choir members grew in their ability to perform with ease as they practiced every Tuesday and Thursday morning, choreographed 11 songs, and gave five performances during the year. H eads turned, whispers rose, and laughter replaced song as Kim Will '90, proudly sauntered to the front of the choir room. Dressed in red Converse hightops and a white toga and wielding a cardboard torch, Will impersonated the Statue of Liberty as she gave her campaign speech for concert choir president. Normally tiresome and mundane, the elections took an exciting turn when presidential candidates plastered the walls with wild posters and delivered impassioned speeches. "I was supposed to be portraying truth, honor, and justice," said Will, "and that's why I wore the toga. I don't think people got the connection because they were laughing too hard at what I was wearing." After the results were read and Ricco Siasoco '90, was announced president, Will said she wasn't too upset by the results. "It didn't matter that I didn't win because everyone who was nominated would have done a good job," she said. " I thought it was just fun to run." For the 73 members of concert choir, the zany elections enhanced a year that was a little off beat. -Ricco Siasoco Organizations "KING ME!" screams Chris Holmes as he leaps over Shawn Shea.

This is Nikki Heidzig, and I'm vice president of Business Professionals of America . We're selling memberships for Booster Club, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in supporting your son or daughter's school by purchasing one." "This pitch was familiar in instructor Pam Ziebarth's Office Education class, where members from BPA used their class period every day for the first quarter to call parents for Booster Club memberships. The group sold nearly $2,000 in memberships. "Basically, BPA is a great club to be a part of because it helped me get my job keeping books for the Mediterranean, and it has given me a lot of responsibility," said Heidzig. "It made me decide that I want a career in business." 1\ s hoards of advanced accounting students gathered around Dorrie Miller '90, on the first day of German candy sales, they heard her suddenly exclaim, "There's enough for everybody! Calm down!" Miller created the same excitement every day for two weeks while selling candy for German Club in March. Sales were so good that, according to Miller, the group made $1200, enough for a trip to Kansas City's Worlds of Fun for 32 members and the purchase of a new Apple computer for the German room. "If it wasn't for the thought of going to Worlds of Fun and riding all those rides," said Miller, "I probably wouldn't be doing this so enthusiastically. I was so surprised to have sold so much. I think everyone liked the candy imported from Germany because it is so original and it tastes good, too." A round 7:45 p.m. about 20 French Club members and guests piled out of three separate cars and trekked their way up to freshman Beth Lindberg's house. Hers was the second house of the night, and members were excited to eat the Roast Beef Jardiniere that was waiting for them inside. These students were participating in the French Progressive dinner on Dec. 18. Students began at French instructor L'Louise Bowman's house with hors-d'oeuvres, then travelled from house to house for roast beef as the main course, anchovie and mushroom salad, French bread, fruits and cheeses, and cherry tarts and cheesecake. "I was a little nervous about having people at my house, especially after I saw how authentic all the other parts of the meal were, but it turned out great, and all I had to do was pick what meal I wanted to make and follow the recipe that Mrs. Bowman gave me," said Lindberg. "I had a lot of fun. The best part was after each meal, climbing into the car and zoo.ming off to another house for more great food ." -Lori Paulsen Academic Clubs 87 88 OMEJOIN ~dM& Continued As the answer blurted out of junior Brian Swick's mouth, he knew as soon as he said, "They're all names of presidents" that it was the wrong answer, but there was nothing he could do to take it back. Swick's answer was the beginning of a short but painful Brain Bowl competition in Shenandoah, sponsored by KMA radio station. The competition began at l p.m. and lasted for only 45 minutes because AL was eliminated by Tee Jay in the first round of questions, which ranged from history and science to nature and sports. "We couldn't believe how Brian missed the easiest question of the whole round," said Eric Hamilton '91. "The question involved four names, and a contestant had to guess what each of them had in common. There were two really strange names, and the other two were names of presidents, so that's what he guessed. He realized after he buzzed in that he was totally wrong." What seemed like a camping trip out at Pony Creek was actually a unique learning experience for approximately 40 members of the Science Club. Once they reached their destination, they got busy roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, telling ghost stories, and using a telescope to observe formations of stars and planets, such as various constellations, the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter. "The star gaze was mostly a social gathering, but I learned so much about space from just looking through a telescope," said Dustin Putnam '90. "When we weren't telling ghost stories or eating a burnt marshmallow, we were looking through the telescope and showing each other solar bodies we had found. I, for one, was completely fascinated by Saturn's rings." S even AL students emerged from a classroom at Tee Jay singing, "You Are My Sunshine." These students were finishing a choir performance; they were ending a day full of taking tests on a good note. Members of the Academic Team, coached by instructors Marsha Grandick and Ellen Winter, took part in the Academic Decathlon in late February at Tee Jay. Students spent all morning and afternoon, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving speeches and taking tests to measure their knowledge. "By the end of the day we were all so tired from tests and speeches that we just started singing that crazy song," said Dana Sharp '92. "We didn't care what everyone thought of us. We even wrote the words, 'You Are My Sunshine' on each chalkboard that we saw. Our brains were all so fizzled that we really didn't realize what we must've sounded like." The team placed second behind Tee Jay. -Lori Paulsen Organizations GUESSING THE CORRECT answers in a series of multiple choice questions, Academic Team members Ste~en Ourada, Mike Donner, Mary Ma~sh, and John Case crowd around the computer screen in instructor Ellen Winter's room.

Academic Clubs 89 90 EADY TO I Cheerleaders ~ find sacrifices and hard work keys to achieving their success WT hi le flipping lazily through channels on the T.V. in her hosptial room, freshman cheerleading captain Lori Lowman called her cheerleading squad about the game the next day. Lowman was hospitalized for five days after an accident. When she returned to school, on crutches and in pain, she was called up to Room 216 for an award. Because Lowman didn't let her accident stand in the way of her responsibility to call her squad, remind them of games, and set up practices, she was awarded a spirit pin for her dedication. "I was so surprised to receive the pin," said Lowman. "It was an honor I wasn't expecting." Dedication was a common quality of the 36 cheerleaders who arrived at school by 7 a.m. for daily practices and cheered at more than 200 games. S ilence filled the air of the stuffy classroom as 11 cheerleaders watched a surprise award being given to J.V. co-captain Deborah Hogan. Happily, Hogan thanked sponsor Jo Barcus for the spirit pin she received for outstanding leadership and improvement as the J.V. captain. "Now, I'm happy that I made the J.V. squad instead of varsity," said Hogan, "because of the new friends I made and the opportunity to be a captain." Like Hogan, many cheerleaders found themselves sacrificing some of their personal desires for the good of the squads. A s a noisy charter bus full of cheerleaders slowly pulled out of the school parking lot, a hunched over figure sadly waved goodbye. Crippled with a sprained ankle after an accident in practice, varsity cheerleader Andrea Nielson '91, wished she was on the bus going to camp. When the squad returned and practice resumed, N ielson found herself working twice as hard to learn the new cheers and dances, but by the end of summer, she had mastered the same skills the others had. "I was upset that I couldn't go to camp, but the more I worked to catch up, the better I felt," said Nielson. N ielson wasn't alone in discovering that success came with hard work. Cheerleaders practiced I 00 hours in the summer to prepare for the 1989-90 season. -Kristi Knoernschild Organizations YOU GOT IT!

The girls jumped up and ran to open the door. Although nobody was there, looks of astonishment covered the girls' faces. From side to side, Meadows' yard was filled with street and road signs. Suddenly, silence was ruptured as seven varsity basketball players ran around the corner laughing hysterically. "I knew that the basketball team was planning on stopping by, but I never dreamed they would do anything that creative," said Meadows. "We were laughing so hard, especially when we saw the street sign for Lori Lane on the top of my car." This crazy evening was just one of many times porn pon girls broke the routine of everyday practice and work. They held a sleepover before initiation, ate Chinese food before football games, and cooled off from summertime heat at the water slides. With shaking knees and wobbling feet, Becky Machmuller '9 1, anxiously waited for the beat of "Bust A Move" to come blaring out of the ghetto blaster during halftime of the boys' basketball game against Gross. She was positive that if the music didn't start soon, she would fall off the back of Melissa Timm '92, where she stood in her beginning position. "I really didn't know whether I should stay there or jump off," said Machmuller. "It was so hard for me to stay on her back when everybody was laughing at us." After the squad suffered a good three minutes of embarrassment as the crowd laughed and yelled at them to get going, the music finally started. The squad got used to the embarrassment, though, as shorts in cords, accidentally moved volume knobs, and rewound tapes kept their music from starting on time at every performance except two. N1 ervously, Molly Mortensen '91, drove to the home of porn pon sponsor Linda Robicheau wondering why Robicheau wanted so urgently to talk to her. As Mortensen walked in the house, she was greeted by a big smile. Robicheau then asked Mortensen to become a member of the squad because another girl had quit. "I was so excited to hear that I was next in line for the squad," said Mortensen. "I thought the other members wouldn't accept me or that I wouldn't dance as well. However, they treated me as if I had been on the squad all along, and being in the squad proved to be one of the best experiences of my year." -Krissa Rossbund ) Organizations TROPHY TIME "The s . ? • • em or a~ard.

"In the District final we were tied in the sixth, and I was up," said Ryan Meis '91. "I got on first, stole second, then scored on a wild pitch, and we won. Our work finally paid off. " With 21 wins and 2 losses, the girls' basketball team won more games than any basketball team in AL's history. The Lady Lynx advanced to Substate, where Des Moines East upset them, 52-49. "The loss to East was a blow to us, but we were proud looking back on all we accomplished," said Cathy Ma uer '92. "We worked for every single victory." Aaron Thatcher '91 , captured Sports Division • success in the water, breaking school records and earning a third place finish in the 200m individual medley at State. "I felt great on the victory stand with the medal around my neck hearing everybody cheer for me," said Thatcher. "I was ecstatic with my finish." Seven wrestlers traveled to the state tournament in February. Although not all of them placed at State, two grapplers, Darren Coppock '92 and Walt Furler '90, earned third place honors. "I was nervous before my first match," said Coppock, "but once I got on the mat, I was ready to win. It was a great feeling to pin my man in just 19 seconds." Most Lynx athletes found the thrill of one victory was never enough to satisfy them. -Ericka Wellman D EFENSE!

We only won three games, but we had to overcome that, so we just had a good time with each other. Jenny Schultz '91 I n t was only the beginning of the season, and already people were telling the 1989' baseball team its chances of making it to State were above average. Although many players wanted to believe this prediction, no one did until they had beaten seven of ten teams in the first two weeks of play. "We didn't want to be overconfident," said Chris Sorensen '90, "but then we started to win a lot of games. That's when we really began believing in ourselves." The players also came to believe in superstitions, ones they felt played a big part in their successful season. During one tournament, the players stayed at the same house after every game. John Eledge '89, vowed not to wash his socks or Garfield boxer shorts, and Greg Larsen '89, slept under the dining room table in hopes of good luck. "I think our superstitions were confidence builders," said Jim Burgett '90. "They gave everyone something to believe in." After 42 games and 29 wins, the Lynx found themselves on their way to Substate. But to get there, they had to play tough teams like Harlan and Sioux City East. --00 "Going into the Harlan game, we didn't think anything could stop us," said Mike Graham '90. "The intensity carried over into the Sioux City game. I think they saw us as an easy win, but we gave it our all and won 8-3." READY AND WAITING.

"The loss to Ford Dodge was a complete shock. We really felt we could win," said Graham. "Everyone was tense and played timidly, but we had to be proud of such a successful season." Unlike the baseball team, softball players ended their season with a disappointing record of 3-30. Inexperienced pitching played a big part in the girls' inability to play consistently. "Our coach had a lot of people pitching at the start of the season, so no one was ever really sure of what position they'd be playing," said Krissa Rossbund '92. Though their record didn't prove it, under the instruction of first year Coach Sharon Hof man, the girls showed some promising talent. Senior Kelsy Coppock was named to the All-City team, while Kendra Cory and Cathy Mauer earned honorable mentions. Despite inexperience and tough breaks the baseball and softball teams found they could 'have winning seasons no matter what their records. -Heidi Neighbors STRIKE THREE?!

( Pholo by Kristi Kuper) / LEAVING Cross country runners use togetherness to gain individual success, reach state goal oo------ W hen I was running, I could hear my teammates cheering for me on the sidelines. As tired as I was, I couldn't run any faster, but it was still motivation for me to keep going. Brian Hauser '93 - - -00 S louched over after finishing the last race of his high school career, senior standout Brian Schulenberg found it hard to believe the season was over. Moments later, teammate Casey Malskiet '92, tapped Schulenberg on the shoulder. "Thanks for running with us this year, man," Malskiet said, shaking his teammate's hand. Tears welled in Schulenberg's eyes. "Someone thanking me for running with this team was incredible," said Schulenberg, who placed 16th at State. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to run with them. Everyone put in effort, and we were always there for each other, so it was easier to be a team." .. Though cross country was an individual sport, runners found team unity essential to their success, which included five first place finishes in 10 meets and eighth place at State. . William Koger '89, said there were many thmgs runners did, aside from cheering each other on, which made a difference for him. "One time, I was having trouble in school," Koger said. "The guys told me I had to get !11Y grades back up because they needed me, and Bnan (Schulenberg) helped me with my hom~work. H.e had no idea what he was doing, but he tned, and it meant a lot to me." Not all runners were able to compete at State as reward for their performance, but being a part of STRUTTING THEIR STUFF at practice, Tyler Woods and Jeff Husmann take to the streets for an afternoon workout. Woods and Husmann joined the team to get in shape for wrestling. (Photo by Kristi Kuper) the team made their efforts worthwhile. "The first run was so hard I didn't think rd make it," said Manuel Valadez '91. "I'm glad I stuck it out. We were one big, happy family, and I was a part of the team." The Lady Lynx also found the support necessary to lead them to a productive season. "At Denison, I felt so sick I couldn't finish ," said Heather Fox '93. " I dropped out and no one could find me. When I got back to the clubhouse, everyone told me I did a good job. I told them I didn't finish, but it didn't matter to them. It was that attitude that made it easy to get along like we did." In October, runners traveled to Des Moines to compete with the best in the state. Once there, however, events took a turn for the worse. "When we got to our hotel, my sinuses acted up," said Schulenberg. "I took aspirin all night and fell asleep at the meet. When I woke up, I didn't feel much better. Things like that just happen; I have no regret. I did the best I could." His best earned Schulenberg a 16th place finish individually and helped the team finish 8th. The Lady Lynx ended in 10th place, led by senior Becky Ratashak, who came in 42nd. Both girls' and boys' teams crossed barriers as well as miles, to make teamwork a priority. ' "We were there for the team," said Fox, "not for ourselves. We were in the season together." -Ericka Wellman. KEEP IT UP!

(Photo by Stacy Robicheau) 100 Sports v A fter racking up 28 wins, two ties, and only eight losses, the girls' volleyball players said their greatest skill was not spiking, serving, or setting, but talking. "The girls were always able to talk to each other," said Coach Mary Kyte, " and communication on the court is essential." Taking to the court against state ranked Atlantic, the fourth ranked Lady Lynx knew a tough match lay ahead. "As soon as we walked on the court, you could feel the intensity," said Keleigh Scherzinger '90. "It was silent until the first serve, and then we opened up. Their best hitter went cross court all night so I was going for an outside block, but Kendra (Cory '90) read the hitter and yelled 'middle!' Instantaneously, my hands went inside and blocked the ball. It was that kind of communication that was important on the court." A special communication, both verbal and nonverbal, also existed between the coach and the players. During the Tee Jay tournament, the girls said they could read Kyte's expressions. "When we beat Lewis Central, we could see in Miss Kyte's eyes that we could win," said Heidi Workman '91. Scherzinger said she, too, was often moved by Kyte's expressions. "She just kind of glowed like a parent; it made me feel great to see her with that glow," said Scherzinger.

"Then we told each other how hard we tried, and we encouraged each other to continue playing next year." With tears in her eyes as she stood in the locker room after the loss, Workman thanked the girls for helping her grow as a player and a person. . . " Everyone was hurt by the loss,'' said Vickie Ambrose '91. "We were looking to go to State, a~d we believed in the team. Miss Kyte told us we did all we could and that we played with our hearts." The team was proud of its accomplishments, which included holding the record for the most wins in a season. Individually, Lori French '90, scored 306 points during the season, and Cory had the best serve receive percentage. The knowledge gained in the season could not be marred by the district defeat. " I learned a lot that I won't ever forget," said Tori Christie '92.

Sean Cihacek '90 A bout 30 football players dressed in crimson and blue jerseys threw open the door to Ewald's Cafe on Aug. 31 and rearranged tables to fit the team together. A countless number of jumbo burgers later, the pregame Thursday night tradition had been set. Ewald's a fifties style diner, had become the official food supplier to the 1989 Lynx football team. Players did more than stuff themselves with burgers, through. Unity formed in places like Ewald's became a powerful motivator on the field. "We were a close team," said Mike Graham '90. "We had faith in each other to never let each other down." Although varsity's 2-7 record seemed unimpressive, the 26-0 victory over St. Albert and 14-7 win over Tee Jay made the Lynx city champs. But eating at Ewald's didn't give the players the skill they needed to take the city championship; that was gained on the practice field, where teammates encouraged each other through rigorous drills and conditioning exercises. Players endured 100-yard sprints in full gear and conditioning stations that included sit-ups, pullups, and dips, but perhaps the toughest strengthbuilding drill was the telephone pole. selves to heave it simultaneously into a sit-up position. As they struggled to lift it, the you-can-do-it cheers of teammates provided needed support. Coach Bill Emsick said the team's unity inspired the guys to keep trying, despite the powerhouse Metro teams they faced. "I remember when one of our linemen missed a block in the Creighton Prep game," said Jason Gladden '91. "Fred Welch went to him on the sidelines, told him shake it off, and told him he'd get the guy next time. It worked. Our guy really nailed the player from Prep." Later, against Central, Mike Custer '90, recovered two fumbles for a total of 14 7 yards and two touchdowns. "Coming back from the loss to Prep," said Custer, "we pulled together as a team to try to upset Central. When I made the first touchdown, everybody congratulated me, but that was nothing compared to the reactions to the second one." Whether formed on the field or off, unity proved to be an accomplishment the record never showed. -Melissa Feller ---00 As an 800-pound telephone pole was lowered onto 12 exhausted bodies, the players geared them- "HE'S MINE!"

GIVIN' IT Wrestlers learn practices/ conditioning/ sacrifices all needed for great season 00---- "We could work as much or as little as we wanted, but it was awfully easy to tell who really put all their energy into wrestling and only wrestling. " Tyler Woods '92 ----"00 weat rolled down senior Kelly Dunlap's face as she glanced anxiously at his watch . . . 7:35 a.m. "Only ten minutes left," he thought as he continued running laps around the gym. "Besides our morning laps," said Dunlop, "we spent every day after school either practicing or competing. We had a lot of weekend tournaments too. Wrestling had to be a full time thing." Successful wrestlers learned that being a part of the team meant four months of work and sacrifice. An average practice consisted of 75 push-ups and sit-ups and 25 handstand push-ups before any mat work began. On the mats, each individual wrestled three matches at full speed and then worked on technique. After the matches, the calisthenics were repeated. The hard work paid off as the varsity finished the season with nine wins and only two losses. One of the biggest highlights of the regular season was the victory over city rival Lewis Central. "LC was one of the best matches," said Darren Coppock '92. "They're a really tough team and it's always a close meet. This year we worked hard and deserved to win." The team's hard work was also evident at the district meet in February when the Lynx took first place and qualified seven wrestlers for State. . "It was the last meet and we went all out," said Jeff Husmann '90. "The seniors really wanted State." At State, Walt Furler '90, a four time qualifier, took third place after a wrestle-back. Coppock also brought home a third place title for the Lynx . But successful wrestlers had to do more than condition and practice tough; they had to live right. "Each wrestler chose his own weight class," said Coach Clark Allen. "If staying at their weight meant giving up pizza and pop with the guys, then that was a sacrifice they were expected to make." Giving up time with friends proved to be the toughest sacrifice wrestlers had to make. "I had to tell my friends I couldn't go to parties with them because of wrestling," said Chad Hathaway '90. "Turning down invitations to 'grab something to eat' was also tough, but I couldn't afford to cut weight." Some learned the hard way that if they didn't ~allow a strict regimen, they would have to pay for It. Jeff Husmann '90, was two and a half pounds overweight as he began the trip to State, so he jumped rope and ran non-stop until five minutes before his first match. "Cutting weight so fast made him sick and a lot weaker," said Allen. "He wrestled anyway and lost." In the end, wrestlers found that the sacrifice and hard work paid off. "For me, it was all worth it," said Husmann, "because I'd rather be wrestling than anything else." -Melissa Feller ON HIS TOES, Fred Welch unsuccessfully tries to avoid a lakedown by Sioux Cily East's Casey Fenton at Districts.

Even though it was an upset, it was still an excellent game. I was very proud to be on the team. ,, Teena Schultz '91 ---00 W hen Karlin Sedlacek '90, was called for charging at the substate game against Des Moines East, only six seconds were left on the clock. Tears filled the players' eyes as they realized their goal of State couldn't be reached. After seeking their state goal game after game and having their chance lost in an emotional 52-49 substate upset, many on the 1989-90 team wanted only to be back on the court. " I'm probably the only senior who doesn't want to graduate," said Sedlacek. "I will never forget when my dad took his boys' team to substate and lost. I promised him I'd win for him when I got there, and when we lost to East, my heart dropped to my feet because I knew I had lost that chance. I wish I could stay in school so I could have one more chance." To get that close to State and build the st~mina that carried them to a 21-3 season, the best m AL history, the Lady Lynx used special strategies. Physically, they worked harder than most tea~s , even scrimmaging the South End Metro boys' intramural team to build endurance. "Mr. Brown worked us hard in practice so games would be easier," said Vickie Ambrose '91. "When we scrimmaged the guys, no fouls were called. They hacked us, but it made us tougher." But this team went beyond the physical to experiment with sports psychology techniques such as shooting free throws without a ball. MAKING HER MOVE around Tee-Jay's Melanie Arellano, Cathy Mauer sets up the Lady Lynx offense. Mauer scored 17 points during the game. (Photo by Kristi Kuper) ' ... - ·-~ - "Mr. Brown had us visualize the surroundings in a game," said Cathy Mauer '92. "He told us to think of how the gym would smell and listen to the noises that would be around us. Then we shot free throws without the ball. We practiced having good form and imagined _making every shot." As a result, Brown said the team's free throw percentage improved by seven points. In addition to tough workouts and mental techniques, the Lady Lynx watched tapes of upcoming opponents. Brown usually watched with them, but by the end of the season, he decided it would be good for the girls to study the videos without him. "We watched a tape of Des Moines East," said Sedlacek. "We wrote dowl} things we noticed about their skills to go over them. I think it helped us to analyze the tape from our point of view, since we were the ones who had to play the game." The girls' special strategies helped them defeat several Metro powerhouses, including the number three rated Westside Warriors. " I was pumped for the Westside game," said Angie Koenig '90. "We went to Spaghetti Works before the game to talk about what we wanted to accomplish. At the game, we played great! I remember Mr. Brown turning to me on the bench and saying, "This is sweet, this is sweet!" because we were beating a rated team by 20 points. That made me feel great!" · The Lady Lynx finished the season rated second in the Metro, and though they missed a state berth, they broke 15 school records. Although the season ended with an emotional substate upset, the loss soon faded from memories which filled with moments of excellence. -Michele White SHOOT TO KILL!

It kind of hurts to think that high school basketball is over for me. -Kevin Clark '90 --00 W ith a swish, Ryan Meis' three point shot fell through the net an instant before the buzzer sounded. Meis vaulted into the air, and his teammates flooded the floor, engulfing him with hugs. The Lynx had just beaten top ranked Westside. This was but one example of the clutching victories the Lynx gained throughout the year. Although preseason expectations weren't very impressive, with the 89-90 squad returning only five seniors, the team finished the season 14-7, the best record since 1972. One reason for the cagers' success was their depth. In comparison to previous years when there was one standout player, this team had six or seven players capable of scoring more than 10 points a game. In the district game against Tee Jay, for example, Shad Coppock scored 29 points, Dan Dahir 21 , Jason Brink 18, and Dan Miller 17. With only two of the 15 varsity players under six feet tall, rebounding also became a strength of the team. The guys chalked up an average of 35 rebounds a game, seven more than last year. The Lynx also found that close relationships played a part in their success. "I think the togetherness of the team helped us in some of the closer games," said Rob Heitman '90. " Everyone played in summer leagues and did things together. Sometimes we would all go to IN A DEFENSIVE STANCE at the district game against Tee Jay, Dan Miller tries to stop Ryan Koch. The Lynx won the game in double overtime 96-93, placing them in the district final against Harlan.

"Our relationship with Coach Koch is one of great admiration and respect" , said Shad Coppock '90. "We trusted that everything he told us would work out, whether in life or in basketball," said Shad Coppock '90. "That helped us play with confidence." As the Lynx entered tournament play, some fans predicted another state appearance. After a hard fought district win against cross-town rival Tee Jay, the team faced Ha rlan for a chance at substate. But when the buzzer sounded, the Lynx came up short five points of going to State. "Going into the game, we were confident since we had beaten them before," said Dan Miller '90. "We should've won the game, but we had a .lot. of problems in the second half. It was a disappointing loss, but afterwards, Coach told us we had to be proud of the grea t strides we made for AL.

Basketball 109 JUSTIN FOR Swimmers practice hard to improve all season long 00:----- S u cc es sin swimming is a combination of working hard in the pool, endurance, and having a positive mental attitude while preparing tor the races. Aaron Thatcher '91 --00 WARMI N' UP. To prepare herself for a hard practice, Amy Johnson uses the kickboard to stretch her legs. (Photo by Kristi Kuper) 110 Sports B efore competing at State, Aaron Thatcher '91, got his good luck charms together, donned his good luck boxers, and psyched himself up as he listened to the crowd cheering. But these weren't the reasons he dropped four seconds off his individual medley to place third and two seconds off his I 00-yard freestyle to place seventh in the state. Thatcher's improvement was a result of the 1200 laps a week he swam while fighting the drag created by three to four swimsuits. Although Thatcher was the star of the team and the only state qualifier, the rest of the team was just as successful in making individual improvements. By the end of the season, Jeff Mcintosh '92, had taken I 5 seconds off his I 00 butterfly and Charles Richey '93, dropped 30 seconds in the 500-free. Boys' coach Dave Hook said everyone took off time in at least one event at Districts, and some improved in two or three events, with many swimmers dropping two to four seconds. "Districts was a good way to end the season," Thatcher said. "I think everyone swam well because we settled down and quit messing around the week before Districts. We all concentrated on swimming and became more of a team." Although the boys could immediately devote their energy to cutting time because they already knew the basics, the girls' improvement came much later in the season. ALL RIGHT.

"They needed to strengthen themselves and perfect their stokes, turns, and starts before actual improvement could take place." . But after perfecting the basics, many girls put forth extra effort to cut time. . " I always wore ripped up suits with mat~hing tights," said Beth Linberg '93. "The more npped the suits got, the more resistance there was and the harder I had to work. When you go from four scraggly suits to one skimpy suit, you can really tell the difference." Such hard work paid off as the Lady Lynx cut dozens of seconds off their times. . "We worked so hard during the yea r, and I improved so much," said Kelly Knudson '93. "All my times dropped a Jot. At Metro, I dropped 20 seconds in my 200 free." Swimmers found that improving was tough, but with a lot of practice, they could overcome obstacles. _ Jane Johnson BUTTER-FLIER.

Swimming 111 STRUGGLING Boys', girls' tracksters battle illness, injury all season long 00--- I hurt my arm throwing discus early in the season, but when I was at State, I didn't notice the pain at all. I guess it was mind over matter. Paulette Mitchell --00 J.12 Sports S ilence fell on Drake Stadium's 12,500 fans as P3:ulette Mitchell '92, entered the shot put nng. As soon as the shot left her hand, it was easy to see Mitchell would defend her title. Her throw of 45'8" outdistanced Burlington's Tonya Culpepper's by four inches, beat Mitchell's own personal record, and ranked her fourth in the nation. Exiting the ring to a standing ovation, Mitchell earned her second State shot put title in as many tries. " I worked hard all season to improve my throws," said Mitchell. "Early in the season, I hurt my arm throwing discus and had to baby it. Then when I missed the CB Relays with a high fever, I had to work even harder to prepare for State." Like Mitchell, other tracksters struggled to conquer injury and illness, which plagued both the girls' and boys' squad throughout the season. Just weeks before the metro tournament, Becky Ratashak '90, was sidelined with a strained groin muscle. Yet, when she got back on the track, Ratashak and teammates Heather Haines '92, Teena Schultz '91 , and Barb Paulson '90 defended their 4x800 meter relay metro title. "I was scared to run on my leg, but it felt great once I got going," said Ratashak. " And we ended up running the fastest time in the state that race." "IS THIS WHERE IT HURTS?" With a gentle touch, Kevin Spalti rubs Cramergesics, a muscle soothing ointment, on Barb Paulson's leg before she runs at the metro track meet on May 2. (Photo by Ericka Wellman) SA WIN' LOGS.

(Photo by Kellie Botrell) Just as the girls overcame hurdles, the boys encountered their share of disappointment. Senior sprinter Chris Sorensen suffered a pulled hamstring in the second meet of the year and never fully recovered, yet he set three records during the season. "It hurt to see the team run without me," said Sorensen. "But I qualified for State while I could, h " even if I couldn't give it my all once I was t er~. Yet another injury scarred the Lynx when sen.1 ~r distance runner Chris Doner developed tenomt1s three weeks before State. "After two weeks on crutches, I threw them out and eased back into my workouts," said Doner. "I ran my worst time at State because I wasn't healed. I can look at my performance and make excuses, or I can say that I went to State and did the best I could." One of the highlights of the season came wh~n boys' MVP Kevin Spalti '90, qualified for State m four events, but even Spalti fell prey to mi fort~n ~. "When we left for State, I felt so sick. I d1dn t even get to run the 400 because I was so exhausted from my first event," said Spalti. "I could have placed in it easily, but I guess being sick was the story of the season and all of us, at one time or another suffered some because of it." -Ericka Wellman GIRLS State Indoor L.C.

(Photo by Kristi Kuper) 114 Sports A s ominous clouds darkened the sky, keeping temperatures below 50 degrees, tennis layers awaited the daily announcements, dreading another practice in the small gym. "The weather was terrible at the beginning of the season, and we spent a lot of time inside," said Molly Mortensen '91. "We needed to get out and compete against each other to gain some confidence." Both the boys' and girls' tennis teams suffered through tough seasons for the love of their sport. In addition to battling the weather, the 33-member girls' team suffered from having only one coach. "Having an assistant coach would have helped the team and Mrs. Andersen out a lot,'' said Lori French '90. "We could have gotten more individual help with specific skills we needed to improve." But despite a disappointing 3-6 record, the girls gained experience and friendships. "Molly Mortensen and I became doubles partners towards the end of the season," said Susan Sanders '92. "We had no experience playing together and one of the first times we played was at the Lewis Central J. V. Invitational. We became friends and got first place in the tournament." The boys' team also had its share of problems finishing with just a 3-5 record. ' "Most of the season we just couldn't pull togeth- er as a team," said Tony Fox '91. "We had probI . / !ems with people being sick and not being at matches for other reasons. We needed to have the whole team at every match with everyone playing up to par." . However, near the end of the season, a 6-3 wm over Atlantic, the defending state champions, proved that the team could be successful. "The match against Atlantic was an example of what we were capable of doing," said Pat Halsted '91. "Everyone put forth effort and contributed t.o the win. But that was close to our last match, and it was hard to make a big difference at that point." Another time when the boys pulled together was at the city tournament, where they were in last place after the singles scores were tallied. . " After the singles scores were tallied, we decide~ we needed to pull together in doubles competi- tion," said Jason Johnson '92. "The second and third seed doubles teams placed first, and the t.op seed team placed second, helping the team finish second." Although both teams faced many obstacles, the season proved to be rewarding. -Michele White A LITTLE ADVICE from Coach Diane Andersen during a tough singles match at Ralston helps Mindy Stone win 9-7.

Finishing the course two strokes under par, Cover wa lked over to the gallery with tears in his eyes. With a team score of 298, Cover and the boys' golf squad had just shot A L's best ever game at the city tournament, breaking the city record. "It was the neatest feeling to play that well and have everyone there support me," said Cover. "All the guys were cheering and carrying on. Then, when we were walking back to the clubhouse, it got really quiet, almost like we were going to cry or something." The boys didn't stop making history at the city tournament. The biggest highlight of the season came when the team qualified for State, taking second place honors at Districts May 18. A week later on May 26, five anxious golfers and their families formed a caravan to the state meet, a trip that hadn't been made in nearly 20 years. "At the beginning of the season, we didn't really think we had a chance at State," said Nate Jungman '90. "But after our first match, we knew it was a possibility. No one ever came out and said it was in the bag, but I think deep down inside, we all knew we had it in us." Earning the trip to State was no small task for ---00 the boys, though.

"We stayed after ptactices to play an extra nine holes, we played in the rain, and we concentrated on every single shot," said Heitman. Like the boys, Lady Lynx golfers made their mark in the record books. Senior Karlin Sedlacek was the first girl in six years to break 100 at the Lady Lynx Invitational for first place honors, and Sarah Chambers '91 was runner-up medalist, shooting 101. ' As well as finishing strong in their own invitational, the girls placed second in the Tee Jay Invitational, took the city crown, and ended the season 6-l. "After the city tournament, we were so pumped to get to State," said Chambers. "Going into Regionals, we had high expectations for ourselves. AL has never had a girls' team make it to State, and we knew we had all the potential to qualify. I think we were over confident because we just fell apart." Both teams used ability and determination to prove a point to skeptics all season Jong. "There were golfers from other teams who said our success was just luck," said Jungman. "We knew we earned and deserved our success, and we proved that when we made it to State." -Ericka Wellman SPIC-N-SPAN. At the end of a muddy practice, Michelle Daneaux scrubs her golf clubs.

Ronda Larson '90 - -00 A PRACTICE FLIGHT. Goalie Sid Leytham practices diving for the ball on th e field after school. (Photo by Kristi Kuper) teadily, a cold rain fell as 22 girls peered out of their foggy car windows and watched the soccer field turn to mud. The opposing team hadn't shown up yet, and the girls hoped it wouldn't. Anxiously, they sat back and waited for the official cancellation, but it never came. A bus turned slowly into the parking Jot. Dreading yet another game of "mud soccer," the girls crawled reluctantly out of their warm, dry cars and trudged onto the field . The girls' and boys' soccer teams played a majority of their games in cold wind, rain, and mud. Nonetheless, both teams found they could beat not only their opponents, but Mother Nature as well. In a rainy game against Lewis Central, the I 0-6 boys proved their abilities despite an occasional mishap. "Since it had been raining for about ten minutes " said Josh Eyre '91, " the field was slippery. One' of our forwards crossed the ball to me right in front of the goal. _It would have been t~e p~r~~ct shot if I hadn 't slipped before I could kick 1t. But quickly adjusting to bad conditions, the Lynx were able to control their offense and beat LC 3-0. When Mother Nature cooperated, the Lynx were truly able to show their stuff. Putting together a strong defense, they held number one-ranked Creighton Prep to a 0-0 regulation game. Never having scored against Prep, the Lynx were nervous going into the shoot-out. "I'VE GOT IT!" yells Kurt Kenoyer as he sprin ts to challenge Tee Jay's Kevin Mabbitt fo r the ball. The Lynx edged Tee Jay 1-0. (Photo by Kathy Westphal) After Mark Mc Kern . '92, scored the winning penalty shot for AL, Eyre turned to Jeremy Gillette '91, and yelled, "Do you realize we just beat Prep?!" . Also facing stiff competition and rotten weather, the Lady Lynx broke even at 6-6. "I thought we'd do better than we did 'with all of our starters back," said Angie Koenig '90, " but we started out playing the metro's four toughest teams." The Muscatine Invitational proved to be the season highlight and a nerve-racking experience. As rain soaked the fi eld, players found ball control was minimal. Tied 1-1 with Muscatine as the final whistle blew, Koenig knew it would be hard to stop the shoot-out penalty kicks. "When Muscatine's Jennifer Williams shot the ball and it slipped between my hands, I couldn't believe it," said Koenig. "We had to go into sudden death because we had tied the shootout, too." In the end, Shelly Leeper '90, put a powerful shot into the far corner of the goal, winning the game 2-1 and earning the Lynx a third place title. Occasionally, the girls were even able to turn the weather to their advantage. "The strong winds really carried our throw-ins punts, and shots," said Trisha Alba '92. ome~ times it was the key to starting our offense." As the season came to a close, it was clear that even Mother Nature was no match for either of the Lynx soccer teams.

A/together, I had four points for the season and a lot of fun. Kelly Dunlop --00 s music blarred from the radio, 14 guys in brightly colored uniforms stormed the A gym for the biggest game of the season. When the music ceased, a voice filled the gym. With a personal touch, Dan Dahir '90, easily mistaken for Dick Vitale, introduced each player. When Kevin Spalti '90, rose, from the bench, Dahir announced, "For the South End Metropolitan, we have the man who wishes he were as physically gifted as a pair of tube socks .. . Larry Ssssockman!" The intramural championship game was underway. Complete with student coaches, referees, and scorekeepers, the championship game was played in front of the student body for the first time ever. Although the championship game was played during seventh hour, players rose before the sun to take part in intramural shenanigans all season long. "It was the rivalry that got me up and in the gym by 7 in the morning," said Mike Feierfeil '90, of the undefeated South End Metro champions. "Everybody wanted to be on top, and since that was where my team was, I felt like we had something to prove every morning we played." In years past, intramural basketball gained popularity, but with 12 teams, the two month long 1990 season produced more players than ever. "Our team was called Ultra Pampers Plus so we carried a huge plastic baby bottle around during games. I guess you could say it was our mascot," BREAKTIME.

"Last year we wore diapers, but we've grown up some since then; we got potty trained over the winter." Coaches also got involved in the excitement. "One morning, I bribed the guys. I bought them donuts and told them they had to let me play," said Kelly Dunlop '90, who coached the South End Metro. "We were killing the other team, so they sent me in, gave me the ball, and I scored. My total points for the season were four." But the season wasn't all fun and games. According to Sid Stowe '92, sometimes players lost their tempers in the heat of battle. "In one game which we were favored to win, the score was close and the ref called a foul on Brian Bashore ('90)," said Stowe, of the VIP's. " Bashore protested the call and things got a little out of hand. On his way off the court, he hit a wall and broke his hand." Despite occasional hot tempers, players said the main reason for playing was to have a good ti m~. "Even though it was just a game, there was still that friendly rivalry," said Brett Nation '90, Under Six's leading scorer. "Sometimes it got out of hand, but it was all in the name of fun ." -Ericka Wellman MONKEY BUSINESS.

When it was over, I felt like we had eaten more than the 13 bananas. each that we actually did. I guess I did it mostly for my ego, but when the whole thing was done, I felt full, very full. " Swartz and Gibson were two students who would do anything for a laugh, and they weren't alone. Many students found it necessary to pull amusing pranks on their friends. "Je ff Husmann 's car door never locked," said Tyler Woods '92, "and his car is a stick, so it was really easy for me to put it in neutral and roll it down the hill. It was hilarious when J eff couldn't find his car. When he found out I did it, he chased me all around the school, and after he finally caught me, he tried to wrestle me down to the ground. It was funny." H usmann wasn't the only victim of a prankster to be both surprised and embarrassed. "For my fifteenth birthday, Krissa Rossbund and Melissa Timm decorated my house with balloons and streamers," said Peggy Murray '93. "I guess the funniest part of it was when I opened my front door and saw an old bra hanging from my flagpole. We had kind of an inside joke about that, but I never thought they would actually hang a bra in my front yard. I was embarrassed." Some students even got people to laugh at them by grossing out their friends during lunch. "At lunch I'd spit up my food on my tray on purpose just to have people tell me that I was the most disgusting person they had ever seen in their life," said Aaron Krauth '92. "It might not have seemed fu nny to some people, but at least I got a good laugh out of it."

Anything for Money As you are walking through the mall, an outfit in the window catches your eye, but as you look into your wallet, the realization hits you. A wallet filled only with some change and the smell of old bills won't buy much. When desires were bigger than pocketbooks, some students decided to do almost anything to make a few bucks. Angie Tilley '91 , worked at Jennie Edmunson to make money, even though she encountered unpleasant jobs. "I have to clean labor rooms. I come in contact with bloody sheets, afterbirth, and placenta." said Tilley. "I also have to dispose of containers of mucus. Just looking as it gives me the squirmies!" 130 Underclassmen "I do it for the money and also beca use I don't ha ve a supervisor looking over my shoulder a ll the time, but I do love my job. "I work with neat people and I like what I do, even though some of it's gross!" While Tilley worked at the hospital cleaning up messes, Tom McGuire '90, made money sitting at sewing machine. "This guy told me he bought this baggy pair of pants I liked at Younkers for $30," said McGuire, "so I went and bought two pairs. I didn't want to pay that much for pants any more, so I went to the fabric store and bought some cheap fabric and made some. After that, my friends started asking me to make them a pair so I make a bout I 0 to 12 a week a nd sell them for $15apair. "It's kind of funny because I just got out my mom's sewing machine and started sewing. I guess you could say I taught myself. I don't know what I'll do if it ever runs out of thread because I have no idea how to load it." . McGuire sa id he has made a pproximately $300 selling the pants at school and a t Club Soda. -Mollie Lewis BIG TIME TAILOR. Entrepreneur Tom McGu~re finishes sewing another pair of pants.

Anything but That Fingers scraping across the chalkboard, aluminum foil touching braces, and wet willies plunging in ears all sent chills up students' spines. But these weren't the only things that bugged students to no end. They said some of their most annoying moments occurred at the dentist's office, at porn pon tryouts, and even in the school librar:v while taking PACT tests. · "I'll never forget this time at the dentist's when I got my tongue caught in my braces. It was awful because I couldn't get my tongue unhooked from my wires. I couldn't even talk. I didn't know what to do, and I was getting scared. Finally, I got it loose, but I just hated it." Becky Ratashak '90 "Heather Williams is totally obsessed with her fingernails. I hate it because she's always making annoying tapping noises. It drives me crazy. It makes me want to rip her fingernails out!" Kristi Knoernschild '92 " In two words I can describe the PACT's: they suck. The first section was pretty easy because I basic ally knew the answers. But when I got to the math section, everything went downhill. I forgot those theorems, so I got frustrated. I felt like saying 'Hey! I quit! I want my money back!' I can't b elieve I paid $5 to take that test." Curt Kenoyer '92. "The day before porn pon tryouts, I was so nervous I could not eat or sleep. It was nerve racking because I didn't feel like I knew the dance well enough . On the day of tryouts, I was practicing with some other girls and they looked better than me, so I got more nervous. When I tried out, I totally messed up. Afterwards, I went home and just sat there thinking how awful I'd done. Basically, it was a bad experience." Lori Lowman '93. "The way some people eat is absolutely disgusting. They don't chew their food right, and they make obnoxious noises. There's nothing worse than sitting down to eat and the person across from you has food hanging out of their mouth. It makes me want to throw up." Deborah Hoga n '91 SQUEEEEECH ...

Anything to .Get a Date Laiden with books, a girl approached her locker, fumbled with the combination, and opened the metal door, surprised to find a beautiful red rose peeking out from the top shelf. Alongside the rose was a card which she promptly opened. A smile stole across her face as she read the words, "Would you like to go to homecoming with me?" This story is just one example of the lengths to which some students went to get a date with that special someone. Some even risked embarrassment to get their dream date. "I wanted to go out with a guy in my algebra class," said Nikki Johnson '91, "so I always asked him for help during class. One night I decided to call him supposedly 134 Jeremy Holeton 9 Julie Hollinger 9 Todd Hollinger JO Chris Holmes JO Jill Hovinga JO Nichole Hudson 10 Stacy Hudson 9 Pat Hughes 10 Jeremy Hutchens 10 Justin Hutchens 10 Chad Hutchison 10 Tina Jackson 9 Brian Jaco 9 Melody Jaco 11 Sarah Jacob 9 Jeri Janz 9 Kelly Ja rvis 9 John Jensen 11 Matt Jensen 9 Scott Jensen 10 Amy Johnson JO Clinton Johnson JO Jason Johnson to Ni kki J ohnson 11 Rachel Joh nson 10 Tony Joh nson 11 Chris Jones 9 Greg Jones 9 Jaimee Jones 9 Penny Jones 10 Jeremy Jones 9 Amy Judkins 9 Kristina Kachulis 10 Diane Kalar 9 Kerry Karis JO Rio Katzenstein 11 Va lerie Katzenstei n 10 Susan Keast to Kerry Keegan 10 Chad Keeney to Underclassmen about algebra, but really to ask him out. When I asked him how to do one of the problems, he said, 'That's the one we did in class, remember?' I was so embarrassed. I had to ask him out, and thankfully, he accepted." Another student willingly suffered embarrassment for the sake of a date. When Pat Gibson '91, met a girl from Omaha, he knew he wanted to take her out. One evening, he went to her house, knocked on her window, and sang to her. "When the song was over, she agreed to go out with me," said Gibson. "It was embarrassing, but it worked." Date-getting techniques were not all so extraordinary. Stephanie Knauss '92, sat in her sixth period class and admired the guy across the hall. He, in turn, admired her. "I decided to write him a little note," said Knauss. "After that, he sta rted calling me and eventually he asked me out. " One student said if he was going to ask a girl out, he'd do something more romantic than note-writing. "Ifl really wanted to go out with a girl," said Tyler Woods '92, ''I'd take a dozen roses to her house. I'm just a hopeless romantic. " Some embarked on embarrassing escapades while others sent sweet-smelling roses, but many found they were willing to do just about anything for a date. - Melissa Feller Lisa Keim II Tony Kellett to Ryan Kelley I~ Christina Kelly 9 Susan Kelly 9 Nancy Kemmish 9 Chad Kenoyer to Curt Kenoyer 10 Vicky Kermeen 11 Mike Kidder 10 Megan Kilbane 9 Ann Killion 11 Jim Killion 9 Robert King 9 Roger King 10 PEEK-A-BOO!

Anything Can Happen 136 Underclassmen From rainy days to wrestling tournaments, students found that a variety of circumstances lurked about to cause even their best made plans to go awry. "My brother and I wanted to go to World's of Fun, so after a while, my parents finally found a day they could both get off of work. After we got there, we had ridden about three rides when it started pouring! Words could not describe how I felt. They did give us some passes to come back, but there wasn't any day that both my parents could get off again, so my mom, brother, and I went back down. I don't think we were meant to go there, because. it rained again that day!" -Christina McManus '92 "For three weeks Becky Ratashak and I had made plans for the Christmas Dance. We started getting ready at 2 p.m., but our dates, Jeff Husmann and Tyler Woods, were at a wrestling tournament. They called us about 7:40 and said they had just gotten done, so we had to call and cancel our dinner reservations at V. Mertz. Becky and I ended up eating at Taco John's in our formals alone because the guys didn't get back until 9:30. We went to the dance, and only stayed for an hour. I was frustrated and disappointed, but I'll always remember it!" -Kari Hannan '90 "Deborah Hogan and I were going shopping in Omaha, but we got lost and drove around for about 20 minutes. My car was running fine. Then it suddenly started backfiring. We went to two gas stations and neither knew what was wrong! I thought, 'Oh great!' I had to call my parents, who were upset because they didn't know I was going to Omaha. When my dad came over, he drove my car home even though I told him not to. We were going up the interstate ramp and my car just stopped! We had to get it towed. My dad was mad! It ended up that the gas line was broken. My plans definitely got screwed up that day." - Molly Spann '91 WHAT A FOX! Putting his AP Biology skills to work, Nathan Klaus skins and dissects a fox.

Anything but Love In the movie "When Harry Met Sally," Billy Crystal says sexual attraction gets in the way of men and women becoming good friends. Although many would agree with Crystal, some students found that platonic relationships worked well and had some advantages. Ryan Meis '91, and Melissa Feller '91, had had a close friendsbip spanning four yea rs. Both Meis and Feller said they are so close that they consider each other brother and sister. One advantage of a platonic relationship is the freedom to be themselves, according to the two friends. 138 Underclassmen "Whenever I'm with Melissa, I can just be myself without having to put on a false front just because I'm going to be around a girl," said Meis. Meis found that one of the advantages of having a close female friend is that he can reveal many of his personal feelings to her that he fears other guys may interpret as weak or unmacho. "We can talk to each other about our other relationships and act as counselors toward one another," said Meis. "Sometimes it's kind of nice just to have a shoulder to cry on when things don't go right or something bad happens." Just as guys found it easy to reveal private feelings to girls, sometimes girls found it easier to talk to their male friends than friends of their own sex. "I feel safer telling Ryan a bout how I feel or what I'm thinking because I know he's not going to tell anyone," said Feller. "Girls are sometimes jealous of each other and may get angry and reveal each other's secrets. It's so great to have a guy for such a good friend. " -Jennifer Sherman JAMMIN.

Looking for a loyal friend, students whisper Don't Say Anything When they were kept, secrets provided a way to talk about and deal with problems. When they were told, they became a source of conflict between friends. Either way, students agreed secrets were a major part of their lives. " Stacy Robicheau and Molly Mortensen are the best people to t ell secrets to because I can tell th em anything, and I never have to worry about them telling anyone else. They are always there for me, and they a.Jways have the answers to my problems. Sometimes I think they know me better than I know myself. I just don't know what I'd do without them sometimes. I just love them both to death ." Kim Dahlgaard '91 " I used to tell one of my friends absolutely everything until one time she told a secret of mine to somebody else. I asked her not to tell anyone, but she did anyway. Now I've lost some trust in her. We 're still friends, but it 's not quite the s ame. I don't feel as comfortable with our friendship anymore. It's strange how one secret can hurt a relationship. The deterioration of a friendship doesn 't happen all at once, but it does happen." Angel Walker '93 " I don't care who it is, if it's a good enough secret, nobody can keep it. Everybody slips once in a while. Like when someone says who they like, it's hard to resist l~ g th a t person. I remember one time Anne Goodman told me she liked Scott H ansen. I ju st couldn 't help myself. I had to tell him!

She hoped it was the sweater she'd shown her aunt l 7 times. Ripping off the flowered wrapping paper, she was shocked to find a pink palm tree that danced in a pot to music. "I opened it and I thought, 'Oh No, is this one of those tropical Barbie dolls?'" she said. "When I pulled it out, I saw this dancing tree. I had to act like I liked it! It's like, 'Oh, thanks, cough cough."' Unlike most unusual gifts that were either thrown away or hid in a closet, Barrier's gift came with the receipt for exchange. Yet she found that the most unusua l gifts are just as hard to take back as the common, never worn sweater. "When they gave me the receipt, I thought, 'Well, I'll just take it back,"' she said. "Then I thought, 'No I can't, besides, maybe it can decorate my closet."' Although gag gifts from family members were not that common, students often received them from friends. These 'gags most often had special meanings. "I gave Haley Evans Crisco Oil last year for her birthday," said Theresa Frieze '92, "Once when we made cookies and greased the pan with bacon grease, we didn't realize it until we bit into those horrible cookies!" Many times gags were given in front of an expectant crowd, usually just to embarrass the recipient. Like Frieze, Ericka Wellman '91, learned the pleasure of embarrassing someone with an unusual surprise, when she gave Chris Anderson '91, a sing-agram for his birthday before football practice. "I was real surprised and very embarrassed when this woman came up, sang a song, and handed me balloons," said Anderson, "but at least everyone else enjoyed watching my face turn red!" -Kelli Smith PLAYING KISSY-FACE.

Wondering what was so important, his friends gathered around him to listen to the conversation. "Indian Hills Nursing Home. Can I help you?" asked the voice at the other end of the phone. "Hi. This is Dudley Miller. Could I leave a message for the ki tchen staff in the morning? . . . I quit! Thanks." Like Miller, students didn't mean to do it, but they occasion ally amused one another wi th the most innocent words.

Slamming on the breaks, she peered out of her window to see if anyone was looking. Quickly, she jumped out, retrieved the hubcap, and stuck it under the seat. Like Robicheau, many students found they didn't need to have the nicest, newest car. These drivers appreciated anything that got them to their destination. "I need to have my own car instead of relying on my parents to take me everywhere, even if my car is a big brown ugly station wagon," said Robicheau. Jennie Meadows '90, said her 1972 Fiat was cheap and it ran. So she didn't mind it wasn't in the best condition. "It's good for a laugh'', said Meadows. ''I'll never forget when this friend of mine was teasing me about my car, and he started to pick it up, and pulled off my bumper." But girls weren't the only ones with less than perfect vehicles. Brian Ferguson '92, said the first time he drove his truck to school, he couldn't get it to start. He tried to jump start it, but the battery smoked, so he had the truck towed. "Another time," said Ferguson, "on my way to school, I was going up Locust Lodge, and all of a sudden, I started rolling backwards down the hill into someone's yard. I sat there thinking, 'What am I going to do? My dad's gonna kill me.' Finally I figured out that the transference box was blown, so the back tires wouldn't move." Ferguson said even though people made fun of his car, he didn't mind. Robicheau said she didn't mind either. "People call my car so many things since it's so huge," said Robicheau, "like the Brady Bunch car, the beast, the party boat and the grocery-go-getter. I guess that's part of having a Chevy Malibu stationwagon. I don't care, though. I used to be embarrassed, but now I don't care." -Coco Foss/and GREASE MONKEY.

"They seemed like they expected it, but when I got around to the boy, he backed off and wouldn't let me kiss him," she said. "After that, I felt really stupid." Foreign exchange students had to adjust to several differences between the culture and customs of America and those of their native country. The biggest difference was the language barrier. "I had a lot of problems communicating with people at first," said Nathalie Baur '90, from France. "I would always carry a French-English dictionary around with me, but if I was speaking with someone and didn't understand something they said, I would ask them what it meant." For example, in Baur's English class in France, she learned that everyone in America would ask her, "How are you?" She was taught to reply, "Very well thank you," but when someone asked her, "How's it goin'?" she had to ask them what they meant because she had learned no American slang.

"I still have some difficulties speaking with people because I'm timid, but I can understand what they say," said Baur. "Now I use my dictionary only to do my homework." Foreign exchange students also had to adjust to differences in American school customs. · Sergio Alvarez '90, said that in Spain, the teacher moved from class to class each period, rather than the students. "I preferred the Spanish way because there were always the same people in my classes," said Alvarez. "Also, here there are students from each grade in the same class, and in Spain, only students in the same grade are in the same class." Benoit discovered that relationships between teachers and students were different from those in France. "I think students here have a lack of respect for teachers," said Benoit. "They joke around a lot as friends. In France, the teachers and students are strictly there to teach and learn." Exchange students struggled to overcome language barriers and foreign customs as they adapted to a new lifestyle. -Michele White Vickie Falcon Mike Feierfeil Wendy Feilen Dan Fichter Stephanie Foss Shelly Ferris Lori French Rob French Mike Frieze Eric Fulfs Walt Furler Jorge Garcia FOREIGN FLOAT MAKERS.

Wearing the stickers was the team's way of dedicating the season to him. While working in a bobcat at the rail yards, Randy accidentally moved a brake which held a bucket of scrap metal, causing it to fall and hit him on the head. After the accident, he was flown to St. Joseph Hospital, and then transferred to University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he died. Randy was to have been the captain of the football team his senior year and he went to state in wrestling his junior year. "It feels strange without him," said Fred Welch '90. "Randy was a nice guy, a womanizer, and a mechanic. Since we grew up together, I considered us brothers." Survivors include Randy's parents Robert and Patricia Geoser of Crescent, brother Russel of Council Bluffs, and sister Nancy of Crescent. "Randy was outstanding - a good athlete and a good student," said Dick Reeves, ounselor. "He will be missed."

"After that, I ran away for a weekend. When I came home my parents had me placed in St. Joseph's alcohol treatment program." With the hospital's group sessions and 12-step program, Bashore was able to deal with his addiction, but like most alcoholics, he found overcoming it was a long process. Brian Schulenberg '90, started drinking his freshman year. "At the end of my sophomore year, I decided that I didn't really know what the use of drinking was," said Schulenberg. "All it was doing was destroying my life." When Schulenberg decided to quit, he was hospitalized. "They took blood tests, and I went to meetings where I learned about codependency," he said. "They taught me that I didn't need to rely on just one thing, like alcohol. Now I get along with my family, and we understand each other." The biggest change Schulenberg endured was transforming himself from an average runner to one of the best in the state. After a season of first place finishes, he placed 16th at State. Seniors Butch Young '90 had a long, more drawn out rehabilitation. "I went home one day and found my parents' checkbook," said Young. "I took it and bought $411 worth of alcohol. Then I stole their car to go to a party." When Young returned, his family sent him to a group home. "In the group home, I went to drug and alcohol therapy sessions, but I didn't overcome my problem. I just faked my way through it," said Young. After causing trouble in the group home, he was discharged and sent to Eldora for five and a half months. "That was the bottom of my alcoholism," said Young. "That's when I really knew I had to stop drinking. It was really hard though because people snuck drugs and alcohol in all the time, but I managed to refuse it. Now if anyone has an alcohol or drug problem, I want to help them, because I know what they're going through." -Michele White LET'S HIT THE ROAD. 8-MADD counselor Dick Miller, Brian Kruse and a police officer load a school bus for a three-day road trip to Washington DC.

For Amy Larsen '90, the change just happened. "I knew I wasn't happy with the way I looked," said Larsen. " I wasn't terribly fat, but I wasn't skinny either. I guess you could've called me frumpy." After Larsen's sophomore year, she began running and then joined the cross country team in the fall. "I started getting so many compliments from my friends about the weight I lost that I kept at it," said Larsen. "I never set a goal, it just happened." Larsen went from a size 12 to a size 3. "Now, when I look in the mirror," said Larsen, " I'm basically pleased, though I may never be totally satisfied because I worry more now about the way I look." In contrast, Joy Andrew '90, said she rarely worries about her appearance after changing her look. "I decided to get contacts my sophomore year," she said, "and from there I decided to let my hair grow longer and went from wearing jeans and sweats to slacks and skirts.

Guys were also concerned with . their appearances. Matt Petersen '90, had long, permed hair, but by his senior year, he found the short, straight "GQ" look to be his preference. Fashion was another major change for Petersen. " I used to pay your basic $50 to $60 for good jeans," said Petersen, "but now my style has changed, and it's not uncommon for me to spend $100 on just a pair of pants." Like Petersen, Nate Jungman '90, also found a change in wardrobe to be important. "I've become much more fashion conscious over the past few years," said Jungman. "Now style and namebrands are more important to me than they ever were before." Tanning sessions also played a part in the new Jungman. "Tanning, along with more fashion sense, has given me a lot of confidence," he said. " I've become more outgoing." No matter what the reason for changing their appearance, or how they went about doing it, students agreed they were happier with themselves for the changes they made. -Melissa Feller ' ' ..

In the back corner, a figure sat alone, too timid to join the others. In most freshman classes this was a typical situation, but after four years of high school, much of the shyness wore off, and more confident, talkative souls emerged. Seniors Becky Baumker ·and Scott Downing said they overcame their shyness through four years of working on publications. Since they had no choice but to interview a variety of people, they became used to talking to others. "In ninth grade I had to interview math instructor Connie Byrnes about her hobby of showing dogs," said Downing. "I was intimidated, scared, and I had no clue as to what I was supposed to do. I had to interview her five times before I did it right. Finally, I went with senior Barb Leu and watched her do an interview. That's how I learned to interview."

By the time Baumker graduated, she had interviewed satanists, illiterates, and victims of homelessness as well as classmates and teachers. "Sometimes I was scared to interview," said Baumker. "My hands shook and my palms sweat, but I forced myself to go in the door, and somehow I always did it." Involvement in sports helped others overcome shyness. "Playing soccer and tennis and being with friends have all helped me," said Jonas Smith '90. "Being more involved than I was as a freshman has helped me make the biggest change. Now I'm more likely to talk to people I don't know." Alison Brown '90, said her job helped her change. "I work at Richman Gordman," said Brown. "I had to overcome my shyness because I have to talk to the customers and deal with the public. I'm much more outgoing now. I'm now more likely to join in a group conversation." From interviewing to playing sports to working, extra curricular activities helped many students cross the shyness b:trrier to become happier, more self confident people. -Mollie Lewis Nick Stom Trede Tawzer Terry Thompson Tammy Thoren David Torkelson Lisa Ulrich Amy Watson Jason Welsh Jeremy Wenninghoff Tony Wesolowski Kathy Westphal Joel Whitman Kim Will Kim Wills Tonia Wilson Meg Wise Heidi Wolff Jason Woods Overcoming Shyness 159 Clark Allen.

Counselor 160 Minutes ticked by as the teacher's voice droned on. Some listened intently to the lecture, jotting down what they considered priceless information. At the same time, others sat impatiently, fidgeting with their pencils, glancing up at the clock, and anticipating the end of class. While this same scene could have been observed by students in classrooms every day, it also could have been seen bi-weekly in the library when teachers stepped out of their roles as teachers and into the role of students. "For most teachers, learning is really not anything new," said Sue Propst, director of human resource development. "Actually, our education never stops after just four years in college. We must be life long learners. " Teachers continued their lifetime of learning at Wednesday in-services. During these sessions, they were taught Tactics for Thinking, a set of skills which once learned by the teacher could be taught to students. According to Linda Smoley, journalism Teachers teacher and Tactics facilitator, these inservices were different from years in the past because all of the teachers worked together as one unified group as opposed to three separate groups. In addition, the information was presented in shorter sessions every two weeks instead of longer sessions four times a year. The eight facilitators involved believed strongly that gaining specific thinking skills was essential to students' success in the future. "In my opinion, tactics for thinking is a very valuable in-service," said Smoley, "considering that we are preparing students for work in the 21st century, when their jobs will require them to be problem solvers instead of just regurgitators of information." However, some teachers disagreed with Smoley and believed that the 45 minute inservices were nothing but a waste of their time. "[ don't know that the in-services are accomplishing what they're supposed to," said L' louise Bowman, foreign language Teachers learn ways to help students think instructor. "There are times when I feel going to them is an infringement on my time because I have other things I could be getting done. But I guess it's a necessary evil, and I have no choice but to put up with it." Although some teachers agreed with Bowman, others felt something useful could be learned from the course and taken to the students. "As far as in-services go, I think this is definitely one of the better ones," said earth science teacher, Christine Fink. "There are so many new techniques and so much different information presented at the meetings that there is a good chance of finding something you can apply in your classrooms, and all students like fresh ideas once in a while." -Melody Barajas NOW THAT'S A PLAN.

If she didn't punch in the right combination of keys, she would have to start the command to print all over again. "The first time I printed on the computer, Mr. Brown said I had seven times to get it right," said Gepner. "I tried and tried to get the right combination of keys and on the seventh chance, I finally got the right keys. I was desperate because by that time, Mr. Brown was gone." After AL won a $50,000 grant for a new IBM computer system, a few teachers found themselves sitting down to a computer for the first time. Some teachers stressed as they adjust to computers "I didn't like learning how to use the new computers because of the fact that I'm a complete computer moron," said Gepner. "But the kids liked using them and that was enough for me." Donald Scheibeler, Latin instructor, also had difficulties with the new computers. He had taken a short course on computers at Kirn but discovered that he didn't even remember how to tum the computer on. "I don't know if I'm right brained or left brained, but I do know computers make me scatterbrained, Scheibeler said. "I just don't understand computers at all." Although the new computers were difficult for some teachers, eventually most found them easier to use than expected. Marsha Grandick, English teacher, discovered they weren't that bad. "When we got the new computers, I thought, 'Oh no!' because I was comfortable with the Apples," said Grandick, "but my old skills carried through." Fortunately, those who needed help could always count on their colleagues to turn to for support. With Larry Brown's great patience to answer my questions, I've learned how to use a computer," Gepner said. "I figured if Mrs. Smoley can use them, so I can I." -Kristi Knoernschild Richard Reeves.

Teresa Spencer '90 and Jim Nichols '91, found doing favors for the elderly could be rewarding. "I got into the Meals on Wheels program through my church," said Spencer. "One of the ladies we brought dinner to left a mint on the tray for me. I guess it was just her way of saying thank you." While Spencer and Nichols regularly travelled across town to deliver meals, 81 students chose to help by taking a short walk to the gym to donate blood. The student council sponsored the drive for the Red Cross on Nov. 1 when 81 pints of blood we!"e otc a collected, 11 more than the goal. "I was a little nervous at first, since I'd never given blood before," said Arwin Adams '90. "After it was over, I felt a lot better knowing that I helped someone." Going that extra mile meant some found themselves in grade schools helping kids understand the pressures of growing up. "When we visited schools, the kids asked everything from what people were wearing to whether freshmen are tortured by upperclassmen," said Heather Haines '92. "It was rewarding to know they looked up to us and that we may have influenced them in a good way." Although giving up time to volunteer might have been a burden to some, many students found it was something they couldn't get enough of. -Heidi Neighbors Ads Division 165 FAMILY EYECARE CENTER DR.

we were just kiddin' around When our parents remember the 80's, they may think of the Iran Contra scandal, Reagan's attack on Lebanon, and the hostage crisis. But when we remember the 80's, we'll think of field trips, puppy love, kooties, and hula hoops. When students were asked to recall memories from the carefree decade between their diapers and diplomas, many came up with the following incidents. A swarm of girls giggled in embarrassmen.t on the right side of the gym, and boys clustered to the left. The dance floor was dotted with a few " crazy" kids break dancing. It was the sixth grade dance at Hoover, and Mike Merit was the disk jockey. He was told not to play any slow songs, but he played "We are the World" anyway. BABY TALK. With a teddy bear and pacifier, Ericka Wellman reenacts her childhood days by dressing up as a toddler. Wellman wore the costume for Halloween 1989. (Photo by Kate Shea) "I was asked to keep the music clean and upbeat for obvious reasons," said Merit. " After the dance, the principal told me he was disappointed because kids left the dance to do other things," said Merit, "I guess he attributed that to me playing one slow song."

Rori 86 fifth grade was the first year the girls and boys were separated to watch "Girl Into Woman" and "Boy Into Man." After the film, Melanie Hatcher gathered enough nerve to ask what a sperm looked like, as the whole class laughed hysterically. "Melanie kept asking the girls around her what one looked like," said Michelle Rief '91. "Finally we just told her to ask the teacher. I never thought she'd do it.

At Madison school, the Class of 1991 found kindergarten a year of confusion. As the children entered the room and saw what seemed like a thousand unfamiliar faces, they noticed two which were identical. Few learned to tell Chad and Scott Tho,r;nas apart.

One day, Mr. Benson, the P.E. teacher, talked the boys into switching clothes to make Miss Smith think she was losing her mind. "When Chad and Scott came in and sat in their assigned seats, on opposite sides of the room, Miss Smith turned to one of them and asked why he was in the wrong chair," said Ericka Wellman '91. "When the other boy answered her questions from the opposite direction, she only got more confused. By the end of the ordeal, I don't think anyone knew who was who." Students often refer to school as "prison," but some took the term literally. Shouting, "Escape from Alcatraz!" third grader Scott Brandenburg jumped out Mrs. Stuppuhn's window at Gunn following an a rgument over homework. "I saw it as an easy exit," said Troy Gibler '91 , "so I jumped out after him. I went back to school after class, but Scott ran all the way home."

One day at the Bleu Ox, I looked up just as Ruth Fitch put a straw in her glass. I said, 'Stop! Don't use that straw!' She looked at me funny and asked, 'Why?' I said, 'It's nonbiodegradable.' She said, 'You're right,' and put the straw down. After that, everyone started drinking without straws.

In no time, nearly 150 students swarmed from their fifth hour classes to the lot in an attempt to save cars from being towed. "It all started when one guy backed onto the grass to keep his car from being towed," said Dan Dahir '90, who viewed the scene from his P.E. class. "Then some guys went and sat on their friend's car so it couldn't be hooked to the truck. I think the whole thing came as a shock to students because no one had been enforcing the parking rules until then. Granted, things got a little out of hand, but I don't think we should have to pay to park and then get towed off just because we aren't parked between lines. The parking lot protest, in which 28 students were suspended for insubordination, was simply a continuation of a year long risk-taking trend at AL. One month later, teachers ended the year by taking a stand and abandoning the status quo. After much talk all year long that too many studemts were failing in AL's traditional setting, more than 30 teachers volunteered to serve on a transformation committee. The committee began researching and studying successful, non-traditional approaches of other schools to simi- (Continued on p. 199) F IGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT.

Gawking in disbelief, Russel Borwick, Tori Christie, David Gaupp, Jeremy Gillette, and Ryan Olson look at the 22 goldfish in the bed of instructor Ron Lakatos' truck. The fish were put in the truck by instructor Mike Tripp and several students as a prank. "We left Mr. Lakatos' class fourth hour so we could see his expression when he went outside," said Borwick. "He thought it was as funny as we did. We teased him the rest of the day." (Photo by Kristi Kuper) H OMEMADE HOMEWORK. During second hour honors English, Nikki Johnson and Melissa Feller taste their final project made of brownies and other candies. Students were required to do a project on As I Lay Dying, a book they had read in class. Felix and Johnson constructed a scene from the book to convey its theme. "It took me almost to hours altogether to finish the project, but it was worth it to see it finally done," said Johnson. (Photo by Kathy Westphal) Closing L OVER'S QUARREL.

Meanwhile, assistant principal Ron Diimig tries to calm people down and get them back to class. More than 200 students filled the hallway during fifth hour until a meeting was scheduled to discuss the matter. "We got our views out, and the admin istration reacted fairly to them," said Sarah Lash.

"But then I started harassing people because they couldn't see me inside the costume." (Photo by Melody Jaco) Closing II Jar problems and looked forward to a total restructuring of AL by 1992. As the year ended, it was easy to see that students and teachers alike prided themselves in their try-anything-once spirit. Trying things became a ritual for the drama department. After producing two student-directed plays, a musical, and the Follies, drama students put on yet another musical, the Fantastiks, in May. "We kept bugging Mr. Brockway to let us do another musical even though we didn't have much time," sa id Tena N elson '90. "Finally, he told us we had enough ta lent to pull it off, so we might as well give it a shot. " Taking cha nces didn't stop in the a uditorium though. It spread into the hallways in March when more than 200 students staged a sit-in in front of the office after the administration canceled the 26-minute homeroom period. "Some people said we were out of line by planting ourselves in the hall," said Michelle Price '91. "I think we were well within our rights. I think the administration finally realized we were ready to be an active part of the school." One week later, Principal Fred Frick told the faculty that homeroom would be reinstated due to student demand. From the parking lot, to the hallways, to the stage, 1990 proved to be the year we'd try anything once. -Ericka Wellman s IEZE THE DAY!

Temperatures soared above 100 degrees, causing classes to be let out ea rly for almost three weeks. With afternoons free, students found plenty to do. "A bunch of us went cliffdiving in Logan when we got out of school early," said Craig Mauer. "It was scary because the cliff wall sticks out eight feet before it hits the waler, but that made it exciting, too. "After a while, we started to do some crazy stuff like jumping out of trees, just so we could get higher and jump farther."

Wilks understood the players' anticipation, and as AL's new principal, he shared their excitement. Along with Wilks came new ideas. His banning of the latea rrival policy sent students to their desks by 8: 10 a.m., whether they liked it or not. " I think it's stupid," said David Gau pp. "Students can leave a seventh hour study hall but can't be late for one first hour. I don't see the logic behind it." Second semester, Wilks introduced another brainchild. Students who had dropped out or were at risk due to family problems or past academic failures were offered an alternative. Designed to help them get credits needed to graduate or catch up, a night program called "School Within A School" was suggested. Planned for Room 111 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, the program was to include a remedial course in continued on page 5 +"My mom was the first one of about 20 people to hit me right square in the face with a pie.

"Making All-State for four years is the greatest honor I could receive as a high school music student," said Capel.

But those who took the time to get the real scoop knew we were anything but typical. During Homecoming week, we revealed a unique side of our personalities as we donned horn rimmed glasses and polyester outfits, proving we were nerds at heart. "It was more than just coming up with the best costume," said Brian Stoufer. "It was a competition to see who could be the best nerd." Another one of our unique talents was unveiled as we performed the opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors. "Amahl was special because a group of kids got together who had never done an opera before and did something so wonderful that p eople in the audience sat and cried," said lead Teri Herron. Herron wasn't the only one to move an audience to tears by doing something unusual. As a surprise for their Christmas Dance dates, Molly Spann and Deborah Hogan had a tape made of the accompaniment to When I'm with You, by Sheriff. Before the dance, the girls played the tape and sang to their dates. "We told them we had a surprise and made them close their eyes, " said Spann. "When the music started, we told them to open their eyes, and we started singing. We thought they 'd laugh, but we sang so seriously, they c rie d ." Although some thought we were just like ever y one else, those who got t he real scoop knew we went out of our way to be a n ything but typical. -Michele White Doing odd jobs to earn a few extra bucks, betting a dollar for the thrill, or struggling to survive on our own, each of us found one of the biggest factors in our life was ... one 8 Speeial Edition Odd jobs offer bucks, freedom When the words "part time · job," conjured up visions of hard-nosed bosses, irrate customers, and Jong hours, some students opted to earn their bucks doing jobs that offered independence and convenience. Thirty-five out of JOO students polled said they relied on odd jobs for money. Some students said odd jobs provided them with more freedom and independence than a regular part time job. "Mowing lawns and painting houses gives me more freedom," said Jeff Steinke. "When I worked at One Potato Two, I wasn't my own boss." Babysitting also allowed students freedom from having a boss looking over their shoulder. "I babysit a ten-year-old named Casey Lorimor, who has Down's Syndrome," said Deann Klever. "He is the most loving, caring, and affectionate boy I have met. He tells me that he loves me and that I'm his favorite babysitter. He even asked me to be his girlfriend. He is so special to me." Twenty-three of the 35 students who relied on odd jobs said convenience was the main reason they chose odd jobs over part time employment. "I hoe beans for my dad in the mornings," said Jenny Schultz. "I live in Crescent so it's easier to do things around my house than drive into town."

There was $4 in the pot, and Hiffernan bluffed and took it all. "I was really taking a chance because I only had a three," he said. "If I'd Jost, I would have had to match the pot. I was pretty lucky to win." Of I 00 students polled, 92 said they gambled, and most cited easy money and victory as main reasons. "When I first started playing poker," said Bill Shipley, " I played only for the money. Chad Sumpter thought he was so great because he was winning some of the games, but I ended up winning all of the money, and the thrill of victory was worth almost as much as the money." Students said playililg cards and betting on sports were the most popular ways of gambling. "The week of the World Series, everyone in my neighborhood puts $1 in a big pool," said Mindy Workman. " One year I won $9. I don't bet a lot of money, so if I lose, it's no big deal, but it's really fun to win." Like Workman, more than half of the 92 students didn't bet large amounts of money. In fact, many found a lterna tives to money for betting. " Aimee Hayes and I played cards one night and we bet nail polish instead of money," said J enni Miller. " We bet on colLET'S MAKE A DEAL!

Gambling was popula r with most students and provided a way to have fun with friends. -K im Gift Self supporting students face tough times living alone L ayers of dust covered the two battered chairs, a table, and the few shelves in the sparsely furnished room. Piles of clothes littered any empty space on the old shag carpeting. The darkness of the afternoon almost hid the chipped paint on the wall where a huge picture of Jesus hung crookedly. For Jason Kuhn, a student who had been selfsupporting. for 10 months after his mother kicked him out of his house, this single room served as both the living room and the bedroom of the apartment that he .bad to call home. Like the other students who were self-supporting, Kuhn found that living on his own created many problems. Having to pay for all necessities didn't leave much money for the extras in life. "I have been wanting to buy a T.V. for a really long time," said Kuhn, "but I never seem to have enough money,_ because I need to pay $135 for rent on time every ~mgle month, plus I need other money to buy my grocenes." Angie Tilley, who was self-supporting for seven months before she decided to move back home, also found that money could grow very scarce at times. "When I moved out on my own, I had just enough money to get everything I needed to make it " said Tillie. ":hen I ~ot really sick and had to pa'y several doctor balls, which set me far behind on the rest of my bills. It's harder than anything to get back on top when you are out on your own. You don't have anybody to help you out!" The need for such large amounts of money forced self-supporting students to work between 30 and 40 hours a week just to survive on their own. In the case _of Alex Domingus, who didn't live on his o~n but. contnbuted half his pay checks to help support has fa m1l~, the hours at work were long and his job had to come farst before any extra-curricular activities. " I had bought tickets to the Halloween dance for my girlfriend and me, but at the last minute I was called to work, so we weren't able to go," said Domingus. "I felt really bad for my girlfriend, who wanted to go because she was really excited about it but I realized how much my family and I need the mon~y." Another problem that self-supporting students encountered was that because they had no one to answer to, school sometimes became a last priority. When instructor Jacque Hall conducted a study in her junior English classes, she discovered that the more hours students worked a week, the worse their attendance became. The study also showed that grade point averages decreased as student work hours TIME TO WASH. Getting ready to wash his clothes, J ason Kuhn stuffs them into a washing machine at a laundry mat. (Photo by Kristi Kuper) increased. "One night after work, I went out with some of my friends and partied until 3 a.m.," said Kuhn, "The next day I spent lying in bed sleeping instead of going to school. It's a lot easier to stay home now because nobody yells at me for skipping school." Those who took on the responsibility of becoming self-supportive discovered that along with the freedom, came several difficulties. -Haley El'ans Money 9 "When I bought my first piece of expensive jewelry, it was like a high," said Sarah Weber. " I was excited because I was finally buying a real ring, not one of the cheapies I used to buy at Claire's or Afterthought's for two bucks. I felt like there was something important on my fi ngers. I've been buying rings ever since." Weber wasn't alone in developing a taste for fi ne jewelry. Of students polled, 50 percent said they had spent at least $100 on a piece of jewelry, and 18 percent said they owned more than five pieces of fine jewelry. Students craved expensive jewelry because of its looks and durability. The most popular pieces included rings, watches, and necklaces. " If I'm going to spend money on a ring, I want it to be durable so it won't tarnish or bend," said Misty Moore. "I want to be able to wear it all of the time and not have to worry about taking it off to do dishes, shower, or work in the yard." The high cost of fine jewelry ca used many students to rely on store sa les, layaway pla ns, or loans. "When I bought my emerald ring, I took ha lf of the money from my savings account, a nd my mom a nd dad put up the rest of it," said Melissa Feller. "Then I made weekly payments of $20 to them until I paid them back." N o longer for nerds, it's GLASSES GALORE From polyester bell-bottoms to gaudy flowered skirts, from flyaway pigtails, to greasy, slicked-back hair, everyone interpreted Nerd Day differently. There was one thing, however, that everybody wore - a pair of coke-bottle thick glasses with masking tape across the nose. But times were changing. Glasses were no longer just for the Poindexters of America. They were becoming trendy fashion statements. Designer frames and the variety of looks they created prompted many to wear glasses. "I wear a green pa ir at Christmas because they ma tch the season," said Emilee Applegate. " I a lso wear a white pair with this totally black outfit for contrast." Fake glasses for under $IO allowed even those with perfect vision to wear fashionable frames. "I got fake glasses because I thought they looked good," said Jason Johnson. " People told me they make me look older and more intelligent. I have a young looking baby face, so I like to look older." Whether worn for variety or a new image, glasses were definitely not just for nerds. -Kelly Knudson PRECIOUS GEMS.

"I even went into Gigi's, and I hate that store," said Feller. Finally, the two approached the Dillard's men's department. "Right away I saw the shirt I liked, a purple and white striped Liz Claiborne shirt for men. Scott laughed when I went in to try it on, but he said he would wear it. I bought it and I love it." Like Feller, many girls preferred men's apparel to women's. A few years ago, such taste may have been labeled weird, but in 1990, simple style and comfort made men's clothing a perfect fit. Out of 88 girls polled, 63 said they wore men's apparel because it was comfortable. "It seems men's clothes are made bigger and looser around the shoulders," said Deann Klever. "Girls' clothes are a lot tighter." Janella Matter agreed. "Men's shirts are baggier and you have more room to inove around," said Matter. "I love that!" While most girls stuck to sporting shirts and sweaters, some found that men's jeans were more comfortable too. Using her Christmas money, Jill Comely bought a pair of men's Levi's. "They're cool and they fit better." she said. "They hang on your hips instead of your waist, so there's more room to move." Many girls agreed that although men's apparel usually was not cheaper it was a better value because it . ' was timeless in style. Nikki Johnson often wore Ralph Lauren Polo. "I have bought girls' shirts that I only wear a year, but I still wear my favorite Polo shirt that I bought a couple of years ago, and I know I'll even wear it next year at college," she said. "That's a real value." Not all girls found their first piece of men's apparel by shopping in a department store. Some accidentally came across it at home. "I ran out of clean clothes once, so I stole my brother's," said Matter. "I've worn his shirts ever since. He has great taste in clothes." Many found that once they started wearing men's apparel, it was hard to stop. "My boyfriend had super neat clothes, so I borrowed a shirt once." said Klever. "I got many compliments, so I started buying them." Whether the clothes came from the men's department or a brother's closet, more and more girls were discovering and loving men's apparel. -Lori Fehr W HICH ONE SHOULD I BUY!

But those who were married or planned to be married found that marriage wasn't a fantasy . " You must be responsible when you're married," said Lynn Ruckman, who got married at age 14. "Parents aren't there to run to anymore." One of the hardest things to lea rn was managing money. Shondelle Milligan, who lived with her fiance, said they both worked 40 hours a week to pay for housing and food . Couples also faced difficult conflicts with their parents. "My fiance won't come over unless my pa rents a re out because they're rude to him," said Julie Hollinger, who pla nned to be married in the spring. But most couples fe lt their problems could be overcome. " After we realized the need to budget, we lea rned how to pay our bills and have money left over," said Milliga n. Ruckman also learned to overcome problems. "When Mike a nd I would go to my parents' house, my mom would make rude comments," Ruckman said. " I told her to accept both of us or neither of us.

The answer was Dudley Miller's family, consisting of five boys and four girls who all had names beginning with the letter D. Large families weren't as common as they used to be, but families of four or more siblings still existed. "You're never alone, said Dudley Miller. "When we were little, there was always somebody around to play with, and there's always somebody home when you call." Trisha Alba also enjoyed her three brothers, one sister, and the idea of a new baby on the way. "You have to get used to not always being in the spotlight, but it's really a lot of fun," said Alba. "It's weird now because my mom is having another baby and I'm already .a junior in high school, but I'm getting used to the idea, and it'll be neat having a little baby around again to take care of and play with. My mom said this will be the last one, but I've heard that statement several times before!" The biggest adjustment these children had to make was to financial limitations. Becky Matter remembered one trip to the mall when those limitations kept her from getting new makeup because her little sisters had just gotten new clothes. "I felt jealous and unfairly treated when they got new clothes, and I couldn't even get makeup," said Matter, "but I have learned ·to accept it because I realize we have big bills to pay and we need more money than families with only a couple of kids." Most of these siblings agreed that they liked the size of their family, their own family plans were different from those of their parents.

"Everyone yelled 'Rose Bowl!' and put rose stickers on their cheeks because they were excited to be going to the Rose Bowl. "Towards the end, the refs were making bad calls, so people chanted 'Bad call!' and 'Go home!' We were so loud that Iowa got a penalty for crowd interference! That was one of the first times a visiting team got a penalty like that." Scenes of enthusiastic fans cheering wildly for their favorite teams were familiar to students who attended spirited pro and college games. Hockey fans said football games couldn't compare to the action-packed excitement found at Lancer games, a semi-pro Omaha team known for rowdy players and even rowdier fans. "The players push and shove each other on the ice," said Susan Wells. "The refs try to stop them, but the players fight anyway. We had rinkside seats once and in a fight, a guy's face was crunched up against the glass right in front of me." Unlike many high school games, fans at pro and college games paid attention to the game and got more involved in the action. " At high school games, people act too cool to support their team," said Jenifer Steger. "But at Lancer games, everyone wears Lancer hats, sweatshirts, or the team colors." Crazy crowd antics made even boring games memorable and amusing. " At the Nebraska-Utah State football game, Nebraska was winning by 35 points and it was a boring game," said Brian Swartz. "Some guys sitting near us decided to add a little excitement by making a chain by stacking plastic cups inside each other. "They yelled, 'Give us cups!' and everyone threw their cups at them. That yell spread from section to section, and pretty soon you could see cups flying all over the stadium, all in the direction of those guys. They finally got a giant plastic cup chain about 25-30 yards long." Going to pro, semi-pro, and college games for the spirit and excitement they provided was a popular pastime for many students. -Kelly Knudson PRO PLEASURES.

"We decided to have a party because people like to dance and we were tired of going cruising," said Hall. "When we counted heads, we had 75 people there!" Hall and his friends were like many students who believed that the two never-fail ingredients of a good party were music and friends. In a phone survey of 30 students, 17 said that music was essential to liven up a party. ."I'll never forget the time I went to a party and there ~asn't any music. Everybody JUSt sat around. It was really lame," said Lynnette Lee. "When the music was turned on, everyone started dancing and having fun." In addition to music, friends, old and new, added to the party's fun. Most students said that at least 30 guests were essential for a lively party. "It's the people that make parties so much fun," said Stephanie Knauss. "I would feel out of place if my friends were not at the party with me." No matter how stale the Challenging slopes result in . . .

"Boy, was that a mistake!" she said. "I couldn't sit down for three days, I was so sore from falling. I ended up sliding d~wn the mountain on my butt with my skis in my hand." That fiasco took place almost three years ago. Now Johnson is an "old pro" at skiing black runs. Matt Clark was another " pro" skier who skied at CresCrescent on weekends. "I like trying new and dangerous things," Clark said. "Once my friends and I built a ski ramp and I was trying some new jumps. I went off the ramp and tried a 360 degree twist in the air. "I didn't quite make it all the way around and I landed backwards heading toward a huge tree. After hitting the tree, I learned my lesson. Now I always make sure that I look before I leap." Nate Henson had his own philosophy of skiing. "To be classified as a good skier you have got to be willing to try new and dangerous things," he said.

"There's nothing else to do in Council Bluffs that's legal," said Gina Miller, "besides bungie jumping out of hot air balloons, but that's harder to arrange." Lack of something to do wasn't the only reason students rented movies. "Admission costs so much I have to work two hours to see a movie," said Chad Hutchinson.

Meaningful, romantic lyrics weren't the only reasons students preferred to listen to country. "It's a different type of music," said Chad Nation. "It's a lot calmer and easier to listen to than stuff like heavy metal." The best country artists named by students included Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Clint Black, and Randy Travis.

When the bell rang, she sped down the hallway and out the door. Slamming the door of her mom's car, she said, "Mom, hurry up! Days is on and we find out today if Steve dies!" Walker wasn't the only student who rushed home to catch a soap. A poll of 100 students showed 63 watched soap operas daily. Although some teens watched soaps only occasionally, most found the shows addictive. Deborah Hogan found she was addicted when she began giving up time with her friends so she wouldn't miss any episodes of her soaps. "I watch four soaps and I admit I'm addicted," Hogan said. "I gave up several chances to go to the beach last summer so I wouldn't miss my soaps." But girls weren't the only ones who became obsessed with the soaps. Fifteen boys admitted to being regular summertime viewers. "Last summer, my brother always watched Young and the Restless," said Dustin Fichter. "One day this guy locked up a girl, and I watched to see what would happen. When that problem was solved, there was another. I got hooked!" Although soaps were filled with kidnappings, murders, and affairs, students said situations in soaps were similar to those in real life. They said the situations were so real that they found themselves and their friends discussing the characters' lives as though they were real life acquaintances. "Soaps are fun to watch because the people do stupid things," said Chad Kenoyer. "I hate some of the characters, and it's fun to watch them get screwed over. I'll find kids who watch the same soap and talk about what happens." Some students even relied on soap hotlines or magazines to keep up with the characters. "I got four soap magazines on vacation once," said Kelli Smith. "Soap Opera Digest was best because it told what was going to happen. When I got home, I subscribed to it. Now I have every issue since '87." Whether they watched them occasionally or every day, most students found soap operas provided an enjoyable break from real life. -Kim Gift "DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA GET MARRIED?"

Feel the heat I t was only noon and already students were slumped over their desks, totally drained of energy. As sweat trickled down their backs, they listened half-heartedly to the teacher's lecture and dreamed of their air conditioned houses. Little learning went on when temperatures soared into the high 90's for the first two and a half weeks of school. "My classrooms were absolutely dreadful," said Michelle Edie. "You could barely hear the teacher over the humming fans, and even if you could have beard the teacher, it wouldn't have made any difference because nobody was paying any attention. By the end of the day, the back of my shirt was wet with sweat and my hair was flat." Some relief was found from the unbeareableness of sitting through long, hot classes, however, when the school district allowed 11 early dismissals in the first 12 days of school. "I was so thankful for the half days," said Desiree Golden. "It was so bard to concentrate and stay awake in my morning classes because of the heat, and it would have been much worse if we would've had to stay in school all day long. We did get behind in our classes, but it was a relief to be able to go home to my air conditioned house." While shortened days seemed to benefit most students, some still had to continue with after school activities despite the sweltering temperatures. Cross country runners trudged wearily up and down hills for a half hour to an hour every day; volleyball players conditioned in a suffocating gym for two hours; football players, drained of energy from the unmerciful sun, continued to do drill after drill for as long as three hours every day after school was dismissed. "Practice was awful," said Scott Bradenburg. ''My helmet felt like an oven, and I thought my head was going to explode. Sometimes it got s~ bad that I couldn't even concentrate on our drills. One guy even fell down and started vomiting, but he didn't quit. He could have used the heat a~ 1 cop out to get out of practice, but he kept going. We all did."

He pressed firmly on the cap 34 times until a huge glob formed on the top of his head. After slicking his hair back smoothly, he reached over to a roll of toilet paper, tore off a long piece, and stuck it in the back of his brown bell bottom pants, making sure that a few inches stuck out of his waist. Stoufer was just one of a couple hundred nerds who came to school Oct. 9 with glasses, butterfly collars, and an apple for the teacher. "I tried to dress up every day during Homecoming week," said Stoufer. "When I got ready for school on Nerd Day, I wanted my hair to be plastered to my head. I already had all of the essential nerd paraphernalia, but I figured the toilet paper effect would just top it all off." Rummaging through attics, digging through boxes in the garage, and taking trips to Good Will became a pastime, as students searched for outfits to wear for each dress up day and tie in with the theme "Get Up." On Cowboy Day, students came in highheeled boots, plaid shirts, cowboy hats, and stirrups. Lassos were strung from belts, and several people carried stuffed horses. For Sixties Day, students hunted through their parents' closets to find bell bottom jeans, John Lennon glasses, psychedelic shirts, and love beads. Picket signs waved, finger strummed guitars, and students swayed back and forth to the beat of Bob Dillon at a sit-in during homeroom. "I had a great time at the sit-in," said Jenny Schultz. "Everybody was just hanging out, singing old sixties songs, and pretending they were smoking, even though it was just rolled up paper." Toga Day brought the Roman and Greek era to school as students came dressed as gods and goddesses with leaves woven through their hair and sheets draped around their bodies. Sheets were also laid across the floor as students made them into banners for the pep assembly and game on Friday.

"We also pasted real fe athers on it to get the point across tha t we wanted to 'pluck' the Central Eagles. We were surprised when we won first place because this is the first homeroom event we have participated in in the three years we've been here. " After four exciting days of transforming themselves into cowboys, nerds, hippies, and goddesses, students wore the school colors on Friday, smearing their hair and faces with bright red and blue paint. When school was out Friday, students rushed out of the building, excited to return within the hour to decorate their cars in the parking lot for the car rally. Streamers, helium balloons, and posters of red, white, and blue covered every inch of the cars they drove to Council Bluffs Stadium. After arriving there, more than 150 students played games, which included a race around the track in shopping carts, tug-of-war, and a relay called citrus necking, where students passed oranges between their necks. "I thought there was more involvement than in other years," said Kris Capel, student council representative. "The cars in the rally went back hundreds. of ya rds, and everybody was excited to compete m the games at the field , especially tugof-war." After suffering a 28-7 loss to Omaha Central's Eagles, fans journeyed to Mall of the Bluffs, where the yearbook signing party was held for the third year in a row. Homecoming week ended on Saturday night with the dance, sponsored by the student council. " I was surprised so many people stayed for most of the dance," said Jessica Mankin. "I didn't think they would because it seemed like everybody came stag, but the DJ was so much better this year because he actually played the songs that people requested." Halfway through the dance, coronation was held, and seniors Heidi Workman and Brian Swartz were named Homecoming king and queen. " I was so honored to be chosen for Homecoming queen," said Workman. "It seemed like forever before they a nnounced who the winners were' It was a n honor to know that I was well liked by the whole school, and not by just one class." Dressing for spirit days, competing in field games, and jamming at the dance made Homecoming week one to remember. -Krissa Rossbund E xcited about the "We'll Try Anything Once" book, Nikki Nagel reads wha t Monica Larson has written in her yea rbook a t the signing C hili, potatoes, and steak fi ll the plates of Mindy Patton and Andy Sorensen as they eat dinner before Homecoming Dance with five other pa rty held Oct. 12 a t the Mall of the Bluffs.

But despite the mess, the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air, tantalizing everybody's senses. Spann's kitchen appeared this way after a crazy c;ookie making contest at her traditional Halloween party. Before the festivities, Spann's mother had prepared a huge bowl of cookie dough and a variety of special ingredients - candy, cinnamon, and coconut. She then gave each team of two I 0 minutes to create either the best looking or the best tasting cookie. "We made the perfect girl," said Gere Nelson. "She had Milk Duds for boobs, and she was wearing a caramel bikini. She had coconut for hair, red-hot cinnamon candies for eyes and nose, and cinnamon sprinkled all over her so she look tanned. She looked perfect before she went into the oven, but after she was baked her hair was fried, her boobs and swimsuit me,lted, and she looked like she'd gained a hundred pounds." Other holiday festivities included a dance sponsored by DECA, and a hayrack ride. At the DECA Halloween dance, Oct. 26, long black streamers dangled from the ceiling, creating a dark tunnel into the cafeteria. Inside, crookedly smiling jack-o-lanterns stood guard while costume-clad students jammed to the music. To add to the atmosphere, six sexy Chippendales, dressed in spandex running tights and bow ties, entertained the crowd and danced with girls for just 50 cents. "The Chippendales really didn't make much money," said Troy Gibler, DECA member, "but they were all a bunch of hams, and everyone had a total blast with them." At the dance, costumes were judged in several categories, including funniest, scariest, and mo~t original. Susan Wells, Jenny Wellman, Craig Mauer, and Molly Spann claimed the title of most original for their four-car train. "Jenny and I went to Super Yalu and picked out huge boxes," said Wells. "The biggest one was for the engine, and the smallest was for the caboose. We cut out openings for our heads and then painted them different colors." DECA's dance wasn't the only place students gathered. To escape the ordinary trick-or-treating routine, one group decided to have a hayrack ride and bonfire at Shady Lane Ranch . . "We were planning on going trick-or-treating. but we decided we were too old so we planned a hayrack ride instead," said Wells. "It was a lot of fun, but I missed getting tons of candy. ". Whether making cookies, dancing, or going on hayrack rides, students managed to celebrate Halloween in the most exciting ways. -Michele White T ricked by the treat of a rubber s nake, S hannon Black, Jacki Hayes, Tiffany Ryder, and Nikki Hartzell get a good la ugh at Dr. A s Michelle Kinnecom shares a dance with Chippendale Shawn Hatcher at the Halloween Dance, she sings along to "The Humpty Jim Kalar's home in T imbercrest.

Like the rest of the country, Walker had learned that just 19 hours after the Jan. 15 deadline set by the UN for Saddam Hussein to remove his troops from Kuwait, America was at war with Iraq. Although there had been a possibility of war ever since Kuwait was invaded in August, Walker said she was shocked at the news. "When I found out, I didn't cry very much," said Walker. "I just stood there shaking and thinking, 'My brother is there.'" While reactions of shock were common, some experienced more extreme emotions. Lynn Ruckman, whose husband was stationed in Saudi Arabia, was on the phone when her mother-in-law told her to go watch the news. "After they said we were at war, I just ran to my room and started crying," said Ruckman. "I don't think I got more than one hour of sleep the whole night." For others, news of the war took time to sink in. "It didn't really hit me until I saw the effects of Israel being bombed," said Shannon Flynn. "On the news they showed a man screaming, 'Can anyone tell me where my parents are?' That really made the war real." Once the war started, students began to voice strong opinions on America's actions. Out of 100 students polled, 82 said that they supported the war. "I think going to war was necessary," said Chad Sumpter. "I think Hussein is insane, and President Bush is doing the right thing by sending our troops to the Gulf." Other students said they felt going to war was wrong. "I'm against the war," said Scott Wheeler. "It's stupid to waste precious human lives over oil. We could've continued peace talks. The U.S. manipulates the world for its own interests, and if Kuwait had been worthless desert, we wouldn't be over there." Whether students were for or against the war, it was an experience they would never forget. "I've never known what war was like," said Walker. "Th.ey just seemed like fairy tales. Now I'm faced with reality." -Karen Bark.er SA UDI SUPPORTER. To show her support for her husband serving in the Gulf, Lyn Ruckman ties a yellow ribbon around the lamp post in front of her house.

A few even had a cha nge of heart a fter lea rnin g th e Ara b point of view. " I can now sympathi ze with the Arab world," sa id Laurie Larsen. "They used to be a strong power, and now have crumbled to almost nothing. I ca n understand better why the Middle East is such a n angry and hateful region."

This year, I wanted to give you something that is priceless, something that can't be bought or sold. I "So because of our friendship, there is one less angel on the Salvation Army's angel tree. A little girl named Marriah will find a brand new book under her tree. My gift to you is the smile of a child when she finds out Santa didn't forget her this year." Those were the words of a Christmas letter written by Kristina Kachulis to her best friend, Heather Ellingsen. "I was honored that she would give me that gift for Christmas," said Ellingsen. "She knew that I wouldn't be offended by getting a gift like that. It's good to know that she thought I wasn't selfish, and that she appreciated our friendship. I was so happy I cried." Kachulis wasn't the only student who tried to make the Christmas season memorable for more than the long lines, extra expenses, and thousa nds of calories it brought. When the time arrived for student council's annual food drive, members wanted to give something back to students for making the food drive successful in past years. They agreed to organize a volleyball game between intramural champions Bones II and the varsity team. Fifty cents or two cans of food got students in, and the proceeds went towards the food drive. "It ended up being successful," said Curt Kenoyer. "I think the kids were willing to give more when they could participate in the activity." Although homerooms weren't heavily involved in the food drive, they still were given a chance to compete in the third annual decorating contest. While most homerooms decorated a tree, strung lights around the room, and pasted Sant.a on the door, a couple homerooms used their creativity to create a fantasy land in school. Instead of using construction paper, snowflakes, and wrapped boxes as props, instructor Steve Swee's homeroom used students. "We wanted to participate in the judging, rather than standing there while the judges wrote numbers on a paper," said Jodi Stansberry. "Misti Stewart and I acted like jack-inthe-boxes and popped up and down when the judges came in." While most classroom decorations were finished in the middle of December, the big gym wasn't started until the 14th, when Foreign Exchange Club members spent 15 hours creating a wonderland of red, green, silver and white for Christmas Dance.

'T~S THE SEASON Arriving in their most elegant attire Dec. 15, students walked through a gingerbread house entrance into the gym, where a suspended Christmas tree of streamers hung from the ceiling, and helium balloons, held secure by big wrapped boxes, floated in the air. "We wanted to make the Christmas Dance really special this year so we made the theme 'Dear Santa: For Christmas I Want " ' said Tori Christie. "We made the tickets into 'little scrolls that looked like Christmas lists." Many students also went out of their way to make the dance extra special for their friends and dates. Jason Arnold helped create a never-to-be-forgotten outfit for his friend, Jim Godsey. "Jim asked me to make his outfit " said Jason Arnold. "We went out and boug,ht this gold metallic material to make a vest and a pair of MC Hammer pants. Jim and I worked on the pants together, but Mrs. Ford ended up making most of the vest because we had a lot of prob- lems." Amy Andersen, Cathy Mauer, and Elisa Benson. prepared an exquisite Oriental dinner for their dates, complete with crab rangoon for hors d'oeurvres and a three layer chocolate torte for dessert. When the last week before Christmas finally arrived, club parties seemed to be the highlight. Students agreed that gift exchanges were the best entertainment during parties, especially when pranks were involved. "Melody Jaco never checks her oil, changes her oil, or even thinks about it," said Kristi Kuper. "So for the yearbook Christmas party, I got her six bottles of oil. The look on her face was great." Girls' basketball players busily made their own memories once school was out and they entered the Holiday Tournament. After winning two games, they made it to the semifinals held at the Civic Auditorium. "We wanted to play in the 'big barn,' as Mr. Brown calls the Civic Auditorium," said Heather Haines. "We were really upset that we didn't play for the championship, but Mr. Brown told us we should be proud. "Before the tournament, he told us that if we made it to the 'big barn,' he would shave off his moustache. So one day at practice, Kim Moore showed up with a razor and shaving creme, and his moustache was gone." Through special gifts, unforgettable evenings, and creative jokes, students made this holiday season the most memorable it could be.

But suddenly, in the middle of the scene Herron reali.zed that she had lost her place. Q~ickly exchanging glances with Wesolowski, Herron began substituting lines from other parts of the pla~, and the scene continued without a single audience member noticing that anything was wrong. "We were able to. pull it off because we knew each other so well as an actor and actress," said Herron. "We just looked at each other. He knew I was lost, I )snew he was lost, but we both knew that we had to keep going no matter what." Drama students found that friendships which developed during their productions not only saved the day on stage, but also continued off stage. "At first Mike Sund, Jason Burkum and I didn't know each other very well," said Matt Allerton, who had the role of one of the three kings in Amahl and the Night Visitors. "But because we were all leads, we started to talk and socialize more. Now, we're all really good friends." In the rehearsals for the musical Grease, working together well became even more important when, for the first time, students choreographed the dances. "When we'd make up a dance, Eric Potter and I would first play the song that the dance was for, " said Peggy Murray. "We'd both do some dance steps, and then we'd take the steps from each other that we liked and combine them 1 into one dance. There was a lot of teamwork involved." Although they were always working ha rd, t~e cast of Grease still found time to have fun while rehearsing. "One of the scenes that we had the most fun with was the scene at the school dance," said Kim Bass. "We'd start joking around with the different dance steps, and we got to do some that were really fun, like when Mike Angeroth had to flip me over his head. It turned out great!" Whether it was by saving each other on stage, forming new friendships, or just having fun, dr~­ ma students found that teamwork always paid off in the end. -Karen Barker T o practice the last act in Grease, Jason Rogers, Peggy Murray, Carrie S pa nn, Kristi Neff, Matt Allerton· and Angel Walker sing "We go Together" at a rehearsal March 4.

As the soldiers stepped off of the bus, applause echoed throughout the parking lot. After hugs were given to friends and family, the soldiers got back on the trucks and led a homecoming parade throughout Council Bluffs in their honor. One returning soldier, Dirk Petersen of Amarillo, TX, spoke to two AL classes about his experiences in the Gulf. He told the students that the support the troops received was unbelievable. "The American people supported us so much that it made us proud to be over there fighting for our country," he said. "I received at least 40 to 50 letters every day from kids who were 3 years old to elders 98 years old, and I made sure that I wrot~ every one of them back." From the first day be arrived in Saudi Arabia, Petersen said he trained more than 12 hours a day in 130 degree temperatures. He said that for three months, the troops went without deodorant, clean clothes, and showers. When they did have water, they saved it in their canteens for drinking. Their only food was dehydrated, and because of limited space in their bags, soldiers could carry only two PROUD AMERICANS. After a safe return home lo Council Bluffs, soldiers from the 9JSth Transportation Company await the beginning of a parade in their honor at the K-Marl parking lot April 26.

Although he spent the majority of his time training, Petersen said the thought of death occasionally crossed his mind. "My biggest fear was being shot in the back and being paralyzed for the rest of my life," Petersen said. "When I was fighting on the front lines, there were Iraqi soldiers aiming for me the whole time. I had to constantly move around to prevent myself from being shot. Even when they finally began to surrender, we made sure that they stripped their clothes off in case they bad bombs wired to them." Although the United States won the war, Petersen felt there was unfinished business in the Middle East. "At times I really wondered if I'd ever make it back home, but I still wished that we would've gone all the way to Baghdad and killed Saddam Hussain," he said. "Now, in another seven or eight years, he can do the same thing all over again, except next time, it will be my brother fighting him." -Krissa Rossbund HOME AGAIN.

"Also, it was only 3:45 a nd there were lots of students still here, so the kids could practice performing in front of people." That was just one example of the creative techni ques drama students developed to work with young children in the department's production of Pinnochio. "It took a lot of patience to keep the children focused because they were not used to theater discipline," said Jason Burkum. "But it was a great experience working with kids who aren't already burned out on everything." Carrie Brookheart recalled one practice when the children performed a lmost flawlessly. they blocked their places and perfected their lines, not one of them got frustrated with themselves or anyone else." To motivate the children, high school students gave a special gift to each child before every one of the eight successful performances, which were seen by 1600 people in April. -Amy Stairs MAGICAL MOMENT.

Since he didn't feel comfortable asking her over the phone, Nelson had the idea to send a letter over the school's FAX machine. "It was really embarrassing because her school wouldn't accept a message for a student," said Conaway. "We told her principal that it was information about nationals so he finally said it was okay. The secretaries were down there laughing the whole time." Like Conaway, several students thought of Prom as one of the biggest events of their high school years and were willing to do just about anything to make the night a memorable one. For some students, that meant following tradition by going out for dinner and attending the dance. For others, it meant using their creativity to do something unique and classy while their classmates were promming. For many attending the dance, money became no object. " It cost us $310 to rent a limo for six hours but it was a lot of fun," said Dave Gaupp. "J.R. Pearson and I took our dates to the Cafe de Copia, where we had a $90 dinner. Even though it was really expensive, we had a great time and it was worth all the money. Besides, after the dance, we went to the post Prom party where we won a couple of t-shirts." . For some, the evening was so special that 1t seemed almost like a fairy tale. . ., "We went to Maxine's and had Steak Diane, said Susan Keast. "They brought out a skillet on an electric cart and cooked dinner right at our table. After they poured sauce on the steaks, they lit them up in flames. It was really ne~t. To get around, we rented a 1991 Cadillac with all the extras. The fancy car, dinner, and dress made me feel important like a princess."

Students couldn't help feeling special as they walked into the ballroom. There, 'Heaven on Earth' had been created with an I I-foot wooden castle, 2000 pastel balloons, and I 00 yards of gossamer. "We wanted to create a place where everybody would feel special," said Tori Christie. "The pastel colors that we used for our decorations made it look magical. I think that everybody really liked how it looked, especially with the pearly gates and the castle. We got several compliments on the decorations and effort that we put into it." Many of those who didn't go to Prom wanted to feel special too, so they made plans for unique outings. "I wanted to go out on Prom night even though I wasn't going to the dance," said Kristi Kuper. "So a bunch of my friends and I went to V. Mertz's for dinner. This waiter came out to tell me that my dinner would be late because they screwed up the order. "I told him that was no problem, but the manager felt really bad about it, so they gave me a $30 meal absolutely free. It was great to have all of those Frenchmen sucking up to me. It's one night I'll never forget." Some even traveled out of town to make the most of the night. "I went to Prom last year and I had an awful time," said Sarah Chambers. "I thought it was a terrible waste of money, so I decided to get some friends together and go to Kansas City. We stayed the night there and went to Worlds of Fun the next day. I had lots of fun, and I didn't spend tons of money." Whether or not they attended the dance, most students went to the post Prom party. "The night was going well before I won my VCR, but that really made the night," said Haley Evans. "I was so excited because I've never won anything in my life. I ran up to the desk waving my arms and legs like a fool." Whether students followed traditional Prom plans or creatively came up with different ideas, they found May 18 to be a night of unforgettable moments. -Krissa Rossbund Nervous about his next shot, Tony Wesolowski concentrates at the post Prom party.

A beach ball flew into the air, streams of silly string sailed over heads, and condoms filled with confetti floated across the gym. The scene was Commencement 1991. A row of girls still waited to receive their diplomas. Their names were called, but no one probably heard them over the commotion. Just moments earlier, graduate Eric Hamilton ~ad created his own fun by spraying Don Sche1.beler, class sponsor, with silly string as Hamilton received his diploma. "I got up on the stage and said 'Scheib, I'm gonna squirt ya,"' said Hamilton. "He said 'You better not," but I did it anyway. I meant for it to be a joke because Scheib and I are friends, but he didn't take it that way." Scheibeler had Hamilton's diploma pulled and placed on Mr. Wilks' desk. To get it, Hamilton had to listen to a lecture from Wilks. The graduates' actions during the ceremony left some parents and students with feelings of anger, disappointment, and embarrassment. . "I was really ashamed that we were graduating young people with little respect for each other, parents, and relatives who came to celebrate a good thing,'' said Carolyn Moore, a mother. "Instead, they watched chaos that was disrespectful to people and the school." Rosalie Wagman, one of the last graduates to receive a diploma, agreed that members of her class were acting disrespectfully. "I was upset because they started using the silly string and other stuff when only our row was left," said Wagman. "They were rude. They could have waited until everyone had received a diploma before they went wild." Some of the graduates defended their acti.ons, though, as just an attempt to have a good time. "I didn't think we were disrespectful to the girls whose names hadn't been called,'' said Ron Handsaker. " We were just having fun." . Although students may have acted irresponsibly at the ceremony, those actions didn't reflect the academic achievements of the Class of 1991. The class had 14 State of Iowa Scholars, and six of them had maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school. . Though some believed the class had taken its fun to the limit, there could be no doubt tha t the graduates' antics and academics had earned them a place in AL history. . -Michele White Tearfully, senior choir members perform together for the last ti.me.

He was acting as Poseidon in a film on Roman history made by the seventh hour Latin class. To make the film, the class divided into several groups with each group responsible for researching and writing the script for their section of the show. "Each group bad a director responsible for making sure each group bad enough research," said Clayton Westervelt. "We spent over a week researching in the library and we even rented a couple of videos. After the research, the groups built props, such as swords from wood, shields from rubber garbage cans, and chariots from shopping carts. "We took a shopping cart and turned it around so the end you push is the front," said Shawn Hatcher. "Then we cut out the front of it and cut a hole in the bottom so that the operator could stand up." Although they spent time researching and making props, the filming was the most time consuming and e the most fun. "Every time we goofed up, we got to watch it over and over because it was on video tape," said And Smith. "In the gladiator scene, I was attacking Chris Jones with my sword and he threw a net over me, but when he yanked the net back, he broke my sword. I yelled, 'Hey, you broke my sword!' Everyone w dying laughing." Latin instructor Don Scheibeler got the idea for the project after watching several student produc newscasts, shows, and movies, and he suggested it Westervelt.

Varner became even more apprehensive when she walked into the room and saw three judges instead of one. "I was so nervous that I dropped my music," Varner said. But halfway through her performance on the flute, Varner's nervousness went away and her true abilities shined through. A few days later, Varner was one of six members from AL selected for the Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band. The final reward was a trip to Dallas and a place in the Cotton Bowl Parade Jan. I. To get ready for the trip, members spent a week at camp in Red Oak. "We spent seven hours a day marching in the sun," said Beth Tracy.

"I knew I'd have to practice a lot to be first chair," said Daub. "When I got it, it made me feel good about myself. It was neat to be first chair in a high school bartd.

Concert Choir learned 26 pieces to sing at seven performances and 60 of its 70 members participated in small group contest at Sioux City North E nergy seemed to pulsate throughout the auditorium as the choir sang its last note of "My Country'Tis Of Thee." Then, as director Lee Spann waved his hand in a cut off signal, the entire choir fell silent, leaving its audience engulfed in the aftermath of the piece. What followed the short silence was a standing ovation that nearly shook the walls of the small auditorium. " I think the song turned out so well because of the timing," said Terri Heron. "We had just won the war in the Gulf and everyone was feeling good about being American, and it showed in our singing. "By singing such a patriotic song, we were able to reach down and touch peoples' hearts. It was a very special moment." The spiritual rendition of "My Country 'Tis Of Thee" was performed by the 150-person choir as the grand finale at the Late Winter Concert March 19. BOOM! That's how the idea to write a jazz vocal for New Design came to Brent Peterson, vocal music student teacher. The song was called "No Strings Attached," and Peterson got the idea after first hearing the New Design perform at Northwest Missouri State. " I woke up at 2 a.m. and started writing," said Peterson. "I got the idea from a phrase Steve Urkle said on the show "Family Matters." I had watched the swing choir perform "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," but I knew they could do a more challenging piece, so I wrote them one" When Peterson introduced the song, it was a success. "Everyone thought the song was really cool," said Kim Bass. "It seemed really special that he would write a song just for us." " No Strings Attached" was choreographed and performed by New Design at the Encore concert May 21. p eer pressure takes its toll as Sandy (Sarah Weber) is talked into smoking by Rizzo (Kris Sund), Jan (Kris Capel), Ma rty (Molly Spann), and Frenchie (Megan Caputo) in a scene of Grease.

"It was the last rehearsal before their first concert," said Gibson. "And they were standing there like sticks. They weren't showing me any emotion. So I gave them some advice to liven them up." Most Young Design members felt that Gibson's crazy humor and off the wall comments were one of the things that made Young Design fun. "Mr. Gibson is so funny," said Erica Warren. "He'll make fun of you if you're doing something wrong, but he doesn't hurt your feelings; instead he makes you laugh and try to do better." Young Design practrced their routines an hour every Monday night with Gibson. igh notes are not a problem for sopranos Penny Jones, Mica Smith, and Kristi Neff as they rehearse in a practice room.

The New Design ea rned a $500 dona tion from Bluffs Run for performing as part of the Bluffs Run Charity Jazz Festiva l, in which 18 schools performed. Because of the bad wea ther conditions, the performa nce was less tha n successful. " It was free zing," sa id Melissa Timm.

Newspaper staffers wrote 149 stories and 39 briefs, brainstormed 188 headlines, took 70 photos, and sold 156 ads for their seven monthly issues of the paper S lumped tiredly over the computer screen, newspaper editor Danielle Nelson tried to make her editorial copy on the death penalty wrap around a drawing of an electric chair for the March Echoes. After trying different methods using Pagemaker software for three hours, Nelson realized she had to move her story line by line, a process that would take another three hours. "Sometimes I was so frustrated that I just wanted to strangle Kevin Sharpe, our student teacher, for giving me the idea in the first place," said Nelson. " I could've just sa id 'Forget it' and made the copy in a square like we a lways do, but since I started it and knew it could be done, I couldn't stop. I also knew it would look good and I would be proud of it. " Dedication like Nelson's to perfecting the design of the paper paid off as the Echoes won more than seven local and state awards for design, including first and second place in the state. A fter unsuccessfully calling area shelters to find a student to interview for a story she was writing about poverty, Jackie Daley didn't know where else to turn for help. Fortunately, a yearbook staffer suggester that Daley interview Alex Domingus. "I had talked to people from metro she! ters and they gave me some facts, but I still needed a personal story," said Daley. "I was uncomfortable at first because the subject was so private, but Alex was very professional and made me feel comfortable. "Besides opening my eyes to poverty, it was a good experience because it taught me how to interview people about difficult subjects. Although it was the hardest story I wrote, it's the one I'm most proud of." Daley's and co-author Theresa Varner's determination was well rewarded when the double-truck their story was on, " Money Talks," won four national, state, and local awards. ry the pepperoni," Ericka Wellma n says to Jason Johnson as they feast at the newspaper Christmas party.

Yearbookers wrote 142 pieces of copy, took more than 5700 photos, ate 29 birthday cakes, and won 42 group and individual awards throughout the year C lomps echoed through the hall as 10 yearbook staffers, laughing and acting silly, tromped to the ramps in search of some unusual Christmas party entertainment. Once at the ramp, the girls lay down in a line and prepared for take off. "Go!" somebody yelled. Right on cue, 10 bodies rolled recklessly down the ramp. "We must have looked like a bunch of loons," said Aimee Hayes. "I got ran over by somebody, and I hit. my head on the side of the ramp, but it was fun. I never thought a yearbook party could be so interesting." After their ramp extravaganza, everybody raced into the gym to play Ring Around the Rasey and other childhood games. Before getting totally crazy, yearbookers exchanged gifts and had a potluck dinner in the yearbook room. "The Christmas party was fun " said Karen Barker. "Since I was' new to the staff, it really gave me a chance to get to know everyone better." 0 ne Monday worknight a group of yearbookers mischievously sneaked out onto the roof to get some fresh air, only to be hauled back in by a custodian. On another night, Gere Nelson and Lori Fehr climbed out a yearbook window and sat on the ledge, waving at those below. And on any worknight, staffers could be seen escaping the frenzied atmosphere of the yearbook room and retreating to the silence of the hall, despite the uncomfortableness of the cold, hard floor. These were just a few of the places staffers went to escape pressures of deadlines, revisions, and failed photos. "Sometimes worknights make you feel like screaming," said Kelli Smith. "So we went up to the roof, but a janitor caught us and chased us back down." Whether it was a quiet corner in the room or a window ledge, most staffers agreed that when it got a little too hectic to bear, they had to find somewhere or something to remedy the tension of Room 234. atiently, Melody Ba rajas listens in the hall at worknight as Haley E1·- ans explains a problem she is ha1·- ing with her first story.

Finally, I had Melissa Feller help me conduct an interview." Finally, Fehr was ready to write, but thinking up a lead wasn't as easy as she hoped. "I spent a worknight trying to decide on a lead," said · Fehr. "When I turned it in to Smoley, she hated it and told me to work on the rest of the story. I felt stupid!" Because so many staffers were new, they suffered the same problems as Fehr, yet the staff gained the experience needed to fi nish the book on time. The editors hoped their book would be as successful as the 1990 edition, which was only one of three in the nation to win a Gold Crown and Pacemaker awa rd. - -Melody Barajas o dt:c ide on headli nes and photos for the end of the year news spread, Krissa Rossbund, Karen Barker, and Kelli S mi th look 01·er the possi bilities duri ng yearbook class sixth hour.

"It was a riot," said Troy Gibler. "The kitchen was a mess. We must have looked hideous. Mr. Pearson was the best. He came with white sweat pants, a sweat shirt with the arms and neck cut out of it, and white Van shoes. I've never seen him out of a suit." Instructor Roger Pearson's cookies looked as funny as he did. According to students, he put too much cookie dough too close together, and his cookies spread out, forming one giant glob. The cookie-making process was a success, even though only 38 people came to the dance. H oping to be winners at their state-wide meet, Business Professionals of America members ventured to Cedar Rapids for three days of intense competition. In. one competition, Sheila Letner and Ben Alba had to correct errors on a pre-made computer program. Winning second and third place, Letner and Alba qualified to attend national competition, but they were unable to raise enough money to go. Other students who attended said the experience was fun and educational even though they didn't win. "I found out I didn't know as much as I thought," said Rachell Hill. "The competition was hard, but I learned a lot and had a good time ." I t was almost midnight when Ryan Olsen, Ron Hansacker, Michelle Price, and Michelle Rief sneaked into a field to snatch pumpkins for the DECA Halloween Dance. "We were terrified someone would see us or the farmer would catch us," said Rief. Fortunate not to get caught, they managed to fill Hansacker's truck with pumpkins.

While they were there, the staff interviewed the governor about new school legislation, the casino, and the tax on cigarettes and alcohol. "The most interesting part of the trip was when we were introduced at the House of Representatives during session and received a standing ovation," Dave Gaupp said. Like Gaupp, Chad Hutchison said it was an experience he wouldn't forget. " A lot of kids our age don't get the chance to talk with the governor and understand his views on situations that affect us as students," Hutchison said. When A.L.

While Ellingsen and other members of the speech team rode to Des Moines, they passed the time by trying to find instructor Jane Nelson the ideal husband .

"Then we would hold up a sign that had Ms. Nelson's name and phone number written in huge bold letters." The students were interested in finding Nelson a mate because they considered her their mom. "Ms. Nelson was always doing motherly things towards us like matchmaking us with prom dates, so we started calling her mom," Tyler Conaway said.

He got mad, so he smeared it all over Coco's face. Then everyone got into an all-out food fight. When we got finished, there was food all over the teachers' lounge - all over the walls, floors and table tops."

They also learned about women in careers from a panel consisting of a lawyer, model, professor, and anchorwoman. " I didn't expect it to be as interesting as it was," said Kirsten LeClair. " I thought the nutritionist would be boring, but she made it fun by asking questions like, 'Did you have a nutritious breakfast?' and , if you answered no, you had to sit down.

"Come on Jacquie!" yelled a spectator from the sidelines. "You can make it in record time!" This was only one of the unusual stunts performed by first year German Cub members as part of initiation Nov. 13. "I didn't really feel stupid," said Mohatt. "Everyone else had to do something weird too, so I just laughed the whole time I did it. " New members also got to try something different when they were all forced to eat caramel covered onions as the penalty for speaking English during a half hour when all were to speak only in German. "I kept talking in English, so I ended up eating seven of those things," said Joe Munoz. "They got gross after a while."

Hearing a crack, she realized that she had made contact. When she lifted her blindfold, she saw candy spilling out of the side of the multicolored crepe paper donkey. She had just broken through the pinata at the Spanish Club Christmas party held in the cafeteria. The party was attended by 30 out of 114 members. "It was really funny," said Alba. "Everyone was blindfolded and spun around, and two people kept moving the pinata so we had trouble hitting it. It finally took three people to get it totally broken, and when it was, everyone ran onto the floor and got all of the candy." After the pinata was broken, club members got the chance to sample Spanish cookies and make Mexican ornaments. The club also took monthly visits to Mexican restaurants, during which members could speak nothing but Spanish. LITERARY MAGAZINE.

After Science Club collected $130,000 in receipts, Hy-Vee bought the club a new computer and a new printer. Mike Donner counted between $40,000 and $50,000 in Hy-Yee receipts by staying after school until 4 o'clock many times. "I wanted to help out," said Donner. "I didn't mind putting in extra time so we wouldn't be waiting until the last minute to count all of the receipts." Instructor Dennis Schmoker estimated that the new equipment was worth almost $2000, making students' work worth the effort.

Exhausted from working in extremely hot temperatures, they began to lie down and relax for the remaining hours of the ride. When they passed a semi truck, they heard a loud boom. The girls looked to the back of the van to see Deborah Hogan's bag swinging from the roof of the van and all of Andrea Nielson's belongings spread across the highway. "I swear my suitcase flew at least 100 feet," said Nielson. "We hurried out of the van to gather my things. I was so embarrassed when two farmers stopped and saw Mr. Brown handing me my underwear with a burn hole in the butt. He found most of my clothes in the weeds." Other cheerleaders couldn't forget the two girls' expressions. "I'll never forget the blank expression on Deborah's face when she was trying to grab her bag through the closed window," said Carrie DeRoos. A fter arriving at school for a 7 a.m. cheerleading practice, Shyla Putnam found herself running 10 exhausting laps around the big gym because she had missed the previous practice. New cheerleading sponsor Dave Brown had suddenly begun disciplining the girls for unexcused absences or tardiness to morning practices. Untir Putnam's absence, the cheerleaders were unaware of the rule changes, but most agreed that the new rules cut down on absences and helped the girls dedicate themselves to improving their squad. "At first, I was a little upset that I had to run because I didn't know there was practice," said Putnam, "but I thought it was a good idea that he was making strict rules. I am glad he is trying to improve us, so we can become a better cheerleading squad." After several cheerleaders found themselves running laps while others worked on routines, unexcused absences and tardies ceased. CHEERLEADING.

The Porn Pon squad provided entertainment at 18 varsity football and basketball games and raised $1300 to fund a trip to Nationals S lowly approaching the stoplight in front of Midlands Mall, two cars filled with 12 porn pon girls pulled to a stop. Suddenly, a door opened, and senior Molly Mortensen darted out, escaping from initiation. Although she had planned to get back in the car, the light turned green before she could, and both cars took off, leaving her behind. "I was scared somebody was gonna grab me because there are a lot of weirdoes down there and I was embarrassed to be dressed so funny," said Mortensen. For initiation, new squad members were dressed up in old clothes, given odd hairdo's, and taken to the AL vs. St. Albert baseball game. "I got it the worst because last year during initiation, I was at a slumber party and they couldn't .find me," said Peggy Murray. "They made t-shirts for the new girls.

While some girls sat back and relaxed in their seats because of previous flying experience, the first time flyers awaited nervously to see what was going to happen. After a relaxing ride from Omaha to St. Louis, the girls thought that maybe flying wasn't such a bad thing and that they would probably survive. Suddenly, over Tennessee, though, the cabin began to shake and rattle in turbulence. The flight attendant abruptly opened the cabin doors to tell passengers they would be flying another 45 minutes because high winds wouldn't allow a landing. "I didn't think we'd ever get off that plane," said Pauli Ranslem. "Before we got on it, I took some Calmex, but that didn't help once we hit turbulence. I was so relieved when it was over.

Sweat rolled down their faces, mixing with the brown sticky syrup that speckled their arms and faces. Although this could have been the scene at almost any sporting event where Booster parents battled behind the concession counter, it was the scene at the AL vs Tee Jay football game in September. "The Tee Jay game was the worst," said Debbie Taylor, chairperson of concessions. "By the end of halftime we had run out of everything. We went through 25 packs of hotdogs, 24 pounds of popcorn, and 30 bags of ice. Everyone was a mess because when the pop canisters emptied, they burst pop everywhere." Despite the unpleasantness of working the stand, the Tee Jay game undoubtedly turned the biggest profit of a ny of the concessions. Concessions were one project Booster Club did to raise money for AL activities. According to Diane Hughes, president of Booster club, the club donated more than $22,000 to 28 clubs and sports for needed equipment and uniforms. "The purpose of Booster Club is to support AL activities," said Hughes. "Even though some don't realize how much we help, it's rewarding to know we've done our part." With the help of Booster Club, the band replaced its sound system, cross country bought a new computer program, swing choir purchased new outfits, the auditorium received new spot lights, a nd the library install ed a new computer to track information. Being able to fund projects required ha rd work on the part of the Booster Club.

After spending six months planning a nd organizing Lynx-0-Rama, the biggest fundraiser for Booster Club, the parents were disappointed due to lack of student involvement. "Since Lynx-0-Rama is for the student body, we decided to get the input of students through a homeroom survey," said Diane Westervelt, co-chairperson for Lynx-0- Rama. " I thought it was a good idea, but I was very disappointed with the results. Out of 40 homerooms, only seven responded, and I was able to use only about three of the ideas. Despite lack of interest, Lynx-0-Rama was a success, raisi ng more the $5200 among the organizations tha t pa rticipa ted. Another project Booster Club supported by donating $4000 was Post Prom, a n a fter prom party that provided a drug free environment for students. Like Lynx-0-Rama, Post Prom required much planning a nd preparation. "Diane Andersen a nd I were in charge of buying the prizes a nd gifts for the Lynx Pawn Shop,'' said June Feller. "For two week~ all we did was shop. We wanted to buy thing that weren't just junk. "To make room for a ll the items we·d bought, we took a ll the furniture out of m son's room, who was away a t college. When he came home, he ha d to clea r a spot in th.e middle of the stuff to sleep. If nothing else, it certainly made us sick of shopping!" In addition to supporting students financially, Booster Club started a Safe Homes progra m, which promoted a drug a nd a lcohol free environment. . After pledging not to serve a lcohol to ~1- nors and promising to chaperone a ll parties he ld in their home, pa rents who joined the program consented to having their names published on a list available to a ll parents: Although the program, which started ~n the fall, had more than 160 pledges, it still had a long way to go. "Safe Homes is just a first step," said e~­ gy Ke noyer, Booster member. "At least it ma kes parents a ware of the a lcohol problem a t school." Whether they were toughing it out a t hot football games, reorganizing their home to ma ke room for Post Prom prizes, or promoting Safe Homes, Booster parents went the extra mile to ensure that students got the financial and moral support they needed. -Melody Barajas DIGGI N' IN.

Success stories seemed to emerge from every nook and cranny of the building. From a first time driver learning to drive to a trigonometry student figuring out functions, we all were successful at something. Some success stories were so remarkable that they served to inspire us all. After suffering brain damage from a car accident in 1989, Carrie Kalkman struggled against the odds. "After my accident, the doctor told my parents I'd never be able to read, write, walk or even talk again," said Kalkman. "But by keeping a positive attitude and not giving up, I'm getting all A's and B's." Another over achiever, Coco Fossland exerted extra effort at the Secondary Student Training Program (SSTP) held at the University of Iowa. Under the SSTP, talented science students spent six weeks on a research project. Fossland's assignment was to compare different cleft palate surgical techniques, hypothesize about which was best, and then perform experiments to test her hypothesis. Before starting her project, she spent 80 hours pouring over medical journals. "I researched a topic no one had researched before," said Fossland, "so when I had a question, I had to figure out the answer on my own, which prepared me for the challenges of the real world.

You have to dress up as a chief and pretend to give a speech in the Iroquois language. Then we're going to put war paint on you and show what all the symbols mean. You don't mind, do you?' At first I said 'No way!' But later, I decided it would be fun. " Kenoyer wasn't the only one who found amusement in the presentation.

Little did they know that she was copying the answers from the back of the book because she didn't understand at all. She was acing all the assignments, but one day a test came, and she got a D. "At first I was so mad at myself," said Warren. "I was surrounded by people who understood, but I thought no one could help me, and that I'd go through life not understanding math." But after a call to her parents fro instructor Orville Miller, Warren asked for help. She began spending half an hour before and after school with Miller, doing each assignment with him. If she had a question, all she did was ask him to explain it on the board. "I was always afraid to ask for help," said Warren, "but I found our Mr. Miller didn't get mad ifhe had to go through the material again."

After blocking our the distractions of home and family, Jennifer Kramer found she could overcome the obstacles of theorems, proofs, and slope equations by studying intensely in complete silence. The T.V. and radio stood silent in their corners while Kramer methodically paged through her notes in review. Every so often, she'd scratch away at a paper, trying to jot down a theorem she feared would escape her memory during a test. The silence would last for more that an hour. Trig Tricks • 1?1~~ "When a test comes, I study really hard for it," said Kramer. "Sometimes the test is super hard, and I'm shocked when I get it back and see that I did okay. I feel great knowing that I can earn an A on something even though it's hard." Frustrated, Manual Valadez plopped down and looked at his desk, strewn with the past assignments and notes that he hoped would. help him solve a difficult trig identities problem. Unlike those who gave up when faced with a difficult math problem, Valadez would tell himself to calm down and take things step by step. He would then solve a part of the problem that he already knew how to do, which would lead him to a basic understanding of the problem and then to the answer. It was his policy to spend no less than 15 minutes on a problem before asking the teacher or a friend for help. The reward for his independent thinking was getting a B or better on every test. "Math has always been easy for me," said Valadez. "I feel good that I'm able to accomplish the hard assignments. If you do well in something and if you enjoy it, you'll put 100 percent into it." -Amy Stairs Mathematics + 81 Tr~ Try.

But Moore overcame the initial shock of a six-week summer internship a t Iowa State University as soon as she began conducting resea rch of her own. Her project was to observe mutations in Mitochondria l DNA, which was thought to be the cause of nonheredita ry diseases such as leukemia and dia betes. After Moore worked 25 hours a week in the la b and prepa red a summary of her project, she decided tha t medical research was not the field she wished to pursue.

To prepare food correctly, Kim Carlin and Julie Davis soon learned they had to read and follow recipe directions carefully, and that not doing so could be disastrous. When they had to bake their first batch of oatmeal cookies, the two rushed to get done during class and the cookies didn't turn out quite as they expected. "They came out kinda soupy," said Davis, "We hurried too much, so they looked really bad, but they tasted okay." Soon after that incident, Carlin and Davis began reading directions more carefully and preparing delicious foods. "At first I really wasn't into the class" said Carlin, "but after I got to know the teacher and the kids, it got to be a lot more fun. It really is a lot easier to cook when you follow the directions." According to instructor Nancy Tangeman, the pair improved significantly once they learned to cook correctly. Handy Work Imagine three and a half weeks of giving up study halls and lunch, just to make a dress that wasn't even an assignment. Elizabeth Jordan did just that to complete her dress for LC's Snowball. The project was not only time consuming but also troublesome. Jordan had to replace the zipper on the skirt four times and redo a side seam six times. "I also had problems with the sleeves because the underlining kept getting caught," she said. " It was so frustrating. I owe a lot to Mrs. Ford because she kept telling me I could do it." Jordan said making her own dress not only saved money but also gave her great satisfaction. "It was so neat to make something by myself," she said. "When I finished the dress, it was such a big accomplishment because I really didn't think that I could do it."

"I had never driven before driver ed. Everything with the car was totally new to me," said Ellerbruch. "The other kids in the group had driven with their parents, but my parents were very protective about it. My aunt had told them that it was better that I wait and learn to drive from the teacher." Although driving in town was terrifying, Ellerbruch found it to be a relatively simple task compared to the interstate. "I was allowed to decide if I wanted to attempt driving to Omaha," she said. "I was scared to death because of the high speeds, number of Janes, and cars on the interstate, but I wanted to try. Mr. Forbes coached me through it and everything went smoothly." Ellerbruch received a C in driver education but continued to work with Forbes to become more comfortable driving. "Mr. Forbes helped me so much," she said, "I was really scared when I first started driving, but I've become much more comfortable with my driving, thanks to him." P.E. had always been a difficult class for Teri Herron, but rather than Jet it get the best of her, she resolved to accomplish something good for herself. "I do weightlifting to do better in drama," said Herron. "I try to improve my endurance for rehearsals. I figure that if yoli have six hours of rehearsals and are not physically ready, even if you have a gorgeous voice, you might as well have an understudy who is physically prepared do the part." To get in shape for each performance, Herron targeted specific goals in weightlifting and aerobics. "Mr. Argersinger was a big help," she said. "I would tell him what I needed to do in a show and he would then show me how to exercise the muscle groups I would use. With aerobics I just figured that if I could do one hour, I could certainly do a three hour rehearsal." For her part in Amahl and the Night Visitors, Herron needed to perform a move which required strength in her leg muscles. " I w~s not capable of performing that move, so I went to Mr. Argersmger," she said. "I knew that I needed to work on the hip sled: and he added leg extensions, curls, and squats. Since I went to him with specifics, he was able to give me the help I needed. I'~ an artist, I'm not a jock, but I believe you do what you can with what you're given." CLOSE WATCH.

" After you learn the symbols, it gets easier, but it takes a Jong time to figure out what each little one means. Mrs. Tettenborn is a really big help because she goes over everything more than once to make sure that we understand it." Mcintosh found that shorthand helped him already this year to take better notes in his classes.

With the help of instructor Pam Ziebarth, Hill soon found a job as a secretary and errand runner at a dentist office. "Basically I do everything that nobody else wants to do," said Hill. According to Hill, working in an office required her not only to meet new people but also to change her work habits. "It's totally different from working at a fast food place," she sa id. "There you have something to do all the time, but at the office, sometimes you have to look for things to do." Since Hill was the youngest person employed at the office, she also had to learn to work with people older than herself.

"I could have waited to take French," she said, "but most colleges require four years of a foreign language to graduate, and I wanted to get it out of the way." But Franks went way beyond just getting the class out of the way. To do well, she went through the French I workbook and redid every assignment for a complete review.

Art/ Industrial Arts f 95 Committee begins restructuring process which will take AL into 21st century C ouncil Bluffs was no different from school districts across the country. With the 21st century less than a decade away, teachers and administrators began to realize more fully than ever before that the nation's schools were not adequately preparing students to be successful in a rapidly changing world. " We simply aren't operating in the age we live in. Our school system has become a dinosaur," said Dr. Maryellen Knowles, Iowa's transformation coordinator. To restructure AL to fit the times, educators embarked on a bold journey called Transformation . At AL, that journey was guided by the Transformation Committee, a group of students, parents, teachers, and administrators dedicated to restructuring AL. The major goal was to make students more active participants in learning. Rather than just reading from a text, students would be responsible for using critical thinking skills in processing and analyzing information. As teachers attended inservices and began meeting in small groups to brainstorm, it became clear that three types of changes would be essential to transformation. First, memorizing and busy work would have to be replaced with more meaningful assessments of students' achievements. Authentic Assessment became the buzz wo rds for a system of grading in which students would demonstrate their ability to use the information and skills they learned. Chris Fink, science instructor, already used Authentic Assessment in her class. To stimulate learning about the ozone layer, Fi nk decided against the traditional method of assigning diagrams a nd testing over fa cts.

Each student researched a position . For example, there wa s a farmer concerned about its effect on crops and two health professionals concerned about skin cancer. "Rather than taking a written test, the students presented their views in a public meeting in front of fifth and sixth graders. It went rea lly well . I know the students learned because they had to do it all themselves." To supplement Authentic Assessment, Outcome Based Education (OBE) was also considered by the Transformation Committee . According to Warren Weber, director of secondary education, students would know at the beginning of the course or unit the specific outcome they needed to accomplish and they would have to meet the outcome to pass the course. Under OBE, the calendar would no longer determine the end of a course . Some students would pass in less tha n a semester, while others would work longer tha n 18 weeks. " OBE is a major asset to transforma tion,'' sa id Weber, "because in the end, it benefits the student. When a student graduates from AL, a diploma is received, but wha t does it represent? Under OBE and Authentic A - sessment, he will be able to say, 'I am competent,' and really mean it. " To make OBE and Authe ntic Assessment work, many teachers rea li zed the seven period schedule should be repla ced. . . A discussion group bega n exa nm g schedules of other schools to help devise a schedule that would serve the needs of AL. They examined schedules at both ends of the spectrum, including the block system, which used fewer, longer pe riods, a nd modular schedules, which used 12 or more shorter mods. Teachers learned both sc hed ules had advantages. They found the block plan made better instruction possible beca use teachers worked with fewer stude nts da ily, and th modular schedule allowed more fl exibility in the number of classes a student could ta ke. Judy Jeffrey, assista nt superintenden t, expressed what many teachers felt when she said, "There is no magi c schedule to meet the needs of students in th e 2 1st century. Everyone at AL has to work together to create · schedule that will sa tisfy Al's needs."

But when he remembered he had an intramural basketball game in less than half an hour, he jumped out of bed and into his uniform. When he arrived at school minutes later, he was awake, alert, and ready to play. Smith wasn't the only person who jerked himself out of bed before dawn on cold winter mornings to play an action packed game of intramural basketball. Twelve teams competed in January and February. "Once I got out on the court, I didn't think about how early it was," said Eric Hamilton. "If I were tired, I didn't even realize it. All I could do was concentrate on having fun." As players had fun together, they developed new friendships. "When people play intramural sports, their natural character shows because there aren't many rules," said Jason Bell. "When I found someone I thought would be fun, we would just start talking, and I made a few new friends that way." Because intramural basketball . · · · ~. · Friends and ... '.' fun, that's :··what intramurals is all about. If you took those away, there wouldn't be anything left. " -Eric Hamilton was so successful, intramural volleyball and beasley ball were added to the program. Volleyball, which had nine teams participate, was successful largely because the games were played at night. "The best thing about volleyball being played at night was that by then, all other sports practices were over," said Curt Kenoyer, "and afterwards our team could go do something because we didn't have to worry about going to school." Beasley ball was more successful than expected with eight teams participating. "When I signed up for beasley ball, I didn't even know what it was," said Shannon Flynn. "The first game we had, only one person from the other team showed up, but the next day, things turned out better. Now everybody is crazy about it!" A special attraction of volleyball and beasley ball was that the teams were coed. "Playing on a coed team was fun ," said Trisha Alba. "We got along really well, and if the girls couldn't hit the ball, the guys almost always made up for it." At the end of the intramural season, top players got their moment in the spotlight when the top two basketball teams competed and the best volleyball team played the girls' varsity for the championship. "The team I was on played in both championships," said Hamilton. "It was great because we played in front of the whole school. We goofed off, and people cheered for us." Although the championship games were big events, the main motivation for playing intramural sports wasn't to be champions. "Friends and fun ," said Hamilton "that's what intramurals is all about'. If you took those away, there wouldn't be anything left. " -Kim Gift "IN YER FACE!" J.R. Pearson of the Ten Live Crew yells as he spikes the ball between Jesse Hastie's block.

HEAD OVER HILLS Cross country runners use smarts to conquer the course T o get ahead in today's world, people have to be smarter than the next guy - or in the case of the cross country runners, smarter than the athletes ahead of them. Running smart came easy for the 1990 team because members were used to using their heads in the classroom. The girls' squad earned an outstanding award from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union for maintaining a composite grade point average of 3.4. Likewise, the boys were awarded certificates for earning a GPA of 3.25. In addition to team honors, Jon Fitch, Pat Hughes, and Casey Malskeit were announced to the 1990 All Metro Academic Team, following the Metro Meet at Tranquility Park. Both teams used their classroom smarts on the hills as well. As a result, they chalked up five first place wins, an 11th place state finish for the boys, and a 14th place state finish for the girls. Since conditioning was a crucial part of running smart, intelligent runners didn't take it lightly. "To prepare physically, I go to NO MAN'S LAND. On the open course at Tranquility Park, Ruth Fitch sets a steady pace, finishing 19th in the Metro meet. Fitch led the Lady Lynx in eight races.

" -Pat Hughes practices and drink lots of water so I can keep my system clean and not become dehydrated," said Heather Haines. "For a while, I took weight training in P.E." Smart runners also planned their diets. "Before meets I always eat a lot of spaghetti and pasta because the carbohydrates build up, and that's what gives me energy," said Molly Spann. "All through the season, I ate a lot, but I never felt bad about it because I knew I would work it off." While runners used their heads to map out their own conditioning strategies, Coaches Mick Freeman and MENTAL PREPARATION. Before the Metro meet, varsity runners Shawn Reisz, J on Fitch, Pat Hughes, and Dan Koger listen carefully to Coach Mick Freeman's pep talk. (Photo by Amy Negrete) Mike Batten put their heads together on weekends to plan practices. Their plans almost always included running triangles. For a triangle, runners sprinted up a hill, jogged down a steeper incline, and ran across a straightaway back to their starting point. Runners learned that the hill workouts helped in competition. "When the courses had hills, they were easier to climb because we had practiced them with triangles," said Shawn Reisz. "Triangles helped strengthen my legs and increase my speed." After practices and conditioning, runners found the races to be mental as well as physical competitions. " I try to stay focused on my style, pace, and small movements to save energy," said Hughes. "At Atlantic, I was thinking about everything to do right through the whole race, and when it came to the end straightaway, and I started to sprint, I had everything left in me. That was probably one of my best races. " From the classrooms to the hills, runners learned using their smarts was the key to academic as well as athletic success. -Lori Fehr TAKING ADV ANT AGE of the corner at Districts, Molly Spann starts to pass Tara Clabaugh of Estherville.

Only this time, they refused to give up. AL's offense had the ball within touchdown range, and the clock ran out two seconds early. The Lynx convinced officials to put the two seconds back on the clock, and instantly, quarterback Chad Taylor launched a short pass to Scott Brandenburg. He was stopped just one yard away from the end zone. "Since the pass wasn't long enough, I had to sprint forward to catch it," said Brandenburg. "Then I had to backpedal toward the goal line. I thought I was close to the end zone, but when I realized how close I actually was, it was a major disappointment." In years past, the squad may never have fought for those final seconds, but this year it was different. "One of our goals was to never let down," said Andy Caruso. "We played every game from beginning to end." The importance of setting goals was clear on the first day of practice when Coach Bill Emsick had the players write down what they wanted VARSITY FOOTBALL.

Team members soon learned Emsick was serious about goal setting, and as a result, they took it to heart. "We found our goals gave us something to look forward to every game," said Shawn Hatcher. "Even if we lost, we asked ourselves if we had accomplished what we set out to do. If we got a first-and-ten on our first possession, wrapped up on tackles, and played tough, we knew at least part of the game was a success." Emsick's goal for the team was to win quarters, not just games. Winning 23 out of 36 quarters, they did GOTTA START PLAYING TOUGH!

"We got killed in the Bellevue West game, but it was still a lot of fun for me," said Brian Swartz. "No matter what the score, I loved being able to test myself. I went out on the field to win my own battles, and I did." Sometimes the battles were more mental than physical. "I promised myself I would always be a leader," said Caruso. "Regardless of wins or losses, I never wanted to let the team see me giving less than 100 percent. I wanted to be a role model for them." In a tough Metro Conference, players realized they had little chance for a winning season.

(Photo by Kellie Bottrell) SIET ONJ SUCCl!SS Seniors battle to turn young players into state material W hen the volleyball season started, five experienced seniors were left to bring up eight baby girls. "We graduated four starters," said Angi Riggs, "which left us with many young players. Working together was difficult. We barely knew each other." The senior moms were proud of the babies' talents. They could spike, set, and serve, helping their moms amass a 10-6 record by October. But even though the girls were beating easy teams, they often lost to tough competition. Soon the moms realized the problem was that their baby players hadn't yet learned to talk and had a hard time playing with other kids. The spikers let their frustration get the best of them against Westside Sept. 1 as they were downed 3-0. Even senior captain Heidi Workman showed frustration. "No one talked to each other on the court," said Workman. "Finally, I joined the younger players in their silent treatment. They weren't playing as a team, and I was tired of trying to keep it going." "COME ON!"

As soon as we started talking . . . the team started improving." -Mindy Patten After a miserable loss and a few tough moments of honesty in the locker room, the younger players came to learn one of the most important lessons of volleyball. "Communication would soon become the key factor in the way we worked as a team on the court," said Mindy Patten. "As soon as we started talking to each other and calling the ball, the team started improving." Districts proved to be the ultimate turning point for the spikers. "I think it all started at district competition," said Kim Moore. "We played Tee Jay and were beating them 2-0. But in the third game we were down by IO points until finally everyone began communicating and we came out on top 21-19." IN YOUR FACE!

With these important victories under their belts, the Lady Lynx earned their way to State for the first time since 1977. Although the girls knew they'd face big competition at the tourney in Altoona, they had no idea how "big" number one Dubuque Walbert was. "Miss Kyte wouldn't let us look at them as they warmed up," said Vickie Ambrose. "I thought they were big, but once we started playing, I knew I had never seen anything like it before. Their size and the power in their spikes was unbelievable!" Even though the girls' state experience was short-lived, as they fell to Wahlert 3-0, Coach Mary Kyte praised the team's efforts. "I was extremely proud of the way the girls performed," said Kyte. "I wish I had been able to prepare them mentally, but the girls figured problems out themselves, and gave Wahlert a run in the final game of the match." As the season came to a close, the eight baby girls had grown up with the help of the senior moms. Together the team learned the importance of . communication, and that knowledge carried them straight to the top. -Stacy Ebling TOTAL CHAOS.

Fans were excited that a trip to State seemed a sure bet. As the Tee-Jay game neared, a big win seemed imminent. But three minutes into the game, senior Jason Brink, who averaged 25 points in the first four games, sprained his ankle. As Brink sat on the bench the rest of the game, his teammates kept up with Tee-Jay until the last quarter, but then fell behind and couldn't catch up. "When we lost to Tee-Jay, I couldn't believe it," said Brad Burke. "It was the ultimate underdog game. That's something you never get over." Coach Dan Koch said one of the problems was that the players were un a ble to adjust to Brink's injury. "What it indicated was that the kids didn't want to take on different roles," said Koch, "and maybe some of them were relying on another "GOT IT!"

To solve this problem, Koch switched the bench rotations to find a strong set of players who worked well together. But teammates said the rotations weren't successful because everyone was playing for themselves. "We didn't play as a team," said Jason Johnson. "Everyone wanted to be a star. We couldn't be ourselves because we wanted to be scorers. We were all so close in talent, it was hard for us to mold together."

Even though the team's record wasn't improving, the boys remembered the team three years ago that had more losses than wins and still went to State. With the gleam of State in their eyes, the boys entered Districts and defeated Creston by 15. But the gleam was replaced by tears when they faced Tee-Jay once again and lost. " As I saw the game coming to an end, I had mixed emotions," said Pat Gibson. "I was sad because our senior season was going to be over, but I was happy because I felt a great weight removed from my shoulders. " The season may have been a disaster, but according to Koch and the players, it was definitely a learning experience. "If the boys are honest with themselves and look sincerely into what they did and how they did it, there are some very positive things that emerge in the course of being tested the way they were during the year," Koch said. -Lori Fehr W.-\Rl\ll NG THE BENCH.

"We thought this was supposed to be your girls' basketball team, not your football team." Although the Lady Lynx didn't feel they were playing rough, Sioux City fans disagreed. When referees' didn't call fouls on AL, opposing fans continued to heckle the girls. "At first we were upset from the crowd yelling at us," said Vickie Ambrose, " but we didn't let it ruin the way we performed. " The kind of physical and mental strength shown against Sioux City was the key that enabled the Lady Lynx to achieve a 17-8 record.

"We weren't a real tall team or great scorers," said Cathy Mauer, " but we could out-hustle other teams. After stealing the ball, we drove it down the court." But the team's hustle resulted more from hard work than natural talent, according to teammates. "We worked ourselves extremely hard," said Heather Haines.

"We were upset, but the loss encouraged us to try harder because we knew we had a chance to beat them in Districts." Although the girls had few upsets, they used every game as a learning experience, analyzing videotapes of each player's performance and needed improvements.

Although they were defeated by 5th ranked Westide, the girls were thrilled to win a bet with their coach. "Coach Brown bet us that if we won the first two games of the tournament, he would let us shave off his mustache," said Mauer." We sat him down, put a towel around him, and took turns with the razor until the mustache was gone." After such a strong finish against the Metro's best teams, the girls realized State was within reach. In Districts, they defeated Tee Jay and St. Albert, capturing the title for the second year in a row. At Regionals, they beat Sioux City North 49-36 but lost to Fort Dodge in the finals, falling just three points short of State. "We all hoped for State," sa id Ca thy Collins.

Constantly battling each other for the 140-pound varsity spot, Craig Mauer and Scott Porter soon learned that competition was one of the best forms of team support. "Craig was always threatening to take my varsity position away," said Porter. "Knowing he was never going to give up made me work harder.

"When you cut weight, you rea lly need extra support from your family," said I 03-pounder Darren Coppock. "Even though my mom worried when I was really pale and skinny the night before a match, she knew I had to do what I had to do and she was a lways willing to help. She'd buy me special foods like Gatorade and Slim Fast to help me." MAKIN' HIS MOVE.

(Photo by Melody Jaco) .. Jn addition to his mother's support, Coppock could a lways count on his brother and assistant coach, Tim Coppock, for extra help. "Although he was just my coach in the wrestling room, I knew that if I ever needed to work on my moves or technique, Tim would be there for me. He stayed after practice all the time to help me." The support Coppock received from his family, combined with his hard work and dedication, helped him finish the season undefeated and become the first AL wrestler to capture a first place state title in 20 years. But wrestlers knew that even when they lost, the support of their teammates a nd families would be just as strong. "At State, I had bronchitis a nd wasn't performing the way I could have," said Porter. "Still, my parents were extremely proud that I wrestled and ended up taking fourth place." As the season came to a close, the matmen found that although wrestling was an individual sport, they could n't have made it on their own. -Melissa Feller PORTER POWER.

"When we stopped at McDonald's for dinner and everyone grabbed tons of straws and napkins, we knew a huge spitball fight was on the way," said Rusty Clevenger. "We started out throwing one or two, then we got carried away. "Pretty soon the whole bus was covered with caked-on spitballs. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! Amazingly enough, Coach didn't mind too much. He just made sure we cleaned everything up." Although swim team members occasionally took time out to have fun, they spent most of their time working hard to have one of their most successful seasons in years. Undefeated in dual meets, the boys' team standout Aaron Thatcher broke three records to hold every school record and four pool records. A shoulder injury kept Thatcher from swimming his best event, the 200 l.M., at State, but it didn't stop him from tying for fifth in the 50 free and dropping more that two seconds in his 100 free to place third.

" -Coach Dave Hook But not all of the team's success was in the form of broken records and state trips. Although Adam Nourse began his first year of competitive swimming slowly, he improved his stroke to become the second fastest breaststroker on the team. Dick Price dropped more than 19 seconds in his I 00 free and two seconds in his 50 free. "The boys were more willing to work and listen than in the past," said Coach Dave Hook. "After they found out that they could win meets, the boys gained confidence in themselves and in the team. Their attitude improved and that helped them win more meets. It was a snowball effect GOING FOR THE GOLD. Ready to begin practice, Aaron Thatcher finis hes his wa rm ups. The boys practiced more that 15 hours a week, swimming, runnin g, and lifting weights. (Photo by Krist i Kuper) - it kept getting bigger and bigger." The girls also experienced success. Their top swimmer, Janet Danburg, ; broke the 100 backstroke and 200 l.M. records and placed eighth at State in the I 00 backstroke and 21st in the 200 l.M. But the girls' success was harder to achieve because they had to adjust to the different coaching methods of Brenda Drazen, who replaced Judy Heithoff for the winter season while Heithoff was on maternity leave. " Brenda concentrated on sprints and stroke drills, unlike Judy, who worked us more in distance," said Beth Linberg. "I thought it was good to see a different aspect of swimming, but some were hurt physically. "When I swam the JOO fly at the Lady Lynx Invitational, I died after 25 meters. I was seeded second, but gained 11 seconds and got fifth . I found that after working sprints the whole time, my muscles had no endurance whatsoever." Despite the changes in coaching techniques, Drazen said everyone improved, and three-fourths of the girls doubled their speed. Swimmers found that by combining hard work and fun, they improved and enjoyed their season. -Kelly Knudson BOYS SWIMMING 8-4 AL OPP Benson 107 51 North 114 70 Lewis Central 114 54 Gross 54 0 Bellevue East 81 105 Central 88 133 Roncalli 88 56 Sioux City West 89 96 Ra lston 26 65 Brownell-Talbot 52 2 INVITATIONALS OPS 2nd Lewis Central 6th City 1st Metro 14th DISTRICTS 7th STATE 18th GIRLS SWIMMING S-1 AL OPP Benson 123 59 Gross 52 40 North 115 58 Ronca Iii 73 15 Bellerne East 88 96 Central 137 125 INVITATIONALS OPS 2nd Lady Lynx 2nd Metro 8th S\VIMMING.

He painted a mental picture of where his ball should go, checked the wind direction, and decided how to hit the ball. Everything looked like a normal shot, but this one was going to decide the city championship. Cover and rival Eric Fellows from Lewis Central were tied in the final hole of the city tournament, and the game had gone to sudden death. "This was the first hole of the extra shots," said Cover, "and I always get butterflies on the first hole. My heart was going l ,000 miles per hour, but I seemed to stay pretty calm. I didn't mess with my swing, I tried to block the crowd out, and I kept my head on straight." Cover was successful, making par on the hole while Fellows went over.

" -Sarah Chambers This victory was special for Cover because the previous year, he lost the city championship by one stroke. Cover attributed his victory mainly to a positive mental attitude, a quality that golfers said was indispensable to both the girls' and boys' teams throughout the season. "At the AL-Tee Jay Invitational the whole team shot fairly decently," said John Akers. "We kept our heads up, and if we got a bad score on one hole, we just shook it off and went to the next. We played hole by hole, not the whole course, and that's PAR-FECT PUTT. To make par, Sarah Chambers decides how to hit the ball on the first hole at Dodge Pa rk in a match against Tee Jay.

Though the girls didn't take first in any tournaments, they had successful spring and fall seasons, finishing both with 4-3 records and making great individual improvements. Alicia Hughes earned fifth place at Sectionals, and though she didn't get to advance to Regionals, she shot her best score ever. "I shot a 99 at Sectionals," she said, "and even if it wasn't the best, I was thrilled to get under 110. I just concentrated on doing my best, and didn't worry if I had a bad shot. Because I was confident, I played well." Sarah Chambers, who took medalist honors in every dual except one and won the AL Invitational and the city tournament, said that a positive mental attitude was the most important factor in having a successful match. "It doesn't matter how strong I am or how hard I hit the ball," she said. "If my attitude is good, then I'll win, but if it's bad, then I might as well give up." -Kim Gift GOLF.

WR hen the schedule gets tougher, the team gets smaller, and experience . is suddenly in short supply, what 1s a coach to do? Coaches Mike Batten and Joe Hauser turned to coaching clinics for a few new practice techniques to solve just those problems. The boys' team lacked depth, with 12 fewer runners than last year, and the girls suffered from inexperience after graduating six seniors. The boys' squad was introduced to "Monday workouts," consisting of two and a half miles on the streets and two fast 600 meters on the track. "The Monday workouts added more to practice," said Jon Fenner. ONE, TWO, THREE ... Concentrating on her steps, Paulette Mitchell turns to throw the discus at Denison, where she threw 121 '10".

Many individuals benefitted from concentrating on specific events. The girls qualified six events for State and the boys qualified five.

According to Guido, the ancient soccer villain, Socrates, chose one successful soccer team every year to put a curse on and AL was the one. But Guido offered a solution: to break the curse, the coach was to hand out little rocks Guido had "chiseled from the Parthenon," and each player was to rub the rocks and chant, "we will score goals." The girls did just that, and for one game, the curse was broken and the Lady Lynx pounded Benson 6-1. But once again, the girls' fell to the power of Socrates, losing three more Metro games and falling to Tee Jay for the first time in eight years. ONE STEP AHEAD OF Central's Stephanie King, forward Mindy Patten sets up for a cross pass to center field. (Photo by Julie Stueve) ' AAA A ...... A The loss to ..... '.'

" -Kim Bass "The loss to Tee Jay was especially upsetting," said Kim Bass, "because we were a good team with a lot of potential. We just couldn't score." Like the girls, the guys' team also suffered the curse of Socrates. Five games into the season, the boys had lost both of their starting seniors to injuries. "Losing Josh Eyre and Jeremy Gillette hurt us," said Chad Thielen. "We needed Gillette's speed, and Josh was our best goalie. But the rest of the team never gave up." Just like Socrates, Mother Nature was determined to break the teams' spirits. Throughout the season, rain postponed three boys' games. Mother Nature was also responsible for the tornado which chased the girls off the field and into the National Guard Armory during the first Muscatine tournament game. Once again, the Lady Lynx were forced to overcome adversity and play the rest of the game the following morning in another rain storm. "We were frustrated because we had to play in such awful conditions," said Melody Barajas. "Even so, we never let up despite the fa ct that we couldn't see the ball for the . " ram. Although the curse kept both teams from winning records, it couldn't stop individual successes. Five girls and three boys were named to the All-City teams, and six players made All-Metro. Despite the attempt of Socrates and Mother Nature to destroy two good squads, both soccer teams persevered through the toughest odds. -Melissa Feller BOYS" SOCCER.

"Our hitting and our defense were both so much better than they were the year before," said Swartz. "We ha d 20 runs in our first three games.

Heidi Workman said that although the girls had improved on their defense during pre-season practices, game situations like second base throw-outs and hand signals had not been addressed before their first outing, leading to mental errors in the first few games. But despite making errors like over throwing and striking ou t, the Lady Lynx were blessed with more depth than in previous years. "Even though there are only three seniors on the team, we've got depth," said Workman. "If a starter gets hurt, we can use someone off the bench because they are a ll good." Another plus was that the girls had a second year coach for the first time in three yea rs. "When you have to adjust to a new coach every year, you waste time getting used to each other that could be spent betteri ng the team," sa id Mauer. "We didn't have to mess with that this year and it helped." After winning just three games all season long in 1989 and 12 games in the 1990 season, the Lady Lynx looked to win a t least half of their games in 1991. -E6cka Wellman SO~TBAl.I..

"When they had to stop the game because of our fa ns, it put a damper on the whole game. We lost a ll the intensity we'd built up and it put me in a reall.y bad mood. I eventua lly shrugged it off, but 1t was hard to get psyched up." Like Riggs, assistant principal Mike Messerl i fo und The Mob's behavior unacceptable, but he liked the idea of a student spirit group. 126 f Sports 0 1 played a lot for the fans . . . When I had a good play and the fans cheered I dug a little deeper a;,d played a little harder." -Pat Gibson "Part of the problem was that The Mob wasn't organized," said Messerli. "Whoever wanted .to show up showed up. They weren't ~ortraymg good sportsma nship, and a lot of ~1m~s they used obscene gestures and profa nity in their cheers." Messerli called together key members of The Mob an? as~ed them for input on how to better the s1tuat1on. The kids' solution was the orga ni ation of the Clean Cut Crew, a group d1c t~d. to supporting all a thletic teams m a pos1t1ve way. . The boys no longer dressed in costumes but instead, came to games in every day clothes The Crew a lso refrained from chanting de~ rogatory comments such as, "Your momma says you ugly, hey!" to opposing teammates. . Members of the Crew believed their new image was a good one. . "I ,,thin~ the Clean Cut crew was a good idea, said Aa ron Tha tcher "Wh . · en we cha.n?ed our image, the entire crowd reacted pos1t1vely. I think it rubbed off on the team a nd they played better knowing tha t win 0 ; ose , the row~ would be cheering them on instead of cutting the other team down." . When t~ e crowds ea ll y got into a game, players said they gamed the inspiration t play to the best of their ability. 0 At the Metro Holiday Basketba ll Tourna- ,, ment in December, the huge crowd was a true motivator. "The fans were grea t," sa id Pa t Gibson, "and I found I played a lot for them in that tourna ment. When I ha d a good play and the fans cheered, I dug a little deeper a nd played a little ha rder." But basketba ll players did n't a lways receive the support they needed . During their 10-game losing streak, fan s lost interest and mainly a ttended games fo r socia l reasons. "Sometimes it was rea lly discouraging to play beca use the crowd would just sit there:' said Jason Brink. "We didn't fee l like we were playing for a purpose when everyone was turned around talking to their friend and paying no a ttention to t he game. It got to the point where it didn't really matter if we lost because tha t's wha t the crowd expected." Unlike basketba ll a nd volleyball players, most athletes involved in spring sports never knew what it was like to play in fro nt of a huge crowd, but sometimes the enthusiasm of the crowd could ma ke u p for its small size . Although the girls' soccer team rarely had a crowd of more tha n 20 people, the support they received was enough to keep t hem going. "The fan s were mostly our pa rents and a few close friends," sa id Ge re Nelson, " but their cheering really motivated us to play bette r. When we got tired or frustrated. their support helped us ha ng in the re." Whethe r the fa ns we re behaved or wild, enthused or un interested, they had a defi nite impa ct on at hletes. -Melissa Feller "LET'S GO. 1.YNX!"

Making headlines was nothing new to freshman vocalist Eric Potter. From age 8, when he did his first show, to age 13, when he took first in the Kids of America contest, he got used to stardom. But despite his talent, success did not come without effort. "Music is what I do all day," said Potter. "There isn't a time when I'm without it.

"I have to practice constantly," he said. "I spend 30 hours a week filing, reading, and researching. " Molly Spann, another student who put her talent to work, became an outstanding journalist. She earned 13 awards for her feature stories, including second place in the Iowa High School Journalist of the Year award. "For an in depth feature story, I spend three hours just interviewing and researching plus four hours to write it," said Span~.

Most non-steadies especially liked not having to put up with a boyfriend's or girlfriend's jealousy. "An old steady girlfriend of mine was jealous of my friends," said Cory Brown. "When I'd go out with my friends, she'd ask me what we did, and ifl wouldn't tell her, she'd get really mad because she thought I'd done something bad. When you don't have a steady, you don't have to worry about that." Sara Richey thought it was great when she didn't have to ask a boyfriend for permission to go out with friends. "A friend of mine called this summer and two of our guy friends had invited both of us to go out boating with them at Manawa," said Richey. "We were just friends and I didn't have to worry about explaining or consulting with a boyfriend." Overall, many students enjoyed the freedom of not having a steady. "LET'S GO, LYNX!"

I'm proud to wear the ring because it shows how much he loves and cares for me." When 50 seniors were polled, 16 of the 23 who said they had a steady boy or girlfriend gave security as the main reason for going steady. Part of that security was having someone special to talk to. "I like having someone there who cares," said Cindy Fiala. "My parents and I fight a lot because my dad is on strike, and my boyfriend helps me see things in a different perspective." Steadies also found they could be themselves without having to impress each other. "After wrestling and basketball practices, it's nice that Melissa and I don't have to worry about having our hair all messed up or wearing sweatpants," said George Poulos. "We know how each other looks on a good day so it doesn't matter what we look like on a bad day."

They had taken two vans, one driver by mother Debbie Workman and the other by Coach Mary Kyte. Only an hour had passed before the girls began getting restless. "We were all tired and bored, so I decided to liven things up," said Heidi Workman. "I crawled into the back of the van, shot down my pants, pressed my cheeks to the back window, and mooned Miss Kyte's van. I turned around to see her laughing so hard it was a wonder she kept on the road." High school athletics, designed to promote challenge and build character often provided a setting for funny memo~ies . Like the volleyball team, baseball players also took to the open road. Celebrating the end of the season, the team decided to road-trip to Adventureland. As the guys waited in line for a roller coaster, they encountered a clan of trueblue Harley riders, complete with hippie hair, torn t-shirts, and black jackets. "Chris Sorensen was being his normal, Seniors find fun and adventure on athletic road trips crazy self and decided to strike up a conversation with these guys," said Ryan Meis. "After a few minutes of talking like we were lifelong friends, we split up to ride the rides with the Harley dudes."

Little did they know they were about to witness a murder somewhat like those in a blood a nd guts horror movie. It all started when Pa t Hughes had the idea to play a joke on them when they arrived. Wanting to be the serial killer in the scena rio, Hughes pulled a ski mask over his fac e, grabbed a large knife from a drawer in the kitchen, and dressed in a long black trenchcoat, ready for action.

When they heard a car engine and saw headlights, they began their adventure. Hughes chased Stoufer up the steep hill, holding his knife. When he finally got him, he threw Stoufer to the ground and acted as if he were stabbing him. Stoufer twisted and turned, trying to escape, but he couldn't see because Heinz catsup covered his face in place of blood. " I was in the house and had changed my clothes when Heather and Shawn got inside," said Hughes. "When they asked where Stoufer was, we told them he got mad and left. Heather said she saw someone who looked like him outside being chased. That's when Stoufer fell against the glass door with blood all over his face and slid down. Heather's eyes got all red like she was about ready to bawl." While most prankers didn't create such gore, plenty of juniors found creative ways to get a good laugh. Some even became the victim of their own pranks. One Friday night, Jenny Schultz, Jessica Wilks, and Tori Christie were taken to a cemetery in Underwood by Amy Andersen and Lori Fehr. Andersen and Fehr had it planned that two boys from Underwood would be hiding in the woods, ready to scare the other three girls. " I was mad because Lori and I told the guys just to jump out from a tree, not chase us around with flashlights," said Andersen. "As they chased us, I wasn't sure if it was them or the man who took care of the cemetery, so I was just as scared. " Whether planning a vicious massacre or just a simple scare in the woods, juniors created interesting pranks. -Krissa Rossbund Mike Bradshow Scott Brandenburg Kim Brandis Jeremy Brewer Shellie Brown Kristen Capron Megan Caputo Toni Caputo Amy Champlin Stacy Chri tian en Tori Chri tie Brett Cihacek Brandon Clay Rusty Clevenger Calvin Colson Mike Colter Dan Colton Jim Comley Tyler Conawa~ Mark Cooper Ryan Cooper Darr n Coppock Tim Cordell Todd Cover Korey Cox Jennifer Dall Rick Day John Diercks James Dorris Andy Drustrup Niki Ellerbeck Bonnell Ellerbruch Allen Emmert Heather Ellingsen Chad Ellison Haley Evans Lori Fehr Leslie Feilen Heather Fent Brian Ferguson Jennifer Fields Heath Finerty Jon Fitch Coco Fossland Jennifer Freed Micky Frieze Theresa Frieze Michelle Glassgow Anne Goodman Jessica Goodman Jennifer Gregory Cindy Gress Heather Haines Chris Hall Dennis Hanafan Carrie Harrill Jim Hartzell Alyson Hecke Derrick Henry Debbie Hestness Chris Hinkel Clint Hinman Todd Hollinger Chris Holmes Jill Hovinga Nichole Hudson Pat Hughes Jeremy Hutchens Justin Hutchens Chad Hutchison Bryan Jensen Scott Jensen Katie Johannes Amy Johnson Clinton Johnson Jason Johnson Krissie Johnson Rachel Johnson Penny Jones Kristina Kachulis Kerry Karis Valerie Katzenstein Susan Keast Kerry Keegan Tony Kellett Ryan Kelley Chad Kenoyer Curt Kenoyer Mike Kidder Laura Kimrey Roger King Todd King Michelle Kinnecom Dedra Kirk Stephanie Knauss Kristi Knoernschild Juniors crave school changes including kinder teachers, open campus, bigger lockers "THE TEACHERS should pay more attention to the individual needs of students.

I have first hour study hall, and it's stupid for us to be there. Everyone comes in late anyway. It's a waste of time for Mr. Whyte because he could just have a conference period instead of taking the trouble of getting mad at people for always showing up late." Todd King "I'D LIKE to see people working together more and not judging others by the way they look and who their friends are. I see too many people who are afraid to be themselves because they are afraid people won't like them." Theresa Savick "THE OPEN CAMPUS policy would make more sense than our current policy.

"When I got home, I'd get my homework out and think about how nice it would be to get it done; then I'd fall asleep over my books." When school got out at 3:05, Fehr an,d other. working students knew their day wasn't over. In fact, 3 o. clock signaled the beginning of a schedule ev~n more hectic t~an ~be school day, a schedule which caused their grades and social hves to suffer. Fehr, who worked two jobs to earn money for a trip to California, found that her grades dropped as a result of the many hours spent at work. "Last year I had a 3.9 GPA. This year it dropped to a 3.4," said Fehr. "Instead of getting A's and B's on tests, I was getting C's. Basically, I just blew off school." . For Julie Stueve, employed at Hy-Vee, working five to close often meant that she didn't get home until 11:30 p.m. and then had to stay up until 1 :30 or 2 ~.m. doing homework. "Sometimes I fell asleep dunng class because I stayed up so late the night before trying to finish my homework," said Stueve. Because of busy schedules, working students also found that their social lives sometimes suffered. "On Friday and Saturday nights, I want to go out with my friends, but by the time I get off work, it's late and I'm too tired to do anything," said Paulette Mitchell, who worked at Tbingsville. "I just want to go home, eat dinner, watch T.V., and go to sleep." Even though their jobs caused students to live a rushed, chaotic lifestyle, most wouldn't give up working. "On nights that I work, I feel really rushed," said David Pippert, "but I would never quit, because I'd miss having the extra money." 've mastered the art of mooching," laughed Jennie Wheeldon. "I'd never have time to work anyway - there's always something else I could be doing." Wheeldon was among the few juniors who didn't work a job outside of school. These students and their parents believed that doing well in school and just being a kid were their most important jobs. "My parents don't want me to work," said Andi Wheeler, who was involved in band, orchestra, drama and mock trial. "It's enough just going to school and doing extracurricular activities. I don't need another job." These students admitted they needed and enjoyed free time. "I have more time to do things and not as much stress," said Jason Johnson. "I get enough stress in school and stress in sports. Why should I get a job to add to that? I need time to relax, and a job would just interfere with my activities." Since parents agreed with these students' decisions not to work, Mom and Dad were willing to supply needed funds. "I received $11 a week for an allowance, which I usually spend on tapes, books, and beauty products" said Stacey Spratt. "My parents also give me extra money for lunch and sometimes for other school needs." Some parents found that providing money whenever needed proved to work just as well as a weekly allowance. "I just take money whenever I need it," said Johnson. "I don't think about how much I spend, but I don't abuse the privilege of having the money either. " Students who didn't work outside of school agreed that their job of just being a kid had such great hours and pay that they weren't willing to give it up. -Barb Wehrmacher Michelle Miller Paulette Mitchell Cathy Montgomery Jamie Mowery Shane Mowery Jennica Munch Lisa Nath Amy Negrete Jennifer Negrete Dennis Nice Denise ffbrien Tim Opal Jeremy Osborn Becki Owen Chris Parker Chris Pengra Mark Petersen Danny Phillips Michele Pietrzak.

Although most students didn't let an embarrassing experience keep them from going out again, some found humiliating situations led to disaster. "While Diane Kalar and I were watching Flatliners, I went to get pop and a big tub of popcorn," said Aaron Brooks. "When I came back, I dropped it as I sat down. I didn't get any on me, but she was sitting in popcorn the whole night! "At first, I thought it was hilarious, but I started pondering the situation and I thought, 'I'm sure this looks really good on my record.' I didn't know if she was mad, but the date was a failure - we never went out on a date again.'' Although Kalar and Brooks found themselves in a disaster, they laughed at the situation later. "At the time, 1 really liked him, so I felt embarrassed for him," said Kalar. "I didn't wa nt to make him feel stupid, so I just sat there. We're still friends and we can joke a bout wha t ha ppened. We sometimes ask each other, 'Want some popcorn?' and then we'll both laugh.''

Everyone says we're over in the Middle East to protect Kuwait, but the only reason we care about Kuwait is that they sell us oil. We should be over there to help Kuwait and their people." -Randy Ballenger "The United States is used to getting involved in other people's business and sticking our noses where they don't belong. We're probably going to go to war because both the President and the Iraqi's don't want to lose credibility at home. If we were seriously in the Middle East to stop aggression, then I would be more in favor of us being over there, but I think we just don't want to back down." -Mike Angeroth "At first, I thought we were in the Middle East because Hussein had American hostages. But now that they're gone, I think we're over there because our gas prices are too high. I think we should just hire a sniper to kill Hussein because nobody would have enough power to take his place. Then we would save a lot of time, men, and money, and Kuwait would be free." -Kirsten LeCJair Interested in what happens day after day in the Persian Gulf, Gere Nelson watches CNN's continuous news broadcast in the library on the twenty-first day of the war.

The shadows of the brick building overpower you as you make your way into your first hour class. Confused and quiet, you request the services of a senior to guide you to English. Suddenly, the senior and his three burly friends pick you up and stuff you into a locker. You have just experienced your first day of high school. Although this is an exaggerated scenario, some found that being a freshman had its embarrassing moments. Pranks were played in a variety of places, but the most common proved to be the bathroom. Dan DeRoos learned what the dreaded 'swirly' was like when two of his basketball teammates gave him one after practice. "These two guys came after me," said DeRoos. "One grabbed my feet and the other got my arms. I was trying to get out, but he had a good hold on my legs and I couldn't move. Now, every time I go in the locker room, I think I better watch out because they might do it again ." Although victims and perpetrators were sometimes in the same grade, most pranks were played by upperclassmen. Nate Barges and several other freshmen were the victims of a prank when they had to bob for apples in a toilet for freshman initiation. "Everyone gathered around chanting 'go, go!"' said Barges. " I didn't want to do it because I thought it was stupid, but everyone else did, so I did too. We did make sure they cleaned out the toilet first." Even though many emba rrassing moments were the result of carefully planned events, some occurred by accident. Mike Bass discovered how embarrassing the restroom could be when he was 'caught with his pants down.' "I was going to the bathroom when these two girls came flying in," said Bass. " I turned around a nd pulled up my pants like lightning. The most embarrassing thing was they were in my next hour, and they just sat there and laughed at me." Although no freshmen died of embarrassment, many found that one of their purposes in life was to provide laughs for others. -Kelli Smith PEER PRESSURE Demonstra ting acti vities used for freshman initia tion, Dudley M iller pus hes John Weseen's head into a toilet to bob for a pples.

" This was the opinion voiced by many hard working teachers even after average teacher salaries had risen from $21,690 in 1985 to $26,747 in 1989. Despite this rise of 23 percent since Governor Terry Branstad's promise to improve salaries in 1986, only seven out of 20 teachers polled said their salaries had improved significantly over the past four yea rs. Teache rs gave three main reasons their sala ries were inadequate. One of these was the great amount of stress resulting from the job. "We're all under a great amount of stress," said Peggy Rodriguez, foreign langu age instructor. "There's the stress of dealing with a lot of people every day. We're expected to always be in a good mood eve n when we have our own personal problems. There's a lso stress involved in fin di ng the time to do what we need to do. We a lmost always have to take our work home with us." Another factor was the years of education necessary to become a teacher. "People in engineering or a science related field have much higher starting salaries than teachers, even though they might have the same amount of education," said Orville Miller, math instructor. The final reason was that salaries had not risen with inflation. "Teachers are probably not better off now than they were in 1973," said Steve Barker, science instructor. "Our base sa laries have not risen as fast as the price of everything else has. We started to lose ground in about 1980." A lthough salaries did not reflect the amount of stress, time, and yea rs of education put in by teachers, some said a few improvements were being made. "Over the last five years we've done a better job improving salaries," said Jacque Hall, English instructor. "We've made some strides, but we still have many improvements to make." -Karen Barker SCHOOL BOARD. Glen Bahls. Mark B111ndenburg. Rita Sralock. Ke, in Monroe. Joanne Carril hers. [. Lloyd Marsh.

While the nation suffered a recession, Council Bluffs continued to profit and share. The Christmas season was a profitable one for area retailers. The Mall of the Bluffs enjoyed a record-breaking 8 percent increase in sales over last year. . Businesses not only profited, but also played an important role in the school system as well. With 56 businesses involved in the adopt-a-school program, area schools enjoyed several benefits that would have been impossible without their business pa rtners. " Ta rget rea lly helped our yea rbook staff organize the singing party at the Mall," said Krissa Rossbund . "They got together about eight volunteers who helped check IDs and hand out books." In return for the support of the business community, many students volunteered their time to city organizations. Up With Kids, a program designed to help working parents with after school babysitting needs, was just one of the programs students became involved in. Three times a week, Kathy Montgomery went to Bloomer to held entertain 15 kids. "At first I thought Up With Kids was just another babysitting job," said Montgomery, " but I soon realized these kids were rea lly important to me." FOUND: Council Bluffs - a " class" -ified community where the economy and volunteerism continued to grow. -Melissa Feller Ads Division + 169 o o u u u u v v v v v v"" "'"'v "'v v v v v v""" o ..., .., o """ .... o - .., o - - o - - o - - o .... - o - - o ~ - o - - o - .... o ~ "'O ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo o r ~ '::\0 ~ 0 o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o ~ o o 0 ° 0 0 ' o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 0 o o O O O O O o O 0 0 0 0 o 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 O O o 0 o o 0 o O o o 0 O o , 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ~ 0 0 ~ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o o 0 , 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 00000 0 0 000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 000 00000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .o 0 0 0 • 0 0 0 · 0 ° 0 0 o 0 o 0 .'

While some got to know the tall, thin, gray haired stranger before school began, he remained unknown to most until he appeared at a pep assembly on the first day of school. On that day, he left students and faculty with an impression that would last a lifetime. Jim Lake, our new principal from Galt, CA, stood in the middle of the gym floor and asked that we recite the Pledge of Allegiance with him. As we mumbled the pledge that had not been part of our routine since grade school, sounds of chit chat rose over our monotonous recitation. Out of the blue, Lake's voice blared through the microphone as he demanded that we respect the stars and stripes. "We'll sit here all day if we have to," he said. "We'll sit until every one of you stands up and pays respect to this flag that means so much to so many of us in this room." It was then that we knew Jim Lake meant business. Finally, after two tries, the Pledge was recited to his satisfaction. "I thought it was strange to be saying the Pledge in the first place," said Chad Hutchison. "Then when he got upset because we couldn't say it right, we thought he was going to be really strict. But after a while, we knew he was only showing he cared." As the year went on, Lake continued to show his concern for students. He served food at lunch, gave us smiles and pats on the back in the halls, and congratulated us over the intercom. As students responded to Lake's warmth, a new spirit of cooperation and excitement seemed to emerge. Out of the blue, more of us arrived to class on time, kept the hallways clean, (continued on page 4) portive o -c Kenoyer ;tf AGIC CART RfDE With a terrified look on her face, Coco Fossland rides in a Target shopping cart while Amy Andersen and Heather Haines push during the second annual shopping cart races at the homecoming pre-game festivities.

Although we were surprised by our new attitude, it was nothing compared to the surprise we got when the Lynx faced Tee Jay on the football field. After three quarters of Tee Jay racking up 16 points against the powerless Lynx, the fourth quarter began with little hopes of winning. Then, out of the blue, the Lynx pushed through the Tee Jay defense and scored their first touchdown with less than 11 minutes left in the game. Therestwashistory. TheLynx scored two more touchdowns to defeat the Y ellowjackets 22-16. "The best moment in the season was that final touchdown against Tee Jay," said Scott Brandenburg. "The crowd went nuts, and I just felt numb." But football players weren'tthe only ones to surprise a crowd with their performance. At the first basketball pep assembly of the year, the winter guard, a new version of the color guard, was scheduled to perform. As the 19-member group marched onto the gym floor in their sparkling red jackets, most fans expected a less than perfect routine like those of past color guard performances. But after a bugle blared out the first measures of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," out of the blue came a near flawless performance that included three flag tosses and a short dance number by four of the girls. "When the crowd started cheering us on, we felt like all our hard work had been rewarded," said ChristinaMcManus. "It says a lot when the whole school's behind you like that." As the school year began, 1992 seemed to be a year full of surprises that came out of the blue. -Michele White U! hen we went out for a good Council Bluffs to the stadium before the time, we didn't mess around. homecoming game.

As John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" blared over the speakers, they joined hands and swayed back and forth to the music. This was the scenario when a sit- ;n was held after lunch on Hippie Day during homecoming week. While some students passed out flowers and blew bubbles others waved picket signs and dre~ peace symbols on their faces. "The sit-in was the best part of Hippie Day because it was like one big party," said Chad Hutchison. "Everybody was just dancing and having a good time doing things they wouldn't normally do." Although Hippie Day was the most popular, students showed their spirit on Nerd Day, Crazy Day, Hawaiian Day, and Spirit Day by developing different personalities for each. The days were part of the homecoming theme "Escapade." While tardies were usually frequent on Monday mornings, students made an effort to be prompt Oct. 14 for Nerd Day. Pocket protectors, thick glasses, and slicked back hair were essential items to complete an authentic nerd outfit. <?n Crazy Day, students used their creativity to generate the wildest outfits. While most dressed up in clothes of the opposite sex, others wore pj's or put their clothes inside out or backwards. "The girls' swim team all wanted to do something together for Crazy Day," said Angie Johnson, "so we wore our team suits, goggles, caps, FLOWER POWER. Bell bottoms and "Beetle" glasses adorn Rachel Warden and Kristy McClary, who walk down the ramp on Hippie Day. (P hoto by Amy Negrete) jackets, and towels. Some even brought kickboards. We had to walk up the stairs backwards because we wore fins on our feet, and the front of them wouldn't fit on the steps." Attire for Hawaiian Day included flower printed shirts, hula skirts, and sunglasses. Some even tried cracking coconuts in half to make bikini tops. To complete the outfits, the student council sold flower leis before school. Friday brought the most spirit, as students and faculty anticipated the homecoming game against Westside. Whether football jerseys, cheerleading uniforms, or plain street clothes were worn, red, white, and blue dominated the halls. To humor and entertain the crowd at the homecoming pep assembly, the porn pon squad invited senior football players to perform with them. As the players jumped into the air, kicked their legs high, and slid into the splits, students and teach~rs roared with laughter. "The whole week of homecoming events was so much fun," said Matt Allerton. "Everyone showed a lot of spirit, and our spirit was especially evident at the pep assembly. I think it was one of the best since I've been at this school." On Friday, spirit continued long past the school hours. Soon after the 3:05 bell rang, signaling the end of another school day, students were found in the parking lot taping posters, balloons, and streamers to their vehicles for the annual car rally to CB Stadium, which was attended by a record 52 cars. After arriving at the stadium, students formed teams for the car rally Olympics, where they competed against each other in several events before the football game.

Although the football game ended with a 21-59 loss, spirit and excitement still prevailed as students and teachers journeyed to the mall to pick up their 1991 yearbooks at the annual yearbook signing party. "It was neat to see everybody looking through their yearbooks," said staffer Kelli Smith. "Since school started, people have asked about the book. It feels good to see everyone so excited about something it took the staff so long to do." The week of festivities finally ended Oct. 19, with a dance sponsored by student council. Dressed in their best fall attire, students filed through a strobe lighted tunnel and into the big gym, where theatre masks and green, gold, and purple light posts transformed their night into a true "Escapade." Halfway through the night, the homecoming court made its way to the center stage for coronation. There Scott Jensen and Paulette Mitchell were crowned homecoming royalty. "I had a feeling I was going to win," said Paulette Mitchell. "I felt great when I heard them call my name. It shows times are changing when a black person in a nearly all white school can be crowned queen and everyone is happy for her."

He tried to dampen spirits by leaving us with spring-like weather, no money to spend, and dull, undecorated school building. But those who were thoughtful and creative spoiled his efforts. After Halloween was canceled because of bad weather, everyone expected the usual midwest winter that would leave inches of glistening snow to wake up to on Christmas morning. But when the big day finally approached, it became clear that the Grinch had taken away all hopes of a white Christmas, as he left midlanders with bright sunshine and temperatures in the upper 40's. Some students, however, went searching for winter weather. During Christmas vacation, I went to Keystone and Copper Mountain to ski," said Gere Nelson. "It was a lot better than being home where the weather was too warm for Christmas. In Colorado, there was snow and it was cold so it actually felt like the holidays." The Grinch didn't stop with stealing the snow. He also managed to rob students of their cash, in the name of recession. Most of them, however, used their imagination to come up with gift ideas that still made their Christmas special. "My sister and I didn't have a whole lot of money to spend on my parents," said Kellie Bottrell. "We wanted to get them something special, so we dug up all of our school pictures from each year and had them put on video and set to music. "On Christmas morning, we put the tape in the VCR and wrapped up the remote for them. As my mom pushed play and watched the tape, she got tears in her eyes." The Grinch's tricks on the economy affected parents' budgets even more, and many students were left with fewer presents under the tree. Yet, most didn't let the lack of gifts ruin their holiday. "This year, we didn't have presents at my house because my dad (continued on page 14) TROLL TIME.

She also broke her arm. It wasn't a very fun holiday." -Matt Timm Students undo (jrincli's ... ah Humbug lost his job," said Melissa Winn. "But this was definitely the best Christmas I've ever had because now I realize that the true meaning of Christmas is what you already have, not what you're getting. Christmas night, my family and I stayed up until 2 a.m. playing games and that really made us closer." Most students agreed that doing projects with their family was the best part of Christmas. "Every year, my cousins, brothers, sisters, and I make up a skit to perform in front of our families. We've been doing this as long as I can remember and it gets better every year. This Christmas, we made Santa Claus into a mass murderer." Meanwhile at school, the Grinch continued to steal the fun out of the Christmas Dance. Although the Foreign Exchange Club spent more than three months developing the theme "Ice Castles," many students found the dance disappointing. "The dance seemed empty this year," said Susan Keast. "A lot of seniors didn't have dates and didn't want to spend that much money." Although many students didn't enjoy the dance, they still found ways to make the night memorable. "We rented a room at the Residence Inn," said John Rocha. "There were about 30 people there, and we just sat around acting crazy and playing games." The Grinch also used his antics to take the fun out of past years' decorating contests, which had been held through the now defunct homeroom. "I was disappointed that the school wasn't decorated this year," said Becca Moline. "In our A.P. Chemistry class, we decided to have a little contest on our own. We each decorated our lab tables to see whose was the best." DECA and student council planned innovative fundraisers to keep up the spirit that the Grinch was trying to destroy. For the annual food drive, DECA members set up a volleyball game between the vol eyball and football teams. To attend, students had to either pay $I or bring two cans of food. Instead of bringing old toys from home for the annual toy drive, student council members decided to collect money in second hour classes to buy new toys. After money was collected, more than 80 new toys were bought by second hour classes for the less fortunate. "We thought a little kid would be even more excited to get a brand new toy instead of a hand-medown," said Chad Kenoyer. "When we bought the gifts ourselves, we could control the quality." Administrators also got in the act of increasing Christmas spirit. As students sat in their fifth hour classes, a big "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!" blared over the intercom. While students and teachers waited to see what was going to happen next, they suddenly heard several loud voices echoing throughout the hallways. Dressed as two elves, a reindeer, and Santa Claus, the four administrators darted in and out of classes, throwing miniature candy canes everywhere. "Mr. Lake one day asked us if we could throw together some costumes," said vice-principal Melanie Shellberg. "We did it just to have some fun and excitement before Christmas, and it gave the kids a chance to see us in a different light." From traveling to find snow, to keeping spirit at school, students found several ways to spoil the Grinch's tricks on Chr:istmas. -Krissa Rossbund TREASURED MOMENTS.

"Once it got out that people could bet $2 on a square for a duck to poop on, people became interested," said Stanley Workman. Sponsored by the volleyball team, Duck Drop Bingo was just a sample of the activities at Lynx-0- Rama. With 17 booths, clubs took in a total of $4069 in tickets. "This year was the best year for Lynx-0-Rama," said Booster Club president Diane Hughes. "The groups took in more money, and the response we got from people was that it was fun!" As they manned booths ranging from the choir's face painting to the porn pon squad's tee-pee patrol, workers found ways to have fun too. "I helped with the Science Club booth," said Jason Christie. "The game was a dart-toss to pop a balloon. To add a little more excitement, we started making water.balloons. When they popped, water splattered all over everyone." Working at the booths wasn't the only way to have fun, though. With many games and prizes to choose from, everyone had plenty of chances to try their luck. "My favorite booth was the pie throwing booth," said Andy Smith. "Mark Cooper and I spent $1 O throwing pies at Mark Smith. There was no way we could miss our chance at him." Extra activities such as free video movies of the Three Stooges and a celebrity basketball game entertained crowds outside the booth area. A silent and live auction was sponsored by the Booster Club on Saturday night, where people had the chance to bid on things like spots in the teachers' parking lot. "For the live auction, my mom donated a five course dinner, served by members of the football team in tuxes," said Jon Fenner. "She talked me into dressing up in a tux at the auction. It sucked because I had to be there all night. I wanted to watch the game, but I would have felt dumb there in a tux, so I didn't go." Like Booster Club, DECA members used the winter blahs to their advantage, planning a Valentine's dance fundraiser Feb. 14. But just as Lynx-0-Rama caught on slowly four years ago, the new dance didn't attract much interest. "Our ticket sales started out slow," said Heather Williams, "about 10 a day, but we sold more at the door. We didn't want to make a big profit this year, though. We wanted to stress the idea of a court for each grade, and hopefully, it will become more successful." Since the dance was on Friday, DECA had only a few hours to transform the big gym into a Valentine's Day dream land. "Everyone in DECA helped set up for the dance," said Scott Brandenburg. "We began decorating during fifth hour and stayed 'til about 6:30. Everyone had a part in it, so we made it fun." After all the food had been ordered and the last balloon hung, DECA had spent a grand total of $1500. With 350 tickets sold, they broke even on the dance. With a successful fundraiser and a new idea, winter proved a great time for groups to make money. -Lori Fehr GOTCHA!!

"I didn't think something like that could ever happen to anyone like him!" Shocked feelings like Nation's swept across the country Nov. 7 when Magic Johnson held a press conference to announce that he was retiring from the Los Angeles Lakers because he was infected with HIV. Despite this announcement, many students said they still had respect for Johnson. "I still think that Magic is a great guy," said Pat Russell. "He definitely did the right thing by telling the public about his disease. Hopefully, he can reach more people this way. " Because Johnson contracted the virus through unsafe heterosexual contact, many also thought his announcement would cause more teens to be aware of AIDS and the consequences of unsafe sex. In poll of 130 students, 98 said Johnson's situation would cause an increase in safe sex. "Up until now, no really famo us person has gotten AIDS," said Carrie Brookhart. "Now that Magic Johnson has it, I think teens will take the time to listen to his advice about safe sex because he is an important role model that most kid look up to." Some teens weren't as optimistic, though. Thirty-one of the 44 students who reported that they were sexually active said Johnson's announcement wouldn't change their behavior. "When you get ready to jump into bed, I don't think Magic Johnson is going to be on your mind," said one junjor polled. Although a few didn't think Johnson's anouncement would make a difference, most agreed that if the spread of the disease were to be stopped, people needed to realize the seriousness of it and take precautions.

After weeks of struggle. 11 Soviet states declared their independence. Tired of an angered popu lu s, Mikha il Gorbachev, leader of the communist party, stepped down from his position, and Boris Yeltsin assumed the presidency. "I wa<; glad to hear that the Soviets had been released from communism, but this doesn't automatically mean we're going to have world peace,'' said Brian Kruse. After building up arms against them for 50 years, the U.S. was suddenly trying to keep the Soviet economy from collapsing so that Soviet nuclear weapons would remain in the hands of a stable government. The fall of communism was not the only turning point of 199 I, however. A burden of worry was lifted when American hostages Terry Anderson, Joseph Cicippio, and Allan Steen were fianlly released from Lebanon in early December, after years of futil e attempts to free them. "The count1)' worri ed about them for so long that it was a relief when they were finally released," said Christin a McManus. WATCHJNG THE CHANGE ...

But eight months and 30 interviews later, she earned mjnimum wage at JC Penney's. " J expected to make about $24,000 a year, but with the economy the way it is, people our parents' age are being laid off who have 30 or so years work experience," she said. "They can't find jobs, so they take the ones that recent college graduates normally would get." With the downsizing of America's major businesses such as Zale, which closed 400 stores; IBM, which cut 20,000 jobs; and General Motors, which laid off 70,000 workers, it's no wonder college graduates became dismayed. Even people who had been employed by the same company for 20 years or more lost their jobs and found it nearly impossible to land new ones. "I'm still lookjng for a full-time job because I feel I'm worth more than minimum wage," sllid Marcia Lamb, mother of Amber Nelson and former supervisor for the Census Bureau. 73 6% 53 National Unemployment Rate 1990-1991 I II III IV I II III IV 1990-1991 quarterly report from the 1992 Almanac "Right now, though, I have to settle for a part time job at Ray's Carpet." Even though Omaha's economy was praised as one of the strongest in the nation by the Wall Street Journal, some still felt the crunch of recession. "Since my dad lost his job at Mutual of Omaha, we had to put our house up for sale because of house payments and other bills," said Melissa Winn. "That was really hard for me because I've had to watch my parents' dreams die after they worked so hard to have the house built." According to the Aug. 19 Time magazine, nearly one 1nillion workers had been laid off. Although Iowa's unemployment rate was one of the lowest in the nation, it had gone up 14 percent compared to last year. To maintain their income, some residents were forced to move. Due to the closing of the U.S. West building in Omaha, where her father worked, Amy Hayes's family had to relocate to Denver. "When I found out we had to move, I was shocked," she said. "I've lived here all my life, and now I might have to start all over my senior year of high school." According to her father, Leslie Hayes, the company cut 30,000 jobs in the last 10 years and Fall 1991 News •• planned to operate in Denver and Seattle to stay competitive with the market. Although some residents found work loca11y after being laid off, they often settled for less pay. Curt Kenoyer sllid his father, who had worked at Food Services of America for four years, was laid off for three months before receivincr "' a job offer as a produce buyer. ms father made $5000 less annually, but Curt sllid he was content. "It makes you appreciate the thlngs you have because it could all be gone," he sllid. "We're more cautious with our money now." Students were also affected at their own jobs. Chris Jones had worked at Rhoden Auto Center a year before they laid him off. "It's weird because I used to work 30 to 40 hours a week and make $ 150," he said. "Now I _work at Drug Town, and I'm lucky if I get eight hours and a $40 check." Even though local economjc tatistics were much better than national ones, the positive reports meant little to those who felt the pllin of cutbacks and layoffs. SHE HAD SO MANY CHILDREN ...

"We sang songs and waved at everyone! These people on a motorcycle even stopped beside us and asked if we had anywhere to go. Tera sat down and told them that she was staying right there, and I just stood there because I couldn't stop laughing!" Like Hathaway and Roberts, many students embarked on their own strange and exciting adventures while searching for something to overtake boredom. After an in-service day, three swim team members, Mica Smith, Janet Danburg, and Allison Borman, wondered how to spend the extra hour they had before their two-hour swim practice. "We were so bored," said Borman. "We drove around and then decided to try and get ourselves lost. We turned down a bunch of backroads, but we always seemed to find our way out! Now that I think about it, I can't believe we ever did anything that stupid, but I guess we all had a pretty good time." Some students had the time of their life when they spent a night on the town in first class style. Dressed in their best threads Andrea Wheeler and a group of friends rented a limousine and rode over to The Old Market. While they were there, the group visited The Antiquarium Bookstore, ate at The French Cafe, enjoyed dessert at Ted and Walley's Ice Cream Parlor, and traveled through the streets on a carriage ride. "We must have spent over an hour in The Antiquarium Bookstore," said Wheeler. "We just stayed in there singing and dancing! It was one of the best times I've ever had." To increase the excitement of some adventures, students dared each other to do crazy things for a few dollars. In the early hours of one weekend morning, Bill Waugh and Chris Bauer ran down Twenty-Third Avenue in their underwear screaming as loud as they could to earn some extra money. "At first we weren't going to do it," said Waugh. "But then this guy said that he would give us $10 if we did, so we both thought that it would be great! We went down the street screaming so loud a bunch of people started turning on their lights. After that, we ran back to rny house as fast as we could so that we wouldn't get caught." Some students proved that a good practical joke was an adventure in itself. After purchasing 134 rolls of generic toilet paper, John Whyte and a group of friends decorated one sophomore girl's yard for nearly an hour. "There were two huge trees and a long row of bushes in the backyard, and when we were done you could barely see them," said Whyte. "We even spelled a few words in the driveway just before we left." In the late hours of another night, Whyte and his friends sneaked into Forest Glenn for a different adventure. Although the group bad originally intended to steal some pumpkins, their plans changed when they arrived. "We were all standing in a corner rounding up a bunch of pumpkins when this huge guy caught us. He said that he was going to beat us up, so we dropped the pumpkins and ran as fast as we could," said Whyte. Whether it was taking a stroll down the street in pajamas, or going to The Old Market in a limo, many students created their own adventures to relieve the monotony of life in the Bluffs. -Mary R yai1 TEE-PEE KING.

Here was Jesus about to be crucified, and we were all eating Kleenex!" -Theresa Savick 'Drama puts {earning in tlie ... potlight G athered together in a circle on the choir room floor, the cast of Godspell began to practice the final song in the musical. When it was time for Dan DeRoos, who had the part of Jesus, to sing, the rest of the group realized he was crying. In a matter of moments, they found themselves with tears streaming down their own faces. "All of a sudden, the magnitude of the play's message just hit us," said Melissa Timm. "I think that was the first time that Dan realized that his character was actually going to die and understood the significance of Jesus dying for our sins. That was the most beautiful experience I've ever had. We used up a whole box of Kleenex from crying that night." Through drama productions, students learned many valuable lessons. DeRoos learned that he could handle the challenge of playing the lead role in Godspell, despite what others said. "It was different being a sophomore and having the lead role," said DeRoos. "There were people who thought I was too young and couldn't handle it, but everything worked out great. I got a lot of good comments on my performance." For some who hadn't been quite as involved in theater in the past, even a small part was chaUenging. "I was in Pinocchio last year, but I didn't have a speaking part," said Carrie Brookhart. "This year in Antigone I had the part of the nurse and I had to learn how to memorize lines and work a lot on characterization. It was a valuable experience and a lot of fun." Others learned how to perfect their acting technique. "Godspell taught me so much about acting," said Jackie Daley. "By learning to concentrate, I was able to actually become my character. It is a skill that wiU definitely help me with future plays." While Godspell taught actors the importance of working well with others their own age, the children's theater production of Hansel and Gretel helped high school actors gain a better understanding of young children. "One day we were practicing a song and one of the kids started crying because he sang the wrong part," said Lisa Kehm. "I had to comfort him and reassure him that everything would be all right. That helped me to become more patient and understanding." Part of the challenge of a drama production was the close attention paid to details. Shannon Benna discovered how difficult this could be when she was responsible for finding costumes for I do! I do! "I spent eight or nine hours shopping in thrift stores looking for exactly the right costumes," said Benna. " It was a difficult job because I had to find costumes that could fit any time period, looked good on the actors, didn't cost much, and were easy to change out of quickly between scenes." Perhaps the most important lesson students could learn from drama was that they were capable of things they never though possible. "When I was in Hansel and Gretel I had a very tough schedule," said Andi Wheeler. "Besides the play, I was very busy with band and had several tough classes. Once the play was over, I looked back on everything and got a strong sense of accomplishment. I learned that the hours I had put in finally paid off because the play was a success and I was able to succeed in other areas." Through the challenge of this year's drama productions such as Godspell, Hansel and Gretel, and I do! I do!, students learned lifelong lessons that were not likely to be forgotten. -Kai-en Barker HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

"I've spent more than $500 on my cards," said Johnson. "It's not easy figuring which is the best buy. You have to think about the shape the card is in because one little bent corner could lower the value by 15 percent. But when I see a really good card, I know it's worth the money." Like Johnson, 112 out of 127 students polled said they spent time and money on their favorite hobby. Although baseball card collecting was a common hobby among boys, with 24 out of 68 surveyed saying they were collectors, some favored more unusual pastimes, such as the mind game, Dungeons and Dragons Jake Ainslie, who started playing Dungeons and Dragons in the eighth grade, said he spent about 24 hours a week playing the game, which requires players to act out the adventures of Renaissance characters with the aid of dice. Instead of a game board, Dungeons and Dragons required only the player's imagination. "I love the way it makes me feel when I can let my imagination run wild," said Ainslie. "I try not to get too involved in it, though, because you can easily get hooked." Getting hooked on the game could cost lots of money. "You need books for a guideline," Ainslie said. "They tell what a cer- . tain character can do, or what kind of weapon would be best for the journey. They cost about $15 a piece, so you could probably go broke buying them. However, if you don't have the money to buy them, you can make up your own adventure." While some students preferred the mental battling of Dungeons and Dragons, others preferred hobbies which were physically challenging. Of the 59 girls polled, 15 said they had taken either gymnastic or dancing lessons at some time. Misty Morris, who began dancing at three, found her hobby sometimes painful, but she loved it. "When I was in a workshop in Houston, we danced for such long periods of time," she said, "that my legs felt like they were on fire. When I got home, I had to soak them in ice, they hurt so bad." Besides her Friday night dance class, Morris taught dance lessons Monday through Thursday for four hours and on Saturdays for seven hours. Like Morris, Shannon Rindone found that dedication to a hobby could be time consuming and painful. Rindone, who had taken gymnastic lessons for six years and attended Junior Olympics both in Florida and Kansas, practiced every night for three hours and almost all day Saturday. While competing at the nation's second largest meet of the year, the Sweetheart Invitational, Feb. 14 at the 72nd Street Holiday Inn, Rindone injured both knees on the vault, but only after winning first place in her level of competition. "There isn't a feeling more rewarding than after you've done a routine close to perfect, especially after you've worked so hard at it," Rindone said. Whether it was rolling dice to decide what to do next in a thoughtful game of Dungeons and Dragons, selecting the best buy at a baseball card show, or icing down sore muscles after an intense dance routine, students found hobbies to be an important part of their lives. -Erica WaiTen- ..

(Photo by Shannon Flynn) 'E~traorainary p[ans makg, prom ... nchanted W hile Theresa Savick lay on her bed listening to her radio two weeks before Prom, she suddenly decided she would go ahead and beg for a date. Savick hadn't even planned on attending Prom until the week before when Sweet 98 announced a contest in which some lucky girl would win a date to Prom with one of their DJ's. All the entrants had to do was write in telling why they were desperate for a date. "I thought it sounded interesting," Savick said, " but I got so busy that I didn't have time to do it. I finally decided on the next Wednesday to call and see if I could hand deliver my entry. They said fine, so I got a piece of paper and wrote the date of Prom and then in big letters, 'PLEASE!' " Two days later it was time for the drawing for the big date, and Savick's name was announced as the winner. "I was really excited when I got a phone call at work saying I had won," said Savick. "I knew it was going to be unique and fun." Savick's evening with Rodzilla, Sweet 98's night DJ, was definitely unique. She received a corsage and a bracelet as a special gift from her date, and they traveled in a limousine to a steak house for dinner before going to the dance. " I was really nervous because it was my first dance, and I was basically going on a blind date," Savick said. "But he made me laugh the whole night, and I'm glad I entered the contest because it was really fun." The 1992 Prom became extraordinary for many students like Savick, who went to extremes to make the night unforgettable. One student began the evening expecting nothing extraordinary to come out of it, but much to his surprise, he received an honor that would never be forgotten. "I wasn't going to go to Prom because I didn ' t have enough money. " said John Rocha, " but on the Wednesday before, I found out I made court, so I had to go. "When it was time for coronation, I was getting ready to clap for the guy that was going to win, and they announced my name as the king. I was so surprised. I just thought to myself, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this!' " Although others didn't receive an honor like Rocha's, two couples experienced a royal evening after they spent an extraordinary $300 on a limousine, which they rented for nine and a half hours. "We were going to rent the limo only until after Prom," said Joy Nelson, "but after we were in it for a while, we were having so much fun that we decided to keep it until after Post Prom. The chauffeur came in to Prom and danced with us, and at Post Prom, he came in and played games. "It was my first time in a limo, and it was a lot more expensive than I thought it would be but I'd definitely do it again." Although for some, spending a lot of money seemed to be a must for a spectacular evening, Prom committee members found they could be economical and still create extraordinary decorations. "During Viesha at Iowa State, I went to see my brother, who is in the TKE fraternity," s aid Amy Thatcher.

So I had my mom pull the car up right by the float, and my brother told me to help myself to whatever I wanted off of it. " I took about 20 flowers and a big owl, and we used them all around the coronation stage. It saved us some money and made the stage look a lot brighter." After everyone had enjoyed the dance, it was time to move on to Brunswick bowling alley for the Post Prom festivities. One student discovered that his Post Prom experience wasn't as extraordinary as he first thought. After he earned thousands of dollars in paper money from gambling, he tried to spend a bit too much in the pawn shop before the night was over. "I had been playing craps all night, and I had all my money in stacks of 10," said Mike Angeroth. "When I counted it, I thought that in each stack of 10 there was 100 thousand dollars, so I. ~bought I had millions of dollars. But really there was only ten thousand dollars in each stack. "When I went shopping in the pawn shop, I bought almost everything in the store, and I went to pay for them and told the lady taking money that there wasn't enough for me to buy. Then when she took more than half of my money for the first few items, I realized what I had done, and I felt really stupid, and I'll never forget it." No matter what kind of extraordinary evening they had, most Prom goers would never forget the evening. -Michele White CUDDLIN' CLOSE.

If you want to have fun, wait until everyone's name has been called before you do it." Those were words that Principal Jim Lake constantly repeated to seniors during meetings throughout the year. If any of the embarrassing activities occurred, he threatened to stop the 1992 graduation ceremony and send everyone home. Since seniors knew beforehand that silliness would not be tolerated during the ceremony, they planned other graduation events that would be memorable. For Melody Barajas' graduation party, her family rented the Mile-AWay hall. While most graduation open houses consisted of cheese and meat trays, punch, and lots of adults, Barajas' celebration became more of a party than an open house. For food, Barajas served enchiladas, Spanish rice, taco salad, and refried beans. To entertain her guests, she hired a DJ to play for five hours. With more than 100 students there, the dancing and singing never stopped. " I had fun because her party wasn't like a normal open house where there are tons of adults and you have to behave," said Jill Hovinga. "A bunch of my friends and I went over to the DJ's table and he let us sing into the microphone." Entertainment was also the key to fun at Amy Negrete's party. Since her gathering took place in her aunt's backyard, her family built a wooden platform for the guests to dance on while a DJ played music. To top off the night, Negrete rented a triple stretch limousine for two hours. She and her friends drove all over Omaha and Council Bluffs. "We had a blast in the limo," said Negrete. "While we were driving around in Omaha, these guys pulled up next to us and squirted us with these big waterguns." One family wanted to spice up the traditional open house, so they used a theme throughout the pa rty. Because Todd Cover planned to major in golf management, his parents prepared a golf party for him. Before guests even arrived at the party, they were aware of the theme because his invitations read , "Todd's Teeing off into the Future. " But the theme didn't end with the invitations. In Haymarket Hall, where the party was held, 18 tables with green tablecloths stood for each hole on the golf course. A centerpiece of a golf ball, a numbered flag in the hole, and several wooden tees decorated each table. Once the parties were over, all that was left was the ceremony. When the night of graduation finally arrived, the seniors behaved well, just as Lake had asked them to. "I was thinking about bringing stuff to throw, but Mr. Lake gave us death threats about it the whole year," said Aaron Krauth. "This year, it se~med like people were scared to do anything. Even though he said we could do something after everyone's name had been called, nobody was sure what be would do." Although the wild and c razy antics were missed, some seniors appreciated the ceremony. "It was good that everyone's name was heard this year," said Misti Stewart. "When Mr. Lake told us we could set a new example, it seemed like it would be neater to celebrate at the end than to mess around during the entire ce remony. " E ven with a quiet cer emony, through creative parties, seniors still had enough fun to make their high school graduation memorable. -Krissa Rossbund PASS IT ON.

Life & death by Krissa Rossbund With feelings of shock and sadness, students stood in clumps outside of the school building on the morning of May 1. Attending classes was the last thing on their minds because they had learned that Josh Eyre '91, had been killed in a motorcycle accident on Frank Street. " I was at the hospital when I found o ut that Josh didn' t make it," said Chris Jones. " I couldn't believe he was gone. I just sat and stared at the wall for the longest time. " Along with grief over Eyre came concern for junior Heather Fox, who was also ridi ng the bike and was thrown 150 feet. Fox suffered a fractured knee and other minor injuries. "On the day after the accident, Heather had big cuts on her face where the skin was gone," said Gere Nelson. "Everyday since I've seen her, s he 's improved so much." When students had gotten over the shock of the accident, many c hecked o ut of school May 4 to attend the funeral. According to Meyer Funeral Home, more than 600 people filled the fu neral home during the service. "His death was such a big shock to all of us, but we just stood together," said Todd Cover. "It m ade us realize that life is short." In order to take away some of the pain, students tried to remember all of the good times with Eyre.

Jn a state of even greater surprise, many Americans got an inside look a t the U.S. Senate hearing on sexual harassment charges against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Before the senators decided Thomas was not g uil ty of sexua l harassment and voted to confirm him to the court, viewers heard discussions about pubic hairs on Coke cans and the size of ma le sex organs, which were topics Thomas was a lleged to have discussed with former e mployee, Anita H ill. " I don ' t think it was necessary to bring o ut the sexually graphi c details," sa id Ke lli Smith. " It sho uld have o nl y been brought to the S upreme Court's attention, but not to the public 's knowl edge.

For many, the thought of parties conjured up pictures of drunk and drooling kids falling all over the place before finally passing out in their own puke. "People do a lot of weird things when they're drunk. I don't want to do anything weirder than I would sober. I like to have a clear head." A Full House -Landon Knauss But contrary to popular belief, more students were leaving parties just as sober as they'd arrived. In a poll of 232 students, 168 said they had been to alcoholic and non-alcoholic parties, and of those 168, 100 said they preferred non-alcoholic parties. "At non-alcoholic parties you can have fun without worrying the next day about what you did," said Deann Klever. "They are also tons more fun." Like Klever, many favored non-alcoholic parties because of fun activities. "At one party I bad a scavenger hunt," said Carrie Spann. "I made a list of about 20 items, and we searched the neighborhood for them. We got pretty weird looks going up to strangers and asking to borrow their toothbrush!" Although the majority of nonalcoholic parties were planned for no reason, some were thrown for special occasions. "Dudley Miller and I wanted to do something to kick off homecoming week and to unify us senior studs," said Jen Wheeldon, "so we planned a hayrack ride. Everyone had a good time." Birthdays were another reason for throwing kool-aid kegs. Each year Jon Fenner' s mother planned a unique way to celebrate his birthday. "For my sixteenth birthday m mom hired a magician to entertain us," said Fenner. "He bad Kelly Knudson come up, and after stuffing a scarf down her shirt, he pulled it out and a bra came out with it. Everyone was rolling with laugh· ter." Since her seventeenth birthday was near Halloween , Nancy Kemmish decided to have a birth· day costume party. "Everyone was dancing and ' trying to bus stop," said Kemmish. "but we couldn't get the steps and everyone kept stepping all over · each other. We had a great time dancing and goofing off." From scavenger hunts to hayrack rides, most students found they could have a good time without alcohol. -Melody Barajas .

Whether they decided to drink or not, 187 students out of 282 polled said they had attended drinldng parties. "Everyone I know goes to drinking parties," said one junior girl. "It's hilarious to watch others when they're drunk." Walking into a bonfire and perfonning strip teases were a few examples of drunken entertainment. But sometimes a drinking party could turn into a nightmare. Woo s, an mt man ance at Nancy Kemmish's Halloween/birthday party Nov. 2.

Of 100 students polled, 29 said they worked after 9:30 p.m. three or more times a week. Eighteen students said they worked past 11 p.m. more than once a month. Late work nights took their toll on students who were often forced to deal with more stress, less sleep, and unfinished homework. "If someone was considering getting a job where they'd work late, I'd tell them don' t do it," said Renae Hartley, who worked late hours at Burger King. "You can forget about your social life and your homework. You go from being able to handle it all to being able to handle nothing." Forty-three percent of students polled said working late sometimes affected their homework. "Last year I'd come home from school, throw down my books, and go to work," said Chad Theilen, who worked at Hy-Vee three to four nights a week after 9:30 p.m .. "I'd get home late and instead of doing my homework, I' d j ust go to bed." Lack of sleep due to long hours sometimes caused students to stay home from school. In a poll of 100 students, 19 said they sometimes came late or skipped school after a late work night. If they weren' t able to catch some z's at home, students were known to nod off in class. "The next day at school I fall asleep," said Theilen. "People look at me and say, 'You worked last night.' You can just tell by looking at me how tired I am." Fortunately, Council Bluffs businesses realized the problems working late created.

Other students found different friendships while volunteeri ng at Jenni e Edmundson. "It's neat talking to the patients," said Carrie Harrill. "I rememberone day this old man called me into his room. I had no idea who he was, but as I sat in his room talking to him, I found out he only lived a few houses down from me."

"I park my car way out there because after all the money I spent on it, I need to protect it, " said Wells. With the help of her brother, Wells rebuilt the engi ne, did a paint job, and total ly refurbished the interior of her '71 Camero.

"Worki ng on my '72 Chevelle gives us time to spend together." Ruppe bought the '72 Chevelle for $ 150, and after three years of restoration, the car was worth $1600. Not all students were as satisfied with the results ofrefurbishing their cars, though. "I bought a '64 Falcon which I constantly worked on," said James Dorris. "I put $3500 into the car and it still didn ' t run. Finally, I bought a brand new 199 1 Chevy Sonoma truck. I work 30 hours a week, but it's worth it to have a nice car that run :' Although students spent long hours, hard work, and much of their own money for a nice set of whee ls, students fo und in the long run their car was worth the effort. -Amy Springer From fender benders to pile ups, consequences cause some to 'CRASH 'N' BURN Cars 'A. s I was driving to volleyball practice, I ran into an 83-year old man," said Rachel Page.

Although not all crashes were as harmful as Paige's, many found themselves dealing with the consequences of an accident. lligher insurance rates and 1 cost of repairs were the biggest downfalls of car wrecks. However, some students decided to save money and not report the accident to the insurance company.

Anticipating long lectures and harsh punishments, some worried about their parents' reaction, but most found their parents unexpectedly understanding. "When I was in an accident, my parents didn 't punish me," said Charles Richey. "In fact, they forced me to drive when I didn't want to. They said ifl didn't drive right away, I might never drive again." Most said their driving had been affected by their accident. "It was raining when I wrecked my car, so now I'm nervous when I drive in the rain." said Lori Fehr. "Reckless drivers make me nervous, too, because I know what can happen."

Although this warning had been drilled into teens' minds since the word sex first became part of their vocabulary, many students still neglected to practice safe sex.

"It's stupid to have sex without protection, and I always ask why I let myself do that." When students were careless about using birth control, pregnancy was their biggest concern afterwards. "One night my boyfriend and I had sex without using a condom," said one senior girl. "Afterwards, I was scared to death. Because I was so worried, my period was late. I called places to get abortion prices, but everything ended up all right." Although girls were sometimes thought to be alone in their fears of pregnancy, some males shared their concerns. "Even when I use protection, I worry about getting the girl pregnant," said one senior guy. "A few times we almost had to go to Planned Parenthood for a test. I know it only takes one ti me for so many bad things to happen that can change your life forever." Although many worried about pregnancy, most did not fear AIDS. "I don' t worry about AIDS because I haven ' t been with enough guys," said the junior girl. "I've trusted the people I've been with, which isn' t too safe ." Yet, when pro basketbal I player Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive, 75 percent of the students polled said they thought Johnson's announcement would cause teens to practice safe sex more often. "When I heard about Magic, it made me more aware that it's not just homosexuals who get AIDS,,. said another senior girl.

For Goldman, who visited for two weeks as part of a sister city exchange program with Toblosk, Russia, roller skating was one of the least surprising aspects of American life. " I had read about America's conveniences," said Goldman, "but the variety found in your grocery stores still shocked me." The size of AL also shocked Goldman. "Soviet schools can' t compare," she said. "We have 3,000 students in a school probably one-third the size of AL and classes of 35 to 40 students." Goldman was also surprised by friendlier teacher/ student relations. "You greet your teacher the way you greet each other," she said. "That is impossible in our country."

(Photo by Amy Negrete) or competitions, pleasure, students experience cultures from sea to SHINING SEA Travel T hough some people only dream of traveling out of the country, a few students experienced building houses in Mexico, competing in Jamaica and Italy, or touring France last summer. Kim Gift, Brad Rolfe, Amy Thatcher, and Sandy Walker went to Tijuana, Mexico with their youth group to build houses for the homeless. During their stay, they saw much poverty. "The first day we went to our worksite, I couldn' t believe it," said Walker. 'The houses were four pieces of wood, there was garbage everywhere because they had no sanitation system, and the dirt roads were washed out." Paulette Mitchell also saw poverty when she went to Kingston, Jamaica to compete in the Junior Pan Am Games. "We stayed in a college dorm close to the tra~k," said Mitchell. "The mattresses smelled like urine, the floors were filthy, and the bathroom was terrible!" Mitchell competed against people from all over the Americas and took fifth place out of 15 in the shot put. While Mitchell was competing in Jamaica, Heather Fent was in Corridonia, Italy playing volleyball against Italian teams. Fent, who read about the trip in a magazine article and applied, said the trip was worth it. "I loved Italy!" she said. "By the time we played our last game, we had a huge crowd cheering for us! I stayed with an Italian family . Before I left, they invited me back next summer." Seven students who visited France for three weeks also spent part of their time with French families.

When I wrote home, a couple words of every senfence would be Frenc h. I'd go to bed with a headache from thinking French." "After spending four days in the middle of poverty, I was glad to be back home," said Walker. "But now I can' t wait for next summer.

Silently, they reached into their hearts, searching for the right words to say when their turn came to offer a prayer. "Whenever one of my classes discussed abortion or sex, I wouldn't say anything.

(Photo by Jim Brown) Some youth group members studied the Bible in such depth that their knowledge became the basis of serious competition. In the First Christian Church Bible Bowl, students had to remember facts from 50 chapters of the Bible. Every month teams went to competition, where participants took a 200 question test, with the top 20 receiving honors. "It's hard work, but it pays off because at the same time, you're learning what God's will is for your life, " said Andrea Bertleson. Youth groups also helped many develop an appreciation fo r Christian music. The Woodland Community Bible Church went to a Dallas Holm concert to s upport missionaries from South America. "It was a very uplifting concert," said Penny Jones. "By the end, half the congregation was down in front crying, including me." But youth groups had their fun moments too. Mica Smith, a member of St. Paul's Lutheran youth group, participated in a softball league that involed other area churches. "I loved playing softball because it wasn' t very competitive," said Smith. "You can relax and talk to your friends, and not worry about winning or losing." Whether prayi ng or playing, students fo und their youth groups provided special support for living life the way they believed God wanted them to. -Emilee Applegate Living by the Word On a Saturday a fternoon, Pa t Conn and Lisa Domingus read Bible scriptures in Domingus' living room.

(Photo by Jim Brown) After accepting Christ.Lnto their lives, born again Christians find guidance, new friend through prayer Everyone had a friend to lean on and ask for advice when they needed it. For some students that friend was God. Like a good friend, many students felt they could ask God for guidance. "God helps me make decisions," said Becky Lee. "Whether I want to go to a dance or go out with a guy, I feel I can talk to Him about it." Students said the best way of talking to God was through prayer. Pat Conn, who asked Jesus to be his personal savior last year, said his church encouraged praying in a quiet place for 15 minutes. For Conn that quiet place was his bathroom. "My bathroom is the only place where I can be alone," said Conn. "My church told us to light a small candle and pray. I usually pray around 4 a.m. until the candle burns out, which is about an hour to an hour and a half. I call it my walk with God. When I'm done, I feel like I just had a long talk with a close friend." Whether for guidance or the companionship of a friend, students found the relationship they built with God to be one of the most important of their life. "I know my friendship with God is everlasting," said Conn. "He is a person who will always be there for me giving me unconditional love. Now everything I do, I do to glorify God." -Kelli Smith Bonding Some create spec i al fr iendsh ips w ith a parent I t was a Saturday afternoon on the Missouri River.

Kerplunk! Splash! For Tilley and her father, it was tradition that if she caught the first fish, he pushed her in the river. Twenty-eight of 100 students polled felt they had good relationships with their parents. Like Tilley, many planned activities to strengthen relationships. "Not too long ago my mom and I put in a new exhaust system," said Brad Negrete. "If there are things to be fixed on the car, we try and fix them together." In almost every case, relationships between students and parents were based on communication. "I feel comfortable talking about almost anyhing with my mom. She always liste ns to me and tries to understand my problems," said Becky Fichter. Students who took the time to build a close relationship with their parents felt their efforts were well worth it. -Heather Binns In Remembrance To share her accomplishments with her deceased father, Kelli Smith visits his grave.

AlthoughHeatherBinns didn't visit her mother's gravesite regularly, she struggled to keep her mom's memory alive. "I try to remember the good times we had instead of the bad," Binns said. "Since my mom died when I was only five, I don't have a lot of memories, but one thing I really remember is when we used to play Peek-a-boo. I'd jump into her arms and she would tell me how much she loved me." Other students devoted special days to remembering their parent. "Even though my mom died six years ago, my family still celebrates her birthday," Ryan Kelley said. "We buy a little cake and remember all the good times." Although a parent's death was the most difficult thing students had to endure, most finally found a measure of peace. 11 My dad, who was the chief deputy sheriff, was killed ten years ago in the line of duty. It took me a long time to get over it.

"I ran to Mr. Forsee and asked him if it was normal for your feet to be blue," Clifton said. "He said, 'Oh my God, we have to get you water!' It took five buckets of water for the swelling to go down." Clifton had gotten frostbite while kneeling on the banks of the Missouri River to fill test tubes with bacteria samples for an AP Biology lab. " I was the only one who had to get in the water," said Clifton. "All I had on was tennis shoes, and every time I bent down to get a sample, the water would come up on my feet. It was cold that day, and my feet felt numb, but I never thought I had frostbite." Despite blue feet, Clifton said the field trip was both educational and fun . Slammer 'lime When a school bus carrying about 30 government students stopped in front of a big sterile building in Carter Lake, students had no idea what to expect. The field trip's purpose was to inform students about what a penitentiary is like and how it is run, but many students were frightened when they walked in and stood face to face with drug dealers and murderers. "Usually, when you think of a prison, you think of people being locked up," said Andy Sorensen. "The inmates were walking around, talking, and some were playing basketball. It was really surprising." Some students felt being separated from the prisoners only by yellow lines on the ground was very scary. "You had to trust them not to do anything," Michele White said. "The scariest part was some of the inmates were coming really close to us and making disgusting comments. I was so scared that I grabbed on to Andy (Sorensen) and made him stay with me."

When they got their candy, they anxiously opened up the bag and began to sort it into groups. "We had 15 pieces of candy, and before we could eat it, we had to sort it all into groups," Diane Kalar said. "We found three characteristics the candy in each group had in common. For one group, we put Hershey's kisses and chocolate hearts together and said they were foil-wrapped, chocolate, and made in America." The students worked together to brainstorm for ideas. "Working alone, I would have gotten stumped because I only look at things one way," said Beth Linberg, "but with four people, we got different ideas so if one way of grouping didn't work out, another would." Manual Labor "After years of rumored sightings at 7-ll's and B.urger Kings across the country, Elvis Presley, the king of rock-n-roll, has stepped forward to announce that his death in 1977 was actually an elaborate hoax." This was not an excerpt from a supermarket checkout line tabloid. It was the introduction to the installation section of a VCR manual. The manual, which was designed to look like a tabloid, was produce? by students in instructor Trace Pickering's English classes as a final assessment of their ability to make technical writing readable. "We had to make a VCR manual in a new and original way," said Karen Barker. "My group did a tabloid, so we had sections like 'Elvis is alive and tells how to install VCR' and 'VCR and remote have affair. " ' Though it seemed easy to rewrite a VCR manual, students found it difficult to make it interesting. Using pop-up diagrams, a children's book format, Peanuts characters, and a talking VCR were only a few ways students made their 10-20 page manuals stand out. Students worked in groups and were graded on how well they worked together to produce a final product. -- Scrabbling to Learn With sweat dripping down their foreheads, Landon Knauss, J.J.

"Before vocabulary tests, we got into groups and formed crossword puzzles on a scrabble board," said Knauss. "Teams with the most words won. Five minutes before time was up, I noticed the first word put on the board was misspelled. We tried to rearrange words to hide it; we just hoped she would overlook it."

The project was an example of authentic assessment, which forced students to demonstrate their skills and understanding rather than guess at answers on a test. "I think new assessment has really helped me prepare for my future." said Tim Riedesel. "In real life, when you learn something at work, they're not going to test you over it; they expect you to produce something from it, and that's what new assessment makes us do." No Parabolum Although math class usually consisted of dry, difficult exams at the end of each chapter, students in instructor Ron Lakatos' Algebra 3-4 classes created characters named Oompa Loompa and Waldo to replace the typical test. To show they understood how to graph and write equations for parabolas, students created projects ranging from "Wizard of Oz" videos to "Where's Waldo?" stories. "We wrote about a girl named Oompa Loompa who traveled through a maze to find Waldo," Danita Voss said. "She came up to a door, and to get it open, she had to answer a riddle about parabolas. When she reached Wal do, she answered one final question before he was set free. " Students agreed the project was a refreshing change from the typical homework assignments and tests. "I was really glad we got to express our creativity," Jeremy Wichman said. "Even though our project took four and a half hours outside of class, it was really worth the extra time we took to complete it." war Zone Sitting behind a table in a makeshift newsroom, Michelle Mooberry, clad in a blue and grey striped suit and Sam Donaldson eyebrows, reported the effects the war in Yugoslavia had on Macedonia, one of its states. ·Meanwhile, Angie Parker and Kim Carlin waited in Mooberry's back yard, pretending to be on location reporters. When Mooberry finished, the camera man focused on Parker and Carlin, so the world could see the damage. "We had to study the effect the war in Yugoslavia had on different states," Mooberry said. "There was a lot of research involved, but the video was fun and we really know the information now." As part of new assessment, Larry Brown, world history instructor, had students do projects instead of taking tests. "Some people freeze up on tests," Parker said, "but with projects, instead of saying what the teacher wants us to say, we get to say what we want to say." -Kim Gift Und ercover Because instructor Ron Lakatos salutes a huge pair of underwear in class, Desiree Golden salutes Sarah Weber's underwear to begin a presentation on parabolas.

While this may seem like a typical party scene, there was one big difference. These were all AP Chemistry students holding a party to study for a test the next day. Despite occasional periods of goofing off, students used this time to go over their notes and discuss possible test questions. "It is a good way to prepare for tests because there are a lot of people to exchange ideas with," said Chad Hutchison. "If you have a question, at least one person is bound to know the answer and help you out." Others liked the chance to get together with friends. "If I studied alone, I would probably get the same grade that I get from studying in a group, but this way is more fun," said Mindy Romans. "It's helped me become closer friends with the people in my class." Helping Hands With books and papers spread out in front of them, Nora Greer and her tutor, Coco Fossland, went over a complicated algebra problem that Greer bad trouble with in class the day before. By going over examples, assignments, and tests with F8ssland, Greer improved her grade in algebra. "Even after meeting with Coco once or twice, my daily grade started to go up," said Greer. "We make very good use of our time and get along really well." Although a record 44 students wanted to tutor under the new Peer Tutor program, some students chose to go elsewhere for help and even paid to be tutored. Jen Steger paid $12 an hour to be tutored in trig by instructor Ron Lakatos. "I feel much more comfortable asking a teacher questions," said Steger. "I'm confident Mr. Lakatos knows what he's doing because he has experience." Whether receiving help from peer tutors or paying professionals for help, students found their money and time were well spent. P,pes of Wrath "Just by using 'Where There's a Will, There's an A' you can improve your study habits and never get another F again!" exclaimed the smiling man on the television. To many students, "Where There's a Will, There's an A," which consisted of video tapes and a book, seemed like the answer to all of their prayers. After using it, however, they were disappointed. "I borrowed the tapes and started watching them 20 minutes every day," said Aaron Grenier. "I already knew most of the suggestions the tapes gave. It was a waste of time and it didn't help me at all." Some were made to watch the tapes by their parents. "My parents forced me to watch the tapes, and the whole thing got really old after a few hours," said Ryan Wheeler. "I've used maybe one of the hints they gave about bow to take tests, but that's it." Despite promises made about the tapes, students found the miracle cure for F's had yet to be discovered. -Karen Barker 'J'Utortime Takin' it easy In a tutoring session after school with instructor Ron Lakatos, Jen Steger learns how to do a trig proof.

Many students thought of Power Mechanics as an easy class, but for Brian Ferguson it became a hobby. Ferguson had taken the class two years, and he enrolled in independent study of mechanics and welding his senior year. "I really enjoy building, repairing, and fixing up things," Ferguson said. "I do a lot of repairs on the farm because my dad's friend has a welder. Once I welded a lawnmower back together, and I also do a lot of work on engines. Knowing you can take an engine that doesn't work and make it work is a really good feeling." Besides building at home, Ferguson began to use his talents to do repairs for the school. "Mr. Allen told the janitors to bring down desks that were broke, and he would find someone to fix them," Ferguson said. "So at the beginning of the semester, I started welding them back together. It's neat to do something for the school and have fun too." Golden Child The last thing Tim Cordell expected was to have one of his photographs entered in the Iowa Wes tern Air Fair. It was even more of a surprise to him when he won a Gold Key, the highest award given at the contest. "It's only my first year in photography," Cordell said. "I had won awards for my art before, but I had no idea that one of my pictures would win." The award winning picture was a 3-D shot of Eric Bemer, created by photocopying a picture and laying the copies on top of each other. "The thing I like best about photography is that you get to do so many neat and different things," said Cordell. "You can get people's expressions and make them come out on paper, and the work is all yours, no one else helps you. Not only did Cordell win the Gold Key, but his photo also went on to competition in New York and Chicago. Nice Threads Armed with a pattern and yards of fabric, Carrie Widtfeldt sat at the sewing machine and prepared to make a blouse. Her only assignment was that it include either a zipper or buttons. . "I really like the freedom in sewing," Widtfeldt said. "Mrs. Ford just tells us certain things the project has to include and the rest is up to us. It's nice getting a choice of your own design and fabric. . Widtfelt also made a jumper and a sweatshirt, but the blouse took the longest to finish. "It was a harder pattern than the others," she said. "The directions were more difficult, so I had to read carefully." Widtfelt enjoyed wearing her creations. " I enjoy knowing I did it myself and that no one else has one like it," she said. -Kelli Smith Measuring up C utting edge With ruler in hand, Scott Hamling and Mandy Croson draw a three dimensional view of a wooden block during fifth hour drafting.

"I was seven points from an A in chemistry, and some people were seven points from a B or C, so we asked him if there was anything we could do for extra credit," said Ryder. "He had a stack of transparencies sitting there, and he told us we could clean them all for extra credit." Thinking it would be an easy task, the students took up Schmoker's offer and made an assembly line in the chemistry lab. One table of students washed, one table dried, and another stacked. "We had so much water running into the sink that it clogged up and we were left with this sink of bright blue water," said Ryder. "When we told Schmoker about it, he told us to get the plunger and clean it up. There was no way any of us was going to stand on the table and stick the stupid plunger down the sink. We ended up leaving it for him to do." Even though the students left the real cleaning job to Schmoker, they still managed to get their extra credit points to raise their grade. ---Burden of Proof With chalk covered hands, Nicole Hansen stood at instructor James Sutherland's chalkboard working out a proof to earn extra. credit points for her geometry class. Students were allowed to put the proofs from the assignment on the board for 10 extra points. "Most of the time we get proofs for assignments. If I know I did bad on the assignment, I put a proof on the board," said Hansen. "This way I get 10 points to help raise my grade." Even if students got the proof wrong, Sutherland did not deny them the extra points they had worked for. "If the proof is wrong, we still get the points," said Hansen. "We don't feel dumb because he doesn't make a big deal about it. It also gives him a chance to see what exactly it is that we are doing wrong so he can explain it to us." Homecookin' Spreading the sauce on her pizza crust, Rikayla Kachulis baked herself 100 extra credit points for foods class. For extra credit, students were encouraged to cook at home. Kachulis baked pizza and bread and made a non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. To prove they did the actual cooking, students were required to bring a note from a parent and a sample of the food. "When I was making the pizza at home, I had to make half of it without cheese because my sister's allergic," said Kachulis, "But there was so much topping on the one side that it slid clear over to her side. Then when you picked it up, it all fell apart." Even though Kachulis didn't really need the extra credit, she still collected 300 points. "I did it to insure my grade," she said. "I figured I might bomb a test or burn a project sometime and this would save my grade.' ~ -Jacki Hayes All in the cards poster points After making flashcards for a point per card, Chad Thielen, Andy Drustrup, and Renee Otto review theirs for a calculus test.

"In economics class we were each given a pretend $1000 to spend, so I bought into Phillip Morris," said Muehlig. "The class continued to check the market for five weeks and after the time was up, we sold. I made over a $200 profit!" Although he had to sell after a short time, he learned long term investments were better. "If you buy into a stock, you shoµld plan for a long-term investment," he said. "Long-terms tend to grow and are of less risk." Even though the risks he took weren't real, Muelhig learned a valuable money making technique that would last him the rest of his life. ---Cracked Up Danielle Norgard walked slowly into her Child Care class, feeling an emptiness in her heart after the death of her six-hour old baby in a freak accident. "I came home from school and sat my egg-baby down on the table," said Norgard. "My cat then jumped on the table, sending my baby crashing to the floor. My cat ended up eating my egg off the floor." Students in instructor Patti Ford's Child Care class played the part of parents to the egg-babies to learn t~e responsibility of parenthood. The students named their little eggs, made miniature clothes and baskets for them, and carried their fragile offspring everywhere they went as part of their grade. If their babies got damaged, students had to find a way to make up their grade. Quill and scroll Pretending, Matt Jensen writes in a journal about bis day's worluls a wealthy Roman man. In Honors World History class, the students did oral presentations on Roman civilization instead of taking a semester final. "That day I went to the public bath, the coliseum, and a chariot race," said Jensen. (Photo by Amy Negrete) "I had to make funeral arrangements," said Norgard. "I got the prices for the funeral and gravesite services and the coffin. Cutler Funeral Home had a package deal which included the. coffin, embalmin~, and services for $125, and the bunal plot cost $150. Bridal Wave "We are gathered here today to join this man a?d this woman in holy matrimony," said the Rev. Jim Lake, when he officiated at the marriage ceremony of Lori Rollins and Chris Presnall, Jan. 21. . In Family Living class, the students' final project was to make their own personal finance chart of how much a wedding would actually cost. Then individu~ls combined their information in groups and took part m creating a wedding simulation. While one group ordered the bride's flowers, another got the best man's and groom's clothes, and another designed and sent out invitations. Several g:oups got together to make preparations for the re~ept10n. "I thought it was fun and got us more mvolved than a written final," said Rollins. Like most weddings, this one did not proceed flawlessly. "Mr. Lake told us to join our right hands, and we joirted our left hands together," said Rollins. "Also when Mr. Lake told Chris to kiss the bride, everyone, includirtg us, started to laugh. The reception followed with the cutting of the cake, but Rollins and Presnall made a deal not to shove cake into each other's faces. Although this wedding was just pretend, most agreed the simulation would help in the planning of their own weddirtg someday. -Heather Binns Going to the chapel In second hour Family Living, Lori Rollins and Chris Presnall feed each other the traditional cake.

Eicher expressed her opinion through a six and a half page, eight-minute speech which took weeks of research. "We had around two or three weeks to work on the speech, and I worked on it every chance I had," said Eicher. "I used magazines, books, and even interviewed Mrs. Grandick because her brother is a doctor and has seen many cases like this." Through her hours of research, Eicher's view of the issue was affected. "Although my opinion is doctors should have a choice in treating AIDS patients, doing all of this research has helped me to better understand the patients' side of the issue," said Eicher. Model Student When instructor Steve Barker gave his second hour astronomy students a choice between two different types of research projects, Robin Shepard knew exactly what she was going to do. "We could either do a report or construct a model," Shepard said. "I hate reports because they're re~ly boring, so I made a paper mache scale model of Jupiter with its four moons orbiting it." Shepard's two weeks of research not only resulted in an A for the project, but also provided an enjoyable and educational experience. "I'm really interested in astronomy and the planets," Shepard said. "I have my own telescope at home, so about once a month I go out in my yard and look at the stars. I've always thought Jupiter was interesting, and when I made the model, I learned things I didn't know about the moons, like one is made entirely of frozen water and air." Because of her dedication to astronomy, Shepard would always be reaching for the stars. ---£ook It Up As soon as the yellow school bus slowed to a stop in ·front of the UNO library, long lines of Honors English 5-6 students poured from its doors, about to begin an entire day gathering information for a research paper on an American author. "When we first got there, I thought there was no way I could spend a whole day sitting in a library, but the time went by really fast," said Jennifer Bogardus. "I got a lot of good sources and also had fun because I was with my friends. We even got to go to the Crossroads for lunch." Students were able to obtain more information at the UNO library than at other libraries because of the vast number of available resources and a computerized card catalog that made books easier to find. "I used a computer to find all of my sources," said Bill Shipley. "It was really easy. I just typed in the name of my author and the computer printed out a list of 20 book titles I could use." -Karen Barker The right solution With great care, Coco Fossland dilutes solutions in her third hour AP Chemistry class.

"I hated Portrait," Lori Fehr said. " It was really confusing because the author was always changing his thoughts. I even bought the Cliff Notes and I still didn't understand it." But for Chad Hutchison and Coco Fossland, the reading assignments didn't seem like homework. "We had the whole summer," Fossland said. "We could wait until the end and still get it done." Hutchison and Fossland agreed AP English wasn't as hard as most thought. "There is a lot of responsibility," Hutchison said, "but you really don't have daily assignments. There is more freedom in AP English. People think it's all work, really it's just more intense. You're always listening. You can't just sit there like a sponge. You do have to do things. It's more quality than quantity." silent Treatment --- Sprawled out on her bed with a blanket, her dog Ebby, and a 1165-page AP Biology book, Kelly Knudson prepared herself for an hour of reading.

Like Knudson, Denise O'Brien had to study in quiet conditions. "It takes a lot of time to read the chapter," O'Brien said, "and if it's not quiet, I can't concentrate. I can't get the key elements of the chapter." Because AP Biology students had to cover the entire book, instructor Bill Forsee assigned them to read five chapters over the summer. "I liked doing the chapters in the summer," Knudson said, "because it gave me more time to read and understand the material." Getting Testy Nestled in their chairs, 25 AP Calculus students sat quietly as they worked on a practice test. At around 8:30 p.m. they went home, only to return the next day to take the actual test. "The study sessions really help," Jessica Goodman said. "We help each other, and if we don't understand, Mr. Miller will help us out." Most students agreed the help they got from their peers was essential. "Mr. Miller is there when you need to ask him a question," Chad Kenoyer said, "but sometimes other students can explain something in a way that you can understand better." According to Goodman, AP Calculus was not only challenging but fun. "You have to think all the time," she said. " It's never boring. You have to listen so that you know what's going on." -K elJi Smith Common cents Nitric acid and a penny help Chad Hutchison and Brain Hauser observe a chemical reaction. (Photo by Amy Andersen.)

When it popped in his glove, roars of joy from fans · and teammates echoed throughout Rosenblatt Stadium. The Lynx had just beaten Lewis Central 5-3 to win the 1991 City Tournament. "We held together as a team better that game than we did all season," said Ferguson. "There were some errors, but nobody got down on each other. We just kept playing our best until it was over." Although the Lynx received much glory for their outstanding performance at Rosenblatt, their 9-25 record from earlier season matchups left them mostly out of the spotlight. Victories were more frequent, however, in the latter part of the season when players were set in permanent positions. Even after a tough losing record, the win at Rosenblatt gave players a more positive outlook towards Districts. After previously losing twice to Harlan, the Lynx came back in district play to beat the Cyclones 4-2. "We went into Districts with enthusiasm and emotion," said head coach Rick·Wahl. "We were psyched to win through the whole game." The thrill of victory vanished, however, as the Lynx fell to LC in district finals 10-0. Even when the game location was changed to the Titan field because of vandalism at City Park, Lynx players still kept their hopes up and brushed away any grudges throughout the whole game. "When we played LC in City Tournament, it was a matter of who wanted it more, not who was better," said Jason Johnson. "But when it came to district finals, they were just a more consistently winning team. For us to beat them, we had to play our very best, but we didn t." Lacking togetherness, softball players were also unsuccessful until the end of the season. "Even though we won some early season games, we never really played as a team," said Trisha Alba. "We were actually surprised to win at all, even though we knew we were capable." After falling into a mid-season slump, the girls worked on building a closer team relationship, so whether win or lose, the togetherness wou ld still be there. "At first we were always separated, never together," said Mindy Stone. "But then we made ourselves a team on and off the field by doing things together like drive-in movies and tee-peeing our coach's car." When Sectionals rolled around, the girls had developed their capabilities and were ready to win. They upset teams like Tee Jay and LC, who had beaten them three times before. In Regionals, players gave it their all to beat Atlantic 4-3, but they lost the regional emifinal championship 6-2 to Creston. "We weren't suprised to go far because we had worked o hard," said Stone.

The Missouri Valley Invitational was the last Iowa meet before Districts, where the boys hoped to place second with the help of team leaders Jon Fitch and Pat Hughes. So far, the seagon was a success, with the team taking five fust places in eight invitationals. "The Harlan Invitational was the toughest win out of the five," said Coach Mick Freeman. "We bad already beaten St. Albert a couple of times, so we knew they were out to get us. We ran a lot better because of that." But the practice on Bennett would signal an end to the team's wins. "As we were running Bennett, I slipped on a rock," said Hughes. "I didn't think it was that bad and ran on it back to school. But when I woke up the next morning, it bad swelled up so bad I couldn't even walk on it, so I went to the hospital instead of the meet. Districts were only a week away, so I attended physical therapy for a week. They performed ultrasounds and wrapped my ankle, and I even took painkillers. "I wanted to run Districts, but my ankle didn't want to. I ended up dropping out a mile into the race. Five of my teammates had passed me, and I knew my points weren't going to count anyway." Placing fourth at Districts, the boys qualified for State by the skin of their teeth and then had a disappointing performance. "We knew we couldn' t do as well with Pat hurt," said Casey Malskeit. "To give us an idea of how we should have placed at State, we looked at other teams. We had already beaten St. Albert three out of four times in the regular season, and they placed second at State in their class. We had hoped to place in the top 10 at State, but we ended up placing 15th." While the boys began the season with high expectations, the girls realized early that with a young team, they would have a rebuilding year, so they learned to set short term goals. "Since our team this year was not very experienced," said Jennifer Stull, "we worked on learning how to compete better. Instead of looking at the whole season, we worked on our goals meet to meet. We usually set out to beat a certain person in front of us, someone, for example, from another school that we ran by in every meet." With a weaker team, the girls were unable to qualify for State, but they weren't disappointed. "We were not only pleased with the end of the season," said Coach Mike Batten, "but with the way we placed at Districts. For such a young team, sixth place out of 16 teams is very good." -Lori Fehr TAKING IT ALL IN STRIDE.

While Tee Jay had tallied up 16 points throughout the game, the Lynx remained scoreless. "This is gutcheck time," said quarterback Chad Taylor to his players. "We've got 11 minutes left. We have to score now." With Taylor's words came action. The Lynx went on to score not just one tq.uchdown, but three, pulling them ahead 22-16 to win the game. "All of the sudden, something hit us and we started going," said Jon Fenner. "We knew from the start that we were better than them but through the first three quarters, they played with so much intensity and heart, and they wanted the game more than we did. In the end, though, we showed who really wanted it more." The team's strong determination in the fourth quarter of the Tee Jay game was just one example of the positive attitude that carried the Lynx through a season full of success, even though their 3-6 record didn't show it. That new found attitude was a result of the encouragement and assistance they received from their new head coach, Rick Wahl. "Whenever we had questions in practices or games, Coach would take us through and explain the answers rather than just yelling at us," said Scott Jensen. "He always kept his composure and made sure we knew what we were doing wrong. That made us more self-confident. He seemed like he believed in us, so it was a lot easier for us to believe in ourselves." Once team members started believing in themselves, they went into games with a more positive attitude. "It used to be that we'd go into every game thinking we'd just stay with the other team and not let them beat us too badly," said Taylor. "This year it was different. We went into every game to win, and we played as hard as we could, no matter who we were playing." That attitude helped the Lynx defeat Lewis Central 28-14 in their opening game. "After LC beat us 35-0 last year, we had to come out on the field and prove that we could play this year," said Taylor. "We came prepared and had a good game offensively and defensively. It was a great way to start out the season because it got us super pumped up." Unfortunately, after facing two nationally ranked teruns towards the end of the season and suffering major losses to both, the Lynx began to hang their heads a bit. As a result, in the last game of the season, the team fell to Bellevue West 21-0. "We realJy wanted to go out on a positive note," said Nate Barges. "But after getting blown out by Westside the week before at Homecoming, we were still down and couldn't get focused against Bellevue West." But the disappointing losses were soon overlooked as the players reali zed that by keeping their positive attitudes throughout the season, they had set a high standard for many teams to come. "It really helped us when Coach Wahl was positive about everything," said Barges. "After this season, we know that we have talent. The seniors proved that we' re not a bad team and set a great example for us next year." -Michele White VARSITY FOOTBALL.

St\ART TALK As the volleyball team met before the Tee Jay tournament, Coach Mary Kyte pulled out a picture of a pyramid built by the 1989 team after the girls received first place at the Tee Jay tourney. "Everyone in the picture was smiling," said Mindy Workman, "even though they had played all morning and afternoon. I knew that's what I wanted to look like at the end of the day." As the 1991 tournament came to a close, AL had yet another pyramid picture of smiling volleyball players. "It's always great to beat your cross town rival," said Stephanie Yearian. "That makes the season a winning season whether the rest of the season is good or bad." To beat Tee Jay and 26 other teams and earn a 19-10-5 record, the girls had to communicate as a team. "Ifwe don't communicate, we might as well forget it," said Heather Fent. "Communication makes it all come together. When we played Omaha North, we really talked it up. We knew where the sets were going and knew the right places to hit the ball. That's why we won 15- 2 and 15-0." When the girls failed to communicate, they knew the difference. "One game in which lack of communication really showed was the Millard South game," said Yearian. "We didn 't communicate, and we just fell apart. No one called out their sets. Everyone was running into each other. We lost the first game 5-15. After the Millard South game, the girls decided they would never take communication for granted again. "In practice we did partner drills which made us work as a team," said Yearain. "Ifwe dropped the ball ordidn'tcall it out while we were passing or setting, we ran laps." Communication between team members became just as important off the court as on. "When things were going bad, we'd get together as a team and talk about what we needed to do," said Tori Christie. "Then we'd go back on the court and put it all together." The girls' efforts paid off as they won the next three matches, including a game with Millard South. As Districts came up, the girls were communicating better than ever, but they had become a little over confident. "Some of us went into the game with attitudes that we had beaten Tee Jay before and knew we could do it again," said Yearian, "but Tori and Cathy (Mauer) kept telljng everyone to try and think of this game as if we had never played them before." Even with that advice, the Lady Lynx season was cut short, as the Yellowjackets beat AL three to two, leaving the Lynx with sixth place in Districts. "I was really disappointed that we lost," said Workman, "but Tee Jay played well. It was their night. Knowing we lost makes me anxious to get out there and beat them next year." -Erica Warren FLYING HIGH.

ALL TICD UP A s 34 wrestlers plopped down on the mats in the wrestling room for their first day of practice, the eight upperclassmen scoped out their team and noticed many unfamiliar faces, most of which belonged to sophomores. After that first encounter, no one dreamed the Lynx wouJd end the season as the best team in the city in duals with an impressive 9-1-1 record. Although the Lynx began the season with eight upperclassmen, after injury got the best of three team members, the Lynx had to rely heavily on the underclassmen for success. When times were tough, they could always be called upon to step up and take control. Sophomore Bill Waugh and freshman Mike Porter stepped up when two upperclassmen quit early in the season, and both Waugh and Porter placed third in Districts to end their season. Although Waugh and Porter fell short of a trip to the state tournament with only third place District finishes, another sophomore, Kevin Adbns, placed first in Districts to earn a state berth as a first year varsity wrestler. "I worked really hard all season because I wanted to be a state champion so badly," said Adbns. "DJ Walton helped me both physically and mentally the whole way. He ran with me at early practice, and he even can1e down to the boiler room with me to keep me company when I had to lose weight. I never gave up, but things just didn' t work out for me in the end." Adbns lost in his fourth match at State and didn't place, but Walton, his supportive teammate, took fourth place. Even though the underclassmen were the main reasons for the team's success, as Walton's state finish showed, a few upperclassmen also had impressive performances. With both third and first place state titles already under his belt, senior Danen Coppock won Districts to earn his third trip to the state tournament. Going into the championship round at the tournament, Coppock was relaxed and confident of clinching his thiTd first place title, as his opponent was a familiar one. For the second year he faced a f1iend and a rival, Lewis Central' s Jeff Bellows, in a state championship round at 112 pounds. "Jeff and I are friends," said Coppock, "so even though we have to be rivals, we still cheer each other on." Coppock closed out his high school career with a 5-1 win over Bellows, 75 wins under hi belt, and another state title to his name. Coppock was the only one of the three state qualifiers to take first place at the tournament, but the others felt their season was a succe s. Although hopes were down at the beginning, early season victorie gave the team the confidence and motivation to make their season o successful. "This season was a rebuilding stage for u ,"said Walton. "We got a taste of winning in early matches, and that wa our motivation throughout the year along with Coach (Clark) Allen always pu hing u to be the best. " -Michele White "In the course of the season, people stepped up and stopped playing in the shadow of a star.

HOOP IT UP A veraging three inches shorter than their opponents and being forced to play without their star player, the Lady Lynx could have gotten down on themselves. But overcoming proved to be the team's greatest talent. Playing varsity since her freshman year, Cathy Mauer had become an All State point guard and held the record for steals in a season. But one of the things she was known for would change the season. While attempting a steal at the Sioux City game, Mauer fell, tearing her anterior cruciate Jjgament and all the cartilage around her left knee. Requiring reconstructive knee surgery, Mauer was out for the season. But it wasn' t long before teammates realized they could play without Mauer by opening the Holiday Tournament with a 50-point win over Westside, and their confidence was boosted even more when they met seventh rated Papillion. "We were waiting fo r the game to start when Cathy came over to us almost in tears," said Heather Haines. "She had walked in on crutche past the Tee Jay fans, who started to clap and hi-five each other, saying things like 'Yeah, Cathy'sout!' We were mad, butitpumpedu up. We wanted to play Tee Jay so we could beat them. People thought we wouldn ' t play well, but we went out and kicked some butt." Defeating seventh rated Papio by njne sent the girls on their way to djscovering how well they could play without Mauer. "The game against Papillion was a turning poi nt for the team,' said Coach Dave Brown. "If we had lost, the girls might have questioned themselves. But they proved they could play a rated team without Cathy. A lot of teams might have choked after losing their all-state point guard, but we didn 't." In fact, losing Mauer brought the team together even more. "We lacked leadership the most," said Tori Christie. "To make up fo r that, everyone contributed on the floo r. We were willing to pas if someone was open, rather than not paying attention. When Nancy Kemmish broke the school record for assists, everyone was happy for her, and no one was jealous. That says a lot for a team." Besides having to adjust to losing a key player, the girl had to make up for their lack of height. "We were a really short team," said Heather Fent, "so we u ed quickness to help us. We ran a lot in practice so we were fast. We worked on our transition, going from defensive to offensive, so we were quicker changing back and forth. We wore other teams down. " Their quickness showed game after game as they proved to be a match for any team that came their way, lo ing six out of their even defeats by no more than five points. As the end of the season came, the girl looked toward District , where they wanted to beat St. Albert. who had beaten them by two points at the beginning of the season. "Going into the game, we were nervou ," said Stephanie Knau . "They barely beat us before owe knew it would be a good game. It wa close, and we weren' t counting on the luck hot they got in the end.' The eason ended fo r the girls in a di appointing one point lo , . "The eason went well.," aid Brown. "We finished 15-8 and a District runner-up. Playing a well as we did against rated team required a great team effort." -Lori Fehr 67 Vt.1th wins at se-ason 5 e-nd ljnx 3e-t a . f AST r>RLAK W ith only four minutes left in the district final game against Harlan, the Lynx realized it was time to show their stuff. "You guys, we've got to get it going now!" the coaches said to the players in a time out. "We're a better team than they are, and we've got to show it now!" The buzzer sounded to end the time out, and the players headed back to the court, determined to make their dream of a state berth come true. "We knew it was time to step it up," said Chad Kenoyer. "We had to score every time we had the ball and stop them from scoring every time they had the ball." The Lynx did just that, and they beat Harlan 52-48 to become district champions for the first time since 1988. "We all cried after the game because we wanted it so bad, and we came out strong enough to reach out and get it," said Kenoyer. For the boys, winning Districts and making it to State had always been a goal, and early in the season when they hit the .500 mark, that goal seemed to be within reach. "Our schedule was easier in the beginning," said Jason Johnson. "Our record made us more confident to face the rest of the season, especially since we beat Bryan twice and they were a Metro team." But after a 74-68 win over eighth ranked Northwest, things went downhill for the Lynx, and State seemed almost too far out of reach. With only a 5-14 record going into Districts in March, the Lynx were not expected to become district champions. They had suffered regular season losses to both of their district opponents, Lewis Central and Harlan, along with seven other losses in February. Among those losses was the worst of the season, a 59-97 loss to city rival St. Albert. "We thought we could just show up and win," said Curt Kenoyer. "But we got there and none of us played to win. They came out and wanted it, and we wanted it too, but we didn' t go after it." Although they couldn't play St. Albert again, the boys did get a chance in Districts to make up for losses to LC and Harlan. After defeating both in Districts, the Lynx earned their long-awaited trip to the substate final game, in which they traveled to Creston to face the number three ranked team in Iowa, Indianola. "We were confident that we could play any Iowa team and do well, no matter what its rank," said Johnson. "When we went into the game, all we wanted was a shot to win and play well." The Lynx stuck with the Indians until the fourth quarter, when many freethrows and turnovers gave them a chance to open up a lead that the Lynx couldn' t close. The boys lost to the Indians 62-49, and their chances for a State berth vanished, but they were proud of their efforts. "We started playing really tough," said Pat Hughes.

"We won because of our depth," said Jon Fenner. "Although LC had a lot of good swimmers, we had twice as many swimmers, so we got more points." Being able to fi ll every position in each race with more swimmers than the opponent also helped the boys' swim team beat Bellevue West by a slim two points, scoring a total of 93 points. "We had more people than they did, so the second, third, fourth, and fifth places we took really added up," said Fenner. Although depth contributed to the boys' season record of 5-4, individual improvement was also essential. Getting advice from others helped some swimmers drop seconds off of their times. "Jeff (Mcintosh) helped me with my starts," Rusty Clevenger said. "He told me what I was doing wrong and how to make it right, better and faster." After taking Mcintosh' s advice, Clevenger dropped four seconds off of his 50 and 100 meter sprints. Unlike the boys, the girls' swim team lacked the depth needed for a successful season. Because fewer girls went out for swimming than last year, the season record dropped from 5-1 to 2-3. Since team improvement was close to impossible with only nine swimmers, each of the girls concentrated on improving individually. "After practice, Janet Danburg helped me with my flip turns," Allison Borman said. "I used to come off the wall and tum onto my stomach, but Janet taught me to do a somer ault, push off the wall on my back, and then flip back over to my stomach." With Danburg's ti ps in mind, Borman beat her best time by three seconds in the 200-yard freestyle at the metro tournament. After improving individually, the girls' team sent its 400-yard freestyle relay team to State for the first time in fo ur years, but the girls returned with a disappointing 23rd place fi nish. Even though the girls didn' t do well at the meet, Amy Springer took tips from the champions. "When I went to State, I watched the girl who won the breaststroke competition," said Springer. "I made sure I watched herthe whole way through, so when I practiced, I could do exactly what she did. After I practi ced what I saw her do, I dropped five second off my 100-yard breaststroke." Springer then dropped two more seconds off of her time with Coach Judy Heitoff's help in order to place third at the Omaha Public Schools Meet with a time of 1 :23 for her first individual medal. Although the girls didn't win any team awards for their swimming, wi nning the Iowa Athletic Academic Award made them ver proud. The team had a cununulative GPA of3.5, ranking first among all the swim teams in Iowa and third among all the sports teams in Iowa. Even though the girls' season record dropped, many team member joined summer teams to improve for next year. -Amy Haggstrom s~~71 FL YIN' ffiGH.

(Photo by Kellie Bottrell) brok~n r~cords hav~ t~ams s~ttin3 . . . new TRACKS W ith a twist of her body, a thrust of the shot, and a throw of 55 feet, Paulette Mitchell quieted 1600 people at the Drake relays. "It was unbelievable," said Coach Mike Batten. "I was ecstatic when I saw the throw. I jumped up and didn't see her step on the toe board and scratch. If her throw would have been good, she would have broken the national record by a foot and a half." Later on in the meet, Mitchell set records in both the shot and discus, and was named athlete of the meet. Three days later at the Glenwood Co-ed, Mitchell threw 53 feet 3 and 1/2 inches, qualifying her for the Olympic trials. By the season's end, Mitchell had set a record at every meet except State. Mitchell's ability to break records seemed infectious as more and more members of both teams found they could run faster, jump higher, and clear hurdles better than any Lynx before them. "We broke three records," said Scott Hamling, "the 4x2 at Lemars, the 4xl at Lewis.Central, and the medley at State. Nobody picked us to beat tbe 4xl and 4x2 records because they were set in the 1960's." The girls broke school records in the shuttle hurdle relay and 400M hurdles. Mitchell set new shot and discus records which hadn' t changed since 1984, and Kristin Scott set a record in the LOOM dash. Besides breaking school records, teams qualified 11 members for State. The boys sent all of their relays plus two individual events. "At State I ran my fastest 800 in l :56," said Pat Hughes, "and I finished a strong third. I wanted to get first, but things didn't work out." Like Hughes, Heather Haines gained a trip to State through a winning performance at Districts. "The girl from Sioux City West was running neck and neck with me," said Haines, "but she hit the last hurdle. I didn't know that I won until I crossed the finish line because it was so close." Runners who weren' t used to winning also learned how to do it through hard work. "Last year I never really won anything," said Kelly McGee. "That made me strive for something. I didn't think I would be able to do it, but at the Wayne State meet, I got first in the long jump." Despite the ability to break records and get to State, weakness prevented both teams from taking first place at invitationals. In past years the girls' team was built around distances, but th.is year there was lack of depth in the distances, and the boys found their void to be in field events. "At Atlantic we had a chance to win" said Coach Joe Hauser, "but after the field events, we were 26 points behind. We caught up during the meet and were two points ahead going into the las't event, but we didn't win the 4x4, so we lost the meet by four points." But tlu·ough breaking records and qualifying for State, both track teams found they could be successful without capturing a first place. -Lori Fehr CRUISIN' TO STATE.

KICKlfl' GRASS R ed-faced and breathless from the 96 minutes of play they had already endured, the Lady Lynx lined up for what they thought would be the last kick-off of the game. Tee Jay's Angie Cook had just scored a goal to put the Jackets ahead of the Lynx 4-3, and with only four minutes of the double overtime remaining, it looked as though the Jackets would take the victory for the second year in a row. But when the sound of the referee's whistle signified the kick off, the Lynx shrugged off their aching muscles and cramping stomachs and came out charging for a victory they knew they deserved. "Because this was my last year, I wanted to beat Tee Jay so bad," said Stephanie Knauss. "When we circled up before the overtime began, I remember telling everyone that this was it. I knew we could win if we wanted it bad enough and all we had to do was play our hardest no matter what happened." At a time when most teams would have given up and settled for the loss, the girls took Knauss' swords to heart and raised their level of play. Two minutes before the final whistle, Amy Meyers pounded a shot into the corner of the goal to tie things up 4-4. After JOO minutes of regulation field play, the Lady Lynx reigned victorious over the Jackets in a shoot out that decided the tie. Knauss' s advice was just one example of the senior leadership that dominated the team and encouraged the girls throughout the season. "From pre-game warm-ups to the actual game, you could always hear a senior pumping us up and encouraging us to do well," said Carrie Spann. "It wasn 'tjust the ones on the field, either. We had a couple seniors that didn't get to start and one that was hurt, and you could always hear them hooting and hollering above everyone else. I think they really made everyone feel like part of the team." Sometimes the seven seniors even got together with the three coaches to discuss the team's strengths and weaknesses. "Warren wanted to hear what we had to say about the team," said Trisha Alba. "One time he invited us to his house for pizza, and his wife baked us chocolate chip cookies. I thought getting together was a good idea because it gave us a chance to talk about any problems the team was having. Plus it gave the seniors a chance to be together and talk soccer." The seniors knew how to keep morale up even when the team was losing. After two days of games at the Cedar Rapids tournament, the Lynx lost their shot of taking home the championship when they fell short to St. Albert, a team they had never lost to in the history of Lady Lynx soccer. But even after the upset, the Lynx came back to take third and then cheered the Falcons on to their first place victory. "After we finished our last game that put us into third place, we all ran over to the field where St. Albert was playing Iowa City and cheered them on," said Joanna Schomer. "Even though we were really up et about losing to them, we figured we would rather ee a Council Bluff team take the title. When they won the tournament, we all ran out onto the field and congratulated them. I think that shows a lot for the attitude of our team." Whether leading the team in a victory or a 1 , sen.ior proved instrumental in achieving the team's 9-7-1 record and the team' igbth consecutive city championship. -Melody Barajas Tt7amwork frit7ndship mak..t7 boys . . GOAL FOR · IT A fter 50 grueling hours of conditioning and practicing for the first game of the season, the boys' varsity soccer team was ready for anything. "We wanted to beat St. Albert so bad because we didn't want to lose two years in a row," Curt Kenoyer said. "We got so pumped up for the game that we controlled and played the whole game on our offensive side of the field." Only 18 minutes into the first half, Tom Royce netted the ball twice to pull ahead 2-0 and the Lynx held the Falcons at a standstill until halftime. As the second half started, the Lynx knew it would be tough to keep up the defense going against the wind. But even after the Falcons scored 15 minutes into the half, the Lynx didn ' t give up. Instead, Royce came back to score once again to take the 3-1 victory. Although Royce was instrumental in reversing the 1991 loss to St. Albert, teamwork became the main ingredient that turned the entire season around. "Everyone passed and gave the ball up more," Mike Nelson said. "Unlike last year, there wasn't just one big star. Everyone was important to every play of each game." The new teamwork came about because players got closer off the field. Teammates often went to the Valentino's all-you-can-eat buffet to relieve tension and help mentally prepare for the next day's game. "We usually talked about comedians like Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, or Steve Wright when we went out," Royce said, "so that the next day during the bus ride to away games, we could do imitations and make jokes about them to get our minds off the game." Because they became closer friends, players began helping one another correct mistakes rather than yelling at each other. "During the Davenport game at the Bettendorf tournament," Kenoyer said, "I had the perfect one on one breakaway and I shanked the ball. At the end of the game, the guys just told me to forget about it and get ready for the next game. In the next game, I ended up scoring three goals against North Scott." Although teamwork played a big role in the team's improvement throughout the season, in di vi dual talent accounted for plenty of accomplishment. Royce broke a school record by sco1ing 13 goals during the season, more than anyone had scored in nine years. "l felt accomplishment when I found out I set a record," Royce said. " It was so surprising that someone had not scored that many goals in nine years. Another indi vidual who accomplished more than he imagined was goalie J.J. Marsh, who led the team to five shut-outs and two shoot-outs. "I thought I did pretty well my fres hman year," Marsh said. "The only improvement I want to make is to be consistent. I want to play well every game." Through a combination of communication within the team, individual talent, and the desire to revenge last year's losses, the boys' soccer team achieved a winning record of 10-8. -Amy Haggstrom 76~S~ WRAPPING IT UP.

As he struggled to keep a firm grasp on his club, he carefully positioned his feet and took a practice shot. Finally, he completed the putt and walked towards the clubhouse, feeling satisfied with his four hours of practice that Saturday. Although Hargrave's dedication to golf earned him a first place finish at the city tournament and put him in tough competition with older members of the team, he was not alone in his love for the sport. "These guys are kind of fanatics with golf, which is great," said Coach Phil Nielsen. "When the weather was cold outside, I would have to go outside and say 'Hey guys, let's go home."' For most members of the team, the love of the game started much earlier than high school. "As a kid, my mom would drop me and one of my friends off at the golf course about 6 a.m., and we never wanted to leave," said Todd Cover, who led the team at the CruToll Kuemper Invitational, May 9. "Ever since then, golf has been an addicti'on for me. I spend about three hours a night practicing and working to improve." As a result of their hard work, six team members qualified for State May 29. Surprisingly, sophomore Dan VanBibber finished a step ahead of Cover, placing first at Districts with a score of 77. 'Todd Cover and I tied so we had a play-off," said VanBibber. "I never expected to get close to winning. Afterwru·ds, I wasn't shocked until the next day when I crune down to earth and it hit me." Because of their drive for success, the boys' golf team had an outstanding season, winning five of their eight matches ru1d placing first at City, with a score of 325, 35 strokes ahead of St. Albert. Though the girls placed second at City, the young team, made up totally of underclassmen except for junior Shauna Hale, worked bard to improve their game and finished the season with a 3-3 record. After dropping her best score by eight strokes and placing third in the city tournament, Hale realized that working to relieve stress before and during matches paid off in the end. "In the past, I always put too much pressure on myself to do well," said Hale. "This spring I told myself that I was mainly out to have fun. "l was amazed when I found out I had shot a 90 at City. When I was adding up my score, I kept coming out with 100 because I couldn't believe I had improved so much. Then this girl from Lewis Central added it a11d told me what my score really was." Although Hale learned that relaxing was a key part of the game, Alicia Hughes found that a lot of practicing improved her techniques. "I always try to get all my power into my swing," said Hughes, who won the Tee Jay Invitational. "To improve, I golfed on my own almost every weekend. I think it helped because I was really nervous during the Tee Jay match, and I still managed to do well." Despite the team's lack of experienced golfers, the girl worked hru·d throughout both seasons, finally advancing to Regionals, where they placed fourth. Overall, it was clear that both boys and girls aimed high to keep their golf games up to pru·. -Mary Ryan SHOOTING FOR PAR. Nervously, Dan VanBibber tees olT at the first hole.

"I was so excited when they won, I couldn't say anything," said Andersen. "They were the best group of girls, and deep down, I thought they would pull it through. If they played like they could, I knew they would win." The Lady Lynx faired well against city teams all se~son, opening with a 7-2 win over Tee Jay, but when they faced tougher Metro teams, wins were harder to come by. "I think we kind of bad a bad outlook on the Metro Conference teams," said Amy Andersen. "We could have played a bad team, and just because they were a Metro team, they intimidated us, and we didn't play as well. But the teams at City were girls that we' d played for a long ' time, so we knew how to react to them, and we were a lot more relaxed." The girls were able to_ pull off wins over a few Metro teams, including Ralston, Bellevue West, and Central, but when Sectionals rolled around, their season was cut short because they didn't score enough points to advance to the district tournament. Like the girls, the boys forgot the pain and exhaustion from the heat when they captured the city title by only eight points over St. Albert. "We were dead even in points with St. Albert after the singles matches," said Ryan Lam. "So going into doubles, we knew we had to play really well because St. Albert had always been known for playing good doubles. We ended up winning two doubles titles, which put us ahead by eight points. It was great because we accomplished the first goal we set for the season." At the beginning of the season, the boys set three goals, to win City, go undefeated, and become state champions. Winning City was a breeze for the boys, but the goal of going undefeated seemed like it might be more difficult. "When we started out, we thought becoming undefeated was a long shot," said Jason Johnson . "Red Oak and Kuemper had always had good teams, and we weren ' t really sure what to expect from them this year. It turned out that St. Albert was about our toughest opponent, and we beat them twice and didn't have a problem finishing the season 7-0." The Lynx went into Districts with their undefeated record, hoping to reach their third goal, to win State. They finished second as a team in the tournament and advanced to Substate. But after defeating top seed Ames S-4, they came up justshortofa state berth with a4-5 loss to Sioux City North. Although both teams had their ups and downs, in the end, the one thing remembered above all the rest was the 1992 city championship title the teams shared and the sweltering heat they suffered through to earn that ti tie. -Michele White STRIKE A POSE.

Satisfaction,, 3ood time's 3ivf's re'ason to. JUST DO IT s till groggy eyed from the earliness of the day, 12 basketball players trudged into a silent and empty gym. For the first five minutes almost nothing could be heard except the thumps of a basketball and an occasional toot of a referee's whistle. Then suddenly, as if someone flipped the on switch, the boys came to life. Unlike varsity basketball players, who strutted out into the big gym where music blared and cheers and chants roared, the basketball players described above strutted their stuff for no one but themselves and their teammates. "I like intramurals because I like to play basketball," said Sid Stowe, "but I don't need the stress of another varsity sport. lntramurals lets you have a good time without worrying about winning all the time. We play for ourselves and the fun of it, not for some fans." While personal satisfaction seemed to be the main reason players endured the early morning hours and lack of fans, most agreed that they had. their fun moments, too. "Every time I made a basket, I did a flip," said Andy Smith. "I was out there to have a good time, and that was my way of having fun and livening up the games a little, since we didn' t have the fans to do it." Intramural games weren't the only place where fans were scarce. Those involved in powerlifting and bowling sacrificed the glory and the recognition of varsity sports to indulge in a sport they enjoyed, despite ,its lack of popularity. "Powerlifting isn't as popular as some of the other sports," said Jeremy Zuern. "It's not as organized, either. Basically, it's just a bunch of guys doing something they like doing. We have only four meets, and I think even if we didn't have the sport, all the same guys would still come up and lift just as much. We've all became pretty good friends because we spend so much time up there." During the season, the muscle men were required to practice at least three nights a week, but many lifted every night for an hour and a half to two hours. After working together so often, most lifters found that friendships made in the weight room made up for the lack of fans at meets. "Even though powerlifting is a really individualized sport, everyone is really supportive of each other," said Dan Westervelt. "Everybody who's out for it is out because they like to lift, so we're all really encouraging. Whenever someone needs a spotter, everyone is ready to help, and whenever we do well, everyone is there to cheer us on. In a way, our team is our fans." Like the lifters, the eight people on the bowling team learned to be their own fans, too. "We have to travel pretty far for our competitions," said Bobbi Boehme. "It upsets me that more people aren't even aware that we have a bowling team and that the school won't finace us, but I don't really expect people to come to our tournaments. Nobody realizes how special a 280 is, except myself and my teammates." Whether dragging themselves out of bed before the crack of dawn or doing their personal best at a competition, those involved in nonvarsity sports gained personal satisfation while having fun , despite lack of fan supp011. -Melody Barajas AIR ZUPHER.

Hoping to raise $1 ,000, band members planned their first annual dinner concert for over three months. ~~tJea~ Although for mo t band members tho e high ratings came a no surprise, others were astonished by their accomplishments.

More than $1,200 was raised for the band, mabng the evening profitable as well as enjoyable. "It was really neat to see everyone dressed up, especially the drum ljne," said Amy Varner. "I'm just so used to seeing everyone in jeans and T-shjrts." The evening was not only exciting for band members, but also for their guests. After dessert, the Jazz Band provided music, and guests were invited to become more than just spectators. Many danced for almost an hour on the dance floor. Band members felt the dinner concert was a huge success and looked foward to planning next year's concert. -J.eremy Doyle vision I rating, I was really shocked." Bookout was not the only one who had a day of success. Several students worked hard to prepare more than one contest entry and did well with all of them.

"Even though by the end of the year I hated the computers and wanted to throw them out the wi ndow," editor-in-chief Melody Barajas said, "I have to admit they made things faster. It's easier to find and correct mistakes. With the computers, what we see is what we get because there isn' t a risk of something being altered by someone at the yearbook plant." Staffers' long hours and hard work paid off.

The commercial, which won third place in a state media contest, was just one example of the creative ideas members of AL Insider displayed when completing final project for their semester finals.

Everyone was on edge after two days of strenuous practices. To ease the tenearn! T he gym was still dim as the lights began to flicker on, and sleepy- eyed cheerleaders straggled in. It was 6:30 a.m. when Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations" blared through the sion, Heather Williams popped Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places" into the tape player. Soon everyone started jumping on the beds and singing at the top of their lungs. "Cheerleading has so speakers in the gym.

There's a line in the song that says ' ... to the oasis,' and when that line came, we counted to three and jumped in with all our clothes on." However, once the cheerleaders hit the water, the singing didn't stop. They kept on going even louder. "We were so loud that tons of cheerleaders came out of their rooms and just looked at us," said Ebling. "But we didn't care because it was fun ." When camp had ended, the girls carried on their group singing. Whether it was at early practices or on bus rides to games, cheerleaders were always in perfect harmony. 110~~ we added some original moves too." But a dance that took five hours to design took weeks to learn. "The dance seemed hard at first," said Molly Lookabill, "but after we spent days dancing, it got easier. It turned out to be more fun than it was hard." At the pep assembly for the Tee Jay football game, the cheerleaders performed their dance with the porn pon squad. After a great response from the student body, they knew their hard work had paid off. "The crowd was really supportive," said Lookabill. "A lot of people came up to me afterwards with compliments.

Can I help you ?" asked Amy Stairs as she stood behind the counter at the Target Cafeteria on her second night of training. "I'd like a sausage pizza with extra cheese," said a man. "This is easy," she thought. All she had to do was take her customer's order and prepare it for him. Carefully, she took the frozen pizza out of the freezer, along with what she thought was a bag of mozzarella cheese. She meas~red the correct amount and sprinkled it all over the pizza. Next, she popped it in the oven and set the timer. As she kept checking on the pizza in the oven, she knew that something didn't look quite right. She called her ma_nager over and they quickly discovered that Stai rs had mJstaken a bag of shredded hashbrowns for mozzarella cheese. "I was so embarrassed," said Stairs. "It was even worse because the man was standing right there. He watched my manager tell me that I had to start over. He came over and said, 'Make sure my pizza is the one with extr~ cheese and not hashbrowns." Like Stairs, Emily Baird also experienced embarra sment on the job.

The whole time I wondered what was underneath. My face had to be bright red." While most students were struck with embarrassment once in a while, there were some who always had bad luck. One inservice day, Dawn Wildner and Sarah Lash decided to eat lunch at Burger King. When ~ildner announced that she had to go the bathroom immediately, Lash decided to have some fun by tickling Wildner to make her problem even worse. As Wildner tried to get away, Lash chased her even faster, making her run right into the first room she saw, which happened to be the boys' bathroom. "I tried to stop her," said Lash. "but I was lauohino 0 0 so hard, I couldn't get the words out. She took one step into that bathroom and screamed really loud right in front of a bunch of guys waiting in line." Wildner's embarrassment, however, did not stop at Burger King. She found herself even more embarrassed the night of homecoming, when she joined 19 other people for dinner at Lash's house. "I told Sarah I was going up to the bathroom to freshen up," said Wildner. "She didn ' t tell me that if you shut the door all the way, you can't get it back open. I was in there for at least half an hour screaming my head off for somebody to come up and Jet me out.

But instead of their usual "Bonjour, Madame!" reply, one by one, each student got up and placed an apple on her desk. Whether she realized it or not, Koerber was a victim of brownnosing. "One Monday, she promised us croissants on Friday if we were good all week," said Wendy Koontz. "A few of us wanted to make sure that we got the croissants, so we spent the hour deciding what to do to be nice to her. Instead of just paying attention in class all week, we passed a note around the whole class telling everyone to bring apples on Tuesday. "Mrs. Koerber was gone on Tuesday, so everyone had to leave the apples in their lockers overnight. She was back on Wednesday, so we gave her the apples then. We ilidn't have school on Friday because of the big ice storm, so we got the croissants a couple of weeks late. Although it wasn't as effective as we thought it would be because school was called off and some people forgot to bring the apples in the first place, at least we eventually got the croissants!" Other students brownnosed their way to a higher grade. "In one of my classes, the work was very difficult," said Sara Mason.

Other kids made fun of him, but I just tried to get along with him. I don't think I did any of the work in his class and I ended up with an 'A'!" In search for a better grade, some students took brownnosing one step further than just being nice. "At the end of the first quarter in Mr. Whyte' English class, I was worried about my grade," said Jenny Gregory. "So I started aski ng him about hi garden and acting like I was interested. He even brought pictures to show me. I was trying to get a good grade by brownnosing because I hadn'ttried my harde t in the class so I was happy when he gave me a 'C'." From bringing food to a teacher, to learning how to strike up a conversation with one, many student used brownnosing to their advantage. -Lori Fehr AN APPLE A DA Y ...

(Photo by Amy Andersen) What began as a simple birthday breakfast at the Garden Cafe unknowingly turned into an early morning serenade for Nancy Kemmish. "For my seventeenth birthday Kelly Knudson took me out to breakfast before school," said Kemmish. "When we walked in the door, we saw Coco Fossland, Michele White, Amy Andersen, and Elisa Benson eating breakfast. They wished me a happy birthday and then we were seated at another table across the room. While we were waiting for our food , the waitress brought out a zebra brownie with a candle in it. Then everyone from Coco 's table gathered around us and they sang 'Happy Birthday ' to me. It made me feel good and it started off my day the right way." Along with impromtu parties, planned parties tickled people pink. "It was the week of my friend 's birthday," said Ryan Kell ey, "and no matter how many times I asked her what ·he wanted to do to celebrate, she would always say, 'I don't care !' Finally, I gave up and a few of us started planning a surprise birthday party behind her back. "When it came time to pick her up Saturday night, I had to think of a lie to explai n why the other couple wasn't in the car, and then another to explain why we had to go to the old YMCA. I ended up telling her that they weren't ready yet, and my wallet was up at the old YMCA so we had to go get it.

It was great, she never suspected a thing." Although birthdays were one popular reason for surprising people, there were definitely other times to express friendship and love. "My boyfriend always sends me flowers," said Haley Evans. "The first day of school he sent me five roses and an 'I Love You ' balloon. One night at color guard practice I got sick and had to go to the emergency room, and the next day when I opened my locker, I found roses he had put there to make me feel better." Like Evans, Jordan Christiansen was also thrilled by surprise gifts from her boyfriend. "I was in my seventh hour algebra class one day," said Chiistiansen, "and it was my tum to read off a line of problems out of my notebook. All of a sudden my class got really quiet. I looked up and there was a ring box and a rose on my desk from my boyfriend, Aaron. The entire class was watching and crowding around a I opened it. I wa really emban-assed. I went out in the hall to find him, but he was already gone. I definitely never expected it. but I loved it.

Some argued that although guys did experience jealousy, they chose not to admit them. "Jealousy is an emotion, and guys like to keep their emotions inside," said Ryan Lam. "I think that guys are scared to find out what others will think of the way they feel, so they say they aren 't jealous." While some found the easiest way to cope with their jealousy was to keep it inside, others realized they had to fast fee l better about themselves before they could overcome their jealousy. " I think jealousy is actually just insecuritie about yourself," said Courtney Griffin. "It' the con tant yearning to have what someone el e ha .

The lies of the 90's were not that much different than those on Leave it to Beaver. Many students saw lying to their parents as the only way to get to do what they wanted. "If I didn 't lie to my parents, I'd never get to go anywhere or do anything," said one senior girl. "At first lying to them was realJy hard. They would always give me a look like they didn 't trust me. That would make me feel guilty, but after I got away with it a few times, it was a lot easier." Students most commonly lied about where they were and who they were staying with, according to another senior girl. "A lot of times everyone is going to the same place, usually a drinking party," she said. "So they lie and tell their parents they are spending the night with a friend. That way they can be with their friends and not have to worry about a curfew." Some students got really creative with their lies. "We just got back from a band contest and a lot of my friends were going out," one senior girl said. "I wanted to go, but I knew my mom wouldn 't letme. Iwentanywayanddidn 'tgethomeuntil 11:30p.m. I had to think of somethjng fast, so I told her that I got locked in the band room while unloading the trailer and had to find someone to let me out. She actually bel ieved me!" Many students found that when caught in a lie, the punishment was severe. "For the longest time I was lying almost every weekend ," a senior boy said. "One time I told my parents I was goi ng to a friend 's house, and he told his parents he was staying at my house. Both of our parents called the other and found out that we lied. I was grounded for two weeks. I couldn't even use the phone. Now I hardly ever lie to my parents." Although being grounded was the most commo_n punishment among students, many found losing their parents' trust was worse.

Some put books in their lockers, others got a drink from the fountain, and still others stood around talking to friends. But when the word "fight! " rang out, throngs of students, suddenly energized, rushed to the scene. Out of 50 students polled, 26 students said they had fought at least once. According to Melanie Shellberg, vice principal, most fights were due to rumors, long time grudges, and girlfriend/boyfriend problems. "This girl tried to break up me and my boyfriend by throwing herself at him," said Jodi Stansbeny. "By fighting, I thought she'd grow up and leave me and my boyfriend alone." Students were also found fighting as they tried to defend other people. I "This kid was saying rude things to my mom," said II Jim Godsey. "I wasn't going to just stand there and let him say those things, so I threw a punch at him." Although fighting seemed ljke the only solution at the FIGHT? FIGHT? WHERE'S THE FIGHT? In search ofa fight between Tim Cordell and Larry Snodgrass, students gather around Cordell after school in the parking lot. "I wanted to fight him because he was bothering my girlfriend and calling me a wimp," said Cordell. "But he didn't show up. The next day, he wanted to fight, but l figured that since he didn't show up the first time, why waste my time." (Photo by Amy Negrete) ue time of the incident, some students regretted their actions. "Personally, I wish that I didn't fight," said Christy Kelly, after getting suspended for three days. "It wasn 't worth getting suspended and I felt bad after I did it." Rumors and misinformation among students also caused fights. When a student misinfom1ed Rick Jones that his best friend was the person who stole his car stereo, Jones immediately went over to his friend's house and started a fight with him before asking him if the information wa~ true. Jones ended up breaking his friend 's nose and subsequently lost the trust of his best friend and his friend's parents. "I regret what I did because we were best friends and I should have been the one to trust him and our friendship," he said. "It took a long time to regain his trust in me, but we are friends again." Counselor Barry Coates said that most fights happen because no one is there to help the students involved solve their problems, and other students egg them on. Even though fights attracted large crowds, however, most students didn't believe in fighting. "Fighting is definitely not a solution," said Deann Klever. "You can hit a pillow to let your anger out instead of hitting someone else." -Krissa Rossbund & Amy Thatcher Joel Waters Joh Watkins Pat Watkin David Wegman Barb Wehrrnacher Susan Well Jenny Wheeldon Andrea Wheeler Angie White Michele White Regina Whitney Dawn Wildner Jessica Wilks Matt Wille Heather William Mike Wojcke Tyler Woods Stephani Yearian ~127 Joe Acosta Terra Adams John Akers Pete Anderson Richard Anderson Michael Angeroth Emilee Applegate Kathy Baker Randy Ballenger Karen Barker Partricia Bartlett Steve Baxter Shirley Belt Matt Bennett Steve Beraldi Tina Berg Bobbi Jo Boehme Jennifer Bogardus Jeremy Bonar John Borwick Sid Bos Carrie Brookhart Aaron Brooks Jim Brown Kathy Brown Rachel Burgett Chris Bums Tiffany Butterbaugh Brian Butts Jordan Christiansen David Co!Jins Elaine Colter Jamie Combs Michelle Cox Pam Cozad Chris Croson Jackie Daley Jennifer Daniels Jeff Davis Kathleen Delehant Carol Dobek Tony Dominguez Kent Dreyer Stacy Ebling Michelle Edie Michelle Fastnacht Todd Feilen Jon Fenner Frank Ferguson Dustin Fichter Missy Fischer Shannon Flynn Heather Fox Stephanie Franks David Freeman Carrie Funkhauser Scott Garrison Nathan Gearhart James Gibson KimGift Steve Gillette Desiree Golden John Griffin Scott Grimsley Chad Grishaber Wes Gu tafson Chris Gylling Todd Haggstrom Nathan Hagman Shauna Hale Matt Hall Scott Hamling Off the Top of Dur Heads From rap to rock, students tune in usic Inadness Whether jamming to certain music at a school dance, singing to it in the car on the way to work, or playing it at a Friday night party, students showed a wide variety of tastes in music. "Alternative is my favorite kind of music because the bands that play it are usually really good. My favorite groups are The Rollins Band and The Velvet Underground because their lyrics are original. I got started listenjng to alternative when some friends and I went to Drastic Plastics in the Old Market. They got me hooked. Also I know a lot of people from Omaha who hang around in the club scene." -Eric Berner "I really hate Heavy Metal. It's too loud and you can't understand what they're saying. I like country music because it's kind of different from all other music and it is easy to understand. I also like the old stuff like John Lennon because it's super neat to hear what kind of music my parents listened to and actually ljke it." -Kellie Clifton "Billy Joel and Richard Marx are my favorite artists. I listen to soft rock because it's mellow and very relaxing. The lyrics are very easy to understand, unlike hard rock, which doesn't make any sense. -Craig Simmions "Country music is just not appealing to me. It's too twangy and the lyrics are too down home. It sounds lfre they don't have any education when they sing." -Matt Timm "I used to like classical music, but I outgrew it. Now I like alternative music like Jesus Jones because it's really easy to dance to. I can't stand headbanger music. Everyone acts crazy when they listen to it." -Chris Scott "Rap is cool, especially Candyman. It is easy to get into and dance to. I like the beat to it best. Before I moved to Council Bluffs, I dido 't like it, but the friends I met here listened to it and I djdn't have a choice but to listen.

In the comer of the room lay that night's homework, slowly collecting dust. Occasionally she glanced at the books, wondering if she should interrupt her five- hour phone conversation to do the work. Marathon phone calls were common among students. In a poll of 160 students, 20 said their longest conversation was three hours, and a fourth of those polled said their usual phone conversation lasted about 30 minutes. Two topics most often crept into phone conversations. Seventy-nine percent of students polled discussed weekend plans, while 73 percent discussed the opposite sex. Tim Riedesel and girlfriend Kirsten LeClair discussed a number of unique topics. "Kirsten and I talk about everything from what nail polish she should wear, to who is driving to school, to naming our kids, to future occupations," said Riedesel. Parents didn't find such conversations as exciting, though. In fact, 26 students said they argued with their parents weekly about the phone, which parents insisted would become permanently attached to their teen's ear. Andi Wheeler's father found a simple solution to those arguments. "I was on the phone really late and he kept letting me know that I had to get off the phone," said Wheeler. "Finally when I did, he came down and took the phone out of the wall. To this day the phone is still missing." Jessie Morris was another person whose Jong hours on the phone upset her parents. One night she had a friend over and they called a boy that she liked and talked to him for eight hours. At the same time her sister, who had gone out of town, was trying to call to let her parents know that she had arrived safely. She called and called and finally had to call the operator to make an emergency call. Needless to say, Morris's parents were very upset. Parents found one way to end the many hours on the phone was to ground the student. In the case of Riedesel and LeClair, even being grounded did not stop their long hours on the phone. Riedesel remembered when he and LeClair were grounded from each other for three days. On the first two days, they wrote each other notes during school and on the third, he told herto call him at l a.m. and he would have the phone under a pillow to muffle the sound. She called at exactly l a.m. and they talked for several hours after that. Not being able to talk on the phone was like a painful withdrawal for many students. "After I got grounded for my grades, the phone would ring, and on impulse I would jump up to get it," said Hartzell. "I was so starved to talk on the phone that it didn't matter who it was. I would have talked to anybody." -Jacki Hayes , Amy Judkins Diane Kalar Carrie Kalkman Christi Kelly Susan Kelly Nancy Kemmish Jim Killion Robert King Deann Klever Landon Knauss Kelly Knudson Brian Kruse Jenny Kullborn Cherry Kyle Jeff Larsen Laura Lash Kirsten Le Clair Becky Lee Darice Limpp Beth Linberg Molly Lookabill Anne Madison Grace Madsen Brad Malick SATURDAY AFTERNOON BLUES lead Waylon Foutch to call a few of his friends.

" Jeers and cheers rang out of the crowd as Mike Porter, who waited helplessly at the top of the bleachers, was lifted up into the air by a group of senior guys and thrown to the bottom of the bleachers, where another group of guys waited to 'catch him. "I was shocked when they picked me up," said Porter. "But there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it since they were a little bigger than me. The next thing I knew I was flying through the air." The "freshman toss" was only part of the action that went on off the football field at Friday night games. Although most students supported their team, the majority thought of football games as a time t'i) have fun, act crazy, and be with their friends. "I go to football games to be with my friends," said Matt Birdsong. "It really doesn't make a difference if we are at the mall or the game, just so long as we are hanging out together. Football games just seem to be where the most action is on Friday nights so we go there and walk around and talk to everyone." Many students agreed that socializing was the best part of football games. "The main reason I go to football games is to find out what's going on," said Shelly Lamkins. "My friends and I just walk around and see what everyone's doing after the game. It's a good way to find out where the Tramayne Mallindine Jessica Mankin Kevin Manz Cory Mase Sara Mason Nate May Justin Mayabb Jason Mayberry Christy McClairy Angie McConnell Rob McCoy Jennifer McDonald Kelly McGee Kari McKeeman Michelle McNeal Jared Merksick Amy Meyers Chad Miller Jacquie Mohatt Shay Molgard Becca Moli ne Misty Moore Tobbie Mowery Nicole Moxley 13~ parties are." While socializing seemed to be the most popular offthe-field entertainment, many students also had fun displaying their school spirit. "The night of the homecoming game Kelli Smith brought horns for some of our friends," said Kim Gift. "The crowd wasn't very energized, so we tried to pep them up by standing up and tooting the school song over and over again in our horns. We weren't really paying attention to the game, but at least we had a lot of fun and showed our spirit." Another popular way to show school pride was with cans of silly string and bags of confetti. "We always squirt silly string when our football team makes 9. touchdown because everyone is so excited," said Heather Haines. "It's a way to help the crowd have a good time and show our spirit." Whether looking for action on or off the field, most students agreed that Friday night football games were always a good time. -Melody Barajas GETTING WILD AT THE TEE JAY GAME, Craig Steppuhn, Benji Hewitt, and Jacquie Mohatt show their spirit by cheering AL on during the fourth quarter.

Despite the high cost, 13 out of 125 students polled said they regularly went to a dermatologist. "I've been going to a dermatologist once a month for over a year to get pills and topical cream," said Angie Johnson, whose parents had spent over $1000 on medicine and office visits. "Although my mom initially got me started and I don't think I would continue ifl had to pay for it myself, I do feel better about myself when the medication works. It's true when people say, 'If you look good, you feel good."' Tanning at salons was one of the most popular methods of self-improvement, with 25 percent of students polled saying they had tanned. "I have such a pale complexion that I used to get teased when I was younger, and I feel really pale when I don 't tan," said Kristi Neff, who had been tanning before special occasions for more than three years. "Deep down inside, I know I don ' t have that dark California tan, but getting a little color gives ~ a sense of being a little better than I used to be. I e probably spent more than $100 tanning." A more permanent way to change appearanc - was plastic surgery, which 16 out of 125 student polled said they would have if money were available. "I was croin cr in for surgery to reconstruct m ' I:> I:> "d h sinus tract," said Eric Potter, "and my doctor sat e could fix the bump on my nose where it had en broken when I was little.

Finally, tired and exhausted from arguing, Sue reluctantly thrust a dollar bill into the moocher's hand. This scene relpayed itself time after time, day after day, in the cafeteri a as dozens of moochers worked on their victims, especially on freshmen. In a poll of 130 students, 62 freshmen said they were hit al most everyday by a mooch, while most upperclassmen said they were accosted once a week or less. "A lot of freshmen are looking for friends, so they usually give you the money," said Jeremy Neely, a well known mooch, according to a survey. "They are not smart enough to realize friends can't be bought." Most polled said they did not like to support a moocher and felt bad after giving money away, knowing they would never see it agai n. "I feel dumb. I know I've been used," said Michelle Mooberry. "But moochers are the type of people who aren't afraid to do anything. They obviously know how to con you out of money." Moochers begged, whined, and irritated so much until finally their victims gave in. "I give into moochers because I want them to stop bothering me," said Sara Ogden. "It gets annoying having to sit and listen to them whine." Students said two of the most successful moochers were Neely and Travis Hatcher. "Hatcher and I have competitions," said the infamous Neely. "We see who can mooch and get the most. On an average day, I make about $4, and I, of course, always come out victorious. "My good looks and conniving personality bring me success, while Travis is just a freshman and doesn't know the tricks of the trade, like being friend] y."

Actually, the food is great and they have such good service." -Chris Woods "I really like all types of food, but next to Mexican food, Chinese is the best. My favorite Chinese restaurant is The Imperial Palace. Their atmosphere is great. It's so inviting and looks authentic. My favorite thing to order is the beef chow mien. It's tender vegetables and juicy bits of meat in the best sauce." -Heather Binns t= ttst food resfttttrttltf s 1. Taco Bell 2. Burger King 3. McDonald's 4. Subway 5. Pizza Hut 6. Taco Johns 7.

' ream_1n away In deep sleep when the subcon~cious ru~ed the mind, snoozers experienced the weird, the frightful, and the fanciful. "Everything was nonnal at home, and my house ~oked as it always had. I decided to go over and v1s1t my grandma. When I came back home, nothing was there. Everyone in my fami ly had moved out of my house for no apparent reason. All the furniture was gone and there was nothing in the house." -JJ Marsh "I was at the Academy Awards, and my family and I were all dressed up in really fancy outfits except for my dad who was embarrassing me because he was weaiing hol~y sweat pants and a plaid shirt. I was going to receive an award because I was a great actress, but I was running away because I didn't want ai1yone to know he was my dad. On top of that, Barbara Walters was chasing me down, trying to get an interview with me." - Jenny Kramer "My fiiend and I were-at the bowling alley, and my friend 's ex-boyfriend showed up. He had told u that on her sixteenth birthday, he was going to kidnap her and handcuff her. He started chasing both of us, and from out of nowhere, I popped out from behind a pop machine and shot him" -Gina DiCenzo "I always remember the reoccurring nightmare I used to have. This guy would stait chasing me through the vacant lot across the street from my house. A I would try to run away from him, the wind would tart blowing right at me and I couldn't run any farther. It didn't matter, though, because I always woke up before he caught me." -Am. Hagg ·cram Off the Iop of Our He a dS Pets a valued part of family life nilllal house Standing in the late afternoon sun, Pam Cozad carefully tossed the battered yellow tennis ball across her yard. Eagerly, filer collie, Button, retrieved the object and came bounding back, wanting to play again. "I feel it is important to play with my pets as often as I can," said Cozad. "They have grown to be part of the family and I think they really need a lot of attention." Of 141 students pollled, 115 had pets and 85 said their pets were extremely important to them. "If I were to lose one of my pets, I'd feFl terrible," said Ben Chase, whose family owned three dogs and two cats. "I'd feel like I had lost a best friend. My whole family wouJd be upset." Sometimes students were the only members of their family who cared about their pet. "My mom is petrified of my iguana, Sebastian," said Anne Madison. "She runs away from him and is afraid to feed him because she thinks he'll attack her Leo Long Bobby Madsen Man Mahlberg Aaron Mailey Jeni Malone Jody Mantich Amy Manz Karrie Marshall Courtney Martin Michael Mass Sadie Mass Jaclyn Mayberry Michelle McClure Bri an Mclntosh Kevin Mclntosh Tony Merksick Lisa Merrill Jon Merritt Marissa Michael Cara Miller Eric Miller Tony Miller Daniel Mohatt Kelly Mooberry Christina Moore Jessie Morris Marjie Muehlig Tracy Mulnix Terri Munch Tiffany Musgrave Jason Myers or something." Others were attached to their pets because they hoped to do well in 4-H competitions. "Every day I have to hold my rabbits and let them get used to me," said Shelly DeWitt. "In order for them to do well at fair, they have to be used to being handled often." Becoming attached to a pet bad drawbacks, especially the pain experienced when a pet died. "My family had a cat named Tabitha for about eight years," said Kelli Smith. "She got really old and couldn' t walk because the muscles in her back legs went out. The morally correct thing to do was to have her put to sleep, even though we hated to because we loved her so much. I cried for a long time when my mom took her away because I knew I'd never see her again. It was awful." Whether they owned-a dog, cat, or an iguana, students said their pets were an important part of everyday life. -Karen Barker Clay Nee 1 1 / Dia ... --. .. -- WHILE LOOSE IN THE HOUSE, Sadie, Anne Madison 's ferret, lets Madison hold her.

"I am an avid Republican, and in eighth grade we were having a discussion about politics. People started slamming on Richard Nixon, saying he was a crook and was going to jail. I got really mad and stuck up for him, so people started calling me Nixon." -Chad Sumpter "Brian Hiatt thought I looked like the guy on the Planter's peanut commercial, so he started calling me Peanut during football. When people heard about it, they started calling me that too. It's kind of stuck." -Bill Shipley "When I was five, I got my hair cut really short. I came home and my brothers started laughjng and saying I looked like a boy, and even my kindergarten teacher thought I was a boy. They started calling me Stanley, and at first I got really mad. But they still call me Stanley today, and it doesn't bother me anymore." -Stacey Knauss "I love country music, especially Garth Brooks. I have Garth Brooks C.D.' s, posters, magazine articles, pictures, and T-shirts. A few of my friends call me Garth Jr. because I like him so much." -Chad Nation "Everyone started calling me Flash after a bonfire party. I had heard two people were out in a car making out. Since I didn't have any film left, I went up to the car and pushed my test button so my flash would go off. Let me just say I saw a full moon.

Either in or out If you had a chance to do your life over again, would you still choose a career in teaching, knowing what you know today? "I would not have become a teacher. I would want to go into a career where I could still help people, yet receive more respect. I think that in any career that you put four years of college and $50,000 into, you should get more respect." - Jacque Hall "I wouldn't have become a teacher because I feel that students don't give a damn anymore and teachers don ' t get the support we used to." -Dennis DeVault "I would still choose a career in the teaching profession.

I like the degree of freedom with teaching; it's nice to be able to attend classes and take vacations with my family during the summer. I like to work with people and I feel I am doing something worthwhile." -Christine Fink "When I was in college, mo t women went into three field - teaching, nursing and secretarial. Today, there are many more professional opportunities for women which command more re pect and monetary rewards than teaching. Ifl had to do it over. I would not go into teaching." -Linda Smoley Teachers often found ... Speaking out Do you feel that America's education and economic systems are going downhill? Do you feel that young people today will not have as much educationally and economically as your generation? "America's education and economic systems are, to some degree, on their way down. I think it's a direct reflection of social problems with the disintegration of a family. However, I am optimistic with the educational goals of my own children that they will achieve or surpass my abilities." -Jim Cunningham "Our economic system is on a down fall because the government is looking for a quick-fix, or politically correct ways to solve long-term major problems." -William Forsee "I don ' t think education is falling.

The middle class is being squeezed out by expensive government programs that give tax breaks to the rich and welfare programs to the poor.

I was afraid that the people who lived in the houses would come out and see us, or a cop would drive by and see us." -Chris Jones "At a soccer game, Kelli Smith's film wouldn't roll back into her camera, and since you have to roll film in the dark, Kelli suggested I get into her trunk to roll it. That day it was 92 degrees, and the trunk felt like a sauna. I was afraid I would run out of air because it takes so long to roll the film. When I was done, I knocked, hoping I wouldn't get trapped." -Gina DiCenzo "One njght a friend's tire fell off, and he called me. It was about 2 a.m. He wanted me to come out and help him. We have only one door in our house, and my room is right next to my parents' room. I had to close their door as quietly as possible. I was so afraid I'd get caught because I knew ifl did, I'd be in big trouble. Luckily they didn 't catch me." -Michelle Edie "Corey Bell and I were in Target and took this Ecto Plasmic slime out of the package and threw it around the aisle. We put some in toy boxes and went back a couple of days later. It was still there, dried and crusted. Sales clerks were eying us most of the time we were in there, but I don't think they saw us." -Andy Sorensen. " I went driving without a license. I don't even have a permit. My parents weren't home and I had wanted to do that for a long time. I picked up a few friends and we went cruising. I hit a few curbs. My mom found out and I got grounded for one month." -Amy Huseth "Some friends and I were out one night. We planned on going to rock-a-bowl, but one person I was with wasn't supposed to go, and her dad was up there, so we had to leave. Not knowing what to do, we ended up just country driving.

In the beginning he said I would graduate. I have done everything I was supposed to. Five weeks before graduation he dropped me from seventh hour P.E. He said I missed too many days, but I am in golf, so I have an early out. I will fight this." -Rick Day "I worked so hard on the routine I did for porn pon and when I did it, my mind drew a total blank. Everybody only got one chance to try out, but there was one girl who got to do a videotaped tryout, which means she could have re-taped until it was perfect and she only came to one practice. I felt this to be unfair. -Lisa Rasmussen "In basketball, I don't feel people got fair playing time. During practice the coach always picked out the five starters and worked with them. He excluded the other players who weren't as good. He would do anything for a win. Ifwe didn't win, he would run us more and tell us we needed behaviormodificatons. He'donlypointoutthe things we did wrong and rarely gave compliments." -Marissa Michael "My dad is an alcoholic, and when he came home from the hospital where he was being treated, he still would not stop drinking. He has been an alcoholic for 12 years and when I was little, it used to scare me. Now that I'm older, it just worries me more. I used to go out and do bad things to get negative attention from my father, thinking that would make my dad stop. It didn't work, but I now try to stay off the street and out of trouble because I don't want to end up like my father. " -Eric Miller ALL RUN DOWN.

As we were sitting by the window, I looked out and saw a guy walking into the restaurant with his girlfriend. He looked like Luke Perry. Someone got the idea to ask for autographs. Theresa Savick was the first to go up to him, and then a group ofus gathered around their table saying things like we watched 90210 all the time. We told him we thought he was Luke Perry. He autographed napkins for us, signing his real name and putting "Luke" below it. His girlfriend took a pictme of all of us with him, and then Theresa took a picture of him with his girlfriend." -Molly Lookabill "One Saturday night a few of my friends and I went to Lake Manawa to go fishing. As it got dark, the water looked tempting and we decided to go swimming. We weren't planning on it, so Chad Nation and Ryan Kelly ran around looking for an extra pair of shorts. I couldn't find any, so I jumped in the water in my underwear. The worst part was the water was about 40 degrees. It wasn't so bad after your body went numb, but you had to keep moving around, and you couldn't stand up because there was a wind blowing across the lake that was freezing:" -Jon Fenner "After senior honors night, a couple of us seniors went out. We couldn't find anything to do, so we decided to tee-pee people's houses. We tried to think of people we didn't like, but we decided on people we knew. Kristin Capron just happened to be one of them. ALI of her house lights were on, and there was even a yard light on, but we did it anyway. After Kristin found out it was us, she told me she was going to get 40 people to come tee-pee my house. We decided to be clever and get her back before she could get me back, so we went and stole signs from all over town. We were going to put them in her yard , but they had a dog on the porch and her dad came out, so we tried to stick them in the ground right by the street before we took off. She never did get me back." -Jen Wheeldon SHOOTING FOR A DUNK.

Since my freshman year I haven't taken school as seriously as I should have. I let it go down so low I had to work hard to bring it up my junior year. I had to go in after school for extra help, I paid more attention in class, and I asked more questions. I think it's paid off for me." -Julie Porter "I wanted to make freshman football captain and I knew to achieve this, I'd have to give 110 percent. The competition was tough, especially with the talent on the line. I worked so hard in practice and at games, and I kept my team enthused. In short, I worked my butt off. I made captain." -Jim Hastie "In speech class, I switched my topic for my original oratory. I _ couldn't find enough information that was persuasive. I ended up doing an eight to ten minute speech all the night before. When I presented the speech, it wasn't long enough, and since I did it the night before, it wasn't as extemporaneous as I would have liked, but I think I got a pretty good grade." -Kellie Clifton "To make the honor roll this quarter, 1 took my homework home every night and spent two hours a night studying. I really had to push myself because all that studying was really getting boring." -Tracey Bourke "To get my design notebook done for journalism, I had to have encouragement so I bet Mrs. Smoley my ring that I would have it done. I didn't think she'd take my ring, but she did, and I had to get it back. It actually motivated me to get the notebook done." "I put together art projects, did research on the ecological system, and listened to all the music we were supposed to so that I could compete in the Academic Decathalon. In the end we didn't have enough people to compete anyway." -Gina Miller WHAT A DRILL.

Grossed out by their findings in a pig fetus's head, Stacy Seidler and Amy Snodgrass cringe while they dissect the fetus in instructor William Forsee's seventh hour zoology class. "Dissecting the pigs was so gross!" said Seidler. "It smelled awful, and when I cut the heart open, all this brown stuff burst out of it everywhere. I was so glad when we were done." The pigs were the last species students had to dissect before the year's end. (Photo by Amy egrete) If EAVE-HO.

After 180 days of school, though, we were used to his demands that we get to class on time and keep the building spotless. We had come to expect his friendly pats on the back and personal stories he loved to tell. Principal Jim Lake had lost his novelty. But the spirit and changed attitudes he brought about remained fresh and new within us, whether we were underclassmen sweating it out until the very last day or graduates marching down the aisle.

Instead of letting off stink bombs and littering the halls with seas of trash as in the past, most students were found participating in class discussions and taking exams until the very last minute of the last day. As the year drew to a close, we were outta here in a style AL had never een before. -Melody Barajas i eART ATTACK!

Instead of the good-natured pandemonium of pep assemblies and sporting events, a deathly silence filled the crowed fieldhouse. Quietly, students waited for PrincipalJirn Lake to explain his first hour announcement which had canceled the Homecoming picnic and car rally. Lake had imposed the punishment because of disorderly conduct and alcohol use at the --- TeeJay game. Taking the microphone before the student body, Lake reinstated the picnic and car rally, citing unfairness to student government members planning the events and those not involved at the game. However, Lake said problems still needed to be solved. NOSE JOB. To transform Karen Barker's car • into Al's mascot for the Homecoming car rally Oct. 2, Jenifer Steger tapes a Lynx nose to the hood.

Although the year may have gotten off to a bleak beginning, students began to make a scene. For the second time in the last three years, the volleyball team qualified for state competition in Cedar Rapids Nov. 12-14. Although the netters lost to Knoxville 1-4, they were the first AL team in history to win a game in a state team competition. On a national scale, The Echoes staff won its first National Pacemaker, an award given to nine school newspapers in the country. Also, the speech and debate team won one of 50 national awards for excellence in speech. Some students traveled across the country to be recognized. The 200-member Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band performed in the Fiesta' Bowl Parade in Tempe, AZ. Thirteen AL students qualified to join them and appear on national television Jan. 1. Whether improving school pride or winning national awards, students found many ways to make a scene. -Karen Barker and Kelly Knudson ~Open ng -- 1~ ···~· - -- ~---- Ge, , Ak ~4 ...

The audience, packed into the fieldhouse for a Dec. 11 pep assembly, broke into cheers as members flaw less! y tossed their flags back and forth. The color guard performance was just one example of students entertaining others through school activities or surprise shows. The musical, The Wizard of Oz, which had more than 100 actors ranging in age from five to eighteen, also amused students. "Everybody liked The Wizard of Oz," said Carrie Brookhart. "People loved seeing the little kids because they're so cute, and I think they were surprised at how well they spoke with an Irish accent." But not all shows were school-sponsored. By singing "Elvira" in a karaoke contest at their hotel, volleyball players amused a bar full of people at the state volleyball tournament in Cedar Rapids. "The people in the bar wouldn't let us in because we were underage," said Nancy Kemmish. "But we got our coaches to talk to them and they let us in to sing one song. It was embarrassing but fun. On certain parts of 'Elvira' the front row would bob down and then the back row would bob down when the front row came back up. 011e table in the audience was even cheering us on and clapping with the music." Taking their love of performing even further, Eric Potter, Jodi Wonder, Stacy Hathaway and Tara Roberts started a "Nerd-AGram'' business, for which they dressed up as nerds and serenaded friends and family for their birthdays. "We had such a blast on Nerd Day during Homecoming last year, we wanted to dress up more often," said Potter. "The first time we went out was the best. WewenttoGrisanti's fora birthday. We went up to the table and everyone got out of the booth to watch. Then we sang 'Happy Birthday' and, at the end, I ripped open my shirt to show 'Happy Birthday' written on my chest. The person we were singing to was totally embarrassed . Her face was .bright red! We were worried that we'd be disturbing other people's dinner, but everyone in the restaurant was totally silent watching us. It was such a blast, an unbelievable high." From planned performances to spontaneous shows to moneymaking schemes, students found acting up a valuable form of recreation. -Kelly Kn udson tudent Life Division With a wink to their audience, color guard members Robin Shepar d and Connie Roden perform a routine to "I get by with a little help from my friends" at KirnJuniorHighJan.14.

After she collected enough leaves to make a wreath for her Toga Day costume, she looked at the clock and realized she had spent more than two hours working on her Homecoming costume. "I spent at least an hour every night, plus a couple of hours the weekend before, preparing my outfits and thinking of original, cute ideas," said Neff. The extra time Neff spent on her costumes was noticed when she dressed up for Animal Day, Hippie Day, Toga Day, Midwestern Day and Spirit Day. Neff dressed up for many reasons. "Since it's my senior PENGUIN POWER. Showing her school spirit by dressing up as a penguin, Kristi Neff eats lunch on Animal Day.

Some approved, some complained of unfairness, but all voiced feelings of shock and disbelief in response to Principal Jim Lake's first hour announcement on the Monday of Homecoming week that he was cancelling Friday's picnic and car rally. Lake cited disorderly conduct and blatant alcohol use at the ALTeeJay football game the previous Friday as reason for the punishment.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) As students and staff reflected on Lake's announcement, they were forced to address serious problems during what had traditionally been a week of fun and games. After the shock wore off, many students were angry. "Mr. Lake's announcement made me mad," said Brandi Brown. "I had been planning on being in the car rally with five of my friends since before the car rally was even announced." Others were concerned with fairness. "I know trying to stop people from drinking was right," said Donny Kramer, "but only a handful of students ruined Homecoming week." Later, Lake also became concerned with fairness.

Lake then explained that a breathalyzer would be used at all succeeding school functions to curb alcohol use. "I hope we don't have to check anyone," said Lake. "But with their conduct, students have forced me to take action." Despite worries that Homecoming spirit couldn't be restored, the picnic was spirited and successful. "Before Friday, hardly anyone dressed up and particiapted," said Grant Muehlig. "On Friday, though, the mood changed drastically. People I had never seen dress up before dressed up for Spirit Day and the picnic." After eating a school lunch of hot dogs, baked beans and potato chips, students talked with their friends, played football and Frisbee, or danced to Primus.

After the picnic, students encouraged the football team at the pep assembly, also held on the field. Though the football team lost 7-60 to Burke, many students saw an improvement in fan behavior. "Before the breathalyzer, I'd spend football games complaining about people smoking and falling all over everyone," said Jen Steger. "But at the Homecoming game, I could actually hear people cheering. It sounds cliche, but my friends and I left feeling proud of AL." At the student government-sponsored dance, students danced in a "Time Warp" with each comer of the fieldhouse representing a different era. "When we first got to the dance, it was slow," said Kellie Clifton. "It took everyone a while to get excited, but after coronation it was more fun."

The spooky mood had been created for the DECA-sponsored Halloween dance, "Monster Bash," which offered students yet another Halloween activity. "After we decided to definitely have the dance, it took a lot of planning," said Manny Hernandez, DECA vicepresident. "We started a month before, getting donations from businesses for door prizes and food. We also setup chaperones, security guards and a d.j. But after all the time spent, we broke about even."

"My friends and I went to Mystery Manor," said Pete Tornabane. "In the first room, I saw a guy standing like a statue. I flipped him off, so he slammed me against the wall and shoved me out the chicken exit. I was surprised he kicked me out for that." Like Tornabane, others found Halloween a time for mischievous fun. Eight girls seeking revenge scurried from a van to launch toilet paper into the trees of Chad Lapel's yard. After only five minutes, Tracy Thomas noticed Lapel's dad watching from the window. "When Tracy yelled, 'Oh my God, his parents are watching,' we dropped everything and ran for the car," said Allison Borman. "Chad's dad yelled,' Get the license plate number!' But Tracy drove off too fast. We were so lucky we didn't get caught." Whether tricks or treats, Halloween activities surprised students. -Rhonda Fanning Putting on a blond wig, Jennifer Barker becomes Jan Brady for the Halloween dance.

Although panic sturck the instant she looked at the ballot's sea of levers and unfamiliar names, Walker soon found help. ''When I walked in, I felt stupid, but the lady by the booth was nice," Walker said. "She put the machine on a mock setting for me. Without her I would've had no idea what to do." Despite the fear of "looking stupid," first time voters from 18 to 21 years old turned out in larger numbers than ever before, up 17 percent from 1988' s voter turnout. Some credited the increase in younger voters to better education. Through MTV's "Rock the Vote" campaign and TV specials like "Choose or Lose," many learned more about the voting process and Mischievously, Peggy Murray and Brian Kruse hang Democratic signs on Chad Sumpter's car in the school parking lot on election day.

They even had booths in shopping centers," said Brandy J. Brown. "I thought it was a long process, but all I did was send in my name and social security number." Another reason for greater turnout, some felt, was more choices, with baby boomer Bill Clinton and billionaire Ross Perot opposing the Republican adminstration of the past 12 years. "I think having three candidates instead of two made it interesting," S<!-id Jennifer Bogardus. "Perot wasn't your typical phony politician. He didn't say things just to get votes, and I think kids really liked that." Across the nation, Clinton won 44 percent of the popular vote to Bush's 40 percent and Perot's 16 percent. -Emilee Applegate M aking sure all eligible voters have a ride to the polls, Gina Malloyandherfather,Jon,make phone calls from Democratic headquarters.

With her blonde hair curled perfectly and her makeup in place, Sara Borman had just finished getting ready for another day at school. Suddenly, her father announced that school was cancelled for the day, due to slippery roads. "I was mad because other schools found out at 6:30 and they didn't announce us until 7:15," said Borman. "Even though I was all ready, I went back to bed!" School cancellations became farnilar to students as winter storms caused three snow days and four late starts during the winter. Many students took advantage of the unexpected breaks. ''My friends and I went sledding on the hill behind the Do Wash Car Wash," said Brian Collier. "When I was going down, I hit this huge Artist at work, Charlotte Trappet paints Heather Ruby's cheek at Lyn x-0-Rama Jan. 29.

The Booster Club sponsored fundraiser included a chili cook-off, auction, karaoke machine, and carnival games run by various organizations.

Suddenly Trisha Haubrich yelled out, "Hey she thinks you're cute and sexy," pointing to Smith. Overcome with humiliation, Smith slouched down in her seat and covered her head with her jacket. As the guys laughed and drove on, Smith poked her head out of her jacket and whispered," Are they gone yet?" "It was so embarrassing when Trisha started saying stuff to the guys about me," said Smith. Although Smith was embarrassed, she enjoyed every minute of her evening with friends. "The best part was it didn't cost anything," said Smith. "It shows I can have a good time without spending money and be with my friends." Like Smith, many students on a tight budget searched for cheap thrills. They found inexpensive good times cruising Broadway, watching movies with friends, or picnicing and walking around Con-Agra and the Old Market with dates. Enjoying an inexpensive meal, Angie Johnson and Danny Stock eat at the West Broadway Taco Bell. "We do ch eap stuff all the time," said Johnson. "One time we got blankets an d hot chocolate and sat at the top of the cemetary and looked at the stars and the city." (Photo by Pat Linehan) Teena Jacoby found a cheap thrill while watching six hours of movies with friends. "We started watching movies around 9 p.m. and it lasted until 3 a.m.," said Jacoby. "Since none of us had any money, we all just sat around and watched the sorriest of movies, like Faces of Death 3, and listened to music." Both Smith and Jacoby agreed that the people they were with were more important than the money they spent. "When you don't have money, there's always something new and exciting to do," said Jacoby. "I never know what's going to happen next with my friends" While Smith and Jacoby found cheap thrills with friends, Jason Van Every and his date Teena Juhl spent a romantic, inexpensive evening picnicing at ConAgra. "We had a picnic basket and we just sat on a blanket and ate," said Van Every. "After we ate, we walked hand and hand around the water and looked at the lights." Van Every found the evening fun and relaxing as well as cheap. "I was very jumpy all week because I had a lot of things going on," said Van Every. "Just walking around with Teena made me more relaxed." With friends or a date, many students created inexpensive good times. - Nicole Hansen Cheap Thrills ~ Unhappy with mainstream fashions/ students are reakino Away When Kathleen Delehant was in junior high school, getting ready for school often included slipping into a pair of Guess? jeans and a preppy sweater. As a high school senior, her wardrobe choices had changed to become Doc Marten boots, a leather biker jacket and assorted '60's clothes. "When I was in junior high, I dressed like everyone else because I wanted to fit in and be in the supposedly 'cool' clique," said Delehant. "My freshman year I realized I hated being trendy and wearing brand names. I started dressing how I wanted to because being in a clique didn't matter to me anymore." Delehant wasn't the only student who chose to wear unconventional fashions. Out of 100 students polled, 30 said they wore clothes that were considered different. Students chose alternative fashions for many reasons. "I choose clothes based on what fits with my unusual personality and what I think I will look good in," said Gere Nelson, who preferred baggy jeans and long flower-print or tie-dyed skirts. "I just never liked tight jeans or little striped shirts.that said 'Guess?' across them." Ben Lake said he began dressing in a style that included bell bottoms, combat boots, and concert tshirts because the style was popular at the school he used to attend. "There were a lot more people who dressed this way ~Student Life at my old school in California," said Lake. "There we had alternative clothing stores and nightclubs, where everyone who dressed this way hung out. There isn't really anything like that here, so people dressed in this style stand out and get teased. I think the trend will grow once people get used to it." Others stumbled across an alternative look by accident. "When I was on vacation in Colorado with my family, it was absolutely freezing so I started wearing my dad's flannel shirts," said Carrie Brookhart. "They were comfortable and warm, so I kept wearing them all the time, and now they're considered an alternative fashion." Whatever the reason for breaking away from the world of preppy brand names, students realized one thing: the importance of being themselves. "I've heard so many ridiculous stories and rumors about myself just because of the clothes I wear," said Delehant. "I've been called a witch, a druggie, and even satanic. It made me realize how closed minded some people can be, but it didn't stop me from being myself. I try to hang out with people who have an open mind and respect me for having one too. That's all that's really important." -Karen Barker I n some of their favorite clothes, Nikki Hartzell and Scott Adams talk by Hartzell's locker before class. (Photo by Amy Tilley) - ... '· Army fatigues, a "Sex Pistols" t-shirt, combat boots, and red and white striped tights--most people would never wear even one of these items, but for Eric Berner, this was just one of many unusual clothing combinations he wore regularly. "I've been dressing this way since sixth grade," he said. "It's just my own particular style." WhilesomeofBerner's wilder articles of clothing included a pair of green, red and white rayon bell bottoms and bizarre hats, some days he wore simple t-shirts and jeans. "I'll wear about anything," said Berner. "One day I'll dress as a total punk and the next day I'll come to school in a suit. It depends on my mood." Berner said he had no plans to stop dressing the way he did. "I'm always doing what feels right to me so I doubt I'll ever stop dressing like this," he said. "The clothes are a big part of who I am."

Into her car, she tossed a backpack full of homework she knew wouldn't be finished for the next day. Since she began working at Amigo's, Adams said she of ten neglected her homework or did it haphazardly. "My grade point average has dropped from 3.6 to 3.1 since I started working," she said. "I usually just cram my homework into the mornings before class or turn it in late." Like Adams, more than one-third of students polled said their job affected time they spent on school work. Although Adams didn't work late hours because she was only 15 years old, many students found their grades suffered because they worked late into the night. Almost 'SO percent of the students polled said they worked past 9:30 at least four times a week. Carrie Funkhauser often came to school late after working extra hours at Target for Christmas. "One night I didn't get off work until midnight," she said. "The next day I didn't get to school until about 11 because I was tired from working the night before." Whether or not they worked late, many students simply worked too much. Fifty percent of students polled worked between 20 C oncentrating, Kevin Daub sacks groceries at Rog & Scotty's. "I like working because of the other employees," said Daub, who worked four days a week. (Photo by Brian Anderson) and 40 hours a week. Shane Martin often worked 30 to 35 hours a week at Pizza Hut and stayed past two in the morning on many school nights. Although Martin often didn't finish his homework and arrived at school after nine many mornings, he said working affected his grades only slightly. "Since my grades have never been all that great," he said, "the only thing my job influences is the amount of time I spend on my homework each night, which is usually less than an hour." Yet, teachers maintained that students who worked 30 hours a week often got an inferior education, whether the student realized it or not. "I think working has a detrimental effect on students," said history instructor Mary Gepner. "They come to school too tired to concentrate, and when they have to make a decision between school and job, their schoolwork usually suffers." Lowering classroom standards was a result, according to math instructor Robert Pettepier. He said many teachers including himself lowered expectations so students could keep up. As a result of growing teacher concern, some local businesses had already cut back the hours teens could work. "We don't allow students to work past 10 p.m.," said Hy-Vee assistant manager Dean Stucky. "We feel they need that extra time to finish their school work." -Amy Haggstrom Jobs~ Fast food/ sweets send many into unhealthy eeding Frenzy If someone spent thousands of dollars to give you instuctions for living years . longer, you would probably follow their advice, right? Wrong! The government spent thousands of dollars to create and publicize a "food pyramid" to help Americans plan for healthy eating. Among the six food groups, health officials advised three to five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, as a way to guard against fat, heart disease, and even cancer. Despite warnings that even teenage eating habits would affect future body weight and health, most teens either didn't get the message or simply decided not to heed the warnings. "I'm concerned about my health and realize things I eat now will affect me later, but I don't change the way I eat," said Jade Anderson. "If I'm lucky, I get one serving of fruits and veggies a day, and even then, my mom has to make me eat it." Many students claimed they were just too busy to follow a healthy diet. "I don' t eat breakfast unless I have sports after school," said Shannon Rindone. "Then we stop at Burger King and grab a croissant. I don't have time otherwise. I get up at 5:45 and leave home at 6:15 for porn pan." While some students neglected meals to get to extracurricular activities, jobs kept others from getting three healthy meals a day. "I hardly ever eat dinner," said Diane Kalar. "I go to ~ Student Life work right after sixth hour and don't get home until 7:30. I'm usually super tired and have homework to do, and making dinner takes too much time." Fast food was an alternative that 46 percent of students polled turned to two to three times a week. Students' favorite fast food restaurants wereTaco Bell and Burger King. Even though salads were available at Buger King, only four students said they ever chose the mixture of fruits or vegetables. Busy schedules often provided excuses for not eating the right foods, but a nutritionally balanced lunch was available to every student in the cafe each day. Nevertheless, only about 500 students regularly bought a balanced meal, according to head cook Betty Franks. On the other hand, more than 240 students purchased cookies, about 100 bought ice cream, and nearly 95 students purchased just an order of french fries. "I love the french fries and cookies, said Allison Borman. "I don't like any of the main courses except pizza and I wake up so late, I don't have time to make lunch."

Later, Haggstrorn's parents told him and his sister they were getting a divorce. "It was a total shock. It's like I woke up and it was decided," said Haggstrom. "I didn't know what to do or think. I guess I took it out at school. I didn't do my school work and got into trouble all the time." Like Haggstrom, 35 out of 95 students polled had parents who are divorced. With divorce came a series of adjustments for most students. First, they had to adjust to living without one of their parents. When Arny Kramer's parents divorced, she was two years old, so she lived most of her life without her mother. Even at age 16, however, she was still adjusting to life with a single parent. "I'm the only girl in the house, so there is really no one else to t alk to," said Kramer, "so I talk to my friends when I have problems at school or with my boyfriend." Other students soon B y moving notebooks to another room, Andy D. Sorensen helps his mother, Carol So,rensen, clean. As the only male in his house, he often helped out. (Photo by Brian Anderson) learned that having just one parent meant a lot more responsibilities for children. "I've got to do all of the yard work and electrical work. I'm the fix-it guy," said Andy D. Sorensen. "I think being the man of the house has made me more responsible, but I still get ticked at my morn because she won't try to fix anything." The most difficult adjustment many children faced was the unwelcome addition of a stepparent to the family. "When I was nine years old, I was a real brat," said Carrie Cooper. "I wouldn't listen to my steprnorn at all. I felt like she was interfering in my life and she had no right to because I didn't want a second morn." But Cooper said she gradually grew up and worked out her problems with her stepmother. "My steprnorn and I worked into a routine where we made deals with each other to do stuff," said Cooper. "I basically became more mature. It's like we're friends now and we talk about everything together." Like Cooper, many teens in divorced families felt their experience had caused them to grow up a little faster than other students. "Since I don't live with my morn, it will be easier for me when I get married or move out on my own because I know how to manage a home," said Kramer. "All in all, I think everything has turned out all right, but I still don't think an yone should get di vorced." -Jennifer Kramer Fa il ~ After sudden resignation/ cast members move in ew Direction As the cast of Bye Bye Birdie went over music in the choir room, director Steven Brockway opened the door and interrupted them. ''I'd like to speak to the choreographers please," he said. Five people followed Brockway into the music library, expecting him to talk about dance numbers. Instead, he announced he was resigning from all extracurricular activities and couldn't direct the play. "Mr. Brockway told us he was resigning because of the administration, but he didn't elaborate on what the problems were," said Eric Potter. "I think the last straw was when he cancelled a Follies performance and Mr. Lake made him put it back on. I totally agree with Mr. Brockway's decision. I would have been gone a long time ago." Despite fears that the play would be cancelled, the problem was solved a week tudent Life later when Tee Jay drama instructor John Gibson agreed to direct the show. Gibson not only helped save the play, but he also gave students who had been involved in previous productions a chance to experience different directing styles. "They were both good directors, but they were very different," said Brian Collier, who had parts in Bye Bye Birdie and The Wizard of Oz, a children's theatre production directed by Brockway. "Mr. Brockway created excellent special effects for Wizard, while Mr. Gibson was good creating characters. I think both plays turned out well, but in different ways." The two directors also interpreted stories differently. "Mr. Gibson wanted everything in Bye Bye Birdie exactly like it was on Broadway," said Sonja Smith. "Mr. Brockway had his own style for Wizard. He wrote the script and songs and added a twist to the original story." -Karen Barker C rowded around a table, chorus members Tony Weddle, Bill Bos, Bryan Howland, J.D.

(Loving Individuals Giving Help Through Trust) program, the students learned leadership techniques so they could work with the elementary-aged cast of The W izard of Oz, a children's theatre production. "We were responsible for about five kids at every performance and rehearsal," said Jim Wood. "We watched over them and they'd come to us with problems. We helped by using what we learned at the workshop." Students found the techniques taught could be applied to other areas. "We learned how to praise people effectively and avoid put-downs," said Shelly DeWitt. "That could be used in a leadership position or friendship. The skills help every part of your life."

"Ryan went to the bathroom and I was sitting there alone at the table," said Hayes. "The waitress came up with this huge white cake with a candle in the center.

I think it's very possible; we've had professionals around Omaha tell us, 'You guys are very good, maybe even the best, at what you do.' I think we surprise ourselves with what we come up with." The Omaha Youth Philharmonic and Omaha Youth Symphony also offered students a chance to showcase their talents. In each symphony, approximately 60 metro high school musicians practiced together once a week and performed in concerts from September to March. "In Philharmonic, it's nice to show my abilities and play for a whole new variety of people in Omaha," said Anja Hochlan, who played the harp and percussion in Youth Philharmonic. "I've learned more musically and been inspired to play for more advanced symphonies in the future." Not all students had to perform to be stars.

When he looked around, he saw swarms of children like the girl begging for a few coins. "The children were covered with dirt," said Potter. "And even though it was cold, none of them had shoes.

"They drank the water straight out of the river and there were a lot of diseases. It really made me glad I didn't have to live there." When 27 members of the First Christian Church youth group built houses for the homeless in Tijuana, Mexico, they also experienced extreme poverty, and realized having money wasn' t as important as it seemed. "Before we went to Mexico, we thought some of the barest necessities of life were running water and electricity," said Kim Gift. "But the people down there have never had that, and they were really happy. We learned that we could survive without luxuries and still be happy. The Mexican people really taught us a lesson on life." Though the people had almost nothing, they were willing to give the youth group their very best, Amy Thatcher said. "We were outside cooking frozen meat on our Coleman stove and the flame wasn't hot enou gh to thaw it," said Thatcher. "This lady named Jovita let us into her house to ) use her stove. It really surprised us because we were to- - / tal strangers, and she let us in out of the kindness of her heart. You don't see that in the Sta tes."

I'd stay up all night just thinking about him," said Walton While some students turned to friends or solitude for help , Sara Barton turned to alcohol and drugs to deal w ith her mother's suicide. "My mom died of a drug overdose, and I started drinking becau se I wanted to keep her memory alive, and that was all I remember her doing," said Barton. "I didn't know she had committed su icide until three years later, and by that time, I was already drinking and smoking marijuana heavily. " After I found out she committed suicide, I got a lot worse, and finally got busted for public intoxication." As Barton's drugs and alcohol problem progressed, she became more like her mother. "I thought my mother committed suicide because she was an alcoholic and a very unhappy lady," she said . "I was on the same road. I just wanted to die so I cou ld be with my mom. Finally, I realized I hurt a lot of people and needed to get help. "I checked myself into a treatment center and learned ·:~ to handle problems without turning to alcohol.

"I've been in band, color guard, and this year I'm on AL Insider. I figured if I moved, I wouldn't have time to get involved in things out there." Even though Klever and Hayes had little contact with their parents, they didn't regret their decision to stay. "I don't regret it at all," said Klever. "It's hard and you really miss the little things, like your parents making your lunch. But if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change my decision." Although some students whose families moved were allowed to stay behind, some were forced to go with their family. Junior Jake Ainslie's father was offered a job in Ironwood, MI. Although Ainslie asked to stay in Council Bluffs, his parents felt it was best for him to stay with the family. "They wanted to keep the family together," said Ainslie. "They figured things would be just too hard with me down here and the rest of the family up there. Maybe if it was my senior year and I only had one year left, things would have worked out.

The assemblies were held after several incidents of harassment had been reported to the administration. The objective was to define what sexual harassment is and make students aware of its consequences. In a poll of 97 students, 78 said the assemblies were a good idea. "I think some kids didn't know how serious sexual harassment was until the assembly," said Trappett. "I think the discussions helped students realize how much it can hurt and that it canhappen to anyone, boy or girl." Other concerns were also voiced by students. "The assemblies really got people's emotions worked up, because we had never had the chance to tell how we felt about things like public display of affection and teachers going overboard reporting incidents that aren't really har~ss e:1t'." said Dan Paulson .

Although teens were bombarded with scary facts, they continued to engage in dangerous behavior that put them at risk of contracting the deadly disease. In an Echoes poll of 114 students, 65 percent said there was a high probability of contracting AIDS at AL. Yet, 71 percent said they were sexually active, and of those, only 57 percent said they always used protection. "The reason students are at high risk is simple," said Kevin Birusingh. "They have unprotected sex. Theyjustdon'twant to bother with the hassle of using protection." Others felt students w ere a t risk because using drugs and alchohol destroyed their ability to think clearly in dangerous situtations.

On March 20 teen violence seemed to cross the river into Council Bluffs when Chris De Wolf was run over after an altercation w ith another teen at a stop light. Four incidents is not something to give one cause for extreme concern," said Diimig. "My gut feeling is that schools here are not violent places. We've had nine expulsions this year and last, compared to none in the past, but that is due to changes in the hours later, he died at Saint Joseph Hospital. "It's sad that a simple fight had to end that way, especially to such a nice person," said Michelle McNeal. DeWolf's death was even more shocking because violence, for the most part, was not a factor in the life of Council Bluffs teens. Among the school system's 10,000 students, there had been only nine expulsions related to violence, as of April. One expulsion was for striking a staff m ember, another for starting a fire, and four for possession of a weapon.

The School Board had rewritten the Code of Conduct to include more expellable offenses. Three years ago, for example, threat of assualt was a suspendable act, but by 1993, it had become grounds for expulsion. Most students felt that even with the rise in violence across the nation, their school was a relatively safe place to be. "Most schools have students that come to school everyday with guns and weapons," said Amy Varner. "I thank God that I don't live in an area where I have to fear for my life everytirne I walk in the school." other three expulsions were due to a single ~L---------------' Despite a drastic rise in school violence nationwide, Council Bluffs officials maintained that the district was taking a strong, proactive approach to ensure student safety and keep violence out of the schools. weapon being passed among three students.

If parents only knew how many times a scene like this had occurred in their homes, they would be appalled. Out of 101 students polled only 24 had never sneaked out. Almost 90 percent of the students polled who had sneaked out said they did it because their parents didn't give them enough freedom. "My parents are too strict," said Daniel Bernholtz. "They never let me do anything. I feel stupid because I have to be in by the time my friends are just starting to have fun."

Do I love you? Yes!" This is just one of the many poems, riddles, and cards that Jane Lake has received from her husband, Principal Jim Lake, over the 25 years they've been married. "When I first saw her, I knew she was the one," said Lake. "It was then I realized I had to marry her. I couldn't let her get away." Though students may not have realized it, many hard-core educators were hopeless romantics. Imagine home economics instructor Nancy Tangeman and her husband, industrial arts instructor Vonnie Tangeman, 30 years ago. The now grandparents were then a young couple eloping to be together when their families didn't approve of their marriage. "My parents weren't in favor of our marriage, but we loved each other and we wanted to be together," said Mrs. Tangeman. "One Saturday in August he picked me up at home and we left for Lincoln, w here we began what ended up a 30-year marriage." Like the Tangemans, Coach Rick Wahl and TAG strategist Christine Wahl, who married in 1976, found it important to spice their marriage with romantic gestures on a regular basis. Coach Wahl said his wife did her part by preparing candlelight dinners after the kids went to bed. Mrs. Wahl said her husband was also a romantic, recalling her favorite surprise. "When we got married, he bought me a child's bracelet with a tennis racket on it," said Wahl. "Then on my 40th birthday, he surprised me with a diamond and sapphire bracelet.'.' Special dinners and gifts enhanced the romance in any marriage, but long lasting romance could exist only with true commitment. In substitute Sue Hauser and science instructor Joe Hauser's case, such commitment kept them together. "He's stuck by me through all the surgery and hospital bills," said Sue Hauser, who had battled cancer for 10 years. "He's really been the rock in our family. Without him, I don't know if we would have made it." Through loving poetry, special surprises, and lasting loyalty, some of AL' s faculty members proved romance was alive and well in their lives. -Sara Adams EARLY RISERS.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) Teacher Romance~ HORROR Illnesses, injuries prove faculty has its share of TOUGH BREAKS Instructor William Forsee lay in his driveway, writhing in pain. To keep from screaming, he put his wallet in his mouth and bit down as hard as he could. Seconds earlier when he had tried to kick his son's skateboard out of the way, it slipped out from under him and he flipped into the air, landing hard on his right leg. Forsee' s femur split lengthwise as the bone beneath it was thrust up through it. "I just lay on the garage floor as my son looked at me," said Forsee. "He felt so bad. That night when he got home, he broke his skateboard into little pieces and threw it away." During surgery two days later, Forsee had two screws placed in his knee, one in his hip, and pins were inserted to hold the femur together. Forsee lost five to six units of blood and was given eight units within the next 24 hours. After 10 days, Forsee left the hospital, but he didn't start teaching until Nov. 16, and he walked on crutches for the rest of the year. On Oct. 21, art instructor David Holmes was also injured while riding his motorcycle on Highway 6 when he swerved into a field to avoid a collision with a deer and a car. Five minutes later, a farmer found him knocked out. Holmes's injuries included a crushed right ankle, broken ribs, and a damaged right collar bone. GIFfWRAPPED.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) ~Teachers He should have returned to school after four to five weeks, but complications with his ankle healing properly kept him out for the rest of the school year. Forsee and Holmes were not the only teachers to have serious accidents. Instructor Stephen Brockway had neck surgery in early April to replace cartilage damaged from a bar falling on his neck eight years ago. A month later, Brockway was walking down the stairs at his home when he fell, hit his head on the railing, and caused the incision to come open. He didn't return for the rest of the year and wore a neck brace to prevent further damage. Principal Jim Lake was also absent after he injured his knee playing basketball. His surgery caused him to miss two days from work and he was on crutches for two weeks. Serious illnesses sent other faculty members to the hospital. Instructor Larry Brown had triple bypass surgery and was absent for seven weeks. Instructor Linda Patton had emergency surgery for an intestinal dysfunction and missed two and a half weeks. Assistant principal Fred Maher was hospitilized for 10 days due to clogged vessels. Finally, instructor Jim Sutherland was absent four weeks after abdominal surgery. The 1992-93 school year proved to be a difficult one for AL's faculty. Heather Neumann Two teachers die after battling disease Larry Harriman Industrial arts instructor Larry Harriman died March 21, 1993, after battling leukemia for three years. His death was shocking to students and teachers because just two days earlier, he was teaching and even talking with colleauges about new programs for next year. On Saturday, the cold he had been fighting turned into pneumonia because his immune system had been damaged by the leukemia. He died at Jennie Edmundson after being admitted hours earlier. The funeral was held March 24 at Meyer Funeral Home. "He was always happy and made everyone laugh," saidLarryHieb. "Healways helped everyone strive for an A." Arlan Johnson Arlan Johnson, English instructor, died Aug. 16, 1992 from an opportunisitc disease brought on b y the AIDS virus. In the last three years, Johnson had fought pneumonia, meningitis, kidney infection, and a broken hip. Along with a memorial at the West Center Chapel Aug. 20, teachers held a memorial Aug. 28 at school. "We lost a dedicated teacher," said Jacque Hall, lead English instr u ctor.

For a presentation on African leadership in instructor Mary Gepn er's world history class, Wennighoff pretended to be Zaire's president and was interviewed by Tim Owen and Joel Grondek. "Reading chapters and taking multiple choice tests gets boring," said Grondek. "Doing research and projects keeps you interested. It also teaches independence and fits more people's learning styles." Gepner's approach was typical of new methods of assessment. Driven by the belief that memorization isn't as important as understanding the material, many teachers focused on _!llaking a smaller amount of information more meaningful. This approach often included creative assignments and group work. One example of the "less is more" philosophy was the Block class, which combined science, English and social studies by having students study the same theme in all three disciplines for two or three p eriods every day. For example, for a unit on war, students reported on different types of weapons in science, watched the war movie "Glory" for the English requirement and researched various U.S. wars for social studies. "Block teachers always ask 'How does last hour's project relate to what we're doing now?"' said Jason Rogers. "It's neat to see how everything relates." Some math classes also required students to examine concepts in depth and work on projects. Students in instructor Ron Lakatos' Algebra 3-4 class worked on group projects to explain ways to graph equations. "Our group wrote a story about this girl who was bad in math, but got help from her friend," said Erica Warren. "We told how to graph by having her friend showing her how to graph. Graphing was easier to understand when we put explanations into our own words." By making a smaller amount of information more meaningful, many teachers demonstrated the interdependency of skills and concepts in the big picture. -Kelly Knudson ~ Academics Division Pointing to a roller coaster made of pipe cleaners, Shannon Flynn explains her poster to Stacy Ebling in instructor Rod Cameron's AP English class.

Excuses ounds of the Dallas Cowboys demolishing the Washington Redskins blared from the television as Scott Hamling crawled off his couch to go get a soda. On his way to the kitchen he noticed his calculus book in the corner and thought, "I'll do my homework on the next commercial break." But somehow the night slipped away and Hamling never did open his book. Like Hamling, many found some teachers made it easy for them to procrastinate. "My government teacher never checks homework so I never do assignments," said Danny VanBibber. "He always says it'll be due the next day, but it never is ." Even though some teachers checked homework regularly and didn't accept excuses, many students continued to procrastinate. For example, journalism instructor Linda Smoley said she lowered students' grades for each day assignments were late, but some still put off homework. "Mrs. Smoley's English class is my mo st challenging," said Sara Ogden. "I hate writing and always put it off. I keep giving excuses, but sooner or l a ter I end up doing it. Once I stayed up until two in the morning writing a paper that was past due. I got a D."

This touching scene was part of a video about the life of King A rthur created b y Joanna Schomer, Beth Tracy, and Angi Umbdenstock as an AP English project. The only actors appearing in the film were Barbie dolls. "After reading a stroy about King Arthur, we had to pretend he was running for president and d esig n a campaign," said Schomer. "The threeofuswanted to d o something clever and somehow we came up with the Barbie idea. We had so much fun! " More than ever, teachers were assigning homework that went beyond usual textbook work. Many students found such work helped get them interested in lessons taught. "I would have been really bored if we just had to read our story and do a report," Schomer said. "There's no excitement in that. I liked being able to choose something creative to do and then seeing what I could come up with." Others found that enjoyable h omework also helped them understand and remember the material. "In U.S .History we did a project for the presidential elections," said Jeff Marsh. "My group did political cartoons supporting Ross Perot. Even though I wasn't a Perot supporter, the project forced us to learn about the issues of the campaign and how they related to us. When we were done, I knew more about what was going on with the campaign.

While most students threw their books in their locker at the end of the day, some went beyond what was required, often taying up la te to do homework. Juhl was involved in Young Design, delivered papers after school, and spent several hours in knee therapy each week. Yet she pushed herself to do well enough in her classes to earn college scholarships. "I usually d o my homework at night so when I have a lot, I'm up until three," she said. "It's the easiest time for me to work because right after school I can't concentrate. Late at night, I don't have interrup tions." Some students even woke up well before d awn to make sure they could finish their homework. Sonja Smith was involved in cheerleading, gymnastics, and drama, but outstanding school work was still her first priority. "I can't stand not doing my homework, so I'll stay up until 11 p.m. to try and finish it. If I don't, then sometimes I get up at 4:30 in the morning," said Smith. Smith maintained a 4.0 GPA even though she carried eight classes and took a special geometry course at Iowa State University. Alth ough su ch students reaped the rewards of good grades and learning, they knew they sacrificed much that other students wouldn't. "I feel like a social outcast because school takes most of my free time," said Smith. "Instead of being with my friends and family, I'm home doing homework." -Jessie Blunk ook worm.

Her palms grew sweaty and her heart began to race. Like 31 of 100 studen ts polled, Daley tried to relieve her jitters by studying a little each day well ahead of the test. "Cramming makes me nervous," said Daley. "I fear blanking out, so I study by outlining the chapter and going over vocabulary. I spend a little bit of time each day for about a week before the test and then I study an hour the Lgj Academics night before. I'm still nervous, but I know the material." Rikayla Kachulis also worked hard to prepare for tests, developing her own study method. "I study for tests by quizzing myself," said Kachulis. "I read the chap ter and answer the questions. I'm not a good test taker and I've tried different methods of studying. One time I made a tape of vocabulary to listen to, but it didn't help me at all." Other students hated facing the pressure of tests and put off studying as long as possible. Thirtysix of 100 polled said they crammed the night before. "I cram for several hours the night before," saidJamie Hansen. "Sometimes I'm up until 10:30 or later. I put it off because I sometimes forget a bout the test or don't understand the material." However not all students studied as long as Hansen. Of 100 students polled, 55 said they studied for less than an hour. Bill Shipley, for example, often got good grades on tests just by paying attention in class. "I don' t get nervous before a test," said Shipley. " I just answer the questions I know and go back to the others. By then I usually remember the answers to the questions I left blank." -Heather Neumann avin• a ball.

Wouldn't you want help from the gove rnment too?" asked Mindy Workman. "Yes, but we just don't think people should take advantage of the welfare system," returned Laura Sumpter, defending her welfare reform bill. The argument took place in AP Government class, where students studied how a bill becomes a law and wrote and debated their proposed bills as part of "authentic assessment." After studying for three years how to assess students more meaningfully, many teachers began using authentic assessment, a way of evaluating what students could do with their knowledge in real world situations. Authentic assessment was used often in the new block class. The students held a simulation of a city council meeting in which they had to decide how to dispose of the community's waste. Students were assigned roles such as a garbage collector or a city council member and had to do background research about the views each community member would likely have. "I was a city council member," said Jason Rogers. "I didn't know how a city council member acts, so I called a couple of council members," said Rogers. "They told me to keep an open mind and listen to both sides. " But despite the faculty's attempt to assess students in realworld situations, many students continued to prefer more artificial assessments such as tests. "I like multiple choice tests," said Carole Schneider. " All of the possible answers are right there and you can guess." Yet, some students were beginning to appreciate digging more deeply into material. "When I do presentations, I have to do a lot of research," said Rogers. "I get more interested because I discover things I never knew about." -Jennifer Kramer Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. II From the usual truefalse to new assessment, everyone faces ...

In the looking E!las azing lovingly into one another's eyes, Chrissy Clopine and Wendi Hansen strolled hand in hand through Crossroads Mall trying to ignore the dirty looks and rude whispers that surrounded them. As part of a roleplaying project on prejudice in instructor Larry Brown's block class, students learned through first hand experience how homosexuals were treated by society. Many students' points of view changed once they found out what it was actually like. "I used to be very prejudiced against gay people," said Cl opine. "I didn't want to be around gays and I used to make fun of them, but not anymore. When Wendi and I went into stores and people wouldn't wait on us and they'd whisper and stare, I realized how awfulit feels to be different. Now I accept gays for who they are, and I would never treat them like aliens." More often,teachers used role playing techniques to let sh1dents experience life in a way they would never get a chance tootherwise. In instructor Bill Willard's Understanding People class, many students learned what being a teen parent would be like. Students had to carry baby dolls around for a week and budget their money using information they received in packets about finances of typical teenage parents. "At first I just thought about how a baby would affect my future," said Mimi Plummer. "Now I know I never want to be a teenage parent. A baby would make my life ten times harder, especially with all the extra expenses. Ididn'thaveanyspendingmoney, I had a scummy place to live in, and I needed to budget money that I didn't even have to start with." Roleplaying taught students how to appreciate life through a different point of view. -Stephanie Hollins hat a beautiful babY.

"Then I realized I could use the skills I learned from this class to repair things around the house. For example, I can put in a window without hiring someone since I learned how to do it from a house construction project in class. Fixing things on my own can really save money." Even though Jason Gutzmer didn't plan to build his own home, he realized the knowledge he gained in drafting could someday help him save money anyway. "If I have a contractor come build my house, I'll know what to expect," said Gutzmer. "I'll know how to describe to him what I want. If he makes a mistake and I catch him before it's too late, I can save money by not having to pay for the mistake." Although many students took practical arts courses for fun, they discovered there was a use for them in situations outside of school. -Christine Lam ookina for a fix.

Discoveries ater rushed by the Missouri's banks as Environmental s students awkwardly stretched 12-foot poles into the river. A two liter bottle at the end of each pole collected water samples. "We went to the river to see how polluted it was," said Tony Weddle. "My group had to see how organisms survive in different temperatures." Students found going to the river an effective handson experience that reinforced what they learned in class. "If someone had simply told me the contents of the Missouri River, I probably wouldn't remember," said Jennifer Barker, "but since I did the experiment, I know that the phosphate levels were low like they should be. I was surprised because I expected the river to be really polluted. " Hands-on learning also took place back at school. In a sophomore biology class, for example, students used puzzle like pieces ,of paper to understand how amino acids form proteins. "When I read the chapter, I didn't understand the concepts," said Jennifer Collinson, ''but when I tried to put the puzzle pieces together, I suddenly realized that hydrogen and oxygen must be taken away to form proteins." More than ever before, teachers turned to handson experiences to help students better understand the concepts they had read or been told about. -Jennifer Kramer Learning through experience ~ ''O oh, what smells so rotten stinkin' awful?"

Fearing he won't be able to stop in time, he blows the horn furiously, but it's no use. The train crashes through the bus and rips it apart. Paul Konz, a guest speaker on train safety, talked about this situation and others like it to driver's education classes. He described accidents and showed photographs of what was left of cars after trains smashed them to bits. "His pictures were very effective," said Jeff Kalar. "He made me think one of these accidents could happen to me because they really happened to someone else." During the year, 90 guest speakers talked about a variety of topics from CPR and drugs to peer pressure and gang problems. The most memorable speaker was probably artistin-residence Nancy Duncan, who stayed for a week to share her storytelling ablitywith English classes. One of her methods was to have students tell a story. After the class got into groups, they each selected a nursery rhyme from which to create a story and then presented it to the class. "Our group acted out Little Boy Blue," said Jeni Randolf. "In our story, the sheep get angry at Little Boy Blue because he doesn't take care of them. I was a sheep, and I was able to act out the part by imagining this really happened. I learned a lot about acting and I'm interested in it now."

"I did a poll and found that 33 out of 70 students have divorced parents, and 28 of the 33 have stepparents. I wanted to show that it's not just a national problem, but it's important to kids at AL." When the research was completed, some projects went beyond writing. A few students tried making a video, creating a brochure, or even composing music. "For my senior English project, we got to choose whether to write a paper or do something creative," said Beth Tracy. "I decided to write a 12- tone scale on my flute. I used my flute teacher as a source and studied music theories."

"In my algebra class we had to figure out six ways to find a graphing point," said Stephanie Spratt. "I had to find out how to do a specific problem on my own, then make the class understand. When I was done and I saw that everyone understood whatlhad explained, it was kind of neat to think that I taught them how to do the problem." Language arts and history students also found themselves facing their classmates as teachers. "In my English class we had to bring three symbolic items that described our personalities," said Brian Collier. "It was a learning experience because my classmates learned about me and I learned more abou t them. It helped me to be more at ease the next time I had to speak in front of a group of people." Some students felt their classmates occasionally did an even better job conveying information than the teacher. "In one of my classes, my teacher just reads notes for us to copy down," said Jessie Morris. "When teachers give lectures and read from the book or make the class take notes, you sometimes just block it out. But when a student gives a creative report, it makes it easier to absorb the information." Unlike Morris, most students polled said they learned more from their teachers than from peers, so the greatest benefit from student teaching experiences was the in-depth learning the presenters themselves experienced. -Sara Adams halk talk.

"Just a few discussions opened myeyes,andlbecamemoreaware of world situations. After hearing more than one side of the story on issues like the death penalty, I've formed my own opinions."

The class looked on in disbelief as Johnson's tall, lean body flashed by clad only in his skin tight long- johns. "It took me a while to figure out what he was doing," said Carrie Cooper. "When I remembered the attention grabber, all I could do was laugh." For class clown Rhonda Fanning using more than her fair share of guts meant faking heart problems in class. "I have an ongoing story that when I was three I had a heart transplant," said Fanning. "If I get bored, I'll fake a breathing attack to get attention. People console me and askmeabout growingupwith heart problems, while others around me are laughing." Through their willingness to take a risk, class clowns made their classes less boring by filling them with laughter. -Nicole Hansen ixed UP.

"By listening to sounds in the hallways, we got ideas for stories," said Carrie Brookhart. "There was a guy who couldn't open his locker, and he was hitting it and yelling. That gave me a story idea about a little mischievous monster in the boy's locker holding it shut." Games such as the hunt for sounds provided students with excitement not normally found in day today classroom lectures . French students played a game called Dunce of the Day. Three people from the room went up to the chalk board and waited for instructor Gayle Koerber to give a vocabulary word. The first person to write the word correctly sat down and the next person replaced him or her. The game continued all the way around the room until there were only three people left at the board. Thelastpersonleft was the dunce of the day. "Dunce of the Day is a really fun and different way of learning," said Nate Lovstad. "On a test you're able to think back to the game and remember the information." Sara Borman agreed that learning games helped her remember important information. "In Mr. Devault's U.S. History class, if someone gives a wrong answer during a Jeopardy game, I can remember it while taking my test," said Borman. "I am then able to use that to help me think of the correct answer." Through classroom games, students found an enjoyable way to learn. -Heather Binns Egyptians for 20 points please ... ,, ..

When the same poll w s conducted in February, 1 c:.kipped more than once a week. One reason for this may have been lighter penalties imposed on skippers. In the past, skippers received a day of in-school suspension. However, starting Nov. 25, in-house was replaced with half-hour detentions. Another reason may have been that some teachers did not impose any penalties at all. "Once I skipped first hour for a week because I slept in," said Marlene Smith. "My teacher never said anything to me for missing all of those days and I didn't get into any trouble at all. I've never had a single detention, and I skip all the ti1ne." Finally, many said skipping was possible because it was so easy to leave the building without being caught. "There have been times when I've gone out to lunch, walked right past Tex, and wasn't even questioned about what I was doing," said Amy Thatcher.

But student government members Mary Ryan, Sarah Weber and Rhonda Fanning were hard at work, slowly piecing together pictures of clocks to decorate the Homecoming dance. "Making decorations gets boring, so we turned it into a social thing," said Ryan. "It helped because if you have friends there, they'll make it fun." National Honor Society members made induction March 25 more entertaining while waiting backstage. "We were waiting to escort the inductees onstage and Kregg Clemens ran and jumped off the stairs and touched the ceiling," said Sam Johnson. "I ran and jumped too, but I had on hard-soled shoes. When I landed, I made tons of noise and the inductees all started laughing." While student government or NHS members tried to make time spent on their activities fun, other organization members had interesting adventures by accident. For Odyssey of the Mind members, preparing for the regional and state tournaments offered surprises. "We had to build a crank-powered car," said Lane Knauss. "Every time Ru vane Kurland would walk by the car, I swear he would break something. One time we told him not to sit in it. He jumped in anyway and broke the whole propulsion system!" Not all mishaps could be easily repaired, as AL Insider staffers discovered when they filmed show #13 at the Henry Doorly Zoo. "Right after we got there, someone set the camera on the tripod by a little stream," said Deann Klever. "I looked over and saw the camera falling over into the water! It hit the rocks and part of the camera fell into a grate. Some people tried to fish that little piece out. Ryan Heuwinkel' s shirt was totally wet. Mrs. Grandick told the zoo authorities, but we never got the piece back."

"It was embarrassing dancing at the mall because people from school were there to watch," said Mollee VanNordstrand. "I was glad that some of the other members were there to do it with me." The girls were then told to do kicks on the viaduct on North Broadway, beg for cookies at Hy-Vee, and go on a scavenger hunt. "I've never been initiated before," said Shannon Benna. "Everyone says how scary it is to be a new person and get initiated, but I think initiation is the best part of the organization because it draws everyone closer together. "Before initiation I really didn't feel like part of the group, but afterwards I felt a bond between myself and the other members." '' C ongratulations! You made it!"

They finally ended up at McClary's house for breakfast. "They gave us a menu filled with about 20 numbers," said Shannon Black. "Each number represented a different food, utensil, or drink. We picked three numbers in three turns. One time I ended up with jelly, a knife, and water. I thought that was the funnest part."

As she w atched them wrap the toys from student government's toy drive, she thought of how many children would be made happy Christmas morning. "It was a great feeling for me," said Clifton. "I love helping people, and the toy drive made me feel important." Every second hour class was responsible for the gifts of a specific boy or girl. A class representative was responsible for purchasing the presents for the child with the money collected from the class. "Our class chose action figures and a few board games for our boy," said Skylar Hunt. "Wethoughtnewtoyswouldmake the children feel more important, but some classmates donated some good used toys." Although the toy drive was a success, Clifton said it could have been better if it had been made even more personal. "All we knew about our child was their sex and their age," she said. "If we had gotten to know the kids better, more people would have felt the urge to give." Robin Shepard watched with pleased fascination as a dozen 9 and 10-year old Bloomer students ran haphazardly around the classroom looking for the object that she had called out in German. Nine German students split into groups and went to Bloomer to participate in International Day, when they gave youngsters a taste of the language. "We had a week to prepare for the day, and in that time we had to make a teaching schedule for the kids, plus get all the su pplies ready," said Shepard . "We had first and second grades in the morning, and fourth through fifth in the afternoon. I liked the older kids better because they understood better, so they were more fun." Landon Knauss had another opinion. "I enjoyed being with the younger kids, even though when you first walk in they look at you like you're stupid," said Knauss. "The older kids are vicious because they've reached the cocky age, but with the younger kids, once we started playing games and passing out candy, they were a blast to be with." -Maria Shriver As sweat pours down their faces, Sarah Weber and Shauna Hale plant flowers in the main courtyard May 27.

Amidst the moans and whimpers, the music started and the girls wearily lifted their flags and began to practice their routine. Along with Saturday practices, the winter guard held practices in the mornings and on Tuesday and Thursday nights to prepare for contests. "We practiced almost 30 hours a month for two or three months before our first competition," said Danielle Norgard. "It paid off when we got a Division 1 rating at State and we got Best in Class and Best Choreography at the Marching Auxiliaries of America competition. We were really happy because we met the goals we set at the beginning of the season." Though their dedication paid off, members agreed it was sometimes hard to keep a positive attitude.

They had only one mission, to win first place at the upcoming UNO Jazz Festival. "We really wanted to be good so we could beat the people we were up against," said Justin Wood. "We kind of have a rivalry with some of the other jazz bands." Being good enough to win the contest took many hours of extra effort. Jazz band members practiced every Tuesday night and often came to school early to practice an extra hour. "We have a professional come in Tuesday nights to help us play the songs with the right style," said Wood. "We perform three songs for contest, and it takes us about a week to learn each song. I practice at least an hour every night because I'm a soloist. I guess I'm majorly self-motivated."

"We were late as usual meeting our deadline," said Angeroth. "Then the computer malfunctioned and couldn't print the type we needed, so we ended up cutting up our nameplates from past issues and gluing the letters together." Although Angeroth and the other Echoes editors met everyday fourth and fifth hours, they still spent an average of 30 hours extra time on the newspaper each month. Yet the editors said it was well worth their effort. "Designing for the paper cuts into my time to be with the my parents and girlfriend," said Angeroth, "but it is one of the biggest learning experiences of my life." For feature editor Gina Malloy, working late nights and after-school was most rewarding on the day the Echoes returned from the printer. "It's very satisfying to see my story when the paper comes out," said Malloy. "It's exciting when my friends and others say, 'I read your story and I liked it."' Echoes staffers knew their hard work paid off when they won a National Pacemaker Award for the 1991-92 issues given to only nine schools in the nation by the National Scholastic Press Association.

After school I bought decorations for the car rally and grabbed a bite to eat. Then I made sure everything was set up at the stadium so we could perform. After the game, I went to the yearbook signing party. When I got home I was exhausted!" With the early mornings and long days, porn pon members had only one regret. "The one regret I have," said Scott, "is not being able to go to a home game just to watch the game without having to set up music or deal with a sound system." -Nicole Hansen F OCUS PLEASE!

"After a long day of attending sessions, we planned to go out, but there was a big football game in town and all the restaurants were packed, so we were trapped in the hotel. "As an unusual way to get to know the other people at the convention, we gave them flowers and told them we were from Iowa. Some guys sat down and talked to us because they had never met anyone from Iowa before." Besides meeting new people, staffers listened to an editorialist who won the Pulitzer prize for her series on battered women, and Bob Greene, a nationally known columnist.

The gates opened and two knights, one dressed in red and the other in red and yellow, came charging toward each other on horses. Armed with swords and shields, they tried to knock each other to the ground. With one final stroke of his sword, the red and yellow knight succeeded, and the red knight stood helpless in the arena. All of a sudden, a knight in black and white came charging and continued the battle. After 10 minutes, the red and yellow knight was finally killed. This is what concert choir students witnessed while attending Medieval Times in Chicago. "The building Medieval Times was held in looked like a castle," said Emilee Applegate.

During the yearbook staff's annual get acquainted party at Pizza King, staffers played The Never Game. Participants sat on chairs in a circle and the person in the middle said something he or she had never done. Those who had done it got up and ran around to look for an empty seat. The person who couldn't find a seat was the next person to be in the middle. "When one of the guys got up and said he had never worn a bra before, I got up too because I didn't know what was going on," said Brian Kruse. "I ended up stuck in the middle." Amidst the chaos, the staffers grew closer. "I learned so much about the people I was going to be working with," new staffer Jennifer Kramer said. "It was fun getting to know their personalities and whether they were reserved or outgoing." "G eneric Valentine #16," read a card Mindy Romans Teceived from Landon Knauss.

"A week before the party Mrs. Grandi ck gave us all paper bags and told us to decorate them like we did back in grade school ,"' said Ben Chase. "When we had our party, we hung them around the room and went around dropping Valentines and candy into each one." The Insider staff decided to have a traditional Valentine's party that took them back to their elementary years because plans for a Christmas party fell through. "We felt like we were all back in sixth grade," said Romans. "It was totally a blast from the past. It was different from any other party and it was that fun that some of us were able to do this our senior year." -Heather Binns fJPEN WIDE T'S MINE!

Work, hardly! We practically had to rewrite the whole story." Wright grabbed Johnson by the arm and made him listen while she re-interviewed his sources. They worked together for two hours to complete the story that Friday night. "I didn't really want to stay and help him," she said, ''but that was my responsibility as an editor.

Little Closer Some club members have little in common, but working together outside of class creates strong bonds / magine 50 rowdy teenagers _throwing pizza and ice at each other, bangmg on the windows, and playing frisbee with plates. This wasn't a cafeteria food fight or a wild party. This was the marching band's traditional trip to Godfather's after home football games. "When we were freshmen, the seniors always went to Godfather's after the football games," said Brian Butts. "So we decided to keep up the tradition. We get pretty wild there, but we all have a good tirne." Marching band members found that spending many hours together helped them become closer. "We have to sit together at football and basketball games for pep band and we have class together, " said Carrie Brookhart. "So we get to be really good friends." The musicians' closeness was essential for competitions. "The marching band is a team, so we have to be close just like the basketball or wrestling teams," said Angel Walker. "Some of us don't have a lot in common outside of band, but we all work together because we all want to win at competition." After winning her third round at the Papillion speech and debate tournament, Jessie Morris walked out of the room and nervously waited for the results of the tournament. When the top three winners were announced, she tried to hide her disappointment when it was her best friend instead of her who received the first place trophy. "I won all of my rounds so I was really hoping. to win first place," Morris said. "When I found out I got seventh instead of first, I tried to act happy for my friend, but everyone could see my disappointment because they came up to me and said it didn' t matter how I placed as long as I did my best. That made me feel a lot better." Such support drew many speech and debate members closer together. "Tournaments are really stressful," said Jenifer Steger, "and when you' re stressed, you let another side of your personality show. People in speech and debate are there to see that side of my personality, s I don't have to put up an act for them because they know me for who I am. I've become really good friends with some of those people and I'll probably be close with them for the rest of my life." -Kim Gift SAYING GOODBYE FALA LA Shedding tears after porn pon's a~t dance, Melissa Winn hugs Angie Johnson while Mollee VanNordstrand watches.

Insider retreat had only a few hours left, and a discouraged Dan Deroos fervently hoped that the fish would start biting. Along with six others, he had taken a late night fishing trip to make the retreat even more memorable. "It was really neat," Deroos said. "The weather was cooling down, but the water was still warm, so there was all this steam rolling off the lake. It was eerie." The group didn't catch anything, bu~ those quiet moments helped build friendships between the new staffers. In fact, building relationships was a main accomplishment of the retreat. "We had a tent pitching contest and hide and go seek in the forest, but I had a lot of fun playing this game of trust," Carrie Spann said. "All of us stood in a line and threw people up in the air and over. It took a lot of trust because if we didn't catch each other, we'd fall." Additional activities consisted of a workshop teaching staffers how to use video cameras and set up interviews. People also climbed trees and enjoyed the classic campfire ghost story. Whether laughing or fishing together under the glow of a full moon, Insider staffers found that getting to know each other was fun. iillee and cki 's ·aw er As the warm glow of the campfire reflected in the eyes of the freshman cheerleaders, they huddled close together and whisp'ered in each others' ears. Meggan Jensen leaned over and whispered to Arny Schaben, "You're always funny and cheerful, and you bring a bright side to the cheerleading squad." As tears formed in her eyes, Schaben turned to the girl next to her and continued the chain. This game was one of the many activities designed to bring cheerleaders closer together atthe NCA camp at Lake Okoboji. "After campfire games, the whole freshman squad was a lot closer," said Kate Gronstal. "It's like w e're sisters and the feeling is really neat." With the entire camp geared toward bringing the girls closer, cheerleaders found it hard not to become friends. "We cheered together, talked together, and even bunked together," said Dana Drennen. "We were always together!" The camp experience even helped many girls overcome their shyness. "I can talk to people better than I ever used to be able to,'' said Melanee Day. "I used to be really shy, and I guess I still am a little, but I'm definitely over the worst of it." -Maria Shriver To help Jen Stoner finish her clown mak eup, Gere Nelson puts lipstick Stoner's cheeks.

With 230 community members attending the concert, titled Mardi Gras, the band earned $1000. "The band dinner concert was more fun than selling things because we got to decorate the gym and windows," said Jim Wood. "Plus we got to show off the band as we made money." Although the concert was profitable, it required a larger investment of time and money than past fundraisers. Band members rented tuxes, tables, dishes, and lighting and sound equipment. Concert band, both jazz bands, and a guest band supplied the music. The only thing band members didn' t do was prepare the three-course meal catered by Hy-Vee, which included crabmea t salad and tenderloin steak. -Jacki Hayes As Diane Kalar stood in the doorway of the gym and looked at the bright multicolored streamers that draped to the center and surrounded a huge star pinata, a feeling of accomplislunent came over her. But by the middle of the Christmas dance, Kalar and other foreign exchange members could feel nothing but disappointment. "I felt like all our work was wasted," said Heather Binns. "No one came to see how pretty the dance turned out." Sponsors Linda Patton and Gail Koerber came up with the theme "Fiesta" even though it wasn't traditional. "At first we were skeptical," said Jenifer Steger. "But as we worked with the theme more, we found we could use flowers and sombreros for a really pretty effect. Yet students seemed to boycott a non traditional Christmas theme."

Fifteen minutes and four sheets of wrapping pa per later, the troll was transformed into a blob of red paper with a white bow on top.

"W·e wereshocked when that guy came up and asked us to wrap this huge troll," Applegate said. "It was so ironic because earlier he walked by and Dan said, 'Holy cow, how would you like to wrap that sucker?' Then, an hour later, he came back carting that troll around in a stroller and asked us to wrap it! "But the worst part was, he bought the troll for his daughter's birthday and she was standing right next to him, and he still made us go through all that trouble!" Despite their struggle to wrap oddshaped gifts, most students agreed the fundraiser was worth their effort.

"Hi, I'm from DECA," Hansen said, "and we're raising money to help send five people to Orlando for Nationals at the end of Apirl. Would you like to donate an egg?" With a puzzled expression, the stranger listened as Hansen explained the fate of the egg. To ease the expenses of DECA National qualifiers, DECA members went around town borrowing eggs from one house and selling them at the next. "Most of the time, people didn't buy the egg, they just gave us donations" said Hansen. "But the people who did buy eggs gave us between 25 cents and $10 for each egg. Our group raised over $100 by ourselves, and altogether the club made over $600 in just one night!" Though selling eggs seemed out of the ordinary, DECA members agreed it was a quick and successful method of raising money. -Kim Gift RAPPIN' PAPER SuGAR BABIES Tired of wrapping presents, Diane Withsticky hands,EnvironmentalClub Kalar and Jenny Petersen finish the members Carrie Funkhauser, Rhonda last packages at Mall of the Bluffs.

Accused of beating a woman, Morris tried to convince the judge that she hadn't done anything on purpose. At mock trial district competition, Morris played the role of Terri Smith, a racist accused of committing a hate crime against an Afro-American. "I was trying really hard to get the judge to believe me," said Morris. "I looked at the victim when I spoke to make it seem like I was really apologetic." Just as Morris tried to prove her innocence, victim Jenny Scott tried equally hard to make Morris look guilty. "My character was jumped in the commons area of her college and accused Morris of the beating because of the trouble she'd had with her in the past," said Scott. "I tried to show the judge that I was emotionally scarred and bruised." Through such convincing performances, the seven-member mock trial team won a first place at district competition and advanced to State. -Sara Adams F1NETUNED Nervously, Keri McKeeman practices before solo and small ensemble competitionatTeeJay.

Chase and four other students went to Epcott while attending DECA Nationals. "When I won at State, I was so excited," said Chase, the only junior from AL to go to Nationals after placing first at State. "I couldn't believe I won when they announced my name." At Nationals, Chase had to play the role of an editor explaining to a new employee the importance of his store's inhouse publication. Chase was judged on attitude, hand gestures, and ability to make his character convincing. Ten thousand people attended the nationwide competition held in the Orlando Convention Center. Chase said the crowd didn't make him nervous. "I met people from Texas, California, and even Guam," said Chase. "I think that was the neatest part of the whole trip." Although Chase did not make it to finals, he said he would never forget his experience in Orlando. -Heather Neumann USIC MADNESS With resounding voices, Jim Killion, Jason Rogers, Grant Muehlig, and Chris King perform a baritone feature in "Morning Trumpet" at the spring choir concert May 27.

For 10 students, odyssey came to mean a journey through the mind with destinations being the creative thoughts and solutions to problems encountered along the way. One day at regional Odyssey of the Mind competition, five team members anxiously waited their turn to run to a long table cluttered with odd objects from paper clips to tennis balls. First, Shannan Brooks dashed across the room to the table, grabbed a piece of string, and told the judge it could be used as dental floss. She then ran back to her teammates on the other side of the room, and Joel Grondek took off. "I ran up to the table and chose a piece of string and a ball with holes through it," said Grondek. "I put them together and said it could be a necklace." The five members of the team took turns, racing to the table about 20 times each in a three-minute period, with only seconds between turns to figure out their next answer. In this relay for creative thinkers, called spontaneous competition, the team won first place. -Sara Adams and Stephanie Hollins MARCH 1,2,3 ...

"I wasn't expecting to do that well," said Danburg. "During the race, I felt tired; I didn't feel good at all. But when I heard my time, I was excited; we were all jumping up and down." Besides going under one minute in the 100 backstroke, Danburg held the school and pool records in the 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, 200 IM and 100 backstroke. Athletes often stole the show w ith their acheivements. For the second time in three years, the volleyball team went to State. Even though the girls lost 1-3 to secondranked Knoxville, they won the first game an AL team has ever won at State. At Metro, four freshman runners placed fourth in the 4x800 relay, earning them an interview on Channel 7 and the name the "Fab Four." "When we got interviewed, it felt like we were stars, like we were in the Olympics," said Jessie Drake. "They asked what it felt like to be freshmen competing with upperclassmen; we said it felt really good and that we thought we'd do well when we were upperclassmen. Everyone was really su p portive and excited." The "Fab Fou r" weren't the only freshmen who stole the show. An eighth place finish at Districts allowed cross country runner Jason Steger to advance to State competition Oct. 31. He was the only Lynx runner to make State. Whether breaking record s, participating in state tournaments or receiving special attention, AL athletes stole the show again and again. -Kelly Knudson ~ Sports Division Llr-~~w~ In preparation for the state track meet, Tracy Thomas goes over the hurdles.

Feilen was moved to varsity because Coach Dave Brown was impressed with her talent form the first time he saw her play. "I was pleased watching her scri1runage during open gym in the fall," said Brown. "She looked confident with her passing and shooting, and I was looking for that in my girls this year."

Lr:tJ Sports • Cuts -n- bruises After breaking his hand in practice, second place state finalist D.J. Walton found himself doing a lot more watching and wishing than wrestling. While Walton was injured, he passed the time away lifting weights to stay in shape and encouraging others to do their best. "It happened at the wrong time," said Walton. "It was my senior year and I wanted it to be my best. When I came back, I babied my hand more than I should have. Instead I should have decided if I wanted to wrestle and feel the pain or just not wrestle. I think I would have placed first at State if it weren't for the injury." Walton was nottheonly wrestler to sit out with injuries. The team battled seven injuries and illnesses of key people throughout the season. With a torn ligament in his left knee, Bill Waugh sat out for two weeks. "It hurt me more to sit out and watch than to wrestle and lose," said Waugh. "At least you know you tried instead of feeling like you didn't participate at all." Sickness also plagued wrestlers. Kevin Adkins, who went to State in '92, sat out for five weeks after his appendix ruptured. "I couldn't do anything," said Adkins. "I got so out of shape when everyone else in my weight class got more in shape." Although many names made the injured list, the team still finished the season with a 9-1 record. • Special guy Lying helplessly on the mat pinned under Coach Clark Allen, Kevin Birusingh struggled to regain the advantage. "I wrestled with Coach Allen the whole year just for the experience," said Birusingh. "Even though he beat the crap outta me, he really helped me a lot." Getting into the practices was only one reason Allen won the Southwest Iowa Coach of the Year award. Allen was respected by many of the wrestlers. "Coach Allen taught me everything I know about wrestling," said Richard Anderson. "I have a lot of respect for him and he's been here for me throughout my , whole wrestling career."

The team's attitudes changed when Batten and assistant coach Don Schwartz hopped on the bus carrying the first place trophy. "Hey, listen up, everybody," said Schwartz. "Go thank Treynor for running your victory lap for you. You won!" "Everybody was really upset because we thought we lost by just a couple Qf pionts," said Gina Malloy, ''but when the coach said that coming in first in the 4x400 relay, which was the last race, gave us enough points to win the meet, we went ecstatic, hugging and congratulating each other."

Coach Batten told me I should work over the winter to get used to the hurdles so I practiced twice a week with foam hurdles." To become the only Lady Lynx to make it to State, Thomas had to overcome bronchitis and shin splints as well as fear. "At the beginning of the season we had to run streets, which caused my shin splints," she said. Before every race I iced them until they were numb, and after running, I iced them again." After the first meet, Thomas came down with bronchitis. "It was frustrating knowing I had worked so hard and State was within my reach, " she said, "but I couldn't go after it because I couldn't practice for a month. All I could do was ride the bike to keep the strength in my legs." Nevertheless, after three weeks of grueling workouts to make up for the time lost, Thomas placed first at Districts and was fourteenth at State. -Nicole Hansen + AIRBORNE.

Hughes' s loss of concentration on the remaining holes cost her a ticket to State. "I wanted to go to State really badly," she said, "especially this year because the team has improved so much." Hughes said the third and fourth seed averaged about 110 last year, while the leader scored in the 90' s, but the team improved by 15 strokes this season. Improvement was obvious as the team amassed a 6-1 record and first places in the city tournament and Sectionals. -Christine Lam Matt Birdsong, Bri an Reisz, Donny Kramer, Danny Van Bibber, John Hargrave, John Akers. + PAR-FECTIONISTS.

But the girls' attitude changed when officials began to give out the annual Metro awards before the matches started. To the girls' surprise, a new award was given to seniors or returning Metro players with a G.P.A. of a 3.5 or better. The five out of six Lady Lynx players who received the award included seniors Mindy Stone, Jenny Scott, Amy Thatcher, and Beth Linberg, and sophomore Shaimon Brooks. Although the sixth girl, Jessie Morris, had a 4.0, she was not a returning Metro player so she wasn't eligble for the award. AL was the only team to have five players receive the academic award. "We didn't play as well as the other Metro teams, but at least we were the smartest," said Scott. -Amy Springer BOYS' AND GIRLS' TENNIS.

The team was just about to go into a tie breaking shoot-out. "The cheer is our tradition," said Amy Tilley. "There is a lot of pressure during a shoot out, and it just helps us all get our minds off being nervous." The players took their positions, hoping for victory in the first game against Bellevue West. ''We were all scared," said Carrie Spann. "A shoot out is nerveracking. Everyone gets all quiet on the sideline and prays." After two out of three Lynx made their shot, Trisha Gibler stepped up to shoot for the winning goal. She gave the signal, shot, and missed, but the Bellevue West goalie got penalized for moving too soon, giving Giibler another chance. "Fate had given me a second try," said Gibler. "I had no doubt that I'd make it then." After the ball dropped into the net, the Lynx rushed onto the field screaming with pride. VARSITY GIRLS' SOCCER.

Now, with one broken rib, she pulled herself off the mat and began to fight back. "Just thinking of letting my dad down made me mad," Blaney said. "I came back at her kicking and punching.

"I had never broken a board in front of people before," said Bass, who had been in Tae-Kwondo since he was 12. "I was afraid that everyone would laugh when I tried it." "It felt like I had no stomach," he said. "It was hard to breathe, and my adrenaline was rushing." Bass could take three or four tries to break the board in order to qualify for the next belt level. "I broke the board on the first try," Bass said. "I had good technique and made a clean break."

Rounding the corner, she saw neon signs lining the walls of an attractive deli, one of the many features of the brand new Super Saver store that opened April 28. "I had heard Super Saver was just enormous," said Funkhauser. "But it didn't look that big when I first walked in, because the store is not very deep. Then I rounded the corner to the produce and deli aisle. I could not believe it. There was a huge salad bar and tons of deli and bakery stuff. They even had those granola and nuts in bulk that you can dispense yourself. It was ultra cool; I will definitely go back." Shopppers weren't the only ones excited by the new grocery store. Super Saver, the biggest grocery store in southwest Iowa, provided more than 275 jobs. Besides Super Saver, there were many other additions to Council Bluffs. Near Lake Manawa, a strip center containing a WalMart, Sam's Wholesale Club and Menard's Hardware Store was scheduled to open in October 1993. "A lot of people run over to Omaha to get something," said Dan Koenig, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. "What this will do is keep more consumer dollars in Council Bluffs." Another change involved the addition of a 65,000 square foot cancer treatment center to Jennie Edmundson Hospital. According to Mary Ann Bates, director of marketing and public relations, the center will combine all of the hospital's cancer services in one place, as well as social services, physician's offices and American Cancer Society offices. The center, scheduled to open midsummer, offered the only comprehensive cancer treatment in southwest Iowa. From grocery stores and shopping centers to a hospital expansion, coming attractions dotted the community. -Kelly Knudson ~ Community Division p~~ Smart shoppers, Mindy and Benjie Romans choose their favorite doughnuts at the Super Saver bakery.

Love, Mom & Dad ~ Senior Messages To our special and wonderful son Jon, I clearly remember the day you were !-!! ~·, born and how delighted Matt (and, yes, even Amy) was. You were always a happy child and I especially recall your "happy dance". No matter what you did, you did your best. You loved your friends and your big, beautiful, dark eyes dazzled many a cute little girl. All of your interests--football, track, swimming, your hat collection, your model home, even your bottle collection-- were part of the passion in you. And you never lost sight of the importance of fun and humor in life. Even though you have the messiest room I've ever seen, you consoled me by placing your dirty clothes in a heart shape on the floor. I love you deeply and dearly and I am so proud to be your mother. I know you will continue to do well and enjoy life. Stay happy and continue to look for the humor in life--it's everywhere. You are a beautiful person. Someday your own children will do their "happy dance" for you and you'll be as elated as I was because nothing is more of a treasure than a happy, healthy child.

After hours of hoeing and weeding, they were finally planting more than 250 flowers in the main courtyard. POTIY TIM E. Trying not to make any noise, Nate Lovstad carries a toilet into Shannan Brooks's yard May 29. Lovstad and four friends found the toilet and left it in Brooks's yar d at 3 a.m. as a prank. Although students were well behaved at school, some still found time for end of the year fun. (Photo b y Rhonda Fanning) The flowers, along with four bushes and two locust trees planted to replace a tree cut down by vandals two years ago, were a gift to the school from the Class of 1993. Seniors also buried a time capsule in the flowerbed to be opened in 50 years. It contained magazines, school newspapers, and other mementos like a troll doll, pop cans, and a graduation program. E~~: It seemed that the days of celebrating the year's end by lighting firecrackers or letting greased pigs run through the halls were over. In fact, the only greased pigs to be found were the sausages served at the first ever senior breakfast May 28. The reason students were so well behaved may have been that the last week of school seemed like any other. After planning to go for half days the last week, underclassmen were told they would have to go until 3:05 through June 4 to comply with attendance laws. Grudgingly, they dragged themselves to class, bundled in sweatshirts that would protect them from the cold April-like weather. By planting flowers instead of stink bombs and spending longer hours in the classroom, students wrapped up the year and for the first time actually made a scene by not making a scene. -Karen Barker and Kelly Knudson losing Ow!

Beads of perspiration trickled down hundreds of faces, lines of parents and students extended from the teachers' lounge to the commons area and from the top of the ramp to the attendance office; Principal Jim Lake ran around frantically offering water to those who were about to wilt. That was the scene at registration Aug. 17-18 when the temperature reached 90 degrees. I had to wait one and a half to two hours to get my picture taken," said Brandon Reed. "There should have been fans before we got our pictures taken because people were dripping with sweat." Once students reached the comfort of the air conditioned attendance office, many were shocked when they saw that their schedules didn't have the classes they had signed up for, but three or four study halls instead. They began to wonder,'' Now what are we getting into?" According to guidance counselor Kathy Howsare, the combination of the new block schedule with traditional 45-minute classes required that more than 40 percent of students have their schedules changed at registration and during the first week of school. "My schedule was screwed up; they didn't even put me in half the classes I wanted," said Katie Mescher, who waited an hour to get her schedule changed. "I had five study halls a day." Once they had their schedules corrected, students had a hard time adjusting to the every other day blocks. In a poll of 233 students conducted in mid November, only 88 felt they were benefitting from block classes. "I have chemistry and math in a block," said Jeni Randolph. "If I have math on a Friday and the next time on a Tuesday, I forget how to do the assignment. I get confused. The teachers ... continued on page 5 2 • Opening , . ....

In addition to the hassle of registration and the adjustment to the new schedule, students faced a much more crowded campus, with a 12.5 percent increase in enrollment. On the first day of school, the parking lot was exceptionally crowded. "The parking lot was a mess," said Joe Demory. "Lots of underclassmen didn't know what they were doing. I came early to get a good spot and I still ended up parking far away." Members of three organizations also had cause to wonder, "Now what are we getting into?" as they made big plans for the year and struggled to carry them out. The marching band was honored with an invitation to perform in the Master Card Thanksgiving Day Parade Nov. 23-28 in Philadelphia, but to make the trip, the group had to raise $32,000 and practice two hours every morning for three months. As national qualifiers, the 13-member porn pon squad competed in the 1994 National Dance Team Championships at Sea World in Orlando Feb. 4-8. To make it to Florida, the squad raised money by selling raffle tickets for a painting and candy grams. They also practiced 45 hours. The newspaper staff was excited about the Daily Nonpareil distributing the Echoes in the community, but when the time came for editors to do their own color separations, scan color pictures, and deal with community reactions to controversy, they realized the pressure of producing a paper read by the community was much greater than they had imagined. With the beginning of the year off to a challenging start, many students began thinking, "Now what are we getting into?" -Heather Binns and Jennifer Kramer Opening • 5 Surprised that he received the honorof Christmas dance king, Kevin Adkins looks at queen Jeni Bintz in amazement as Peggy Murray (1993 Christmas queen) crowns him.

Whether students hunted for Halloween costumes and went trick-or-treating, partied after graduation or a festive dance, or drove to the Old Market to hang out, they celebrated well Into the Night. The latest fads to hit the scene Right Now included chasing after bargains on clothes recycled from past decades or getting up enough nerve to pierce and tattoo some unusual body parts. In many ways, students had to learn to cooperate with each other as crowded halls, classrooms, and parking lots forced them together. Declining school spirit called for a solution that some students were ready to provide, and with membership in a youth group, many students were able to Get a Little Closer. More than a few students needed energy and courage to face problems like drug abuse, chronic diseases, and pregnancy. Whatever their difficulty, students found themselves Getting Through It. Even reading a newspaper or watching T.V. seemed to require more energy and thought than ever before as the community and the nation struggled to reduce violence, provide health care for everyone, clean up after the torrential summer rains of 1993, and navigate the confusion of Whitewater. These and many other events made students ask, "What in the World?" Students proved through their activities, their growing cooperation with each other, their courage, and their world awareness that they had a ton of Get Up and Go. -Jennifer Kramer Get Up and Go • 7 Gettin' high Sitting on Chris King's shoulders, Amber Duncan carries a "legalize pot" sign as part of her Hippie Day costume.

Lack of school spirit, cancellations, and fighting cause many students serious ... Dozens of red, blue and white streamers hung from the ceiling, "Good Luck, football team" posters covered the walls and lockers, and messages like "Seniors Rock" decorated the floor. As students walked through the tration to put an end to Friday's activities. "I was so disappointed that the picnic was cancelled," said Angie Johnson. "Student government put in a lot of time preparing for it. A lot of students were mad at us halls on Oct. 14, spirit abow1ded. But by noon that day, people had torn down every scrap of paper in the freshman, sophomore, and junior halls. "For three hours Wednesday night, 11 juniors decorated our hall," said Amber Pickenpaugh. "We each put in $5 or $6 to decorate. All that we did was gone. I was '7 saw one fight where three guys started wrestling. The crowd was packed so tight that a teacher because it got cancelled. What they don't realize is everybody had to sacrifice something because a couple of people acted immaturely." The last straw came when students found out the car rally was also cancelled because the police escort was denied. Students got together and planned their own illegal car rally to couldn't get in." Ben Nourse mad that others didn't appreciate and respect what we had done. No one needed to do that" Student government sponsored the new hall decorating contest to get more students involved with the week. They had also planned the second annual Homecoming picnic, which was later cancelled due to three fights at the Hippie Day sit-in. "I saw one fight where three guys started wrestling. The crowd was packed so tight around them that a teacher couldn't get in," Ben Nourse said. "They put way too many kids in the gym and not enough teachers." Behavior at the sit-in prompted the adminisshow support for the team. "We met in the back mall parking lot," said Eric Potter, "because they wouldn't let us have the car rally from school. We decorated our cars in AL colors, then drove to C.B. Stadium." The highlight of the week was the annual Homecoming dance. More than 460 tickets were sold, raising over $2,000. "The D.J. stage looked cool," said Gina DiCenzo. "He played fun songs that you could dance to. I had a fun time with my friends." Although Homecoming was a disappointment to many, it proved to be a memorable experience. -Heather Binns and Nicole Hansen To make the coronation stage more decorative, Nicole Hansen and Bridget Tay lo blow up 75 balloons before the Homecoming dance Oct 16.

Hopping out of his truck, Eric Gift began to unload "For Sale" signs, pumpkin bags, and a scarecrow dressed in a warm up suit and Air Nikes. Checking over his shoulder, Gift began to arrange the items in Heather Swain's yard. "A few of my friends and I were trying to think of something to do for Halloween, so we gathered up some stuff from "The show was neat because everything was real," Duncan said. "A woman with 21 body parts pierced put a needle through her tongue, a man ate crickets and worms, and two men raced to see who could sniff up pieces of string the fastest. Once they sniffed them up, they opened their mouths and took the strings out of their throats." people's yards," said Gift. "We ended up in Heather's neighborhood and put the stuff in her yard. While we were unloading it, her neighbor came outside with a baseball bat so we took off. When we drove by the next day, we noticed that her family had arranged the signs in her yard." '~ woman with 21 body parts pierced put a needle through her tongue; a man ate crl.ckets ... " One student chose to stay with old fashioned trick or treating but experienced it in a new location. On Halloween Eric Royalty waited patiently in line at the gate of Godfather pizza tycoon Willie Thiesens' s Regency mansion for a special treat. Amber Duncan "I have some friends who live in Regency and we decided to go trick or treating a t the mansion," said Royalty. "Thiesen was handing candy out from his limo. I stepped up to it, and he put a five pound Hershey candy bar in my arms. Altogether, my friends and I got 12 bars." Instead of en tertaining themselves as Gift and his friends did, some students opted to pay for their entertainment. Amber Duncan found herself seated comfortably in the basement of the Firehouse Dinner Theater. Her eyes were glued to the center of the stage, and her jaw dropped in amazement as she watched Mike Strange's House of Freaks.

In search of a potion for everlasting love, Kelli Combs's eyes scanned dozens of witchcraft books crowding the dusty shelves at Ye Old Magic Shop in the Old Market, . "I love to go in there and look for new potions," said Combs. "I find the magical rocks fascinating. I just like to go in and look around at all the interesting things." Ye Old Magic Shop was just one of many attractions that caused teens to walk the streets of the Old Market weekend after weekend. According to Renae Andrews, some of the most shopped stores in the Old Market included Retro Cycle, a thrift store with grunge clothing; Wild Things, a shop full of knicknacks; and City Limits, a gift shop with a wide selection of cards. "I go to the Old Market to shop," said Andrews. "There are many interesting shops, and the prices are lower than in Council Bluffs. " Students found the people who frequented the market as interesting as the shops themselves. "I go to the Old Market because people there aren't afraid to be themselves," said Autumn Horton. "I've seen people walking around with green hair and their nose, bellybutton, and nipples pierced, and they don't care who sees them." Sometimes the strangeness was carried too far, causing mixed feelings. Chris Freed remembered an incident that made him question going back to the market.. "I was walking down the street when a guy came up to me and started screaming, 'You're gonna burn in hell.' He tried to convince me that he was Sa tan," said Freed. "It shook me up a bit, but I went back, and I hardly ever see the guy." Students looking for a place to eat good food, shop for bargains on clothes, and meet new and interesting people found the Old Market a hot spot. -Sara Adams Tired of watching Cyra Cramm slowly cut her pizza, G ina Dicenzo g rabs Cramm's fork and playfully tries to feed her.

Walking through the gift wrapped doors, Angie Fender looked around in amazement at the green, red, silver, gold, and white streamers and the Christmas trees covered with lights that filled the fieldhouse with holiday spirit. "I thought the decorations were awesome," said Fender. Since it was my first dance, I thought it was fun. The D.J played good music that we could dance to, but it could have gone on longer." What Fender didn't know was that the Christmas dance almost didn' t take place after Foreign Exchange Club decided not to sponsor it due to lack of attendance and little profit in recent years. Finally, DECA decided to sponsor the dance, but some members were hesitant because of the last two years' fa ilure to make money on the annual event. "I was very nervous about DECA sponsoring the dance because it hadn't been very successful in past years," said Jason Van Every," But we just used what we had learned in DECA about planning and marketing. We looked at past dances and saw what was succcessful and what wasn't and then we decided who to target and how to make it worthwhile for the students who attended. Then we put it all together to make it fun for everyone by having door prizes and free refreshments that were donated by local businesses." After spending three weeks planning the dance and getting most of the decorations done during class, DECA members spent only six hours the day of the dance decorating. DECA sold 250 tickets and profited around $1,000, making the dance a successful fundraiser. "I think the dance was more successful this year because we stuck with a traditional Christmas theme," said Carole Schneider. "Wedidn'tuseany wild colors or anything like last year's theme of Fiesta. It also helped that we had class time to work on the dance and that we got together the night before so we wouldn't have to run around trying to find stuff the day we decorated." The highlight of the dance came when Jeni Bintz and Kevin Adkins were crowned princess and prince. Other court members included Kellie Clifton, Nikki Hartzell, Mary Ryan, Mindy Workman, Eric Mauer, Ryan Powell, Brian Reisz, and Ryan Wheeler. -Nicole Hansen Toy gun in hand, Nikki Hartzell aims it across the room as Nick McGrath watches during the orchestra Christmas party Dec. 22.

(Photo by Heather Olson) ~ N 10 lrKI E ~G[l={Jf"--------------- First student director of major musical gains knowledge and experience as a ... It was a whole new world for senior Katrina Markel when instructor Stephen Brockway chose her to direct the all school musical Aladdin. "It's fun getting to shape the play in to how I see it," said Markel. "Instead of being one character, I kind of get to be all of the characters. I'm learning different ways to communicate my ideas through the characters. I think they do roundoffs and kicks. Brockway wouldn't be doing that." Although Markel was the director, she was also a friend to many of the cast members, who sometimes found it hard to be serious. "I think cast members think they can goof off in rehearsals," Markel said. "It's hard for me to crack down. I've had to learn directing will help me as an actress to think more like a director." Cast members saw some big differences between Markel and Brockway. "Brockway has an ultimate vision of what everything is supposed to look like," said Robin Shepard. "But with Katrina, it kind of progresses as we go along. She probably '7t's fun getting to shape the play into how I see it. Instead of being one character, I kind of get to be all of the characters." to say, 'Okay, we've got to be quiet, no more clowning around. We have to get down to business."' In addition to disciplining her cast, Markel had to cope with stress. "Most of the stress comes in because everything falls on my shoulders," said Markel. "If the show isn't ready by the time Katrina Markel has an ultimate vision, but she tries more new things than Brockway ever did. It's more creative." With Markel, nothing was set in stone. "Katrina likes to stick quirks in," Brian Collier said, "like having people bump heads when they bow, and directing the ninjas to act hyper while we open, it's my fault." Although there was a lot of stress, Markel expected the rewards to be even greater. "It's satisfying when you can watch people improve, knowing you helped them have a little bit more confidence in themselves on stage," she said. -fen Kracher Star light Carefully balanced on two tiny steel rods 40 feet above the auditorium, Jason Pierret adjusts and rechecks the cove lights before the opening night of A laddin.

"I was mad," Rindone said. "I decided to ask other people as a joke, just to see who would go, and Travis Hatcher was the first one to say yes seriously, so we went as friends." Like Rindone, a lot of students experienced some last minute surprises that encouraged them to take friends rather than romantic dates to Prom. "We knew we would have more fun if we went with each other instead of being totally bored with a date." -Eric Potter "Stacy and I are best friends," said Potter. "We knew we would have more fun if we went with each other instead of being totally bored with a date." A few students even decided to go to Prom alone.

"I pulled a little piece of skin from my belly button and reached for the sterilized needle," said Bourke. "I poked the needle into my skin but it didn't work so I used a sterling silver shtd, which pierced several layers of my skin. When I got to the last layer of skin, it took 15 minutes to get through; then I heard the skin pop. It felt like a thumb tack poking into your hand. I wanted to get rid of the pain." Bourke wasn't the only srudent willing to go through the physical pain of being poked, burned, or stung. Thirty-six out of 100 srudents polled had considered being pierced or tattooed, while 15 said they had already been branded. Some wanted to show their rebellious individualism, but others wanted to be part of the new trend. Eric Potter got his belly button pierced because he wanted to be different. "I didn't know of anyone who had it at the time and it's less permanent than a tattoo," said Potter. "I saw itin Madonna's Sex Book. I'm not a pervert; I was looking in the book for a story I did for newspaper. I also saw it on Aerosmith's Cry in' video." Sarah Shaver wanted a tattoo to fit in at the beach where she worked. "I was wiping the windows in the beach house," said Shaver. "I thought, 'I'm gonna get a tattoo tonight.' I told the people I was working with that I was going to do it and they thought it was cool." Shaver wanted her tattoo badly enough that she didn't worry much about the pain, but finally, it became more than she could handle. "The tattoo artist said it would hurt like hell," said Shaver. "I tried to tough it out, but when he hit my heel bone, I asked him to stop. He said he could finish the outline and to come back another day, but I knew if I walked out, I wouldn' t come back." Although Shaver didn't regret her tattoo, Waylon Foutch later regretted his decision. "I got my tattoo when I was a freshman because I thought it would be cool," said Foutch. "I don't like it anymore and eventually I will get it taken off." Foutch never considered the permanence of his tattoo before he got it. "People see things they like," said Foutch.

Feeling great about how he looked, Nate Weathers strolled into the Homecoming dance wearing blue and tan pinstriped trousers, a matching vest, and a plain white T-shirt. His Homecoming outfit cost only about $20 at a huge Banana Republic sale. "I pretty much just shop for bargains," said Wea thers. "When I went school shopping, I bought only one pair of full priced jeans. I spent like $300 and got four pairs of pants, two pairs of jeans, four casual shirts, multiple T-shirts, and shoes." Weathers wasn't the only bargain hunter roaming the halls. Although most students said they shopped at Dillards and The Buckle, more than 12 percent of those polled said they shopped for the cheapest clothes they could find. "I go somewhere I know I will get clothes cheap," Andy Sorensen said. "For a pair of jeans, usually I'll just buy them at Target. I don't like buying really expensive brand name ones because I think you are only paying for the brand name and not the jeans themselves." Students who had to pay for their own clothes were especially serious abouts tretching their money. Many found that a typical outfit of jeans and a flannel shirt cost around $88 at Dillards and $96 at The Buckle, while that same outfit at Retro Recycle would cost only $25. "I have my own job and I see how fast my paycheck can go," Jen Ridgeway said. "For two weeks I get paid around $130 that could easily be spent at The Buckle on one pair of jeans and a shirt. At the Retro I can get four shirts for $20, whereas at The Buckle I can get a collar and a button for that much." Many of those who found that cheaper is better discovered the cheapest place to get clothes was in their own home. Students either hunted through their parents' closets looking for old hippie and 70's clothes or found some wild clothing in their own closets. "I get most of my clothes out of my own closet," Angie Johnson said. "I haven't grown much in a couple of years, so I still have stuff from ninth grade. I basically just mix and match with what I have in my closet already." Whether shopping the sales or going to a thrift store, students saved their money by stretching their pennies. -Jennifer Kracher C omfortable i11 his frie nd 's ba th robe, Noah We ll er k neels dow n a t h is lock er.

As Teena Juhl left her house with 10 minutes to get to school, she knew there would be a struggle to find a parking spot, especially when 394 student parking stickers were sold for the 300 spaces in the lot. "I paid to park in that lot," said Juhl, "but when I come late, I see cars that don't have stickers. The new lines helped because people had an idea of where to park, but there still aren't enough spots." The student parking lot wasn't the only place where crowdedness existed after 1311 students enrolled compared to last year's 1165. At least 32 classes had more than 30 people in them at the beginning of first semester, according to assistant principal Fred Maher. "In my French class there are more then 30 people," said Kim Fulfs. "There are barely enough desks. All the people make it hard to learn because the class becomes chaotic." Hallways were even more jam packed than classrooms. In the most crowded halls, traffic jams often stopped students cold. "In the English hallway, movement is almost nonexistent," said Jim Hastie. "I can hardly get to my locker. Next year the Freshman Class is bigger." Lunches were crowded after the administration cut from three lunches to two last year, and when 100 students were added, first lunch became so packed that many students could not even find a place to sit. After a few weeks the administration relieved the problem a little by cutting the number of classes with first lunch. "At the beginning of the year, it took me longer to get a lunch than it does now," said Eric Bach. "I still think we need to do something about the problem, like go back to three lunches or have open campus." Throughout the year, enrollment went down, and by Dec. 1, only 1256 students were enrolled, making the school a little less crowded.

(Photo by Christen Grimsley) • • Upperclassmen yelled, "Freshmen Suck!" at the pep assemblies; only 10 students remained in the stands by the end of the Sioux City East game; juniors spent hours decorating their hall for Homecoming, and it was trashed by noon the next day; fights in the Homecoming sit-in caused its cancellation and that of the next day's picnic. These events and others proved to many that school spirit was at an all time low. To solve the problem, a student advisory council got started when a few students met with Principal Jim Lake about the fights that erupted at the sit in. "I went to Mr. Lake because I saw cliques confronting each other at the sit in," said member Ryan Powell. "We realized everyone needed more school spirit." In a poll of 73 people, 41 said school spirit was down. "I think school spiri~ has gone down 75 percent since I've been here," said Katie Mescher. "A lot of people don't respect the school enough; and they show it by teepeing and spray painting the building." Students cited failure of groups to support each other as the major cause of poor spirit. The Pep Squad formed at the beginning of the year had 139 members, but by the end of January, the squad had only 35 members. "I thought it would be fun to cheer without being a cheerleader," said Stephanie Krach er. "I didn't think so many people would be against it. When people made fun of me, I felt like an outcast." Football players also felt a lack of support, w ith only a few students showing up at most games. At the Sioux City East football game, players said they came from behind but couldn't overtake their opponent because their was no crowd support. "When you're down by that much and start to come back and there's nobody there, you think, 'Why am I doing this?"' said Jason Corwin,. Corwin remembered his freshman year when things were different.

Dragging her feet, Jill Hunter sauntered through the front door after a long, hard day at school. She was anxiously greeted by her good friend, Missy, who lathered her with sloppy kisses. The two meandered into the kitchen and sat down to an afternoon snack. When finished, they cozied up on the couch to watch Desiging Women, a daily ritual shared by two friends. Then Hunter began to tell Missy, her furry black Shih-tzu terrier, about her day. In a poll of 140 students, 126 had pets. Of those, 77 said they had a close relationship with their pet. Ten said it was the best relationship they had. "I have a strong emotional attachment to my dogs and cats," said Kehry Lane. "They're like friends that you don't get in fights with." Courtney Brummer said she talked to her fish for at least five minutes before and after school, "My fish is the only member of my family that will listen to me without interrupting," said Brummer. "He can't tell me to shut up. I am close with my fish because he hasn't bonded with anyone else. He's there for me and me only." More than 100 students said they and their parents considered their pet a member of the family. "My mom always gets the dogs ice cream or french fries when she goes out," said Nicole Hansen. "They get presents under the tree, and we celebrate their birthdays. I'm jealous of the extra attention they get." The loss of a pet could be as traumatic as the loss of a family member. Jason Will, whose cat died in November of 1993, said it was difficult to overcome his grief. "My whole family cried a lot when Tiger got run over," said Will. "It was very painful for all of us. She was the best animal and a grea t friend. She w as like part of our family-we always took care of her and spent money on her to keep her happy and healthy." According to the Dec. 7,1993 issue of The Nonpareil, grief over a pet's death had driven people to suicide, destroyed marriages, and cau sed job losses. "It took me a long time to get over it," said Alicia Hughes, whose dog died five years ago. "I was so sad I missed school.

The smell of melted chocolate and roasted marshmallows drifted through the air while the warmth of the fire reached out to those who stood holding hands around its perimeter. A soft melody lifted from the circle as the 10 members of the youth group at Ridgecrest Baptist Church sang several hymns. As the last note emitted into the night, tears began to dampen the faces of the teens. "It was really neat because we'd been talking about a lot of things that go on in a teenager's life-drinking, drugs, peer pressure, sex," said Jonathan Weister. "A couple of people went forward and got some things off their chests that they needed to say. Wedidn'tjudgethem or look down on them. We just listened and tried to let them know that we were there for them." Members of the Ridgecrest Baptist Church youth group weren't the only ones who felt a strong system of support within their chruch group. Cindy Lee said her youth group, Front Line, at the First Assembly of God, provided her with an environment where she could give and receive encouragement and support. "We're like a big family," said Lee. "I try to be a role model for the younger kids because I remember that when I was their age, I looked up to the older kids." Church youth groups played an important role in the lives of many teens, helping them develop lasting friendships with people they otherwise never would have gotten to know. "I met people from different schools and of various ages," said Andrea Deremer. "Our differences don't affect anything because we're all there for one purpose- to serve God." Paul Stark, a member of the youth group at Timothy Lutheran Church, found that talking to God on a daily basis helped him manage a lot of difficult times. "I pray two or three times a day about anything," said Stark. "I take time out to talk to God because he is always listening, especially if I have a tough day. Whether making new friends or spiritual discoveries, most teens involved in youth groups agreed their group offered the encouragement and comfort they needed. "Some people think that church and things involved are just a bunch of restrictions," said Lee. "To me, I'm not giving up anything- I'm gaining a life lesson." -Jessie Morris 32 • Student life ------------~-----........

In sixth grade the gym instructor discovered that Dingman had scoliosis or a curved spine. The curve was so bad that she needed to have surgery at age 12. During the four-hour, $30,000 surgery in 1988, the doctor inserted a plastic rod on each side of her spine and on top and fused them all together with bone from her hip. "I was in the hospital 10 days after the surgery," said Dingman. "I couldn'twalkorevensitup. I had to lie flat on my back, and every hour two nurses came in and flipped me." After Dingman was up and walking again, she had to wear a brace, which helped to keep her back straight all of the time, even at school. "There were a lot of jokes in the beginning," she said. '1 cried because I was embarrassed to wear it. I worried what others would think of me. I didn't even think about the brace helping me. Eventually, most people accepted it, and Ilearned that wearing a brace doesn't make you less of a person." As a junior, Dingman still wore the brace to bed and faced limitations on what she could do. "I can't lift more than 25 pounds," she said. "I can only bend from the waist, and this year was the first time in two years Icould participate in P. E. I am supposed to do sit-ups regularly to keep my stomach muscles strong because they help support my back. " But the benefits from surgery and the brace were well worth the agony Dingman endured. "If I had never been diagnosed, I could be all twisted up now," she sa id. "I also may not have been able to breathe right because my rib cage laid on top of my lung, which is still smaller than the other, but at least 1 can breathe." -Heather Binns 34 • Student Life More than ... ches & pains Disabled girl leads normal life As an eight-year old, Tracy Peck could walk with ease across a room, but by 11, she was confined to a wheel chair due to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (MD). Duchenne MD is a rapidly progressive disease which destroys the skeletal muscles. Peck's legs had been in the sitting position for such a long time that if they were to be straigtened, they would break, so she slept in the fetal position. "The doctor gave me a brace to wear to bed to keep my legs straight," she said, "but that eventually got too painful, so I stopped wearing it." By her senior year, her strength had decreased until the smallest tasks were difficult for the 5' 7 ", 82-pound girl to do. "I can tell I'm weaker," she said. "A twogallon milk jug is hard for me to pick up now. Even my school books are difficult to handle." Peck may not have had the strength to walk, yet she did all the things a normal teenager does.

After almost a year and a half of doing acid and marijuana on a regular basis, Taylor decided it was time he cleaned up his life. "The night I mixed three drugs was the first time I ever did LSD," Taylor said. "I'm lucky I'm still alive. It was stupid and dangerous. I have decided I don't want to do drugs anymore." Gradually, Taylor had built up a tolerance for marijuana so it didn't give him the same high. ''Marijuana was making me feel like shit," he said. "Sometimes when I was high, I wished things would be normal again. After a while, the drugs got old and I just wanted out." Even 10 months after Taylor stopped using drugs, he continued to attend parties where drugs were available. "I have fun with the people who use," he said. "I get the same rush, but I am not doing any drugs. I 'm sober so there is no danger involved." Taylor was glad he chose to stop. "The drugs were altering my mind," he said.

At the other end of the spectrum, junior *Jane Kemp grew up in a structured environment; her father was a minister, and each week Kemp went to church. Nobody would have thought she would end up in the whirlwind of drugs. Smith said she started using drugs because of her dad. "He was doing cocaine and marijuana," she said. "He still does drugs, but not in front of me anymore. It's hard because my friends don't understand what it's like growing up around that." Smith was getting high before and after school everyday her junior year. One teacher noticed a change in her behavior and mentioned it to her. Her hours were even cut back at work because she couldn't keep up, but Smith didn't realize she had a problem until one of her friends had a bad reaction to acid. "I knew I had a problem when my friend tripped," she said. "I was mad at myself. I told my mom what was going on. She said she loved me and wanted me to learn my own lesson.

"Then one day I decided that I didn' t like church any more. I tried marijuana and I never felt so mellow before. My body was numb and I didn't feel any stress. My parents had just gone through a divorce. That caused me a lot of stress." Even though church was no longer important in Kemp's life, she continued to place much importance on her school work. "School is very important to me," she said. "I have a 3.5 cumulative and a 3.8 current GP A. Tests are tougher, though. Marijuana makes you lose your short term memory. Things just come a little slower, like 8 plus 8, little stupid things." Yet Kemp had no desire to quit her carefree lifestyle now or in the near future. "I don't believe in reincarnation," she said.

(Photo by Susan Freeman) 48 • Sports After nine consecutive losing seasons, the softball team finally hit home with a 15-12 record and the city championship. The girls accomplished this feat with a combination of great pitching and almost flawless infielding. "During the first St. Albert game Mindy Workman did a really good job of pitching," said Coach Kevin Dunn. "She had nine strike-outs and no walks. That's excellent, considering two strike-outs to one walk is a good ratio for a game. The girls also had some really good infield plays throughout the game." Throughout the season, the talent and teamwork of Keri Feil en, Jennifer Petersen, Shauna Hale, Mandi Phillips and Mindy Patten kept the team ranked in the top 15 in the state in infielding. In addition to skill, mental toughness often conquered opponents. In one St. Albert game, the girls stayed mentally alert through 12 innings of a 2-2 tie ----------~--------...... until they finally pulled away with a 5-2 victory. Unlike the girls, the baseball team ended its season with a 6- 22 record. "I think we could have had a better record if we would have had more experienced players on the team," said Bob Stiles. "We were just too young for our opponents." Because the team had only six seniors, 12 juniors were forced to step into varsity positions and had difficulty adjusting to the change, according to Coach Rick Wahl. Inconsistency in hitting and pitching also contributed to the losing record. "The team either pitched well and hit badly, or hit well and pitched badly," said Wahl. "We gave away a lot of hits as our pitching went downhill every game." To end regular season play, the boys lost to Tee Jay and the girls lost to Lewis Central in the first round of Districts. -Amy Haggstrom .--' .· .. ·:~· . . . ' ·~·'..... . . . . ' • '. Jr., ......

"It was hard to go into a game knowing we were going to be outmanned and knowing we were going to lose every time," said Kregg Clemens. In a typical game, AL was often outmanned by at least 25 to 30 players. The boys' first chance to win came when they played crosstow n rival Tee Jay, but the team was upset as TeeJay pulled away 28-22. "The boys did a really good job of trying to battle back into the game," said Coach Rick Wahl. "They justmadetoomany turnovers and mental mistakes." In the season finale against Sioux City East, the boys were 10 yards away from winning the game whenS.C.Eastintercepted the ball, securing a 14-20 win. "After Matt (Handsacker) scored a touchdown, it fired the whole team up," said Clemens. "We had a really good shot at winning. We just simply made too many mistakes." Although the scores showed only that the boys lost every ganle, players said the team had some good qualities others didn't see. "They were personal qualities rather than physical," said Bill Waugh. "We had pride and selfrespect. We ran fast, hit hard, and never gave up." Coach Wahl was proud of the team's accomplishments. "I thought the boys exemplified what athletics is all about," he said. "You go out regardless of who or what you're playing against and give it your best shot." -Amy Haggstrom "We played !Ap to O!AI" ability; b!At all of O!A I" ~ppoV\eV\ts Wel"e too • II ovel"powel"1V\9 . -3asoV\ Col"WiV\ A ll-City Offel'\se L a """"Y P etel"SOI'\ K ""e99 Clemel'\s D efense D eW ayl'\e B""i9ht Bi ll W aVlgh Specia list Cha d Nelsol'\ L ed M efro JI'\ R eceivei l'\9 K ""e99 Clemel'\s VARSITY FOOTBALL.

Finally Coach Mary Kyte broke the silence, trying to raise the dampened spirits of her volleyball team after the girls' devastating loss to Sioux City Heelan for regional semi-finals, which crushed their chances for State. "I know it's a real disappointment losing this game, but you played very well tonight and all season," said Kyte. "I'm proud of you and I'm gonna miss you seniors. We'vehadagreatyear." The hall fell silent again except for the quiet sobs of the players, who knew it was the last time they would sit together as a team. Most players felt the loss was due to overconfidence. "Everyone believed we would easily beat Sioux City Heelan," said Tracy Thomas. "Once they beat u s in the second game, it came as such a shock that we started making too many mental errors and they just outplayed u s." The game was a sad end to the season with 33 w ins, breaking the school record. Players credit their success to carefully developed teamwork and a varie ty of talents. "We were good friends off the court and on, and our relationships helped establish g reat teamwork," said Katie Mescher. "We also had a great diversity of strengths, good height, excellent spikers, setters, and passers." The girls' strengths became obvious during their first tournament, the Des Moines North Invitational, w here they took first place. "By the time we made it to the championship game, the whole team was tired from playing a tough game against Ames, who had beaten us earlier in the day," said Mindy Workman. "We really came together. If someone fell, we all helped her up. We wanted revenge bad and gave everything we had to beat Ames and take first place." Even a disappointing end to the season did not overshadow the teamwork and dedication of a record breaking season. - Rhonda Fanning ----------~~-------..... -v -vo the p0 .

Snapping their 12-year streak of qualifying an individual or team to State, the boys' and girls' cross country teams ended their season short at Districts Oct. 21. "The season was full of peaks and valleys, and Districts just happened to fall in a valley," said Coach Mick Freeman. The boys ran without standout Jason Steger, who suffered from a stress fracture in his left ankle. "During the race, the pain got so bad where I couldn't keep running, so I reluctantly dropped out," said Steger. The Lady Lynx wrapped up their season with an 11th place finish a t Districts. Mary Ryan finished first for the team, placing 26th. The girls were plagued with inconsistency as team unity tore apart. Coach Ron Lakatos said some disappointments came mid season with injuries and lack of cooperation among the runners. "There was a lot of tension in practice," said Jessie Drake. "Some girls would skip practice and most of us lost the idea of toughing it out and being a tea1n." Although the girls didn' t win any meets, they placed third as the host team at the AL Invite.

He fought the pain in his tightened muscles still sore from the meet the night before. Fifteen minutes later, short of breath,hispulseratesoaring and sweat rolling off his face, he headed for the shower, glad another morning practice was over. Running laps was just one element of the wrestlers' rigorous practice routine. "We have the toughest practices of any sport," Waugh said. "At an after school practice, we start with 100 push-ups and situps; then we wrestle two matches, work on our technique for 30 minutes, wrestle two or three more matches, do another 100 push-ups and sit-ups and then run sprints. The wrestlers' grueling practices paid off with an 11-1 duel meet record. The team's only loss was to longtime rival Lewis Central, who placed second at State. The wrestlers also had a strong fourth place finish at the Metro Tournament. "We felt good about placing fourth out of 18," said Justin Edmondson. "Many of the Nebraska teams who wrestled at the Metro tourney were state contenders. " The team's successful season wasn't without sacrifices. Wrestlers gave up their social life to practice, and cutting weight often meant skipping meals. "It took a lot of self control to pass up going out with my friends becuase I had to go to bed early," said Dan Mohatt. "I hated having to stay home and not go to Burger King, where watching my friends eat was just too tempting. Friends became second priority to wrestling all season." -Rhonda Fanning One ..

These words echoed throughout the St. Albert gym as Falcon fans ridiculed the Lynx team, which had become seniorless by New Year's. Of the 12 seniors expected to play varsity, five didn't show up to the first practice, two quit before the first game, and three quit after the second game. The last two quit on New Year's Day. Seniors said they quit for various reasons, ranging from being sick of working hard and not having fun to disagreeing with the coaches. Although the Lynx faced some tough competition, with nine of their games against a top 10 team in Iowa or Nebraska, the sophomores and juniors who remained on the team or were moved up to varsity did not give up. After the last senior left, in fact, the young players said they worked harder than ever.

We pushed ourselves in the running drills that we dreaded before, we worked harder on our ball handling drills, and we played our scrimmages like we would a real game. Everyone worked harder in the all-around practice." Coach Francisco Pepin said that although the team won only one game, the tougher practices resulted in marked improvements in several games. In the next four matchups after New Year's, offensive rebounds and steals increased by an average of three a game, and, on average, the boys allowed their opponents 17 fewer points and six fewer rebounds a game. "Even though we lost all but one game, the fact that we're all tenth and eleventh graders is outstanding," said David Zimmerman.

At $5 a plate for fish, baked beans, bread, and fries, the cheerleaders' fish fry brought in more than $550 profit. "The fish fry was the best" said Molly Jayjack. "I called Sweet 98 and announced where it was. We had tons of fun." In addition to the fish fry, the cheerleaders sponsored two car washes during the summer. "Of all the fundraisers, I think the car washes were the best." said Jill Wenninghoff. "We always met a ton of new people, and no matter what, we would always get into a huge water fight. It was a blast!" Fundraisers were only a small part of the girls' summer fun. They spent most of the money they earnedoncampatOkoboji, where they practiced new cheers for 8 to 10 hours a day. "Camp was a way all of the cheerleaders could learn to work together." said Bridget Taylo. "We spent most of the day in the hot sun learning new cheers and things." Once they returned from camp, the girls had to force themselves out of bed by 7:30 every morning for two-hour practices -------------~--------.... at school. "Practices were the hardest when we started running to Kokomo's and back," said Cindi Tripp, "especially so early in the morning" After the year started, the cheerleaders' behind the scenes work continued. They volunteered their time to serve dinner to football players before games. "We wanted to do something for the football players and this way we got to know them better," said Wenninghoff. Wrestling cheerleaders also put in extra time behind the scenes. "My mom driving us to far away meets every Saturday became a ritual." Dana Drennen said. "We would always leave earlier than needed so we could stop for breakfast. One time we stopped at Happy Chef and ordered hot cocoa with marshmallows bacause it was so cold." Although most students didn't realize how hard the cheerleaders worked, the girls accepted the extra time they put in out of the limelight as just a part of life. "Without the little things we do for the teams and each other," Jayjack said. "we wouldn't be real cheerleaders." -Andrea O'Brien ----------- - - - - ~--- ------ - - - - - Wat ch & learn Clapping her hands together, Jeni Bintz teaches a group of kindergarten through third grade girls a cheer.

"We talked about things goingonin our lives," Kristin Scott said. "Everyone listened and understood. It was like having 12 sisters in one room." At camp the squad also learned it qualified for the 1994 National Championships in Orlando, FL. "Camp made this year special," Grace Jayjack said. "We got along well, and learning we were going to Nationals made us more dedicated." But the girls faced many difficulties on their way to Nationals. "We contacted three different choreographers from the United Dance Association who turned down our requests to help us," Joanne Whalen said. "So we asked a former captain, Krissa Rossbund, to help. Her dance was too difficult and we couldn't learn it in time, so we decided to perfect an earlier dance. Krissa ------------~-----........ around had already sent in music to the UDA and we requested a change of music. Two weeks before we had to leave, we got a call telling us the music we sent in was disqualified. We finally found music that was okay." Knowing most squads would have professionally choreographed dances, the girls began to feel tension. "Under normal circumstances, we would have gotten along," Whalen said, "but we were frustrated because of the National complications." Despite problems, members believed the trip helped form a special bond again." "We got along better because we were stuck with each other for four days," said Rikki Rodenburg. "We had our differences, but we're all friends." Senior Erica Warren said the friendships were what she would miss most. "The diversity made this year special," Warren said. "I got to meet quiet and outgoing people, and I got to know people who hang out in different crowds." -Jill Hunter Mmm, y ummy Impressed with menu items at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando, Angie Johnson and Erica Warren decide what to order.

The girls worked hard during their own practices, swimming nearly 300 laps in each two-hour stretch and wearing two to three swimsuits to create drag.

You all have the skills and talent to win. You have to play with heart, it's gotta come from inside. I'll be satisfied with any outcome as long as you play a tough game." These words came from Coach Jim Cunningham's mouth many times during the season. "These talks helped us to realize that Coach couldn't give us what comes from inside to win," said Matt Timm. "Each player's love for soccer has to come from the heart." When the boys suffered a loss to St. Albert in the city tournament, many of them understood what Cunningham was telling them. According to Timm, the boys dominated the first half of regulation play, controlling the midfield and making all of their passes. But in the second half, the Lynx came out cold, and instead of stepping up after the Falcons scored, they seemed to let off of the pressure. "The main difference between St. Albert and us," said Timm, "was that they played tough the whole game. Even after they scored 10 minutes into the second half, they still kept the pressure on." But earlier in the season, after a devastating loss to Papillion and another pep talk from Cunningham, the Lynx had a spectacular win against Millard North. After ending the 90 minutes of regulation play and the 20 minutes of overtime in a 0-0 tie, the Lynx returned to the field and defeated the Mustangs in a shootout, securing a 1-0 win. "This was definitely a highlight of the season," said Matt Jensen.

"To have a team that works well together, the players must be friends on the field," Amy Tilley said. "The sport just won'twork without teamwork."

The girls were celebrating because they had just won the city tournament in a first ever undefeated season. "We won the T.J. Invitational for the first time ever," Alicia Hughes said. "No AL team had ever won it, and for the first time in six years, Atlantic didn't win it. It makes us feel good because we won by only one stroke." The girls practiced four hours a day, and it paid off. "It's pretty neat being my senior year," Alison Heitman said, "to finish the season on a strong note, winning all these matches and everything." Through their 6-0 historymaking season, the girls grew closer to each other. "The team spirit has been real good," Amy Kramer said. "We always pull together when we have tournaments." The guys didn't develop the ~-~----------~--------.... same closeness as the girls because they weren't together as much this season. "The team just isn't practicing," Adam Wilson said. "Last year we practiced till eight every night, and this year we just play five or nine holes." Not having their regular coach, Phil Nielsen, due to a minor heart attack at the beginning of the season, was one reason they practiced less. Brown coached both teams, and Curt Hinman said he practiced mostly with the girls. Wilson said their 3-3 record, although it included a first place win at the Creighton Prep Invitational, showed Nielsen was missed. "Our team wasn't really affected emotionally, but when we found out he was done coaching, it was like a dark cloud," Danny Van Bibber said, "but he did come to the Champions Tournament, and he was really pleased when we won." -fen Kracher Sandman "Putting power behind his swing, Dan Van Bibber practices hitting the ball out of the sand at Dodge Park before the city tournament.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) Through challenging jumps, dangerous tricks, skiers say there's no business like ... now business With big chunks of ice covering the Crescent ski hills. Michelle Johnson knew it wasn't a good day to be skiing, but she took her chances. As she exited the lift and started down the hill, she knew she shouldn't have been there. She hit a chunk of ice, lost her balance, and slashed her head as she hit the ground. "That had to be my worst experience in the eight years I've been skiing," Johnson said. "It scares you when you fall and get hurt." Even after she got injured, Johnson continued to challenge herself on the slopes. "There are always new things to try, like new jumps," she said. "It's great to see how far you can push yourself out there on the hills." Like J olmson, many others kept finding new challenges to keep the sport exciting. "I love going off the jumps and seeing how high I can get," said Olivia Roppe. "It's fun to see who can get down the hill the fastest, hitting all the jumps without falling." Even though Johnson and Rappe had skied only at the Mount Crescent Ski Hills, Matt Clark had been to both Breckenridge and Keystone in Colorado. "I started out on the bunny hill at Keystone when my family went on a ski trip to Colorado," said Clark. "It was kind of scary at first, but once I got used to it, I thought it was a pretty easy sport." Clark said he skied about five times a week at Mt. Crescent and inade at least one or two trips a year to Colorado. "It's a great winter sport," he said. "It's more individualized so you can push yourself as hard as necessary to see what kinds of tricks you can do. You don't have to rely on other people to do a good job." Clark often tried tricks called the Leroy and the Daphie. "The Daphie is pretty easy," he said. "You just go over the jump, put one ski forward and one ski backward and then you land; the Leroy is where you cross your skis in the air after you go over the jump." Another Colorado skier, Mike Nelson, built his own jumps at Crescent to try tricks that many professionals did. To build the jumps, Nelson used hay bails which he covered with a pile of snow, making sure none of the strands of hay were exposed. "First, you have to build a jump just right so it's gradual enough and not too steep," he said. "Then you have to be brave enough to try it the first time. After you try it once, you're not as scared to keep doing it." Some of the stunts Nelson and his friends tried were the Helicopter, the Back-scratcher, and the Squirrel. "The Helicopter is probably the most fun," Nelson said. "It's a full 360 in the air after you go over a jump. Everybody seems to be trying this jump because it's one of the easiest stunts to do." Whether students built their own jumps or used those already made to try stunts done by professionals, many found skiing to be a challenging winter sport. -Amy Haggstrom "'t' ....._; s a 9l1'"ea t wiV\teJI'" spo11'"t.

But at school, the phrase carried a positive meaning, too--the excitement of getting new equipment, taking a special trip, or being honored with a big award. Deadlines and a new schedule brought stress to students and faculty members in Now or Never situations. New computers, video cameras, and editing equipment caused excitement for publication and broadcasting students. A high tech lab gave industrial technology students a 21st century experience, and new vocational education courses at the Tucker Center catapulted students Into the Future. Group communication became more important as the new block schedule made it difficult for some groups to meet daily with their members. But the blocks gave students more time to be creative through group projects, and there was time for students to help others learn material, so students were Getting Together. Learning experiences also came from outside the school building. Groups such as band, porn pon, DECA, and the publications staffs took far away trips to big cities in the North and East. Other students attended camps at universities and colleges during the summer of 1993. These students on the go wondered more than once," Are We There Yet?" All in all, block classes, stressful competitions and deadlines, high technology, group work, and exciting trips led many to say, "We're In For It Now!" 82 • Clubs and Classes Division --....... ~~- - - - --- -Jennifer Kramer Carefully holding a crayfish, John Christiansen dissects it during instructor Terrell Clinton's eighth hour biology class.

Although DeWitt was the only one out of four students from AL to make it to Nationals, others worked equally hard. "I won five rounds before I was eliminated," said Jessie Morris.

These included meeting every other day so students had a day in between to get their work completed and having extra time in class.

Suddenly from the front of the room, an evergreen tree spoke. "Once upon a time, far away on the Fiji Islands, there lived a civilization of duck-billed platypuses and one garbageman," said the evergreen tree, who was actually Stephanie Kracher. As Kracher spoke, two girls, wearing bills made of construction paper tied around their heads, turned around to face their audience. The laughter that had subsided into giggles now turned into hoots. Kracher, Malick, Tara Owens and Erin Grudle, the duck-billed platypuses, had not intended for this project to be so funny.

Just when the students thought there was no hope, a voice squealed out from somewhere in the room, "I got it!" Soon an excited murmur scattered throughout the class. This was a familiar scene in instructor Chris Fink's Advanced Placement Chemistry class where students often got together in small groups of four or five to work on assigned problem sets. Erin Girton said Fink gave the class some notes and examples, but students were expected to figure out many questions on their own. "We often didn't talk about all the problems in class," said Girton. "Last week we sat there thinking about one, and finally, someone in my group figured it out. She explained to us how to do it; we told someone else, and it spread throughout the classroom. It usually works that way." Girton said working in groups was beneficial because most of the time only a few people really knew what was going on. "The problem sets help us understand what we're going over," said Danielle Norgard. "It makes the problem easier if everybody works together. When you work alone, you get frustrated if you can't figure out the answer."

Impressed by her final product, Stephen Brockway, drama instructor, urged Johnson to enter her play in a contest at Grandview College in Des Moines. Johnson won first place and was awarded a $400 scholarship to the college, a medal, and a public reading of the play.

It was the diverse group of people that made the school what it was. They came from as far away as Serbia and as close as Wenwood Circle. They ranged in age from 13 years to 65 years. Their hair color spanned the spectrum from the white of librarian Richard Holt to the dyed magenta of Paul Montana. They were a diverse group of 1256 students and 129 faculty. Get the Picture? A few in the student body like Susan Eicher took all of her classes at Iowa Western and spent very little time on campus; others, like Christine Lam, often spent 12 hours a day on campus carrying a full course load, participating in sports, and working on publications. Teachers were energized by Wes McMains and Alynn Jaeger, who just graduated from college, and they were given stability by Richard Schoeppner, who had been at AL since 1960, longer than anyone else. Get the Picture? People filled with the excitement of a new experience and those who were just waiting for the school year to end came to school every day. There were the quiet people like Robby Doyle, who went about his work without disturbing anyone. Yet, students couldn't escape the outrageous personalities of those like Mike McCarthy, who ate a goldfish during lunch and was always willing to try anything once. So, from oldest to youngest, wildest to most reserved, the students and teachers of Abraham Lincoln High School provided the rich diversity that gave the school a personality of its own.

King of late night Drinking a can of Mountian Dew to keep her heavy eyelids open, Nicole Dawson lounged comfortably in her bean bag chair, flipping channels and pa tiently waiting for her favorite program, Late Show with David Letterman, to begin. Even though she paid the price the next day, Dawson kept staying up until after midnight every night to wa tch Letterman. "I really have a hard time getting up in the morning and I'm so tired at school that I have trouble paying attention and usually doze off during the day," Dawson said. "But I keep watching because I love Letterman's wild and crazy sense of humor." Although Letterman's unusual style of adlibbing and quick witted sarcasm offended some of his fans, most said it was tha t kind of humor that kept them faithfully watching the show nightly, even after he switched from NBC to CBS in September. "I love the way he makes fun of the guests and interacts with the audience by giving away free canned hams every night," said Katie H arrill. /1 All the other hosts sound so rehearsed, but Dave's so spontaneous and rude, it's really hilarious.

A whole new world Nestled in bed in the wee hours of the morning with the covers tucked under her chin, Tanis Lacey turned the pages of a favorite book and escaped to an exotic island where bonfires blazed and teenage boys roamed. Lacey, who read daily and had read Lord of the Flies three times, said everyone should read as much as possible. "There is a whole other world out there that is just waiting to be opened," she said. "Reading can help you so much. It introduces you to new things that you may not get in school. It enhances your vocabulary and it helps you think more intelligently." . Like Lacey, 27 out of 111 students polled said they read at least once a week. Although most preferred to read at home, a few read at school. "I read in study hall," said Erik Edwards. "It is boring, so I read to pass the time. Besides, I have too much to do at home and my brothers and sisters make it hard to enjoy the book." Other students read every chance they got. "I usually read a page or two between classe and sometimes I sneak in a chapter during clas while a teacher is lechiring," said Steven Freilinger. But that wasn't enough for Freilinger. "I'm taking a Contemporary Literature class at Iowa Western for fun and I have to read at least three books a week for it," said Freilinger. "Sometimes it is hard to do but it is worth it. The professor is great. Once we talked for six hours about some books and got kicked out of the coffee shop because they wanted to close." But some students found free reading to be_a waste of time. "I hate to read," said Lindie Sherman. "It is so boring and I do it all day i~ school. I don' t see the need to read more. There is a lot more to do than sit and read a book for hours. Readers claimed non readers missed out. "Reading helps cure depression and provide an escape from problems," said Sara Ogden.

Suddenly you're rudely awakened by sinister giggles commg from the front yard. You rise slowly to peer out the window and you watch helplessly as three shadows scamper down the street. Your yard is left a vast sea of for sale signs. This picture was a strange reality for more than a few students because sign stealing had slowly become a popular teenage activity. Paul Montana learned the craft of sign stealing from his father. "One day I came home and there was a street barricade in my house with an orange flashy light on top. My dad said it was for an art project, and from then on, I always wanted one for myself. " Since then, Montana had accumulated a collection of more than 20 signs. And where did he keep his signs?

Rhonda Fanning had a passion for swiping the sticky signs from the windows of fast food joints. Fanning said the ultimate prize would be to capture the giant Bullwinkle from Taco Bell. Tasha Nelson made sign stealing a monthly ritual. "Once a month a bunch of friends and I from Millard go sign stealing, " she said. Nelson said Millard was the "perfect" place for sign stealing. "It's open fields and hardly any cops," she said. You can basically do whatever you want. " The pinnacle of Nelson's career occurred on a late fall evening in November. "We were trying to unscrew a stop sign and a car drove by, so my friends and I dove into a ditch," she said. " It was full of mud, and so were we.

Cruising around "Hey you!" the guys in the blue convertible yelled, as Amy Manz and Sarah Bookout waited for the light to turn green. The girls looked back and saw two guys standing up and pointing to them. Before the light could turn, the guys starting singing, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." "We were waiting for the light to turn when we heard someone yelling at us," said Manz. "When we glanced back, we saw the guys standing up, and then they started singing to us." Instead of being flattered by the attention, Manz felt nothing but embarrassment. "It was embarrassing because other people were laughing," said Manz. "When the light turned g.ree~1, I took off, but they kept following us and smgmg. We finally lost them and went home." Cruising was a pastime for many, with 88 out of 120 students polled saying they had cruised. "If there was something else for teens to do, we Wouldn't have to cruise," said Lisa Kehm. "I rui e to meet people and hang out with friends." Like Kehm, 48 out of the 88 who cruised said they did it because there was nothing else to do, but sometimes cruisers found themselves faced with traffic problems or the threat of violence. "One time when I was out with some friends, we stopped next to a car of girls," said Kehm. "One of the girls who didn't like me got out of the car and started to pull my hair. My friend got her off of me and we took off." To cut down on such problems during the summer, the Council Bluffs police spent $7,843 on overtime patrolling Broadway. In addition, an ordinance was passed banning left turns on Broadway between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. But by April, fears about the upcoming summer forced the city council to take an even tougher stand. The council voted unanimously to ban cruising on Broadway from May to September. The ordinance required that people not pass a check point in the same direction three times within two hours from 8 p.m.to 5 a.m. In a poll of 151 students, 53 approved of the ordinance, while 98 were against it because of lack of entertainment in Council Bluffs. "The only thing people can do now is pay $5 for a movie, $20 if they want popcorn and pop, or go to a party, get drunk, and get busted by the cops," said Julie Lundstad. -Nicole Hansen and Jen Ridgway I "One time when I was out with some friends, we stopped next to a car of girls.

Life's a party Imagine yourself and a friend on a sled swishing past snow-covered trees in a frenzy of speed . All the while you're both giggling uncontrollably like children. For Kristin Scott and her friends, sledding was a common activity during the winter. "My friend Marjie Muehlig brought her camera along when we were sledding once," said Scott. "She took pictures as we were going down the hill by holding it out in front of us. I was really surprised that nothing even happened to the camera." Scott said she and her friends also liked to go rollerskating and swinging in the park, two activities she said others probably considered childish. "Sometimes people call me immature, but I just hate sitting there," said Scott. "I just love to relive my childhood. Some of my friends and I were at the Dream Playground and I was having fun, but some people were like, 'Corne on Kris!' Scott said she stays away from mainstream parties because most involved drinking. "It's really hard being there because I don't drink," said Scott. Mike Mcintosh also avoided drinking parties, but he liked to get friends together. Mcintosh said that at one party, he played a joke on one of his friends. "I remember Jennifer Barker saying that she hated locust shells," said Mcintosh, "so the day before, I went out looking for the perfect one. After we came in, I stuck it on her shoulder. When she finally comprehended what was going on, sh~ emitted a loud shriek and kept trying to hit it off, but she just pushed it into her shirt. She kept dancing around. If we would've had a camera, _we , could have won $10,000 from America's Funniest Horne Videos." Mcintosh and his friends enjoyed just sitting around and talking. "We like to make fun of people and crack jokes I about life," said Mcintosh. While some like Mcintosh threw parties just for fun, others threw parties to celebrate special occasions with their friends.

The darkness of the late morning sky gave evidence of rain that had fallen all morning. As the sun broke through the clouds, 66 teenage boys mounted their bikes. With the crack of the gun, they passed through the cones with Blaine Westervelt in the lead. Westervelt discovered mountain bike racing two years ago when he received a bike for his birthday. "I went to True-Wheel Bicycle to get information on my bike," said Westervelt. "The guy was recruiting people for racing. It sounded interesting, so I thought I'd give it a shot." Through Western Iowa Road Club he became involved in both road bike racing and mountain bike racing, with the , latter proving to be more cl:allenging due to difficult terrams.

Reaching the top of the hill, ~e spotted his first target, a foam fig~re made into the shape of a whitetail d eer. Stopping 20 y~rds from his target, he took aim, aligning his bow pins w ith the area just above the broad side of the front leg. Pulling his bow string, he released his arrow, scoring 10 points for an accurate shot. The success Chilton found in archery competition came only after many hours of practice. "If you shoot competitively, you have to practice," said Chilton. "Practicing means you're serious about the sport, and you have to be serious to be the best." Putting more than $1,000 and innumerable hours into archery over the last three years, Chilton proved his serious attitude _by winning nine first place trophies. He also qualified for the International Bow Hunter's Organization World Championships two years. "Archery is not really like any other sport," Chilton said. "You don' t get a lot of recognition for winning-just the personal satisfaction that you did your best." -Jessie Morris READY, AIM, SHOOT.

The only sound that can be heard is a distant flock of birds overhead. As they approach, it is evident that they aren't just birds, but homing pigeons, headed straight toward Bruce Schofield's house. For Schofield, this scenario was common during pigeon racing season. He was a member of ORP A (Omaha Racing Pigeons Association), and had more than 10 pigeons trained for racing distances up to 600 miles. This hobby was born three Years ago when Schofield attended an ORP A meeting with a friend . "At my first meeting with the club, I purchased a raffle ticket," Schofield said. "I won and went home with a couple pigeons." From there, Schofield began training his pigeons for competition. "When they're a couple of months old, I let them out to circle the house and neighborhood," Schofield said. "This works their muscles and builds up strength. Then I start taking them further away from home in five-mile increments." Pigeons were timed with a registration capsule placed into a specifically designed syncronized clock, which stamped the capsule for racing officials to verify. Although Schofield's pigeons hadn't placed first, he had numerous second and third place awards, and according to Schofield, he gained experience and knowledge which would help him for future competitions. As with most hobbies, pigeon racing was not without downfalls. It required discipline and financial stability. "It's fun to do but can be expensive and requires a lot of responsibility," Schofield said. "Pigeons range from $35 to $300 each, feed is around $15 a bag, and you have to keep their cages clean of n1anure and odor." -Eric Potter WINGIN' IT.

''We were just juggling and wanted to go outside," Grondek said. "Even though it was snowing, we decided to go out. By the time we got ready, the snow had turned to ice, but we stayed out." . Grondek first began jugglmg three years ago in his former school in Sioux City, where his P.E. class offered a workshop in juggling. While practicing in the gym before school, Grondek met CoreyHoelker, who would become his juggling companion. H~elker was already an accomphshed juggler and taught Grondeknewmovesand ways to improve his skills. . "It was hard work. We practiced for hours at a time," Grondek said. "But it was wortl) it. I improved a lot and learning new things was fun." Hoelker introduced him to the Omaha juggling club, "I Think it Rolled Under the Couch," where Grondek became a member . For the first half hour of their weekly meetings, the members warmed up and practiced new moves. After that, they discussed juggling news as well as upcoming shows. Grondek hoped to go to the International Juggling Convention someday. The annual festival was a competition and chance for young jugglers to meet famous jugglers. "I want to meet Anthony Gatto, a world record setter for juggling seven clubs and seven balls," Grondek said. "He's inspired me and I'd like to know how he started and what his goals are." Grondek had several opportunities to perform for a crowd. He worked at the Renaissance Faire with club members last summer. "We were teaching people to juggle," he said. "It was fun because they wanted to learn sobadly,buttheygotfrustrated easily. They thought juggling was something they could pick up and be able to do anything they want with it. But it's not.

Sigafoose also played baseball for nine years and soccer for four years, and he had two trophies to show his accomplishments in both. Playing contact sports with an artificial leg was no big deal to Sigafoose. "Playing sports isn't any harder with or without a leg," he said. "The thing that makes it hard is the way my opponents react. They give me weird looks and strange comments. And sometimes they hold back during competition, as if they're afraid they're going to hurt me." But Sigafoose had learned to overcome any negative reaction. "I don't really notice it anymore." he said. "The stupid way peopleactaboutitis usually funny tome." In fact, Sigafoose was proud that he had brought a few laughs to his sports.

This was not a typical street fight, but a familiar scene at the American College of Karate. Juhl, now a black belt, had taken lessons for seven years. "I got interested in karate by watching movies at the age of six," said Juhl. "I was really interested in the kicks and board breaking I saw." According to Juhl, students are discouraged from getting into street fights. "We don' tallow students to start fights," Juhl said. "If forced to fight, we just defend ourselves against the attacker." Juhl said some people join martial arts just to learn how to fight, but these people miss the meaning and benefits. "Besides improving bat,: ance, karate helps attitudes, Juhl said. "It makes opl ~ more courageous and sure 0 themselves. It also improves health and teaches control and cooperation." Juhl said other benefits were close relationships with students and instructors. "Everyone is like a fanul. and the instructors are good friends," he said. "I want to know as much as they do. Someday I hope to teach rnY own school ." -Jill Hunter Owens finds herself kicking it up In tight spandex bell-bottoms and a long-sleeved crop top, Tara Owens shimmied and shook her way around a stage to the tune of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, pausing for an occasional spin or kick. The practice was to perfect a dance routine, first learned in December, for a recital in May. It was just one of hundreds of dances 15-year-old Owens had learned since she began at the age of two. Owens said she started out taking ballet, tap, and jazz lessons, but she preferred jazz. "T got bored with ballet and tap," said Owens. "Jazz is still a rhallenge. Some steps are simple, but the fast ones are hard to keep up with. It's very easy to get confused." Owens said her class has a recital every May and a competition every two years. "My favorite competition was my first. I was about eight," she said. "We had poodle skirts and danced to SO's music. I think it was my favorite because we did a lot of kicks." Owens said even though she p racticed a mere two hours a week, it was enough time to prepare for recitals and competitions. "It's a fun hobby for now," she said, "but dance isn' t something I could go into professionally. I think I'll dance until I graduate, I want to move on to other things." -Bonnie 0 'Hara VOGUE.

"I wanted students to get to know me and feel comfortable in my class. I tried to answer all their questions." Frascht found herself getting to know students even better through extracurricular activities. "I'm a freshman volleyball coach and help with journalism," Frascht said. "I want to meet many students and know them individually." Like frascht, Alynn Jaeger, " English teacher, found herself involved in a variety of activities. Jaeger was often at school as early as 6: 30 and as late as 10 p.m. working with pom-pon and coaching freshman basketball. "When they interviewed me for the job, I was impressed with the interview process, the school, and the many activities it offered," said Jaeger. "So when I got the job, I knew I wanted to be involved and know the students." Before she was offered the coaching job, Jaeger spent Sunday evenings at open gym. "The first two days of practice I was in Des Moines getting my coaching endorsement, but on the third day when I went to practice, I knew a lot of the guys," said Jaeger. "I'm learning with the team even though I grew up around the game." Even though Frascht and Jaeger usually spent between 15 and 35 hours a week working with activities and planning their lessons, they occasionally had free time. "When I have time, I play in a volleyball league and I spend time with my friends," said Frascht. Along with Frascht and Jaeger, four other new teachers were added, the largest and youngest group to join the faculty in 10 years. -Nicole Hansen ~illiam Forsee.

"I went fishing the weekend before Thanksgiving as my last chance of the year," said Schmoker. "By then most people had put their boats away. When I'm out on the lake, I don't think about anything but fishing, and with almost no one else out, I'm able to relax more." With the disadvantage of an indoor job,Schmokerfeltthetirne outdoors was needed. "I don't care if I catch anything, but it gives me a chance to be outside," Schmoker said.

"I like to go camping," said Grandick. "My sister and I would make tents in the backyard all the time. I also went camping with my girlfriends in college and my husband loves to go. I love to be outdoors, especially at night. When I'm camping I think of things that need to be done but I'm forced to sit back and relax." Although Grandick and Schmoker had been enjoying the outdoors for as long as they could remember, instructor Larry Argersinger didn't discover how relaxing outdoor activity could be until a few years ago. -------------------.... "Eight years ago I got a physical showing I had high blood pressure and cholesterol," said Argersinger. "I wanted to improve my health, so I started jogging everyday. If I can't jog, I do something outside for myself." Although Argersinger's activity began as a way to improve his health, it soon became a routine. "It's like getting up and brushing my teeth in the morning; it's just automatic, even if I'm out of town," Argensinger said. "By exercising, I get a feeling I can't get any other way. " After handling discipline problems, grading papers, and preparing lessons, many teachers found the outdoors to be their best relief from stress. -Heather Neumann PUMPYOUUP.

SERIOUS GOALTENDING When students got out early one afternoon in November, teachers sat arow1d at school playing with imaginary money. They weren't fantasizing about buying new desks, equipment, technology, or new textbooks. They were spending their imaginary bucks on goals. Teachers dedicated the afternoon to brainstorming and prioritizing goals they wanted the student body to improve on during the next two to three years. To receive an accreditation from the North Ce:ntral Association (NCA), the staff used a new process called Outcomes Accreditation. In the process, the school needed to show goals were set and progress was made toward them. The first step was to conduct a study of student strengths and weaknesses. After the results were reported to the faculty at the first NCA inservice, teachers divided into small groups and brainstormed to find three goals they felt were importantforallstudentstoreach. Every faculty member was given $10 to divide and spend on goals that seemed most important to them. "I can remember that I spent my whole wad on the self directed learner goal," said instructor Linda Smoley, who was co-chair of the NCA. "I think students should be able to look at their work and say, 'This isn't finished. I can make this better.' Instead, students do assignments and turn them in, knowing a teacher will give them back and tell them how to fix them." In addition to the goal of making students more self directed, teachers decided to work on helpTalking It Out. After listening to the committee's report and dividing into groups Chris Wahl and Bill Emsick brainstorm for target areas of improvemen t. (Photo by Danita Voss) ing students become better writers and show each other more respect. "After the goals are approved, we have to write a plan of action," said instructor DougJiskoot, also a co-chair of the NCA. 'We have a few ideas and will meet in the summer to write these out. They can then begin to be implemented in the fall." -Heather Neumann Vonnie Tangeman. Draftin g, Woods 1, Computer Aided Drafting 1-2 Deborah Tettenborn.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) 162 • Ads Division I Enticed with promises of an economic boom, citizens of Pottawattamie County overwhelmingly decided in a May 17 referendum to take a gamble on gambling. No wonder voters were bedazzled by the proposal of Harvey's of Lake Tahoe to build a 1,200-passenger riverboat casino, a 15,000-square foot convention center, a 254-room hotel and a $1.5 million sports complex, all on the outskirts of Council Bluffs. For many, including students, thoughts of "We're in the Money" were hard to repress. "I think having the casino will bring more people and business to the county," Kristy Reedy said. "There will be more money to put into the schools and to better our society." Many students disagreed with the ministerial association and community members, who feared the casino would bring crime. "People say we'll have more violence, but there is already growing violence," Sarah Kehm said. "Omaha and Council Bluffs aren't the small rural towns they used to be. With the population growing all of the time, so does violence." In addition to the riverboat casino, residents voted to place more than 100 slot machines at Bluffs Run, assuring anywhere from $15 to $50 million in additional profits for the track. According to Randy Sliva of Bluffs Run, the slots would benefit the track because gambling dollars would stay in the cou nty rather than going north, where slots were already allowed . "We feel that with the riverboat casino, Bluffs Run slots, and the natural historical sites here, Council Bluffs will be an entertainment and tourist attraction in the Midwest," Sliva said. With the prospect of the new floating casino and Bluffs Run slot machines, the phrase "We're in the Money" seemed to be on the minds of gambling promoters, voters, and even students. -Heather Binns We 're in the Money • 163 ,,--- / / / / ··. ·•. · ...... . / / / / · ../ · .. / ··. /··. /·· ·· .... ··./· .. / ... / .. • ..... • .. ... ··. / ·' / / ··. · ..... ... ··. / / / / ... / · ..... · .. ... ... / · .. .. ... ... · .. ··. / ·' / / ... ·•. ... ~ ··. / / / / ... ... ··. • .... / / / / "·/"· ... ··./ ··./·· ...... ... ··. ··. / / / / .. ...

Index • 211 After months of schedule changes and big challenges that caused many to ask, "Now what are we getting into?" end of the year developments caused many to think about getting outta here. The year ended much like it had begun. Temperatures soared to 85 degrees or above 14 times during April and May, and on April 18, the temperature reached a sweltering 93 degrees. The extreme early heat made students dream of getting outta here. Counselors made their annual trips to English classes, where they informed all students they would have to register for eight block classes, including a block P.E., and after the first run of the '94-'95 master schedule, 35 percent of students had schedule conflicts. As seniors heard about the mess, many were thinking, "Thank goodness we're getting outta here." The schedule wasn't the only reason students wanted out. In April they learned unauthorized cars in the lot would be towed at the owner's expense. Underclassmen who had accumulated up to a dozen $5 tickets were suddenly forced to park along Bonham, where police issued $19.50 tickets for illegal parking. "I was mad I got a ticket from the city," Kendra Nemecek said. "My front end was only over the no parking sign a little bit. Even though I had gotten three $5 tickets, I always parked in the lot until they were going to tow." Three veteran teachers were finally getting outta here too. Counselor Richard Reeves, math instructor Orville Miller, and social studies instructor Clarence Smelser retired after serving a combined total of 105 years in the district. "I have feelings of joy and sadness about leaving the school community," Smelser said. "I've loved sharing in the lives of students and faculty." Whether retiring for good or leaving the hassles of a hot classroom or a crowded parking lot for a summer rest, faculty and students alike said, "Thank goodness we're getting outta here." -Heather Binns and Jennifer Kramer 212 • Closing - Reaching out to play in a waterfa ll at the Lied jungle, Tanis Lacey, Holly Wolfe, and Tracey Mulnix spend the day at the zoo March 21.

HURRIED Rushing from Dillards, at one end of the mall, to The Closet at the other, Amy Schaben frantically searched for a dress with only a half hour left before the mall closed. "Jeremy Doyle wasn't planning on going to the dance until he found out he was on court," Schaben said. "I went to Hy-Vee after the r AL vs. Gross game and he was working. Matt Timm pulled me to the aisle Jeremy was in, so he could ask me to the dance. I had heard he wanted to ask me, but I thought he had given up because it was the next night." Schaben was nervous about finding a dress since she would be busy at a swim meet the next day and the only chance she had to shop was the short time before the mall closed at 10 p.m. DECA students may have felt a little rushed, Timm, DECA's president, felt the dance turned out much better than previous ones. "I thought the advertising was well executed, and there was a good turn out," Timm said. "At least 50 more people came than last year, even though many left right after coronation. We made about $500 more from this year's dance than last year." For some, last minute plans came as a result of working extra hours during the Christmas rush. "I worked 35 hours a week during the two weeks of Christmas break and couldn't shop until after I got off of work on Dec. 23, " Erin Wilson said. "I felt stressed because I had so much to buy and I almost ran out of time."

Even though Doyle waited until the last minute to ask Schaben, their date seemed to be a success. "We had.a great time at the dance," Schaben said. "I'm glad we ended up going." Doyle and Schaben weren't the only students who waited until the last minute to plan for the dance.

It was supposed to be free, but we had to pay $20 for tickets because the people who got them for us charged us.

ON GOOD Rolls of tape traveled through the hands of 216 graduating seniors as dozens of them taped bottles of silly string to their arms and legs minutes before the commencement ceremony. But before graduates could march through the doors of the field house, dozens of the bottles were detected and ripped off by instructors who stood by the doors. "A teacher ripped off the bottle I had taped to the upper part of my arm," Nicholle Fastnacht said. "My family was sitting by the door and saw the whole thing. I was so embarrassed. When I sat down, I looked at my arm and there was a huge welt where the tape had been. It stung through the entire ceremony." Dozens of grads complained their secret weapons were painfullyrippedaway as they entered the gym. After a decade of noisy, unruly behavior at commenceEHAVIOR music even played as the seniors received diplomas. For the most part, precautions paid off. "The students behaved a hundred times better than past years," said instructor Carol Tiller, Senior Class sponsor. "I was extremely proud to be a part of the ceremony." Nevertheless, a few seniors managed to smuggle in enough silly string and beach balls needed to make a commotion. Surprisingly, though, they waited until every senior received a diploma and Principal Jim Lake completed a short speech before they celebrated at 9:20 p .m. "I was really shocked that everyone waited until we flipped the tassels to spray silly sting," Jennifer Krach er said.

When she read 113 pounds, her heart sank. As hunger rumbled through her stomach, she fumbled to open a bottle of diet pills. Adkin said she became overly concerned about her weight in junj.or high when she was thrown into a new social environment. "I met a lot of people and wanted to impress them," she said. "Even though people said I looked fine, I didn' t think so." Adkin reached the point where she took four diet pills daily, but ate only one small meal. She also began vomiting involuntarily, fasting for days at a time, and exercising obsessively. "After eating I ran until I was exhausted," she said. "One time I could barely make it in the door before I calla psed and fell asleep." Adkin wasn't the only student to experience the trauma of an eating disorder. Rene Jones* became bulimic to win the approval of her parents. Standing 5'3" and weighing 105 pounds, Jones took drastic steps to lose weight after enduring constant criticism about her looks from her parents. "I wasn't good enough for my parents," she said. "The pressure built up so much I felt like I couldn't control anything but my weight. I made up in my mind that I would stay skinny no matter what. I vomited anywhere from four to five times a day." With support of a friend, Jones brought her bulimia under control without hospitalization, but some weren't so lucky. For Deena Smith*, a bout with bulimia ended in Mercy Hospital. "When I binged, I would eat anything I could," she said. "I ate non-stop. I once ate a bag of chips and a carton of ice cream." To purge the food, she eventually began to vomit between eight and nine times a day. Finally, her brother caught her vomiting after dinner. "I had threatened I would loose weight somehow," Smith said, "even if I killed myself doing it." Smith was admitted to rehabilitation for two and half months. "Being in treatment was hard," she said. "I missed out on a lot." Although she still occasionally got the urge to vomit, Smith felt she had regained control. "Sometimes I want to run to the bathroom," she said, "but my therapist has me on a good diet, and I have it under control." -Nora Greer lt'fhesenames were changed at the request of the sources.

In a poll, one third of the students said they didn' t eat breakfast, and one third said a typical lunch was a cookie or ice cream. "I gave up eating breakfast in eighth grad e," Jones said. "I wanted to get up later because I was tired from gymnastics, and the habit stuck." Jeff Kelly was also an unhealthy eater. His pattern, however, was to ea t cereal for breakfast, fries for lunch, and no supp er. Kelly said he didn' t have time to ea t supper because he went to work directly from school. "Eating's not one of my priorities. " he said. "School, work, and n1oney are."

"I tried to take notes in class, but I was seeing double. Next thing I knew Mr. Lake was there and I was in the office." Petersen was suspended for 10 days, but he agreed to be evaluated by a psychiatrist, which shortened his punishment to five days of suspension. "I was scared what my baseball coaches would say," he said. "I shouldn't have come to school, butwhenyou'redrunk, youdon't care what you do." Although few students came to school drunk, it wasn't unusual to drive drunk. More than 45 percent of seniors and 33 percent of juniors polled admitted to driving under the influence. For Ben Hassett, the fun of driving drunk came to a halt when he got caught. "I got my license revoked until I'm 18, six months probation, 100 hours community work, and I had to attend a course for drug and • Student Life designed by Heather Neuma nn alcohol rehabilitation," he said. Despite all the public service announcements and media a ttention on alcohol related deaths of Omaha teens, an even larger percentage of students admitted to regularly riding with a drunk driver. Polls showed that more than 55 percent of all upperclassmen and more than 40 percent of freshmen had knowingly been passengers in a car with a drunk driver. "It's the spur of the moment thing. You don't think it could be that bad until you actually ride with a drunk driver," Danielle Bennett said. "Besides, they're your friends, you trust them to get you home safely." Many students who had driven under the influence said they knew when they were sober that driving drunk was dangerous, but once the booze kicked in, all their fears disappeared.

After being searched, she had to fill out official forms and stay in a temporary jail cell for three hours. The officials then called her mother to pick her up. "My mom was so mad that she didn't even want to ride in the same car with me, so I had to ride home with my friend's mom," Brown said. But despite being caught and punished by her parents, Brown continued to shoplift. "I shoplift about once a month to get free things," she said. "I'm not really scared of getting caught." Brown was not the only student caught committing illegal acts. Out of 170 students polled, 32 said they had been caught for either shoplifting or vandalizing, but of those caught, half were given no more than a warning. Such lack of harsh punishment encouraged some students to break the law without fear of getting caught. With nothing better to do on As adults quit, more teens enjoy. . .

"By 2 a.m. the floor of the food area is really greasy, so I put degreaser on the whole floor, then hand scrub and squeegee it. When I'm done, it's about 3 a.m. and I'm really tired so I go home to bed." Mass said one thing that made late nights pass easily was friendliness among co-workers. "Sometimes I think of other things I could be doing," she said, "but I get along with everyone, and they cheer me up." Mass agreed with 59 percent of employed students polled that friendship among co-workers was important to job satisfaction. In contrast with Mass, Mandi Ziegler, a cashier at an Amoco gas station, found her job a drag due to lack of co-workers. "There's absolutely no one to talk to because it's only me and the mechanic," she said. "He's back doing his thing, so if there are no customers, I have nothing to do but guard the register."

Dawson admitted working late hours took a toll on his performance at school, but like many others, he said his work didn't suffer much. "I think if a teacher knows a student has a job, he'll be lenient with the work and let them get away with more," Dawson said. Some teachers agreed they were more lenient with working students but didn't feel that lowering standards was right. "Education used to be about the three R's and ABC's . Now it's dominated by the two D's: delete and delute," instructor Mary Gepner said. "We take from what we used to teach and water it down to make it easier, mostly because students are working." While some found working long hours at night made things harder the next day, Shawna Becker found her hours at the Red Lion Inn suffocating not only her work, but also her social life.

Having time for friends was no problem for AubriForrester, who worked 10hourweeksatHy-Vee. "I like my job and the money." she said.

He taps the horn and comes to the door. He is greeted by your anticipating expression and the hesitant look of your parents. Maybe he does look a little older than you had said. He hands you a bouquet of flowers and your mother a rose. He shakes your dad's hand and exchanges small talk. Then you leave for your date. Many girls said they would die for· a date like that, but most seemed to think only an older guy could pull it off. "Older guys have cars, jobs, and money that make it easier for them to take you out," Mellow Ackerman said. "They can stay out later without having to answer to their parents. Younger guys have to find rides and need to tell parents everything." Although money and cars were important, girls said the best thing about dating older guys was the respect they gave their dates.

According to more than 65 percent of students polled, most parents remained calm about accepting a dating age difference. Amber Duncan, 17, and her boyfriend Russ, 25, dated for about two years after they met over their personal computers. Despite the difference, her parents didn't seem too concerned. "There had to come a time when Russ would meet my parents," Duncan said. "He came over and things went well. They talked to him and then we went to a movie. My parents just told me they thought he was a little old. At first, they made us go out with other couples because they didn't want us alone, but we eventually went out alone." Even though many girls were attracted to older guys, most agreed only a guy who treated them right was worth dating. -Erin Summy !IE!P/11/(/ OtfT.

ABIG A IDS, sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and the desire for self resp ect--these forces convinced a growing number of sh1- d ents to remain abstinent. Forty-seven percent of boys and 53 percent of girls polled said they were virgins. ''I've decided to stay a virgin until I'm m arried ," Colette Johnson said. "It's mostly because of my belief in God." She also didn' t want to disappoint her parents or herself. "It's too emotionally difficult for a teen to have sex," Johnson said. "That's a big commitment and it makes it hard to break up." Although Johnson was not embarrassed about her virginity, it wasn ' t som e thing sh e would scream off the top of a building. "There is pressure from the outside," Johnson said, "but I also think p eople respect my decision." Jason Schlotman said he felt no pressure to have sex before he was read y. "Remaining a virgin is a value I picked up from my family," said Schlotman, whose mother became pregnant when she was only 17. "She had plans to go to college, but ended up being a waitress for Break-ups can start . .. HO ICE a while. She had a hard tim e with two kids and one income." Schlotman said he didn' t want to make the same mistake and hoped to stay a virgin until he was married. Other students who had become sexually active regretted it. "The person I had sex with, I didn't love," Dawn H artley said . Realizing that she had made a mistake, Hartley decided to wait until marriage to have sex again. "You should only have sex with the one you 're going to spend the rest of your life with," she said. Before Jillian Kading and her boyfriend started having sex, they discussed the issue openly. "We talked about all the consequences," Kading said. "We discussed how we would handle it if I ever got pregnant." Kading felt not everyone was mature enou gh to deal with sex. "A lot of people just do it because they want to or feel they have to," Kading said. "They would have no idea what to do if they got pregnant or got AIDS." Although many were not concerned abou t the dangers of sex, a growing number had decided to hold on to their chastity belts just a little longer in today's "everyone is doing it" society. -Sa rah Scheer lifetime of friendshi After telling her boyfriend of a year that their rela tionship was over, Dan ielle Bennett figured she would never see him again, but soon the phone started ringing, and the hellos in the hall became more frequent. "It took a couple weeks before we started talking again," Bennett said, "but I'm glad because I would rather be friends than never talk to him again ." Many realized how much they missed the friendship of their ex and found themselves calling each other shortly after the break-up. "When my boyfriend broke up with me," Ka tie O'Connor said, "I couldn't hold a grudge against him. I'm just a forgiving person." Missing the closeness of a friendship kept some in touch. "He listened to me and gave me good advice when 1 had some family problems," Julianna Dodson said. "It didn't work as a relationship, but we cared too much not to remain best friends." Like Dodson, many students found that even though a romantic relation hip didn't work out, a friendship could continue to thrive. -Li 'n Bemer Love Notes • art by Katie Harrill THINGS "1~tu~­ tai,~de- ~4~~ WE de~endetu SAID ado«tal~ 46~U#te<t~ C4ptta.t punu~­ ~ i4, t6e ~ ABOUT THE JORI ES JI,,.~,,·,,,,.,.,,// ~~· ,, OF OUR DAY -~ed~~ Strucl< Out Eighth strike in 23 years cancels World Series For the first time in 40 years, the World Series was canceled.

The 24- 17 victory over Miami in the Fed Ex Orange Bowl gave the Huskers a 13-0 season and Coach Tom Osborne his first national championship. The victory was sweeter since the team prevailed despite Tommie Frazier being out nearly all season with a reoccurring blood clot in his leg and back up quarterback Brook Berringer missing games with a collapsed lung. Q Should Tommie Frazier have been able to start the Orange Bowl? Baby Boom Time magazine reported that every year half a million teenagers have babies with half dropping out of school and entering a downward spiral into poverty. Republican sponsored legislation would deny benefits to unmarried mothers under the age of 18, eliminating payments for some 4.5 million children. In President Clinton's plan, every mo th er would be required to identify the child's father before she could collect welfare. Fathers who failed to pay child support would have their drivers' license revoked. Q Do you think welfare for unwed mothers under 18 should be denied? A "No, because Brook Berringer had been playing most of the season while Tommie Frazier was injured . I don't think they would have made it to the Orange Bowl w ithout Brook Berringer playing in the first place." "Yes, because Tommie Frazier is a good quarterback.

Explosion of Terror Oklahoma City bombing kills 167 and shocks the nation One minute workers were going about the usual business of the day at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, and the next, their lives were blown apart. A crudely made bomb of fuel and fertilizer exploded at 9:02 a.m. April 19, ripping a crater from the street to the roof of the ninestory building and causing concrete to collapse in a roar to the street. Rescue efforts began immediatedly. Police, firefighters, National Guard troops, nurses, doctors, and volunteers risked their lives in the unstable building for 16 days. Rescue workers walked out for the last time May 5. The bomb killed 168 people, includng three adults whose bodies were not recovered until after total demolition of the building. Nineteen of the victims were children. Less than 48 hours after the bombing, the nation was shocked to learn the bomb was made by American citizens, not international terrorists. The first arrested suspect, Timothy McVeigh, was found in jail on charges of driving an unregistered car and carrying an unregistered handgun. Arrested an hour after the bombing, McVeigh was to have been free d from jail hours before he was turned over to the FBI in connection with the bombing. McVeigh and his army buddy, Terry Nichols, faced the death penalty if convicted of the bombing, but the search continued for other suspects. Following the bombing, President Clinton said the hateful talk of right wing extremists fueled the violent feelings toward the government that led to such crimes against innocent people.

Amedure, a homosexual, went on the show to reveal his crush on a man he had met in his apartment complex. Schmitz had agreed to come on the show to meet a secret admirer, whom he assumed was a woman. Although he remained calm on the show, Schmitz later said he was shocked when Amedure was introduced as his admirer. Jones stated that all guests knew the secret admirers could have been members of the same or opposite sex. Television commentators said talk shows had deteriorated into a world of sleaze where people expose weird personal experiences to millions of viewers. Q How do you feel about the topics on talk shows, and do you think they show corruption of our society? A "I definitely think society is corm pt and talk shows display the truth to a point. Some talk shows cover good topics that are important, but others have lost sight of quality programming." ~~aiifu "Some sho.,vs are realistic and related to everyday life, but others are like tabloids.

(Photo by Heather Olson) E erie darkness clung to the enormous Four Seasons Auditorium in Cedar Rapids where 11 girls lay on the cold hard floor and thought about the state tournament that would take place later that day. "I thought about how big it was and how far it was from one side of the court to the other," Sara Borman said. "We hadn't practiced or even held a ball for two days and we were limited on practice time." For Brandi Christie, the tournament was the last time she would compete with the team. "Going to State was a good way to end the year and my high school career," she said. "We had a good team, and I'm glad we got that reward for all our hard work." The girls battled Clinton for a 2-2 tie going into the fifth and final game, when the Lady Lynx held theiropponents to a 14-10 lead until Clinton came back with some powerful serves to bring the score to 14-15. "It was like in a movie when a scene is in slow motion," Christie said. "I was in the front row and I saw the girl go up to svvipe the ball, butit waslikeit wasn't really happening." As the ball was tipped over the net and the final point decided, the girls remained paralyzed as they slowly realized it was all over. "We were frozen," Courtney Heuwinkel said. "We couldn't believe it. We were ahead 14-10 and vve let them do it. Everybody's heads just dropped and most of us cried. We went outside to wait to go back to the hotel, and everyone started screaming at the top of their lungs. Through the whole night, the team talked about what we should have done and why we lost." S taring in awe, the fans gasped as the Lady Lynx smashed the ball in the faces of the Millard North team ye t again to bring the score to a devastating 15-0. "People came up to me after the game and asked me why we beat them so bad when they were supposed to be so good," Tonia Tauke said. "The Millard North team just fell apart. Our adrenaline was running high and we were working together really well because we wanted to win this game so much." In the following games, the girls hammered their opponents, winning by 15-1 and then 15-13. For a handful of the girls, the motivation was stronger than the usual game. "Some of us played under the Millard North coach on our River City teari1," Tauke said. "She is so intimidating and she tries to play mind games with us. I wanted to win this game as revenge on her for all the wayssheputusdown when we played for her. I wanted to show her that a program that has fun and plays well is better than one thatis hard and not enjoyable." But Christine Lam expressed mixed feelings about the victory against the girls from Millard North. "Even though we wanted revenge, personally I fel t bad because of the way she would treat her players," Lam said. "I knew she would take her anger out on them and I knew how that felt. Mr. May tells us what we do well and what we can do to improve. He gets his idea across and is still helpful and sincere."

With sweat dripping off weary faces, the boys sat in silence on the locker room b enches. Holding Bellevue West to 28 points and scoring in the first half pushed spirits to new heights as they listened to Coach Wahl's instructions. "First half we played with a lot of emotion," Ryan Brown said. "We were read y on offense to score first before the opponents. Our defense was pumped up because they hadn't been scored on after the first quarter. We were all excited because we scored in the first half on a powerhouse Metro tea1n." l Al thou gh the game was going well, the team knew it wasn't over yet. "Coach told us not to g ive up yet," Brian Anderson said. "He told us not to curl up and die. Our spirits were high and we kept trying to help each other stay enthusiastic." However, the team's high expectations fell short in the third quarter. The Thunderbirds' offense suddenly errupted, leaving the Lynx's defense behind. "Once Bellevu e got momentum, it was hard for us to get it back," Dan Mohatt said . "Defen - sively we were missing tackles and we were just worn down, and our offense couldn't get the ball moving like w e did in the first half.

Amy Schaben, Joann Dan burg, Rosanne Schwarz, and Marie Wickman sp ent a wild night before their state meet a t Fort Dodge. "We were bored at the hotel so we started d oing things to keep us busy," Danburg sa id . "We turned everything in the roo m , including th e tables and chairs and the T.V., upside d own. We stayed awake until about midnight ea ting cheese balls and bread ed mushrooms that we ordered from the ho tel restaurant." According to Schwarz, the girls had been warned to b e o n th e ir best behavior because of how badly they had teepeed their coaches' room at Districts, but the warning didn't keep them from making a mess of their own room. "The four of us were ga th ered around the bathroom sink shaving," Wickman said. "We got shaving cream all over the mirror and the floor. Later, we started throwing rolls of toilet paper around--we pretty much teepeed the whole entire roo1n." But the nig ht was young and there was more fun to be had . According to Schaben, the girls had a fruit fight with oranges and grapefruit before they finally decided to settle d own and rest for the big day ahead. Despite the wild night, the girls swam hard and finished 22nd out of 65. Any old tean1 could get together at a senior's house for a nice pasta dinner, but only the boys' swim team would turn tha t pasta dinner into a head shaving party. When Tim White, Chad Holmes, Marshall Steffensen, and Shaun Hayes got together, they knew that shaving their head s would cut their swimming time by about five seconds, but they wanted more than decreased times--they wanted to get a reaction.

However, Steffensen, who probably received the strangest do, said the other gu ys kept shaving more and more hair off and creating new styles until his hair was completely gone. "We put different styles into Marshall's hair, like a mohawk and a monk look, " Hayes said. "I had a Superman symbol, but I shaved it off before Districts."

I guess tha t proved that we got overconfidentandtl1ey wanted it more than we did." Varsity goal keeper Jennifer Hansen said the team had a difficult time executing its game plan. "At the beginning of the game we were focusing on our offense, so our d efense letup a little, and that was all it took for LC to score two goals," she said. "If one thing wasn't failing, some thing else was. We just couldn't get it together." But hopes of capturing a city soccer title weren't entirely d ashed. "We're a really young team. Most people on our team have played together since they were seven or eight," Driggins said. "We're losing only three seniors, so I think a city title in the future isn't out of our reach."

"When we're standing in line for drills and warm-ups, w e talk about things like families and boyfriends." Fun and friendships proved to be part of a potent combination for the successful JV squad, w hich finished the season 11-4-5, the best JV record in school history .

"When my teacher lectures for an hour and a half, it's really hard for me to keep my eyes open," Hunter said. "When I start drifting off, he often calls on me. It makes me feel bad because I don't know what's going on." Loss of concentration while teachers lectured was one of the biggest problems students found with the 90-minute all block schedule. In a poll of 171 students, only 21 preferred the schedule. "The attention span for the average American teenager is only 38 minutes," Alison Eggers said. "I really think that the administration needs to take a step back and look at the situa tion from the student's point of view." Other students found they had difficulty remembering assignments and explanations over the extra day between classes. "When I have math on Thursday and don't have it again until Monday, my notes don't make any sense when I do my homework," Caroline McSorley said. Some teachers found forgotten assignments were not the only problem. According to Robert Pettepier, ma th instructor w ho helped in the attendance office, skipping, absences, and truancies d efinitely increased this year. "I think the extended period of • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher time is the reason more students skip," Larry Kenny, history instructor said. "In two blocks you can drive to Des Moines and back." The only major advantage students found with block classes was off campus P.E. "With off campus P.E. we were able to do things that were not available at school," Katie Malmberg said. "It seems to make the day go by faster ." Off campus activities included golf, bowling, use of Y.M.C.A. facilities, roller skating, aerobics, bicycling, hiking, archery, self defense, fishing, and canoeing. "I do like the blocks in classes like science, art, and P.E.," Jason Westphal said. "I like the longer classes because I have more time to do hands-on assignments and talk to my teachers, and I have less homework to take home." All in all, sixty-seven percent of students polled said a mixed schedule with some 45-minute calsses and some 90-minute classes would be the best compromise. Jeff Kalar summed up the feelings of many students when he said "Classes like P.E are great beca~se on the block we have more time to actually do things, but in math and foreign language we need the repetition of every day classes." • Crasl1 landing.

The ba sic requirements for the world history task consisted of writing a Greek play, casting ro les, des i gning costumes, building scenery, and performing the play. "The tasks were a lot more difficult than a regular assignm ent," Cameron sai d . "A l ot of the time we were int eracting with a vari e ty of stud ents, so we h ad to t a ke everyo ne's ideas and pull th em toget h er to make a finished project." History was n ' t the only class in which stud ents had to comp lete a performance based task. "For calculus, we had to wri te example problems using interest rates and create o ur own c hap ter like yo u'd find in a regular m ath book," Chris Reese said. "We h ad to make sure that we included every little detail and step in our examples." Before stud ents began performance based tasks, detailed instructions were given and a specific s t andard of grading, called a rubric, was established. "We we re given very explicit instructions and were graded in several areas on a 4,3,2,1 sca le, with a 4 meaning th at we had successfully demonstrated an outcome," H eather Aughe said. "I felt confident knowing the teacher's expectations before actually begi1rning the tasks." In an Oral Communications class, stud ents were assigned the task of developing a pil ot s how for a new childr e n's television series. "Our target audience was children between the ages of 6 and 12 years o ld, and it had to be entertaining as well as educationa l," Wendy Troff said. The students were then given a role to play, such as a producer, videograp her, prop manager, costume designer, or actor. "Everyo ne really worked together as a team to get the script written and th eir own jobs done," Troff said. "Our finished product con t ained a title, music, sound effects, a set, costumes, and closing credits." Overall, students felt that completina such tasks was essential for 0 entering the real world. "T he old style tes ts don ' t get you anywhere," Aughe said, "but with the tasks you actually step into a role for a specific job and take on the r e spon - sibilities a nd difficulties that come with that job."

Biology students slipped wands past clear plastic vials filled with energetic fruit flies. previous class p eriod, but then the class turned into an hour of lecturino- o After the flies reacted to the anesthetic, the students carefully placed them on a microscope, moving quickly enough to count the number of male and female, w hite and wild combinations. A combination of complicated tasks like the genetic fruit fly lab and tests over massive amounts of material distinguished the seven advanced placement courses from others. In addition to five-page labs and two-page formal lab write-ups, A.P. Biology students took a test every two weeks over three or four chapters of more than 100 pages. To help stud ents understand reading material, they were given a five-page packet and were ad vised to spend three hours out of class studying to every hour spent in class. "I spend more time out of class working on A.P. Biology than I have in any class," Brian Norman said. "I read all the chapters that go along with the next test. It takes about an hour to read one section of the chapter. When Mr. Forsee lectures, I take lots of notes, and I sp end about an hour studying the chapter and my notes on the night before the test." A.P. Biology was not the only course w hich required hard work and extra time outside of school. According to Erik Edwards, A.P. Calculus students started each session like a regular ma th class in which they checked assignments from the and note taking. "Because the concepts are more ad vanced and complicated, it may take me a couple of days to understand how to do it," Edwards said. "We get about 30 problems to work on every day, but we get only a little bit of class time to work on them. The simple problems take only a minute or two, but the harder ones take me up to 10 minutes. I spend about half an hour a night studying for tests." Tasks and tests also challenged A.P. History students. In one assignment, they were required to create a character from a historical period and write a journal from that character's point of view. Although that task required thought and creativity, those who chose to take the A.P. test found it to be the most challenging part of the course. "The test had 80 multiple choice questions which were over 200 years of history, and there were three essay questions." Dawn Coulter said. "We got out of first and second block to take it." A.P. classes could bring abou t sleepless nights and challenging days, but students felt they were worth it. "It's a good idea to take an A.P. class if you plan to go to college," Nate O'Toole said, "because it gives you an idea of what college might be like."

For Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) students, d esigning house plans became a reality. "We were basically on our own," Saar said. "We had to create and design every thing about our house, including the windows, doors, stairs, kitchen, and bathroom." The five-week project required much research . "We used books with samples of various house plans that showed us how to begin our own houses," Justin Ruby said. As students went along, they found there was a lot more to designing rooms than just drawing little squares and putting labels on them. "At times it got difficult," Adam Tanner said. "When we were designing the bedrooms, we had to make sure there was room for at least a single bed, dresser, and closet space." CAD students felt this class prepared them for college or an occupation in some field of technology. W ith clay gun in hand, Sarah Stevens • began to sculpt hair follicles on the miniature head she had created in her ceramic class. Students began this project with only a lump of clay, rolling pins, and metal sculpting tools. "It was difficult trying to make a round face and mold facia l features like the nose, eyes, and hair," Stevens said. Techniques such as coiling, carving, and working on the wheel were tau ght before students began their projects. "After we learned some of the techniques, w e sculpted a pot, a head, a car, and a candy dish," Joanna Hanke said, "but the head was the hardest because we had to mold the eyes and nose to look like a real face." Many students agreed that the class w as m ore than they had bargained for. "It was hard going into a class like ceramics because I had never tried it before," Hanke said. "It got easier as I went on and go t to work with the clay. Now it seems more like an extracurricular activity than an actual class." • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher • Mecl1anicallLI inclinecl.

While it was a nice day outside, the pressure of an upcoming deadline was building inside. Facing printer back-ups, computer shutdowns, lost or unfinished stories and layouts, and a broken waxer, the two editors needed to get away. "We climbed through the windows and onto the ledge to enjoy one of the first nice days of the year," Harrill said. On the last four days before a final printer deadline, it was common for editors to still be staring at their computer screens long past midnight. "A week before deadline you basically have to drop everything to get stories placed and pages laid out," editor Joanne Whalen said. "I even had to take a computer home once to get all the work done." Despite their stress, Echoes staffers had many successes, winning 4 awards in the National Gold Circle contest, 21 in two state contests, 6 from the National Quill and Scroll, and 13 from UNO. W ithout taking time to set her books • down, Courtney Brummer ran into Room 234 yelling, "Smoley, we have to talk! There is so much more to this story!" A week earlier, Echoes staffers discussed ideas for their first issue and decided to do a follow up story on the bond issue that failed in June. "Everybody had a story assigned to them, including me, but I said I would do it with som.eone," Brummer said, "and Jason Steger said he would help me. A group of us went to Carter Lake school first, then to Tee Jay, but it wasn't until after w e went to Pusey that I got upset." The reporters saw horribly crowded classrooms and inefficient heating and cooling systems at Pusey. "I just about keeled over," Brummer said. "The rooms were so small and hot, and the library was in the hallway; it was awful. I was upset and happy all at the same time. I was upset because I hated seeing how limited an education the kids were getting, but happy because I could show the community what they had turned down." After finishing the first story and turning the bond issue into a series for the Echoes, Brummer w ent on to win many awards, including the Iowa H igh School Journalist of the Year. • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher ...

The room was silent except for the clicking of computer keys and a soft w hisper. The tension was so thick it could be cut w ith a knife. Suddenly, out of now here, Jill Hunter, an editor on the o ther side of the room, blurted out, "Jen, how was your ho t date this weekend?" Shouts of laughter filled the room as Kracher, the editor-in-chief, blushed, giggled, and began the humorous story of her blind date. The staff found tha t little things could change the entire mood . "When you're busy a t deadline and your friends aren't, they can be a big help," Sarah Scheer said. "Just d oing little things helps a lot, but it helps most when they make you lau gh as the stress builds up."

She wasn't able to scream before the two cars collided - because it wasn't in the script. The "collision" h ad to be repeated four times to get the angles just right. Those shots would be edited until a commercial masterpiece was formed for Montang Auto Body Shop, earning the Insider $30. Barker said they wanted the two cars to run into one another, but they didn't know exactly how to do it. Finally, an idea sprang to mind. Barker sat in the passenger seat filming the scene while Muehlig drove her car and Ben Lake drove toward them in Barker's car. "No one cared because the cars were already dented," Barker said. "There was a lot of space between us, although it didn't look like it." This was the fist year the staff produced commercials, so when adviser Marsha Grandick brought it up, Barker used the body shop commercial as a way to prove she could take on ad production. "I was excited because it turned out just like I wanted," she said. I t started out as a simple mission for Insider staffers Matt Jennings, Tim Wright, and Ben Roth. Seek and shoot a National Guard Armory. But the unsuspecting teens had no idea what was in store. When Roth was assigned a story on ROTC, he wanted to film at the Armory, and Jennings and Wright went along. When they arrived, they didn't want to get in trouble, so they followed a UPS man inside. "We saw a guy dressed in camoflage and shiny shoes," Jennings said. "We asked to talk to someone. I knew then we were in for it." A recruiter then came and invited the boys into his office. "He took u s further and further into the place," Jennings said . "I started wardering if we'd ever get out." The recruiter admitted not knowing about ROTC, so he filled them in on the Guard and had them sign card s. Roth didn't know what h e was signing, but he found out la ter when a recruiter called him. "I'm glad the card was just for info," he said. "But he keep s calling and wanting to set up an appointment to talk to me. He asks a lot of questions. I tell him the Guard's not for me, but he doesn't listen." Roth said he never got to film that armory, so a couple days later he went to the recruiter's office in the mall and completed his mission . • Clubs & Classes ~ designed by Jennifer Kracher •Close-up.

She knew she had to convince the judge that she was innocent. For the mock trial team, Morris played the role of Jerry Ryan, a young person accused of abusing an elderly cousin. • "I was supposed to be a free-loader in trouble with the law," Morris said. "I couldn't help but let my own personality show, and I think that helped my character seem more innocent." But as Morris tried to prove her innocence, her teammate, Jennifer Ridgway tried just as hard to prove Morris' guilt. "It was difficult to prove the defendent guilty because the case was stacked against the prosecution," Ridgway said. "The evidence was circumstancial and the facts didn' t prove anything." Although Morris was finally found guilty, the team's final place was based on performances, rather than legal merits. "One time this guy kept asking me the same question over and over," Stephen Freilinger said. "It was annoying, but I got more points for keeping my composure." With all the convicting and defending, the mock trial team placed first at Districts and eleventh a t State. Turning the key in the ignition again, Coach Jane Nelson tried hopelessly to get the Budget Rental van started after a speech and debate competition in Omaha. "Miss Nelson kept asking everyone if we did anything to the van," Jeff Marsh said. "She asked us all about three times." Finally, Nelson decided to call Budget Rental for road service, but all their workers had been sent home. Meanwhile, the members ran back and forth across the street to a bowling alley. Later they learned N elson's parents had driven up and down the same street looking for them. "We waited and they never showed," Jamie Blaha said. "We weren't sure what to do, so we called Jessie Morris's and Jennifer Ridgway's parents. Finally, after an hour and a half, they all came." Allin all it was a night from hell.

At Regionals, the team's project, a vaudeville skit, included singing, juggling, and ventriloquism .. Because the team hadn't practiced the entire skit, it went three minutes over the eight-minute limit. "We didn't work as hard as possible, and we slacked a lot because we thought of Regionals as practice for State," Ben Nourse said. "I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't a sure thing." Through the year, the students had been told by their coach they would automatically qualify because of the lack of high school teams. But instead, the team was penalized 90 points because of the extra time and finished in last place. The second team from AL actually finished with negative points, but because they were the only team in their division, they qualified for State, where they finished fourth. "We had 44 points, but 65 were deducted," Erik Edwards said. "It was unbelievable that we went under and still qualified." Despite the mediocre finishes, the vaudeville team members said they would do it again. "Sometimes we'd work 15 to 20 hours a week on it," Nourse said, "but I like the creativity and the challenge in it." ''What does a bun have to do with the • First An1end1nent?" Concentrating on memorizing the five parts of the first amendment, Academic Decathlon members told Beth Hansen that a hamburger bun would help. Amendment One, they said, rhymed with bun, so they drew a picture of a bun. The hamburger in it was divided into five sections, one for each of the five rights. "Amendment Two, the right to bear arms, rhymed with shoe," Hansen said. "We drew a gun upside down to look like a shoe." The group used such word associations to _memor~ e facts of government, art, science, and other topics tested m D1stncts. "At first I thought it was really dumb ~d it wasn' t going to stick," said Kate Gronstal one of the 13 Academic Decatha.lon members. "I was pretty amazed' when it worked and I remembered everything."

"I thought the lock-in was the most fun thing we've done as a group this year," Sarah Bragg said. "It gave us a chance to have fun with people we sometimes get really competitive with." Most members felt it gave them a chance to get to know fellow members on a more personal level. "When I first started concert choir, I felt kind of out of place with the upperclassmen," Jayne Dawson said. "But after I wentto the sleepover, I got to know everyone and I felt more a part of the group." Some found the gathering was not only a bonding experience, but a chance to enjoy a variety of activities. "You could play volleyball, watch movies in different rooms, sing on the karaoke machine, or stay up until 2:30 a.m. sharing gh ost stories in the courtyard," Breanne Schweer said. "It w as so awesome because you could do basically whatever you wanted." I magine getting your dress caught in your • pantyhose or having your pant seams split while performing for an audience of 40 people. Such embarrassing moments were common among New Design Show Choir performances. "I did a Russian during our first performance," Tom Jen sen said. "When I was done, I heard something rip, and I thought it was my pants, but I kept singing and tried not to draw any attention to myself. After the performance I asked everyone if my pants were split, and they said no. I was relieved, but something still felt wrong. Finally, I figured out my boxer shorts h ad split open." Some said they weren't as fortunate as Jensen had been. "I was singing at the Show Choir Reunion," Danna Kehm said. "Somehow my dress got stuck in my p antyhose. I performed the entire show without realizing I was exposing my butt to the whole audience." All choir members dreaded such flushed filled moments, but they realized it was just part of the risk they took as avid performers. "Everyone messes up, "Kim Bolton said. "You just keep going, no matter what happens. Like they say, the show must go on."

"Other teams looked perfect because they came straight from their busses, but we were all wet and muddy after our first p erformance. Color guard girls are supposed to be beautiful and glamorous, but we were far from it!" After slipping in the mud, Denise Olmstead felt anything but glamorous. "I was running during the routine and I hit a muddy spot, slipped, and fell to my knees," she said. "Luckily, I made a quick recovery, but I still felt extremely stupid." Despite all the wet hair and muddy clothes, the color guard managed to get a Division I rating at LC. Trailing after the already performing marching band, Josh Eveloff was pushed onto the field by band mothers after they plopped his large band hat, stuffed with socks and gloves, back on his head . "They told me, 'Go! You can catch up if you hurry!' about a minute after the band had started," said Eveloff, whose hat had a h abit of falling down and covering his eyes. Getting dressed in their uniforms was an interesting and difficult process for some band members. "You have to teach the freshmen, sometimes even dress them," Jason Lehmer said. "There was a certain order to dress in, and if you forgot one thing, you had to take everything off." For som , dressing was v n a dangerous pro ess. "Anna Barron was jumping around trying to get her pants on when she slipped and hit her knee on a table," Richard Halse said. "An ambulance came and took her to the hospital h alf-dressed." Tired of wearing the same old uniforms every year, veteran drum majors found ways to spice up their appearances. "Matt Timm, Jeff Koontz, and I all war box rs under our white pants," Dan Dawson said. "yvhile we were directing, everyone could see the Mickey Mouse and polka-dot sh orts through the uniforms."

Many thoughts ran through their minds before they met the family they were about to spend the night with at the Music Festival in Beatrice. • "We had to sleep in an old scary attic," Jurgens said. "We heard noises, and an old rocking chair gave us the creeps. We finally ended up falling asleep at 5:30 a.m. and having to get up at 6:30 a.m." A scary home wasn't the problem for Jeff Meredith, Erik Edwards, and Mike Mcintosh, but they found their host brother a little eerie. "The family was friendly, with the exception of the son," Meredith said. "The whole time we were there, he didn't say a word. On his door there was a poster of a bloody swastika. He stayed in his room listening to the first 10 seconds of the same CD over and over again." While some braved the nights with host families, Jenny Burgess and Sarah Stevens chose to rent a hotel room. "Sara's dad came to Beatrice with us to see the final concert. He rented the rooms for us," Burgess said. "It was pretty fun; we didn't do much besides watch TV and play card games." Whether they stayed in strange old houses or got their own room, all the musicians got up the next morning and played in the festival. E xchanging their dew soaked sneakers, grungy sweatshirts, and mud-caked jeans from marching band season, musicians slid into clingy formal dresses, high heels, tuxes, and wingtips for the band's annual dinner concert April 1. "During the fall when we are marching, we get used to seeing everyone in sweats and tennis shoes," Jessica Powers said. "When I arrived at school, I hardly recognized anybody. You never get to see people you're with everyday look so sophisticated." Musicians were amazed not only with their own transformation, but also with the gym's transformation into a lavishly decorated candlelit restaurant depicting the theme "A Night in Hollywood." But students Jeff Koontz and Lane Knauss felt the concert wouldn't have happened without the help of a few dedicated people. "About five or six parents and students worked a total of 20 hours two days before," Koontz said. "It was hard work, but well worth the satisfaction we felt when people were amazed at what we had done." Orchestra & Jazz Band written by Jenni Underwood • Going to extremes, actors and mimes As Naomi Leiserowitz stepped into the • crowded gym of Wilson Junior High, her stomach tightened and her hands began to shake. After receiving a Division 1 rating at Regionals, her mime duet had made it to State to perform a skit entitled "Cycle of Abuse." As Leiserowitz and partner Colette Johnson began their skit, they glanced at their judges and recognized one female judge from Regionals. "I was really nervous when I realized we had that judge again," Leiserowitz said. "She never seemed to notice what we were doing. All she would do was just write notes. I never could understand how she knew what to write because we're mimes, and you have to watch us." But the girls were determined to catch the attention of their distracted judge. When the skit reached its climax, they paused for a moment until the judge looked up. Although the duet received a Division II rating at the competition, they were pleased, considering it w as the troope' s first year at State. As Mike Bauerly slowly read the note • that was handed to him, he smiled, thankful for the w ish of good luck from instructor Wes McMains. It was the opening night for "Ten Little Indians," the first ever AL production which had two casts, one of students, and one of teachers. Although at first it was doubtful the two casts would be able to break down the teacher I student barrier, it was obvious by opening nigh t that these casts were as close as any other w hen the teachers showed up bearing gifts and wishing luck to the students. "On opening night the teachers gave the student who had the same role as them a gift," said Nichole VanWinkle, a member of the student cast. "Mrs. Rodrigez and I both played a cook, so she gave me a cook book Inscribed in the cookbook w as a note of good luck and best wishes." Along with gifts and notes, the casts supported each other by attending each other's shows. "I knew they w ould l;>e there opening night because our director, Jim Wood, told u s we were supposed to go to every show," Bauerly said, ''bu t I wasn't expecting them to bring gifts. It w as neat because that was when everyon e realized how far w e had come in getting closer than any of us ever expected." • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher T •At All-State, mime Kehry Lane performed "Prisoner of His Past" and earned an outstanding rating. • The mime troupe performed four skits and received three I ratings and one II rating at state competition.

"The bus kept going and stopping, going and stopping," Stacey Knauss said. "Luckily, the driver was able to fix it, but we were still scared because we didn't know if it would break down again." Afraid to take any chances, the members called for another bus after successfully making it to a truck stop. "The truck stop had everything, from stereoes to teddy bears," Bridget Hannan said. Once there, students called their parents to talk about the ride. "We laughed about it once we realized we'd be okay," Knauss said. "We finally got home around two that morning." Although that ride didn't go well, the year overall turned out great for nine members, who later placed at the state conference. Vanessa Dingman even qualified for the national conference, making it the eleventh straight year an AL shident qualified for the co'mpetition. Very seldom do people go to the grocery • store, fill two carts with groceries, fail to pay for them, and then put them all back. But this is exactly what 43 Trades and Industries students did when they went to Hy-Vee to learn how to shop smart. Students pretended to shop for a family of four, including two parents and two kids, ages 12 months to 15 years. First, students made up a daily meal chart. Then they bought groceries from their list. Steve Butts said making a menu wasn't bard at all. "It was pretty much your basic necessities," he said. "Just milk, eggs, and meat, but we had to make sure we had a variety." Sh1dents found out that groceries were expensive. "Kids had two cart fulls with totals up to $180," Butts said. "The lowest total for two carts was $120." After getting all their food, students had to put their groceries back. "It took a lot longer to put the stuff away," Elizabeth Opal said, "because we had to remember where everything went." Students enjoyed shopping without having to pay, but they learned how expensive a week's groceries could be when feeding a family.

THE FAClS Blood drive, bugs make council members a ittle ueas A s students walked down the hallway to • the big gym, they were suddenly stopped by a black gate in front of the concession stand and a pair of important authority figures-the blood drive security guards. The guards were needed to keep students out of the gym who weren't there to give blood, but when Mike Todd and Mike McCarthy took on the job, they made it a little more interesting. "We made the job more fun by acting like we were very serious about it," Todd said. "We made cardboard badges for ourselves. We paced the halls outside of the gym. Every time someone started toward the gym, we would open the gate and ask to see their I.D. and their signed pass to make sure they were supposed to be there." According to McCarthy, kids would have been in the gym eating cookies if it hadn't been for him and Todd keeping them out. "We were obnoxious because it made our job more fun and made the day go faster," McCarthy said. "We carried squirt guns around with us all day and squirted people just for giving us the wrong look." All in all, the blood drive raised 115 pints, with the hard work of Todd, McCarthy, and 48 other student council members. As student council members approached • their cabin at Camp Maha during an August retreat, they stopped to stare at the screen door, which was covered with dead daddy long-legs. The sight of the insects caused many students to feel uneasy and h ave a hard time sleeping the night of the retreat. "I don't like spiders too well to begin with," Todd Lane said. "When we got to the cabin there were daddy long-legs on the windows, floor, and ceiling. I was afraid that when we slept they would fall on u s from the ceiling." But not everyone was bothered by the dead spiders and chose to use other people's nervousness as a form of entertairunent. "Todd was whining all night about h avin g bugs on him," Jason Conroy said. "Tim Wright and I would tease him and try to make him think there were bugs crawling on him. He would try to brush the imaginary bugs off and shake his sleeping bag out." When the sun finally rose the next day, student council members spent th e day planning homecoming festivities. The bug infested cabin made for a sleepless night, but some managed to make the time move faster by causing others to "bug out." ----=...:Student ~.:...:.=;:.__ Council • written by Lisa Bemer • NHS, Environmental Club learn to help by H iking through the forest on a cold November day, nine members of the Environmental Club searched long and hard for stuffed, camoflauged birds in the trees above. The club's trip to the Fontenelle Forest was one activity to teach the members how animals can hide and adapt in their own environments. "We knew the general location of all the birds, but they were still really hard to see," Christy Schmidt, president, said. "They were hidden among leaves and in the bushes and it took a while." The highlight came when they saw a group of real animals. "At the very end of the trail, someone shouted, 'I see deer,"' Chandra Kyndesen said. "There was a group of four deer eating grass. It was really neat because we didn't think we'd see any." Although Naomi Leiserowitz enjoyed it, sh e was anxious to leave. "The weather was supposed to be warm," Leiserowitz said. "But when we got there, it started snowing and I was the only person wearing shorts. To keep warm, I walked as fast as I could." Along with the trip to Fontenelle, the 25 members were involved in at-shirt sale, an Earth Week essay contest, and paper pick-ups. ''would you like some cream for your • coffee, sir?" "No, but do you have any Jack Daniels?" "Um, I don't think we have any, but I'll go check," Nora Greer said to a man as she served tables at the National Honor Society (NHS) Induction dinner March 23. While refilling waters, Jennifer Kracher was asked by the same man about the whereabouts of his drink. "The man said he sent Nora to find the Jack Daniels, but she never came back," Kracher said. "Hiding a smile, I said I was really sorry and I would go see where she was." Returning to the kitchen, Kracher joined a group of 13 current NHS members, who went to the auditorium to help escort new inductees. The first thing they noticed was the small number of inductees -- only 22 students compared to 56 the year before. Sponsor Chris Fink said fewer students were inducted because students failed to turn in their applications on time or they didn't have enough leadership, service, or community 'work. • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher • Eart11 matters.

"Staying with volleyball was really hard," Alicia Hood said. "The people who were not as good did not get to play; instead we had to go to all the practices, but we still had to sit on the sides while the good players got the attention that we needed. I would get frustrated, and I wanted to quit but I didn't. Finally, in the last couple of games I got to play. It felt so good, and I knew that not quitting had definitely been the best choice for me." But students in hard classes and sports were not the only ones who thought of quitting. Some extracurricular activities also required perseverence. "I had a lot of problems with my camera and my pictures when I was on the Echoes during my freshman year," Tim Owen said. "But I decided to be responsible and keep trying. Finally, I figured out what I was doing wrong and things got better. I have stayed on the newspaper staff for four years, and I'm really glad that I didn't let my little problems push me into quitting because I have really learned a lot.

"Somehow or another, word will get out, everyone will be mad at you , you will lose your friends, and no one will be able to trust you." Camber Price thought she had built a trusting relationship with a friend until she needed help.

"It was a very unique experience trying to d rive it a t first. It didn't have power steering or p ower brakes, so I had to work twice as hard," he said. "But it was worth the time I spent rebuilding it." Eric Johnson said he spent all his tim e working on cars and not enough time on school and with his family. "N ow I'm trying to build a 1937 Chevrolet," he said. "I have a job tha t helps pay for most of the expenses, and I go to swap meets, and I look in the paper for d eals." For many students, fixi ng up their dilapidated old cars became tim.e and effort well spent. '' My dad and I never really spent any quality time together until we decided to work on the '' car. -e~~~ Jennifer Casady Jennifer Catron Emy Chase Hope Christensen Jolu1 Christiansen Jeremy Church Je sica Clevenger DeeDee Cobb Jesse Collins Mark Collins Tricia Colli11s Rya n Conaway Andrew Condecon Todd Coppock Dawn Coulter icoleCox Jessica Craft Dan Dawson Nicole Dawson Melanee Day Melissa Dempse Marla DeWitt Mandi Dickins Brandon Doles Je sie Drake Dana Drennen Amy DuBois hav n Ebling Michael Edie Erik Edwa rds Leah Edwards Regina English Cars written by Stacie Yoss '' I was so glad I got the cellular phone. We would've had to walk for miles to get to a pay phone.'' - fie# ()pat, P·H·O·N·E () ut in the bitter cold, halfway between Glenwood and Council Bluffs, Jeff Opal was riding in the car of a friend when the motor blew up. Shocked and not knowing what to do, Opal remembered that he had just purchased a cellular phone a few days earlier and could call for help. "I was so glad that I got the phone," Opal said. "We would've had to walk for miles to get to a pay phone; instead we had to wait for a half hour for the tow truck to come."· Opal paid $25 a month for his phone and $9 a month for a pager. He got them so friends and family could reach him easily and for emergencies. "My mom calls me about five times a day to check on me," he said. "I like it because I can screen my calls. If I don' t want to talk to someone at that time, I can wait and call them. But if I need to talk to them, I use my cellular." Tired of not receiving phone messages because of not being home due to work and other activities, Oliver Falknor decided to get a pager. "My parents got me a pager for Christmas and I have to pay for it every month," he said. "If they HOOK ME UP: Rushing to the nearest phone after hearing a series of beeps, Steve Haider holds up his pager to see who called.

Some chose to get a phone or pager f r safet reasons. After being in an accident and rmrning out gas a few times, Jennifer Kracher talked her paren into getting her a cellular. "After my car ran out of gas and I had to walk to gas station, and a few weeks later I got rear-ended b a semi, my parents thought I should carry a phone wit me whenever I drive," she said. "Now I never lea home without it. I've used it only when my c wouldn't start one night and when 1 witne sed a accident." Concerned parents also suggested Dan Spring get a pager a year ago. "My mom thought it was a good idea to get o because now she can get hold of me when she needs and my friends can too," he said. Despite the high costs of maintaining a cellul phone or a pager, most agreed it was worth themone "I would rather help rny parent pay for the cellul than be in a situation w here I would really need help Kracher said. "I don' t want to walk to a gas station e again. Being safe is worth $35 a month." - Nick Epperson Deseria Fairchild Dan Fairman Brian Fastnacht Keri Feilen Kristi Flury Jaymee Foster Kaylynn Fouts Chris Freed Kirn Fulfs Trisha Gibler Chris Gilmore Maria Gobin Darrin Golden Alisa Gonzalez Melissa Gonzalez Jennifer Gordon Nichol Grandick Christen Grimsley Kate Gronstal Aaron Hadaway Courtney Haines Steve Handley Tyler Hansen Cortney Harding Kiley Hartzell Michelle Hauger Carrie Hauskins Ann Heitman Matt Helm Jason Hendrix Tiffany Herring Courtney Heuwinkel Laura Hicks James Higginbotham Janna Hightower Corinne Hill Curtis Hinman Anja Hochlan Arian Hock Connie Hoden Chad Holmes Jason Honig Melinda Howerton Jill Hunter Kent Jacobsen Matt Jennings Dave Jensen Meggan Jensen Colette Johnson Jennifer Jolmson Jessica J olmson Michelle Johnson Sarah Jurgens Jill Kadereit Andi Katzenstei.n Sarah Kehm Bill Kellogg Jeff Kelly Michael Kelly Quinn Kelly Dan Kemp Aaron Kephart Jeff King Margot Klein Brad Klement Lane Knauss J.D.

Such jewelry store moments occurred every Christmas and Easter for Ferris, costing her parents an average of $350 annually. But Ferris wasn't the only student addicted to expensive jewelry . "I wear arow1d $2000 worth of jewelry a day," April Traylor said. "I love my jewelry and feel naked when I'm not wearing it." Students like Kristina Madden, an avid jewelry wearer, agreed with Traylor. "I think jewelry adds excitement to my clothes, and expresses my personality subtly," she said. Many jewelry lovers felt some people wore too much, though. " I think it looks tacky when people wear rings on every finger and three o r four necklaces.

Students like Swain and her boyfriend Mike Holten, who bought jewelry regularly, had even discovered the benefits of having their own personal jeweler. "Mike usually buys me a piece of jewelry every three months," Swain said, "so it's nice to have someone like Steve, who used to manage Brodkey's, and now has his own store, because he knows our taste and price range." But jewelry addicts like Traylor didn't care who sold her jewelry or where she bought it. "I have rings I've bought in Mexico and Las Vegas," she said. "I think limiting yourself to just a few stores kind of restricts your personal taste." Most jewelry fiends said they chose pricey jewelry over the cheap stuff because they got their money's worth. "I bought Mike a $70 watch from The Buckle, and within two weeks it turned his wrist green and the watch band had broken," Swain said. "Needless to say, we took it back and got our money back. It's just not worth the time and effort to buy cheap jewelry if you can buy quality jewelry for a few more dollars." '' I wear around $2, 000 worth of jewelry a day.

I M·O·N·S·T·E·R·S hen most people wanted to work on their cars, they went to a garage, but when Brad Vance worked on his, he just reached underneath his bed. Vance kept remote control car carburetors under . his bed becau se he liked to listen to music while he worked on them. "Jn the garage, I can't listen to music," Vance said. "In my bedroom, I just lay towels d own on the floor and work. My mom d oesn't live w ith me so she can't get mad and I don't think my dad even knows." Vance said if he got a spot on the floor, he didn't worry; he just u sed Resolve to take it out. When students were randomly asked to look under their beds and name the most bizarre items they found, most students found half-read books that they meant to finish, m oney, old clothes and shoes, and dirty dishes, but one of the grossest items found was a moldy bologna sandwich. Mindy Engstrom found the sandwich while she was cleaning her room. "Iwasvacuuming underthe bed when the vacuum tarted making strange noises," Engstrom said. "I . . . "' put the handle of the vacuum on the floor so that the bottom of the vacuum was upright. I yelled at my sister for leaving it there and told her to throw it away. She and a friend evidently fell asleep while watching television and forgot about it." It was fairly common for students to leave food under their beds, especially before going to sleep. Carrie Thatcher was surprised when she found a moldy bowl of cereal under her bed that she left there one night, meaning to pick it up the next morning. "I was picking up my room and found it. I let out a little scream and then took it into the kitchen," Thatcher said. "It had green mold floating on the top of it so I threw it away, including the bowl. It was pretty gross." Even though carburetors seemed bizarre, and fuzzy, old food was a shock, some people found a hidden treasure under their bed. Cristy Riesland found a hidden treasure of $50 under her bed and used the money to go shopping. "Up in Mo Valley, a lot of people drop by my house," Riesland said. "I doubt it was mine, but I decided to keep it anyway. It was a nice surprise." • '' I was vacuuming and it started making strange noises ...

Just as the stone was about to crush her, Wardlow woke up from her dream with a sheen of sweat glistening on her forehead. "I was trapped in a room with a bunch of tunnels and only one led to the exit," she said. "Each tunnel had a different shaped entrance and I had to answer a riddle to pick the right tunnel. I don't think my dream meant anything, just that I chose the wrong tunnel." Although many people could not remember whatthey dreamed when they went through R.E.M., or the mode of sleep called rapid eye movement, some students did remember their strange dreams. The only explanation Colette Johnson had for one of her weird dreams was that she had overdosed on biology. "I dreamt I had taken my eye out of its socket and put it in a glass of soapy bath water," sh~ said. "The concentrations of salt were differdreams played like an old television movie, including bad special effects.

"I was trapped in a glass bo · and it started to close in all around me until it got too small," he said. "One time the glass began to cut through me."

They didn't, however, look forward to what they thought would be an uneventful drive to Kansas City to catch their 7:23 p.rn. flight. But the drive did save each student $200 and proved to be one of the highlights of the trip. "We met a t Mrs. Smoley's house to leave for the airport," MattStemple sa id. "Jessica Craft parked her car in Smoley's d riveway and locked her keys in it." Craft's car was parked too close to Smoley's garage, w hose car was still inside.

Meanw hile, Mary Gepner, history instructor, acted as a traffic controller, directing Smoley and pro t e ctin g her bushes. "Tim Owen did all the work changing the tire," Stemple said. But the douglmut could barely keep the car going 55 mph. A few miles and cellular calls later, an old "We had tears in our eyes fro m laughing so h ard ," Craft said after watching the events.

The $20 tire was good enough to get the caravan to the KCI airport with just enough time to eat and board the plane. Luckily speech and debate members never had car problems, but they did like playing road tricks on their coach. "We put a huge poster on the back of Ms.Nelson's van that read 'Please honk at the lad y in the blue van; she's our coach and she's single,"' Shelly DeWitt said. They also made signs that read, "I brake for big rigs" and "I like truckers." "Three hairy men with maybe six teeth between all of them drove past in a red pick-up honking and waving," DeWitt said. "Nelson had no idea what was going on!" CAR TRIPPING. In tight conditions, Stephani e Kracher, A dam Hansen, and Jenni Underwood snooze on the way to the girls' state basketball game.

Like Thatcher, Kelly Gillman said soaps helped take her mind off things. "It's a different life than wha t we know. There's never the same old story," she said. "They cover everyd ay problems such as marriage conflicts in unpredictable ways." Although it was unusual for g u ys to wa tch soap s, Mark Church admitted to being a soap fana tic. "Some of my friends think it's strange for me to be watching soaps," Church said . "But I tell them they' re really good and have a lot of moralistic principles." Church began watching soaps a couple years ago due to boredom from summer vaca tion. "Once you start watching, it becomes addictive; that's how soaps keep their audience," he said. "Once one plot is over, another one begins." Church said he especially enjoyed a subplot on The Young and the Restless when two married couples started having feelings for each other's spouse. "One of the ladies got pregnant," he said. "She took a pill that was supposed to d estroy the baby, but the baby actually ended up being born prem a turely. The result was two divorces." Whether watching soap operas for relaxation, addiction, or simply a change of pace, some students believed there was more than "One Life To Live."

All he could think about was pulling over and somehow smashing the spider. "I've always been afraid of spiders," Cox said. "I remember hating them when I was little. I just thought they were creepy, crawly, and ugly." The most frightening experience Cox ever endured was awakening to find a spider in bed with him. "When I woke up one morning, there was a big spider crawling on my chest," he said. "I flew out of bed, flipped the spider off my chest, found the closest shoe, and beat it to death."

Construction on Red Lobster and Cracker Barrel restaurants had begun. Plans were well underway for three hotels in the Power Mall area, and the riverboat casino, convention center, and hotel complex were in the final stages of planning. But with all the expansion, Council Bluffs continued to focus on its history in preparation ofoursesquiannual celebration in 1996. Volunteers were already getting trained as tour guides, and monuments were scheduled for clean up in anticipation of a projected 1 million visitors from around the country.

But again high spirits were dampened as T-shirt and short-clad seniors were soaked in rain and frozen in 50-degree temperatures as they made their way through the amusement park. But to make a long story short, even rain, cold, and time that seemed to stand still couldn't lessen memories of fun, friendships, and accomplishments recounted in this short story of a long year.

It wasn't necessarily the events themselves that kept us busy, it was all the preparation leading to the big events. Hours were spent hunting for a Homecoming date, deciding whether or not to dress up for Halloween , or even shopping for the perlect Christmas gift. Just when we thought we could relax, it started all over again making preparations for the Spirit Week. By the time the last game was played at the school carnival, we found ourselves planning for prom and addressing graduation announcements. Events were supposed to be the biggest and best times of our lives. We wanted them all to be unique, and half the fun was getting there. Although we thought the big day would never come, once it did nothing could stop us from having the time of our lives.

That was until they heard the news. At 6:30, Dennis Schmoker announced that due to an electrical failure in the stadium, which enabled the use of the lights or scoreboard, the game was postponed to Saturday afternoon. With the buses already gone, the players sat on the sidelines and watched the band practice their half time show while the parents and coaches figured out how Homecoming game postponed thanks to a power outage, sending the players home until Saturday afternoon's upset loss to Skutt everyone was going to get home. Justin Ruby's sister fit eight players in her car. "It was pretty crowded in our car," Ruby said. "It turned out to be pretty fun, even with five people in the back seat and three in the front seat." Many were disappointed as they watched the band loading the trailer, the cheerleaders tearing down the carefully planned decorations and the rush of cars leaving the stadium at only 7 :00. The fans couldn 't help but wonder what Saturday would bri ng, as well as hope that the postponement wouldn ' t bring down the spirit. On Saturday, with just five minutes to kickoff, hardly any fans were in the stands and the football players weren' t very pumped. The fans who were there expected to win and thought that the boys deserved a victory. "T he team worked really hard," Katie Malmberg said. "Not o nly were they supposed to wi n, they needed to win." With the small cheering section ofabout 70 people, the Lynx lost 37-7 with the ir only touchdown made by Kevin Stull in the second quarter. With the encl of the fou1th quarter, the players threw down their helmets in fu ry and frustration. "I gave it my everything a nd that's all I could do," Ruby said.

Homecoming theme 'Viva Las Vegas' captured the wild tension and anxiety of Las Vegas without making Homecoming a gamble. "I thought Viva Las Vegas was a really unique theme," said Nicki Bomgaars. "Everyone bad a lot of different ideas about what kind of decorations we could make using the theme. It was just an easy idea to develop." However a small budget limited student council's options for choosing decorations. Using their avaiJable sources, they were able to narrow their ideas and build a mock Las Vegas Casino. Giant dice, cards, slot machines and a roulette wheel were only a few of the decorations that made Las Vegas a reality in the heart of AL's cafeteria. "I loved Homecoming," said Homecoming queen Angie Disalvo. "It was just a lot of fun seeing all the decorations and getting dressed up and just being with all my friends." The excitement and surprise of being crowned Homecoming queen added to Disalvo's enthusiastic attitude about Student Council brought a piece of casino life theme to AL. with the Homecoming theme Viva Las Vegas. Homecoming dances. "Since I was nominated for court I thought it made the dance more special for me," Disalvo said. "But the fact that I was crowned queen at my last AL Homecoming definetely made it more memorable." Along with memories of shaking to the 1 'Macarena,' riding the 'Train' and sliding to the 'Eletric Slide,' Angela French claimed she and group of friends had a killer kick line going as well. "Nicki Bomgaars, Kim Ferguson, Jenifer Grego, Megan Gray, Al ice Johnson, and I allgotuponstageanddid akickJine," French said. "Then Mr. Lake kicked us off because he was worried that we'd fall off the edge and hurt ourselves." Besides a few minor mishaps, overall, Homecoming was a great experience not to rruss. "Homecoming was not about who got king or queen, where you went for dinner, who you went with or how much money your outfit cost," Disalvo said. "These were just the tiny parts that make up one big wonderful night. ff you never went, you didn't realize what fun you missed." Nearly four hundred students traveled to Las Vegas for Homecoming. They brought with them their friends and dates and left with timeless memories.

With numerous students having planned to go to Lhe varsity volleyball game against Tee Jay on Halloween light. it was hard to indulge in the Halloween spirit, but some found the time. Jessica Hall and her co-workers at Redland Insurance Company dressed up in different costumes for Halloween. Hall dressed up as a cow and got many comments on how cute she was. " I couldn'teven walk down the hall without someone saying 'Ah, you look so cute'," Hall said. Some of the Taco Bell employees dressed up also. One of them even got a little creative with her costume. " I dressed up as one of my former managers," Cathy Haynes said. Haynes stuffed pillows down her navy blue work pants to make herself as fat as her ex-boss, and even went as far dying her blonde hair bright red to match her former manager's color. "Since everyone at work hated her, everyone thought that it was funny," Haynes said. "I even acted like her, I bossed people around all night. It was a blast." Krista Alba and friends had a different type of evening planned. Alba and friends Amy Yochum, Andrea Lapham and Melissa Wolhers, dressed up as pomers and cheerleaders and went trick-or-treating, despite disapproval from Alba's mom who thought they were too old. "Most people we went to were fine about our age, but some people gave us dirty looks, acted snotty and were just plain mean," Alba said. "In the end we got a lot of candy and that's all that mattered." Because many students chose to attend the volleyball game against Tee Jay, Halloween seemed to be forgotten. The students who clidn'tgo to the game, however, didn't regret a thfog and had a great time dressing up and getting into t11e real Halloween spirit.

" I thought the decorations looked fantastic, it really looked like a nice family Christmas,'· Heather Alexander said. "DECA put a lot of work into decorating." Despite the decorations. a lack of interest resulted in a low attendance and many early leavers. "I didn't think the winter dance was as fun as Homecoming this year," Summer Johnson said. "They were excluding groups of kids by playing only certain types of music." Playing certain music wasn · t the dee jay's own choice, but the school's. "We were told by the school not to play certain types of music, like alternative, because they were afraid it might cause a mosh pit or trouble," Brian Smith, the dee jay said. Even though some disliked the music, others thought it was the music that made the dance enjoyable. "The music had a good beat for dancing," Crystal McElroy said. " I danced all night with my friends and it was a relaxing way to start winter break." The music, however. stopped just long enough for DougJiskoot to announce the Holiday King Tieg Weathers and Queen Heather Kirkpatrick. "f was surprised to be King. I was happy about it, but it's not really a big deaJ." Tieg Weathers said. "But I did think the king's hat was really cool." Despite low numbers and music that didn't interest everyone, many still had a blast dancing their way into the holiday break.

(Photo by Angela Bushman) After a week of fun games, the Carnival bn an end to Spirit Week Splashing water, bungee cords, velcro and cotton candy all helped to make the second annual Lynx Carnival. The Carnival brought an end to Spirit Week and offered games and prizes for all students. While the Student Council spent a great deal of money and time organizing the carnival, making a profit was not a prio1ity. Overall, the carnival barely made over a hundred dollars. "Student Council didn't really do this as a money maker," Doug Jiskoot said. "We did it more to help promote school spirit, it would have been nice just to break even." The admission for the carnival was three dollars, including four game tickets. Extra tickets were available for twenty-five cents. There were big attractions, such as the bungee run, where two people would race to try to get a button the fmthest, while strapped to a bungee cord. There was also the velcro wall, where a student would wear a special suit and jump onto a wall of velcro. Clubs and organizations could also set up their own games and booths. "A lot of clubs I was in set up booths," Naomi Greelis said. "I worked with the Science club, Enviromnental club, jazz band, and Student Council." To attract people, posters were put adve1tising the carnival at Kim and Hoover. Student Council set up games the week of the carnival for Spirit Week, including the bungee run and the velcro wall on Friday during lunches. They also scheduled the carnival on the same night as the NNarsity boys basketball game against Roncalli. "I think that since people were already there, they could have just come dming a break or after the game," Tera Jensen said. " They didn't have to go out of their way to get there." For those who came,they were able to enjoy cotton candy, face painting, hoop shoot, spin <ut, snow cones, black jack and more. Many students tried their luck with the different booths and picked their favo1ites. "My favo1ite game was the Bungee Run and the Velcro Wall," Nichola Day said. "I liked them because I had never done them before." The booths and smaller attractions got their share of the excitement too. "l Like the fortune telling the best," Christine Talley said. "When they told yom fortune, they could tell you almost anything that you wanted to hear." The end of the carnival brought a close to Spirit Week and a week of fun and games. The many attractions brought fun and entertainment for all types of students. By Kathleen Snodgrass Some attended prom with friends, others with dates, both had fun ...

Van Winkle went though a numberofbaddates before sectling two days before on going with a friend, Wendy Troff. Van Winkle wasn't the only one without a date. Jamie Metz went with Catherine Thompson, Annie McCullen and Melissa Hansen as a group of friends. To make it feel more I ike Prom they rented a I imo. The girls had a blast hanging out the sunroof and window but the fun was quickly stopped when the limo got pulled over for exhibition driving. "We were told to keep ourselves in the limo. At first we were scared but then we just lauhged it off," said Metz. Metz and friends didn't regret going as group, but Yan Winkle felt otherwise. "T don' tregretgoingwith a friend but I wish I would've had a date," said Van Winkle. Van Winkle and Metz both agree that they didn 't have to won-y about the romantic hassles that come with a date. The theme was Starlight in the City and cost was $22 a couple and two dol lars per person for Post Prom. Prom was held at the UNO Ballroom May 17th at 8:00 p.m. The most exciting thing about Prom was finding out that Heidi Livingston and Kevin Stull got Prom King and Queen. Li vinston was both happy and surprised at the smne lime. "I didn't even think that I had a chance of winning, I didn't even vote for myself." said Livingston. The majority of the people got bored around eleven p.m. and headed over to Post Prom at Brunswick. They won money playing Black Jack, bowling and pool. "With the money that 1 won I bought a Coleman Cooler, l wo telephones, tennfa balls and ten dollars cash." said Jason Picrret. But the best part of post prom was the hypnotist. "Tt was so fu nny to watch Jenny Norman as the Moon Girl." said Van Winkle All in all the students stayed for the whole post prom with or without a date. by Dawn Bresley Busting a move, Stephanie Kracher, Brian Hilland Tara Owens dance the night away at prom.

Within the walls of AL, a new meaning was given to May 27. Through tears several witnesses claimed the memory of that evening would not be forgotten. It was there, in the thick muggy air of AL's large gym, the seniors said good-bye one last time. "Graduation night I expected to cry and be depressed," Wendy Troff said. "But actually I felt really great all night. It was hard leaving my friends, but I knew it was time for me to move on to bigger and better things." Graduation not only meant relief, but freedom, independence and a new beginning. It was the first and last time the entire class of '97 would be together. They were no longer students of AL, but alumni and individuals. " I wasn'tsad toseehighschoolgo," Krista Jacobsen said. "It was something all of us had lived and breathed for fou r years straight. After graduation it was gone forever." However, the memory of AL would eternally remain in their hearts. From the staff, to the students, to their former classrooms ... the seniors would remember. They realized AL had been more than just an education, but an irreplaceable piece of their past. "The smell of AL really stuck in my mind," Jacobsen said. "lt always distinctly smelled like a mixture of people and school lunch." Amidst the beaming crowd, fl ashing cameras, flying beach balls, toilet paper and siJJy string, an official ceremony had taken place. A milestone in not only the lives of the seniors, their family and friends, but also for their principle, Jim Lake. Along with the seniors, he too would be leaving AL. "We all knew how much Mr. Lake hated to leave," Angie Disalvo said. "In honor of his last graduation ceremony as principle of AL, Don Sheibler, seniorsponser, came up with the idea for us to make him an Honorary Member of our class. I think it was the right thing to do because he meant so much to all of us." It was the first time in 35 years a class had made anyone an Honorary Memeber. After being cloaked in an official blue graduation cap and gown, Lake expressed his gratitude and feelings he had for the class. "I don' tthink I had ever received a higher honor," Lake said. " f had been on TY, radio across America and on National Committees with generals in the Airforce, but becoming an Honorary Member was the highest, most wonderful thing that had ever happened to me." Lake claimed that his years spent at AL were a dream, and that he had never had better kids in his life. He reminded everyone that they would always have a place in his heart. That night a glimpse of a hero was seen in Lake as he concluded his speech. Together, the crowd stood and cheered, returning the kindness and hope Lake had given them. That evening the seniors and Lake left AL as equals. Each of them had begun AL with opportunities and dreams and finished with memories and accomplishments. by Jill Ryan Before graduation Renee Robicheau helps Jenny Skalberg fix her collar.

For some it was through dating, others reminiscing with friends about first time experiences or relaxing with family. No matter what people did, we usually came back on Monday with an interesting story to share and an easygoing attitude, ready for another week. The year brought with it many big events, the Olympics, the presidential election, and many outerspace discoveries. In addition to the triumphs and discoveries crune the harsh eye-opening realities of the real world. We were shocked with the murders of the little beauty queen, Jon-Benet Ramsey and comedian Bill Cosby's son, Enis Cosby. Through it all we were touched and inspired by many different people and events. We gained much know ledge and learned that nothing could hold us back from having the times of our lives.

Most people, however, would never get the chance to experience the Olympics first hand. A few lucky students went to the Olympics in Atlanta. They were able to see the sights, sounds, and more importantly, the athletes and the competitions. Jennifer Hansen was amazed at the prices of simple things and at rhe amout of people. "The price for a pop was three dollars or more, even a hot dog was five dollars," Hansen said. "Things could get very expensive since they were doubling prices. The crowds were so large attheOlympics,especially walking to and from Centennial Park. You couldn't even see around you because of the large amount of people." The variety of people proved to be one of the highlights of the trip. " I saw and met one of the Croatian basketball team members at an Atlanta mall," Hansen said. "He was at least 7 feet tall. You could tell who the athletes and officals were by their security passes." Getting tickets lo the games proved hard to get. The people who went had to plan their trip out months ahead. Glen Campbell was one of these people. "To get the tickets, first we had to order a catalogue then we submited our name and choices for the events you wanted to go to, sent it back," Campbell said. "The tickets were hard co get and the prices could go up to $200 or more for the more popular events such as the opening and closing ceremonys.'' The J 996 Summer Games had more events than recent times, displaying such new medaling sports as roller hockey, kayaking, and rollerblading. But the older events sti 11 proved to be the favorites. "I really enjoyed seeing Mens gymnasti cs," said Gina Campbell. " It's amazing that the gymnasts have that ski ll and can perform that well, I'm glad J had the opportunity to go." One of the most vivid memories for those who went to the Olympics was the bombing in Cenntienal Park. "I was at my hotel the night of the bombing and the building shook. It really scared me," Hansen said, "The blast was felt miles away." Besides coming back from the Olympics with the usual tshirt and some souvenirs, these students also came back with memories of a Ii fetime to hold on to.

Ill 2 8 ar skies Imaginations and the media explored the endless possibilities of outerspace Creeping out of the tall shadows, they invaded our televisions, newspapers and the big screen. With large, black eyes, they looked upon our world and decided to stay. Thealienshavelanded! Well, not exactly. AJthough aliens didn't land, they did invade our culture. With shows like The X- Files and Dark Skies, and movies like Independence Day, audiences discovered the possibility that aliens may not be as sweet as £. T. What used to seem absurb became questionable. Alien abductions, government cover-ups and Life in space were all contoversal subjects people were talking about. Summer Johnson, James Hill, Amber Umbdenstock, Ryan Brown and Jean Hurley got together to discuss outers pace. Q. Do you believe that there was life in outerspace? Hurley: The uni verse was too big for us to be the only living beings out here. Johnson: Yes, I mean, just think about it. If we were here, then there had to be someone else somewhere. Hill: Of course there were aliens because on ly people with incredibly large egos would believe they were the only ones in the universe. Q. What do you think an alien on Mars would look like? Johnson: Well, it's hard to say. It could have been some kind of green slime. Umbdenstock: But how do you know they were green? They could have been human-like. Hurley: They could have been humanoid and just blended in like the rest of us. For all we knew, we could have been surrounded by Martians! Q. What about bow the way that Hollywood portrayed aliens? Hurley: They made them all look similar. For example: the white, ovalshaped beads and the big black eyes. We didn ' t really know if that was what they looked like. Q. Did you believe that the scenario of lndependance Day was possible? Hurley: Why not? Hill: Anything was possible. Reality was a human- based thing. Q. Did the government cover- up alien encounters? Brown: I think that the government was trying to keep something, like a mutual thing going on with the aliens. Umbdenstock: I think the goverment was really afraid of what was real and what was not. Johnson: Instead of having alien ships flying all over the place, they would have said it was some new government ship so we wouldn't all freak out. Q. Will we live in outerspace in our lifetime? Johnson: Not in our lifetime. It would take too long. I don't think I have enough life left for them to do something like that. Maybe sometime, though. Hurley: l think sometime in 2000 we would be living in outerspace floating around! Who knows, we might have the Olympics in space! Q. Was the NASA program a benifit? Hurley: And to really understand our world's own history, we needed to find out the history about other planets. Like when we found organic lifeforms on Mars! Umbdenstock: They found new things when they'd go up, so I think they helped out a lot. Hill: The government would have . been more worth-while if they had loosened up. We spent too much time and money on stupid little things! Little green men didn't seem like stupid little things anymore.

The boy in the third row, second seat. He wore a pair of baggy jeans, worn-out airwalks, and a Bush t-shirt everyday to school. Sometimes, when it was cold, he would add a long sleeved t-shirt underneath it. "I don't really mind the alternative look, but I would prefer the trendy look," Darci Drennen said. "I like to see guys in Tommy jeans and things like that." Drennen would have preferred to see that same boy in green corduroys and brightly colored sweaters. Students definitely had their opinions on exactly which style they preferred, not on ly for themselves but for the opposite gender as well. With stores like Gadzooks, wild clothing became more popular. Items such as orange sweaters and shiny tops were seen quite often. Along with the trendy clothing were Doc Martens. Even though these were one of the most popular fashions, they were not agreed on by everyone. "Lots of girls wore those big funky Docs," Micheal Duncan said. " f like the fish scale ones, but the nowered and the shiny ones should have been burned." Some students didn't care what they wore. They just put on what was comfortable and that was their style. "It didn't matter to me what most people dressed like," Haley Allen said. "We came to school to learn, not to impress anyone." The way people dressed, whether it was alternative, nerdy, trendy or casual, was the way they expressed themselves. High school years were the time for many to find what styles they preferred to see and what styles they hated. "One of the many styles was baggy jeans,'' Mikala Boze said. "I 1 ike to wear them because they were comfortable. I liked to see guys wear them because they looked sexy." When guys wore baggy jeans, many like Boze turned to look, but many also turned away. Karen Grimsley was one of those who disliked the baggy jean look. "Baggy pants look okay on some," Karen Grimsley said. "I only liked them if they had the who le alternative look, otherwise they looked dumb." With so many different clothing styles, it was impossible for everyone to agree. No matter what people wore on the outside, it was important to remember that it was the inside that counted.

Cutting taxes, balancing the budget and eliminating the Department of Education were the main issues and concerns adults discussed. But what were teens talking about? For some of students theelection was a huge concern. David Brown, Chris Pruitt and Amanda Fisher discussed the issues of the campaign. Q. Who did you think should had won the election? Brown: Bob Dole should have won because Bill Clinton was an extensive liberal democrat. Pruitt: I thought Dole because I was a Republican. Fisher: I was glad Clinton won because of the way Dole felt about chopping down trees. Q. Who had the more intresting issues? Brown: I thought Dole had good issues because taxes were a big deal and I liked his issues. Pruitt: They all basically bad the same issues. That was why they called the election a debate because they debated about the same questions. Fisher: It really did not matter to me. Q. What were your opinions on Clinton being relected? Brown: Bill Clinton was a really weak-minded man. I am not glad he was relected. Pruitt: ft did not really matter to me, I did not vote. Fisher: ram glad he was relected, r think he did a lot of good. Q. How did you feel about all of the tax laws and cuts'? Brown: I liked the fifty cent tax cut because we should increase taxes not government. Pruitt: I agreed, I think we paid too much taxes. Q. Dole had talked a bout cutting educational prog r amming. How did you feel about that? Brown: Just because he wanted to cut the education department did not mean he wanted to cut the education programming. Fisher: It said in the Omaha World Herald that he wanted to cut the educational programming so we know he wanted to do that. I think he needed to back off. Brown: The bottom line was that the states would be in control of the education. Pruitt: I didn't think he would cut the education programming. Q. With all the promises made, did you think that whoever was elected would fulfill t he ir promises? Brown: I didn't think Clinton would. He didn ' t fulfill them the first time. Pruitt: I thought they would say anything to get the votes. Fisher : I thought all the politicans believed in what they were pushing. Q. Who did you think had the best plan for bala ncing the budget? Brown: I liked Clinton's. He balanced the budget by cutting taxes. Pruitt: I agreed. Clinton had good ideas about how to get us out of debt. The votes were counted and Clinton was elected for another term. Whether teens liked him or not, the Americans dec ided Clinton would bring them into the 21st Century.

Mr. perfect was Mr. Stepdad before too long if the feeling was right. The kids couldn' t be forgotten, they were what made it a family or at least a stepfamily. When someone new was added to a family, adjustments were the first things made. Sometimes screams proceeded adjustments, but life went on. "We were forced to adjust," said Melissa Halse. "At first I did a lot of screaming, but then I calmed down and accepted it." Richard and Melissa Halse had to quickly adjust when their mother's boyfriend and son moved into thesma!J, two-bedroom apartment. "They were well-built guys and the apartment seemed small with all five of us in their," said Richard. "We only had to live there for about fou r months though." Four months in a cramped apartment seemed like longer when everyone's habits interfered with each other. Changes from everyone had lo be made, but some thought it was a one sided-deal. "When they moved in with us, we all had our own habits, and then we had to adj ust," said Melissa. "The food had to be rationed along with the space because of the addition of two new people." Space and food weren't the only adjustments made. Authority also was spread out, and listening and taking orders was hard to learn. " I told my stepdad from the start he wasn't there lo bea father figure," said Richard. "At first he was upset over it, but after awhile he j ust complained to my mom and she dealt with it." When Marlina Howe's mother remarried, it came as somewhat of a shock. She had to learn to live with a new stepdad and two stepbrothers. "The hardest part was for me was knowing that my mom and dad were really separated and would never make up," said Howe. Although she knew her mom would remarry, nothing could really prepare her for it. "I knew it was going to happen," said Howe. "They had been dating for awhile, but it was still a shock. It was hard to see my mom get married to someone other than my dad." After the wedding, changes were in order and adjustments of all kinds were made. They didn' t occur just at first, they continued to happen quite a few years after the marriage. "I would ask my mom if I could go somewhere and my stepdad would jump in," Howe said. "I thought 'Why did he say anything? He's not my dad.' He'd been with us for awhile, but I didn ' t see him in that way." Howe didn't feel exactly comfortable in the beginning, having a stepfather and stepbrothers around, but he got used to them. She still couldn't consider them as her 'real' family. "I'll never think of them as family," said Howe. "I'm close to them, but I could never say l love them." With new family members around, adjustments were made, whether everyone was in agreement or not. They were part of the family, and fami ly was fami ly whether by blood or marriage.

Her sweaty palms rubbed the penci I while she nervous! y glanced over the test. "When Mrs. Smoley handed out our test, I thought I was going to die," said Chapman. "I thought the test was going to be easy. When I looked over the test, iL was very hard. There were questions on the test that were not in the book, and r was not prepared." Students had many firsts. Some were exciting and others were boring, but many agreed that their firsts were memorable. A first time host on Good Morning AL, Kala Ginn found that bringing the news Lo her peers was a big and nerve rackingjob. " I was very nervous when our first show came out," Ginn said. "At first l was just scared that no one would like how l hosted. Afler the first show, I wasn't so tense anymore and was more confident when doing the show." A rookie reporter for the AL Insider, Mark Church found his first story, a news feature, to be a challenge. ''There were so many little things, like logging and writing scripts, that I did not know how to do," Church said. "Sometimes I would get very discouraged but, in my mind, I knew I could do it. After awhile I enjoyed being on camera." After trying out for Porn Pon for the first time, Laura Liddick, waited by the phone, anxious to hear the outcome. She could hardly believe it when she found out she was a new member. "I had to learn the dances in a short amount of time and I was scared I would not make it," said Liddick. "Porn Pon took a lot of energy and hard work. It was much harder than cheerlcading." Whether it was a test or a dance routine, some students found that they had to struggle with their firsts.

Trus is the true story of four students picked to live in an old lady's house and have their lives observed to find out what happened when people stopped being polite and started getting real. Real World- Council Bluffs. During the week, the four members of the Real World waited to meet the roommates whom they'd be spending the weekend with, looked at the people in the hall and wondered. On Friday, September 27, the wait was over. "When we pulled up everyone was on the porch waiting," said Rutlege. "I saw a couple people [ recognized but I didn't really know anyone." After the first impressions were made and the ice was broken, the roommates started their weekend by piling into a car in search of a bonfire. 'There were three people in the front and four in the back. Andy was laying across everyone in the back and his bony butt was digging into my leg," Lindsay McElderry, yearbook photographer, said. "Everyone thought they knew where we were going, but no one did. We drove around in the middle of nowhere, crammed in the car, until we finally found it." Although the car ride was a unique bonding ex perince for the group it seemed to work, for a short time. All the members stuck together as they walked toward the bonfire, they stood next to it and talked until it was time to head home. It only took hours before a conflict arose in the house and Dodson quickly found a way to get rid of the problem. Rutledge had done the impossible, he had annoyed the 3 8 entire group. "We were leaving for the grocery store and Andy was supposed to ride in my car," Dodson said. "Before he could get in the car, l drove off without him and left him standing in the middle of the street. Afterwards I felt really bad so I bought him a candy bar at the store to make up for it." Arguments were soon forgetten when the roommates wanted to learn more about each other. A question game got them to reveal some personal and embarrasing information about themselves. "I got to know things about the roommates that their own fri ends probably didn' t even know," Henn said. "And there were some pretty funny questions. You cou Id always tell which questions Andy put in because his never made any sense." The game was exhausting and everyone knew Saturday would be a long day, so at 2 a.m. the roommates piled into bed. Yet their rest was cut short by an alann set off by Rutledge at 3 wh ile he was trying to see what time it was. Saturday morning was spent like any other for the roommates, watching cartoons. But they all fou nd something better to do when Rutledge picked up the phone. "Andy called a bunch of people and talked in a Chinese accent, pretending to look for a restau rant," Underwood said. " He tried to order J 2 fortune cookies and some young choy." A scavenger hunl brought up a little friendly competition among the roommates as well as some laughs.

"When we walked into Drug Town and Jenn i Henn asked for condoms, the clerk questioned her about why she wanted them," Underwood said. "Jenni gave her a dirty look and said ·1t's on my scavenger hunt list.' " The roommates spent Saturday night strolling the Old Market. As a big group of people, they became target for religous messengers spreading the word. "It's not everyday that you' re walking down the street and have two guys stop and preach to you for an hour," Rutlegde said. While Rutledge stayed and listened to the men, others escaped. " I started to walk away and yelled back 'I'm going to the bath room,"' said Kelly Quigley, yearbook reporter. "Sarah Scheer and Julianna Dodson said 'Me too' and followed for an escape out." After the weekend was over. all members agreed it was a unique experience, orld learning how to get along with diffe rent types o f people. "I learned that you could sec someone everyday and not know them, but they could be a totally cool person." Rutledge said. When the weekend was over, any arguments or squables were fo rgotten, but the inside j okes the roommates shared were not. "T talked to a lot of the roommates afterwards and even hung out with them," Henn said. "We would still laugh about how annoying Andy was."

When most students heard this phrase, the image of a short, stocky, pimple faced geek or an overweight, obnoxious troublemaker came to mind. This kept most students from giving up a Saturday night. However, the yearbook staff decided to find our if blind dates were really as bad as they seemed. Four AL students applied to go on an all-expense paid blind date. When Krista Alba, Sabrina Kunik, Glen CampbeU and Adam Driscoll met in the AL parking lot at 5:30pm on a Saturday evening, they knew they would be going out to a restaurant, but did not know what was in store for the rest of the night. As the couples made their way into the c rowded Pizza Hut, no doors we re opened for the ladies. As the ladies were seated, no chairs were pulled out. "I never opened car doors for my date," Driscoll said. " I' d open all other doors, but I didn't open car doors." When it came time to order, instead of the guys talcing their place as the decision maker, the girls forcefully set their minds on what they wanted lo order and placed it before the guys could offer suggestions. Kunik and Alba ordered a pitcher of Mountain Dew, just as Driscoll informed them that he was a Pepsi drinker. However, they ignored his request. As the seco nd pitcher of Mountain Dew arrived at the table, the couples were deep into a conversation on dating. "My mom said I shouldn' t call a guy first, they shou ld call me," Kunik said. Conversations of dati ng turned into debates about who should pay. "It doesn't matter who pays anymore," Driscoll said. "Girls had a lot of responsibilities too. But I still paid for my date." Alba rebutted w ith he r strongly opposing views. "I still expected the guy to pay, even if I asked him out." The dates all agreed that times have changed. Their parents did things differently, starting with bringing the girl flowe rs. "I had only gotten flowers twice," Kunik said. "Once it was for a two month anniversary." They concluded that romanticism had diminished over the years and dates had lost any emotions. Rather than coming to the door and meeting the parents, girls often have to run out the door to their date who's honking their horn. Although they had opposing views on how dates should act, they were all in compliance when the idea of an action-packed movie came up. The dates looked for four seats together in the c rowded theater and sat down immediately. As Ransom began with a kidnapping, Kunik was the center of attention. "I was just dozing off," Kunik said. "When I opened my eyes, there were all these people staring me." After the movie, they decided to end the night with hot chocolate at the 13th Street Coffee Company. The four re laxed and reminisced about the night and dating in the 90's.

Wrestler Joe Mason climbed his way to the top at Districts, earning a spot at State in Des Moines. He fought a long, hard battle placing fifth.

Sleepovers and pizza parties pull team together "Closeness" was the motto for the varsity softball team. After a game, a tradition for the varsity softball team was born over a table full of pizzas. While eating at Pizza King, a player came up with the idea for a slumber party. The idea stuck, plans were made and the team met in Arian Hock's basement. They had a sleepover that night and many others following. Together, the team watched movies, did each other's hair and ate a lot of food. They even adopted thier own movie. "We all watched 'A League Of their Own' over and over throughout the night," Hock said. "Du ring practices and games we quoted lines from the movie." Not only did the team have their own movie, they also had a common hairstyle. "We braided each other's hair for Districts to look more like a team," Heidi Li vingston said. "Not only that but it intimated the other teams as well." Up to bat, Becky Rossbund prepares for the swing. The JV team ended the season with a record of 12 - 8.

They wanted diamonds, as in softball. "It was a wonderful year for us, we had a great amount of parent support this year,'' Coach Kevin Dunn said. Softball parents helped out, selling game tickets, working at concession stands or just cheering on their favorite players. "We had more students who came out to watch the games than seasons before," Dunn said. "It was nice to have their support. Support from students and parents alike meant a lot to the players. "I learned a lot. I improved on points in my game such as pitching and balling," Katie Dricrgins said. "It was a really tough season and0 we played good teams li ke Riverside." It has been said to be a good team they must learn to use teamwork and to learn from each other. "The fres hmen and JV girls looked up to the varsity players and learned from them." Dunn said. Coaches who care often mean more to players than wins or loses. "The coaches were reaJJy rooting for us ... Teresa Weddle said. "They were jumping up and down, screaming and cheering for us at all our tournaments." Though the JV and freshmen seasons were a~out half an~ half for wins and losses, they still accomphshed their goals and learned together. "We accomplished a lot as a team together," Dunn said. "The g irls wo rked together to improve. and they did .. , Years from now these girls might not necessa1ily remember their wins and losses but they will remember the fun times they had on the diamond together.

The bitter air added to the sting of tears that rolled down the players faces. "Come on AL!" a single voice yelled from the stands followed by cheers of restored faith. Though city rival, TeeJay hadjustscored a touchdown, making the score l4-3, the varsity football players were still determined to do their best. "At the Tee Jay game I was upset because we thought we could have won chat game," Sean Stcensen said. "One of our main goals was to make it to the p layoffs. Losing that game only took us furthe r away from achieving that goal." The unexpected loss to Tee Jay left playe rs and fa ns shocked. The game captured their pride and plummeted the team into a threegame losing streak. "We lost a lot of oames because we I;> were a young team way we played." Nelson said. " [ f we heard them cheering us on. it pushed us a little harder. So when they yelled ·You guys suck!' or something, it only pu lled us down." Despite the team's loss to Gross, 35-42. the crowd went wild. Both players and fans agreed that Gross was AL ' s best played game of the season. As the game ended. AL quickly recovered their dignity as they held their he lmets high in the air and chanted "Go AL!'' lt was times like that which lifted everyone's spirits and gave them the courage to strive on.

Parental support helps volleyball overcome the ups and downs As the ball sailed ~moothl y through the air, it was abrubtly stopped and slammed the other way with great force. The girls' volleyball team continued to pick up speed throughout the season. "We definitely got better as the season went on," Heather Aughe said. "At our first tournament, we were six different players. As the season progressed, we got to know each others' playing styles and we started communi c ating more." Before the y started communicating, the team lost their first seven games. Many people didn 't have much fa ith for the rest of the season. "Besides Chuck May, ourselves and our families, I doubt anyone thought we cou ld make it to the reoional fin a ls," 0 Janelle Kenny said. The parents had a good reason to believe in the team.

It not only made the team better, but the varsity team as well. Scrimmages between the two teams were meant to make both work harder. JV always started out with a twelve point lead, which they were suppose to keep, while varsity was suppose co come back and win. "Both coaches expected their own team to win," Kristy Hough said. "Sometimes we'd win, most of the time varsity wou ld." ln order to beat not only varsity, but their opponents in games as well, it took teamwork. It did, however, take the players awhile to learn how to play as a team. "We started out really slow because we had never really played together as a team before," Anna Peterson said. "After awhile, we oot better because we got to know each 0 other and how we played." Nicknames helped to loosen up the team and to get them to play as one. "Victoria Shamblen was really quiet at the beginning of the season," Hough said. "Then we started calling her "Slick Vic'. After that. she became a lot more open and became friends with everybody else.·· The freshmen volleyball team. however. already knew each other and playing styles well. The team played throughout j unior high together and even had off-season leagues. "Our game against Ralston was probably our best game all season, " Courtney Underwood said. "Everyone was playing really well and the game was really close." Knowing how to play together was important to both teams in order to be sucessful. Both finished the season with winning record .

Experience and long practices led to a successful year The team's goal of the season was record setting, whether it was a home meet or going off to State and Districts. They worked hard at this and were succsessfull because of it. "Since most of us were on the team the year before, the coaches expected a lot more out of us this year," Adam Mattox said. "·w e had worked really hard this season towards our goal of doing well at all of our meets, but especally Districts and State." Two individual members, went to State held in Iowa City, IA. One member, Josh Hale, advanced to the finals receiving sixth place in the 200 Freestyle and fifth place for the 500 Freestyle. "Since last year was my first time at State I was really nervous," Hale said. "Since this was my second time up at State, l had a really good time because I was more familiar wi th the meet." Shaun Hayes was the other member of the boys swim team who went to State. He received 42nd place in the 100 backstroke. "State was really s pectacular this year," Hayes said. "The facilities they provided for us were great and it was full of so many fans that it made it much more enjoyable for us to swim." With doing well at State and Districts, team members had some extra traveli ng time for fun. Most of the team's meets were held out of town which made for some long trips. Stroke after stroke, Chris Tavera is trying to keep his rhythm speed up. The boys swim team ended up sending two swimmers to State.

With having set records and sending two members to state boys swimming proved to other teams that they were something to contend with. The team members had worked hard for their success by having long practices. " lt was a great year for all of us," Hayes said. ·'Our relay teams were outstanding and we all did well individually.'' With having a record tting year in swimming, they also set swimmers afire throughout the state with their successes wishing they cou ld get the same .

When it did, she went off like a rocket. With Kealy's feet kicking and her heart pounding, teammates cheered on each other as team members finished swinuning at the River Citys Conference. "The support from each other really helped all of us," Kealy said. "When we were really exhausted, it helped us pull it together to finish well." With support from each other came a very positive environment for the team. This helped the team become more productive and work harder. "We had gotten along much better than the previous season," Amanda English said. "Since we had a Jot of goals for the team, it helped make us work together as one." Working together the swim team picked up the City Swim Championship for die first time in ten years, and scored second in the River Cites Conference, the highest ever. The team also went undefeated in the fa!J and lost only one meet in the winter. "The City Swim Championship meet was really exciting," Sarah Will said. "It took a lot of work, practice and dedication to get the championship but it was \.vor'th every minute of it." Besides swimming well at the City Championship the team also made an impressive showing at Districts in Fort Dodge. The team sent Lindsay Parks, a diver, to State. " I wasn't really that nervous diving at t. • ---~-- +- State," Parks said. "I was more worried diving at Districts wondering whether or not I would make State." During the winter, the major meet was the River Cites Conference. The meet was rewarding according to Kealy, because each swimmer finished with their best personal times. "That meet was really exciting," Kealy said. "We were really on top of our game that day, we all got our best times and placed second." Working hard aJI season, the swim team also took some time out for fun. Often after meets, teammates would go out for dinner together. "We really had a good time together after meets by teeping each other's cars, throwing snowballs and pulling pranks on the coach, such as throwing her into the pool," Terry Danburg said. "I thought doing activites together helped build team spirit and unity." Singing was another activity the girls did together as a team. "Since we liked to sing we would sing in the van to and from meets," Kealy said. "During the winter season the boys would get mad when we sang, so we just sang louder to annoy them." Wheather it was chowing on pizza, or swimming to the finish, the team did it together with pride. They had successfully completed a season of successes both in and out of the pool.

The girls varsiry team went through a number of obstacles before they made it to the top. In the beginning it was coach versus girls. Coach Bullock would yell and scream in such a jumble of thoughts that the girls just didn't understand, even though he expected them to understand perfectly. The girls felt alone and in the dark. "At first we got so frustrated we wanted to quit but we never did. We knew that to make it as a team we couldn·t quit·· said Beck y Rossbund. " ll was that team unity that pulled the team and coaches together to form strong team unity. As the season moved forward. so did their progress. They learned to understand each other and form unity. The practices became more conditioning, full of motivation and encourageme nt instead of just yelling and running through plays and scrimages.

" In our hudle before every game we said, 'Take care or each other, take care of the ball, but most of all. kick some butt,.,. said Angie Driggins.

The JV girls tried and worked their hardest but they just weren't playing like they should. The team got tired before the fourth quarter and couldn't keep up with their competitors. ''We couldn't play four solid quarters. Mostly we could play for three, sometimes only two, .. said Amanda Norman "It was really messing us up and made it really hard to win." The team had such a hard time this season they only felt comfortable with only one team and that was Tee Jay. ''They were a very easy team to beat. That made us feel great that we could go out and beat our rivals without hardly tring." said Norman "We knew we could beat them, so coaches, Jay Conyers and Phil Nielson, had a lot to do with it. "The coaches taught us more than any other coach that I' ve ever had" said Courtney Underwood. The coaches were there not only to teach them drills, scrimages and plays, but also about their attitudes. "Conyers put us all on the line and gave us an emotional speech about when we got older we would regret some of the things we were doing on and off the court. but if we did it right and did it now, there would be nothing for us to ~egret," said Elizabeth Waldmann.

Confidence surrounded the boys at every game Confidence, poise and smooth moves filled the court as the boys basketball team played the iT first District game. They played with an air of authority and a deep passion for the game. Nothing could stop them. However, during the second half, the confidence faded as their shots stopped falling, and Souix City HeeJan's offense got the best of them. After loosing a close game, players werestrnck with the feeling of dissapointment. " I felt depressed when I knew we had the game won. but then lost because of mental miscues and stupid mistakes that we went over every day in practice," said Damian Teymer. Whether they won or lost by only a few points, they never gave up and always knew there was room for improvement. "Coach Bruce Chubick would always tell us, 'We should have won by more, but we' ll take thewin' ,"said Mike Rossbund. "It was a let down, but not a discouragement. We always tried to take two steps forward when we took a step back. We knew the mistakes we made could be changed." Even though the team won twelve games, some were convinced that they didn't play to their full abilities. "There were a few games where we should have been in total con- • trol," said Headed around a St. Alberts player, Scott Rossbund. "When Coppock heads for the b~sket. AL beat St. we played St. Albert Alberts 60-57. (Photo by Lindsay McElderry) we won, but only by a few points, so it felt like a loss." Although they often felt they could have done better, some players were proud of the accomplishments the season brought them. "We had a better record than last season, but l knew we could have done better, and there were games that I knew we should have won," said Joel Brandt. "We were really confident and no matter who we played, we always went into a game thinking we could win. No one favored us to beat Fremont because they were ranked pretty high in Nebraska, but we went into their place and we won.'' Whether the game was won by a long shot, or by a three-pointer at the buzzer, the boys basketball te am proved that dedication and a love for the game could overcome small obstacles. They proved that being a winner wasn ·l a lvvays de te rmined by the scoreboard. but by the strive to do better and to c lear the path of anything that stood in their way.

The players raced up and down the court, sweating and working their hardest. However, once the first shot S\vished through the basket, there was no cheeri ng, no clapping, except a few parents in the stands. The start of JV basketball games often missed one important element. .. fans. Although players centered their attention on the game, the lack of support did not go unnoticed. "Every time we did something good during the game, we never heard much cheering," said Adam Driscoll. "For the first half of our games there was never anyone there, except our parents. We really depended on each other for support." With a lack of fans. the team was forced to give each other extra encouragement. "We counted on each other to be in our spots and do our jobs," said Josh Powell. "Even when someone messed up, we let them know it was okay and continued to cheer them on." Although the team cheered one another on in times of need, the fan support which they also needed was only provided for the varsity team. "Varsity was so good this year that people would come early to get a good seat.'' said Driscoll. "We all hoped that if we could put on a good show at the end of our games, maybe people would start coming earlier.'· Unfortunately. no matter how much they worked, the fan support did not increase, and neither did lhe players' confidence in their fans. 'The fan support for the JV team was the same every year, small," said Powell. ·'People just didn 't care about JV games. We were kind of our own fans. We really had to be." Although the bleachers remained body less for most of the season. the boys JV basketball team showed the fans they had what playing the games was all about They also learned from each other what the words teamwork and support really meant, and they transformed their team into a family.

While this goal was sometimes never met, the sense of accomplishment prevailed. For wrestling, this goal was St~H . With many injuries and a lot or young wrestlers, the team as a whole wasn't able to qualify. However, teammate Joe Mason advanced from first place at Districts to place fifth at State. " f remember Districts the most since only Joe Mason qualified for State. It was the biggest achievement of the whole team.'" Larry Hastie said. "Districts were a little disappointing and there were people with injuries." While the team was not able to advance, it was not because they didn't work. The team practiced from 3: 15 to4:30 every night and had running practices every other morning from 7:00 to 8:00. "During practice we worked on calestenics, push-ups. sit-ups, matches and sprints," Jesse Hansen said. "I joined wrestling because it was an exciting sport and it was a challenge:· Wrestling was a sport that was not often noticed, but it offered a challenge for those who joined. "Wrestling appealed to me because it was a one-on-one sport. J f you messed up, you couldn't blame the team," Mason said. Wrestling was a sport that involved strategy. As in all sports. they had to be competiti ve. At practice, Aaron Jacobsen and Chris Beam run through live drills. They practiced everday after school until 4:30. (Photo by Ivy Landstrom.)

As he neared the finish line, he knew that his hard work had not been in vain. He had practice, exercised and worked for hours a week. Somehow. it all seemed worth it. "Track was really competitve and you could see if you could match up to the other runners," Peterson said. "I liked the hard work." Hard work paid off for two of the boys track members who qualified for State. Joel Brandt qualified in the 400 and Jason Conroy qualified in the 1600 and 3200. Brandt tied for ninth, just missing finals. Conroy placed ninth in the 3200. He also placed ninth in the 1600 with a careerbesttirneof 4:28:01.

"Once we got halfway through the season we did well," Melissa Hough said. "In the beginning no one knew each other, but we had good leaders who brought everyone together." One way the team overcame the lack of experience for some members was practice. The team would run on the streets and on the track to get in shape. " ff we didn 't have a meet for awhile, we would have a hard practice," Hough said. "The hard practices helped you set goals and target your pace." Overall, the girls track team was young. with only two seniors. However, the team seemed unaffected by the inexperience and showed leadership. "The team was young, but as the year went on there was a lot of improvement," Amanda English said. "We respected each other and we tried to help each other." Qua I ifications for State were a big priority for all sports. The 4x800 relay, composed of Melissa and Sarah Hough, Jeannie Mayotte and Andrea Lapham qualified for State and placed eighteenth. Also, Lapham qualified in the 400 hurdles, placing fowteenth along with April Reedy, who placed twenty-first in the 100 hurdles. "Girls track only gets one chance to qualify for State, while boys can qualify throughout the year. So advancing to State was the most exciting," Hough said. A large factor that affected the team was the weather. Snow in April and rain in May did not benefit the team. Instead it became another complication they had to face. "We weren't able to run in our first outdoor meet for a couple weeks and a lot of our meets were cancelled because of the rain," Margie Jennings said. ·'It affected us because we didn't do as well in our first outdoor meet as we had hoped." Rain or shine, the u·ack team faced the hurdles set before them. Throughout the season, they botb set and accomplished their goals while enjoying the expe1ience.

Girls held on after players were hurt With speed and determination, Amy Yochum dribbled down the field on her way to make a goal when she tripped and fell. A girl from the other team then tripped over the top of her and ended up on the ground next to her. The two girls went to get up and Yochum couldn'tget up. She ended up having to be carried off the field with help from the other team's trainer. Because of her fall. she had to have surgery at the end of the season. Later in the game a bee stung the goalie, Nikki Spetman, in her eye. She ended up sitting on the bench the rest of the game next to Yochum. The girls soccer team had a season with injuries that put them through a rough time. Some started worrying about themselves getting hurt after watching their friends get hurt. However throughout it all, the girls kept things together and came out with a season of9-9. " At the begining of the season, the injuries rea ll y started to hurt us," Tracy Lane said. "But at the end it wasn't a factor. " The g irls had quite a number of players who couldn't play because of injuries because of this they had trouble at the games.

Kristin Cooper thought it would be fun to pick up a piece of mud and throw it at Quinn Parrack. All at once, the battle began. What started out as a simple gesture, an all-out war commenced. The combat was all in fun, but after that the coaches never let chem practice outside after it rained. The JV rerun consisted of many new faces to soccer. The team was mostly made up of freshmen and lots of inexperience. Because of the inexperience, the N rerun ended up with a record of 2-10 . .. Our team was basically a lot of new players," Tiffany Marsh said. "Not only made up of mostly freshmen, but we had quite a few people that were just learning the game and that was great." Except for the mud fight, the practices were hard. They consisted of running but mostly they were a lot of drill practicing because they had to teach the new players to control the ball and score. "Ar practice the former players showed all of the new freshmen how to play," Amanda Nonnru1 said. "We had to help a lot along the way." At the practices, the uperclassmen took a large role. They had to teach and be examples for the freshmen. 'The upperclassmen were great this year," Marsh said. "Because of chem, I learned a lot and tlle year was rewarding." Even though the JV had a tough year, it was a learning experience and now they were ready to take on whatever mud was kicked at them.

Josh Jensen said. "All we did were sprints. We had to be at school at 6:45. I would say our team has done a lot better." After all of those early morning practices the team was in shape. They were ready co play and win. "It was my first year to play,·· Man Atherton said. "I was a forward and our team got better at passing and the overall playing of the game."

They had to work with fewer numbers and returning players. "We only had one other player returning besides me, so there was lack of expe1i ence with players having experience in a team situation," Josh Eve loff said. Members also had the problem of losing some matches. They had lost to Tee Jay for the fist time in ten years. " It was hard for us to lose to them," Tim Kukkone n said. " It had made the rest of our seaso n more dissapoin tin g fo r us." With disappointments a lso came success for team membe rs.

With a young N and varsity team, members had to get used to a new coach and different game styles. "Our new coach taught us a lot more about the game of tennis." Martina Howe said. "We had to learn more of the technical aspects of tennis from him." With a new team that was learning more about the game, came working hard together to make progress.

A golfer's worst nightmare, yet almost everyone had experienced it at least once while golfing. "At one game I was really nervous teeing off in front ofabout40 people," Steve Underwood said. "The first time I swung J completely missed the ball and the second time, the ball only went about ten feet." Although mistakes did occur, they didn't rule the game. With a rough start to the fall and spring season, the boy's golf team ended up doing fine. The weather played a big role in the spring season. With rainy days almost every week, the team couldn't get out and practice. "We didn't get much practice at the beginning of the season," Jason Hilz said. "We got better at the end of the season because we were able to get out and practice." Once the boys wereabletopractice, a difference could be seen in their games. The team won the city invite and placed third at the River City Conference meet. "Our goal was to be the best we could," Ray Mi!Jer said. Doing their best was always important, but being the best wasn't. Golf was golf no matter howgoodofaplayer one was. "I may not have As the ball rolls Steven Wheeler hopes for it to go in.

Part of liking the game was playing good, but the coach also played a big role. When Mrs. Neilson passed away Ln the fall season, the team mourned along with Mr. Neilson. The day of the funeral the team had a choice to make, it was also the day of Districts. After an important decision, the team ended up going to Districts. "Mr. Neilson meant a Lot to me, he was always there," Hilz said. "I wanted to win for him." After going tlu-ough such a tough time together, namrally the team became closer. "Mrs. Nei Ison' s death brought some of the new members closer to the varsity," Miller said. With all the problems the team came across, they still tried hard to be the best they could. They enjoyed the game whether t11ey won or not and made the best of it all.

The team would chip balls onto the green and when they were done, they would have to bring all the balls they hit back. "Mr. Brown accused me of not bringing enouoh balls back.'' Calli Sorensen said. "So 0 Jenny Non-nan said she'd teach me how to carry all of them back in my hands." Everyday in practice Sorensen and Nom1an would work on carrying all twenty balls in their hands while Breanne Schweer and Sarah Will stuffed the balls in their shirts. "We competed to see who could carry the most balls without cheating," Sorensen said. "If you put the balls in your pockets or shirt, that was cheating.'' By the end of the spring seas~ , Sorensen was able to carry twenty balls 111 her hands. Schweer and Will continued to cheat by carrying them in their shirts. . In matches and tournaments, the team did not cheat. They played their hardest and their efforts payed off. "We won basically all our matches,'' Schweer said. "It was my best season since my freshman year." Although the weather wouldn · t cooperate with the team, they adjusted and continued to play. With a wet and windy spring season, the girls worked even harder to play their best. "We were a young team," Schweer said "and we all knew what we had to improve on: We grew as a team and got better everyday." With individual and group improvements, the team played hard and had fun. "Golf is a sport you didn't have to be good at to enjoy," Sorensen said. Playing golf gave the members a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. How well they played wasn't the deciding factor to continue. it was the atmosphere in which they played.

The task was unmeasurable and the search for a starting place was overwhelming. Fresh summer mornings started at 8 a.m. With cheerleading camp fast approaching they worked quick to organize a cheer. They began with the basics and grew from there. After a few weeks of practice, they were prepared. "Camp was new to me, so J was a little scared about going there:' Jenny Hansen said. "After I got there, I realized that it was a great time, but was also very tiring and stressfull." Throughout their week of camp, the squad participated in various sessions. They not only learned a variety of techniques, but also the importance of squad unity. " My favorite activity at camp was the 'Shower of Compliments' activity," Tracy Lane said. "We all lined up and took turns going down the line and hugging everyone while they complimented you. Thal brought us closer together, and by the Lime we finished we were all in tears." The end of camp meant competition. Because they were nominated for the Top Team award, their determination pushed their sun - burned bodies to the max, which resulted their win for the Top Team award and a spirit stick. The bus ride home was qui et and smooth, quite a contrast to the year that was in store for them. The arrival of a new sc hool year brought with it the anual football picnic, pep assemblies and football dinners followed by the weekly Friday night football game. Among other things. they were required to maintain a positive spirit, a task that was not always easily accomplished.

The familiar s~ent of buttery hash brown patties and melred cheese crossantwich sandwiches were irresistable at 7:30 in the morning. Visiting the restaurant became an anticipated daily ritual for some JV cheerleaders. Early practices served as more thanjusr an opportunity to perfect the squad, but a great excuse to retreat co their favorite fast food place afterwards. "We decided who would go by seeing how many people we could smash into a couple of cars." Krista Alba said. "Going there nearly every morning and talking about something other than cheerleading gave us a chance to learn more about each other. Plus, we had a good breakfast too! " However, it was more than just early rehearsals that bound the squad together. Friendship and trust did as well. Two important qualities that allowed the team to function smoothly. "JV had a very unique quality:· sponsor, Kathy Wesrphal said. "They were friends and teammates at the same time. That was usually not too common, escpecially among a group of teenage girls." JV squad members were not only close, but dedicated as well. Throughout the season they cheered at all home and away JV and Reserve games, and attended all home Varsity games. Cheerleading was ofren their first priority on their school and social schedules. "I had a game to cheer at nearly every night of the week, and a lot of weekends coo.·· Elin Bocker! said. " le was really hard to be commited to cheerleading and school at the same time." While the JV squad personalities meshed near perfecrly, the freshmen cheerleading squad had a little more diJficulry. Soon after cheerleading began the squad became divided and argumentative. Cheerleading became a stressful! chore for freshmen caprains forced to listen to the complaints. ''At firsr the squad was di vided into two clicky groups." Elizabeth Norman said. "The two groups had a lot of problems and fights. Then there were two people thal separated from the groups so, everyone picked on them too." As the year progressed, the freshmen squad learned to cope with their problems and began to function as a productive squad. With the help of Westphal, they choreographed a routine which they competed with. "I loved practicing our dance, cheers and stunts together over Christmas break." Norman said. '"lt was the first time 1 felt like we were really a team. Even though we didn't place in the competition, we all had a great time celebrating our effort afterwards." For both squads. cheerleading had provided a year of learning and growing. They came to know a lot about one another and grew closer together. The sport that had unired them soon ended, but the friendship it brought still remained.

A trip to Nationals and a cheer called "Hercules" kept this squad together With the competiti veness of Nationals, team work and sportsmanship was a must.

The pommers were on a bus with another squad, on their way to Epcot Center in Florida, when one of the girls from the other squad shouted "Let's do 'Hercules!" Nicki Bomgaars and Molly Gordon laughed a little, but once they saw the little cheer. they thought it was cute and asked if the other squad could teach it to them. The other squ ad was fri endly and showed them the cheer. "At Nationals all of th e different squads had to be friendly to one another.

Some took the short cuts while others took the long way around. No matter which way they went, the Class of '97 had the same destination in sight: Graduation. The high school journey was a long one. They learned lessons for life and prepared for the real world. They supported, encouraged and taught eachother. The class of 1997 encountered many common obstacles along the way, passing junior english, driver's tests and rebuilding sports teams were a few. After reaching their destination the seniors realized the journey ahead was an even longer one. This time they would not have their classmates treading the same path beside them. This difficult journey was going to be traveleld alone. What the seniors had were the exp eriences and memories collected along the way to support, encourage and teach themselves on their new journey. With this in mind, they would not let road blocks or detours slow them down. They would not be stopped.

"But after we got on the subway, we were told our exit was closed."

Some students stopped doing their homework altogher. others skipped a lot more classes than normal, and in quite a few cases. some even graduated early.

Blank faces stared at numbers, letters. dates and words that seemed meaningless and impossible to learn. Teachers searched fo r a reliable reason as to why students continued to struggle with classroom work. However, the cause for fa ilure most commonly overlooked was the student's gender, which affected the success they experienced in certain subjects. At the University of Pennsylvania, studies of the male and fema le brain showed there was a difference in the way men and women learned. Females learned to read, write and spell quicker because they possessed bener auditory, verbal and motor skills. Males, on the other hand, progressed faster in math and science because they had more advanced visual and perception skills. Students discover that gender differences may be the cause for difficulties in some classes "The girls enjoyed reading more than the boys in my class," Carol Tiller, special education teacher, said.

"T strived to be the best that I could be, and I haven't let myself down yet." Coppock's dedication could be seen by the number of sports he played. He was active in football, basketball and soccer. He also played baseball for awhile. His strive to be the best left him with many recognitions. He was All-City and All-Conference for soccer in 1996, and A 11-Ci t y, A II-Con Ference.

" He would work with me during off seasons to improve my skills." Not on ly did Shad help Coppock improve his techniques, but he introduced him to athletics in the begi nning. " My clad, Shad, my brother Todd and I would always be playing one sport or another," he said. "Because Shad was older, I looked up to him, and wanted to be like him. He was my hero."

Above all, Kehm claimed that All State was the highest singing related accomplishment one could receive in high school.

After two previous failed attempts to make t11e All State Honor Choir, Kehm was determined and prepared to be a senior member. "When I got the results that I didn 't make it l was crushed," Kehm said. "You know that feeling you get, right in the center of your gut, when your sad and depressed? It was there, and it was huge."

"I remember crying myself to sleep that night," Kehm said. " I woke up the next morning and thought to myself~1at moaping around was silly and pointless. So I went for a3og and felt tons better." The iITesistible desire Kehm !Cit for music was quickly restored. Within her wounded soul, confidence reappeared and her content for music remained unharmed. Her disappointment was disguised by her unfailing familiar smile. To others, Kehm appeared stronger than ever. . "Danna worked extremely hard all three years she tned out for All State," Lee Spann said. "J respected her so much for the way she handled failure. She always had a very positive, great attitude for music that never changed." "For me, performing was one tremendous rush," Kehm said. "When I was on staoe I was forced to smile and act awake and excited. And it rubbed off and I'd come off stage alive and ready to go again.'' ' After dozens of perfom1ances, there was only a few Kehm remembered best.

"We were performing with swing choir in front of a huge audience our sophomore year," Breanne Schweer said "Somehow, Danna had tucked the back of her dress up int~ her pantyhose and w~und up performing that way!

Bl ue yearbook and production assistant for Cox Cable, Your News 2. Scheer's interestinjournalism was strange in the sense that she got this far from "accidents." As a freshman, Scheer took an Introduction to Journalism class only because she needed another credit. However, she liked it, so she signed up for yearbook. Scheer admitted she was intimidated her first year. "The upperclassmen would sit at the computers and they wouldn' teven acknowledge us," Scheer said. "Then again, that motivated me to put more effort in my stories." BecauseofScheer's dedication to meet deadlines with high quality, she was named people editor for her junior year. Besides her leadership responsibilities for yearbook, she was a reporter for AL Insider. "It was a tough year," Scheer said. " I was new at editing and reporting. r had double the deadlines and double the responsibilities." Scheer handled the pressure welJ. At the insider banquet, she received awards for the second Best Feature Story and runner-up for Best Story of the Year. Thanks to her awards she won during her first year, she was named Repo1ter of the Year. "I couldn't believe that I got those awards, especially Reporter of the Year," Scheer said. "I was in the running against a couple seniors and L thought they would never elect a rookie." After the awards for the 1995-96 season, applications for editorial positions for the 1996-97 staff followed. "Somehow my name ended up on the list to apply for producer," Scheer said. "I didn't want to say no so I just filled ouL the forms. r didn 't think I had a chance anyway." To her surprise, Scheer was accepted as one of the two "l started out rippin g scri pts and running tbe teleprompter or camera," she said. "But then in December 1 was moved up to production assistant. Then. i nsteacl of just being an intern, I got paid." Even though Scheer was always on the run, she was confident it would all pay off. "It gave me a lot of leadership skills and first-hand experience that I could take with me. I was always learning something new and getting better at what I did." She was not sure whether she wanted to major in print or broadcast journalism, or where she wou Id go lo college. Jenni Underwood, editor-in-chief of the yearbook, was confident Scheer would excel in whatever she chose. "Sarah's going to be someone someday," Underwood said. "She wasn't afraid to take risks. Whatever it took. Sarah met the challenge." With Underwood's experience, she thought Scheer had what it took to be a journalist. "She was very goal-oriented and talented," Underwood said. "She was independent, but on the other hand, she also worked well with others. She was a strong leader and very motivating." Sarah said she relied on motivation. She strived to make her work the best and thought the most rewarding moment was when she got to see her finished project. "There were times when the pressure got to me and l just fe lt li ke quiting," Scheer said. "But then 1' d get such a rush from seeing myselfon the TV screen or reading my name in the yearbook. That's what really kept me going." It was Scheer's love of journalism and need for perfection that kept her after school day after clay. Every finished deadline moved Scheer a step closer to her dream. By MeUssa Wagner In order to meet a yearbook deadline, Sarah Scheer helps Jenni Underwood place a story.

(Photo by Lindsay McElderry) 1 b The crowd was awed by his amazing abilities along with his strength and focus. He perfectly performed his routine nine and a half feet above the ground on the still rings. He attempted a double flip as the crowd he ld their breath. When Matt Kenkel fell head fast to the floor, the crowd gasped. "I tried to do two flips, but I got lost somewhere in the middle and did one and a half, " Kenkel said, " It didn't hurt, itjustshocked me." Mistakes, however, weren 'tcommonduring performances for Kenkel. It was near perfection that won him a nationaJ award, took him to State, and the Junior Olympics. From the Lime he was tluee years old, Kenke l flipped and tumbled in and out of the gym. When he began, gymnastics was just something for Ke nkel to do, but soon there was a goal to achieve. "We put him in gymnastics as sort of an outlet for energy," Gail Kenkel, Matt's motl1er, said. "It was like, here try tl1is. After awhile, he just got hooked." Kenkel practiced at the gym three nights a week from six until nine. His coaches, Todd Crouse and George Hall, not only helped him perfect his routines, but inspired him as well. "Todd had done in the sport what I wanted to do." Kenkel said. " l wanted to be a college gymnast and compete at tl1e Olympics in the year 2000.'' Kenkel worked hard to change his dreams to reality. In August of 1996, Kenkel competed at the Junior Olympics in New Orleans. LA. He finished e leventh overall. Kenke l said he could have clone better, but he was sick with strep throat for part of t11e week. Ke nke l also achieved the title of National Vault Champion in 1995. Kenkel' s other achievements included receiving the Joel Ferre l I award and a nomination for the row a Gymnast of the Year. "A coach who watched me perform nominated me for the Iowa Gymnast award. not my own coaches.'' Kenkel said. "Even thoug h 1 didn't receive it, I felt honored because sophomo res weren' t usually nominated." He did. however, receive the Joel Ferre ll award. The award was given to one male and one female gymnast in tile nation for their leadership skills and abiUty. The award was presented to him at the Junior Olympics. "l was surprised when tlley called my name. I had no idea tllat I was in the runnino for it," Kenkel said. "' Despite all tl1e hours of hard work Kenkel spent in the gym, he still made time for his friends, school and work. " Matt wasn't left out of the social circle at all," Chris Machmuller said. "We went to football games and did things other teenagers did." Kenkel' s mother agreed that he was able to handle everything just fine. "He gave it all up willingly," she said. "It was his decision to continue to focus on gymnastics and go for the goals he made." Kenkel's parents suppo11ed him over tile years. They went to meets and showed him how much they cared. "They were supportive, but tlley didn't pressure me," Kenke l said. "Basically. tlley were the nonnal proud parents.'' His parents never pushed, they always made sure what he did was what he wanted. "Life is fo ll of decisions," Mrs. Kenkel said. "We didn't force him, it was his choice . We've always made sure he continued on his own will." Altllough his main focus was on gymnastics, Kenkel also got invoJved in otller activities. He played tile French horn in band and tile trumpet in jazz band, he nm hurdles for track and was on the basebal I team. and also a part of National Honors Society and the Sci~nce Club. With not much free time and a lot to do. some wondered why he continued to do gymnastics. "Ifs what defined me," Kenkel said. " It's just what I did." Gymnastics was what Kenke l did, rmd he was good at it. He worked hard to pursue his goals and never gave up, no matte r what happened. Even a fall on his head during a routine didn't phase him-too much.

Ammie Campbell made her way down the hallways of Kim and entered the handicapped room where she volunteered. She wondered why the room was so clean. It was never this clean. She sat down with the other students to play a game, but was distracted when a camera crew entered the room. TY news reporter Caroll Schrader asked if she was Ammie Campbell, then congratulated her for being the recipient of Channel 7's 'Puning People First' award. "My mom had nominated me buc r had no idea about it," Campbell said. ' 'They taped the entire surprise and put it on the news. It was pretty cool." The day she was recognized by the community for her volunteer work was unlike any other for Campbell, but she didn' t devote so much of herself to others for the awards. Campbell volunteered as a helper in the handicapped room not because she had to, because she wanted to. "Everyone at school was really mean to the handicapped kids," Campbell said. "Over time I became one of their friends and someone they depended on. I liked it when they came up to me in the hallways and gave me hugs." Having a student helper in the room had a strong impact on the handicapped students. Campbell proved that she was not like everyone else. "Ammie didn' t treat the kids any differently. She would do things like look through magazines with the kids just as she would do with her own friends," Pat Bennett, a teacher's assistant, said. ''The kids had problems just like anyone else, and they liked having the opportunity to talk to someone their own ageaboutthem." Campbell's nature wasn't to sit around and feel sorry for those in need. She acted upon her concerns. " I guess I just had a super-tender heart because every time I saw a homeless person 1 wanted to cry," Campbell said. "I used to drive past the Micah House eve1yday, so one day J stopped in." While many teenagers complained when they had to clean their rooms, Campbell gave up weekends and took notice. vacations to do most of the cleaningandchoresat the shelter. Helping out in the smallest ways gave Campbell a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. "I would make posters and play with the kids at the shelter,,. Campbell said. ''The kids were just happy to have someone there to play with them." The special bonds Campbel I shared with those she helped kept her wanting to do more and more good deeds. She gave up every Saturday and began candy striping at Jennie Edmudson Hospital. Her generosity was sincere and others "Ammie always displayed a positi ve, helpful attitude," Sarah Huckins, a fellow candy striper, said. "After Ammie left patients' rooms, I would hear them say how nice she was. That reflected well on Ammie and the program." Helping others was not just a phase Campbell went through, but something she wanted to continue for the rest of her Life. She planned to become a teacher for handicapped children because helping others helped Campbell become someone she was happy with. "Volunteering gave Ammie a great attitude about everything else in her life,'' Jeremy Campbell, her brother, said. "I thought it was great that she liked helping people." Suppo1t from fami ly and friends meant a lot to Campbell. It didn't take awards for those close to her to recognize how hard Campbell worked to help others. "Ammie always put people ahead of herself," Emily Reeder, Campbell's friend, said. "She gave everyone a chance. It didn't matter what they looked like, who they were or what background they came from." To touch others' li ves with compassion and kindness was not only an ability Campbell possessed but something she thrived on. The satisfaction she received from helping others was worth more to her than any award. By Sarah Scheer Roles reversed, Ammie Campbell eats a spoonful of applesauce from the child she babysits.

Along with the rest of the team, he practiced hard, improved his moves and perfected his The night after tryouts Cannon received the call from cheerleading sponsor, Ronda Nieto, who told him he had made lhe junior varsity squad. At firsL no one knew how sportsmanship. He was loud and spirited just like his teammates. The only difference was he didn't shave his legs, and he never wore a skirt. r:' ve.. ~ \ '-VC\."(f bee"' o ~~ to +Y'f ~e..\.V +~;~t . So) ~"'e\\ committed Cannon was about cheering. It wasn't until the first day of school, when all the cheerleaders wore their uniforms, lhat they knew he was serious. According lo Cannon, being different was hard, but being AL's only male cheerleader was a challenge. "I was used to being the center of attention because I'd been in a lot of plays. bul being a cheerleader was different," Cannon said. "I felt like the crowd was constantly critiquing me because I was lhe only male ~'l"ist-"- J "'<.obt&\ bV'o "'j "+ i.A.~ +"'4,. 1'().t~ "f- ~t.t.vl tqd, ~ J :r: !t:t1tA/'&J'1or Jo.-.,._, ~S~ ~.e...-f~ .... +Yyi~ o~1""? 1 ' ·Tue first day of school I got a lot of positive comments alono . 0 with about six negative ones;· Cannon said. "I think people who put me down for being a cheerleaderdid il because they were not used to seeing male cheerleaders.·' ~11lt--- According to his squad co-captain, Melissa Wohlers,judging by Cannon's altitude at practice he seemed 10 enjoy practicing and cheering. on the squad." Before tryouts, during his sophomore year, Cannon never considered Lrying out for cheerleading. It wasn't until haJ fway through first quarter, that he even took cheerleading seriously, when his friend Krista Jacobsen, suggested he tryout. ''When Kiista first mentioned that I should go out for cheerleading, she was just joking. But after I thought about it awhile, I thought, maybe it is something I'd want to lry." With cheerleading Lryouts fast approaching in April, Cannon had to decide whether he should tryout for cheerleading. He sought advise from Jo Cupp, his English instructor. "I encouraged Shawn to tryout for cheerleading when everyone else was telli ng him not to," Cupp said. "I knew he could do it, and he's a easy person to get along with." Two days before tryouts Cannon told his parents he had decided to t1yout for cheerleading. He missed the first day of practice, therefore he only had the remaining two scheduled practice days and the weekend lo !cam lhe tryout dance. two cheers, make up a chant and perfect his jumps. All the odds were against him, but Cannon remained determined to make the squad. "Shawn's a very dedicated person. If he decided to do somethi ng, he's going to give it his all," said Jim Cannon, Shawn·s father. "Shawn talked to a male cheerleader over the internet who had gotten a scholarship from cheerleading. I think knowing that really inspired him:· ·'Shawn's a positive person. and he's fun to be around." Wohlers said. ·'He fit in well, just like any other person on the squad. We needed more guys like Shawn on the squad. It's just that people made ha vino a ouy on the squad up to be a lot more than it really was." "" "' Cannon was prepared and anxious to see just how people would react to him at his first pep assembly. He was overwhelmed when nearly half of the student body gave him a standing ovation. Cannon was just as pleased with the positive response of the crowd toward him at the football games. "Cheerleading was a really great experience," said Cannon. ''I'd definitely encouraged other males to tryout for cheerleading for the same reason l would have encouraoed girls. It was fun and something to do." 0 As far as other activities went, Cannon claimed he would continue to participate in all of his cu1Tent perfo1111ino art activities and clubs. However. sports would remain a thing of Cannon's pasl. ·'People were always asking me why I didn'tplay football. Well, I wasn't good at football:· Cannon said. ··1 couldn·t he! p it if l don't tit their standards. The only thing u1at mattered to me was what I thought.·· Mosl people accepted and respected the factthat there was a male cheerleader. Those who didn't were invisible to Shawn. "People were entitled to say what they wanted:· Cannon said. "but like l'vc always said. never take to heart lhe opinions of people you don't respect.'"

Not as many businesses developed in the area as in years past. Several closed down including Homers, Valentinos on Broadway and quite a few shops in the Mall of the Bluffs. The recent development of the casinos, and the restaurants and hotels in the Lake Manawa area may have slowed business down, forcing a few to close.

I guess you could say we've accomplished our goal-we may have been slowed down, worked to death and tired, but we were never stopped! The last three years have been very n1emorable, in fact the list of memories could go on forever. Most importantly,· we grew as friends yet became individuals. The lessons learned in room 234 did not stop with journalism but continued with life. As far as tips for life are concerned we should survive if we remember to listen to Smashing Pumpkins at least once a day, eat beans, never chew on foil and just be your "Basic girls". For a few of us, the last two summers have been yearbook "bonding" experiences. Both Dana College and UNL will never be forgotten. What will we do next fall when don't have any stupid Jenni stories to laugh at? Wagner and Quigley, I suggest you learn the Hymleck maneuver, and Lisa, always carry a spare key to the bathroom. Even though only a few of us got to enjoy summer workshops, we all got the pleasure of attending the retreat. That was the first time we realized exactly how extremely different we all were. In fact, the only thing we could all agree on was Body, Mind and Soul (Everyone except for Sharpe anyway!) It is amazing how each one of us (unique as we were) contributed to such an important part to the book. It couldn't have been done without every single person. Thank you to every one of you, your hard work and dedication was appreciated. Most of all thank you to Sarah Scheer. Sarah was my cheerleader when I was down, kicked me in the butt when I gave up and a friend when I needed it most. This book wouldn't have been done without her. Her strength, talent and dedication really shined this year. Get her autograph now because she's going to be something some day! By the way, what was that you ran over Sarah, a deer, dog, or woodchuck? Whatever it was, it must have been in disguise! We were quite a team. A team that shared the joys of winning (are you sure there's not another AL?), the tears and heartaches of growing up (He gave me a seashell), and the pride of success (my file cabinet shrine is better than yours!) Where ever life may lead you please hold precious the memories we shared. We have created friendships for a lifetime. With the wisdom and knowledge we have instilled in one another the world is in our hands. We will not be stopped. Ready to go home, Sharpe, Kelly Quigley and Sarah Scheer wait for the limos to take them to the airport. Enjoying thier first night in Chicago Thatcher, McElderry, Scheer, Berner, Kracher and Underwood relax with dacquari. After a long week, Lindsay McElderry, Sarah Scheer and Lisa Berner ride to the Chicago airport in a spacios limosine. Atthe NHSPAjournalism convention Jenni Underwood and Lisa Berner got superior ratings in their write-off contests. Those pesky newspaper people! Lindt s a y McElderry and Carrie Thatcher share a bonding moment.

Out of the five seniors on the team, four of them achieved the strenuous goal of making it to state. They wanted to go so they could say, "We did it." They also wanted to feel the adrenaline rush of competing against the states finest swimmers. "My only goal was to be in the state swim meet this year," Tovrea said. The other four seniors on the team had the same goal including four-time State participant Joshua Hale. They could also agree that this was the best winter season the boys swim team has had in fifteen years. withe Taking one last breath Amanda English '99 finished her 500-meter freestyle. When the Kirn pool broke during the fall season, the girls swim team had to practice with their cross-town rivals Lewis Central. This caused them to practice harder because their competition was right beside them, but some girls thought there were draw backs. "I think we could have done better if we practiced in our own pool because we would have had more space;' Amanda English '99 said. "And we had to leave practice early because there was another team that practiced as soon as we were done:' Sharing a pool meant cramming the whole girls team of twenty-four into four or five lanes. They had outstanding fall season, however, keeping the city title after beating the L.C. girls team. ;s Sports•Mike Argotsinger After doing a turn Jill Bryson '00 got ready to finish the butterfly leg of the 200-meter medley relay.

"But I had to have surgery done on my arm." Not only was Bryson plagued with injury, but several other injuries brought the whole team down during the winter season.

Although meets were long, the cheerleaders still made it interesting. "Cheering for wrestling was more mentally based," Copeland said. "It could get boring sometimes but we always made it fun :· To make the meets more enjoyable the cheerleaders made it a tradition to make pillows to give to each other. The cheerleaders also made pins which they gave the wrestlers every time an opponent was pinned. It was because of these traditions that the cheerleaders and wrestlers became better friends. p Flying for the reshman, Ashley Grimm '02, reached for the stars. The assembly was the freshmen's first opportunity to show the school their stuff. "Flying looked scary at first," Grimm said. "I was dropped once, but after that my bases got serious and now I really like it:' Although stunting could be dangerous, flyers were not often dropped. Being one of only three flyers on the freshman squad, Grimm got her place in the spotlight. All American and all conference cheerleader Sara Schofield hits her "high V" during a pep assembly held before the state play-off football game. The girls practiced every morning before the game to look their best. "I was excited that our football team did so well," Schofield said. "Football was my favorite sport and was the most exciting:' Along with cheering for the football team, the cheerleaders participated at Nationals in Dallas, Texas over Christmas break. Although the squad didn't place first it was worth the time they put into it. f" S'IRlt. ingers After a cheer at one of the home basketball games Ashley Schropp '01 and Liz Norman '00 showed their spirit fingers to the crowd.

It was because of their hard work that Varsity did so well. Cheerleading 1'J Taking 4 . k r1s With a half smile on her face, and feeling nervous, Samantha Tyler '99 danced with her squad. Most girls on the squad were experienced pommers. "I went out as a senior, and made the squad," Tyler said. "I felt different performing in front of people because other girls had more experience." Making the squad for the first time was nerve racking, but the tension quickly eased. "By the end of the year," Tyler said, "Everyone was good friends and knew each other well." Whether you were a pommer returning for the fourth year or just starting as a senior, you were accepted. All pommers were good friends and stuck together all year long.

Remember, you started hanging out after school, doing 'club things' with your 'friends.' Despite our jobs and families we always found time to stay after school and hang up posters or come to school at seven to brush up on our acting skills.

They exercised their minds and found ways to beat the winter doldrums. "I participated in Chess Club because it was something to replace a winter sport, and it didn't take up much of my time," said Kyle Lapham '00. "Chess was easy to learn, and the more you played, the better you got." Sponsored by Chris Schultz, the Chess Club was open to players of all abilities, novice or experienced. Members in the upper rankings participated in chess meets. Chess was a game of skill and strategy, played by people of all ages. A fairly old pastime, it was enjoyable by anyone seeking cerebral challenges. Chess Club Front Row: Andrew Mcintosh, Kyle Lapham, Rebecca Ekstrom, Mike Fisher.

Most students envisioned their senior year as a time to cut back, slack off and enjoy their last months of dependence. Nevertheless, what some believed to be a time of fun was also filled with the stress of choosing and applying to the right college. "Getting your application, transcripts, ACT scores and everything sent could be annoying," Marlina Howe '99 said. "The hardest part about applying was writing about yourself." Pens in hand, thousands of seniors gazed over college applications, flyers, and letters saying a particular college was "the one." Coming to the ultimate conclusion whether a school was right or not, however, was decided by the individual. "I applied to the University of Iowa, University of Nebraska at Lincoln, Northwest Missouri State, and Hastings," Kala Ginn '99 said. "I choose Iowa because it was topranked in the nation for broadcast journalism. I also liked Lincoln because they had a good journalism department and I knew the city really well." Not only did students have to decide what schools they wanted to apply too, but they also had to decide how many applications to fill out. Some did not want to take the risk of applying to only one Glancing through a college information book, Brandy Mefferd '99 was able to learn about a college's statistics, ranking and size.

"I applied to more than one school because I didn't know if I would be accepted to tt1e schools I chose," Chad Breckenridge '99 said. "I figured two for two was better than two to one." While the senior year was not entirely what some expected it to be, it all worked out in the end.

Being considered an adult was an important thing for teenagers. There were cerAlongside a brochure tower, Karen Grimsley '99 browsed through a pamphlet at the Army Recruting Office. By turning 18, a person was able to join the army or other United States Forces. (Photo by Amy Nissen.) tain rites of passage that some believed had to be fulfilled. "It's great to finally be able to step foot into the finest establishment in town," Steve Underwood '99 said, ''the Adult Emporium." Positive aspects weren't the only side to the long awaited 18th birthday, negative ones were also recognized. "If you get into trouble they can try you as an adult," Grimsley said. Stricter laws didn't seem to overshadow the perks to no curfews, ·credit cards and exotic locations. Students still looked forward to turning 18 and the idea of becoming an official adult with responsibilities didn't seem to bug anyone.

Students found that our school had been shot at with orange paintballs and spraypainted with things like "Tee Jay Rules!" and"#*!$ AL!". "When I was a sophomore I smashed pumpkins all over Tee Jay with some upperclassmen," Jesse LaRosee '99 said. "I used to think it was cool but I think that they took it too far with the spray paint this year." Although some people were shocked to see our school vandalized at the hands of our city rival, to most people this was nothing new. Some said the rivalry between AL and Tee Jay had been around for as long as they could remember. "We used to have an old cannon on top of the hill and Tee Jay would go up there and throw orange paint all over it," Don Sheibler said, an AL teacher of 38 years,. "Then AL would retaliate and go get them with red and blue paint." The graffiti on our school was boarded up or painted over as soon as possible, but the rivalry between AL and Tee Jay is a tradition and there is no chance that it will be called off any time soon.

Junior high, two years of you life to get out of elementary and prepare for high school. Many freshman students are glad to be out of junior high. Snickers, Starburst, Milky Way, Hostess Twinkies and Mountain Dew. The list of prohibited items from Kirn could go on. "I like high school way more than junior high," Heath Gunderson '02 said, "I like that we are allowed to eat candy and food in classes." Along with eating food in class, students are also allowed to chew gum, drink pop and carry backpacks. Carrying all of your books on you back seems to make life harder during the school day. Being able to carry all of your books with you is an advantage "I hated going to my locker during our three minute passing period," Andrew Batt '02 said, "I was always late because I still had to talk to my friends." 118 People •Janelle Mohr Brian Erisman Mallari Evans James Falknor Jennifer Faubl Alexis Fisher Joshua Flenker Keith Foote Keith Forrester Hollie Fort Sara Foust Christopher Fowler Ashley Freeman Misti Freeman Victor Gonzalas Christina Good Charity Gouge Ryan Grandick Shannon Greenwood Beth Grego Stanley Gregory Ashley Grimm Carson Gross Arlana Gum Heath Gunderson Edward Gustin Brian Gwinner Lucas Hale Stephanie Hall Jennifer Hancock Virginia Hansen Colby Harris April Harvey Zebulon Haskins Denise Hatcher Heather Haven Tarus Hayes Jennifer Hendrick Sonja Hendrick Michelle Hein Undsey Helser Mindy Helbing Alison Henderson Amber Henfer-Wolfe Dana Hicks Jason Hlmmelsehr Melissa Hodapp Ryan Hollins Erin Hood Erica Horton Jack Hottell Jenna Hurd Alicia Iden James Jackson Steven Jacobs Carol James Joseph Jayjack Joshua Jeffries Brian Jensen Keith Johnson Justin Johnston Michael Johnston Amanda Jones Mark Jurgens Joseph Justesen Rickie Kellar Kyle Kennedy Nathan Kerkman Lucas Kern Sara Kernes Joanna Kilnoskl Austin Kissel Kelly Kissel Julie Kjeldgaard Jake Knott Rodney Koehrsen Elisha Kohl Benjamin Kuhn Andrew Kukkonen Kalub Ku nick Zachary Larsen Brianna Legge Doug Leinen Christian Lemus Adam Lewis Jennifer Liddick Sara Lingner Matt Long TravlsL ng Seth Lorenz Chris Lutz Freshman 119 12.(J Thomas Mackland Dereke Mallory Doug Malone Dustin Malone Jesse Manhart Anthony Markussen Christina Martin Josephina Martinez Nicholas McAtee Matthew McCarthy Bryan McClure Matthew McCoid Stephanie McCoid Scott McConnell Jlmm!McCoy Sarah McDermott Christian McDowell Adrienne McElderry Katie McGrath Kerry McGrath Joe McGrath Patrick McGuire Kyle McKee Bryan McKern Samuel Mclean James McMillen Joe Monell Matthew McPartland Melissa McSorley Robert Meleney Amanda Merica Brandy Meyers Severin Michalski Christopher Milner Billy Monroe Willa Moon Justin Moore Jessica Moreno Patricia Morely Aubrey Muffley Ashton Nalley Ryan Neighbors Julie Nelsen Jessica Nelson Mlkala Newkirk Huyen Nguyen Suzanne Nikkel Laura O'Brien David Ortiz Stephanie Osborn Benjamin Osborne Richard Palen Joseph Patten S.

Never \0° 0 Many students at ALHS still played with or collected toys for fun. Jarad Zimmerman '01 was brave enough to admit to playing with toys. Zimmerman's favorite toy was the ever popular GI Joe. One toy that he wanted to bring back was the old Transformers. "You're always a kid at heart," Zimmerman said. At age sixteen, he played with GI Joe's and Z-Bots. His reasons for playing with toys were boredom and when his little cousins visited he had to entertain them. Sometimes he just felt like creating new and interesting things. Some students preferred not to admit to letting their childish side out and only wanted to be known as collectors. One of them was Mary Sciortino 00'. "I collected Pez Dispensers because they're cool". Scortino said. She had been collecting them since the second or third grade and has thirty-two total. Her favorites were her Yoda and Speedy Gonzalez Pez dispensers. Brandy Mefferd '99 collected Snoopy items. Herreason behind her collection was that her Dad and her Grandpa both did truck pulls at fairs. There is no picture to go right here, but here is a caption. (Photo by Alanah Davis.) Their truck was named Snoopy and in the back of the truck was a red doghouse with Snoopy on top of it. "I've been collecting these items ever since I could remember," Mefferd said Her favorites were her Snoopy lotion dispenser and Snoopy fishing bobber. So next time you're asked whether you play with toys don't be ashamed you can be a kid anytime as long as no one is looking. 122 People • Mike Argotsinger Christi na Young David Zabel Lee Scarbourough Laura Scarpello Autumn Scheer Eric Scheid Steven Schliep Megan Schmeling Craig Schnider Amanda Schofield Megann Schultz Nicole Schulz Jeffry Schuster John Selbert Thomas Seymour Jeanette Shade Jessica Shamblen Shane Shea Amy Short Chrissy Short Michael Showers Jessica Sloup Jonathan Smay Derek Smith Justin Snyder Will Solomon Zachary Somers Bethany Spilde Jess Sprinkel Bethany Stenner Joseph Stevens Melissa Stevens Norma Stevens Alisha Stokes SaraStopak Matthew Stork Melissa Swanger Patrick Swolley Laura Teeple Amanda Terveer Dustin Thomas Scott Thomas Aaron Thompson Alicia Thompson Joshua Thompson Trevor Tletsort Lisa Tlffey Amanda Tomalr Amanda Tomich Nathan Towne Kim Anh Tran Amy Trescott Kyler Underwood Crissy Vacanti Daniel Vance Andre VanderVelde Adam Van Voltenberg Omar Vargas Kristoph e r Vroman Dylan Wade Heather Wajda Heather Walter David Walvoord Bri an Wangberg Alicia Watt Andrew Weare Caitlin Wearne Jacob Weatherill Andrew Webb Troy Weelborg Jenny Weilage Joseph Wendi Matthew West Wlllliam Whitem an Scott Wiese Kera Wilcox Kurt Wildasln John Williams St even W inger Megan Wohlers Daniel Wolfe Reb ecca Wri g ht Freshman Richard Adam Counselor Larry Argersinger PE Steve Barker Science Diane Born Business Dave Brown PE ~uth Brown Calculus, Algebra Alynn Coppock English Kristy Courter DECA Jim Cunningham Spanish Dennis Devault History Christine Fink Chemistry Patti Ford Home Ee.

"The award we gave Ryan was a "Gag" award,'' Pregon said, "it was an award given in a lighthearted manner that was of something humorous he did during the season:' Although many of the students received awards that were of a serious nature, the gag awards given by the sponsors were memorable to the students.

If you liked to write, design, or take pictures, Crimson and Blue was probably on your class schedule. The staff who composed the school yearbook was made up of students from all the grade levels. Most of them already had some experience when they fi lled out the Crimson and Blue application. "I was in Introduction to Journalism with Mr. Sharpe. I got really interested in page design and he told me that I would probably enjoy being on yearbook," Alanah Davis '99, Crimson and Blue editor in chief, said. Interests in design weren't the only motivation for filling out an application. Other students joined the Crimson and Blue staff for different reasons. "I really liked to write and I thought that it would be fun," Katie Comley '01 said. Being on yearbook had it's rewards and the staff enjoyed the results of their efforts to create a memorable yearbook. "I like seeing the finished product, because I know how much time I spent on it. It's nice to be able to reflect on the memories," Alanah Davis '99 said. In order to produce a final product, deadlines had to be met and stories had to be finished . "I liked deadlines, because they gave you a goal to work toward, but they also come at the worst times," Alanah Davis '99 said. When it came down to it, the staff had a final product to be proud of. It was nice for them to work on something that created memories for the entire school and still provided a creative outlet whatever their position may have been.

Their efforts were the most obvious during production week and worknights, which often started full of stress and ended full of laughter. "I like it when we have worknights and we can joke around with each other, because we're such good friends," Kylie Stemple '99, Echoes' feature editor said. The laughter and jokes seemed to bring the group together. Perhaps, it is the togetherness that made being around one another easier. "Interacting with all the people was the best part. It's fun not to have a lot of structure, but to still be capable of getting stuff done,'' Brady Spangenberg '00, Echoes' sports editor said. Production week was busy and full of stress, but many things got done during this week. "There was so much to do with so little time to get everything done. It ended up being all worthwhile, because once the paper was out we could sit down together and laugh about our mistakes," Erin Bockert '99, Echoes' managing editor said. Between the chaos of meeting deadlines and the jokes about their mistakes, it can be recognized that the Echoes staff is one that worked well together.

There is litte you haven't tried, Yet in your spills, little you've cried. You have been a wonderful but expensive son, From all your E.R. visits to Mercy & Jennie Edmundson. With having your first stitches at eighteen months old, We knew you were going to cost your weight in gold. When you were five & broke your right collar bone, You were not even in a war zone. In all your spills and thrills you've had no fear, You wouldn't even wear your helmet and gear. So when you were on your bike and hit by a car, Fortunately you didn't even get a scratch or scar. At least you made it past the age of three, Before you shot the B.B. in above your left knee. It seemed to be your personal goal not to be bored, As long as you could crash your roller blades and skateboard. And when the paint ball pellet hit you in the jugular, It didn't stop you from being a struggler. In off campus P.E. when you broke your right hand bowling, You taught yourself to use the other hand & kept on strolling You have given us many a scare, It's no wonder we both have grey hair. Continue to dream big and aim high, But work hard so those dreams don't pass you by. Be happy and safe in all you do, For you're our son and we love you. You're no longer a baby, that makes us a little sad, But congratulations senior, love Mom and Dad. 3 months old 6 months old Mike, Dan Solon and Ben Pahl '99 Ads 16, li ~ 3ll ! 164 Community WaHu '!!Hne r ·- Kathleen Snodqrass washinUIOn Class of 1993 Abraham Lincoln Class of 1999 .

We're taking this moment to tell you we're proud, You're our special brother who stands out in a crowd. From a really cool guy to a ornery little tike, You have sure read1ed your goal to ' be like Mike'. Maybe not by a diamond-filled championship ring, But your ability and courage to do the right thing. The character, in tergti ty, and respect you both hold, All powerful traits, worth so much more than gold. Even MJ would agree though, lifes not always sweet, And tha tS one strong argument you cannot quite defeat. You've probably forgotten some of what you've done, So we'll trigger your memory, one by one. I'm sure Becky will forgive you for her emotional scar, When you named her accomplice to paint the house with tar. And Krissa now appreciates your yearning for knowledge, When you smashed her calculator she needed for college. When you were three, you took your goose for a walk, And unfortunately for that pet, it was unable to talk. You tied a tight rope around that poor gooses head, And when you returned, you guessed it, he was dead. The emergency-room staff once knew you by name, But with all those casts & Band-A.ids, doctors wanted to blame. 'ltS the parents; they thought, th.ier reasoning was deductive, Then they realized you were born naturally self-destructive. You sang Kokomo loud-and-dear in your shower, And on game days in Lincoln yelled out ' Husker Power" You gulp milk from the jug, you put holes inthe wall, You ate through your playpen, and were born to play ball. Dave Drennen Class of 19 73 Maresy, You've always been a blessing and a challenge. You made tough decisions and followed through. We're so proud of you and we'll be there to celebrate when you graduate from college. Love, Mom and Dad You'll take in all pets, you wake up at dawn, From the time you could walk you would help mow U1 e lawn. But driving experience from that hefty john Deere, You wouldn't think you would wreck a brand-new Cavalier. You have given us so mucl1 these past 18 years, Through game-wins much joy, through fighting many tears, And we only hope someday if we have little tikes, They lvill greatly admire and want to be like you, Mike.

We have accomplished a goal and we are all still alive despite the death threats from Ms. Graham. (Just Kidding.) We've survived the greatest fight of all. (Remember that one worknight.) We have recieved our proofs. (6 months later.) Through it all, we have learned a little about everyone: who can paint nails the best (Liz); who is inseparable (Emily and Sarah, Laura and Amy, Heather and Amy); and who could take a bathroom trip for 20 minutes (Claire and Katie.) Then there is J.D. who I think managed to have been yelled at by everyone on staff at least once in one class period, except for me. Sorry, J.D. I'm sure they all would like to apologize. I would like to thank everyone for sticking with me all year long, we have created a book that will not be forgotten.

Sarah McCall '00 turned her face away from the nurse as she pushed the needle through the surface of her skin. A drop of blood formed on her arm around the needle and tears streamed down her face. McCall's legs were shaking and her breath was shallow. She had already started to feel the after shock. "It hurt, but it was a relief, too," McCall said. "The fear and an~icipation was the worst part. I felt so proud, yet I was instantly drained. I knew it would go to someone in need so I made myself do it. I was glad I could help." Many people agreed with McCall. Joel 'Parker '00 had a problem giving blood, but that did not stop him from donating again. "The nurse missed my vein and blood went everywhere," 'Parker said. "They didn't want me to look at my arm because they thought I would pass out. It hurt more than last year and my arm had a bruise for two weeks, but I still plan to give blood again. It saves lives." Some students who were unable to give blood were disappointed and jealous. Mandy Evans 'oo did not have enough iron. "I wanted to do something good for someone else," Evans said. "Someone said you help three people every time you give blood. I was jealous of the other girls that were in cross country with me that got to give blood and not run." Students weren't the only people involved in the blood drive. Kathleen Stubbs, a Certified Medical Assistant, worked this drive and many more in the four years she has worked with the Red Cross. She took time to talk about what went into a large blood drive like the one Al hosted. "We had to sort and load supplies into trucks early that morning," Stubbs said. "Many of the supplies needed special care. Then the head nurse decided how many cots and history stations we needed to set up. After we got here we had set up everything." Stubbs had advice for the future donors. She said she had seen some severe reactions that could have been avoided. "It is important to eat a good dinner the night before," Stubbs said, "Get a full night's sleep, and in the morning eat a big breakfast." Many Student Council members dressed up as blood drops to escort students from class to the gym. The student council members worked all day to assist the nurses. Artie Sciortino '03 was among those suited up. "The outfit worked as a reminder, pass, and comic relief," Sciortino said. "The laughing was important. People tried not to be nervous, but it didn't always work." After witnessing the good and bad reactions of people giving blood, Sciortino still planned to give blood when he turned 17. Over all, the drive went well and Red Cross looked forward to returning. Over 95 people donated and there were not any extreme reactions to the loss of blood. 12,, million units o( whole blood ate donated each yeat, 32,000 units o( ted blood cells ate needed on evety given day, r1o o( healthy Ameticans eligible to give blood actually do, Must be at least 17 yeats old, and 110 pounds to donate blood, Can donate once evety eight weeks. m Page by Katie Comley Helpers used wet paper towels to cool foreheads. The heat of the gym nauseated Crystal McElroy '00. She was asked to stay seated in case she fainted. (photo by Erin Casper) Dave Bates '00 listened carefully as the nurse gave instructions. Students were asked to squeeze a ball and peddle their legs to keep blood circulation high. They were also told to drink fluids and eat healthy meals that day. (photo by Lucas Hale) After giving blood, students elevated their aITTls and put pressure on it to stop the bleeding. Brandie Taylo '01 did just that. Then she put a Band-Aid over a cotton ball to hold it in place. (photo by Erin Casper) Student Council members Ron Alexander '01 and Liz om1an '00 waited for donors to finish giving blood and walked them to the mats. As seen here, they comforted Aaron Heithoff '01 as he gave blood. (photo by Lucas Hale) Story by Amanda Schofield Being held at gunpo ~ Bill Latham '00 was pushed into the hall by force.(Photo by Chad Boyer) As a few student volunteers approached Al, they walked into what appeared to be a warzone. Oozens of law enforcement officers from units such as the Council Bluffs Police Oepartment, Pottawattamie County Sheriff Oepartment and Highway Patrol, along with firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians, gathered near the parking lot just as many students do every day after school. Some students found it uncomfortable to have these officers at the school. "I was so surprised to see the police when I got here," Bill Latham '00 said. "The cop wagon and cruisers made me feel like something was really going on." The students were in attendance to provide real reactions to the tactics of the officers. After being instructed on how they were supposed to act, the students got to enter the school. Captain Keith Mehlin of the C.8.'P.O. placed students in strategic spots to test the skills of the Emergency Services Team. As the EST entered the school, they first came upon students lying in the commons area, pretending to be wounded. "The EST seemed effective," Zach Somers '01 said. "I am confident that they could drag my body out of the school as good as anyone." Actions in the commons and large cafeteria were part of the first scenario, and when finished, EST gathered everyone for a group meeting. In the meeting, officers discussed what tactics were successful, where mistakes were Trying to escape the hostage taker, Cory Mass '00 dove out the attendance office window.

After the meeting, students wer"e taken to the administr"ation hall, wher"e about twelve students were put in the attendance office. 'Police talked to the hostage taker on a negotiation phone for' the r"elease of some hostages, while other's escaped on their' own. After' the scenar"io was done, everyone assembled in the cafeteria for a final meeting. "We learned a lot of things from the students helping," Mehlin said. "We encountered things that we hadn't anticipated and now can prepare fo(." Hopefully, because of the help from students, the EST will be better prepar"ed for any incidents that occur in Council Bluffs.

There was c:oMedy, roManc:e, and even a little action. These aspects c:oMbined to Make "The Music: Man" a very entertaining production. "It was a lot of hard work and dedication, and at tiMes it didn't feel like any of it was working out, but in the end everyone pulled together and Made it one of Al's best musicals," said Matthew Huckins, '01. "The Music: Man" starred Garret HigginbothaM '_00, as Harold Hill, a crooked traveling salesman, and Angela 'Peterson '00, as Marian 'Paroo, the Music teacher and librarian. Also in Minor leads were Oavid Tibbles '00, Jacob Sandau '00, Chris Martin '02, Matt Huckins '01, Jessica Chavera '02, Sarah 'Podendorf '02, 'P.J. Tekippe, and Kristi Solon '03. The play Mainly centered on Harold trying to win the heart of Marian. At first he wants her love so that he could gain her trust over his fraudulent business, but ends up really loving her. Near the end he's eventually forced to decide whether to lose his love and get away clean froM the law or face the consequences. In the end everything turns out well for the couple as the town c:oMes together to clear Hill's naMe. This year's musical was also special for two people, Jo Cupp and lee Spann. It was Cupp's first year as draMa director for an Al production. for Spann, "The Music: Man" would be his final role as Al Music: director. "It was great fun working with the cast, Mr. Spann , and crew, but it was a huge undertaking and I learned a lot," said Cupp. The production of "The Music: Man" proved that an early twentieth century story was able to entertain people on the brink of the new MillenniuM. m Page by Katie Comley The cast of "The Music Man" opens the production off with a bang, during the song "76 Trombones."

The blackened field house was illuminated with fluorescent colored - glow sticks which the Student Council provided. "We got the glow sticks because the walls were covered with black paper and silver stars," Eddie Kenkel '01 said. "We thought glow sticks would be cool for the students to wear." Jeff loop '01 said that his favorite part of ffomecoming was, "singing the Backstreet Boys on stage with all of my friends." The attendance at the dance was fabulous with around 800 students. "Homecoming was pretty fun," Joe Jayjack '02 said, "but, because of the huge turnout, you had to wait in line for half of the dance to get pictures." ffomecoming was more than just a dance, memories were made that night also. Angie Volovich '01 and some of her friends went to Red lobster for dinner, but they did not spend much time there. "As soon as we got our food we had to evacuate the restaurant because a fan belt overheated and started a fire," Volovich said. When the students walked through the black-lighted t unnel and into the neon stars hanging from the ceiling, t hey knew they had entered the Twilight Zone.

With more and more businesses aiming for the teen population, the Mall of the Bluffs Made a few changes in order to compete with malls in Omaha. After a lot of consideration, mall advisors devised a plan to bring new stores to the mall. The new stores were aiMed toward the younger generation. The widely popular Old Navy stood out among stores such as the Gap, American Eagle and Rue 21. "I was so e"cited when I heard Old Navy was coMing," said April Harvey '02. "It's better than any of the other stores we have." With people like Harvey on her mind, Mall advisor Kelly Konan tried to choose stores that appealed to teenagers the most. "Our goal was to attract more of the younger kids," said Konan. "They seem to be the majority of the shoppers." Although the new stores were not as attractive to older people, Konan thought it would iMprove the mall's business. Since the addition of the popular new stores, teenagers no longer had to travel far to buy the clothes they loved.

Unlike funkhauser, Ogle and 'Posekany shopped at places like Hot Topic and the Goodwill. "I wear what was comfortable," 'Posekany said. "Though my clothes fit my personality, many people found it intimidating." Ogle felt people made false judgements about him based on his clothing. "'People were always saying trash," Ogle said, "but not many people took time to get to know me." Though standing out in a crowd was for some people, others like funkhauser felt it was fun to fit in with the crowd" I liked to dress up," funkhauser said.

It was held on Saturday, October 30th in the small gym. "We held the dance so people would get involved with other kids from schools around Council Bluffs, in ways other than sports," Harmony fisher, junior class president, said. Some students went to the dance with their friends; others went to make new ones. With students attending from all of the schools, everyone had a chance to meet new people. "I went to the dance because I wanted to see some friends from different schools," Laura Schultz '03 said. "I just wanted to have fun." The atmosphere was casual with little decorations. The music played was for all kinds of people to enjoy. "The music was good," lnsa Wedemeyer '00 said. "The OJ did a really good job of picking new music to play." The security was at the doors when students bought their tickets. To get the tickets students had to have their student IO's. If they didn't have their school 10 then they weren't allowed into the dance. "There were no fights," Schultz said. "The police officers were just walking around the inside and outside of the school to check on things." Some people didn't come to the dance because they feared there would be conflicts that lead to fights. There was an attendance of 247 people. While some students mingled with other groups, some just hung out with their own friends. Fortunately, the dance was a peaceful event without any fights. Being able to see their friends, and helping to fill up time on their Friday night, students attended the fall dance.

(photo by Erin Casper) Story by Michon Runyon To some students there was more to the way they spent their free time than just hanging around with friends. Many students chose to use their extra time helping out. Community service reached out to the sick, the elderly, the young, and impressionable. It brightened someone's day and helped groups of people live a little easier. "I volunteered at the YMCA as a youth volleyball coach, I liked helping kids learn the game," Angie Plutschak '01 said, "It also gave me experience working with kids for my future career in either child psychology or elementary school teaching." Another Al student. Melissa Holder 'OJ, helped at a YMCA summer camp. Holder had been attending the camp for the last eight years and made lifelong friends. "Making friends and gaining leadership skills was the best part of volunteering," Melissa Holder 'OJ, said, "Camp was where you made the best friends because there wasn't as much superficial h ype. " Ouring the summer, Holder and other teenagers from the Nebraska area helped out in the kitchen, pools, barn, and at different activities around camp. "last summer I was asked to help three kids with Oown's Syndrome," Holder said, "I helped them around the camp and just became their friend. It was great because not everyone receives special assignments. I thought of it as a privilege." One of the most common forms of community service was hospital volunteering. Teen Volunteers at Jennie Edmunson did a variety of different duties that helped out the hospital staff as well as the patients. The teens gave the patients fresh water, handed out meals, ran errands, and worked at the front desk. They did activities t oo, such as partaking in annual parties, hayrack rides, and t rips t o the movies. "Working with the other volunteers was the best because you got t he chance t o meet and become friends with a lot of different people," Maggie Hansen '00 said, "people you would never otherwise meet if you didn't volunteer." Hansen had been Teen Volunteering since eighth grade, nearly four years ago. She had put in over seven hundred hours helping at the hospital. "I like knowing t hat if my family is ever in the hospital, that someone is making sure they are being t aken care of and kept happy," Hansen said, "It makes you feel better about the whole hospital system." Students who volunteered weren't any different than any other students. They all had to endure strenuous classes, long hours of homework, an4 part t ime jobs. The difference was t hey went an ext ra step, t only for themselves, but to help others too. 0 Page by Katie Co mley With a helping smile, Maggie Hansen '00 a teen volunteer at Jennie Edmundson Hospital scooped ice into a patients water pitcher.(Photo by Brandi Ellis) Hammering away, Adam Mohr '01 and Megan Kennedy '00 helped build a house for less fortunate people in Mexico over the summer.(Photo submitted by Adam Mohr) Putting a face to the cause, Bridget McElderry '00 holds the baby who will live in the house she helped build in Mexico.(Photo submitted by Adam Mohr) With a helping hand, Angie Plutschak '01 a youth volleyball coach, helped Lynsi Ellis learn how to properly serve a volleyball at the YMCA.(Photo by Brandi Ellis) At a summer camp in Lincoln, Nebraska, Melissa Holder '01 laughed along with another counselor as they joked with spoons and bonded like best friends.(Photo submitted by Melissa Holder) for sor11e Al students, friday nights were spent with fellow bandr11ates, r11aking their own special brand of r11usic. Others went to concerts to listen to local bands belt out their tunes. Sor11e bands were forr11ed . by a cor11r11on interest. The Solar flares {Travis Wisotzkey '01, Oustin Loos '03, Mike Edrington '00, Harlan Muir '03, Stewart '03 and Clark '01 Rutledge, and Thane Schuning '01) were all Oragonball Z {a cartoon) fans. "Our nar11e car11e fror11 Oragonball Z," said Schuning, "which r11ost of us watch. Most of our songs are based on true experiences. We just ir11provised until the songs sounded right." While the Solar flares were still novices in the band business, sor11e were r11ore experienced. ler11on Whip (Melissa Hodapp '02, laura AndrieGrondek '02, and Ariana Gur11 '02) had been together since eighth grade. "We recorded all of our jar11 sessions for posterity," said Hodapp. "We only sold our shirts overseas, and we' re cutting our 7 2"d albur11. Well, really, we can only play 'Wonderwall' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's." Even more polished than lemon Whip was Jimmy Skaffa, an Omaha ska/punk band who had been playing around the Or11aha area for six years. Jir11r11y Skaffa was Jessica Sullivan's '01 favorite local band. "They put on a good, energetic show, and I liked all their songs and lyrics," said Sullivan.

However, the restraunt's walks were shoveled to perfection and they had a great dinner. The food was satisfying and the spririts were high.

These select few worked to raise school spirit plan activities, help the needy, improve the public's opinion of AL, and contribute to the community. In order to accomplish all their goals, the Student Council had to make some changes. First they made a change in advisers. The previous advisor left AL so the administration chose Mr. Kenoyer for the job. Third year Student Council member Harmony Fisher '01 believed this change really affected the year's outcome. "Having a new advisor made it harder and a little chaotic, but we'll be prepared for next year," Fisher said. "Now we know how to do everything." Another change that effected the way student council operated was the increase in meetings. The officers used to meet more than the whole council, but now everyone is expected to attend every meeting. "There were meetings every week instead of once a month and everyone went" Ryan Crane '02 said. "That kept the committees in a tighter rein." StuCo changed the dates of annual events, sponsored the Battle of the Bands, and refocused on the community. "Things changed, new members brought new ideas," Suzanne Nikkel '02 said. "We went to a different leadership conference and exchanged ideas with other schools." Members contributed to the community in many major ways. They donated $500 to the new weight room, $1 0 ,000 to the new gym floor, bought holiday gifts for the needy, hosted a food drive, organized two blood drives, and sat up a memorial in the courtyard for Brandi Lippert, a student who passed away last year. The last and most noticed change was the shift in leadership. In the past the most responsibility for organization was on the adviser and officers. The council lost officers and changed advisers, which called for members to step forward "Mr. Kenoyer stood back more and let us do things on our own," Joe McGregor '01 said. "That made it more of a group leadership. When we had a president we relied more on her as an individual than on the whole group." Due to all the changes, StuCo caught the attention of the community and the student body. One of the several Homecoming Olympic games was shaving a balloon.

Not only did it look gcxxl on college applications, but it also allowed them the opportunity to be actively involved in the community. NHS members helped organize activities both inside and outside of school. Each year, they adopted a family during the Christmas season and bought them clothes, toys, and other needed items. They helped organize a school wide food drive. NHS students were also in charge of the Red Ribbon week activities such as the student versus the teachers volleyball game and the Red Ribbon week run to Kirn.

You have made it through what you may have sometimes thought was impossible. Remember the first day assembly? Seniors dominated that. Freshman, I can only hope you do better in the years to come. It was you, it is UJ. This year is the story of UJ. The 2001 year began with Crimson and Blue staff members each collecting $75.00 or more from businesses and pillars of the community to create this book for you. Yeah, that was UJ. We made it through everything this year together. It was only a couple months into the school year when everyone filed out of the school and onto the football field due to a bomb threat. Obviously, the school was not blown up but students handled the situation appropriately. Conversely, AL students accomplished having more fun in one school day then any other school. Remember Homecoming week, along with the Olympics? When we actually got to miss 3 rd and 4th block? The whipped cream swimming pool? What a great way to start out the year. Page by Sarah Lopez 3 Every Friday night was spent cheering on our football team or driving endless hours back and forth from Sioux City and Des Moines. Yep, that's right. It was IA$. It was the year we joined a new conference. The Missouri River Conference. Fans traveled far and wide to watch AL athletes excel and to show school spirit. Yeah, that was IA$. That was the year 2001. At the last home football game we played city rival Thomas Jefferson. However, it was IA$ who achieved victory. We surpassed everyone's expectations. AL beat TeeJay that last game of the season, with a final score of 42-6. It was IA$ that came out on top. Senior classmates grew closer than ever to make memories and cherish friendships. Every weekend night spent together was one to be remembered. Soon seniors were visiting colleges all over the country. Students moved out of their homes and · became themselves. Individuality stepped out in everyone. It is Vi.$/ It was Vis in the past; it wi ll be Vi.$ in the future. 2001 is the SttJJ''f c6 lA.s!

The gym was decked out in Hawaiian flowers and even a volcano. "The decorations were nice." Bridgett Smith '04 said. "It really made it feel more Hawaiian." The gym was jam packed with students who donned Hawaiian leis all in the spirit of the dance. To improve the dance the student council selected a DJ from the popular radio station Sweet 98. "I thought the DJ was much better this year," Justin Lidgett '01 said. "People seemed to get more into it". Participation was at its best with a wide population of students taking part in the festivities . Students came to school throughout the week fully clad in their best, to go with the dress up days. The dress up days included: Pajama Day, Uniform Day, Nerd Day, Disco Day and then the traditional Spirit Day. "My most memorable part of homecoming was dressing up for Disco Day," Eddie Kenkle said. "Because it made me feel like John Travolta." Many students felt that Spirit Day held a special meaning To get ready for the big game, Steve Forrester '01 , Andrew Mruz '01 , Jake Somers '01 , and Ryan Grudle '01 showed their school spirit by dressing in school colors.

"It got us pumped and gave us our first win." Spirit Day must have worked it's magic, the Lynx went on to win the game against Sioux City West 64-25. "It was the best Homecoming game AL has ever had," said T.J. Mackland '02. AL also started a new tradition, the Coronation of the Homecoming King and Queen was held on th e Thursday before the game. Coronation festivities included performances by the cheerleaders and the pommers and a lip-syncing contest between classes in which the freshman team took first. "I thought Coronation was a good idea and it was really fun ," said Tara Shannon '03, "I think the Student Council did a good job of organizing it, it was a fun experience for everyone." Homecoming was a very memorable experience for everyone , however not all memories were good. It was for some a bit more than others due to the danger of driving on the way to the dance. "I'll never forget Homecoming because I almost died," said Mackland, "I rolled my brother's car 3 to 5 times on a gravel road on the way to pick up my date." There was plenty of school spirit displayed during Homecoming Week. Even students who didn't normally participate got caught up in the Spirit of the Lynx Homecoming. There were over 900 students who attended the dance. Homecoming is one of the biggest events of the year and one of the most memorable.

Over the two years Gysin's collection has grown tremendously in magnitude and is weight.

Photo by Harlan Muir Peoples' preferences and other aspects of their personalities were often I expressed by various collections. Recent trends in collections have been ~ a favorite past time for students and teachers. For instance, beanie babies, frogs, baseball cards, and action figures have all been popular trends that occurred in the 90's. Virginia Hansen '02 made these trends apart of her life. "Most of my frogs were gifts," Hansen said. "I've really only bought about one fourth of my frogs out of all of them. There is no set age for when a person can start a collection. While Hansen started her collection in elementary school Jeff Loop, '01 has been collecting baseball cards since he was four. Loop stored all of his baseball cards in boxes around his room and in his closet. "My dad came home with a couple of packs one day," Loop said. "My love for baseball really got me hooked on them."By the time Loop was well into his collection of baseball cards, Trisha Gysin, '03 key chain collection was just beginning. She started to collect her key chains when she saw her friend's collection at about age 13. "One thing that is cool about my collection is that all my key chains are hook together," Gysin said. "It really makes my collection stand out from my friend's." Students aren't the only people that collect things. Some teachers have collections also. Their interests seem to deal more with the past trends. Justin Heckman, the chemistry teacher, collected bicentennial quarters and old records. "I was intrigued with the DJ culture. That's what got me started on the records," Heckman said. "I wanted to do what the DJ's could do with the turn tables."Quarters are very popular among teachers. Erin Fryman, the biology/zoology teacher, collects the state quarters as they come out each year. "I want one of the maps that you can put they quarters right on the state," Fryman said. "Right now they just all look so cheesy and stupid." Not all collections keep going for a person's whole life. AJ Chambers, '03 used to collect action figures. Chambers started when he was ten because he liked the comic book characters. He stopped collecting a couple of years later but still has around 150 of them. "I have one doll still in the box up on the shelf," Chambers said. It's the Poison Ivy doll from Batman." Each collection differs with the person. Sometimes a collection started with a trend, other times something historic happened. Some started at a young age and end quickly. Other collections grow with each day. One thing's for sure; every collection shows a certain time in a person's life worth remembering. ' ~ Surrounded by her stuffed frogs, Virginia Hansen '02 held her blue frog in front of her.

Though he did not win the election he did influence many students to vote. Photo by Harlan Muir. Wednesday, November 14, 2000, one week after the Presidential Election and it was still to close to call. Vice President of the United States, Al Gore and Texas Governor, George W. Bush's quest for the White House came down to the state of Florida and their 25 electoral votes. Throughout the night the state's votes were projected to go to each of the candidates. Waking up the next morning many students found the election to still be to close to give to either of the candidates. Finally, on December 13th, Gore backed out of the race. Over a month after the election, Bush was nominated as the 43'd President of the United States. "I think that it was good that both candidates tried everything to win the election," said Government Teacher Bryan Pregon. "I would have been disappointed if either side would have given up. They both scrapped it out ti ll the end." Students and teachers at AL supported both the large party candidates and even a few third party candidates. "I supported Vice President Gore because I didn't believe in Bush's gun policies and his stance on school vouchers," said Katie Williams '01 . "I also supported Gore because he's was an environmentalist." Not all students supported Gore. ''The candidate that I supported was Governor Bush," said Clark D. Rutledge '01. "He was a nice, collective guy with a head on his shoulders and his feet on the ground." Third party candidates even attracted interest from some students. Preparing for the oncoming voters, volunteers set up mobile voting booths to reassure privacy to each voter. Photo by Harlan Muir. Voter turnout was at an astounding high. Many voters had to wait in line for long periods of time. Photo by Harlan. "I supported Harry Browne," said Lee Scarbourogh '02. "He represented the Libertarian Party and they believed in limiting the government to their constitutional bounds." The importance of a single vote was magnified due to the slight margin of victory in Florida and many other states. Even Iowa was only decided by 4, 144 votes in the favor of the Vice President. "Students need to realize they can make a difference," Eric Ruesch '02 said. "A wasted vote is the same as a vote for a candidate they didn't want in office." Another student reiterated his point. "I thought a lot of teenagers liked to complain about politicians and didn't vote," Abby Pettengill '01 said. "You shouldn't complain if you didn't vote." The election even affected one of the school's teachers. Senior English Teacher Rod Cameron ran for the 82"d District of the Iowa House of Representatives. He ran as a Democrat against the incumbent Republican Donna Barry. Cameron believed that teens were essential to his campaign. "They were important because eventually they would be the people who would be running this country and it was better for them to learn it then rather than later in life," Cameron said. He also commented on teen voting. "Every time you vote it is easier to do and if you don't vote it's vice versa," Cameron said. "It became a habit either way." The election of 2000 was a very unusual turn of events that tested the democratic ground our country was built on . Students found that their vote did matter and those who did not vote found themselves dwelling on what might have been.

The dance was postponed because of bad weather in mid-December. Advisors thought the cancellation would be best for both the students safety and the chaperones safety. Having the date changed was not all bad, it gave some students time to find a date. "THe change didn't bother me," Charlie Petersen '02 said. "I was able to go to the new dance because I had time to find a date and make reservations." Aftbr having so many changes to make, advisors thought that students might be anxious or disruptive at the dance. "From having the kids change their plans and adjust their schedules," Erin Fryman said. "I thought the students behaved pretty responsibly. We didn't really have any major problems." Changing the date left one big problem for DECA to overcome. The DJ did not show up to play music. "There was a miscommunication between the DJ and his boss," Rebekah Kehm '01 said. "The DJ never got the time to be at the school." To compensate for the lost music DECA members found students who would let them borrow their CD's for dance music. Many students thought that the music still sounded good. "After finding out the DJ didn't show up, I thought the music was really good ,"Andrea Yoder '01 said. "The students did a good job with what they had." Students had many plans they had to change and switch around in order to go to the dance. Reservations were cancelled, hair appointments were rescheduled, and some people found new dates. "My date switched from one dance to another," Steve Forrester '01 said. "So I was glad I had time to find a different one." Many hours of work and many class periods were spent preparing for the dance. With many last minute obstacles overcame, DECA was still able to raise about $3000 for their organization. Snow glazing the ground, Like a million diamonds in the sun.

Wasn't it weird how the owners had a spider, or a pig, or a goose for a pet? Sitting on its web, this tarantula waited hungrily for its meaJ Well, as weird as it may have been, some students found of crickets. Photo by Harlan Muir it interesting to have that one pet that no one else had. Whether it was a tarantula, an iguana, a leopard gecko, a Chinese fighting fish, or a bearded dragon lizard, weird pets were appearing in some students' homes. Imagine this. One day you're in the kitchen buttering your toast. You look in the reflection of the toaster, thinking you saw a mouse scurry across the floor. You turn around to get a better look, and find that it wasn't exactly a mouse you saw. It was your brother's pet tarantula. Would you really want one of those in your home? Maybe not, but some would. "I received Tyson, my tarantula, as a gift on Valentine's Day," Justin Mcintyre, '01 said. "He's fun. Sometimes I let him out of his cage and let him run around. "It's not that creepy once you get used to it. But sure enough, some students would still beg to differ. Along with Mcintyre's pet spider comes a couple of interesting lizards that some claimed as their pets. "Freckles, my leopard gecko, is just so cute!" Melissa Mcsorley, '02 said. "I saw him at the store and I had to have him." Mcsorley thinks that having an interesting pet is better than having just a dog or a cat. "I do have a dog, Tameka, but there's something that's just so neat about having that one weird pet." With the same idea in mind, Nate Kerkman '02 purchased an iguana seven months ago. "Pythons are my specialty," The man clad in leather said, And I wholeheartedly took his word for it. I bought a six-footer from that man, Took him home and let him curl up in my bed. With her gecko on her arm, Melissa Mcsorley '02 watched as it crawled along. File Photo After removing it from its shelf, Rebecca Batt '02 displayed her Chinese fighting fish. Photo by Harlan Muir On the couch with his iguana , Nathan Kerkman '02 enjoyed showing off his cool pet. File Photo "He's cool," Kerkman said. "The good thing is that he wouldn't harm anything." Though he wouldn't harm anything, there's still that question of why he would own one. "There's not much to it," Kerkman said. "It's just something different." As Kerkman and Mcsorley dote over their pets, Tabbitha Shaw '02 and twin brother, Austin Shaw '02, continue to enjoy owning their bearded dragon lizard, Bubba. "It's cool because he's small enough to fit into your pocket," Shaw said. "The lady that used to live with us was so scared of him. She wouldn't go within five feet of it." With all the talk of lizards being the most common weird pet, one student had a not so positive comment about owning a lizard. "Lizards are creepy," Becca Batt, '02 said. "I prefer the little ones that stay in the little bowls, with their cute little faces." Batt's Chinese fighting fish has a mind of its own. It fights itself when a mirror is held in front of it. "It's kind of scary sometimes," Batt said. "But still, he's fun to have." Whether owning a spider, a lizard, or a fish to have as a pet, remember, it's up to the owner on if it's weird or not. It's all a matter of opinion.

In the past years, students were allowed to choose team names, but this year Mrs. Shellberg decided to assign numbers to eliminate offensive names. "We were a little mad (about not getting to have a team name)," Ryan Norman '01 said, "But we understood Mrs. Shellberg's concerns:' Students had a variety of reasons to be involved in intramurals. Some just wanted the chance to play a sport that they love and couldn't because of other conflicts. "I wanted to be in intramurals because I wanted to play basketball,"Joe Disalvo '03 said, "And I couldn't swim and play basketball at the same time." Other students decided to play because they wanted to hangout with their friends. "My friends asked me to play on their team," Jimmy Lewis '02 said, "And I like to play basketball." The games started every morning at 7:1 5 and the season lasted for three weeks. At the end of the season, there was a single elimination tournament. There were a series of games and the last team left was Team 8. The members of the championship team were: Andrew Mruz '01, Jake Somers '01 , Chad Gibler '01 , Ryan Norman '01 , Paul Knott '01 , Nick Clark '01 , Mike Osler '01 , and Ryan Grudle '01.

Story by Dana Utman 2 7 28 g(e/i • ion The halls of AL are filled with many different students and many beliefs after the separation of church and state. Many students believe, however, their religion helps them through their days here at AL. Eddie Kenkel '01 practices Judaism. The Jewish religion is one of the world's oldest faiths. "We believe that Jesus was a prophet." Kenkel said. "We don't have a savior. Everyone was created in the image of God:' The belief in his religion makes Kenkel feel like he stands out from others students. "My religion makes me stand apart from others." Kenkel said. " There aren't many Jewish kids in the school." The Mormon religion is more common among AL students. Every morning Mormon students attend Seminary. Seminary is like a Sunday school class on weekday mornings. "Seminary is like morning church." Melissa Detton '02 said. "It gets my day started off a lot better." As well as helping students through the day, religion also influences the choices and decisions they make. "My religion influences the choices I make, and keeps me from doing things that other kids do." Kaylee Fisher '03 said. "It helps me make decisions because my mind is already made up." One of the most popular world religions is Christianity. "We ask Jesus into our hearts and ask him for forgiveness." Elisha Turek '03 said. "When we do this and believe in him, we will be saved." Outside of school students of all religions are involved with missions for their churches. This can mean ministering to people here in town or traveling across the world. "We serve food at the homeless shelter;' Kenkel said. "My church does things like that a lot." Other students stay in town and minister to people by spreading their beliefs in the community. "In our church guys go as missionaries at nineteen years old and go on a two year mission. The girls wait until they are twenty one and go for only eighteen months." Detton said. "They go door to door and tell people about our church." While some students stay in the country others venture to other countries. "I've been on a lot of mission trips." Turek said. "I've been to France,Germany, Israel, Iceland, Denmark, and Mexico. It was really exciting." Whether they stay in the states or go to a new country these students, like many others are spreading their faith. larnahmay 11lnitrh fllllrt~nhist Ol~urr4 ®rgnntzeh 1850 1Jluilt 1892 The different religious beliefs of students help to make AL a •iiiiiliiiiiiiiiiOiiiiiiiiiill••••u more diverse place.

"I think it is more interesting," Carson Gross said, '02(Linus), commenting on double casting. " Your get less practice and you are more independent:' The play was rescheduled about three times, due to other problems. Therefore having both casts got about three months of practice. In addition, the tech crew's job was less difficult than usual for this production. The play called for a smaller crew and less time commitment, however, hard work was always at its highest. "We didn't have much to do," Jason Kusler,'01 said. " Our duties were lights and often had to move things on and off stage." With Mr. Finch gone, Mr. Leech came in and directed the play. Mr. Leech filled the place of the director. He teaches at an elementary school in Ralston and has over 20 years of experience. He was well liked and accepted by the students. "Everyone got along with him," Kusler said. " .. . Mr. Leech did a good job." To portray an elementary school ground atmosphere, the stage took on a different look. The stage was painted green and many primary colors were used. The shapes were also simple, such as rectangles and squares. It had no plot, such as a beginning or end. Actors agreed that it became a little confusing. ''The play is like reading a comic book," Patrick McGuire '02 said(Schroeder), " Because it is many short skits, there isn't an overall plot."

Photo by Harlan Muir. Adjusting to high school may be a hard thing to do, but wouldn't it be interesting if a senior got to go back and be a freshman for a day? During first semester, Emily Mayberry '01 and Scott Forrester '04 had the chance to switch classes and see what it would be like to be a part of the other's class for a day. "When I was asked to do this I knew it would be easy," Mayberry said. "I had already taken the same classes [Forrester] is taking now." Although she knew it would be easy, Forrester still had worries about how difficult these classes might actually be. "I thought it would be really fun and exciting but I knew it would be hard," Forrester said. "I also felt weird about being in class with mostly seniors." Going from trigonometry to pre-algebra was easy for Mayberry, but going from pre-algebra to trig was not exactly a piece of cake. "I had to do some problems in trig," Forrester said. "Trig class was still fun because my brother was in the class with me." Not only did Forrester have to learn new math techniques; he also had to learn a new language. Mayberry's French class hasn't been the easiest class for her, so just imagine how Forrester felt when he was taught a new language in just one day. "I was so glad to be getting out of that class," Mayberry said. "Still, I wasn't exactly thrilled about going to geology for an hour and a half. Just thinking of how geology was my freshman year made me dread going back even for just one period." Surrounded by seniors, Forrester was not treated any different than Mayberry would normally have been . Forrester had no difficulties, but Mayberry's experience was opposite of those. "The teachers had to keep telling the freshman to stop talking and that they were in high school now," Mayberry said. "They kept talking to them about being responsible. One time the teacher apologized to me for having to be a part of all the students always talking." The teachers might have teased Mayberry, but Forrester was the one that students couldn't get enough of. "I had fun ," Forrester said. "If I could do it again I would except people kept asking me where my cheerleading outfit was!" After switching for a day, both Mayberry and Forrester had a little different outlook on eachother's grade. They both realized it's not always fun and games in the life of another. I love those locked rooms Whose key I am still searching for. I hate that girl who spent all her time Searching for a tarnished pick That wouldn't budge the lock.

"Many of the team's personal goals were to beat inner city rivals," Mike Heatherly '01 said, "we beatT J." Some, however, thought that they could have done better. The season did not live up to the potential they had hoped for. "We didn't do as well as we wanted to," Brandon Coker '01 said, "we fell short of our expectations:' Many of the players also had their own individual goals that they had set for the season. This helped them to keep motivated to do well through a difficult season. "I proved to myself that I can play defense well," Bryan McClure '02 said. Even though it wasn't a winning season many of the players still had fun and felt that the season was a good learning experience. The team faced many obstacles. ''Team unity between players and coaches wasn't good,"Brian Wenninghoff '01 said, "throughout most of the season players and coaches didn't get along." The team however did their best to surpass difficult hurdles. Team members stepped up as leaders to further hold together the team unity. "Nick Jones '00 was a good leader," Dan Wolfe '02 said. "I accepted the team leader role;' Jones said, "we needed someone to step up and lead the team at times when we were in a slump or having problems within the team." Varsity wasn't the only team that needed a leader in times of hardship. All teams needed a helping motivator. "Jay Demory was a good leader on JV," McClure said. This season was also one to remember to a few of the players. Some remembered playing at Rosenblatt Stadium and others had more specific games in which they took pride. "My favorite game was the Des Moines Lincoln game because they were ranked in the top 1 O in the state," Coker said, "they have beat us for six consecutive seasons. It was my favorite game because we ended up ten running them." The team had a very busy practice schedule. They practiced everyday after school for two to two and a half-hours, and Saturdays from nine to eleven in the morning. When summer started they practiced almost everyday there wasn't a game. The Lynx put in a lot of hard work and effort into a season that will be remembered as one never to forget. YOU'RE OUT!!!

Not Pictured: Ben Brockway, Steve Mattox Story by Miranda Davidson 3 7 ~o(tfra[[ The Lady Lynx softball team overcame many obstacles over the summer season. Starting out the season with a new coach made it hard for the players to understand what he wanted and expected. "We had our ups and downs,overall I thought it was a rebuilding year," New Head Coach Scott Heese said, "also I thought the girls had a great attitude and their work ethic was very strong." Heese had a different outlook on practicing and team comradely. "We learned many new strategies," Kim Witt '01 said. He also put a large impact on the season and all of the outcomes. The varsity girls finished 9 wins and 21 losses. This wasn't their best season but they did learn a lot. "I felt that we worked well as a team," Marcia Freeman '01 said. Even though they had fewer victories in the win column the positive energy never left the field. "I like to help my fellow teammates, Pam Volz '03 said, "the more cheer makes better play." Volz won the spirit award, other awards were given out during the course of the season. MVP was given to Becky Rossbund. All-City players were Andrea Yoder, '01, Carrie VanVoltenberg, '00, and Kellie Price, '03. Defensive player of the year was given to Michelle Glanz. Best offensive player was Kellie Price, Most Improved Player was Patsy Weddle. Junior Varsity finished out the season with five wins. "We beat LC, because we lost to them first, and then we came back and beat them ," Freeman said. Varsity suffered the same problem. At times the motivation wasn't as high as it was toward the end of the season. "We lost important players from last season and struggled a little," Sara Kernes '02 said. They quickly learned to work together and were the best they could be. Even though this wasn't their best season they had a lot of fun memories. "The Urbandale tournament in Des Moines was my favorite memory," Addie Plummer '02 said, " We stayed the night and really got to know each other better." Accomplishments were often met, such as beating T J. They had a very tight game and one run made the difference in a hard fought 8-7 victory. Many individuals stood out, but in the end everyone came together and played as a team which led to victories. 38 WHAT A STRECH!!!

With hard work, dedication, team unity, and help from Coach Walt Olsen, the AL football team showed what they learned on and off the field. "I've pretty much learned that hard work pays off in the long run," Rickie Kellar '02 said. What the players learned played a major role in their performances all season. Whether they learned things individually or as a team, what they learned was important. The night of Oct. 27 was yet another important experience the players went through by fighting T J long and hard for a win of 42-6. "It felt great to go out with a win my senior year," Ronnie Alexander '01 said, "We didn't really do anything different for this game. We were just more prepared and we all knew we had to win this one." The football team made a big effort to try and stick together. Through thick and thin, the players worked hard, and were dedicated to win. The team became close friends and made a pact to stay that way. "We got together every Monday night and watched films at someone's house," Logan Strohbehn '01 said. "We'd cook out and talk about what we needed to do for the next game:' Becoming close was an important factor of making a good team, but a good coach is probably at the top. "Coach is a really cool guy. He's really smart and very motivational." Andy Hasbrouck '01 said. "He's probably the best coach around." Memorable times came from hard work and dedication . "Probably my most favorite memory was when Bill Over did a dance right after he nailed some guy to the ground," Nick Clark '01 said, "That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life!" JV also had some memorable moments. "Beating T J was probably one of our most memorable moments of the season." Tony Wright '03 said. "We were all really pumped for that game, basically just because it was T J. We had a pretty successful season. If we would have played and beat LC we would have been city champions." Not only did the Varsity and JV boys show their skills, the freshman boys played a fairly hard-working season as well. Though they did not win many games, they played well and fought hard. "We had a tough season, but it was fun." Bruce Landstrom '04 said. ''The coaches made q.o a [[ it fun, they were strict, but really funny." The Lynx football players showed hard work as well as determintaion. They worked together as a team and fought their way to victory. _f!,c,9c,nJj, FOOTBALL 2-7 Ottumwa DM Roosevelt WDM Valley Ankeny Sioux City North Sioux City West Sioux City Heelan Sioux City East TJ 0-42, L 14-21, L 7-48, L 7-47, L 7-47, L 64-25, w 13-31, L 0-24, L 42-6, w ON THE RUN!!

Set! Spike! This year the AL volleyball girls had a victorious season. Led by only four seniors and making it all the way to sub-state, AL took the court every game and played their best. With a good coach to push them the season turned out to be a memorable one. "The whole season was a memory in itself," Bethany Spilde '02 said. "Everything from the team huddles, the games, to even the silliness outside of the games were fun." Not the entire volleyball season was devoted to having fun. A lot of hard work came from the team. Having practices everyday after school for two hours took time and commitment, not just from the players but from the coaches too. "The coaches pushed us and kept us in order," Elisha Turek '03 said. 'They help direct me with my blocking and hitting." After beating Lewis Central and Sioux City North in districts the Lynx were full of anticipation of going to state. The Lynx were matched up against Heelan for their sud-state match. The Lynx played against Heelan, but were not prepared for such an emotional game. "We played well to get to sub-state," Andrea Yoder '01 said. "But during the actual game our nerves took over and we weren't ready for that." Many things were learned during the season as sacrifices were made and new challenges arose. Players had to learn how to juggle their schedules and homework around their volleyball games and practices. "I had to learn to make sacrifices for volleyball ," Jessica Regan '04 said. "It was the sport I went out for and I just had to be there." All through the season the Lynx showed us their guts and grace through their hard work. Supporting each other on and off the court, the Lynx were united by dedication and strong friendships making the 2000 volleyball season a successful and memorable one. "I was disappointed when we lost to Heelan because I thought we had a good chance of winning, but overall we had a good season," said Sara Kerns'02. Photo by Cindy Christensen SPIKE!!

Photo by Erin Casper Story by Stephanie Palser q.5 A great memory of an undefeated season is what the 2001 varsity boys basketball players will hold forever. With a team of all senior players, the Lynx showed teamwork , friendship, dedication, and meant business while still managing to have fun throughout the entire season. With dedication and hard work, any team can get anywhere. Fortunately, the Lynx have been able to show their hard work and dedication through the 2001 season. "We know that we have a lot of fun ," Tony Neumann '01 said. "But everyone knows that when we step on the court, it's business." By stepping up and taking charge, they were able to defeat rival team Thomas Jefferson and the number one team in Nebraska, Lincoln Southeast. "The thing that has kept us together so far is sacrifice now, pleasure later," Justus Westphal '01 said. "Everyone on the team knows that we need to sacrifice to get to the top." Team unity is also another factor that must play a role in order to have good teamwork. The varsity boys aren't just teammates. They hold special friendships that will last forever. "Our team unity is very strong," John Turek '01 said. "We are really close because we've all played together for so long. We get along very well." Along with teamwork and sacrifice, the boys play in summer leagues, and feel that's what helps them out a great deal to get them where they are. "Summer leagues helped us out a lot," Eddie Kenkel '01 said. "They help us to be better players because we may or may not see who we're playing later in the season ." Much like the Varsity and JV teams, the sophomore boys basketball team also had a promising season. Showing hard work in each game, the sophomore boys ended with a 1 0- 5 record. "We work great as a team," Seth Steensen '03 said. "There were a couple of games we were down, but we came right back up." With talent and strength, the sophomore boys worked hard for a promising season. The JV team is also working hard this season. Although their team unity wasn't as strong as the Varsity squad, they still managed to get through the season with skill and dedication. "We're just starting to get our team together," Bryan McClure '02 said. "We need to learn to be a better team." Early practices aren't always the easiest to want to attend, but the JV boys sti ll show up a and play hard. "It's hard getting up that early," Joel Yoder '03 said. "We usually start by getting waken up and then we go from there." The freshman showed talent and hard work, as well as team unity. "Everyone's talented and works real hard," Coach Rob Kinney said. "The season's going good. They're doing a great job." The freshman boys earned 1 st place ratings at tournaments including the Regular season conference championships. The Varsity boys basketball team of 17 seniors showed hard work, dedication, teamwork, and meant business while still managing to have fun, throughout 2001. SWEET TOUCH!!!

Story by Nicole Jensen and Katie Comley 1/.7 For all three teams, the season started out rough but got better each game. Dedication and loyalty were demonstrated throughout the season. During the games, it was very important to concentrate, so mistakes would not be made. " I was completely focused when we had a game," Addie Plummer '02 said. "If I hadn't been, then I would make mental errors that could effect my playing." The girl's Varsity basketball team did not consist of just juniors and seniors, but also of sophomores. Elisha Turek '03 was one of those sophomores, " Before my sophomore friends were moved up to Varsity, I felt a little out of place," Turek said. "But eventually, I got used to it." For many of the girls being on JV and Varsity was a privilege, however, there are some disadvantages in participating on both teams. 11 I really liked playing JV and Varsity, but it was hard because I practice with Varsity." Amanda Heithoff '03 said. ''Then when it came to games I really didn't know how we all work as a team." The younger players found it intimidating being on Varsity because of the older girl's experience. "JV gave me more playing time and more experience for Varsity," Shannon Glanz '03 said. " I felt there is more competition on Varsity because they are more experienced players." As for many other sports teams, the younger players look up to the older players. " We [seniors] tried to set a good example for the younger players." Amanda Reddish '01 said. 11 We tried to show them that you have to work hard in order to achieve your goals." Others looked up to their own family members who are on the team. " I looked up to my sister, Michelle, because she was a really good athlete." Glanz said. "When I was younger I felt more pressure to be just as good as her, but now I feel less pressure. The freshman girls had impreesive, yet less publicized season. They won both the Suburban Conference Regular Season and Tournament Titles. Jessica Regan '04 and Sam mi Fetch 04' were considered the team's leaders. " I told the girls not to put their heads down when something bad happens." Fetch said. "And that they just needed to keep playing their hardest." Fetch said. Throughout the season the girls faced adversity, but rose above it to accomplish team goals and achieve an impressive record. q.s A PERFECT SHOT!!!

Story by Kristin Grandick 11-9 With experienced upper classmen the AL wrestling team had a productive season. Many goals were set at the beginning of the season that helped all season long. Some of the team's goals included everyone making weight for every meet and attending practices. For competitions, the team wanted to place in the top three, win 75% of all dual-matches, and for everyone to finish the year winning at least half of their matches. "We had some trouble this season with people coming to practice every night;' Adam Mohr '01 said. ''The people who went to practice, worked hard, and made weight did well this season." Along with the team's goals, many individuals had goals for themselves. "My goal was to improve on my strength, agility, and speed," Artie Sciortino '03 said. "I wanted to stay healthy and make weight for each match." Besides goals of improving physically, many of the wrestlers had high hopes of going to state. "I wanted to qualify and place in the state tournament;' Andre VanderVelde '02 said. "And improve on my strength." People may assume that the seniors would like to pick on the underclassmen on the team, but this was not true. The seniors helped the younger wrestlers to the best of their abilities. Seniors showed different techniques and worked on them with the underclassmen. ''The seniors answered any questions about wrestling that the team needed answered ," Eric Hallagan '04 said. "They would do anything to benefit the team:' Wrestlers have always had the difficult task of staying in their weight class. For some wrestlers it was hard to keep the weight off. "Some of the guys had trouble making weight;' Mike Wagner '01 said. "I have gone a couple of days without eating to make weight." To stay in shape, the wrestlers ran and lifted weights in the morning at seven on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Practices were held after school from three until five. The training and team experience helped propel one Lynx to the state tournament. The coaches also taught and entertained the wrestlers. "I liked the smart-allelic comments by Coach Allen," Andy Hasbrouck '01 said. "Allen was a motivating caoch who tried to get you to perform to the best of your ability, no matter how good you thought that was." The enduring practices, excellent coaching, and team unification helped propel one Lynx to second runne r up in the state championships. 50 BODY SLAM!!! Adam Mohr '01 threw his opponent off the mat. "We all worked hard to go to state and took it one meet at a time," Mohr said. "One of the highlights was beating Underwood because they were an arrogant team."

This marked the first year all three relays qualified which also included two individuals. "I couldn' have asked for more this year with the events that qualified for state," Mike Argotsinger, '01 said. "It took awhile to sink in. It was the last meet for the season:' To help support the qualifiers, the team joined them for the trip to state in Iowa City. "As an alternate I got lots of experience by watching the other swimmers ," Bruce Landstrom, '04 said. "I enjoyed making friends and getting to know them more on and off of the team." Even though the team joined a new conference, they still needed to travel and work just as hard. Because of the new conference the boys swim team didn't have the same season as the girls, this gave them more room in the pool for practice. "It was a lot easier without sharing the pool with the girls during the practices," David English, '02 said. ''We just tried our hardest to accomplish our goals to make it to state." The team's hard work and dedication paid off as they defeated their opponents though out the winter season and shattered many school records. The 100 breaststroke, 100 fly, and two of the relay records were blown away. "The season was great and so was the team;' Steve Mattox, '03 said. "It was especially fun throwing the team managers into the pool after practices." With the hard work in practice, the team bonding, and the state qualifiers, the team was able to show great improvement. _l!c,g c,nJ1- eovs SWIMMING Omaha Gross OPS Invite Ralston Lincoln Southeast SC Metro SC East Lewis Central Lewis Central Invite Skutt Roncalli/Brownell Talbot Urbandale Invite City Meet MRC Meet Districts 52 Story by Michon Runyon 133-18, w 2 nd 88-83, w g th 27-67, L 56-38, w 110-60, w 4th 135-16, w 117-41, w 4th 1 •t 2 nd 3rd HAVING FUN!!!

As the AL girls swimming season came to an end, the team reflected on all the good times and accomplishments of the season. "We did a lot of team bonding on the bus," Cristin Runyon '03 said. "I also remember the bonfires that we had. We grew closer during those times." The team enjoyed the bonfires that they have every year. "Every year we have a bonfire at the coach's house," Andrea Weare '02 said. " I also remember that after home meets we went to Godfather's pizza." With many new swimmers, the team felt that the season was more of a rebuilding period. "Our biggest goal was for the freshmen to improve." Along with the freshmen gaining experience, many swimmers concentrated on improving the times they received at the meets. "We had a good season," Chelsea Schulz '01 said. "Everyone cut times and we did well as a team." Besides the team doing wel l togethe r, members also accomplished personal goals by having two team members, Holly Danker '01 and Cindy Christensen '03, go to State. Christensen qualified for diving and ranked thirteenth out of twenty-four. Despite a shoulder injury, Danker qualified in the 100 free style. "I didn't think I would do very well at state." Danker said. "My shoulder was taped to keep it in place during the competition." The AL swim team looks back on the many new memories that they shared and look forward to accomplishing even more in the seasons to come. _l!E9t:nd1 GIRLS SWIMMING OM Roosevelt MRC Relays Sioux City Metro WDMValley OM Lincoln Lewis Central Sioux City East Urbandale Invitational Lewis Central Lewis Central Invitational MRC Invitational 52-134, L 2rd 84-96, L n/a 5t11 69-107, L 92-84, w 6th 247-255, L 2rd 2rd Story by Amanda Ehrenberg 53 After having a hard, competitive season, the boys' soccer team ended with a record. They started out the season playing against tough teams, but that did not have any impact on the team. " It was more challenging then playing easier teams." Luke Wills '01 said. " It made us play much harder." The Varsity consisted of mostly upperclassmen, and because of that, it wasn't hard for the players to get use to each other. Although the experienced players made the team play well, it was also a disadvantage because it would be their last year. "Since many of the players on Varsity were seniors, we were going to lose our whole defense and half of our offense." Zach Peterson '02 said. Many of the players would get their help from playing soccer outside of school. Club soccer was a popular event for the players, while they weren't playing for the school. " I played for the CB Fusion." Jake Somers '01 said. " It helped because I was better prepared for spring because I had been playing all year long:' For Junior Varsity, unity was one of the teams' goals. "I thought the unity was pretty good." Eric Hallagan '04 said. "There were a variety of different people on the team." With an experienced Varsity team, and a hard working JV team, the boys' soccer made an unforgettable season.

With motivated and hard-working players, the girls accomplished their team goal of working as a team and playing as well as they could. Without motivation, many of the girls would not have played as well as they did. " Just knowing I was a freshman on Varsity kept me motivated to play my hardest and be the best I can be." Danielle Mendoza '04 said. It was not so easy being a freshman on Varsity. " It puts a lot of weight on our shoulders." Mendoza said. "We have to meet up to both the seniors and the coaches' expectations." Motivation was part of what made the team a success. Each player contributed in her own way. " I helped motivate the team by pushing people to play their best and sharing my words of encouragement." Rebekah Kehm '01 said. Only practice makes perfect. That is why both JV and Varsity practiced every weekday that there was not a game. From five o'clock to seven o'clock the girls practiced running drills and scrimmaging. The Junior Varsity played just as hard as the Varsity. " I think we had a good season." Stephanie Palser '03 said. " We pretty much already knew how everyone played so that helped us out during the games." Without the motivated, hard working players; the girls' soccer team would not have been the success that it was.

Story by Kristin Grandick 55 O}j Starting off with skilled players helped the boys golf team to accomplish a memorable season. There were many different motivations for joining the golf team, but whatever their motivation was all the boys were brought together to form a unified team. Among the reasons students joined golf was because they wanted to get involved in school activities. "Golf is fun and everybody can do it," Kyle Cochran '03 said. "It doesn't require any specific talents so everybody can enjoy it." With all the memories made this year, it was hard for members to decide which was the best. Besides the entertainment of teasing the freshmen, the guys were able to laugh at each other. "At districts in Fort Dodge, Ryan Norman '01 got mad because he couldn't get his tee out," Paul Knott '01 said. "He got down on his hands and knees and started punching the ground." The golfers agreed that their coach played a big part in the success of the season. Coach Phil Nielson has played golf before and had the experience needed to help coach a team. "Our coach is a really good coach," Joseph Welch '04 said. "He taught me a lot of new things that helped me improve my game." With a coach who helped them with a great season, the boys' golf team worked hard and had many memories to look back on. Along with many team meetings that helped strengthen their unity, the golfers put their best out in every tournament. _/}c,9£nd1- sovs GOLF AL-T J Invitational 2rd Roncalli 1 st Lewis Central Invite 4th Central Invite 3rd Bellevue East Invite 3rd Beatrice 2rd Millard North Invite 11th City Tournament 5th MAC Tournament 4th Districts 8th 56 Story by Stephanie Palser 0 [ Boys Golf 1•1 Row: Ryan Norman, Matt Case, Chad Gibler, Paul Knott, Joseph Welch, Cory McKee, and Kyle Cochran. 2"d Row: Matt Bomgaars, Chad Hiller, M~tt Almond, Kyle Bauerly, Christian Regan, Josh Gibler, Zach Winter, and Mike Crowely.

Golf was a way for the girls to make their friendships stronger and get more involved in school activities. "It was fun going golfing with my friends," Cara Campbell '03 said. "It really brought us together to make a better team all around." Along with strong friendships the girls also had a good coach to help them with their game. Mr. Brown helped the girls by telling them tricks to do and tried to make sure they all played their best at every tournament. "Coach Brown is really upbeat and funny," Rachael Lenhart '03 said. "He was always there to help me individually. He really made the sport fun for me." Their coach isn't the only one to support the team though. The girls felt that it was important to support each other. The girls wanted to keep each other focused on their game and motivated to do well. "We worked really hard this season ," Alison Henderson '02 said. "We give each other the support we need and it helps us be more set on our goals." The seniors and the varsity team helped the girls to accomplish their goals. With their knowledge about the game they were able to help the inexperienced golfers. "Our team had a lot of experience," Melissa DeRoos '01 said. "So that helped us make all of our goals." The springtime was a time to let loose and have fun.

Practice was the vital key to get a chance to improve and get better times "The hardest part is the practices and improving times," Jovan Albertson '03 said. Traveling to meets was also a big part of the job. For many of the races certain runners were chosen to go to other cities. "The hardest part is traveling to other places for meets," Kurt Kadlec '01 said. "It's very time consuming." The year was very successful and not just because of running but also team unity. ''The guys work really hard together," Jon Kinney '04 said. "We grew closer, and better team. During the course of the year there was a tragic incident that proved that track can also be a dangerous sport. During a track practice on March 28, Artie Scortino was accidently struck in the head with a discus. Scortino recieved a severe skull injury. "It was too bad," Severin Michalski '02 said. "Artie is a good kid and it was unfortunate that he was injured." The whole team worked together to prove that the ALHS track team can be successful. IT'S A RECORD!!!

With only one senior on the team leadership was somewhat difficult to achieve, allowing the younger members to have a chance to show their skills. "Everyone took part in leadership," said Kayleigh Coker '04, " At meets everyone encouraged each other." The wins were very abundant and the team worked well together. They achieved firsts in the Glenwood Meet, CB Relays, and the Underwood Invite. The success, however, did not begin at the meets. It all started at practice where they focused on doing well as a team and not only as individuals. The girls grew together to form bonds on and off the track. "I think that there was a lot of team unity, we are all very close," Christine Wagner '03 said. "Even the freshman contributed, I think it makes us a better team." At the meets, the field events always score very high making it difficult for other teams to catch up. The girls proved to be a dominanting force that overtook many of thier competetors. "We had a strong team. We had good runners and the field events were very strong," Kellie Price'03 said. " Field events got us off to a good start point wise."

Story by Jordanne Jones 59 0 !J The 2001 boys tennis team pales in comparison when compared to the number of girls who went out for the season. Although they didn't have a high number of team players, they still had a break-out season. "I think it's great having a smaller team," Jason Kusler '01 said. "It gives us more time to practice and get better at things like doubles and singles." One of the biggest accomplishments the boys tennis team came across was Aaron Heithoff taking home the title of city champion. "This year one of the best memories was winning the city-championship," Heithoff '01 said. "I lost to someone from LC earlier in the season, but I was able to come back and win it." Another interesting memory for the boys to carry on was their placement in the All-City tournament. The boys placed second in the tournament with help from all of the members. "We worked hard with confidence to take home the All-City title," Josh Tiffey '02 said. "But we took second only by a close call." Finishing the season with a city champion on the team and the second place title in the All-City conference shows how hard the boys worked this season.

"It's really fun with a lot of players," Amie Aldredge '03 said. ''That way we get to play each other and see differences in how people play, therefore, getting us ready for all types of competition." With such high numbers this year, the selection process was hard to accomplish. Pregon seeked Physical Education teacher and Head Cheerleading Sponsor, Patty Norman to help with the overwhelming numbers. "It's good having Mrs. Norman as a JV coach because she seems to help out a lot more," Melissa Cameron '02 said. "She plays tennis and also teaches it in her P.E. class. So she obviously has a lot of experience." The 2001 girls tennis team started out with a great year. With only a couple of tough competitors including Millard North and Lewis Central, the girls found their season to be enjoyable.

The cheerleaders competed at state for the first time. Even though they did not place, they accomplished their goal of sticking all of their stunts, having sharp arm movements and meeting up to the coaches' expectations. Although they were happy that they had done a good job, they were extremely upset that they did not place. " I really thought that we were going to place because we had stuck our whole routine." Molly Durick '02 said. " We had gone to state not knowing what to expect, and because of that we had gotten many points taken off because we didn't have enough dancing, tumbling, and jumps." Competition was not the only thing that kept the cheerleaders busy. If they weren't cheering at games they were planning routines for pep rallies, and sponsoring the disco dance and cheer clinic. To many it was hard work, but in the end the result was satisfying. "We had to make an order of events and think of ways to get the student body involved for the pep rallies." Suzanne Nikkel '02 said. " Then we had to get approval from the administration and make gifts for the other sports teams. It also took a lot of time to get the details down, but when the pep rallies went well it was worth the time and effort." The cheer clinic had a turn out of about 70 girls ranging from 4 years to 14 years old." The cheer clinic that we held went very well." Ashley Thomas '03. " The girls enjoyed the cheers and activities we held, as much as we enjoyed teaching them." Teaching the girls was also fun but exhausting for the cheerleaders. "The little girls were always running away or needing to go to the restroom." Meghan Filbert '03 said. " It was really fun to see all the girls perform AL cheers." For the members of the freshman squad, being in cheerleading was much harder than they had thought. " I thought practices would be pretty easy before the season started." Kara Higgins '04 said. " But we did jumps, stunts, and tumbling. After practice I was usually very tired but I still had fun." Cheerleading was a bonding experience for all three squads." In Jr. High, Jamie Matheson and I were not really close." Ambur Lyons '04 said. "But when we started cheerleading we became inseparable." It was hard for the senior cheerleaders to leave the girls that they had grown close to." I will miss everyone on my squad." Marcia Freeman '01 said. "Being in cheerleading was a good 62 experience for me. It had taught me how to be a better leader and that I need to work hard in order to achieve my goals." So whether they were competing , pumping up the crowd at games, planning pep rallies, or spreading school spirit, the cheerleaders never forgot their most important role in being the leaders of the student body.

These are common words that the pommers hear every morning bright and early at 6:15. This spirited group of dancers came together every morning to practice and perfect their routines, so that they may entertain the crowd at all of the Lynx home football and basketball games. This year was a recovering year for the pommers, with only 4 new members this year the pommers felt that they had to prove to the crowd just how good they actually were. "I think our team has grown as dancers and as friends," Kathy Scortino '01 said. "Everyone is a lot closer, we have definitely set a higher standard, we are ten times better than last year." This year was also a big year for them, with a good showing at camp they earned a bid to Nationals, although they did not attend they made different plans to attend the Windy City Classic held in Chicago, Illinois. The competition was put on by NOA (National Dance Alliance) and the pommers earned a 3 rd place in their team performance and a 5 th place in their Porn dance. "I was really proud of how well we did I felt that we worked extremely hard and it really felt good to do so well," Ashley Ball '03 said. "It is really nice to come home and have everybody congratulate you on how well you have done." They came back home feeling very excited about their placings. Which was just what was on the agenda after an awesome performance at MA (Marching Auxiliary) competition, the team came back with a Sweepstakes trophy, which you needed high scores on all of your routines to receive. Being on the team was a good way for the girls to show their spirit but also doing something they loved. "I enjoyed supporting our school and dancing at the same time,'' Scoirtinod said. "It helped me to become a better dancer and I was also showing my school I cared." The girls had come along way since the beginning of the year, through lack of support and lack of attendance the girls stayed in it through thick and thin. "I am really proud of how hard we have worked this year, I believe the squad has a lot potential to do well in future years,'' Erin Clark '01 said. "I'll miss being a part of it all, but my years were well spent." Spirits stayed high throughout the year and the girls will never forget their time on the squad and their time supporting their school. 6fl. 0 n GETTIN' SASSY WITH IT!!!

Photo by Cindy Christensen-----------' The£v ~ lvfCNV"fv With a group of 39 hardworking and motivated teens, the AL Student Council helped make the 2000- 2001 year very memorable. By planning fun activities such as Homecoming, blood drives, penny wars, and tailgating parties, Student Council involved students in having fun. Homecoming was one of the many activities planned, and the biggest of the year. At an annual overnight retreat, the 39 members worked diligently to plan decorations , theme, time and place. The group was separated into different committees. Each committee had its own responsibilities. "We have an excellent group as far as committees," Student Body President Eddie Kenkel '01 said. "Everyone just kind of works together and that's how everything gets done!' At 8 a.m. on October 61h, StuCo 70 Story by Nicole Jensen members were already up at the school decorating for the dance. The dance itself was not the only important thing planned for the whole Homecoming week. The days of the week, the activities during lunch, and the first ever at AL Thursday night coronation, were also some of the things the Student Council hosted. Along with planning Homecoming and all of its activities, the Student Council also plan ned th e redecoration of the courtyard, located outside and across from the commons area. "We mowed grass, weeded, made a pathway of mulch, and planted flowers," Junior Class Vice President Bryan McClure '02 said, "I think it's awesome when we do stuff like that. It makes it look really nice." The courtyard was dedicated to former AL student, Brandi Lippert. The courtyard was just one of the many projects StuCo was in charge of. The year 2000 brought many ideas to the community service projects. One of these was the idea to volunteer at Edison as kindergarten buddies. Every other week a few of the members went to Edison for one block and played games, went to recess and went to different centers with the kids. Some of the StuCo volunteers were lucky enough to attend the kindergarten's class pumpkin patch field trip and the haunted hayrack ride at Halloween time. "We got to pick out pumpkins for ourselves too," McClure said, "We had to pay three dollars, but it was worth it. It was tons of fun." From playing at recess to singing their favorite songs, the kindergarten kids and their big buddies had a great time. Paying special attention to students' ideas , th e members of student council took the opportunity to express one of those ideas. No work for one day. The StuCo came up with Penny Wars. The idea was for students to bring as many pennies as they could to each teacher to count. In the time they were counting, the students didn't have to do any work. "The more pennies, the less work," Junior Class President Kahla Atherton '02 said, "that was the main idea." Penny wars turned out to be a great success. Another fun activity became an every home game activity. Before all home football games, the StuCo held tailgating parties in the school parking lot. "After raising enough money we were able to purchase a grill of our own," Kenkel '01 said. StuCo cooked burgers, gave out pop, and had car decoration contests before each car rally. One of the more generous activities StuCo planned was the blood drives. StuCo members went around the halls of AL findi ng volunteers to donate blood for the American Red Cross. "The Blood drives usually turn out to be really successful," Committee chairman Heidi Hodapp '01 said, "we usually have a pretty good turn out." The Am erican Red Cross collected 120 pints of blood from AL students. Student Council is responsible for representing the interests of the student body and they have shown their success through their actions.

But now it has come and gone and the future sits before us. Those to come will glance upon your accomplishments and only hope not be overshadowed by the marks you have left. Who could have predicted we would have made it this far? As we reflect on the many we leave behind, remember to thank the people that kept you on track and guided you through what might have seemed impossible. We spent the majority of our lives as a student of others and now we become the teachers. We will all go our separate ways, hoping to hold on to the friendships that we formed. We began a new life climbing our way up the mountain we have been forming. 207 Our parents always said, high school would be the best years of our lives and looking back on the experiences we had we know that they were right. Well juniors, it's your turn. You have made it through three years of the roller coaster we call high school. It's your turn to step up and take your place at the top, all eyes are on you now. The last day for seniors came and you got your first taste of the greatness to come. You waundered the hallways, realizing the emptiness everyone is expecting you to fill. Everything you do from this point on will be marked as your last. Your last football game, your last prom, your last chance to leave your mark. Everything up to this point and from now on will shape your future. High school is only the base of the mountain that you will become. So as we finish our chapter, we hope that you pick up where we left off. So now it's your turn. Your turn to write the next chapter in the s~ o& us. 08 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Students of each grade deco their respective hallways with strea balloons, and even furniture. Photo Kellie Price The 2001-2002 school year started off with many changes and inconveniences for AL students. Over the summer many students were not aware that the Council Bluffs School District had signed a contract with the ABC Bottling Company to provide the entire district with their soft drinks. This left many students complaining "Dr. Pepper? I want my Pepsi back!" Another cause for student annoyance was the delay of the resurfacing of the gym floor. Thanks to this setback there wasn't a beginning of the year assembly. The annual Homecoming pep rally was held on the football field and the dance in the small gym. Students again complained. But then one Tuesday in September everything changed. During first hour, teachers were brought an announcement that would stun and shock AL and the rest of the United States. This announcement would make frivolous things like pop and gym floors unimportant. People were dying, more then our generation had ever seen. con't to page 5 Page by Chase Davidson 3 4 During the Homecoming Olympics, Bryan Pregon, held up by his Social Stud teammates, Rob Kinney, Dirk Waller, and Rob ittn]er, hot silly string during the cfieer preseo ion.

Photo by Zac Evers. con' from page 3 It was the first time many of us felt unsafe in a nation where we weren't suppose to feel that way. It was our Pearl Harbor. A war against terrorism had begun. Many students waited anxiously as their loved ones awaited military reservist call-ups. It would be our war. Other students set up prayer se rvices or gave generous donations to charities. Those who were old enough gave blood to help survivors of the attack. There were hours of news coverage, telling heroic tales of bravery and courage. The AL football program was also directly affected by the attack, when their game against West Des Moines Valley was cancelled. We decided that we would not change the theme of this yearbook, Off the Newsstand, a collection of magazines that showcase the year, but dedicate our opening to the victims, survivo rs, and heroes of the tragedy on September 11, 2001.

Thanks to the AL Student Council over 600 people were able to enjoy an evening full of glitz and glamour. Beginning with music Monday, students dressed up as their favorite music star. " Music Monday was one of the new days ," Meghan Filbert '03 said. "I didn't quite like it as much as I liked the other days." Nerd Tuesday, followed by Western Wednesday, gave students the opportunity to dress like Billy the Kid, or any other western star they desired. Disco Thursday kept students stayin' alive in their disco attire. "Disco Day gave me a chance to show off my disco duds and ride in Ed's 71' Monte Carlo," Parker Smith '04 said. A number one priority was to express school spirit and to pump the students up for the Friday night football game. Along with the dress up days, Student Council sponsored twinkie feed on Monday, Root Beer chug Tuesday, and Musical chairs Wedesday and Thursday. Friday was spent on the field for the annual Homecoming Olympics. "I thought the Homecoming Olympics was fun ," Heather Bockert '02 said. "I was really upset that we spent money on shirts and candy and stuff for our team, just to have them canceled early." The Olympics were called off at an earlier than scheduled time due to the lack of water for the competitors and stude n t s .Yet in the time the Olympics took place, the ten teams of six students competed in the Olympic cheer, lip sync, and pie eating contest. "The Olympics we re somewhat fun , but I didn't like th e unfair disqua lification we were given ," Megan Petratis '04 said. "But with the time we were included in the games, we had fun." Not only were the Olympic teams dressed the same, over half the population of the school decked out in red and blue alike for the spirit day competition number two. Along with dress up days and lunch 10 activities, nightly events were held at different locations due to the renovated gym floor. "This was my first year as an advisor. I thought it was difficult to get everything together somewhere than what the students were used to ," Ms. Cathy Born said. "Mrs. Wiles and I were just learning from the students about where and how they handled things their past years ." To kick off the week, coronation at Kirn left students dazzled by the "In my past experience with Homecomings, this year was the best ever," Atherton said. 2001 Homecoming court, Queen Kahla Atherton , and King Zach Somers. "Deep down I knew I was going to get king," Somers '02 said . "But seriously, I knew Kahla would get queen. She deserved it." For the night's events , Student Body Secretary, Virginia Hansen '02, MC'd for the lip sync, the teacher version of Who 's Line is it Anyway, and the secret kiss game which included the guy court members and their mothers. The first annual bonfire put on by the Quarterback Club was held on Tuesday at Westfair. The evening events included performances by the Porn Pon squad and the Cheerleaders. Also held at Westfair that evening was the first ever tugof-wa r competition . The Homecoming Court was announced again, but with more style than ever. The court was taken out and showcased while riding in 2001 Chrysler Seabring convertibles. After they were announced, the Lynx football team showed their burning passion for the North Stars by introducing a North dummy quarterback to the bonfire itself. Thursday evening was the Lady Lynx Disco Volleyball game. The students kept their Homecoming spirit shining dressed in Disco while supporting the Lady Lynx as they took on Atlantic to hold a winning streak of 3 straight wins le aving their opponent with no chance at all. At the Homecoming game Friday night, Student Council held yet another tailgating party where they sold hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, pop and other spirit items to help support the Lynx. Students stood in the stands while watching the 2001 Homecoming game. During half time, the AL Marching Band performed two songs before the announcing of the Homecoming Court and pommers' performance. The dance was held in Al 's cafeteria with pictures in the small gym. The Student Council worked diligently both Saturday and Sunday morning to set-up and clean up for the evening of glitz and glam. "In my past experience with Homecomings , this year was the best ever," Queen Kahla Atherton '02 said. "Some people may think I only enjoyed Homecoming because I was queen, but it was mainly the fact that all of Homecoming week was a complete blast." • Page by Jordanne Jones 11 Global Exchange bv Erika Cole I magine moving to a very large country and living in a new city. Imagine staying in that city for·a year and living with a completely new family. Thirteen AL students, shorter at AL, the style of American food went over well with the exchange students. They enjoyed the meals that their host families had introduced them to. from all over the world, experienced In their spare time, the exchange a new way of life when they arrived students found activities around AL in the United States. When the students first arrived in the U.S., they stayed with a host family for one month. During that month they worked on their English skills and becoming accustomed to the American culture. Once the month with their first host family was over, they moved in with a different host family for the school year, or in some cases, one semester. The school and classes were much different than what the new students were used to . Several of the exchange students said many of the classes were much longer than their home's schools. "Our classes were about 45 minutes long ," Stefanie Blum '03 said. "Classes here seemed long." Another difference was the length of the lunch periods. "The breaks were shorter here," Sarah Komonsuwan '02 said, "We got one hour for lunch in Thailand." Although the lunch periods were 12 to keep them busy. Komonsuwan contributed her musical talents by "You learn that they are the same kind of person." Kellar said. "They are teenagers with the same interests as us." playing a Chinese string instrument in the school orchestra . Philipp Nowak '03 was also involved at AL, as a writer for the Echoes newspaper staff. With a wide variety of activities at AL, the exchange students, who chose to be involved, were kept busy. Although coming to a new school, finding your way around , and making new friends can be difficult; these students did well. "It was hard at first, but I met nice people who were very helpful," Blum said. "People here were very friendly," Nowak said. It was good to see that the student body was so receptive and helpful to the visitors. With the exchange students in a variety of classes, many AL students met and conversed with the newcomers. Tracy Gilman '04 has had an exchange student live with her during the school year. "I really liked it. It was fun because we became close and got to talk about things ," Gilman said. "I also learned many new things about their culture." AL students learned that they share many similar qualities with people from all over the world. "I learned that they are the same kind of person ," Erin Kellar '04 said. "They are teenagers with the same interests as us." With all of the exchange students at AL, everyone was able to learn something new about other cultures . When the exchange students returned to their home countries they were left with a larger cultural understanding . The AL students were also left with a more diverse cultural knowledge.

Everyone had their own style whether it was considered "gothic" "preppy" or "punk". Some students were influenced to wear the clothes they wore because of what they saw advertised on television, or what their friends wore. Most, however, dressed in what they felt comfortable in. For many students, caring about the latest fashion was not an issue. " I really don't care about the latest fashion crazes," Tiffany Teeple '03 said. "People shouldn't have to worry about what they look like." A similar viewpoint was shared by Amanda Crane '05. "I dress for myself," Crane said. "I feel like the clothes that I wear reflects who I am as a person. It shows my personality and style." Fashion was different over the entire school as well as in the same households, This case proves true 14 for Ryan and Amanda Crane. "I believe that dressing for others can only lead to disappointment," Ryan Crane 02' said. "Honestly no one can remember what another person wore the day before." Overall, fashion was a self-defined "I dress for myself," Crane said. "I feel like the clothes that I wear reflects who I am as a person." word ; your idea of fashion was different than the next persons. There were so many different trends being used that people were constantly changing so that they could be different. Students were sometimes most proud of their accessories. They allowed students to be themselves and be different without too much controversy. " My favorite accessory were my contacts ," Dustin Loos 03 said , "When I am wearing them I feel like I am expressing myself because they are different then anyone else." Fashion was different everywhere in the world . Yoshi Nitta '02 thought the clothing in America was similar in many ways to that of Japan. Tshirts and Nike shoes were popular among both boys and girls of Japan. The biggest difference was that in Japan cloth ing was much more expensive. " Shoes would usually cost $150 and !-shirts usually ran $50," Nitta said. The girls in Nitta's school and all around Japan wore large loose socks so that they appeared to be slender. Fashion was an ever-changing battle with what was in and what was out. To blend in or to stick out was the goal of many of the students at AL. View points and attitudes for what to put on in the morning were different in every household and and every mind.

All these things are elements that make an outstanding student. "I think an outstanding student is someone people can look up too," Caitlin Martella '04 said. "Someone you can base your actions on. Martella was not only involved in activities in school, but out of school activities as well. "Church was probably my favorite activity outside of school," Martella said. Martella also found time to have fun and teach kids how to play street hockey. "Coaching street hockey was really fun, I really enjoyed it," Martella said. Finding time for these activities was also important. "I scheduled my time really well, I had many double-booked classes," Martella said. 'To help me keep up with my activities, I took independent study P.E." Martella was also involved in student council, orchestra, concert choir, show choir, tennis, mock trial newspaper's cartoonist Chelsea Baker '03. Because of a love for drawing and writing , Baker created her own newsletter.

Another student whose accomplishments went unrecognized was one of the school newsletter circulated 87 members. Another outstanding student was Patrick McGuire '02. McGuire was also involved in many activities outside of school such as Boy Scouts and Church.

"My role model is my dad, that's who I want to be like someday," said McGuire. One student whose accomplishments were not only in school but outside of school as well was Bret Richardson '04. Richardson had wrestled his whole life, in and outside of school. "I've wrestled ever since I can remember," said Richardson . "Both my Dad and my Grandpa wrestled, they taught me a lot about it." Whether it was starring on the basketball team or starring in the classroom, outstanding students could be found anywhere.

She would then perform her morning routine of getting ready and eating breakfast before heading off to school for practice. The team's practice would end around 7:30. After practice the girls were given time to get ready for the day. So, while most people would still be at home sleeping , VanderHelm and the other porn pon members would be wide-awake and dancing. Yet this routine wasn't always the easiest to get used to. "It was hard at first, but we got used to it,"VanderHelm said.

The seminary, which was held at their church and was for high school aged students and older, started at six o'clock and lasted for forty-five minutes. Afterward, Beck headed to school and worked on homework for about an hour before school started. For several AL students, early mornings were an everyday thing.

The day when four hijacked airliners took place in the worst terrorist attack on the United States of America. "It was a great blow to America," Alex Conyers'05 said. "We can rebuild and learn from this horrible experience. Something like this can't break the American spirit, but only make it stronger." In a well-coordinated attack, terrorists struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. A fourth plane crashed near a suburb, outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was suspected that this plane was headed to attack the Capitol Building or the White House, but was overtaken and crashed by passengers. "I think that it was really amazing that the passengers of United Airlines 93 gave up their lives to save others," Eric Ruesch '02 said. The terrorist attack was believed to be financed and orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist organization, al Qaeda. Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist and the son of a Saudi billionaire, was on the FBl's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive 30 list since 1999, and the U.S. State Department offered a $5 million reward for his arrest. It was also believed that he targeted the U.S since 1990 with both successful and failed strikes. These included the bombing of two United States Embassies in Africa in 1998 and the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000. "I thought it was a horrible event and the United States shouldn't stand for it," Charlie Peterson '02 "Something like this can't break the American spirit," said Conyers. "But only make it stronger." said. "I think Osama bin Laden should be caught and punished to the fullest extent of the law." Many sports and entertainment events were affected after the terrorist attack. Major League Baseball cancelled 91 games over six days; this was the first time that MLB had cancelled more then one day of baseball since the D-Day invasion in 1944. The NFL decided A day after the terrorist attack , which shocked America, New York City rescue workers raised an American flag among the ruins of the World Trade Center. Two weeks after the attack there were 4,815 people missing at the disaster site, and only 422 had been confirmed dead . There were also 157 people who were killed aboard the plane that crashed into the towers. After the attacks, patriorism was at a high. American flags were bought in mass quantities.

All Division 1A college football games were cancelled along with the remaining regular season MLS (Major League Soccer) games. Many upcoming movies were postponed do to themes that were terrorism oriented and and the Emmy Award were delayed to later date. "It was good that some things were cancelled because people needed to recuperate," Josh Jefferies '02 said. "But I thought they should have played the football game." To many the terrorist action warranted a major military response. On October 7, nearly one month after the attack, that response came. United States war planes bombed Taliban military targets and terrorist training camps. A few days later attack helicopters were sent in and were followed by ground troops. At press time the Pentagon made a point to say the new war on terrorism would be a long one.

Rescue workers filed into the building, but in a horrible twist of fate, the building collapsed. 23 police officer and 343 firefighters were killed on Septmber.

Tee Jay came up with the idea to have a Powder Puff Football game where the senior girls from AL played the senior girls from Tee Jay. AL agreed to the game and then created a team consisting of twelve girls and a coach. The football players thought it was a good idea for the girls to get a chance to experience the sport the football players loved so much. "I think it was a neat idea," Dan Wolfe '02 said. "It was a new way of getting a lot of the girls in on the action." In spite of the AL-Tee Jay rivalry, the girls played for fun and to entertain the crowd the day of the big game. "I think one improvement should have been the date of the game." Powder Puff coach Rob Kinney said. "If a date was set earlier then more people would have been interested in playing and watching." In order to prepare for the game, the girls spent time practicing for their football debut. "We practiced at Kahla's house one 32 night," Molly Durick '02 said. "We were just playing around or atleast trying to play, but it still helped us get used to the whole football thing." One practice was not enough so the girls also had an early practice the day of the game. "Since we didn't have school, we set up a practice at Kirn field," Elisha Kohl '02 said. "We came up with a couple of plays that we actually ended up using during the actual game." The day of the game, pink and purple shirts, which the Tee Jay girls designed, filled the field. Tee Jay was dressed in pink and AL dressed in purple. "Just because purple and pink somehow symbolizes Powder Puffs didn't mean we couldn't have worn our school colors." Melissa Stevens '02 said. Even though Tee Jay remembered the shirts they forgot to bring playing flags. "The Tee Jay girls were supposed to bring the flags," Suzanne Nikkel '02 said. "But the day of the game they didn't bring them so we had to play touch football." During the ten minute game the team worked on offensive and defensive plays with their coach. By the end of the game the score was tied 14-14, leaving the AL girls wanting a rematch. "I think we should have had a rematch," Sara Kernes '02 said. "Just to find out who actually would have won." The players and coach thought it was a good idea to have the Powder Puff game. They enjoyed playing, even though the AL teams opponents were very competitive. "It gave us a chance to interact with girls from a different school," Erica Horton '02 said. "And to play a sport that none of us knew anything about." This was the first year for Powder Puff football; however, Kinney thought it should be a tradition. "It was fun to see that the girls had a good time," Kinney said, "and I had fun as well." The first Powder Puff Football game was a success and hopefully will be for years to come. "I have just one question ... who "AL dominated whether or not let the dogs out?" the score showed it" "We just wanted to have fun, but they wanted to kill us" "It was fun . Maybe it will "We could have beat them "We should have beat them." become a tradition." down." "Bigger doesn't mean better." "They made us wear purple shirts YIKES!!

"There was a Jack of pitching because I had an injury on my shoulder:· Price said. "I could only pitch a couple innings a game:' The pitchers had an important part in helping the team come together. The girls also relied on their pitchers to bring them through large deficits in the game. Another challenge faced by the players was that every girl on the team moved around at some point. Half of the starters on the team could play three or four positions, including places they had never played before. During the season, staying positive and knowing that they had nothing to lose, was what motivated the team 36 VarsifY Best Offensive Player "Being a freshman, I went up and tried not to be intimidated and swung aggresively."

They ran track work outs , hill sprints, road runs, and a scavenger hunt. The teams also did unrelated activities together such as a spaghetti feed, and Homecoming Olympics to build unity. In Cross Country each team gets a box on the starting line and they squeezed their runners in . "We usually lined up according to who got out the fastest," Mike Showers '02 said. "They could set the pace for everyone else If you get out earl ier, you can run with the top guys. Waiting to pass people later isn't as good of a strategy." Photo by Amanda Schofield Runners prepared once they got to the meet. Lyndsey Love '03 and Sammi Fetch '04 stretched together at Shenandoah. "When we got to the meets, we walked the course and I visualized myself at each part," said Love. "I think stretching and warming up was important too. I had a pulled hamstring and I made sure it was stretched out." Photo by Amanda Schofield Strategy was an important way for runners to , improve their times. Some of the runners ran together to keep their pace . "I ran with Sammi (Fetch '04) ," said Danielle Yeutter '02 . "It helped me push myself and she encouraged me ."

Chris Milner '02 explained how meets were scored. "The officials took the top five places from each team and added them together," said Milner. "The team with the lowest score won.

The girls focused on team effort rather than performance. They worked hard and all of their hard work paid off when one of the team's members qualified for state. There were approximately ten new girls who participated on the team, several were freshmen. Many of the newcomers had previous experience and others were still learning. Nevertheless everyone performed to the best of their ability. The season also left the girls with many new memories of their friends. The bus rides were a memorable time of the season because that was where much of the team's bonding took place. The bus rides consisted of talking, singing, and socializing. "I think the upperclassmen were very welcoming to the freshmen," Crystal Schulz '05 said. "We made many new friends." Another memory that the team shared was when all of the girls toilet44 papered their coach's house. "It was fun, we had a great time T.P.- ing Tim's house," Schulz said. In between the time they spent together in the pool and on the bus rides, there were several injuries amongst the team, which affected their performance. ''The injuries didn't help at all, but the team did a good job of pulling together," Stefanie Shively '03 said. "It was discouraging but the girls really came through for the team." The number of girls unable to swim at meets minimized the number of relays and other events that the team needed to participate in. This cost the team valuable points. Yet, despite those minor set backs the team pulled through and came close to winning the city meet, losing only by eight points. Although there were several new additions to the team , there was only one senior, Andrea Weare '02. "Andrea did a good job of taking charge, she just had a leader type of personality," Shivley said. " She tried to set a good example and encourage the girls to come together as a team." Many of the girls' personal goals were met. One of team's divers, Cindy Christensen '03, qualified for the state diving competition . It was Christensen's second year to make it to state , and there was some pressure on her to perform well. "I was under a little pressure from my coach because he really wanted me to finish in the top six," Christensen said. After giving her best effort, Christensen finished 101h in the state. As the girls looked back at their season, they were satisfied with their personal performances. "The season went well, many of the girls improved their times from previous years," Weare said. The other team member were also satisfied with their season. "Overall we did really good , everyone tried their best and all of the girls worked really hard ," Courtney Killion '03 said. "I knew the team performed to the best of their ability." Strong leadership and team unity brought the team together to finish the season strong. The Last Word 0-6 D.M. Roosevelt MRC Relays S.C.

"State was an awesome experience," Jessica Regan '04 said. "We had a lot of fun and really pulled together." State was also a very overwhelming experience. Even though the girls put up a good fight at the state competition they were not victorious. The girls overcame all the obstacles they were up against and did an outstanding job.

Both JV and Varsity had remarkable seasons, which began with a good start, and continued strong as the season progressed. For varsity, the year brought a couple of changes. One change that usually happened annually was when the underclassmen moved up to varsity. For the players, this could have resulted in a good or bad situation, but the team didn't seem to be effected by the change. "I don't think the team was effected by the underclassmen moving to varsity," Bethany Spilde '02 said . "Grade level doesn't matter, that is not why they're on varsity, it's because of their skill." Despite the new players moving up to a higher level, the biggest change was that the team had a different coach. Coach Chuck May, who was known for leading the volleyball team to state, was now the head coach for the basketball team. "I coached it previously and I 50 thought it was a good opportunity," potential, the improvement of the May said.

For example if a wrestler competes at 130 lbs but weighs 133 lbs the morning of the meet, he would have to drop those pounds by weigh in time or he would not be ermitted to wrestle. However, that is not the most difficult obstacle to being a wrestler. "Its not like any other sport," Vandervelde said . "Its mentally, physically, and emotionally tough, its not a sport for everyone." Another large obstacle the team had to overcome was injuries. "I had a hard time this season because I sprained my ribs," Tony Wright '03 said. "I had to sit out of a couple of matches and that hurt our team score." Wrestling is a one on one sport, where two opponents of the same weight go onto a mat and face off. Many people participate in the sport because of the individual skill that is takes. "I love the sport," Brett Richardson '04 said. "Its like an adrenaline rush to know that you are better than the opponent that you just faced, you get this feeling of accomplishment." The Lynx wrestlers faced amazing challenges , however, they overcame them with ease and had a season to be proud of. The Last Word 9-9 Lewis Central S.C. West S.C.

"I was kind of "We all got along ," Andy Ausdemore '05 said, "People had parties for the team, and we all had a good times together." All of the time and hard work that the swimmers put in at practice paid off when the team won the city meet. Becoming city champions was only a small achievement compared to their other accomplishments. After a great performance at the city meet, the boys did even better at Districts. They pushed hard and swam as fast as they could in hopes of qualifying for State, which was a goal of Joe Reid '03. That was exactly what he did in the 200 medley relay, but that didn't happen in his individual race. Reid was only three tenths of a second away from qualifying.

State was the last meet the three seniors would see in their high school swimming career. When it came time for them to swim their last relay, they knew they had to make their time their best. All the team members pushed themselves hard in order to get the best time that they could. "I knew that was the last event that I would be swimming, so I knew that I had to push myself hard," Wendi said. "As I finished and looked up at the scoreboard, I saw that we had made a new school record and that made it all worthwhile." They felt satisfied with their performance and the season. "We qualified for state, won medals, and didn't place last," Disalvo said, "So I think that the season turned out pretty well." The hard work and long practices may have been tough, but all the effort they put forth reflected in their many accomplishments.

Instead of attending camp in the summer, the cheerleaders attended Elite Cheer, which helped them with stunting, tumbling , and conditioning techniques.

"The instructors from Elite Cheer helped us perfect not only our individual stunts but our routines as a whole," Suzanne Nikkel '02 said . "They taught us new techniques and motivated us to perform to the best of our ability. Stunting was a big part of cheerleading and because the Varsity squad was experienced with stunting, they didn't have much difficulty learning stunts. The cheerleaders experienced many challenges throughout the year. "Preparing for state was probably the biggest challenge," Beck said. " The conditioning and building endurance was really hard ." There were also several injuries amongst the cheerleaders. Tabbatha Shaw tore her ACL , 68 Jennifer Morley '03 rolled her ankle and Jessica Mayberry '04 broke her wrist. Not to mention the several sore wrists, bruises and aching backs. But through it all, the girls were never discouraged and worked even harder.

For the second year in the row, the cheerleaders competed at state and for the second time, it was a disappointment. However, the girls still managed to have fun. "Even though the ranking we received was not what we deserved, we still had fun and gave the best performance ever!" Ashley Thomas '03 said. The girls gave a flawless routine but the timekeeper at the competition stated that their time was too long and several points were deducted. Several memories were made during the year.

Twinkling stars with every student's name covered the balcony of the commons area . Posters of upcoming events were taped to the walls. Homecoming week, tailgate parties, Red Cross Blood Drive, Penny Wars, Battle of the Bands, book drive, candy-grams , Spirit Days ... All of these things were sponsored and carried out by ALHS 2001-2002 Student Council. The counci l was voted in last school year and thirty-six students were sworn in at this year's homecoming picnic. Raising their rights hands, each member affirmed their oath to uphold the student counc il constitution and to , "Contribute my time, my labor, and cooperate with fellow students. I will conduct myself at all times with dignity and courtesy." With new advisors Jennifer Wiles and Cathy Born, there were several changes and additions that took place this year. "Student Council tried a few new activities this year, one of them being the Valentine's dance," Wiles said. "We also saw an increase of school spirit with door decorating, spirit days, and prowl towels!" "It was very hard to compare what is new or different from last year," Born said. "However, this year the students did a wonderful job plan ning and organ izing many events, some of which they plan every year." Th rough a summe r retreat , leadership conferences, long hours of hard work, and fun times, the counci l grew closer to each other, creating better school spirit and unity. Despite the bonds of friendship, there were some bumpy roads between the council and their advisors. For various reasons, numerous members were removed from the council. Of the original thirty-six members, on ly twenty-four remained on the council. "I thought it was appropriate for some people to be removed from the council, but I don't agree with 88 how they did it, nor some of their reasons," Senior Class President Kahla Atherton '02 said . "They should have reviewed what we had done, along with what we had not done in order to make it fair to all members, because some people have put a lot of effort to make this school better and many were penalized because of some technical glitch. They needed to go back to the basics of what student council is all about." Junior Class Vice President, Pete Lumbis '03, agreed. "It's a sham that you can get penalized without a way to redeem yourself," Lumbis said. Though members of the council hold strong opinions of the situation, the advisors had other viewpoints. ''There was a lot of controversy over this issue. The students that were dismissed from the council this year had ten or more demerits based on the demerit system of Student Council," Born said. "From an advisor's standpoint, we had to keep track of each member's participation on the council. As a result, some students were dismissed. It was hard letting go of students, however, as an advisor we had to follow through with the rules that the student council has put forth ." Even with controversy and misunderstandings, members have contributed greatly to make the school a better place for al l students and faculty. Than ks to the student body and staff who recognized their dedication , hard work , and good deeds. It was this body of students that made special events take place at AL.

Out of 131 seniors surveyed Pictures by Lucas Hale President Doctor Teacher Designer 128 To Be: CEO Engineer ox~nrlBria Artist Who Said What? 1. "Was it rigged? Are you sure they understood the question?" 2. "It's my first step toward the White House." 3. "I wanted to be a teacher since I played school with my little sister when I was younger." 4. "That would be a dream of mine to be a professional athlete, but I doubt it would happen." . "I probably got voted most likely to be a doctor because I care about people and their health needs." 6. "I wanted to be a teacher because I like working with kids and I want to be a high school coach." . "I put Picasso to shame, plus you get to work with models in the all natural form." 8. "George Clooney has nothing on me." 9. "I've always wanted to be an architect. It's kinda weird that it's what I got voted for." 10. "First comes money, then comes power." 11. "I'm skipping the pros and going straight to the 2004 Olympics." 12. "Self-expression is the key to happiness." 13. "I wasn't expecting it. Maybe this is a way to pay for college." 14. "Hopefully I'll get through college." 15. "Ever since I was little I always wanted to design clothes." 16. "Power, money, men, and nice cars!" 17. "Laughing makes you put everything into prospective. To laugh, smile, say hello, spend time with people. Those are the things that comfort and that is what you will remember most." 18. "It's kinda ironic because I consider myself a very serious person and I thought they would vote me president of a country or something." 19. "I've always wanted to be an artist. That's what I've always been devoted to and that is what I hope to accomplish." 20. "I guess it's kinda funny because I don't see myself as a model but I've done some modeling in the past." ap1aAJapueA aJpuy ·oi !lllaH anaqaiw '61 !f'l?9Z'RJ8 9lfJW "81 :n-ea -eaaaa 'll !uosJapuau UOSHV "91 !WWJJ9 A3111SV ·g1 !uasuar U'RJJH "fll !IqO}l 'Rqsn~ '&I :au'l?J[) U'l?All ·~1 :u-emaaJ~ A9JQSV ·11 :11aaa A9S'e}I 'OI !XO[) 3JUUOH '6 !3JIOM U'e(l "8 !aJnmaw U'RAJH 'l :wuaM aor ·9 :uoiJoff -eaJJ:!f ·g !J-enax a111arn ·11 :uasu-eu 'RJUJ.'BJJA '& :uospµ-ea as-eq3 ·i :uolJaq1v 'Rlll'RX 'I Page by Dana Ulman 129 130 Amber Adams Tanya Allen Chelsea Baker Stefani e Blum Misty Bresley Joshua Adams April Ande rson Kimberl y Baker Michael Bly Carl Brown Ke vin Adkin s April And erson .

We faced changes in our lives, our world, and ourselves. We saw one of the most horrific events in American History that continued to affect our everyday lives. The clean up of the World Trad e Center was fi nal ly ended May 30, over eight months after the attacks. The United States faced even more terrorist threats, when a rash of Anthrax outbreaks swept the nation just following the 9-11 attacks. Five people died of the inhaled form of anthrax and 13 others suffered infections associated with the hazardous material. The biological attack also can't to page 208 Page and story by Chase Davidson 207 targeted the media; NBC and the New York Post received contaminated letters. The office of Senate Majority Leader Tom Dashle was closed for months after it also received a letter laced with anthrax. Terrorism hit very close to home in May when a rash of mailbox bombs went off wounding civilians and mail carriers. The attacks took place in Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska, in an attempt by the bomber to make a "smiley face" across the nation. This time it was not a foreign terrorist, but an American College Student. Along with these events, some local events changed our lives. The construction of the MARCC center began in 2002, with plans for an arena, a large movie theatre, and water park. The Mall of the Bluffs also received a face-lift. The movie theatres at the mall, a long time staple at the mall, were closed to make way for a brand new Barnes and Nobles book store. Target was also expanded in size. At school changes in the school soft drink and in the gym floor caused uproar at the beginning of the year. It would also be the last year for the traditional A and B Day block schedule, with changes in scheduling in 2002-2003 in favor of a shortened day once a week. To the dismay of some students Post Prom was moved from the Iowa Western Auditorium, too AL, in favor for more prizes. There was also a fair share of memorable moments. A last second 34 yard field goal by Rick Kellar '02 to defeat Tee Jay 23-22, in one of the most dramatic games in AL History. The Lady Lynx Volleyball team finished with a 39-7-2 record, and made a thrilling run to the State tournament in Cedar Rapids. In a year when we saw the worst and best in man, we found a way to continue our lives and excel! as both students and American citizens. 208 Page by Chase Davidson Daugherty 1 , • - ne another at the Homecoming Dance.

That morning, a plot, masterminded by terrorist Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda network, was put into action. Two hijacked commercial airliners were flown into New York City's World Trade Center Towers, ultimately causing their collapse. Immediately following the incident, another hijacked airliner crashed into one side of the Pentagon in Washi ngton, D.C, and a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania. Thousands of lives were lost, citizens were terrified and the world was in shock. Following t hat mournful day the United States experienced anthrax scares, continued security threats and the reality of war. Despite the horror, fear and heartache, U.S. citizens united and their patriotic spirit soared. President Bush prom ised: "We will not tire, we will not falter, we will not fail." Through t hat statement and the remarkable sense of national pride exuded by U.S. citizens, it became evident that no threat, great or small , could deter the United States resolve for enduring freedom. World leaders, such as Prime Minister of England Tony Blair, profess their sympathy and support for the United States.

Every new school year offers a few challenges. The freshmen always wander around the halls lost. The sophomores laugh at the freshmen. Juniors laugh at the sophomores, and whether or not they admit it, the seniors must get used to a new schedule "My classes are a lot easier this year," says Sarah Shivley '05. "My favorite class is physics, we do a lot of math." AL hired a new athletic director, Jeff Novotny. Novotny used to be a math instructor here. After six years at AL, Novotny moved to Bellevue East, where he worked as Dean of Students. He saw the 2006 year as a great opportunity to come back. "We've had a great start to the school year," said Novotny. "Keep school spirit high!" The new dress code offers a few 6 By Caitlin Lombardo challenges to students. The dress puts a limit on how high skirts and shorts can go and how skimpy those shirts can be. Many females felt they were unfair targets for the changes. "I thought it was really unfair because guys do not really have to change what they wear," said Laura Ingraham '08. "I mean they are free to wear what they want so I think girls should be able to too." Theschooloptedforafew renovations. The girl's bathroom located next to the field house received the treatment over the summer. Completely remodeled, each stall has a door and even has sinks that turn on with the wave of a hand. Although students cannot use them during school, they will be open for games and other activities. For the first year in school history, an all color yearbook was offered. This meant more color photos and bright attention grabbing pages. Despite all the new things this year, there is flO doubt it will be a successful year.

These relationships in the school can affect several things such as grades, group of friends, looking out for each other, and becoming closer. Just one of the sets of siblings at AL is Jenna Brandt '08, Josie Brandt '06 and Special Education Teacher Joel Brandt. Jenna and Josie both love going to the same school as each other. Jenna likes not having to take the bus, because Josie can give her rides to school. The girls see each other often throughout the day. When they see each other they stop and talk about how their days are going. Jenna and Josie have Physics class and lunch together. They do not mind it at all. They help each other out with their homework whenever they need it. "I like it a lot. We sit by each other," said Jenna. "Whenever I need help with my physics homework, Josie helps me out." Joel works as teacher and Jenna works as his teacher's aid. It does not bother her at all. "I get to see him more," said Jenna Brandt. "He treats me just like every other student." The girls love going to the same school as t heir brother. It allows them to see him more often. One of their favorite things is when he brings their nieces to lunch. "I get to go eat with them, "said Jenna Brandt. " It allows me to spend more time with them and my brother." Another f amity that roams the halls of AL is the Mahers: Assistant Principal Frederick Maher, son Christopher '06,and daughter Suzanne '09. C. Maher both likes and dislikes how everybody knows who he is. "The only thing bad about it is if I get into trouble, they know who my dad is," said C. Maher. As the assistant principal 's children, the thought of their father having easy access to their grades, makes Chris nervous. Mr. Maher likes being able to go to the source to inquire their progress or lack of. Attending the same school allows this f amity to spend time together, and get involved in each other's lives. When C. Maher and Mr. Maher see each other in the halls, they stop and have normal conversations about how their days are going. 8 "When I see him I like to stop and talk," said C. Maher. " We talk about our days, and things that are going on. It is pretty interesting." However, just because they are the principal's children does not mean they get any special privileges. Mr. Maher treats his kids just like every student. They still have to abide by the same rules and standards as the students. "I treat them just like every other student," said Mr. Maher. "In fact I probably come down harder on them t hen any of the other kids." It does not bother Mr. Maher or the kids that they work and go to the same school as each other. They all enjoy it. Attending the same school has just become an everyday thing for the Maher Family. Going to the same school as both of his children does not allow Mr. Maher to see either of his kids anymore then any other parent. He spends a big part of his time at school, or school activities. I "I really do not see them," said I Maher. "When they are at activities I am on j duty. In fact, I probably see them less then most parents." This is C. Maher and S. Maher's first year ever going to the same school. Chris and Suzanne spend the afternoon together at school. He goes down to her classroom during the afternoon to spend time with her and work on homework. Chris enjoys going to the same school as his sister. "It is our first and last year going to the same school," said C. Maher. "I love it. We spend the afternoons together in her classroom . It's pretty cool." Going to the same school as a relative has several positive things such as becoming closer. It gives the family's time to spend together and a chance to help each other out.

Photo by Kim Son Tran ---------- By :Brooke Wilhite One of the many opportunities for students to perform their talents was at an event called Follies. Follies allowed students to sing, play an instrument, dance, ROTC and several other talents. It is not that simple to make fhe performance. Students were required to tryout before they made the performance. Steve Mandelko and Lynn Boyd were the sponsors of follies. They judged students based off of how prepared they were. Thirty-five students tried out, but they could only accept fifteen of those students. "People are paying to see it," said Boyd "We want the acts to be done well. We have very high expectations." The student's first performance was in front of the school. Tickets were sold during lunch and the money went to the music department. Students have many reasons for going to watch the show, whether it would be getting out of class, supporting friends, or simply just wanting to see the various talents in the school. "I went to the performance because I wanted to listen to all the talents," said Jordan Colpitts " and to support my With a smirk, Molly Schlater '06, performs a monologue for her act in the Follies. Right. Photo by KimSonTran In her first year, Allison Thomas '09 sings, "Chain of Fools." "I was really nervous ," said Thomas, "but the crowd started getting into it, and clapping their hands." Middle. Photo by Meghan MiLLer 14 friends." Not every student goes to the performance, many did not go because it was not something they liked or their teacher would not let them for various reasons. "I didn't go just because it's not something I like to do," said Erin Anderson '08 " I don't enjoy sitting for two class periods listening to everything." Performing in front of peers can be more difficult than performing in front of parents. Many performers said they were more worried about their peers judging them, than their parents. One performer had a positive view on it. "I was extremely nervous, I always am in front of my friends," said Alison Behrens '07 " It was a lot better than my freshman year. It gets easier every year." Everyone did an excellent job performing. The performers put a lot of practice into making a great show. "I thought it was great," said Boyd "everyone worked hard, and did an excellent job!" Over all several people were pleased with how the performance turned out. Everybody did a great job putting it together. As the opening act of the Follies, Asheia Williams '08 sings, "Star Spangled Banner." Left. Photo by MeghanMiLLer.

" The Beginning- ''My teacher asked me because I have danced there for a long time." Nathan Riggle '07 WaJgreens L Helping people is what volunteering is all about. Students seem busy enough with school, extra curricular activities, social life, family and jobs, but some manage to juggle all these tasks with putting hard work back into the community. Volunteering offers its own rewards. " I volunteer at my church and absolutely love it ," said Kelsey Schreiber '08. "I've been doing it for five years and I teach Sunday school to little kids. I like to help out teachers I once had at church. " Alexa Antworth '08 volunteers at four different places : Jenni e Edmundson , Creighton , t he Renaissance Faire and the Pride Parade. Antworth spends her time at Jenny Edmundson and Creighton working in the emergency room . She has volunteered at the Renaissance Faire since the third grade. Antworth and her Mot her dress up for the occasion in old peasant dresses, curled hair and long ribbons to walk the field of West Fair every year to bring the scene back to life and make it seem as real as possible. "I volunteer at the Pride Parade and it is probably my favorite," said Antworth. "I am a judge so I get to see every float in the perfect view." Antworth is not the only st udent who volunteers at Jennie Edmundson. Along with Wesley Smith '06 and Abby Heistand '08, hospitals seem t o be a popular place to volunteer. "I have been volunteeri ng t here since I was a freshman ,'' said Smith. "I needed to do some community service and my Dad is a doctor and suggested it . I like learni ng the medical terminology and t he organization of the hospital. " Alt hough Heist and has not been assisting the doctors and nurses as long as Smith she also has decided to take the nursing all the way. "This is definitely the field I want," said Heistand. "I keep volunteering because it helps so much and makes me more excited to go to medical school." Helping out adults is not t he only way to assist in t he community. Jordan Miller '07 and Sara Williams '08 choose a different path. Big Brot hers and Big Sisters of America is a program that asks students of all ages to help out with elementary kids to keep t hem out of trouble. This also gives children an opportunity to spend time with someone they look up to. "Big Brot her Big Sister came to AL 22 and I thought it sounded interesting," said Miller. "I like to go to spend time and talk to kids about their problems at home and struggles in their life. " Whether students assist in four different places or one, volunteering is hard on the hands and mind, but soft on the heart. Participating in a game of Sorry, Sara Williams '08 enjoys the company of h er little "brother" and "sister". "It giv es me the opportunity to be the big sist er I n ever got to be," said Williams.

Many students agreed that the theme displayed a good idea, but the DJ created a disappointment. "The DJ was bad; he played no techno music whatso-ever," said Michelle Farrington '07. "He also messed up a lot and played songs over again." The theme brought students to the dance because of the original idea. This theme resembles nothing remotely close to any theme used in the past. "I thought it was a pretty original theme," said Sara Williams '08. "I liked it because it's never been done before." Word of mouth made the techno theme come to the list of options. DECA then voted and Techno in the Snow became final. "Somebody suggested the theme be techno to me," said Stefanie Buhrman '07. " I gave the idea to some other DECA members." The dance also brought some happy st udents. Despite the bad DJ , optimism kept students cheerful. "I had a great time at the dance," said Colin Herr '06. "I had an awesome date and a fun group." The decor seemed to be the big hit of the dance. Some students believe the work of the DECA students paid off in decorations. The balloon arch, stage area, picture background and lights reinforced the theme, which made students enjoy the dance. "I thought the decorations fit the theme well," said Williams. "You could tell they put some time into it." The dance, overall, showed a great turnout. It created happy endings not only for students but for DECA, too. "I think it turned out well," said Kristy Courter, DECA Advisor. "Usually we sell about 300 tickets; this year it was about 360. Anything above average is a good turnout."

"The Butler Did It," a murder mystery, presented by a six-person cast, made for an enjoyable time for the cast members. "Having a small cast made it a lot easier to get everyone there so we could practice as an entire cast," said Jeff Kramer '07. "It also helped make certain activities possible, like the lock-in we had." To perfect the performance of the play, the cast held a lock-in on March 31 st from eight at night until eight the next morning. The lock-in provided closeness for the group. "We went through the play three times all the way through and then through the rough spots," said Molly Schlater '06. "It brought us closer together, we played dodge ball, had pizza and most of us didn't sleep." A problem arised for Kramer, who By Amy Hollins played Anthony J Lefcourt, a character who dies. "My favorite part is the scene where I die," said Kramer. "I've never died on stage before so it was a new challenge for me." The play received a good turnout.

The boys bonded throughout the season, outside of the games and during practices as well. "Most of the guys on the team were good friends, so we all hung out a lot," said outfielder Brian Shannon '06. Many memories formed this season, and a favorite memory does not necessarily come from the baseball field. "My favorite memory of the season came from all of the bus rides," said pitcher Aaron Blum '06, "We locked people in the bathrooms whenever we had charter buses . " Playing games make the players improve because it's more practice, and a favorite game makes the season more memorable. A grand slam to end the game and make it a victory win for the team lets the boys bring home something to talk about. "My favorite game I played was probably when we played Des Moines Hoover last regular season," said pitcher Kyle Suder '07, "I was pitching that game and we won with a grand slam by Nate Kinney." Saying goodbye to the only senior, [Zane Fourney] in a tough game is not always enthralling. Also, losing in a game with a town rival does not help either. But that did not stop the team from trying. "Our toughest game we played was our last home game versus Lewis Central," said Shannon. "We had to say goodbye to our only senior and we thought we could have done better th an we did. " Surprises came during the season. After having many home runs, wanting to keep 50 doing well, and becoming better as the season progresses, is not an unusual feeling for many of the players. "Getting the most home runs of the season was surprising actually," said Shannon. "Most of those runs came in games at the end of the season." Improving in the game is important to the players. Fans of the team should get more involved, that way the players will feel more supported during the games. "Something to improve our games might be if we could get more fans out to the games," said Suder. "They never want to come because it takes up their summer." Even not having as many fans as the team liked, the boys showed improvement throughout the season with 12 wins. Getting along and having fun came natural to the players inside and outside the game. Practicing seemed to pay off in the end with a job well done. Grand slams to triples and home runs, the team had surprises up their sleeves from the beginning to end of the season.

"The coaches worked us really hard!" said centerfielder Lindsey McCoy, '07. "Sometimes practices were three hours long." All the hard work at practices showed during the games. With a rough beginning, the season improved. With a 20-19 record, catcher Sarah Milner '07 believes by having more wins the record proves better. "I feel like sometimes we didn't do as good as we should have," said Milner. "We should have done better." The softball team made many team and personal goals. The team made a goal to make it to state. "My goal for the team was to make it to state," said Varsity pitcher Kimber Markley, '06. "Also I wanted the team to have a batting average of .500." Even though the girls did not make it to state, they still had many personal goals, in additi on to team goals. Milner's goals included: becoming a more aggressive hitter, an effective hitter, and more protective of the plate. The girls made many memories during their season. Markley enjoyed the bus rides because everyone was pepped up and ready for the game. "My favorite memory was our trip to Urbandale," said McCoy. "We got to stay overnight ." Many dedicated fans supported the team, home or away. They filled the stands at the home games and families went and supported the team at away games. "A lot of people came and supported us at the home games," said McCoy. "Family came t o support us at away games." The girls believe improving their batting and fielding records made the season better. 52 Strike Out! Sarah Milner '07 returns the ball to pitcher Kimber Markley '06 after a pitch.

The pounding of feet as everyone kicks up a wall of dust that is impossible to see through. The slopes of the land as runners climb the last hill and the feeling that with every step, someone is about to tumble to the very earth being ran on. And finally, the exhilarated rush as people tear past that white line marking the finish. Cross-country runners experience all of this before and during every meet. With summer practices running long, and the team coming closer and closer through tough runs, the Lynx looked forward to t heir season. The girls matched these hopes stride for stride as the year progressed. Meet after meet, the girls kept up the pace with leaders such as Emilee Sorenson '06 and Dara Beltran '06, the girl's season ended up promising. But for the boys, similar hopes seem to be dashed. With such a young team and limited experience, the season seemed like it would last forever. "You can't really tell what a season will be like until it is over," said Coach Michael Freeman. "I think the phrase is cautiously optimistic." And with those thoughts behind them, the boys continued running. The day felt cool and the course tough. It was September 27th, and the boys felt ready to go. The gun went off! Lead by Matthew Peters '07 who finished 4 th and Eric Fjare '08, Barry Hodapp '09, and Raphael Alverio-Newton '07 finishing close behind, the boys grasped the win at the Denison Invitational. With the only first place finish for any boys' team for almost six years, this win turned t he boy's season around. "With this win, t he entire team became more united," said Alverio-Newton '07. "We all wanted to work for that same goal and win more and more meets." Scoreboard Boys Scores: (In Points) Glenwood Invitational 6th 139 Abraham Lincoln Invitational 5th 125 54 With team times getting better every meet, both teams looked forward to conference and districts. The conference meet came and hopes returned for the girls. They placed second with at least three girls finishing in the top ten. With only one boy in the top fifteen, the boys turned out a less pleasing show, but still maintained high spirits for the girls. To the girls, state seemed like a goal that everyone wanted to shoot for. " I thought all the girls ran really well," said Jessica Grego '08. "We beat one of the top teams at conference, and if we ran that well at districts, I felt we could make state this year." With one meet left, the varsity runners prepared for the meet. They practiced harder than ever before, running longer, more difficult practices in preparation for the most important sixteen or seventeen minutes of their seasons. After a three-hour bus ride, all the runners reached the Indianola District meet. It was the toughest course with the fastest runners, causing everyone to be nervous. "It was so cold outside, especially right before we ran," said Benjamin McKinley '08. "There were so many hills, and running up them seemed to take forever." "I feel that we all tried hard with the competition we had," said Mathew Peters '07. "I would have liked to place better, but with two of our top runners recovering from sickness (me included), we faired well in the end." Through all of this, memories stuck out. For Sorenson, it was how close the girl's team got throughout the season. "We came together meet after meet and by the last meet, we were a much stronger team because of it." On the boy's side, Robert Riggs '06 remembered something Coach Freeman said during an earlier practice. "We were complaining about our practice and one runner said something about being tough and rugged. Then coach goes, " Can I be a tough guy too?"

Plioto by Rafe Alverio-New t on 55 Whate~ It Takes ByDarahDrennen Whatever it takes: A motto established before the season began and held to be true even to the last snap of the football. The team battled through long practices, hard fought games, and overcame many injuries to prove that they had what it took. All their hard work and devotion paid off, ending the season with a 5-4 record. This record made football history, giving the team a 3-straight winning season. Football, a tough sport, has some downfalls, such as injuries. Unfortunately, the team faced many injuries. "I broke my leg and my ankle during a tackle in the AL/T J JV game," said Caleb Johnston '07, "It is hard because other people on the team have to fill in your spot and they have to know what they are doing." Phillip Harm '06 also broke his leg, causing another team member to step up and fill in his place. "I feel that was a challenge to take on the duties of being a running back," said Mattew Driscoll '06, "There are a lot of plays that you have to know and you have to protect the quarterback, which isn't an easy job." Putting aside the injuries, the team t had to concentrate on the rest of the season. Many of the football players look up and depend on one person on the team. The quarterback, Jacob Krabbe '06, played a major role during the season. "Well I think that it is important for me to have good leadership skills," said Krabbe, "When things get a little rough I know t hat a lot of people count on me to pick them up and get them back into it." kicked a field goal, putting the score four points ahead of the other team," said kicker Austin Ring '06, "It was a 30-yard field goal." Even though the team overall had a successful season, there are some things that t he team as one could have done better. "If there was one thing that we could have done differently as a team, it would be to play harder in each game and go to state," said Krabbe. Not only did the players put good effort and hard work into the season, they individually made memories. "My favorite memory of the season was the last game against North where I 56 As a whole, the team also made memories. "My favorite memory of the season was the last game we played against Sioux City North," said Curtis Brown '06, "By winning that game, we had three winning seasons in a row. Not a lot of schools can accomplish that." Putting together the history made, t he injuries, the hard work and effort, and t he memories make a really good season of football. Winning the last game of the season against the Sioux City North Stars, 29 to 25, put a good ending to the chapter of football. Watching from the sideline, John Wolfe '06 takes a break from the game until his next rotation in. "I really enjoyed playing football for Coach Forsyth," said Wolfe.

It may sound easy, but it requires just as much hard work and devotion as any other sport. The girls went through daily practices, tough games, and they needed to bond to improve as a team. They needed Determination, Optimism, and Togetherness, or DOT, their team motto, to do well. "At the beginning of the year we weren't sure how the season was going to go," said Megan Smyser '08. "Some of us were doubtful, but by the end of the season, we all knew we could do good because of how good we became." During the Sioux City North game, one of the most exciting games of the girls' season, they came back from being four points down, to wining the game, 21 to 18. With just a seven-foot high net in the way of t heir victory, the girls worked hard and pulled through in the end. "The North game was during a conference tournament," said Crystal Dierks '08. "Everyone played great and we built off of every point." The team, not just built on their talent alone, worked well together and got along to succeed. They showed everyone that t here is no "I" in team . "We got along really well," said Stacie Brazeal '06. "We had a lot of good chemistry on our team and that helped us a lot during the season. " With such a challenging, yet exciting year, saying goodbye brought them to tears. Each girl misses different t hings about the season, from little things like serving with a friend, to traveling with one another to their games. "I am going to miss the volleyball season," said Abby Heistand '08.

Photo by Meghan MiLLer 59 Just Add Water By Jamie Stueve When a swimmer thinks of the season, hard practices and unforgettable memories come to mind. Swimmers also think of the people that influence them and make them strive for success. For some, practicing three hours every practice, six days a week, came as the most excruciating part. 'The worst part is during Winter Break," said Troy Killion '06. "We have our longest practices, and we practice everyday except for Christmas." Swimmers think of their parents as the true supporters and fans. Swimming commonly goes unrecognized, therefore, student attendance is rare. "Our family is our fans," said Alex Brummer '08. "It makes me mad because people don't even know that there is a swim team, and don't recognize it as a sport, but I like our parents being the fans." From the bus rides and dinners to keeping traditions and starting new ones, the team spends much time outside of practice with friends and coaches, who seem like family. To pass time on the bus rides, the girls would sing and dance as a form of entertainment. "A lot of times, on the bus rides we all listen to music," said Sarah Hilz '07. "Sometimes people bring radios and we just sing or dance and watch DVD's." As long as they can remember, the boys go out to eat at a restaurant before heading home after meets. These go along with the spaghetti dinners that the parents put together the night before Saturday meet s. "We do a lot of pasta dinners the day before swim meets that the parents put on. It gives t hem a chance to interact with us and gives us energy," said Mike Reid '06 "One of the best parts is going out to dinner after meets." For the girls, when head coach Tim Scoreboard Boys Records: OPS Invitational Des Moines Hoover Invitational Ralston/ Gross Sioux City East •• 6th 123 5th 107 L 61 -107 L 64-106 Kealy is mentioned, a tradition comes to mind. They plan this once every season as a joke and a bonding experience. "One of the most fun things we do as a team is to T. P. our coach's house," said Jamie Hilz '06. "It's a tradition to do it once in the season, and he has a lot of trees so we can get it pretty good." One way of getting ready for districts and also a way of bonding as a team, the boys bleach and shave their heads and legs. It serves a purpose, but comes uneasy. They always make light of it and continue to make it a tradition as the years pass. "It's been a tradition and we do it for districts," said Sam Milder '08. "I got peer pressured into it, and it's just to be part of the team. It gets rid of the nasty, dead hair." A coach helps the team during practice and meets, but cares about them outside of the pool environment too. For both boys and girls, their coaches inspire them to do their personal best. They might also consider the coaches family, or look up to them for guidance. "He is our counselor, like our dad [Head coach Tim Kealy] ," said Brummer. "Almost every day someone has a problem Sioux City Metro L 81 -89 Omaha Skutt Invitational 5th 143 Lewis Central L 78-91 Lewis Central Invitational 10th 141 Omaha Skutt w 116-27 Gliding through the water, Zachary Fauble '08 swims the backstroke at Kirn Pool during a meet.

Also, he is a sheriff so he keeps us out of t rouble. " For one of the senior boys, saying goodbye to the coach and his f ellow teammates came as a struggle. Having a coach that shaped him into becoming the best possible swimmer, and who genuinely cared for his swimmers, didn't help i n ending emotional struggle. "Everyone on the team is close with Coach [Mike] Hale," said Reid. "I have been on the team for four years so I am really close with him and he always encourages the t eam to swim faster and do better. It was tough to leave the coach and the team behind and the practices even though they were hard. " Though swimming is not a common sport, and many students don 't attend the meets, people that leave t he season feel accomplished, knowing that t hey will always remember the memories and keep the traditions alive.

Photo by Elizabeth Ortiz 61 In Harm's Way By Darah Drennen When people think of wrestling, they think of two guys rolling around on a mat. It may look like this is all that is going on but there is much more to it. Wrestlers go through many hard, tiring, morning and after-school practices. They try to stay in their weight class by going days without eating anything, or sometimes eating a lot to up their weight. They wrestle each other with all the strength they have, and develop strategies to use while wrestling. Each wrestler has their own ways of preparing themselves before going out on the mat. "I try to go through the match in my head before I go out on the mat," said Clark Allen '06. "It helps me prepare better." Just like all other sports, the wrestlers go through many hard practices, in the morning and after school, and giving it their all while practicing and wrestling during a meet. "We have practices everyday after school and they last three hours," said Phillip Harm '06. "We do a lot of running and live wrestling." Like other competitive athletes, wrestlers come up with their own strategies to use out on the mat. "I stick to what I do best when I wrestle," said Brian Sievers '08. "I just try not to let my opponent know that I'm tired." A new thing that AL wrestlers faced this year was having many freshman on the team. As a result of this, some feel that the freshman affected the outcome of team. "The biggest thing about having a lot of freshman is the lack of experience, it took them awhile to get used to wrestling varsity at the high school level," said P. Harm. "Though it hurt us this year, this experience will help them in the next few years." Although all the wrestlers did well this season, only three qualified for the state tournament: Allen P. Harm and Lucas Harm '09. L. Harm, only a freshman, felt he made a big accomplishment. "It was exciting to be qualified for State," said L. Harm. "It was a really good experience for me." The wrestlers only made it two days at State, but have pride to show for it. They all did the best they could. Now maybe, wrestling can be viewed as a pure sport like all the others, involving many strategies and strength. Using his best skills, Phillip Harm '06 finishes a take down. "I like to torture my opponents and punish them for st epping on the mat thinking they could beat me," said P. Harm. Right.

Although the boys dealt with a rough start this year, the student body still managed to keep up the spirit and attend the games. "I think that we did well this season," said Cory Peterson '07. "It was a good year and we all worked hard and well together." Coach Dick Wettengel helped the boys through the entire season. Along with the players Coach Wettengel had multiple emotions throughout the year that dealt with how the record turned out. "I have mixed emotions on the season," said Wettengel. "A Coach always wishes for more rewards and wins. The main problem was that we were very competitive but didn't pull through for the win like we could have." The boys had a record of 3 and 19 and went to Districts against Sioux City North. They fought through the game but still came up short in the end. While struggling for the win, many flaws took place. Jacob Fahn '06 took an elbow to the face by an opposing player, resulting in a bloody mouth, fat lip, and broken nose. "It happened third quarter and hurt really bad, " said Fahn. "I didn't go back in the rest of the game." The Varsity team usually consists of juniors and seniors. New faces filled the huddles as Tyler Johnson '09 and Tyler Alitz '08 j oined t he team. "The first game I was a little nervous," said Alitz. "But once I got in the game I didn't really pay attention to it because you get extremely focused ." The team planned for a better record 64 and there was room for improvement but it didn't keep the fans spirit down. Back to back games filled the last week of the season with cross-town rival Lewis Central 59-57, Sioux City Heelan 81-70. They came out with a victory in both games. "The last games were the most important," said Travis Rudat '06. "It gave us a positive feeling about the season, coming out on top." Certain aspects in the game of basketball makes it possible not only to be a strong and successful team , but also an individual player. "Our kids still don ' t reali ze the amount of time it takes to personally improve," said Wettengel. 'They do weight s in the summer, but it's the consistency t hat counts." Although the season was a rocky ride, the boys will continue to improve by weights, practice and the summer basketball league. Working the defender, Cory Mahood '06 tries breaking into the lane. "Even though we didn't have a winning season, we never gave up and still had a lot of heart." said Mahood. Left.

Even though the girls ended with a losing record, they still feel like they accomplished one major thing. "We all started to work together as a team," said Jessica Grego '08 "and because we came together, everyone started improving." The girls shared some memorable moments this past season. Defeating crosstown rival, Thomas Jefferson High School, at their first round of districts, became one of t heir most memorable games of the season. The entire game was intensely close. Fans i n both team's student section impatiently watching, unsure of how the game would end. With only thirty seconds left on the clock, the girls took the lead, and won t he game by two points. " It was awesome , " said Bryn Schwabb '08, "I think everyone would have to agree that it was the best game of the season. " The girls give the coaches much of the credit, because without their help and support, it would have been next to impossible to meet any of their goals. Head coach Chuck May and assistant coach Rob Dittmer dedicated their time to helping the -girls improve this season. They even added a fun twist to the season by making practices fun and not just all work. The coaches helped the girls become better players individually and as a team. They were const antly giving them advice on what to do better, and even letting them know when t hey would do an extraordinary job. "They helped me out a lot with my shots, and always encouraged us t o work together as a team," said Shwabb. "They were an 66 awesome group of coaches." The girls accomplished several things by the time the season ended. They met all goals set at the start of the season: Coming together and working as a team, having a better record then the previous year, and being successful and more competitive, are just a few of the goals the girls accomplished. "As far as improving goes, we came along ways from the start of the season," said head Coach Chuck May "We became more successful, and played better and better as the season went on. " With a lot of hard work and determination, the girls ended the season quite well. By the end of the season, they showed the true meaning of what teamwork Putting forth all their effort, Brittany Ridenour '08 and Emilee Sorenson '06 scramble to fight for po session of the ball.

Photo by Kim Son Tran 67 ar co Hard Cou By Shane Huseth One of the most overlooked sports in school, tennis, takes drive and dedication. The boys and girls tennis teams held high expectations for their season. Hoping to go to state, the teams prepared by enduring rough daily practices and matches. The boys expected to go to state, with some very talented and experienced players on their team. "We have a good shot at being city champs," said Paul Tekippe '08. "We have some really strong players who have a good chance at going (to state.)" Besides the hard practices and intense meets, the teams filled the season with fun and memories. Their team challenges, facing teammates one-on-one, created some excitement for the players. These matches gave them a chance to challenge one another and try to increase their rank. The girls team could also compete in these challenges but didn't take it to heart as much as the boys team did. • "You're not set at a certain spot," said Tekippe. ''You have to keep on your toes because someone could take your spot." With only four returning players, the girls team overflowed with new talent. 12 new players rushed the courts and two of them made the varsity team. This made the season look tough from the start, but their determination made the season run smooth. "The season went great," said Crystal Dierks '08. "We won most of our matches and grew a lot as a team." The young girls looked up to the returning players for a sense of leadership and direction. The returning players shared their skills with the new players. "If t hey ask me questions, I'll help t hem ," said Alexandria Peterson '06. "Sometimes it's hard to help the new girls because the Junior Varsity team and Varsity 68 team are separated." The coaches helped out their teams tremendously. The practices they put their teams through made them improve. Both Myron Wilder, the boys coach, and Bryan Pregon, the girls coach, play the sport themselves, and know the little things it takes to be a good tennis player. Flying high, Tyler Alitz '0 8 puts all h e 's got into the match. "The matches are intense," said Alitz. "They make the season a lot of fu n."

Ph oto by ELizabeth Ortiz I I 69 Tee By Amy Hollins The sport of golf consists of a player, a golf ball, a golf club, and the hole in which one aims for. The point of the game is to be under par. Par is the set score one can receive from playing the set amount of holes. Nine girls and eighteen boys participated in golf, and made team and individual goals. The boys' team held the title of city champions for three straight years and planned to keep it this year. "Our goals as a team are to win two tournaments," said Christopher Ohnesorge '06. "Also to be top three for districts." The girls' goals differed a little from the boys' but as a team they created the same. Stephanie Krijan, golf coach, wanted all the girls to improve their scores as the season ended. The girls agreed. "Our goals are to lower our scores and improve technique," said Sarah Hilz '07. "Another goal is to win more tournaments." A big tournament for the boys was held at Tregaron, it was the Bellevue East invite. Cody Diehm, '07 placed second. "It was my favorite tournament because I shot the best I've ever shot," said Diehm. "I took second." Another important tournament for the boys was the AL/T J invite. Two boys placed. "The AL/T J invite is a big tournament," said Robert Dittmer, boy's golf coach. "Chris Ohnesorge placed fifth and Cody Diehm placed fourth." The city tournament was important for the girls. Lindsay Sorenson, '08, placed second. "City went well, I got second place," said Sorenson. "No one else placed." Both Ohnesorge and Hilz believed the season improved as it went on. Other teammates proved this by sharing their thoughts. "We've improved a lot from last year," said Sorenson. "Our scores have lowered a lot, so that is good." The boys and girls played a good season and had fun even though it might not have gone as well as planned. ===,.....,,.,==,... 70 -- - - - -- ----- - - --- - Taking his time, Cody Diehm '07 prepares to take a swing at the ball.

With two undefeated seasons under their belts, the boys hoped this year would have the same result. With practices consisting of weight training, running, technical work, and field event work, the boy's squad was ready to go. The first meet the team ran was the inner-squad meet. This "meet" was a way of jump starting the season and bringing the competitive edge back to the program and runners. The team took first in the first three meets (Pella Invite, CB Relays, and Glenwood Ram Relays), and the hope of another winning season was within reach. To get these wins, runners such as Barry Hodapp '09 , and Michael Zimmerman '06, and throwers such as Joseph McCall '06, needed to step it up. "I'm really happy with the way I'm running," said Hodapp '09. " I' m doing better than I could have hoped and have my best mile time ever." Like every year, the season came with injuries. When Brian Shannon '06 and Phillip Harm '06 were out for a few meets, others had to take their places and do their best. Long jumpers like Zimmerman and Cory Peterson ' 07 worked harder and began j umping longer and longer distances. "This year has been a great year," said Zimmerman. "I have never had a year t his good and I always look forward to my next jump. " With everyone confident going into every meet, coaches and runners looked towards t he Drake Relays. Runners must qualify to be in this meet which involves running a certain time, throwing a certain distance, and jumping a certain length or height. By switching around runners, relays, and field events, more runners got t he chance t o make a showin g at Drake . Independent competitors such as Zachary Milner '06, and McCall, and relay competitors such as the 1600-meter Medley j oined the ranks of Drake ualifiers. 72 Flying high, Justin Denton '07 jumps at the Lewis Central Invite. "I'm really happy that I jumped varsity," said Denton. "I kept getting better every meet and helped the team win." Denton was tied for the team's number two spot. Right.

Ree,..,d'""""""''""'" 73 Right On Track By Kayla Mackland A love for the team and attending practices improved throughout the season for the girls. The team together brought leadership and dedication. Along with the new strategy to challenge the team improvement, came different practice routines. "We have demanded commitment, " said Coach Don Schwartz. "Practices have been more challenging and the girls as a team have done really well, they've stepped up their game." Assistant Coach Julisa Leistad and Schwartz were not the only ones who believed that the new techniques improved the girls record and ability to work better together. The athletes themselves also enjoyed the 1 changes that took place. "We're working a lot harder this year," said Jordan Higginbotham '08. "There's better leadership, we are more determined because we have already improved so we have a lot of motivation. " Although the hurdles, distances in the races, and shotput and discus never change, the team attitl'.ldes toward practice did change. 'Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it.' Became the team slogan that helped motivate the girls through tough practices. "We have hard practices," said Bonnie Wright '06. "Every practice we push ourselves. Each one just seems to get harder. We all know that when you hurt, you still have so much to give." Even though the girls worked hard to improve the practices and the turnouts of the meets, they still had to work through some glitches. With any group of girls there will be cliques and separate groups and the Lady Lynx were no different, but some team members wanted to see change. "I think the only thing that needs to improve is team unity," said Wright. "There is a lot of separation between all of the girls. I think it would make us perform better than we already do." 74 The girls had a good time while working hard and striving everyday to get better. Everyone has embarrassing moments once in a while, but the ones that dwell in minds forever take place in front of your friends and relatives. "I run the 400 meter hurdles," said Erica Shockey '09. "It was my first time so I was already nervous. I was in the middle of the race, about halfway around the track and I just stopped running. For no reason and I stood there for about five seconds and started running again!" I I I mi Not only did the crowd and fellow ~ teammates have a strange reaction to the instant action Shockey took, but also the coach did as well. "She is a freshman , and she was running well," said Leistad. "I was glad that she kept going." The team cont inued t o improve everyday and the work ethic kept getting better.

Losing quite a few starting players, the boys knew they had several things to accomplish to make the season a success. "We lost 12 seniors last year," said Samuel Milder '08. "So we knew we had to come together and work hard. Our team's young, but I think we can do it." The boys knew the effort needed to bring this young team together, and play a big role in making the outcome of the season a successful one. The boys attended practices twice a day. In the morning, the boys appeared on the field ready to work their hardest at 6:30 a.m, followed by practice after school. They knew if they wanted to play better it involved working hard. "We have hard practices, especially in the morning, all you want to do is skip and sleep in an extra hour," said Brent Johnson '08. "But at the same time you can't just mess around." With great determination to pull this young team together, the boys knew slacking off was not the answer. Skipping practices came with consequences for the boys. Every unexcused practice the boys missed, meant running five miles in under forty minutes. However, if they did not succeed they tried again next practice. This consequence forced them to think twice before skipping. "We had problems with people just skipping practices for no reason," said Tyler Flott '08. "But not letting them play, and getting the wrath of our coaches, weaved out a lot of them." Despite being such a young team, the underclassmen felt that they had a few good upperclassmen with the knowledge and experience that helped them improve, not only as individuals, but as team players. 76 "I think we have some good leaders on our team this year," said Johnson. "They have the knowledge and dedication to helping out ream become better as players." The boys started the season off with a rough start, but stepped up and devoted time to improve as the season progressed. Overall the boys soccer team felt that because of the team's dedication, the season was a Trying to keep his team on offen se, Austin Ring '06 fights for posession of the ball.

They focused on the game, and kept their heads on straight, since the beginning. "I expect a winning season instead of a losing one," said Courtney Davis '07. "And to get along better." Everyone participated and stayed determined. Each Individual worked hard, which showed improvement for the whole team. "Everyone has a lot more drive as players," said Alexandra Bohnet '08. "Everyone is working harder as a team and as individuals." The team tried new things during practice to improve ball and footwork skills. They learned the new drills and came together as a team to control their footwork. "The practices are good," said Bess Campbell '07. "We are working hard and the drills aren't so repetitive.
