Each day was another opportunity for her to stir the thinking of her students who were aware of her thorough preparation, her alertness to present-day issues and her desire to make history live. In her enthusiastic way, she made her students appreciate their hard-earned privileges as Americans. For many years Mrs. Thompson sponsored the Y-Teens. She faithfully guided the girls in their community projects and shared fun and friendship with them. An admirer of Christian attitudes, she developed thoughtfulness for others in the girls under her sponsorship. Mrs. Boyd Walker was personnel secretary and registrar at A. L. long before Mrs. Grace Thompson joined the faculty. Years ago when Mrs. Walker came to A. L. she was the only secretary in the office and she and Principal G. W. Kirn made the wheels roll properly from the administrative standpoint. She has served under four principals and the transition between administrators has been accomplished efficiently due to Mrs. Walker's ability to inspire cooperation. Faculty members and students have always thought of Mrs. Walker as a friend and a co-worker-one who understood their problems and had a sympathetic ear. The 1967 Crimson and Blue Staff is happy to dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Grace Thompson and Mrs. Boyd Walker-two grand ladies who dedicated their lives to young people. MRS.

KATHRYN WHITSON - Of Remembrance Mrs. Haynie wasn't "just" a teacher-she was a friend to her students. Many sophomores appreciated Mrs. Haynie's thorough and philosophical explanations of literature and her genuine desire to help them write clearly and vividly. Because of Mrs. Haynie's determination to teach her students something they would remember, she assigned weekly "word power" themes. The students under this program decided "word power" was worthwhile and fun. Mrs. Haynie was a cooperative member of the · faculty and added life to any group with her pleasing personality. Faculty and student friends miss your smile, Mrs. Haynie. Endless enthusiasm was an outstanding characteristic of Mrs. Mary Anderson. Her bookkeeping classes moved ahead as she presented complicated procedures in a simple way. Hundreds of typing students labored under her watchful eye knowing she was "sudden death" on errors. As director of Homecoming for several years, she created colorful parades and half-time events. Positive in her thinking as to how young people should behave, she strengthened 'the character of her students. Somehow, students wanted to measure up to her expectations. Her black hair, snappy eyes and quick smile plus her warm personal interest in students made her a favorite faculty member. A sunny disposition and a twinkle in her eye made homemaking classes under Mrs. Kathryn Whitson a joy. She had a warm concern for each girl in her classes and was most diplomatic in handling delicate situations. Furthermore, she exemplified each facet of her philosophy about human relationships. Mrs. Whitson helped boost the membership of the Homemaking Club with interesting programs. She even persuaded a number of girls to attend her college and enter her profession. Girls in homemaking hope they will be happy and successful members like their ideal, Mrs. Whitson. 9 10 ACADEMICS The world is filled with complexities which cannot be resolved without the help of educated citizens. Classes in math, science, English, social studies, art, and vocations at A. L. were designed to insure students a fundamental background with which to meet life 's problems. Having participated in these classes for three years, Abraham Lincoln students go forth with confidence to assume their significant places in the world. 12 Students Kept Administrators Scurrying SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Dr. Robert Benton Mr. Russel Mourer, who on July I, 1966, completed eighteen years as Superintendent of the Council Bluffs Public · Schools, was known as a friend, counselor, and confidant of students, parents, teachers, and others who needed advice or help. Although mushroomed enrollments and a tremendous building program made great demands on his time, he always maintained an "opendoor" policy to everyone and never lost interest in the individual student and his concerns. During the past year he has served as Associate Superintendent of Schools and has continued to give of his wisdom gained from many years of school ex- ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Russel Mourer perience. ....- ~~~~~~~~~- ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Raymond Jone:; The Council Bluffs School Board, serving as the policy-making body of the school system worked enthusiastically with the new administrative staff. Working with additional supervisors to update the curriculum to provide the young people of the Council Bluffs Community School District with an education which would prepare them to live in a world exploding with knowledge, was a timeconsuming task. As the school district expanded with the addition of Crescent, Garner, a~d Lake townships, necessary consideration was given to the maintenance of adequate building facilities, as well as to the Roosevelt School issue which carried with a vast majority. Smiling in spite of the strai n, School Boa rd memb ers managed to survive. SEATED : Mrs. J. J.

Owen served a s lia ison officer between the school and the community. He listened to the problems of the faculty, certified seniors for graduation, assisted doubtful students in securing a diploma, and persuaded potential drop-outs to stay in school .

Abraham Lincoln's Guidance Department proved to be the bridge which led to the future for many students. After nine years, the personnel of the guidance office has grown from one counselor to three full-time counselors and one full-time secretary. Do~ens of college catalogs, scholarship notices and college representatives made this office buzz as seniors became aware of their opportunities. Underclassmen used the counselors to help them solve schedule problems, care er problems and personal home problems. Many house calls concerning absenteeism were made by the counselors at the suggestion of the d e an s, Mrs. Lucile Hoffman and Mr. Gerald Ross. George Lindsay, head counselor, Richard Schoeppner and Robert Abbas declared that working with people and · personalities was a bu sy and interesting life.

CURT MAHER Secretary MRS. NED SHEELY Guidance Secretary MRS. BOB HAVEN Secret ary MRS. RAE WILLIAMS Treasurer Everything begins and ends in the main office. Issuing passes, sending messages, preparing a nnouncements and handling money were but a few of the jobs handled by the office staff. If a student were to visit the office in the early morn ing, he would find Mrs. Bernice Williams preparing books for the daily "big business." He would see Mrs. Mae Maher as she pondered state records, guidance folders or the attendance list, and Mrs. Boyd Walker as she ave raged grades for class rankings. All office activities helped make A. L. a smooth running school. Mrs. Marjorie Sheely, guidance secretary, and Mrs. Norma Haven, secretary to Mr. Roy Lawson were kept b usy filing, sending transcripts, and working with cumulative records. From September to June, the main office was the nucleus of all activities. School nurse, Mrs. Lo u J ohnson gave a id to Connie Ra sh. Mrs. Boyd W a lke r received Mr. Owen's 0 .

Although all th e books were taken from the library during the summer to permit renovations, everything was in "sky-blue" order when school opened. Several hundred new books embracing many subjects were added to the library. To meet the growing demands for upto-date material. the library created a la rge collection of maga zi nes, pamphlets, and pictures, involving career and guidance ma terial. Miss Lucy Miller, Mrs. Norma Heaton and the library assistants contributed an invaluable service to the student body.

Four languages, Spanish, French·, German, and Latin were offered at Abraham Lincoln. A third-year Spanish course was offered for the first time, In all four languages, emphasis was placed on grammar and conversational dialogues. Activity in each language class was similar as students declined nouns, conjugated verbs, wrote and translated grammar sections, and presented oral reports. To promote a greater interest in each language, tapes and films were used as up-to-date equipment. Only 250 students took advantage of the offerings in the language department, but they learned that it is indeed a small world. MRS.

L. faculty members had no medical training, they knew the anatomy of Silas Marner, Macbeth, Walter Mitty, and all the other literary characters who accompany high school English courses. A teacher's bedside manner wasn 't always the best, but it did calm many students on the verge of mental breakdowns caused by verb traumas or grammatical appendectomies. There was a welcome escape from the daily rigors of the English classes, however, and this appeared in the form of "The Echoes." Although Mr. Lee and his staff preferred sedate coverage of school news to that of sensationalism, many an "Echoes" quote left the student body in stitches. W.

Some sophomores never d id see the light in geometry. Just ask t he ho nors geometry students about three-dimensiona l figures especially! Trigo nometry students were tormented with the laws of sines and cosines while pre-calculus stimula t ed the thin ki ng of second-semester seniors. Juniors had nightmares about equations in three unknowns and "word" problems, but most of the m earned their credit, thus fu lfill ing their la st ma th requirement in the college preparatory course . Mr. Orville Miller's honors algebra had extra -credit projects while Math 8 st udents exerted much effort on a required research paper or the construction of a model. Mr. Roge r Still was a new geometry instructor who taught algebra 3 and 4 also. A s Mr. St ill remarked one day, "Modern math has yet to thrust its ug ly head into A. L's math curricul um!"

GLORIA SINNETI M .A.- University of Omaha Shortha nd, Typing SPONSOR: Y-Teens Did you know that nearly fifty per cent of the seniors at ALHS prepare to enter the business world immed iately after graduation? This demand placed a grave responsibil ity on the teachers in this department, as well as on the students who planned to use these courses to earn a living. Drills in typing , shorthand, and business machines were an importa nt part of business education. Boys who d id not "go for" shorthand took salesmanship and business law under Mr. Gerald Ross. ookk~eping and business math were tedious, but the hours spent on them paid off when the graduate began his new job. Business English was a required course for all clerical students and an elective for those taking stenographic subjects. Mrs. Ma rjorie Gearha rt began her course with a review of basic En glish and sentence structure. Two new teachers, Miss J udy Walker and Mrs. Helen Sta rks, ta ught bookkeeping and typing respectively. Business education, a vital part of any high school's curriculum, deserves recognition for the time and effort spent in training today's students for tomorrow's jobs. Personal typing was a major pro ble m for Kathy Ha nisch, Edie Morehouse, and Rich Pederson as they followed the encouraging remarks of Mrs. H elen Starks.

These students received er.edit in science, history, and English. Mr. Maurice Nissen, a specialist in this area, developed self-confidence in his students and helped them to be more "comforta ble" among people. The classes of Mr. Phillip Nelson, a newcomer to the Abraham Lincoln faculty, were instructed by a unique method. One aspect of history, such as foreign affairs or the Industrial Revolution, was discussed and its development was traced throughout history. Students enjoyed the new approach.

A new requirement in social stud ies courses for seniors was the term paper, an innovation of Miss Martha Wangberg, social studies co-ordinator. Government classes of Mrs. Mary G e pner held a mock House of Representatives where bills were discussed and voted on as in the real le gislature. Mr. W a rren Kruse 's modern problems class es held pan e l discussions on such topics as communism and education. Pan e l discu ssions also highlighted Mr. Roger Kuhl's psychology classes where some students participated in discussions as an alternative to term papers. At the end of the course, students submitted questions which were placed in a box. Later each student drew out a question and answered it extemporaneously, after which the class gave comments. Current events were emphasized again this year in all social studies cla sses a s teache rs worked to keep history up-to-date. Ame ri ca n H istory ha d its mome nts with Mr. J o hn Galloway.

's biology department was very upto-date as it supplied 3,000 p reserved specimens for dissection to participating students. Film, charts, single -phase film loops, a climatarium, and physiological kymograph e nric hed the course still further. In physics, units of study centered around forces, weig hts and bala nces, sound, electricity, and lig ht. New equ ipment acquired in this department included ripple tan ks which were used to study waves and motion and this led to the study of light. Physics problems were terrible and the tests were worse but most students "squeaked" through to make their credit . WOODROW W.

By using the laboratory o n alternate days, twice as many students were able to take the course at cine time. Microchemistry made laboratory work more conve nie.nt as each table had its own tray of chemicals.

Drafting, under the supervision of Mr. Vonnie Tangeman and Mr. James Penzie n, formed the basis for all other shop cou1ses. All boys made a three-d imensional drawing and then advanced to drawings of their own choice. These drawings consisted mainly of architectura l and engineering drawings.

While Custodians Added Shine To Floors When the student body and faculty came to school August 28, 1966, the building was dirty and in a state of upheaval due to the remodeling of the third floor during the summer. However, everybody joined the custodial force for a few days and the situation quickly improved. It was a losing battle between the custodians and the construction men during the first semester. First the construction men made a mess with the installation of new doors on third floor. Then, installing new lockers caused more sawdust and kindling. Cleaning up after the construction crew for the umpteenth time created frustrated custodians, but they still smiled. Then came the window men and more mess, but finally all the steps in the construction plan for the current school year were finished.

SUSAN FJARE Coveted Honors Were Bestov.red Cindi Mcintosh received the Dr. Erickson -Hill award from Mrs. Kittie Ke ho. Tradition has awarded the Daughters of the American Revolution medal to a deserving senior girl for many years. By a vote of the student body and the faculty, Cindi Mcintosh was selected this past year. Cindi, a pint-size cheerleader, has sung her way into the hearts of her friends in several operettas and programs. As a Sunday school teacher, Cindi has given her time and talent in her church and in the community. Cindi-a sincere girl of high ideals-was a wise DAR choice. Although Sue Fjare was a college preparatory major, she still won the Betty Crocker award through a competitive examination. While at A. L. Sue participated in roadshows and operettas and was a member of the Concert Choir. She was a Y-Teen and a member of the German Club and the Pep Club. A charming girl with a plea sant personality, she will become an exceptional "Homemaker of Tomorrow." To climax a week of honors, Cindi Mel ntosh received the Dr. Erickson Hill award at the Honor Day Assembly. This is an award granted for unselfish service in school and community activities. Cindi was a humble and worthy recipient and the most surprised student of the whole assembly program. 43 44 Debaters Struggled Through Season ....-~~~~~~~~~~~ "Resolved Tha t the Foreig n Aid Prog ram of the Un ited States Be Limited To Non-Milita ry Assistance ."

A wistful Margy Moe viewed De nnis Cleaveland's bo d y in Monsieur Le Blanc. 45 A Conflicts on the single sma 11 stage in A. L. High were emphatic evidence of a tight activity schedule. ''Camelot" (the senior operetta) and "Memories" ( 1967 Roadshow} attracted full houses at three-night stands apiece but the sophomores p1eased their audiences with "Scrooge" and "Take It Easy." The class plays were bell-ringers-espec!a 11y the senior class p1ay. Music students le.d busy lives crowded with festivals, contests, tours, all-state activities, sing-outs and concerts. Busy students had memorable weekends "celebrating" and "resting up" after the last performance. 46 I f I I! f'. : 1 • • f ' .· ""J ... • ~ " i · • Y+ . . ~ '· ' 47 Pageant Tragedies Candidates Christi Spetman, Julie Rasmussen , and Ann Jungquist were Side by Side " bums" in the pageant.

Rod Johnson, John Zimme rma n, Mike Hennessy, J eff Maddocks, Bill Bettin and Ron Beall ente rtained the audience with an imitation of the Tijuana Brass. Were Hilarious JULIE RASMUSSEN and DAVE WICKLUND Tragedy brewed in the pots of gold at the end of the "Rainbow" in the Mr. & Miss ALHS pageant. First, the fire marshal condemned the rainbow as a fire hazard which cancelled scores of hours of stuffing paper napkins into a chickenwire rainbow. A new rainbow was ma de out of non-inflammable crepe paper the morning of the pageant by the sponsors and several students. On the evening of the performance, the "mike" didn't work, but this didn't dampen the Sentries who proved to be at the bottom of the list of desirable combos. Even Emcee Dennis Cleaveland was at low ebb. To climax the tragedies, the rope on the curtains broke and the curtains were closed bodily by Kathy Spencer, Vicki Elswick and Al Meilike for three-fourths of the show. Starter trouble hit the organ so that Nancy Hammer had to use the piano for the procession of the candidates. Short-stemmed roses shocked the girl candidates who expected to carry the traditional long-stemmed ANN JUNGQUIST and JIM LYKKE CINDI MclNTOSH and LARRY MITCHELL roses, but they quickly surmounted the problem and wore them like "boutonnieres." An anxious audience endured all the mishaps in stride and applauded the twenty-six acts of the show. Most pleasing to the audience was an instrumental sextette which played "A Quiet Tear" with real talent. In the comedy section was "Little Red Riding Hood" presented by the five senior boy candidates. After hearing the "philosophies" of the candidates, Emcee Dennis Cleaveland finally announced the winners, Sandie Drake and Chuck Fauble. Judy Clodfelder, Miss ALHS 1966, presented them with flowers and gifts as they stood speech~ less before an approving audience. A dance was held following the program but was poorly attended. In spite of everything, The Crimson and Blue staff netted approximately $300-the goal of the evening. CHRISTI SPETMAN and BILL WILL MR.

Mike Shelton forgot his mittens, but this scarcely bothered Jim Brown as he "preached · at" Scrooge about th e true meaning of Christmas. Sophomores made the Christmas Carol live again as Stuart Smith portrayed a seething Scrooge at war with the world. Not even the gaiety of Christmas and the prodding by his nephew, Jim Brown, warmed his cold heart. But the spirit of Christmas melted frosty old Scrooge.

SHELLEY GALINER AND HIS LADY, MISS PEGGY CURRIE fin al Military Ball Held At Peony Park It was a year of significant milestones at A. L. in 1966-67. The Military Ball proved no exception. Who would have imagined that Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson would combine and hold their last Military Ball together at Peony Park in Omaha. The event was a fitting end to the ROTC tradition of both schools. Guests of the older generation enjoyed the soothing dance music provided by Ray Bachman, as the ROTC Officers fidgeted behind the curtain a nd waited for the announceme nt of their Colonel, Dennis Cleaveland, and Honorary Colonel, Mindy Petrus, by S/Sgt. Don Rampanelli. After the Colonel received the traditional saber, and the Honorary Colonel her cape, they led the impressive grand march. The Colonel and Honorary Colonel also' had the first dance to themselves and it proved an exciting e nd to the ROTC program.

Due to this change the Federal Inspection was canceled and a ROTC Honors Assembly was held in its place to present the various cadets wit~ awards earned throughout the year. The assembly proved a mild success and the cadets were proud of this their last year in the Reserve Officers Training program. Francis Clark was Master of Ceremonies for the honor assembly. Colonel Dennis Cleave la nd was honored as the Supe rio r Third -Yea r Cad e t by Capta in Close. Kim Sig le r rece ived the Supe rior First-Yea r C a de t award. To R.O. T.C.

Mrs. Ma xi ne Yo ung from th e W ome n's Divisio n of t he Ch am ber of Commerce presented Honorary Colonel Mindy Petru s with a brace let. 75 The ever-popular Lyhxettes thrust the audience into the present with snappy dance routines. "No, it isn't a slip and it isn't bloomers. It's my little blue gown.11 ''Memories'' Brought Smiles And Senior Jim Welsh thrilled the audiences with his abiliiy as he was featured on the drums. Smiles and tears combined as " Memories" brought a sad but appropriate ending to the many roadshows held on t he A. L. stage. Unlike its predecessors, it reviewed some of the more notable acts in roadshows of t he past. Witty emcees Dennis Cleavela nd, Tom Pyper, ?nd Margy" Moe wove the varied acts together. As the cast and aud ience sang A uld Lang Syne" together, the finale was reviewed through misty eyes. Cindy Mcintosh and Mindy Petrus were enthralled, but Randy Means was worried and HUNGRY!

Paul Otto's Daphne column forced students to open the "Echoes" in search of the advice to the disturbed, mentally and otherwise.? Another innovation was the "Sideline Glances" by Cindy Mortensen which revealed the serious side of seniors' innermost thoughts. Both columns were two of numerous reasons for the success of the second semester staff. With sincere determination to produce a good newspaper, and the ability to do so, the second semester staffers achieved a first-rate publication every t ime-well. almost.

Drama Club Made Fev.t Improvements "Success or failure?" was the question contemplated by the Drama Club officers at the beginning of this school year. Unfortunately, near failure was the answer. Perhaps the reason lay in the fact that many of the would-be Drama "dubbers" were too busy participating in school plays to attend any meetings. Other members tried their best, however, and their efforts were not in vain. They increased the income by means of a very successful bake sale.

Plans for the parade went very we ll until it started to rain on t he six e laborate floats. As the pa rade completed its course ac ross Broadway, the rai n stopped .

The A. L. gridiron men turned in the most spectacular season since that last winning year in 1955 with a 6-3-0. The Lynx success was attributed to their monster line which averaged over 190 lbs. and quarterback Mike Sigler and star halfback Kelly Comer. The Lynx squad, one of the largest in A. L. history, pulled the team into a I 2th-place Iowa rating and a brief 3rd-place rating in the American Division of the Metropolitan League. But as in most good stories, the A.

RED OAK .. .... ............. 20 Headed by Coach Ron Holland, the Junior Varsity wrestling team had a most spectacular season with twelve wins and only one loss. Throughout' the year, their contention for varsity adion not only kept the first string on its toes but produced a very fine season for their record. Junior Varsity stars included Robin Chase 127 lbs., Ron Mattingly 120 lbs., Tom Meade I 12 lbs., and heavyweight James McDuffy. Fortunately, the Junior Varsity was a young team and Coach Lara hopes many of the reserve boys will fill the vacancies left by the predominantly Senior Varsity. 131 132 Jiomecominy 2ueen !J-Jaula 2!lauer YJrincess C:Susan !J<.ieger ?r1'ncess G.hrisly C:Spelman Winier c5porls Queen C£I·isly cSpelman :Princess :71/exis C:Spencer :Princess :7/nn 0.hoc.hey 133 Dave Wicklund drove for a quick "two" as the Lynx defeated South.

Aggressive Play Provided Spark For Upsets In a supposed rebuilding year, the Lynx hustled to their finest season since the state runner-up quintet of 1962. Spearheaded by a pressing defense, which forced oppone nts into many turnovers and mental errors, the Lynx gained confidence along with momentum. Working with a bala nced team, Coach Chuck Francis utilized each player's ability. He often a ltered his starting five , depending on opposing teams' strengths and weaknesses. With five returning lettermen and a strong junior varsity, the Lynx have the potential to become a strong contender for the Metro-League title next year.

If Doyle · Miner, Tom Poole, and Bruce Andersen continue their rapid improvement, next year's varsity will be in good shape under the boards. Coach Joe Hauser's Junior Varsity scrambled to a 12-4 season. Tom Poole, 6'2" center, led the team in scoring with a 13.9 average. Kim Sigler, sophomore playmaker, was second in scoring with a I 0.0 average. Perhaps tne high point of the season was the 3 overtime 71 to 70 loss to the Omaha reserves. Sophomore basketball compiled an impressive I 0-4 record after losing their first three contests. Coach Starley Carr's team was paced by Kim McKeown, Mike Cutler, and Chris Drummond.

Coach Fred Maher once again showed his skill at shaping his thinclads into form. If track meets were won in practice, Maher proved this theory was true. His famous "group therapy" was hated, but brought results. His appointment of Mike Batten and Tom Smith as co-captains was successful as both took their responsibility with seriousness. As in other sports, track proved to be the year of the underclassmen. The 2-mile relay team, which consisted of juniors Jim Ratliff, Tom Smith, and Don McCullough along with sophomore Joe Ranney, set the Southwest Iowa record with a time of 7:59.1. Junior Kelly Comer broke the school shot-put record with a heave of 49'6". With underclassmen forming the nucleus of the 1967 track team, a bright future "teams" ahead for the 1968 cindermen and their Coach Fred Maher. 146 Bob Andersen wondered, "If I sink ony further, they will never know if I set a record."

Relying on juniors, Jim .Ratliff and Tom Smith, the Lynx finished the season with a 4-4 season record. Ratliff and Smith both recorded their fastest time in a dual meet against Omaha Benson when Ratliff won the meet with a time of 8:20 and Smith came in sixth with a time of 8:40. Backing Ratliff and Smith were juniors Al Wenstrand, Don McCullough, and Rick Clabaugh. Added strength came from sophomores Tom Caughlan, David Smith, Jim Griffin and Mike Cutler. If the underclassmen round into form next season, the Lynx cross-country team can expect to be in contention for the Metro-League championship. "Let's play follow the leader!" exclaimed Jim Ratliff. 147 148 Dennis Gaudian knocked the stuffings out of that ball. "I've got it!" was Tom Meade 's cry.

A good golf season is not measured by a large number of boys out for golf but by the quality of a small number of players. With a very successful season in 1967, and the nucleus of the team being sophomores and juniors, great things are really expected in the future. Kim Sigler, Mike Cutler, and Kim McKeown, sophomores, are outstanding hopeful prospects and the 1969 season-when these boys are seniors -should be most exciting.

They were the last class to graduate from th e "old" Abraham Lincoln High School. Graduation was the climax of three years of learning and maturing in the high school on the hill. Seniors will remember the veteran teach- ' ers who were experienced and comprehensive in their teaching and also the new, inexperie nced ones who brought fresh ideas from a fast-moving world. As the seniors graduated, they realized their diplomas would help provide for a bright future which seemed far away to some and close at hand to othe rs. -Dennis Brewer Class of 1967 DEBORAH ALLEN VERNON ALLEN TARS President, Annual Staff, German Club GARY ALPEN Ech oes Ad Staff JOHN CHARLES ANDERSEN Honor Lynx, Key Club, Hi-Y, Swimming, Sophomore Operetta JOYCE ANDERSEN Homemaking Club President, Annual Staff Co-Editor, Red Cross, Dem-Teens, Vocal Music, Bookkeeping, Shorthand and Typing Awards SUSAN ANDERSEN Pep Club, German Club, Homecoming Court, Student Council, Road Show, Tennis, Concert Choir, JuniorSenior Operettas JEANNE ANDERSON Pep Club, Spanish Club, FTA, Sophomore Operetta, All-School Play, Junior Class Play, Glee Club WANDA ANDERSON Quill Club Treasurer, Road Show, Lynxettes, Band, J unior-Seni.or Operettas, All-School Play SHIRLEY ASHLEY Band, Orchestra, Pep Band Secretary and Librarian LAVONNE AUFFART Lynx Artists' Bottega, Dem-Teens, Echoes, Road Show, Sophomore Operetta, Vocal Music LORRAINE AUFFART Vocal Music, Dem-Teens KEITH AULT Annual Staff ROBERT AUSTIN Echoes, Rifle Team STEVEN BAHR ROTC PATRICIA BAILEY Band 18 1 182 Senio·rs Honored ''Old Abe'' Phil Nichols puts the finishing touches on Mr. Lincoln as Mike Edris, Mike Hennessy and Su sa n Anderson proudly displayed Abe in the days of the log cabin.

''All Shook Up'' Senior Class Presented Play "ALL SHOOK UP" left a distinct impression of the Class of '67 on its many viewers, young and old alike. In this way-out parody on modern college life, by David Roger, complete with beatniks, journalists, a Frenchman, and a country bumpkin, each of the characters seemed cast exactly to fit his part. Satisfied with college life, N~ncy h L~of~'ff nd Paul Otto decided to reconcile t e ir 1 erences and go back to their turkey farms. Nancy Looft, as Anastasia Schu~tz, shared the spotlight with the narve Cindi Mcintosh, as Myrtle Hoffstram; the outward-going and outE ward-flowing Margy Moe (M('K LOVE NOT WAR); the cool 1ournalist Paul Otto; the suave Frenchman Phil Nichols; and last but NEVER least, the Mod Jeff Gtesmann spouting hilarious ~bstra~t po~try. All who spent trme wrth thrs p_r~ duction, whether directing, partrcrpating, or just viewing, had to agree that it was well worth every laugh. • • . • Bull U. needed these priie students and they needd Bull U.!

Wicklund contrasted a life of self-indulgence built on a philosophy of "I, Myself, and Me," with that of a life built on the philosophy of "Service To Our Brother." In his remarks, Rev. Wicklund reminded the seniors not to think of their losses and griefs but to concentrate on their blessings. He closed with a moving poem whose refrain carried his message: ... "God forgive me when I whine, ... The World Is Mine." "The World Is Mine," was the title of Rev. W. E. Wicklund's sermon. Rev. A. L. Ullestad pronounced the Benediction. Linda Secular and George Casady were among the 182 couples which marched in the Baccalaureate procession. Fra ncis Cl a rk re ad the scripture for the service.

After- a very long dry spell, it rained during the week of Comme ncementbut it didn't rain on Commencement night. In -o rde r to accommodate more guests, a temporary small stage was built to the left of the front entrance. School Board members, senior class sponsors, administrative personnel and the se nior speake rs sat on this platform. At the suggestion of Dr. Benton -the new Supt. of Schools, a senior symposium discussed the class motto. Seniors agreed that the speeches were just g reat- much more interesting than the usual d ry speech by a highly-paid speaker. It was hot- but it could have been hotter. Nanci Looft, a newcomer to A.

They were not idle thoughts o r childish ones, but questions which thirteen years of education shou ld have answe red. Also, these years paved the way for solutions to future problems. Will I be successful? Will college help me sec ure a good job? Will I someday ra ise a good family? Is it possible for me, ME, to be considered a somebody? Do ubt and fea r occupied a small part of busy minds also, but that ha ndful of questions had been and would be the rea son fo r much confusion. Th en the diplomas were received, thus completing a nother 256 event which was silently recorded in memory only to be taken out and e njoyed many times to come. Now the se niors were graduates-alumni of Abraham Lincoln H ig h School. Is this a time for joy, or sadness? Perhaps this depe nds upon the actions of the gra duating seniors, beca use the future will prove the strength or failure of the influences of Abraham Linco ln High. No matter what the past held or the future will bring , thoughtful senio rs will see through the cloud of confusion and will grasp the one uni ve rsa l truth; that a n end is sometimes a beginning; that the sunset of o ne era may be the dawn of the next.

Jn A JVew Abraltam PrPmoted ll11 ?:lte School Hoard I _ School Board members breathed a sigh of "at last" when the doors of Abraham Lincoln opened on August 28 to admit 1400 senior high students. This clay climaxed five years of community planning and effort. Many problems arose, but the administration and the School Board solved them daily. In order to improve the curricuhu11 and strengthen the relationship between the Central Office and the A.L. faculty, coordinators were hired in many departments: Eng lish, social studies, vocations, and music. Merit students were pleased when the School Board · i'nstigated heedom from study halls. "Merit passes" permitted these honor roll students to study, attend classes, or relax under no supervision. A.L. students voted wholeheartedly for this action! Students were greeted by a bronzed Abraham Lincoln as they entered the new school. Dr. Harold Chappel, Dr. Robert Benton, Mr. Raymond )ones, and Mr. Kenneth Kuester were prepared to launch the Midyea r Workshop.

"All blonde girls and brunette boys are now excused!" announc:d Mr. Kuester. Kuester Crossed Over the River A new high school plus a new principal equalled confusion in 1967-1 968. Mr. Kenneth Kuester proved to be the key to the solution of the problem. Believing the grass to be greener on the east side of the Missouri River, he transferred from Benson High to A.L. H igh late in August. He moved his family to Council Bluffs early in September and the year started with a bang. Mr. Kuester thinks fast and makes decisions fast. These two characteristics detoured chaos many times as he developed a schedule of events based on school needs and his personal philosophy. A twinkle in his eye, a quick wit, and a warm, friendly personality have already endeared him to the student body and the faculty.

"One event on one night is my motto, " emphasized Mr. Roy Lawson to Mr. Thurman Johnson. School Board officials created a new administration position due to the demands of the new school. Thurman Johnson , former A.L. typing instructor, was named vice-principal in charge of student activities. As sponsor of the Student Council he was a "voice" between students and administration. A new job always presents new problems but Mr. Johnson solved many of these from the wealth of knowledge and experience he had gained as a member of the staff f.or the last 20 years. "They bring all the impossible problems to me," frowned Mr. Roy Lawson. Mr. Roy Lawson had his dream fulfilled-to be vice-principal in the new A.L. As a veteran of the Cardpac scheduling system, Mr. Lawson found the job easier in a bigger school. There .were other compli cations, but M r. Lawson thrives on complications. Mr. Lawson smoothed out main new problems during the 1967-1968 year-a milestone in his long ca reer as an administrator. 19 20 Counselors Opened Windows to Future Opportunities MR.

Abraham Lincoln's Guidance Department was better equipped this year to advise students and to provide for their needs as the personnel grew from three to four counselors. George Lindsay, head counselor, Richard Schoeppner, Romola Fritz, and Bessie Pappas administered tests and helped students make decisions about their future work. In a sense, the Guidance Department was a "home away from home" because students always had an opportunity to discuss personal problems regarding incidents at home and at school. Sophomores and juniors sought the aid of the counselors when it came to schedules and course-changing and discovering what type of career would be best for them to pursue. Seniors visited with college counselors and studied college catalogs. This was the office with answers to all problems-home problems school problems, financial problems and-love problems! ' MRS.

Main Office Hummed Under New Princip·al MRS. CURT MAHER Personnel Secretary MRS. ROBERT HAVEN Secretary :MRS. HAROLD McCLAIN Secretary There was never a dull moment m the main office. If a person were to visit the office at any time of the school day, he would see the secretaries bustling about as they answered questions of students and faculty members and solved numerous problems. Mrs. Mae Maher, office m~nager, served as liaison officer between principal, teachers, and students. Whenever there were money problems to be solved, the person to see was Mrs. Bernice Williams, treasurer, who handled all the monies. A newcomer to the office staff, Mrs. Marcella McClain, was the chief typist and handled attendance. Mrs. Marjorie Sheely, guidance secretary, was kept busy sending senior transcripts, filing, posting test scores, working with cumulative records, and distributing career information to interested students. Mrs. Norma Haven had the endless job of updating Card-Pac, and she also made schedule changes for students. Never underestimate the work of the main office. Close this office and everything stops! MRS. RAE WILLIAMS Treasurer MRS. NED SHEELY Guidance Secretary Only Mrs. Bernice Williams, keeper of the monies, could w ·:e with a pen and pencil at the same time.

NORMA HEATON Library Clerk SPONSOR: Library Club No one quite knew how to accept the new library last yearin fact, it was such an improvement over the previous library that students questioned its reality. Included within the new features were several conference rooms, a special research area, beautiful lighting facilities, pretty round tables, . easy chairs, huge magazine racks, and loads of space for expansion. It was the first time in years that one could use the library without disturbing the "industrious" study halls. Miss Lucy Miller, Mrs. Norma Heaton, and the library assistants have always been a necessary part of the library, but their jobs were much greater as the opportunities for expansion and usage seemed unlimited. A quiet atmosphere in the library was conducive to studying as portrayed by Karen Jensen. ttBut Where's the Study Hall?!?" A luxurious library didn't prevent students frnm being non-academic. "Who will be my next victim?" pondered Mr. Tomas Lara. "Checking papers has never been a very exciting pastime," thought Mrs. Schulenberg. · Students ~~Demanded'' German 5-6 MRS. PATRICIA SCHULENBERG B.S.-Northwest Missouri State French, English DONALD SCHE!BELER B.A.-Conception Abbey Latin Four divisions of the language department enlightened students in the use of foreign words, phrases, countries, and their history. French, Latin, German, and Spanish classes covered primarily the same areas: conjugations, declensions, translations, and dialogues. One change in the department was the addition of third-year German to the curriculum. This broadened the range of available material and made it possible for students to discover German literature in its true form. Another change was the addition of Mrs. Patricia Schulenberg who taught French. Enrollment grew in the language department but ~here is room for many more to become linguists-and that doesn't mean "hippie."

However, the epitome of dramatics was reached when Miss Bianca McComb held her right foot in her left hand (while she stood on one leg) · and put her right hand on her head to demonstrate how oaths were administered in Gulliver's Travels. Everyone cracked up over this! Juniors in Mrs. Kittie Keho's classes wrote term papers on future careers. This was far more fun and much more beneficial than "Satire In American Literature."

Members of the Interior Decorating class had many opportunities to display their ideas in the spacious new classroom. Two or three girls worked together decorating the room on a chosen theme. Every two weeks a new committee was appointed, thus giving each girl a chance to put her knowledge to practical use. Since the girls were building their dream homes, Miss Goodwin entitled this her "storybook class." A new homemaking teacher, Miss Ramona Rea, bubbled with fresh ideas, such as the microscopic study of fibers, which she introduced in her advanced sewing classes. As in the past, ple.asant aromas drifted from the cooking room, and the girls testified that the new kitchenettes were superior compared to the old ones. One day the cooking room looked like a bakery, with scores of loaves of fancy Christmas breads and rolls. (That new yeast was reaIIy explosive!)

RUS B.S.- Northwcst Missouri State Driver State Driver Education was one of the more popular courses offered at A.L. , primarily because it was a vital requirement for obtaining the student's heart's desire-a driver's license. Another reason for taking Driver Education was the reduced insurance premiums. A Safety Conference held at the University of Northern Iowa in March hig hlighted the driving year for stand -by instructors Gary Rus and Albert Worley, and two new teachers, Paul Ehlert and Mike Forbes. Instructors Ehlert, Forbes, and Rus arrived ·from driving courses at T ee Jay second semester with the simulator, which provided students with a maximum of fun-and unwary Council Bluffs pedestrians with a maximwn of security. Evaluating driving situations was a part of the "in car" requirement for students. Driving did provide the gallant instructors with a few moments of panic when they struggled with each group of frightened, but g rimly determined, beginning drivers. No great catastrophes_ occurred, however, and everyone, especially insurance companies, breathed a sig h of relief at the encl of the yea r.

Senior girls wore grim facial expressions when they learned that Physical Education was mandatory for the full year, rather than for the traditional single semester. When they eventually grew accustomed to this rule, a new requirement shocked them-taking showers via the group-participation plan. The girls, however, learned to "grin and bare it," their acceptance being aided by the fact that locker rooms and shower facilities were twice as large. Boys as well as girls enjoyed P.E., due to a growing interest in "exer-genies." All boys were taught to wrestle, play basketball, tennis, and golf. Four instmctors managed 1400 students in two gymnasiums and two balconies off the new gym. The physical fitness programs expanded with the new facilities.

After all, they wanted to be proud of "their school." \ "This is lots more fun than scrubbing floors," laughed Mary Filkins to Frances Alexander. 40 John Rolfe acquired training in the cafeteria which rated him· high for K.P. duty.

LUCILE HOFFMAN "I can't hear you. Speak up!" .. MISS NANCY GERDES An u~c~ ble personality with change- able ha1:. MRS. MARJORIE GEARHART "A jolly teacher with a motherly attitude." MR. EDWARD FLANNERY "Not eye-dropp:?r-pipette." Road shows and plays at A.L. were directed by Mrs. Lucile Hoffman for l2 years. Students remember her as a "short" bundle of enthusiasm with "tall " ideas, and they worked hard to meet her goals. Biology and its long scientific terms opened new doors to Mr. Ed Flannery's students. Due to advanced study each sum~er, he approached each school year w_ith. n~w enthusiasm and projects. Many students decided on their life s work under the encouragement of Mr. Flannery during his seven years at A.L. As a mother of five teenagers, Mrs. Marj orie Gearhart had a headstart on understanding young people. Her class presentations were adjusted to the abilities of her students so that all felt sernre in her classes. MR. W. W . OWEN "Remember-always act like ladies and gen- tlemen." Dressmaking and good grooming were given personal emphasis under the warm personality of Miss N ancy Gerdes. Youthful ideas coupled with old-fashioned character-building created a strong bond between her and the girls in her department. Contrary to admitted belief-students held Mr. W ilbur Owen in high regard. As principal of A.L. for eight years, it was a well-known fact that Mr. Owen presented a calm front in the face of great obstacles. Students regarded "Dub-Dub" as a friend who would listen sympathetically and advise them as a father. 43 44 'Tm picking up my Republican popcorn!"

Federal lunch was here to stay this year -like it or not. A sign was ordered to be paid for by the Student Council with the help of the school board. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Thurman Johnson, Director of Student Affairs, a huge Christmas tree was purchased plus many dollars worth of decorations. Student Council members placed the tree in the court and decorated it so as to provide Christmas spirit for the ten days previous to vacation.

Ken Steine Revitalized Drama New stage and workshop facilities plus a new drama instructor, Mr. Ken Steine, gave the drama club a fresh start. Changes began with the elimination of the usual junior and senior class plays. Using the drama club members as backbone for cast and crew work, two all-school plays were launched- "The Girls in 509" and "The Night of January 16". Mr. Ken Steine looked on as Pat Young experimented with the light board. A spring picnic was planned for the dual purpose of honoring the graduating seniors and initiating new Thespians. The fall and spring initiation ceremonies welcomed thirty-three new Thespians to A.L's Troupe No. 964, reactivated under Mr. Steine's direction. Thespian points were acquired through active participation in the various facets of drama.

Thomas La~a, Mary Lou Gillespie, Kay Fulcher and Debbie Ramsvick eoioyed a Mexican dinner at Howard's. Spanish "Clubbers" had a brilliant idea-a taco sale. The student body devoured the idea and forgot about the 3:05 busses. There were more people than tacos at the sale. It was a terrific sellout! Stimulated with this success, another taco sale was held but this time the tacos outnumbered the people! Oh, well, can't win every time. A big social event was held at Howard's in Omaha where real Mexican food was the menu of the evening. Real much fun-even if some members patronized MacDonald's and the Dairy Queen. German club went places this year! It all began with a potluck dinner and a grueling initiation in the fall. This was followed by the Christmas project-sponsoring a needy family for Christmas. Bake sales kept the German Club mothers busy but enlarged the treasury. Spring activities included dinner at a German restaurant and a moonlight hayrack ride. Bake sales proved to be the stabilizing factor of the German economy. OFFICERS PRESIDENT ...... . .................. . Janet Hellbusch VICE-PRESIDENT · · · · · · · · · · . . . . . . . . . . . .

Red Cross enthusiasm was high during the homecoming season as members created a "Fair Lady" float for the parade. In fact-this enthusiasm won third place for Red Cross members. To be truthful, subsequent activity was slight; however, in the spring Red Cross members supervised filling the traditional friendship boxes and collected $89.77 to help others.

"Nice, comfortable seats." "Good indirect lighting." "Wonderful acoustics." All these comments made the usherettes glow with pride as they directed people to their seats. In the fall, there was a drive to wear look-alike dresses but they lost to "miniskirts." Guest Day was held May 1 when current members brought guests to recommend for membership the next year.

Members complained about dishpan hands, but a $1~0 profit soothed their discomfort. A "classy" senior banquet at Club 64 was the result of this succes~ful adventur~.

TARS membership resembled ·that of its adult counterpart in the Republican Party- dissension reigned. However, the TARS succeeded in filling their calendar with exciting activities. First was the bus trip to Des Moines to hear Governor Ronald Reagan of California. Later in the year, Republican Presidential hopeful, Richard Nixon, spoke at Creighton University where he was greeted by exuberant TARS. To complete a well-rounded political program, several of the TARS, along with the Dem-Teens, attended a speech given by Sen. Eugene McCarthy, Democratic Presidential hopeful. TARS shared "political talk" on the bus trip to Des Moines. OFFICERS PRESIDENT Steve Marsh VICE-PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Active FTA'er, Cathy Walters, aided Mrs. Kittie Keho m the correcting of English themes. While FT A, sponsored by Mrs. Maxine McCune and Miss Judith Walker, oozed with a boundless membership and teeming ideas, the bulk of activity occurred in the spring. Guest speakers at potluck meetings included Mrs. Katherine Deline, A.L. physical education teacher, and Mrs. Diane Jackson, student teacher from Omaha University. At least a dozen teachers took advantage of the teacher-aid plan offered by FTA'ers. Members soon learned how monotonous correcting papers can be! Visitation D ay, March 19, proved to be interesting as A.L. and T .J. members observed the teaching techniques of veteran teachers. Activities climaxed in a day's visit to Nebraska Wesleyan, March 29. What excitement-a busload of sixty prospective teachers eating, laughing, and talking all together.

Under the competent supervision of Mr. Gerald Ross, DECA became one of the most active clubs at school. Early in the school year, three officers travelled to Des Moines for the Iowa DECA Leadership Conference. Funds were raised through bake and candy sales to have a joint DECA party with Tee Jay's chapter at Fairmont lodge. DECA also took advantage of an opportune situation and held a dance after the Tee Jay-A.L. basketball bout. Entertainment by the Turning Point Combo provided an evening of fun although it was not a financial success. Throughout the '67-'68 school year, DECA showed that a club could be rewarding as well as fun with just a little work and enthusiasm. Mr. Gerald Ross instructed and inspired DECA students to be top-flight businessmen in these changing times. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . . . . . Glenda Cox VICE PRESIDENT . . . . . .

The organization grew . . . and grew . . . and grew .. . and (well, meetings were usually crowded.) Activities included a student benefit concert presented by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band from New Orleans. The jazz was infectious, and feet-tapping and hand-clapping soon progressed to a wild parade around the gymnasiwn. Then the American Field Service arranged a faculty game between A.L. and T.J. Another huge financial success! These activities promoted the spirit of friendships- at home and abroad. Improvised jazz was a rare treat for A.1. students at the benefit concert.

With The American Field Service Student Exchange Program is the opportunity of a lifetime-for the students, for the host families, and the friends of an AFS'er. One exchange student to the USA in 1966 made the following comment: "You meet so many new ideas and attitudes-you notice similarities and differences, and often when at first you see such big differences you think you 're on a new planet, you soon find out th at both countries h ave ex actly the same basic idea or goal, but that the expression of the idea has developed in another direction." These realizati ons have m ade 1967 -68 valu able, too. In the spirit of int ern ation al fri endships, Leif Lahn of Stord, Norway attended A.L. as a senior, while Terry Ger ard participated in the summer exch ange program in Tehran, Iran.

For the first time, the Varsity Cheerleaders consisted of only senior girls. They agreed that this arr:angement worked better than having both juniors and seniors on the squad. During the summer of 1967 Karen Spetman, Sylvia Nelson, Lynn Schneider, and Marty Speer ventured an sy2 hour bus ride to Cedar Falls, Iowa, where they attended the American Cheerleading Foundation Camp. They proudly returned to A.L. as the "Grand Champions of Iowa." During the year, the cheerleaders spiced several get-togethers with pre-game taco dinners- fattening but fun. Enthusiasm was the inspiration and spirit was the goal of the varsity cheerleaders. With an increase of loyal pep dubbers and the comfort of a larger school, the cheerleaders succeeded in changing a once weak spark of school spirit into a resounding explosion.

Mrs. Dorothy Ricke, the new debate coach, tackled the problem of inexperience by promoting a class-training program. To begin the season, Linda Moore, Dave Brazelton, Rick Adams, and Jon Shea starred as silver-ribbon winners in the Greater Omaha League of Debaters.

Concerts . . . Clinic . . . Tours . . . Contest. With numerous activities and fewer class periods · the A.l. band had to work hard to keep on its toes. By utilizing new practice rooms, more srnal I groups could and did enter the small group contest. The A.L. Music Department was the proud host of this music event. Determined to finish the year with a bang, the band succeeded in earning a Division I rating at contest for the fourth consecutive year. The dance band, nicknamed the "red coats", performed at many school functions as well as in the community. Basketball half-times were enlivened by its popular music, and most of the m~sical background for Premiere was provided by members of the dance band. This group was honored twice during the year. The first time was whe~ it played at the FremontMills Prom. A second highlight was taping a television show which will be broadcast in the fall. Among the orchestra activities for the year was playing for the school operetta. The orchestra pit pleased, but crowded the players during performances. Long hours of practice left orchestra members weary . . However, these practices paid off when the orchestra also received a Division I rating fo.i: the fourth consecutive year.

The scheduled classes included precision drilling and baton and hand signals. Emphasis was placed on hand work which helped Allan in his role as drum major. Marvin Cox received his training at Smith-Walbridge Camp, which offered classes in planning and charting band shows, marching maneuvers, signalling, and conducting. The outstanding feature of this camp was the opportunity for each camper to take a four-part examination, which, if successfully completed, led to the commission Drum Major First Class. Marvin is one of approximately 170 in the country who have been so commissioned. As part of his examination, Marvin originated and charted the show "A Salute to the Armed Forces" which was presented by the band in the fall. DRUM MAJOR MARVIN COX Drum Majorettes, under the direction of Diane Lee, practiced with the band in the mornings and perfected their routines in their spare time. These girls twirled all summer in order to be ready for fall shows and displayed their talent in other public performances besides band appearances.

Did you say there isn't going to be an ALHS pageant? Why they can't do that to us! Doesn't anyone believe in tradition any more?" But tradition was broken as the announcement of Mr. and Miss ALHS was combined with "Premiere 68" in mid-March to produce a top-notch "Road Show" with packed houses and a $1,000 profit. Was ·Broken Mr. ALHS Kelly Comer All tradition was not put aside, however, as the five girl contestants appeared in long white gowns carrying the traditional long-stemmed red rose. Boys wore dark suits and ties to complete the effect of formality which has been a symbol of all ALHS pageants in the past. After each contestant answered a situation question, Kathy Spencer and Cindy Wilkinson, Emcees for the "Road Show", announced Fran Adams and Kelly Comer as Mr. and Miss ALHS1968. Fran Adams floated on Cloud 9 as Miss ALHS. MARK ABEL TERRY GERARD ROBERT ANDERSON LEXY SPENCER 109 110 Marcia Robnett wowed the crowd as "Thoroughly Modern Millie."

Palm trees, a waterfall, and a flowered footbridge outlined the edge of the gym while the floor was left empty for dancing to the American Breed. At the height of the evening, the prom court was introduced by Maryanne Pettigrew, junior class president. After a review of the activities of the court members, Robert Anderson and Lexy Spencer were announced as the new King and Queen amid the applause of the student body. Five hundred couples had a great evening!

Danced to the American Breed Juniors were the envy of all high schools because they hired The American Breed. Juniors greeted prom guests as they crossed the flower-bedecked bridge. 115 116 Highlighting the Abraham Lincoln Day assembly was the dedication of the yearbook by Editor-In-Chief Cindy Mortensen. Dedication Boomeranged! D isappointment and disapproval reigned at the beginning of Abe Lincoln Day, 1968. Gone were decorated homerooms. Gone were the Abe " Jook-alikes." The rep lacement was a guest speaker, Robert Goodell, a former newspaperman, who revealed the "real" side of the school's namesake via a faul ty micro phone. Before the end of the assembly, however, the student body was "wound up" with excitement. Crimson and Ellie annual staffers introduced another innovation-the dedicati on of the yearbook by the ·editorin-chi ef rather than by the sponsor. Yearbook advisor Miss Erva Huckleeberry admitted she was disappointed when she allowed editor Cindy Mortensen to deliver the dedication speech, ("I' ve always enjoyed doing that myself. ") but was suffi ciently, happily shocked when she was escorted to the stage amid a stand ing ovation of an approving audience, as the recipient of the 1968 yearbook dedication. Marvin Cox and Diane Ward, city wi nners in the Elks' Youth Leadership Contest, were also honored. "Old Abe" would have enjoyed his birthday-it was truly an "All-American" day ! Miss Erva Huckleeberry decided to join in the fun of a shocking but happy occasion. Students and faculty alike were inspired by the unusual facts brought out by Mr. Robert Goodell. The Iowa State University Band entertained the A. L. students with a mixture of pop jazz and classical music. Jim McDuffie stole the trampoline show· from Eddie Cole, the expert! Variety was the note of Vic Hyde's musical assembly. l.D. Assemblies Paid Off Robert Keiper's "Man To the Moon" display captivated the student body. 117 120 It was a gala event for homecoming royalty: Cathy Walters, Kathy Batten and Mary Brooks. Mrs. Anderson Won The Battle of the Parade Harry Crowl, A.L's first "'Alumni", seemed as pleased as Kathy Batten about Homecoming. Homecoming had its share of confusion in the new scheme of life at A. 1. One day there was to be a parade-the next day it was declared impossible. "Impossible" is a word which fires Mrs. Mary Anderson into intense action. She worked, worried, fought and struggled with all the "powers" and she won. "My Fair Lady" was selected as the theme of the parade and organizations and classes worked feverishly on their entries. Floats were not numerous, but they were classy. Snow and the parade arrived on ·the same day but luckily not at the same time. The Weather Bureau guaranteed no snow during the parade hour and it was right. But it was so cold that the pep club and band participants marched fast to keep warm. Homecoming dawned clear and cold, but excitement was high. However the Lynx lost to Rummel with a score of 26 to 41 because the last quarter was one minute too long. Catchy tunes from "My Fair Lady" preceded the crowning of Kathy Batten as Homecoming Queen-truly A. L's "Fair Lady." There were fireworks and clever march routines, all executed by a band which had practiced long and hard. A homecoming dance was the finale of the day's activities. 121 122 HOMECOMING COURT ROW 1: Mary Jo Grandick, Dee ~cLaughlin, Vicki Golden, Kathy Bills.

Everyone became "accustomed to a victory smile" as the Red Cross float won third place in the parade. "Get Me To The Church On Time" made the band a second- pl ace winner. but the Dance Was Hot "Hold on, Stan, Kathy might get away." Queen Kathy and Stan Workman tripped down the aisle in their socks. Thusa free polish job for the custodians. 125 126 Honor Lynx Name Change and Out Honor Lynx boys were almost as well-known as girl Pep Clubbers last year as they created a series of· "firsts" for their arganization. "Honor Lynx" was changed to "Lynx Lettermen" to prevent confusion. as to the type of honorary group it was-athletic, not scholastic. Next, the lettermen produced a top-flight Boy's Booster Club, which screamed louder than all the girls, at the District basketball clash between A.L. and Tee Jay. Also Letterrpen, coaches, and sponsors of the club had a hand in the selection of the ten boys considered to be the "outstanding athletes" m eatji of A.L's ten major sports.

Standing are Chuck Francis, Stanley Carr, and Joe Hauser. SUSPENSE was the name of the game. With lastminute touchdown passes and controversial last-second field goal attempts comprising just a small percentage of the excitement, few fans departed from the field prior to the final gun. Riding on the wake of All-state halfback Kelly Comer's power-laden dashes over, under, and through the enemy defenses, the varsity squad made a good account of themselves. Although the Lynx went down to defeat in 6 out of their 8 games, 3 of these came with less than one minute showing on the clock. With Comer leading the rushing attack and offensive and Robert Anderson pulling in passes from junior quarterback Kim Sigler, a balanced offensive attack was dealt to all Metro-league rivals. A young defense led by linebacker Don Hough showed many signs of improvement, which promised experience for the "68" AL gridiron team. A new building and a completely new atmosphere seemed to create a renewed spirit in the interest and attendance of the student body which extended throughout the "67" football campaign. 129 Football Was Played on the "R.A." shifted to high gear as South defender groped for jersey. Halfback Kelly Comer led A.L's 1967 football team with a strong running attack, while the passing threat of Kim Sigler and Bob Anderson proved to be an effective combination on the field.

In a move to revise the football program at Abraham Lincoln, the sophomore standouts for the first time received experience necessary for future va rsity competition. In the past, the junior varsity squad was composed of juniors only. In conjunction with the other schools in the Metro League, the switch was completed so that sophomores encountered tougher competition. Coach Maher stated, "It may be too early to tell, but I think the graduation of the sophomores to the junior varsity will be beneficial to the complete football program at A. L." Although the results cannot be seen in the won-loss column this year, Mr. Fred Maher feels that he has fine potential in such players as: Bruce Talbott, halfback; Dean Anderson, halfback; Tim McAtee, guard; Steve Batten, center; Jeff Clark, tackle; and Bob Schuelke, tackle.

The reserve football team, composed entirely of sophomores, many of whom had never played football before this past season, finished with a 0-6-1 record. Although these boys were very hard and willing workers, their lack of experience and some key injuries never let them play up to their potential. The high point of the season came in the opening game against Omaha South. The little Lynx, after missing two scoring opportunities and stopping two South drives, settled for an 0-0 tie. After this tie was produced, some of the sophs were prorooted . to the junior varsity squad. Never fully recovering from this loss, plus the key injuries which followed, the Lynx lost the rest of their games. In many of the games they were simply outmanned .. The year of experience gained by many of the boys should help them develop into fine junior varsity and varsity performers in the ne)..i: two years. Some of the boys to watch include: David Vore, 6'6" , tackle; Dennis Sullivan, pulling guard; Casey Knudson, quarterback; and Terry Jones, halfback and linebacker. SCOREBOARD A L.

Highlights of the season included Jim Gillespie's caphiring first place in the North Invitational Tournament for the second consecutive year, and the Metro Tournament. Tim Taylor, outstanding first- year wrestler, showed great promise for the '68-' 69 season by taking first place in the South Invitational Tournament.

All SWI Doug Borman went up for "two" m the district finals. Tom Smith scored with his patented lay-up. 141 142 Coach "Chuck" Francis gave encouragement and advice! The A.L. varsity had a better season than their 13-9 record showed. Every game A.L. played was a tough battle, but this was far from the climax of the season. The stil~e tournament was still to come. In the first two games with Lewis Central and Thomas Jefferson, A.L. was the easy victor. Then came mighty Shenandoah. When the game ended, it was also the end of the year for A.L. It was not a fmitless season for the team, however. Robert Anderson won first-team honors in the Metro League, while Douglas Borman was named a member of the second team. In the Southwest Iowa rati ngs, these two players exchanged places. Tom Smith should be g iven special praise for his fine play throughout the season. His ability helped to carry A.L. through the state tournament along with the other team members. Quickness Helped the 111 Agg ressive center Tom Poo le jumped higher than his opponent for a tip-in .. "Boy, that ball is hot! " thought Tom Smith. ·Jumping Bruce Chubick snagged the rebound. Varsity Post "Quit pushing !" \varned Kelly Comer.

According to Coach Joe H auser, it was the best team he had ever coached. Behind Jim Merkuris' rebounding and Mike Cutler's shooting, the Lynx forged to an 8-6 Metro League record. Dave Vore, 6'6" sophomore, showed tremendous improvement and should be ready for varsity action in the "68-69" season. Other outstanding players included Rick Behrens, Kim Sigler, Jim Griffin, and Bruce Andersen. With the enthusiasm and skill of this J.V. team, the varsity should really go places next year-like to the State Tourney! SCOREBOARD A.L. vs. OPPONENT 71 ... ....... ..

Last year's track boys produced one of the finest seasons in the history of the A.L team. Besides breaking eight school records and two Southwest Iowa records, nine runners qualified for competition in the State meet. Individual performances, such as those by Bob Anderson, were the primary reason for A.L 's huge "cinder" success. Kelly Comer, Steve Starr, Warren Filbert, Don McCullough, and Anderson, who was considered to be the "outstanding track athlete" by Coach Fred Maher, broke and set new records in '68. McCullough established an All-Southwest Iowa record in the 880, while the TwoMile Relay team also paced to laurels in Southwest Iowa competition. Although the loss of many prime senior track men may hurt the success of A.L's track team next year, Coach Maher is quite optimistic. In fact, he's hoping his boys will give competition a real "run for its money."

Last year's baseball season was quite successful. Although the Metro was 4-7, the Iowa record was an impressive 4-1. The highlight of the season came when A.L. beat city rival T.J. 3-1 in the first game of Sectional play. From then on A.L. went all the way to State competition. In the first game of State play, A.L. was ousted by Decorah 3-0. Standouts for A.L. last year were senior pitching ace Terry Meeker, junior pitcher Steve Jenkins, junior second baseman Rick Behrens, and junior first baseman Jim Brantz. Coach Ron Holland is quite optimistic about the 68-69 season and hopes baseball will become a major sport at A.L. in the years to come. like this one against South. Ju.nior first baseman Jim Br~ntz helped the Lynx get to State with some clutch hits. Southpaw Steve Mcintosh will be missed in '68-'69. Sophomore Dennis Cooney will help a lot next year. 157 Tom Demory "aced" his way to victory. "Hey, it's my turn," shouted George Roffman as .he rushed up to assist doubles' partner, Rich Brown.

Girls' track was a riot. Everyone laughed at everyone else during practices after school and on Saturdays. But-the girls naturally went to meets. They didn't break any world records (or their necks) but no one was sorry they participated. Tragedies occurred like dropping the baton, fumbling to pick it up, breathless finishes, skinned legs, and exploding lungs. Ann Fulkerson set a record for the soft-ball throw and Kathy Batten threw a discus 75 '. This was a school record because no A.L. girls had done this before.

The final scores were A.L. 28-Westside 31 and A.L. 51 -- Westside 31. Top girls in the five events were the following: Diane Lee and Janet Ratekin on the balance be·am; Malinda Stoops and Cheryl Eschelman on the uneven parallel bars; Becky Spencer and Janet Bigley in tumbling; Rose Anne and Janet Bigley on the side horse; Becky Spencer and Rose Anne Bigley in free exercise. Uneven parallel bars were no problem to Malinda Stoops.

Most sophomores had attended the new A.L. when it was Eastside Junior High and knew the " ins and outs" of the new building better than the upperclassmen. Although they were adjusted to the new building, they were introduced to a new way of life . . . more homework ... more activities ... more responsibilities . . . and more friends. Some would have preferred going to a different building for senior high classes, but the majority believed their class to be outstanding as the first to go six years in the same new school.

Class dues of fifty cents per person were collected from each junior in order to produce a gala junior-senior prom. The inevitable chocolate sale was held ten days befo re Christmas when juniors pressurized everyone to buy their candy. A new twist was added with the addition of candied almonds and chocolate almonds and with the change of schedule from a February sale to a December drive. Juniors worked for days converting the big new gym into a romantic setting for the prom but a fun fi lled evening was the reward received for their hard work.

For the first time, each senior was allowed to keep his cap as well as the crimson and blue tassel. Because of the elimination of ROTC, there was no Military Ball, but the Prom was a big success. It was held in the new gym, also, and was earthshakrng in Southwest Iowa. Every high school in the state envied AL's juniors and seniors as they danced to the music of The American Breed. Baccalaureate with Thomas Jefferson in the new AL gym was an innovation- pleasing to neither AL or TJ seniors. Seniors graduated on Monday instead of the traditional Thursday. It was a new year from beginning to end.

Dennis Bachman received a standing ovation as Bob D ylan. 224 Cindy Wilkinson and Kathy Spencer were Petunia and Violet m a playful skit. Seniors held a dignified banquet at Indian Hills Schimmel Inn with roast beef and the trimmings. Trimmings consisted of Kathy Batten in her mod dress collecting money for the Commencement Party Combo. She did this job with a musical background provided by the "star" of the evening, Dennis Bachman. Three-hundred seniors and guests enjoyed this traditional affair. (Pictures on this page were posed later because Mr. Clarke and the camera were not synchronized!) Mr. Kenneth Kuester recited his "Words of Wisdom" to his son, Alan. Senior Party Produced Few Scares "Where's the party?!" screeched Marcia Petersen. "Who said this is a dull pa·rty ?" Breakfast was hard to swallow at 1:30 in the mornnig. Seniors held their own, annual party at their own, usual place (Elks Country Club )-just like always. They danced to blasting combo music and ate goodies 'ti! even breathing was a difficulty-just like always. The area was policed, much to the grads' chagrin, by bored .bluecoats-again, just like always. So what was the difference? Well, for one thing, unwary students and lightweight motorbikes were not dumped into the pool at the request of some devilish pranksters. And questionable beverages did not flow fast and freely. It was really a clean affair. Honestly, what will they think of next? There was plenty of food .. . .. . but some decided to remain on the dance floor. 225 226 Joint Baccalaureate With REV. HAROLD DAVENPORT First Congregational Church SERMON REV. AL VIN MOORE Bethel AME Church BENEDICTION Lorraine Albertsen and Mike Nickerson were glad to be on the way-finally! REV. CHARLES LUNKLEY Peace Church INVOCATION Seniors impatiently waited in line as they T e-e Jay Produced Many Firsts Mrs. Helen Knipping was proud of her two A.L. daughters, Karen and Becky. Jeanette Thomas enjoyed the brunch with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Thomas. worried about keeping in step. Baccalaureate was a first in several respects. It was the first in the new Council Bluffs Fieldhouse and it was the first to be combined with Thomas Jefferson High School. It was a first in topping all traffic and parking problems. At 8:20 a.rn . when approximately 6,000 people had assembled, the service began. Rev. H arold Davenport emphasized in his sermon the old slogan, "It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game." Brave and "breakfastless" spectators who stayed for the brunch were rewarded with interesting decorations, dozens of doughnuts and cookies, and gallons of coffee and milk. Folks all wonder if Baccalaureate will be combined again! Orchestra members impatiently counted the number of times they played "Pomp and Circumstance" before everyone had ma rchd in. 227 Seniors Were ~~Elated'' They Kept Senior Class President Mark Abel presented gifts to class sponsors Mrs. Martha Schmidt and Mr. Herbert Little. Lynn McQueen finally got his "hot little hands" on his diploma. Cindy Hoff and John Tiedje led the way, slowly but surely, to the gym and all of those waiting diplomas. Seniors lived for Commencement, even though they loathed marching to "Pomp and Circwnstance," for Commencement meant diplomas and the end of school-forever, to a few soon-to-be grads. After the kidding was pushed aside, however, a few seniors did admit (to themselves) that they did "sorta" enjoy wearing their caps and gowns, and that they were slightly "shook" when they moved their tassels from the right side of their caps to the leftand· peered expectantly toward the future. Leif Lahn, foreign exchange student from Norway, received his diploma from Mr. Sam Brown, his American "Dad". Tassels AND Caps! Jack Peters congratulated Bobbie Overgard as he gave her her diploma. Seniors said they had to act juvenile-just so they would feel better! (Cathy Walters was the star in this group.) The tassel ceremony merited smiles from the new grads-and a few tears from Moms and Dads. '"Wish I had one," thought Lois Streitbeck. 229 230 KATHY SPENCER: CHERYL ESHELMAN: TERRY GERARD: "Education continues throughout the lifetime of everyone." "This school is not made up of just bricks and tile ramps. It's the personality of the students." "Be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is the key to youth." CINDY MORTENSEN: "Be confident-be determined -be proud; ar:1d you will be the challenge." PAT HENNESSY: "Your old English book won't teach you when to say 'American' or 'black American.' " Symposium Warned Grads of a Challenging Future "Cha!lenge". was the . key wo~d . Commencement evening as five graduatmg seniors explamed their ideas and ideals to fellow classmates and a massive audience of about 6,000 Council Bluffs citizens. The secon.d annual stu~ent symposium was moderated by Pat Hennessy, who received a standmg ovation by the graduating students. Other speakers were Kathy Spencer, Cheryl Eshelman, Terry Gerard and Cindy Mortensen, all of whom discussed the senior class motto. Schools Superintendent Dr. Rob,ert Benton presided at the 98th A.L. Commencement, the first to be ld in the new school. Jack Peters, president of the Board of Education, presented the long-awaited goal of 13 years of study: the diploma. Dr. Robert Benton presided at Commencement exercises. "I thought I'd never get it!" thought Martha Sheil. She didn't have to worry. The Invocation gave everyone time to contemplate his future. "From the Halls of Learning, We Depart to the Road of Challenge." Commencement: Window of t.t.A Today; a Door to Tomorrow'' Who am I? What have I done? Where have I been going for the last thirteen years ?--and, more important, where will I be going in the next thirteen? And in the next? These and many more guestions flickered through the minds of the graduating seniors at Commencement. The time had come, decisions must be made, and, for many, they would be decisions shaping the rest of their lives. Although graduation was a time of happiness and joy, it also meant the ending of one life and the beginning of a new and different one. Feelings of apprehension and expectation mingled with doubt and wonder were ever-present as seniors prepared to accept the diploma and become alumni of Abraham Lincoln. After commencement, there were tears of happiness as well as sorrow as the realization of leaving old friends struck home for those seniors going away to school or joining the working world. Many would be gone for years; had these years of study and hard work prepared them for what was to come? Only the future would tell. As the light 'of the future and of a new day shone ·through the windows of hope, love, and happiness, the graduating seniors discovered the one truth of youth : that those windows of today are the doors of tomorrow and the first step toward the fuhire. 231 Students Performed "Dear Abby "If Windex won't do it, nothin' will."

English and Math - but, they'll have a tough time learning Money Management- unless you help them! When young people reach the High School age, we've found they're ready for that step from the weekly allowance to the adult way of keeping track of money ... a personal checking account. There's no better way to teach the subject! Youngsters qui~kly learn that using checks discourages impulse spendinghelps them keep better records of their expenses ... as well as providing a proof of pa:yme nt easier-to-file than receipts. Why not start your teen-ager on the adult way to money management? We make no service charge on student checking accounts, require no minimum balance ... provide the first fifty personalized checks free!

Miller speak of him as "a Christian gentleman and scholar." His pattern of life is woven around home, school, and church, creating a mathematical problem concerning time. AS A CHURCH MAN, he has taught Sunday School since he was in high school. At the · present time he is Chairman of the Board ~f Christian Education and an Elder in his church. for the last three years his amusement has come from being Cub Master with his two sons and other boys in a church pack. HE HAS GIVEN much of his time in professional circles as president of the Council Bluffs Education Association. One of the happiest moments in his life occurred when he was chairman of the salary committee and won the favor of the School Board so that all teachers in Council Bluffs received "healthy" raises. A top honor came to him when he was a delegate to the Iowa State Education Association. ALTHOUGH SWAMPED with endless activities and his regular teaching, he studied for several years at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and received his Master's degree in 1968. HIS PHILOSOPHY of education includes the belief that a community's greatest resource is the minds of its young people. Mr. Orville Miller believes success is always achieved if one can stand back and say, "I did my best." THIS CRIMSON AND BLUE is dedicated with pride to Orville K. Miller who began teaching in 1960 because "students are one of the world's greatest challenges." ..

WARREN KRUSE "Pint-sized dynamite" MRS. KITTIE KEHO "A perfect lady" MR. DAVID LINKEY "Music Man" Football! That one word could squeeze more enthusiasm out of head coach, W arren Kruse, than could <l funny joke or a pretty g irl. Regarded as a real pal by his boys, Coach Kruse's constant flow of rare wit, dogged determination, and frightening flashes of hot temper won for him, twice, the honor of being named "Coach of the Week"-a hard earned achievement, which made A.L. kids, as \Veil as Buddy beam. Oh! By the way- A.1. government students say Mr. Kruse was a popular instructor, too. Quick with praise, tended with criticism, continuous with warmth , knowledge and sincerity . . . those were the characteristics of junior English teacher, Mrs. Kitti e Keho. A dedicated instructor, Miss Keho led her students, ncluding an Honors class, through the mag ical years of early American Literatureuntil her 7oth year. Courtesy Club girls, impressed by their sponsor's southern charm and grace, tried to emulate her in many ways. A.1. students loved Mrs. Keho- a woman who was always the perfect lady. He could be seen flailing his arms at his soprnnos, or prodding a shy baritone, or gl aring at impetuous study hall 111- truders, o r laughing with anyone who tended to amuse him. Such was the school life of David Linkey. Choristers were often loaned for public events which produced many unwelcome deadlines for the instructor. But beneath the tension Mr. Linkey's " easy-going ness' shone: through, and relaxation squelched the "hurry." Mr. Linkey was way ahead of his students- he could sing as well as his "All-Staters." Industrial arts teacher, Maurice Glenn, taught his shop boys to economize primarily because his own family m<lcle economy necessa ry . As the father of nine children, Mr. Gl enn found it less expensive to do his own household handiwork. Perhaps those nine kids made Mr. Glenn feel more at ease with his students, for he was a sincere, and sometime disciplinary, confidante of the students involved. Shop boys admired Mr. Glenn's fatherly man-to-man attitude-a homespun philosophy of life. He could g rm impishly and plot elaborate practical jokes with ease, but when Geometry intervened, Mr. Fred Maher was all business. Students like the interest and sincere appraisals given by their instructor as they struggled with ~athem ti ca l "toughies." His track boys were g iven an extra push at their meets through encouragement even when their lungs were bursting. Mr. Maher enjoyed what he was doing, so projects he tackled, whether practical jokes or sheer concentration, made life much more worthwhile to his students. ··A fa ther at home aml at sd wo l" "' lvfon lust in space" II 12 Mrs. Juanita Eschmann is "very definitely" an asset to the education of sophomores as she trains them to study and follow direction. She presents a lively analysis of past history and ties it to current events in a practical way. She is exacting in her assignments, but most fair with students who can't "get" history but try hard . D iscipline in her classes is exemplary and much appreciated by student;; who like "old-fashioned" conduct in school. Having traveled quite widely, Mrs. Eschmann is able to inject personal experience into textbook knowledge. Students and faculty alike respect and appreciate her cooperative spirit. MRS. JUANITA ESCHMANN Mrs. l\!ae Maher g ri ns at her tricky friend. l\!iss Huck. ''I'll show you my battle scars," offered Mrs. Juanita Eschmann. "A school office is much more interesting than an insurance office," says Mrs. Mae Maher, "because it's so much fun watching young people develop." Mrs. Maher speaks with experience. For 15 years she has served three principals and thousands of students at Abraham Lincoln as Personnel Secretary. Things get done quickly and accurately because Mrs. Maher rules with a firm hand, but being of a friendly nature, both students and teachers find her helpful and understanding. In fact, she has smoothed many a ruffled feather of faculty members. "There is never a dull moment," remarked Mrs. Maher. "The mysteries of machines and young people are my life." l\IRS. l\fAE l\IAH ER "' English Literature comes alive in Miss Bianca McComb's senior classes. One gets the feeling that she is always looking to the future-college. Exacting assignments plus analytical discussions make her English courses a good basis for freshman English in any college. Enthusiasm and sincerity are highlights of her personality evidenced in her teaching. The warmth of her friendliness makes her the ideal sponsor of the Courtesy Club. Girls who receive a bid to this service organization count it as an honor and joy to serve under Miss McComb. As an instructor in the Council Bluffs School System for some 40 years, Miss McComb has made an immeasurable contribution to students in this area. Serving young people and others has been Miss McComb's philosophy of life. "Smile-you're on Candid Camera! Miss McComb." MISS BIANCA McCOMB "What? Another torn page?" groaned Miss Luck Miller. MISS LUCY MILLER Miss Lucy Miller, the A.L. school librarian, has no question in her mind as to "where the action is." After spending twenty-six years supervising a rapidly growing library, she knows the "ins and outs" of this highly personalized operation. She keeps "her" facility running at maximum capacity with a cooperative and pleasant spirit and when necessary-a little firmness. Although there is constantly a "happening" in the library, Miss Miller still remains cool and attractive-just like her new surroundings. Providing a service necessary in any modern high school, such as an active and efficient research center, is Miss Miller's contribution to the student body and school. 13 - ----- ••• • • • • • ••• e •• e •• • • • • • • • ••• ,,, 15 Anne Campbell, Kristy Fairbairn, Judy Lee, and Anne Shockey HL\PPIN~ WAG ''HAPPENING 'bS'' Spirit Week ...

"Happening '68," half-time activities, began with the performance of the Pompon Girls accompanied by the band. Kathy Batten, last year's queen, led the contestants and their escorts to the field where Becky Spencer was crowned Homecoming Queen. Although the final score was in Central's favor, 14-7, excitement was high. The Fay Hogan Experiment played at the Homecoming Dance, which s attended by 300 students and alumni.

A score of victory was underwritten by a full house and loud applause. Rollicking laughter was created by the ten candidates and the acts which they created with a fifteen-minute warning. All students present at the pageant voted for Mr. and Miss ALHS while everybody-including the adults in attendance-voted for Mr. and Miss Orig inality. This was a new idea which met with much enthusiasm. Stuart Smith and Sue Cairney as the newlyweds presented a one-act play "Here We Are" which was an audience-pleaser. Other outstanding acts included Val Thorson who presented a mini ature recital and Byron Jones and H arry Arthur in a brass duet with Greg Richardson as a drummer.

Each of the following days held a new event. Tuesday a pie-eating contest for the male royalty candidates "happened" in the cafeteria after school. Everyone attending the free-for-all agreed it really was a "happening!" Wednesday some bold students ventured to bring their own baby pictures to enter the "Ugly Baby Contest." Winners were JUNIOR PRINCESS ROSALIE JACKS JUNIOR PRINCE KEN JOHNSEN announced at the TWIRP Dance Friday-Pat Willers could tell you what a thrill that was! Thursday the final s_ecret balloting for King, Queen, Princes, and Princesses was held in homeroom. And finally Friday-the big TWIRP dance! The announcement of Anne Shockey and Larry Stroud as Queen and King, Rosalie Jacks and Ken Johnsen as Junior Princess and Prince, and Bette Anderson and Kevin Sigler as Sophomore Princess and Prince surprised and delighted all.

SOPHOMORE PRINCESS BETTE ANDERSON SOPHOMORE PRINCE KEVIN SIGLER 41 42 "My Three Angels," the first all-school play of the year, really "rang the chimes" of the audience! The set was a fabulous layout of walls, doors, ladders, gates, trees, bushes, plants, chairs, tables, straw, and even beads! This set the stage for the actors, wl:io brought the play to life! The three angels, played by Stuart Smith, David Smith, and Ben Bowen, proved themselves to be true servants and friends of the Ducote! family as they plotted, schemed, and even killed to make ends meet ! In presenting a story of side-splitting situations and cutting remarks, the members of the cast enjoyed the hard work that made "M3A" a huge success! "I don't use new Ban anti-perspirant deodorant and ... " "Now I lay me down to sleep .. . " "and furthermore ... " "Boyfriend, eh ' " "Antigone," the second all-school play, was a change of pace for the A.L "players." It was a modern .. production based on the Greek version written by Sophocles. All members of the cast and crew really "broke their le.gs" for this exciting production and in doing· so, did a fabulous job. Pat Young "acted well her part" as she carried the role of the serious Antigone, and Brandt Webb portrayed the rational and persuasive King Creon. Director Kenneth Steine did an excellent job of stylizing the drama in a unified manner with effective music, lighting, make-up, and costumes. In producing a play of this caliber and difficulty, Kenneth Steine has brought true drama back to A.L. "I'vly but you have smelly fee t . . . " 43 44 ~ - Knlst..J Fo.Vr.bolltMI ~ - Bwtl!I Clwll~ L After crossing a drawbridge into the Land of Camelot, juniors and seniors and their guests had a fabulous evening with "The Fabulous Flippers." Many, many hours had been spent by the juniors and their sponsors in decorating and dividing the Council Bluffs Fieldhouse into the rooms of the Castle of Camelot. Everyone enjoyed the drawing room, dungeon, bedroom, chapel, science laboratory, and art studio. Promptly at 9:45 p.m Dennis Sullivan, junior class president, took a "Flipper". mike and emm1erated the activities of each member of the Court of Camelot. Climaxing the evening's acti~ities was the crowning of Kristy Fairbairn and Bruce Chubick as King and Queen of Camelot. It can be said most honestly that this prom was a fitting climax of the A.L. careers of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip N elson, junior class sponsors. It will be a long time before sponsors of this quality will be found again. The waterfall proved to be a refreshing sight after the harrowing experience of dancing to the Flippers! Junior Class officers and their dates " sparkled" m the surroundings they helped to create. 45 46 I r ....._ "Did you see her outfit?" Anxiously awaiting the big moment were Marcia Robnett, Steve Marsh, Chubick, Diane Elgan, Tom Meade, Barbara Carroll, and Craig Wymer. .. Diane Elgan and Dan Claar enjoyed the SC1ence laboratory. Christy McLaughlin got "hung up" in the dun- "Aw, shucks, they said this punch would be spiked!'" Stephanie Zieman, A.L's foreign exchange student, enjoyed the " fine arts" of the Prom. L Excitement reigned supreme as Kim Sigler, Judy Lee, Dave Richards, Anne Shockey, Jim Brantz, Gayla H ansen, Kim McKeown, Jack Dahlke, and Kristy Fairbairn waited for the final announcement with other members of the Court. It was doubtful that John and Gail had any time for reading! ( ? ? ) ' Going to church regularly is okay, but this was ridiculous! Just enough time to catch a breath of air. I The Flippers "grooved" on the A.L. scene. 47 48 "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen!" Both faculty members and students were thrilled by the performance of the many talented people who visited Abraham Lincoln last year. The favorite of the year was a panel of convicts from the Nebraska State Penitentiary. Three men reached everyone with their descriptions of their lives in crime and Stripes should go up and down, not around. their message that "Crime Doesn't Pay." Another highlight was a trip down the Amazon with a Scottish guide by way of a movie. The most discussed program was one concerning ESP. Other assemblies included a worldfamous gymnast, and a folk singer. Jim, Art, and Dan related their experiences with crime to strengthen their theme "Crime Doesn't Pay." Mr. Orville Miller set out on a long wal k. Dedication Assembly was held in December, 1968. Barbara Clark, Editor-in-Chief of the Crimson and Blue shocked Mr. Orville Miller with her dedication speech. In fact, Mr. Miller was pale and speechless but the student body brought him back to reality with its applause. Miss Lucy Miller received a corsage from Miss Erva Huckleberry. Four pleasantly surprised ladies were Miss Bianca McComb, Miss Lucy Miller, Mrs. Mae Maher and Mrs. Juanita Eschmann. Because other faculty members were worthy of special recognition, the Crimson and Blue Staff created four Service Awards. Kristy Fairbairn and Diana Butterbaugh, co-editors, honored Miss Bianca McComb, Mrs. Juanita Eschmann, Miss Lucy Miller and Mrs. Mae Maher with these new awards. Mrs. Juan ita Eschmann held everybody's attention as usual. 49 51 • DIANA BUTfERWAUGJi. KRIS! ~ N ASSOCIATE EDITOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR LINDA MAUER CLAUDIA HALL I . BUSINESS MANAGER 52 -b.

As M rs. Jackson said, "The ad money matches my hair-always in the red." Many difficulties were encountered during the year due to the fact that the complete staff did not have an assigned period during the day. Panic meetings-paper airplanes-"The Mystery of the Missing Polaroid" and I'll give you E's for this newspaper"-typified each interval between issues. However, between Mrs. Sonja Jackson, red-headed Gail Krasne and "bossy" Gary Emenitove, many good issues were produced which stimulated student thinking and informed the faculty and the community.

Two good examples of effective readings were "The Law of No Supply and Desperate Demand," by Jeannine Bauman and "The Silence That Was Lacking," by Monica Moe. At these meetings, guest critics added their comments to those offered by the members of the club. In cooperation with the Lynx Artists, the clu1' tried an innovation. Writings by various members were selected and then illustrated by the artists. The writings and art works were then displayed in a showcase. Other activities of the club included the ever-popular bake sale, a potluck at the home of the club sponsor, and the annual spring picnic in Fairmont Park. A friendly group of "dubbers" mulled over the merits of a prospecti,·e member's essay. Vickie Larsen, a first-year senior member, en tertained members and critic alike w ith a stirring poem.

Besides supporting the traditional Student Council activities such as the magazine sales, a Christmas tree, and the Teen Queen Pageant, last year's Student Council, under President Shockey's watchful eye, instigated many new facets of Student Council work. President Shockey and Mr. Thurman Johnson decided to make a real campaign out of the annual school elections. Jn order to become a Student Council representative, one had to have a signed petition from his homeroom and make a speech on election day. Committees were formed to carry out the many functions of the Student Council. The Student Council also sponsored a fireworks display at the homecoming bonfire.

EspecialJy fine evenings were spent with Hilder Geisle.dau~h ter of Iceland, Hans Schlegel of Germany and Stephame Ziemann of Rhodesia. One informative meeting featured Mr. Walter Gerard who answered all types of questions about A.F.S. A.F.S. sponsored the Trio El Romantico.

She was easily recognizable by her pleasant outlook, British accent, warm smile, and short skirts. 79 "Give me a B . .. " "Breathe if you can, you Benson Bunny." RALU~ AND BO~ ''BOOC'fER;-ED'' "Blow in our ears and we'll follow you anywhere !" "Whoo!" 80 Students learned that Pep Rallies were fun! There seemed to be competition between the Boys' Booster Club, Girls' Pep Club, the Cheerleaders, Pompon Girls and the football players to present the funniest skit before the student body. Car rallies with decorated cars were an innovation which proved to be a horn-honking success. School spirit was high among all who participated in "pep" events. The most thrilling display of school spirit occurred when A.L. beat T.J. in the basketball tournament. Cars were decorated in the A.L. parking lot before a car rally during footbilll Tom Meade thought Dave Kiefer had sexy legs. 81 82 ROW 1: Marcy Hunt.

CJ-IEERL EAD~ CRE,AJED RJNNY "Unidentified flying cheerleader" followed the football players all the way. It wasn't unusual to see a sophomore cheerleader up in the air. Most of the girls learned acrobatics and stunts which were used at the end of cheers. The amazing thing was how they made it look so easy! Their spirit was carried to all the major sports events even though their responsibilities were limited. Junior varsity cheerleaders returned from summer vacation with a load of confidence. While attending a Firebird Cheerleading Camp at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, they won three first-place ribbons and one second-place ribbon. This squad aided the varsity cheerleaders in pep assemblies and at some of the varsity games. A.L. students are looking forward to another year of cheers when the sophomores are promoted. Sally Spetman and Diana White were very familiar with "the birds and the bees." Linda Currie, Sally Spelman and Steve Ann Chambers cheered the J.V. football team through a sad.season.

"To try out" or "not to try out" for the new Pompon Squad was the question. Many presented a pompon routine for the faculty judges but only eighteen were chosen. These girls wore short-short skirts and entertained spectators at the games with their clever routines. As one member remarked, "Between short or short-short skirts and on-again, off-again sponsors, we had one difficult beginning!" Beat T.]. or "Bust.'" Denny Olson '"tip-toed through the tulips.""

Kim Sigler made the dive O\'er the Ryan tack lers. A.L. set for the charge against T.J. The A.L. 1968 football season opened under two new coaches: Mr. Norris (Scooter) Haie from Plattsmouth, ·Nebraska, and his assistant, Mr. Doug Korver. As the scoreboard indicates, they received a rude Metro greeting, but there are some things the scoreboard doesn't show. Coach Hale brought with him a style of football contrary to the "four yards and a cloud of dust" theory of previous A.L. years, as he introduced more intricate formations with the emphasis on passing. With sophomore quarterback Kevin Sigler leading the attack, A.L. managed to lead the Metro in total yards passing in '68. Having to adjust to this new kind of football, A.L. had early season difficulties with getting the right personnel in the right position. Adjusting to this obstacle, A.L. was then faced with the age-old problem of injuries. Many key players were hampered by petty injuries which either kept them out of action or limited their effectiveness. A.L. played good football between the thirty-yardlines but was unable to either come up with or stop the big play. Coach Hale praised the efforts of seniors George Kellogg, Craig Wymer, Brian Clodfelder, Jim Brantz, and Rick Behrens. All turned in good performances despite injuries. The future season looks brighter as such outstanding juniors as Jeff Clark, Dean Anderson, Steve Batten, John Peters, Dennis Sullivan, and sophomores Kevin Sigler and Pat Batten turned in admirable performances in the '68 season.

Outstanding first-year wrestler award went to Bill Southard (95#), who carried A.L's colors to the district match at Fort Dodge. Joe Brown came up with the most pins for the season. Losses outnumbered wins for the season but all boys who participated benefitted personally. "I bet my head is harder than yours is," thought Joe Brown.

Lynx "cindermen" had a disappointing season in 1968-1969. Finishing even in duos, the usually strong A.L track team only went as high as second place in nine sanctioned meets. The highlight of the year came when A.L's two-miler Joe Ranney went to the state track meet in Boone, Iowa. The results? Ranney got third place in the two-mile run with a time of 9:55.ii, which established a new school record. Coleman took fifth in the long jump with a leap of 21' 4V2''. With only seven seniors leaving and over thirty underclassmen returning, the future of A.L's '69-'70 track team is very bright. Top point-getter junior Ed Berry hurdled his way to victory many times last year. 109 110 Senior slugger Jim Brantz provided hitting power for the team.

One of the highlights was the reviving of an election campaign of a past president. Seniors were once again confronted with the problems of income taxes in Moderd Problems classes. Sample forms were supplied by the Internal Revenue Service, and completed by the students under the supervision of experienced teachers.

A new idea, presented by Miss Lucy Miller this year, was to divide the library into two sections: one for study, and one strictly for pleasure reading. This division caused each section to be used to capacity and produced •the right atmosphere. The library lost three conference rooms to the TEEM project and to Iowa Western Community College during 1968-1969. It seemed like "co llege" when you "studied" in the library. MRS.

BARBARA JOHNSON B.S.-Western Illinois University Homemaking RAMONA REA B.S.-South Dakota State University Homemaking SPONSOR: FHA SPONSOR: FHA Three teachers instead of the usual two was one of the giany changes in the Homemaking Department. Laboratory period, made possible by the eight-period day, was also new. Homemaking I and II, which is a beginning foods course, was added to the curriculum. Students in this course made breakfast, lunch, and dinner and also refreshments for parties. Foreign meals were prepared and served to guests by the Homemaking III and IV classes. They also made clothing to match their personalities. In the family-living classes, girls worked on their future SPONSOR: FHA, Sophomore Class careers and on problems of the employed "young woman." Of course, there was the usual marriage preparation from the pre-engagement period to the wedding reception. A very active class was the interior decorating class. One field trip enabled the members of the class to see different styles of house designs. Another project was to plant flowers in the gymnasium court. Some girls made model houses, matching drapes and carpets. It was a great year of progress in the Homemaking Department. "This is really silly. My mother uses mixes you can't tell the difference," thought O 'Neal as she helped Jenny Kerns.

This old adage was put to use in the Business Department by the secreta rial students under Mrs. Mary Anderson and Mrs. Gloria Sinnett. These two teachers thought that if a g irl w;1s to become an effective secretary, she should start doing the work of one. Therefore, they decided to forin a system whereby their more accomplished students were assig ned to work for various teachers. These students were to do any secretarial jobs which their "bosses" asked them to do, such as typing tests and taking business dictation. Also, the students taking business machines received valuable tra ining on many types of machines. According to Tom Hines, student teacher, "The business machines equipment at A.1. is far supe rior to that in some colleges." With this advanced training in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping and business machines, A.L. students should have no trouble in finding a job. IRS.

Sophomores learned that "age comes before beauty" when, due to their late birthdays, they were deni ed entry to the course. Fortunate students who were admitted lea rned that as "the beat went on," Driver Education did too. As usual, students were required to have a certain number of hours in the classroom, on the road, and in the simulator. In ;iddition, extra reports were given and scrapbooks containing the causes of automobi le accidents· were made. Driver Education \.Vas a popular course, but students and teachers agreed that it was no small job to earn a driver's license. llRE TRACTION aM SAFE DRIVING "I don't know where I'm going but I've got my seat belt on," Joe Beam thought to himself. l'"f!CHAEL FORBES B.S.- Nnrthwest Missouri State Driver Educ:ttion GARY E.

Such freed om was a shock to most seniors. Some seniors studied ( ?) in the lounge; other scholarly seniors studied in the library. Then there were those who "played." A dampener was put on open campus for "playing" seniors by faculty patrol of the parking lot. It seemed like seniors held the record for holding senior meetings- for better or for worse. They also held the record for taking five subjects during the 8-period day. Other pleasant memori es included the Junior-Senior Prom, Bacca laureate and Commencement AND the senior party!

A memory of the morning was boarding some 15 buses at Kirn Junior Hi for the trip to A.L. This arrangement was a solution to the traffic problemand it worked! Services were combined with T.J. with instru- - mental music furnished by T.J. and vocal music by A.L. Rev. Henry Coulter, president of the Ministerial Association presented the sermon. Mrs. Betty Lee and her daughters, Judy and Patti, formed only one of many family groups before the services. ( Seniors had fun milling around under the balcony after "debussing." It was a morning of meditation for all members of the Class of 1969 as they heard the message: "Knowledge and Truth Lead to Fulfillment." ) 199 Prin c ipal Ken n eth Kue~ r_ reminded the seni ors: " R e m ember th is your lifet ime t hrough, T o m o rrow, t h ere will be more to do, And failure waits for those who stay Wi th so me success made ye sterday. Tom orrow, you must try once more, And eYen harder than b efore. Board members l a u g hed at their watches! 1969 "Through education we attain understanding Through understanding we · can achieve peace." Vicki Larsen, Patti Osborn, Sue Cairney, Steve Pike -and John Sherbondy presented a symposium based on the senior class motto. Commencement started 20 minutes late due to the incoming crowd of 6,000 spectators for A.L's 99th Commencement. It was a hot evening especially near the rafters but the speeches were snappy and to the point. Patti Osborn, author of the motto, was moderator of the symposium. She introduced four classmates who analyzed the motto as follows: VICKI LARSEN: "Quench your thirst with education. Education is needed through the world to bring understanding, and it, in turn, will bring peace. " Mrs. Berniece Ross and Mr. Mike Freeman received a senior "thank you" gift from Jack Dahlke, Class President. Larry Stroud must still be on the "shores of learning." SUE CAIRNEY: "What we have learned up until now will determine our future. The time has come to set sail from the shores of learning and launch forth into the sea of the future. " JOHN SHERBONDY: "Peace is like an unwanted child. Peace grows slowly and suffers hindrances. Peace cries out for understanding." STEVE PIKE: "Peace and understanding depend upon each other. I speak of peace of mind. This peace will overflow into all humanity. Peace flourishes where there is understanding." "But Darryl, y9u know I can't fast dance." "Ain't I cute?" 202 "Rolaids-Pure NaHC03" "Man, I could sure use some NaHC03 right now!(??)" ''Oh, Roy, I already know that!" "Bob, what would I ever do without you?" 203 ~ Like the sign says, "Send ttetp ! The peanut gallery ! "Back, Craig, back!" "Let me go !" 204 "My physics book and me . .. 'til death us do part." "Gasp, cough, sputter ... I'm fading fast! " "Oh, goody, goody, goody! You mean we finally won a game?" "Flight 707 requesting permission to land." Ooo, boy, get a load of those legs ! 205 ''PLAYED'' ATTJ-1~ PARlY Some were too lazy to play. 206 Maryanne Pettigrew and her mother were hostesses at breakfast after Baccalaureate. ./ "No chairs?" 207 208 It was a surprised and "teary-eyed" Woody Clarke who received an AM-FM radio from the Yearbook Staff on Honor Day. After presenting the Dr. Erickson-Hill Award, Miss Erva Huckleberry "pulled a fast one." She enumerated all the hours Mr. Clarke had spent in the darkrooms for the Yearbook and the Echoes. She quipped that he had missed many an evening meal. And she joked about the fact that his wife never knew when he was coming home. The whole event was too much for Mr. Clarke. He ran to the bleachers to check his camera. .· , ', -- "Woody" dressed up for picture day. I j - Mr. Woody Clarke specialized in Biology and photography.

Council Bluffs · Iowa PROGRESS PRINCIPALS 2 Since the turn of the century, Abraham Lincoln High School has had nine principals, five of whom are still living. Many townspeople will remember Mr. Gerald Kirn, Mr. John Steinbaugh, Mr. Theron Stuelke, Mr. William Owen, and the present principal, Mr. Kenneth Kuester. Each one brought his ideas, his enthusiasm, and his determination to make Abraham Lincoln one of the best high schools in the State of Iowa. Furthermore, each one brought his love for youth and a desire to mold the leaders of the future. MR. GERALD KIRN 1919-1946 MR . JOHN STEINBAUGH 1946-1948 GERALD KIRN At present retired from a busy I ife of sel I ing insurance, Mr. Kirn is greeted daily on the streets of Council Bluffs by his former students. His main contribution -besides firm and forward leadership-was the bringing of culture and the love of the arts to A.L. His philosophy is that each person in this country is born with certain qualifications which education refines into an upstanding life. As he says, "Education is the best investment a young person can make." JOHN STEINBAUGH A graduate of Abraham Lin.coin Hi9h School, Mr Steinbaugh 1s now Professo~ of Philosophy at Aroostock State College of Maine He came to A.L. from Columbia Universi~y with the most adva.nced . ideas of education He bel 1eved that students should progress at their own speed and he introduced core curriCl~IUf!1. Young people were his life and he majored in stimulating their thinking He will be remembered a~ A.L.'s youngest principal with "freedom" ideas of education. MR. THERON STU ELKE 1948-1958 MR. WILLIAM OWEN 1958-1967 THERONSTUELKE Currently an Investment Consultant, Mr. Stuelke served as Assistant Principal to Mr. Steinbaugh, thus being promoted to the principalship when Mr. Steinbaugh resigned. He introduced many new courses at A. L. and began the Adult Education program in the city. Also, his cumulative record folder was adopted by the school system . His philosophy for the Class of 1970 is this : "You are graduating from the greatest high school in the world in the greatest country in the world and are the best prepared class to meet the future." WILLIAM OWEN For nine years, Mr. Owen directed activities at A.L. He came from northern Iowa and has since returned to McGregor, Iowa, -.yhere he is now principal of the high school. His outstanding contribution while at A.L. was computerized scheduling . He has fond memories of working with dedicated teachers, a loyal student body, and fine townspeople. His philosophy for the Centennial Class is "God, First-Others, Second-Myself, Last." MR. KENNETH KUESTER 1967 KENNETH KUESTER When Abraham Lincoln High School moved to 1205 Bonham Avenue, it acquired a new princi- pal, Mr. Kenneth Kuester, who came from Benson High in Omaha. Mr. Kuester' s special goal is to develop a curriculum w hich most nearly meets the needs of all the students. His three years of memories include his first day at the new A. L., a student sit-down in the gym, a certain senior banquet, a year's struggle with an eightperiod day, the senior lounge short hair or long hair, and legal~ ized culottes. "You can make something of yourself of which your family and school can be justly proud," is his philosophy to the Class of 1970. · 3 4 PR OGRESS REBUILDING Most people in Council Bluffs think of two high schools when Abraham Lincoln is mentioned: A. L. on Bluff Street and A.L. on Bennett Avenue. That isn't all! Most folks do not know that the first high school in Council Bluffs was organized in 1868. ft was located on Pierce Street between Franklin and Union. In 1868, high school students went to school in the old Washington School located on Scott Street. quring that time a high school was built on the present-day Kirn Field. As the years rolled on and the enrollment grew, high school classes were moved to Bloomer Schoof. In 1880, another change took the students to the new Washington Avenue building. Another transfer was made to the school on Bluff Street in 1900. In 1913, a twelve-room annex was built so as to accommodate eight-hundred students in the school. In 1923, the Council Bluffs High School on Bluff Street was renamed Abraham Lincoln. A gymnasium, which housed band rooms also, was completed in 1926. Due to the continued growth of Council Bluffs a new high school building was approved by the citizens and the first phase was opened in 196 l. Many of the Class of '70 have gone six years straight beginning with the seventh grade. When the new A. L. was opened as a senior high school the old A.L. was renamed Kirn Junior High after G. W. Kirn, a long-time principal of the old Abraham Lincoln . Students who have gone to the school would never know it today with its white halls and the auditorium as the I ibrary. This metamorphosis has proven that the past century has been one of rebuilding . --·---- - 5 6 ORGANIZATIONS Fun-masquerades-potlucks-picnicsfield trips-initiationsall of these made Abraham Lincoln's organizations whirl in a fun world each month of the Centennial Year. Some of the older organizations died-usually something dies after a hundred years-but others have been created to meet the new interests and demands of a rapidly changing student life. Today's teens may choose from a variety of new organizations. Outstanding among these are A.F .S., F.T.A., German Club, a new Drama-Thespian Chapter, F .H.A., and Lynx Artists. Service organizations, including Service Overseas and Y-Teens, have earned a place of recognition in a "Cold War" atmosphere. With the move in 1967, A. L. became a 3:05 bus school. This dampened club activities after school, but potluck and after-dinner meetings became very popular. Organizations create an educational, informative society for today's young, vibrant citizens. PROGRESS 7 a II GRADUATION· Graduating classes at Abraham Lincoln have grown from four in the Class of 1870, to four hundred and thirty-five in the Class of 1970. Townspeople will remember that for years girl graduates wore long white dresses and carried a dozen red roses; the boys wore dark suits. Graduation was held in the City Auditorium and scores of people stood on the Washington School playground to see the seniors march across the street to the exercises. The auditorium continually filled to capacity, and special extensions had to be built on to the stage to accommodate the growing classes. In later years, ceremonies were held on Kirn Field-if weather permitted! Mr. Theron Stuelke upset many seniors by requiring caps and gowns at graduation ceremonies. The transition was decisive. Now, girls wear white caps and gowns, and the boys wear blue. PR OG RES 1970 was a year to remember old traditions, and a time to start new ones. It was a graduating class filled with enthusiasm, spirit, and cooperation. In 1970, members of the senior class were a solid core for all of the year's many acti vitiesboth academic and extra-curri cul ar. It was, in short, the year of the Centennial. Crimson and Blue 1970 is dedicated to the members of the lOOth Graduating Class ! 9 10 RESOURC.ES Abraham Lincoln High School has seen a continual change in the resources from which the students and the teachers alike draw to get the best education possible. From the basic "read in', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic," the curriculum has been expanded to include such "now" subjects as psychology, calculus and drivers' education. Courses now emphasize study in depth of basic concepts rather than relying primarily on memorization. Little did the schoolmasters of a century ago dream that their standard slates and chalk would later be supplemented with overhead projectors, electric typewriters, and a host of audio-visual aids. Learning, besides becoming much more extensive, has become interesting and "tuned in" to the current times. Through the evolution of a challenging curriculum, combined with advanced methods of presenting the subject matter, education at Abraham Lincoln has been enlivened during the last century. Although the result-knowledgemay be the same, the resources used to achieve this result have been updated to keep pace with the times.

F'ROGRESS 11 12 ENTERTAINMENT School functions have contributed to the "whirl of entertainment" in Council Bluffs for the last century. Movies, T .V. and cars have taken their tol I of gate receipts, but parents and students are still attracted to school plays, road shows, operettas, and concerts. Maypole dances and gym pageants have died out (for which girls were most thankful) but the spring prom and its· king and queen were a glamorous replacement. - -- 13 14 SUCCESS Success stories are written daily by the accomplishments of Abraham Lincoln students. Lawyers, doctors, ministers, engineers, teachers, businessmen and many, many other "good, honest, solid citizens" have been produced by the teachers and administrators of Abraham Lincoln High School down through the century. This year, the Crimson and Blue is pleased to honor Mrs. Mary Anderson, Mrs. Marjorie Sheely, Mr. Seth Hills and Mr. Kenneth Steine with its "SERVICE AWARDS." MRS.

Among the faculty there are always those instructors who leave an indelible impression on their students. Time and circumstances cause instructors to move on, but yet they are remembered by the students who respected them and who thought of them as "tun" individuals. Such instructors were Mr. & Mrs. Phillip Nelson, Miss Mary Jo Dugan and Mr. Charles Francis. 1 5 PROGRESSPROGRESSP~~ 16 SPORTS Even though the origin of athletics has been hidden by the dark of time, the basis for exciting competition still remains clear. Many changes in athletics have taken place during the last century at Abraham Lincoln High School. Gone from the scene are the bicycle races, the hammer throws, and the Girls' Athletic Associations. These and other events have given way to such modern cha I lenges as girls' gymnastics, intramural sports, golf, tennis, and daily classes for physical education. Of course, football and basketball, classic favorites, are still popular with spectators as well as participants. Sports have undergone one-hundred years of change, but the teamwork, spirit, cooperation, and desire to win will be with the world for centuries to come. ,: '1\i HOMECOMING QUEEN-STEVE ANN CHAMBERS HOMECOMING COURT Sally Spetman, Barbara O' Bri en, Queen Steve Ann Chambers, Ramona Hunter, and Brenda Klefman . 17 18 ORGANIZATIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION . ... ... 1-17 ORGANIZATIONS ..... 18-55 ACTIVITIES .. ....... 56-91 ACADEMICS .. .. ... 92-113 SPORTS .....

This increased membership did much to liven up the money-making activities A.F.S. members used to finance another exchange student for Abraham Lincoln next year. Included in the money-making schemes of AFS'ers was a faculty basketball game. A. F .S. did have activities besides making money, however. Entertainment and enlightenment were provided at meetings by T.J. 's exchange student, Miriam Donaire of Bolivia; Lewis Central ' s exchange student, Eden Carruthers of Great Britain; and A.L. ' s exchange student, Bollie Pavlovich of Yugoslavia. Abraham Lincoln's A.F.S. chapter also boasted another first. Two of its members were accepted as Americans Abroad students . John Leed was chosen to spend the summer of 1969 in Santo Domingo, Dom inican Republic, and Cheryl Marsh spent six weeks in Qu ito, Ecuador that same summer. 21 22 Bollie becomes Eilers1 fifth son Mr. & Mrs. Charles Eilers, parents of four sons including Dave and Jim of A.L., added one more son for the '69-'70 school year. Bosko Pavlovich, known as "Bollie" or "Lee," exchange student from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, learned about American customs from the Eilers boys. His Yugoslavian congeniality and habits were entertaining and informative, while his skill in ping pong and soccer left his victims deflated. In his words : "School is easier here, but parents are easier back home. The standard of living is higher here than at home, and as for the American girls-I like them." This lanky youth, with the Eastern European accent, won a place in the hearts of the A. L. student body and faculty. "They both need haircuts," thinks Bollie Pavlovich as he shares a social evening with other AFS'ers. Bollie shows his faith in a Lynx football victory.

International Week is ioint effort of four clubs Getting the people in one club to work is difficult -so getting the people of four clubs to work together would be impossible. Right? No, wrong! Members of A.F .S., French Club, German Club, and Spanish Club did just that. They worked together to promote goodwill by initiating International Week. Each morning of April 6-10, a greeting was given in the language of the respective organizations over the intercom. Decorations of flags, posters, and displays emphasized the theme of the week. Even the cooks got into the act by serving one of their famous international meals for lunch. The highlight of the week was the international potluck where the German Club presented .a skit, the French Club sponsored a "Tour de France" on tricycles, the Spanish Club led a "sing-a-long," and A. F .S. challenged the other clubs to a soccer game.

As' the French classes grew in size, so did the French Club! In fact, membership nearly doubled in the second y~a_r. of this organization' s I ife. Increased act1v1t1es were a result of the club's expanded population. For the first time, French Club members undertook the ambitious project of constructing one of the six floats for the Homecoming Parade. Celebrating sever a I French and American holidays w ith potluck dinner s was also a part of the club' s agenda. Aga in this year, French Club initiated A.L.'s International Week. Besides providing ideas f or events during the week, Frenchmen were fierce competitors during the evening of international fun. The annual spr ing banquet climaxed a year of participation for eager French Club members. OFFICERS PRESIDENT .. Paula Sulhoff, Rick Jor anson VICE-PR ESIDE NT . .

Jennifer Bledsoe SPONSOR Mrs. Helen Starks Girls in the first graduating class had a very limited choice of vocations. Most would become wives and mothers, and a few would become teachers. Today however, opportunities have increased drastically. Hundreds of ~ields are open to women today, and one of the most important of these is the medical profession. Medical Arts Club gave the girls in its membership an opportuni.t~ to meet and learn together about the field of med1c1~e. Informal lectures by professional people, and field trips t? hospitals and laboratories provided valuable learning experiences. Looking up nursing schools are Mary Hickey and Jennifer Bledsoe. "Your blood count is low. Have you tried Vivarin?" quips Carol Boyd to JoAnn Dryden.

You're wrong! Some organizations "rest" and then come back with renewed life. Such is the story of the Spanish Club. With the entrance of new sophomores into A.L. in the fall of 1969, life-giving blood was transfused into the Spanish Club. The initiation picnic transformed into a "jello slinging" event where Mr. Tomas Lara had an unexpected taste of bananacream pie. Three trips to Howard's Mexican Charro also highlighted the year's schedule. A pinata party was held in early spring delayed from Christmas in order to finish the pinata. Spanish Club members had their "day" during International Week and played siesta music while report cards were distributed-a fitting tribute to those who had slept through the first qua ~ter.

As a result, contrasting opinions on current topics made discussions lively at times. Several potluck meetings were held in the homes of various members with political leaders as guests. Mr. Dennis Butler, the new sponsor, spoke at one meeting while Mr. Donald Steege, Republican Chairman, addressed the other. TARS were instrumental in bringing Congressman William J. Scher le to speak to social studies classes . To raise money, the organization held a drawing for a $100 ticket to a State fund-raising dinner in Des Moines.

Dr. Robert Benton, Supt. of Schools, and a selected group of teachers and townspeople discussed the proposed code. This code was generally accepted but must yet be approved by the School Board . One long-standing proposal was okayed by the School Board -namely, the erection of a marquee sign on the A. L . grounds. The new sign will welcome the student body in the fall of 1970.

Susan Streepy, Barbara Lett and Sandra Christensen represented A.L. at the Iowa Leadership Conference in Des Moines on Mar ch 10-11, 1970.

The club's purpose was to teach its members about the various languages of computers and the many aspects of computer programming. Although the members frequently found themselves scratching their heads in bewilderment at the complicated machines, field trips both to the Area X 111 media center's computer center and to a computer workshop at Nebraska Wesleyan University helped them to understand the computers which they will undoubtedly encounter in the future.

L. debaters. Research in debate is long and tedious but the excitement of the matches makes sharp logic come fast-a premium of the research. To give more status to debate, Abraham Lincoln joined the National Forensic League. Nine students earned enough points to be qualified members: Hugh Wilcox, Mike Daley, Kathy Gallagher, Debbie Plummer, Karen Kessler, Steve Farrell, Kevin Fleming, Noran Davis and Dave Eilers. In the Junior Varsity Division of the Gold Greater Omaha League of Debate, Hugh Wilcox and Mike Daley won the 1st-place trophy. Hugh was the outstanding speaker of the debate squad, winning 1st place in Extemporaneous Speaking in the Iowa State High School Association in Carroll, Iowa. He was also a finalist in the District Extemporaneous Speaking Contest of the Iowa High School Forensic League and represented A.L. in Iowa City in the All-Iowa Finals. There is a small nucleus of experienced debaters to represent A.L. next year but new sophomores and juniors are needed. Admiring their trophy are Debbie Plummer, Mike Daley, Karen Kessler, Hugh Wilcox and Kathy Gallagher.

There were crowded buses going to and from contest; there were crowded speaking rooms; and there were even crowded sleeping accommodations. However, they all agreed they would do it again for 17 out of 21 "superior" ratings . "This was quite a record," commented "Buana" Tom Brown, named "Rookie of the Year." Whether he earned that title for the ratings at contest or just plain "surviving" it, is not known!

Until this mighty decision was made, there was to be no parade. New government regulations forced the route to be changed to Vine Street, Scott Street, and Pearl Street, ending as usual at Bayliss Park. There were 24 units, including the traditional three class floats, the band and the Pep Club. All floats were built on the theme: "Centennial Blast-Off!" The parade was a climax to Spirit Week which featu~ed a "G,~rls' Muscle Contest" won by Becky Luhring and a Cake Contest" won by Dean Anderson who made a football field. Much to the consternation of b.oth classes~ the judges claimed that the junior and senior floats tied for first place. After the parade, a bonfire rally was held on the Abraham Lincoln field following a football game between girls. Incidentally, footba 11 boys in sweaters and skirts cheered this game. Prior to the game with South, a car rally formed in the Abraham Lincoln parking lot and "blew" its way through town to the Council Bluffs Stadium where the junior and senior floats plus the band float were on display. Second place was awarded to the band float. Steve Ann Chambers was crowned Homecoming Queen during a half-time show presented by the Pep Club and the band . A dance sponsored by the Pep Club was held in the gym fol lowing the victory over South: 32-7. A huge crowd of students enjoyed the music of the Kaliedoscope at the dance. Mrs. Penny Basehore, Miss Anita Lang and Miss Janet Lyle, sponsors of all Homecoming activities were pleased with the cooperation of the student body in making Homecoming a "blast-off" success .

Both groups performed in the Road Show, in the Small-Group State Contest, in public performances at school and in programs for business organizations of the city. The Varsity Choir provided a chance for many girls to sing, even though they could not fit into Concert Choir because of schedule conflicts or because the Concert Choir was full. Many of these girls will fill vacancies in the Concert Choir next year. Sophomore Glees provided ample reserve for the Carol Boyd, Beth Cutler, Royce Doumis, Brenda Klefman, Sally Spetman ROW 3: Kristie Smith, Lois Hanusa, Cindy Kniskern, Marlys Hammers, Janie Atkinson, Bobette Joyner, Marsha Saint, Diana White, Pat Evans, Ruth Hanusa, Nancy Gruber Concert choir sings and State Contest tryouts. Mr. Clarence Smelser commented, "Sophomore students worked very hard in their groups and showed tremendous interest and progress." There must be a growing interest in music because more and more sophomores go on to Varsity and Concert Choir. In fact, so many tried out that the membership of the Concert Choir was increased to 30. Of al I departments in the school, the Music Department has probably benefitted the most from the new 8-period day.

Band members get up before breakfast and march miles to make halftime shows at the football games snappy and pretty. Many people miss the shows because they are at the concession stands, but the band members give their hearts anyway. Once in the fall of 1969, Mr. Lee Spann and Mr. Willis Armstrong combined the concert choir and the band into a "knee-slappin" showdown on the field. A.L's band was invited to participate in Drake University's Band Day. Here A.L. was honored in a group of 20 other bands as the band which had travelled the furthest. On Friday, May l, 1970, the band attended the music contest at Lewis Central where it rated a 11. To take this "sour note" away, the band packed up (without instruments) and made its way to the picnic grounds of Arrowhead Lake at Neola. Here everyone acquired a sunburn, a full stomach and sore feet from 1-o-n-g walks in the park. To round out the event, Mr. Willis Armstrong and his family attended the picnic.

Cramming into the pit is not a 11 that easy. Orchestra ranks I Orchestra members always know their major task is to accompany the fall musical. After long hours of practice in rehearsal with the cast, Damn Yankees was finally presen-ted. Mr. Willis Armstrong and the audience were equally pleased with the orchestra's performance and were sure the hours of practice paid off. Members of the orchestra were not always entertaining. Sometimes they were entertained! On one occasion, Mr. E.G. Amarosa, cel l ist, and John Harrison, modern-day folksinger, all from the SAC orchestra, mystified and captivated their musicminded audience. AL's orchestra delighted in "outdoing" T .J . for the "I" spot at the Large Group Contest, May 1 at Lewis Central. Liz Miller, violin ist, was honored at t he Honors Banq uet by being selected for the Nat ion a l Sc hool Orchestra Assoc iation. Liz Miller thinks, "Hey, Mr. Armstrong, let's practice after hours.

Some contestants received I, some 11, and some Ill. (Right, saxes?!) Luck worked triple with the dance band since it performed at basketball games, the road show, and pep rallies. Such a heavy schedule required dance band members to be at school at 7 o'clock in the morning for preparation for their concerts. Through a little Scottish blood, the dance band was able to save its pennies for "different-looking" uniforms. Blue shirts, white ties, and red coats made their debut-no matter how late!

TW I RP Week proved to be a success after A. L. became aware of its presence. The common trend was one of delayed reaction among the student body. The "Beautiful Bod" contest attracted a menial penny collection with Tim McElderry as title holder. In the mad rush to ask their guys to the big dance, which featured the "Common Creed", many students missed the exciting rope pull held on the field. Juniors set a new trend for attending a dance when the male court members asked each other and came as a threesome!! To the surprise of many, TWI RP Week was gone before it arrived! Junior TWI RPS _include Randy Spetman, John Evans, Kevin Sigler, Bette Anderson, Marcie Hunt, and Beth Cutler. "Ha Ha .. . your name is mud! " jokes Linda Thomas to Bette Anderson and Marcie Hunt .

Roadshow of 1970. There were many firsts accomplished by the time of production. A steering committee of seven students selected all the acts and arranged rehearsals. A new change was the addition of the Mr. and Miss A.L.H.S. Pageant to the show's format. Mr. Ken Steine, who was absent due to illness during both performances, was shocked to find that the performance lasted until midnight! It was four hours long! Even so, Collage turned away two-hundred customers, including the superintendent, on the first night. But everyone returned and fi I led the house for the second show which lasted a mere three hours. "Can I help it if he's a peace freak?" sighs Kim Mortensen about Chuck Murnan. " .. . and my doggie, Poo Poo Pee Do had come back!" cries Cindy Ander- son. An experienced performer, Gloria Cox displays her specialty-twirling. Bob Matter is only one of the talented guitarists who played in the show. Emcees are caught in the act of rehearsing their skits.

ORIGINALITY A show within a show was presented by the candidates for Mr. & Miss Originality. Eight seniors composing the Mr. & Miss ALHS Court, presented original skits. Ken Johnsen was a pet salesman with two of his mice running out into the audience. Dennis Cooney sold Cooney ' s Cut-rate Creamery products while John Peters tried to get the teacher (?) to raise his government grade. Dennis Sullivan demonstrated his ability as a P.E. teacher while the winning "Mr." skit was presented by Jerry Walker who showed off his ability as a "grease monkey" to every girl who came into his service station. SALLY SPETMAN MISS ORIGINALITY Other "funnies" included Linda Curri who sold p.j .'s, Monie Hunter who acted as a receptionist and Brenda Klefman who gave guitar lessons to a sma ll boy . Barbara O' Brien auditioned for a part in a ballet and broke her leg . Sally Spetman presented a hi larious "Miss" skit about her pet frog for "Show and Tell" time and won the title of Miss Or igina lity. Although the program was 40 minutes in lengt h, it went very fast for an impromptu show . John Leed, Emcee for the ceremony, announced all four winner s just before the intermission of the road show. B RENDA KLE F M AN DENN IS SU LLIVAN BARBARA O'BRIEN 8 1 82 Potentiality soars in 110ur Town11 "Our Town," the first all-school play of the year, showed the true potentiality of the Drama Department. With ingenuity and imagination, the bare stage served as a cemetery, a soda shop, a church, and the homes of the Gibbs and Webb families. All the actors, which composed one of the largest casts ever used at Abraham Lincoln, proved that creativity in pantomime is alive and thriving among Drama Department participants. In this production, Kenneth Steine proved himself to be a fantastic director. Tom Brown, newest member of the drama faculty, produced new lighting effects which enhanced the production. Seven weeks of long rehearsals will be long remembered by the cast, the crews, and the audiences. "A chicken phosphate?" "Roof leaks, huh?" "Did someone say retired?" j " There is nothing like a hot breakfast, Wally." " Look out, Hall of Fame .. . " "Do you think I' m made out of money, George?". " Gossip, Gossip, Gossip." " Four scor e and seven year s ago . . . " 83 84 Don Quixote is adventure in fantasy "Rocinante, where are you?" This was a familiar cry onstage during the six weeks of rehearsal for the second all-school play, The Wonderful Adventure of Don Quixote. Steve Jensen and Brant Webb were cast in the leading roles of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, respectively. Joining in this light comedy-farce were the families and friends of the two title heros. Crews also added spice and realism to settings, costumes, props, and make-up. A special challenge in this play was make-up-especially Quixote, Sancho, and Esteban, the monkey, played by sixyear-old Kerry Mortensen. The light fantasy of this A.L. Drama production was a healthy addition to the Council Bluffs Spring Fine Arts Festiva I. "Verry interesting," quips Don Quixote, Steve Jensen, to a befuddled Sancho, Brant Webb. "Now, monkey, tell me the future!!" demands Catherine Reynolds, as John Pusey and Jo Ann Carlson listen intently. "I proclaim thee Don Quixote De La Mancha!" exclaims Mark Peters! Rich Brown, Bob Caughey, and Tim McElderry work diligently on their scenery project. "What ho, giants!!" 85 8 6 Queen-Sally Spetman King-Dennis Sullivan Heavenly .. atmosphere is created Star-studded walls centered with Zodiac signs greeted approximately 450 students and friends who attended the junior-senior prom decorated in the "Aquarius" theme. Juniors can be praised for their hard work, ingenuity, and late hours in making this prom comparable with 1969's prom. In spite of previous rumblings about not liking the combo, everyone agreed that the showing of the Chancellors from Lincoln, Nebraska, was grand indeed! Usually, the "females" steal the show with mod outfits but this year, the "males" were in the lime-light. Blue doublebreasted jackets, pink ruffly shirts, and paisley bell-bottom pants all ranked high on "in" list for men. A new system of refreshments was instigated. When a fellow bought an invitation for his date and himself, they were eligible for all the "goodies" they could eat. Inexperienced sponsors, Mr. Tom Brown, Mr. Robert Pettepier, and Mrs. Idella Spann, are now experienced but they will never sponsor a better prom! Sally Spetman and Dennis Sullivan "walk the red carpet" to their throne. Dennis Sullivan weeps for r oses of his own. 8 7 88 BRENDA KLEFMAN-DEAN ANDREWS CHERYL MARSH-KEN JOHNSEN PROM COURT BARBARA O'BRIEN-DENNIS COONEY RAMONA HUNTER-JERRY WALKER 11 • •• th is is the age Members of t he court dance on " Cloud N ine."

Five assemblies were presented by the students themselves. Members of the National Honor Society conducted an assembly for new members. Crimson and Blue Staff members presented four Service Awards. Y-Teens sponsored . a Drug Assembly featuring Nick Sulentic, Chief of Police, and Dr. Emmet Kenney of Psychiatric Service in Omaha. At Christmastime, the Music Departme_nt sponsored the Christmas program wh1 le the Y -Teens presented the Easter Assembly. . These assemblies were appreciated by t he student body but the I. D. entertainers were missed. Police Chief N ick Sulentic out l ines Iowa's drug abuse laws. Honorees are surprised at assembly Mr. Kenneth Stein: "I deserve it!" "I can go for more of this," sighs Miss Erva Huckleeberry. Secrecy enveloped the Service Awards Assembly sponsored by the Crimson and Blue Staff in December. To prolong the suspense, Mr. Kenneth Kuester gave a 12-minute speech about his convention with principals in Washington, D.C. He concluded that he was happy to be principal of A.L. and not some other troublesome school. Four members of the Crimson and Blue Staff presented the service speeches: Al Fisher for Mr. Seth Hills; Dave Collins for Mrs. Mary Anderson; Pam Nellen for Mrs. Marjorie Sheely and John Leed for Mr. Kenneth Steine. Entertainment was provided by the Dance Band and by Miss Erva Huckleeberry who pinned on the corsages and boutonniers and received the kisses. Mr. Seth Hills : "How do I love thee?

Now, it is the most popular course in the school. It is the only course in which applicants are turned away. And for what reason? Applicants are accepted according to the order of their birthdays beginning with January. Some students take this course in night school so as to beat the "birthday" requirement for regular school. "Did you know that your gas tank is empty" quips Mr. St. Jimenez to Debbie Bain. In the days of its infancy, Driver Education accommodated 30 students a year at A. L. and there was only one teacher for both high schools. With the advent of the simulator and three more teachers, some 280 students were enabled to take Driver Education this past year. Due to Driver Education, Dad is saved many a frightening moment and besides that, his insurance is reduced. Of course, t he Dad of today has to buy another car, whereas the Dad of y esterday already had another horse in the barn! r 1 _ --- --• ''" JITlftll.._...._ _ __, "0, no, I'm not riding with her!" kids Mr. Albert Worley to himself.

Thirteen cooks, some thin and some chubby, cooked for seven schools, including A. L., in a kitchen built for six cooks to prepare meals for one school. Skill, patience, humor and diligence were needed to accomplish the tasks at hand. To speed up long lunch lines, the jet-lunch program was instigated. Approximately 300 sack lunches. were sold each day at the entrance to the cafeteria . Thus, there were three service lines each day instead of two. Federal lunch was still "in" but students were agreeable and tolerant in their cooperation. After all, there was Mother's cooking to look forward to for supper. Peak days to be remembered by the cooks were the Southwest Iowa Teachers' Convention luncheon, the Junior-high Music Festival luncheon and the Honor Banquet. Almost 1,500 meals were served at these activities which were additional to the regular routine. Janet Aman and J ane Smith assist w ith the Spanish lunch.

M1 les of corridors had to be polished daily and this was no sma 11 task with 1400 students to dodge in the daytime plus 200 Iowa Western Community College students at night. In the fall, tons of supplies had to be unloaded and transported to the correct areas. Dur ing the year, hundreds of ! Old ing chairs had to be set up in the gym for pub I ic use.

Perhaps the accomplishment students will remember most was the board's agreement to abolish the dress code. Also in cooperation with the students, plans were nearing completion for a new marquee sign. As usual, curriculum was a major issue, as plans were made to change it further. A study was made of a central vocational high school located in "neutral territory" to serve both A.L. and T .J. Finally, the School Board recognized the desires of the students themselves. This interest in the students proved that there really needn' t be a "generation gap." MR. RAYMOND JONES Assistant Superintendent DR. ROBERT BENTON Superintendent DR .

Triumvirate copes with wealth of problems With the "mighty three" in charge-Principal Mr. Kenneth Kuester and Vice-Principals Mr. Thurman Johnson and Mr. Roy Lawson-A.L. was bound to have a successful year. As principal, Mr. Kenneth Kuester listened to the problems of the faculty and students and initiated many changes in the interest of a better school. His sincerity and ability to see things from the students' viewpoint made him a highly respected leader. Mr. Roy Lawson's manifold duties included everything from supervising detention "activities" to housecleaning lockers. His cheerful smile and ready wit gave confidence to many a student "invited" to be a "guest" in his office. In addition to scheduling bake sales and coordinating club meetings, Mr. Thurman Johnson supervised dances, assemblies, and all other student activities. Abraham Lincoln High School's administration proved effective in smoothing out many problems as well as acting as a link between the school and the community. "May I have your attention please .. . " booms Mr. Thurman Johnson. "Hmmm . .. I wonder if I left those papers in here?" asks Mr. Kenneth Kuester. "Wouldn't it be funny if I got a detent ion f or skipping?" m uses Mr. Roy Lawson. 109 110 MRS. MAE MAHER Personnel Secretary MRS. KAY McKERN Secretary MRS. PHYLLIS HILDER Secretary MRS. BERNICE WILLIAMS Treasurer Main office is control center for entire school Three secretaries, one bookkeeper, one principal and two vice-prir:icipals, sixteen student assistants and one miniature switchboard-these were the wheels of operation for the entire school. Mrs. Mae Maher, personal secretary to Mr. Kenneth Kuester, enrolled new students, spent countless hours averaging grades for class ranks, and somehow managed to avoid mass confusion. Mrs. Phyllis Hi Ider had a hectic job each morning as she critically read the legitimate (?)excuses of "sick" or "tardy" students. Life rushed on for her as she raced with the second period bell to compile the absence list. Mrs. Kay Mc Kern worked with I BM code numbers, student schedule cards, and print-out sheets of every teacher's class roll . The financial affairs of all the school activities were in the capable hands of Mrs. Bernice Williams. For entertainment, she sold book covers and played with the dream pets rej.ected by magazine sale winners. Sixteen student assistants did the "leg work" tor the secretaries who did the "head work." Without the steady control of the office personnel-helpf ul and pleasant to all-life at A.L. would have been chaos. ;~~oo~!

ROMOLA FRITZ M .S.-Creighton Un iversity Schools of yesteryear had no counseling office! Contrast this with the 1969-1970 year when the Counseling Department was one of the most vital areas of school life. All five counselors listened to school and personal problems an~ endeavore~ . to assist t~e students in finding solutions. In add1t1on to prev ious efforts to improve communications, counselors made a concentrated effort to visit with each pupil. In fact, an accurate record was made of every contact on the student registration cards. Interest in the d~p~rtment was stimulated by the counselors who v1s1ted various classes and discussed the goals of the department. Besides educational, personal, and vocational guidance, counselors were also in charge of the scheduling procedure in connection with the Area 13 Computer Center. Counselors registered new students, adm inistered tests, supervised college entrance exams, and did follow-up reports on graduates. Students used the department extensively since they found it to be. the best place to go for adv ice on preparing for the future as well as for help for today .

Just .as the coaches are the incentive which produces the w1llto-win in at hletes, they are also salesmen trying to sell involvement to the anxious student body. Nothing has raised enthusiasm in the student cheering sections like watching "Scooter" scoot across the floor at a pep assembly to speak, or seeing "Jumping Gene" hit the ceiling of the gym at a thrilling basketball contest. It is this kind of person that inspires good sportsma nship through defeat as well as through victory. With such a coaching staff, A.L. has a head-start on any school in the conference!!

Dennis Cooney shot a 9.19 average per game as a starter and was aggressive at defense. Brian Traylor shot 9.14 per game and was also an asset at defense.

Strong scoring by Craig Madsen, Dave Hogan, and Al Sorensen, plus rebounding strength of Dan Hissong and Randy Christiansen added up to a fine starting five. Fresh subs also did an excel lent job when their support was needed. Alan Sorensen shoots tor two, but not without competition. Sophomores used a control led pattern offense and a pressing zone defense. This stymied their opponents all year. It was an exciting season except for one dry spel I. Omnipotent sophomores proved themselves to be winners and should be a great asset in next year's varsity program. SOPHOMORE SCOREBOARD A.L.

The "men of the links" ~ad a season of 4 wins, 6 losses in match play. Of the nine team members, only four were return ing _ letter-winners: Mick Durham, Doug Krasne, Don Simons, and Kevin Sigler. With Durham and Simons the only graduating seniors, the outlook for next year's golf season is extremely good. Next year's squad will greatly miss the patience and understanding of Coach Walter Kaltenborn who retired from teaching this year. 172 174 159 167 167 164 176 176 167 172 3rd Place SCOREBOARD St. Albert' s Harlan . ...

By teaching the girls putting, driving, and control of hooks and slices, "Mrs. B." led the team to place second in the sectional tournament in Atlantic, and fourth in the district meet at Creston. The squad covered over two-hundred miles of road in traveling to such romantic and mystic places as Villisca, Iowa, and Wahoo, Nebraska.

Such a record put them in second place. Not many tears were shed over the one loss since it was to Central, Nebraska's champion team. Spring activity was actually practice for the district tournaments with Marty Wade and Greg Coelho playing singles. A.L. was represented in doubles competition by Ken Johnsen and Curtis Jackson as one team and Rich Brown and Randy Van Houten as another team. Wade, in singles, and Johnsen-Jackson in doubles reached the quarter finals while the Brown-VanHouten team went to the State Tournament in Des Moines. Marty Wade thinks so hard on each shot that his knee hurts. "Which hand shall I hit it with?" yells Ken Johnsen.

The first award is given to t he outstanding senior girl who displays loyalty to her community, city, and country. In regard to the Betty Crocker Award, it is not limited to girls in the Homemaking Department. Any girl in school is ent it led to take the test which concer ns all phases of homemaking. The third award was established years ago by a famous doctor in Counc il BluffsDr. Erickson-Hill. This outstanding wom an doctor was a member of t he school board for 19 years and noticed that no award was given for unselfish service at the Honor s Assembly. Therefore, she establ ished t he Dr. Erickson-Hill Award w hich is covet ed by senior girls. This year, M r. Set h H ill s and hi s brother, Mr. Corning Hills establ ished the Rev . Dr. Leon C. Hi l ls award in m em ory of their father who was a m inister in Council Bluffs for many years. Th is award was to be given to a senior boy f or hi s unselfish service in his school and in hi s church. 209 210 Proud parents applaud After a century of Honors Assemblies held in the dayt ime, an Honors Banquet was instigated to bestow honors in the presence of honored students and their parents. The banquet was attended by 138 students and their parents, relatives, and friends bringing the total attendance to over 400. Mr~ . Booten, with the assistance of her crew and 40 waitresses, served the entire group in the fieldhouse in 15 minutes. Work behind the scenes was done by enthusiastic members of the PT A. Mr. Kenneth Kuester was emcee for the evening and called the honor students to the podium in alphabetical order. Here each student received one certificate listing his awards. Supplementary pins, trophies, and plaques were presented by the faculty members as students crossed the stage to the exit steps. Mr. Kenneth Kuester awards Alan Fisher well-deserved honors.

Cordula Adkins Dean Andrews Anna Attley Jeannine Bauman A total of eighty-five students were honored at the 1970 National Honor Society assembly. Of these, sixty-two were newly inducted. Evidently, the rosereceivers weren't the only happy people. The student body assembled on the bleachers was in high spirits and couldn't resist the urge to clap to the Beat Generation's rendition of "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine." After the program all the new N HSers were welcomed at a reception by the senior members, which definitely added a special "punch" to the occasion!

On the assembly day when Mr. Kuester reads your name from the scroll, you might possibly face a harrowing descent through a sea of fellow students from a seat at the top of the bleachers .. . just to receive a rose? But wait for the pleasant glow that comes when you rea I ize you were chosen for the attributes of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. And the rose does smell nice nice!

SENIORS JUNIORS 213 214 Senior banquet is held at Nasr1 s At $4 a plate, the senior banquet was a great success with 320 seniors and guests present. It was a dressy affair with all the girls wearing dresses and all the boys in their most colorful togs. Nasr's was a festive location with its gala decor, an L-shaped banquet room and almost every senior on his best behavior. Everyone was busy during the first course getting signatures on his Centennial banquet program booklet, but the program did not really begin until Dennis Cooney "let loose" with one of his famous jokes. A sophomore trio composed of Melonie Hunter, Jim Runnels and Dana Knudson entertained the "high and mighty" seniors with a group of folk songs. However, the highlight of the evening was the showing of "Senior Sneakers." Sixty-seven unsuspecting seniors witnessed their baby pictures as shown by Mr. Sidney Klapper and narrated by Monica Moe. Mr. Kenneth Kuester closed the evening's activities with his best wishes and best advice to the Class of 1970. Dana Knudson, Jim Runnels and M elonie Hunter sing folk songs at the banquet. A jolly "Coke-maid" serves Coke (?) to Cindy Andersen and John Shelton. Dean Anderson, Mrs. Joe Henry, Mrs. Kenneth Kuester, Brenda Kiefman, Mr. Kenneth Kuester and Dennis Cooney are among t he VI P's at the banquet. Monica Moe narrates "Senior Sneakers" with Mr. Sidney Klapper as the projectionist. SERMON INVOCATION REV. JACK W. SMITH REV. STEPHEN R. ROOT BENEDICTION REV. JOSEPH R. HENRY Baccalaureate gives 11reference point1 1 Kathy Rongish, Jolene Gaffey, and Betty Hicks march slowly into the gym for Baccalaureate. Under the direction of Mr. Willis Armstrong, the Abraham Lincoln orchestra began the Baccalaureate service with the traditional processiona l, "Pomp and Circumstance." Both the graduat ing classes from A.L. and T.J. filed solemnly into t he A.L. gym, where Rev. Jack W. Smith awaited w ith the invocation. After musical selections by the Thomas Jefferson concert choir, the scripture and ser mon wer e delivered by the Rev. Stephen R. Root. He warned the graduates to take heed, and find a true r efer ence point through God. However, he talked f or 45 minutes, which surprised many people who had expected only a short message. Following a benediction by t he Rev. Joseph Henry, students recessed once aga in by t heir new pop music favorite, "Pomp and Circumstance." Members of t he Class of 1970 pause in contemplat ion during the Bacca laureate Service. 215 216 Backstage before Graduation is as exciting as ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Robert Barber, daughter Sharon and her boyfriend (?) share in the anticipation of graduation. "Yay! ! I'm graduating!!" Kathy Rongish admires Mona Pengra's engagement ring, while Janie Atkinson and Janet Ratekin look over her shoulder. Sue Foster, Monie Hunter, Christy McLaughlin, and Mary Wilcox prepare to take their place in the line of march. "Look at all the watches!" exclaims Cindy Andersen. "This isn't gr aduation, it's a jewelers' convention, huh??" Mary Gundlach, Schuyler Quick, and Dana Laustrup are all ready to graduate, but Deb- bie Burroughs wants to stay on her island of learning. "Now, John, where's the graduation kiss you promised me?" While stu_den.ts are preparing backstage, parents fi le into t he gym in search of a place to sit. 217 At the graduation of the lOOth class, symposium members called upon fellow classmates to remember that graduation is only the beginning of even greater endeavors, and that life has not even revealed itself to us as yet. A high point came during the introduction of administration members and guests, when Mr. Roy Lawson, retiring vice-principal, received a standing ovation from the seniors. Following the presentation of diplomas by Mr. Kenneth Kuester and Mr. William Cutler, graduates were told to move their tassels and _ be recognized as alumni of Abraham Lincoln High School.

" Students observe a movie which some of their classmates made showing pollution problems in Council Bluffs. Miss Janet Jensen, new reading instructor, sponsors Earth Day. A.L. 1 s earth day merits national t.v. coverage Earth Day brought to A.L. a real chance to express itself on an issue which recently had come into national prominence. Anyone who had a unique idea for pollution problems was permitted to exhibit and demonstrate his "thing." Activities took place in the girls' gym which was renamed the "Environment Room." Here there were movies, slides, chemistry and physics' demonstrations, and folk music. To top off the day and put A.L. on the air, T.V. crew men came from CBS to televise A.L's Earth Day participation. It was a thrill to hear and see Council Bluffs as Walter Cronkite told the Earth Day story across the nation. An outcome of the day was the formation of a new organization STOP-Students To Overcome Pollution. Earth Day's theme should be remembered and carried on so that the world will become a cleaner and healthier place in which to live.

We wish to extend our thanks to Pyles, Harding, and Canon Studios for their help and cooperation in pr epa r ing the portrait sections of the book.

One that will serve to document the year of the Centennial. During 1970, administration, faculty, and students alike became acquainted with staff members. Staffers were a very busy bunch, but some were more dedicated than others. After missing a deadline, workers discovered that a yearbook doesn't finish itself. It was time to make book! This has been an experience I'm sure none of us will ever forget. We have worked together to create the best yearbook possible with our resources . I extend my thanks to a 11 my staff for their work to finish the book. To Al, for all his help and hard work, a special thanks! For Mr. Clarke, here is the applause for all those extra hours in the darkroom. For that extra backing when I needed it, to my friend and advisor, Miss Huck, I give my warmest appreciation . 17 ..... .s>p ::/" "o ... ... m WALSWORTH M a rceline. M o .. C . S .

Would the new band director be worth the toot of his trumpet? Everybody hoped so! Mr. Jim Misner was a "doer." His 74 high-stepping musicians were on the field every morning at 7: 15, practicing for parades, halftimes and contests. Highlight of the year was an invitation to march in the Sioux Falls College Homecoming Parade where A.L. ranked 2nd. (Sioux Falls hometown band ranked l st.) Four concerts were presented during the year to larger and more enthusiastic audiences than usual. To top off the year, a banquet was held at the Pink Poodle to talk about old times and give out honors. Even Drum Major Tom Rya n takes a break from hi s busy life. New band man " ...

Hours after school were fi I led with rehearsals (scheduled and rescheduled!) and basketball games. But regard less of the confusion and cramped time, the show did go on. This year's road show was a "shortie" compared to previous years. Emcees Jane Whitsell and Lynn Madison introduced the acts, which ranged from a cello solo to the Kazoo Band. The audience was given an opportunity to sing along as the finale group sang "Day is- Done." Although the show was far from professional, the cast, crews, and directors worked hard to make it a success. "Now Jane, I've told you a hundred times ..... ! " Road show and tourney "Tenth floor. .

Music Department. The recent Broadway hit "Hello Dolly" brought much excitement along with the hustle and bustle of an all-too-soon production date. Approximately 100 concert choir members participated in the show. A four-foot ramp was bui It on the fringe of the orchestra pit providing an extra stage for "close-to-thecrowd" singing and dancing. Kate Talbott, as the scheming Dolly Levi, successfully snared the miserly Mr. Vandergelder (Mark Peters) while the nearly charming Ernestina (Catherine Reynolds) stole the show. Bright costumes and lively songs kept three full houses alive and appreciative of the effort displayed in a semi-professional performance. Nikki Johnson sings the romantic "Ribbons Down My Back".

A mysterious comedy, centering around two old ladies portrayed by Catherine Reynolds and Kay Hansen and their kooky brother, Dave Maron, kept the audience laughing and wondering.

Students "moved and grooved" to the sounds of "Music" and "Whale." These two bands played alternately throughout the evening. Free pop, chips, and dips were great "when the hungries hit."

This group sang songs of their own composition and conducted a sing-a-long at the end of the assembly. Mr. Don Moxley dismissed school at 2 :40 that day which made it all the better. With the dawning of April came the Easter Assembly presented by the Drama and Music Departments. Connie Coy and Melanie Hutchison of the Y-Teens were Emcees for the program which consisted of numbers by the Concert Choir and dramatic interpretations by the Drama Department of people of Biblical times during the Crucifixion.

How do you plan Homecoming? How many magazines did you sell? These were some of the questions posed to the Student Council this past year. Homecoming has always been a Pep Club sponsored activity, but this year it was taken over by Student Council. The greatest change this year was the size of the Council. The decrease in size has brought about a definite increase in responsibility and efficiency. A.L. was host to the District officers meeting this year. Discussions of problems in the schools were held. A major barrier in gaining the marquee sign was broken. The faculty parking lot was lighted. This will bring power to the sign we hope to have within the next year. Finally! Belinda Post laughlingly says, "Come on, Mr. Hauser, get in the holiday spirit!"

Red Cross ij ------ "Well, if you're sure its a worthy cause ... " helps others Youth Red Cross is an organization which sponsored many activities to help others this year. In September the members heard a talk given by Miss Leota Norton who spoke on "Forgotten Americans ". In response to pleas for help for the POW's and MIA' s, members circulated petitions and secured student and faculty signatures from each homeroom. They sponsored a col lection for the Pakistan Relief Fund and collected $79.39 from students and faculty. This was turned over to the Pottawattamie Chapter of the Red Cross . In March they sponsored a Fund and Membership drive and collected $75.03 which was given to the local chapter of the Red Cross.

A dance featuring "Bumpy Action" was a huge financial success! Add to that the fa cu 1- ty basketball game (won by the students) and you have a substantial treasury to finance the next exchange student. Membership in AFS was an unwieldy number-65 members -so the officers (especially Jim Eilers, president) had a difficult time holding everybody's attention. Potlucks were whiz-bang affairs-loads of people and loads of food. Sponsors Frances Burritt and Don Scheibeler said a loud "Amen" when their first year ended, but they pronounced the year "most successful". AFS'ers and friends enjoy "Bumpy Action".

An initiation potluck, regular potluck suppers, costume parties, and bake sales kept Ger- 1 man Club members cooking constantly. German was the "word" at parties-else you washed the dishes. German posters decorated the halls during International Week. French Club had a table at the Flea Market which was quite successful. A puppet show, featuring a huge, yellow, fuzzy rabbit as an Emcee, was a great hit. French Clubbers went carolling at Christmas time in the Forrest Drive area where the treats were great-especially at the Scarpellino residence.

Posters forecasted the coming attractions and the cafeteria got A-plus by serving federal lunches with funny, foreign names. You should have seen how the cooks "decked out" the cafeteria! Throughout the week, d ifferent activities took place on German Day and French Day, etc. A linguistic choir sang, puppet shows were presented, skits were created, and everyone wore a flag for each day. Since the weatherman felt left out, he let it rain on the picnic but the cafeteria rang with the fun of the indoor foreign picnic. Miss Gwen Metz's comment was, "We'll do it again ." "Food!" cries Miss Gwen Metz. 51 52 Y-Teens serve double purpose Y-Teens were busy doing everything this year, including a little extra, as they combined the Service Overseas Club with theirs. "Let' s do something different," was heard at every meeting, so this became the aim of the club. As a result, a puppet show was presented to the children at Jennie Edmundson Hospital, and packages were sent to the servicemen overseas. Connie Coy and Melanie Hutchinson participated in the Easter Assembly as Emcees, and a basket was packed for a needy family at Thanksgiving time. There was even a rare party treat for the Y-Teens at Halloween. Y-Teeners may do things on the last minute (much to the consternation of the sponsors) but it just beats all what a great success they have with their projects.

A.L.'s members were famous before they arrived since Beth Cutler was a duo-president-A.L.'s Chapter and the State Chapter. Jane Shockey and Beth Andrews held offices also : State Publicity Chairman and District Recreation Director. There were complications in Ames since the swimming coaches and the FT A Convention were convening simultaneously . However FT A'ers "beat the coaches" by receiving the "red carpet treatment" at Hotel Fort Des Moines instead of the "humble" cam- pus facilities . FT A'ers returned .with a victory: Beth Andrews was elected State Recreation Chairman. Mrs. Maxine Switzer, sponsor, and President Beth Cutler laugh as Jane Shockey tries a "hard sell" approach.

Installation ceremonies plus skits about FHA goals opened the year's activities. Monthly potlucks threatened the addition of unwanted pounds, but a variety of social events provided sufficient exercise. A hayrack ride, roller skating party, slumber party, and a progressive dinner helped to fill a crowded calendar. FHA week consisted of daily events, including guest speakers and a "match - the - baby - with - the - teacher" picture contest (which provoked a few laughs). A hectic year came to an end with the annual style show: "Alice in Wonderland". If I burn my finger, I'll die!" cries Kathy Gallagher. Style show " Alice in Wonderland " was like a beautiful world of "makebel ieve".

Seven seniors, five juniors and four sophomores were chosen for the 1970-71 Pompon Squad. Tryouts took place in ·the spring so that the girls could practice during the summer. After earning the necessary funds, the girls attended a Drill Team Camp in Vincennes, Indiana. They returned from a hectic week with many new ideas and routines. Marching with the band was one of the many new experiences for the squad. The girls performed with the band at football halftimes and in parades, as well as at varsity basketball games.

Coming home from a week's camp at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, the Varsity Cheerleaders were more than anxious for the new year to begin . While at camp, they were awarded one of the six "Spirit Sticks" given to squads showing the most enthusiasm. · Eight sleepy heads (nine including Miss Janet Lyle, sponsor) reported at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday throughout the year to practice new and old routines.

There were twenty-five night events which they ushered including plays, musicals, concerts, open house, conventions, community events and finally Baccalaureate and Commencement. In May, Mr. and Mrs. Ken- neth Kuester hosted a dinner for the Courtesy Club underwritten by the Activity Fund . Thirty-two members and sponsors, Mrs. Lois Alter and Mrs. M ary Gepner were guests.

''Now'' problems concern Key Club It was business combined with pleasure when members of the Key Club luncheoned with the Kiwanians. By visiting with the businessmen of the city, Key Club members learned of community problems and projects and how Kiwanians sought to meet them. Rick Joranson, president, and Ed Kemp, secretary-treasurer, headed up fund raising projects. Key Clubbers checked coats at the Kiwanian travelogues, sold tickets for the Big-Brother basketball games and held a bake sale to pay the national dues. Rick also wrote an article on "Drugs and Ecology" which was published in the Echoes. Members were few but faithful in this organization. Rick Joranson and Ed Kemp wait patiently to check coats . "This isn't your coat? " questions Ed Kemp. " Can these be stacked?" wonders the Key Club. They are as follows : ROW l : Arthur Eaton, Scott Eckert, Bill Samuelson, Paul Barnett ROW 2: Dave Art hur, Bob Caughey, Ed Kemp, Rick Joranson, Steve Suvalsky, Mike Sizer 65 66 Lynx Artists isn't an ordinary organization . Weed gathering at Big Lake, tiedying, creating objects for selling at flea markets, and learning macrame from the student teacher stretched the artists' creative abilities.

Quill Club activity was given a giant boost with a larger membership consisting mainly of sophomores. " If he's a boy, let him in, " was a popular phrase created while reviewing membership entries. All meetings were "potluck" style plus the secret " underground" meetings announced by a sign in Mrs. Switzer's window stating, "It' s Coming". Only Quill Club members will know what happened at the "undergrounds". Creating a book of outstanding works by members was the major goal of the year. Funds were raised by bake sales, flea market sales, and modest weekly dues. Quill Club does have its serious side (sometimes) . " Get out of m y w ay, 1 ' m starved!

Meetings wer_e devoted mainly to money-making schemes. Drama Club members added class to their productions by serving orangeade and "goodies" to the patrons at intermission. (Money-making scheme!) "Dramatists" had a half holiday when they "bussed" to Omaha to see "1776," a new Broadway hit. A few Drama students went to see "Oedipus Rex" and "Much Ado About Nothing" presented by a National Shakespearean Company from New York.

"School spirit" topics were placed in the background while current topics: drugs, abortion, etc. were presented in editoria l form. Students were most interesting in analyzing their feelings about themselves and about their environment. Staffers had one goal : to produce a paper journalistically acceptable, containing news pertinent to the school and close to the hearts of the students.

But there was one place you didn't eat-and that was in the library. Under the watchful eyes of Miss Lucy Miller and Mrs. Norma Heaton, students researched weird subjects, looked up biographies, read scores of magazines, and plagued the assistant librarians for reserved books.

KRISTIE SMITH Betty Croaker Award MITCH STICHLER Rev. Leon Hills Award MARCIE HUNT Dr. Er ickson-Hill Award DAR Awa r d Kristie Smith was awarded the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award for her skill in family management. Kristie was a Gold Honor Roll senior and placed 6th in the State Homemaking Contest. Many of her hours were spent in "making yearbook" and checking tests; yet she found time for Qui I I Club and choir. Mitch Stichler, the proud receiver of the Rev. Dr. Leon Corning Hills Award, was known by his friends as a "future preacher." Mitch was recognized in the field of athletics for his spirit of enthusiasm and encouragement. Marcie Hunt, recipient of the Dr. Erickson-Hill Award and the DAR Award, was a bright spot in everyone's day. She sang in many programs and accompanied in many others. Her "tweettweet" and " tee-hee" made a senior social gather ing or a calculus lecture worth attending. Win or lose, she cheered at every athletic event. Marcie served as class secreta ry for three years and was on the Prom, ALHS, Homecoming, and Twirp Cou rts. 19 7 198 NHS initiates at tea National Honor Society members sparkled in the limelight as the senior members presented the first evening induction ceremony held at A.L. Weeks of preparation unfolded into a night of honor and elegance. Parents, family, and friends were invited to observe the induction of 70 members based on their scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and service. "The New Design" sweltered under the lights but provided lively entertainment as they harmonized and danced to the "now" sound. Speeches, roses, two oaths, (thanks to Mr. Kenneth Kuester, principal), cold hands, and milling conversations set the stage for a digni.fied yet casual induction tea. New inductees would certain ly agree that "a rose for any other occasion would not smell as sweet." " Oh, for me?" exclaims Debbie Beck as she receives her rose from Becky Luhring.

Ralph Faisst It was a day to don your "marrying and burying" suit. BENEDICTION Rev. Ried Neve i I • • 1nsp1res sleepy • seniors "Are you sure I look all right?" This was the only time A.L. stooped to Tee Jay. Lulled by the never-ending choruses of "Pomp and Circumstance" early in the morning of May 30, tired seniors prepared to heed advice for the future. Following the invocation given by Rev. Paul Miller and selections by A.L's Concert Choir, Rev. Ralph Faisst delivered the sermon. He told A.L. and Tee Jay sen- ·iors that to advance in life, one must serve God and not himself. The Benediction was given by Rev. Ried Neve before Tee Jay's orchestra ended the service with more choruses of "Pomp and Circumstance." "Now that' s what I call a nice, short sermon," sighs Br uce Petersen. 203 204 Patty Lee's motto: /1 Alone we may acquire great knowledge, but only hand in hand, as brothers, wi 11 we know peace, /1 was interpreted at the 1971 Commencement. Moderator Eric Joranson challenged the audience to "stop and consider life." Rebecca Moats talked of man's eternal strife for life and wisdom. She stated, "Graduation does not bring the end to learning-only the beginning. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of our lives." "We are going forth to lead," stated Mike Daley. Mark Peters spoke of the true friendships which will appear after separation following graduation. "Each person has his own idea of peace. Only the final works will show peace," pleaded Belinda Post.

Who would want to get up early every morning and report for practice at 7 a.m.? Showmanship was a characteristic of the porn pon girls since they particiapted in the halftime show at Homecoming, marched in the Homecoming Parade, presented routines during the basketball season, entertained at the road show, marched in the Iowa City parade and ''Rocked Around the Clock'' for the Beeson Benefit.

Meet the new RAH Club! A.L. has long had Pep Club problems. To eliminate some of these problems, a small group of girls organized the RAH Club. This caused consternation among the students, the faculty and the administration. One big hassle occurred when the members were not allowed to march in the Homecoming Parade. However, the organization survived and became the school's Pep Club under a new name: ''The Abe Lynx Spirit Crowd' '. 19 20 A. L.

John Ruffcorn was another offensive threat, always running up the middle for extra yardage. Coach John Brooke commented that the JV defense was never quite the same without Coach Ron Beeson's signals from the sidelines. Standouts which held the defense together were John Arthur, Tom Will, Roger Hansen, Steve Emert and Darrell Long. Jon Conyers (87) sidesteps a South defender.

The passing combination of Paul Crane to John Wickman scored a season high of 12 touchdowns. When halfbacks Rich Pascuzzi and Jim Wright were not gaining yardage around the ends, line play of Butch Atherton, Larry Nansel, and Jay Svoboda would often open up holes for fullback Rod Jensen to go crashing through for valuable yardage.

Ten seniors dominated the team which means next year will be a rebuilding year. Three outstanding players made the AllMetro Holiday Tournament Team: Dave Hogan, Bill Somers and Stan Petratis.

V. Basketball Team Tom Carrithers and Tom Will were the high scorers for the JV's. Since most of the team were sophomores, an 8-game winning streak was a terrific spirit- booster. South and Westside won by one -point which made two heartbreakers for the JV's. Followers of the team believed the Tech and Westside games were the best played in many years. Mr. St. Jiminez's "wheel defense" was the tool used to win the games. Sophomore Basketball High scorers for the team were Jim Bolten, Rick Bryant and Scott Franz. The defensive hustle, led by Jeff Oden, Dan Drennen and Charlie Tefft, was one of the more impor - tant tactics used by the team.

A smaller choir, better - proportioned sections, and allaround balance made it one of Director Lee Spann' s best choirs. The choir's year was highlighted by a heavy concert season including the Christmas and Easter assemblies. A.L.'s Concert Choir was chosen from all Iowa high schools to go to the Flint Hills Music Festival hosted by Kansas State University. For many girls who didn't want to audition for Concert Choir, Varsity Girls Choir was the answer to their singing problem. Varsity Choir sang Christmas carols, participated in the Winter and Spring Nights of Glees, and went on the tour. "Such a sad song at the Christmas Concert!'

The National Orchestra Award went to Roxanne Pillar. Also , Mr. Jim Misner's "Will to Seniors" was read, which created fun in the form of embarrassing moments! 67 6 8 Contest Is A Busy Time Besides concerts, tours, musicals, and All-City Contest, band and orchestra members were involved in a small group contest where 15 superior ratings were earned. At a large group contest in Harlan, the band received a II rating and the orchestra a I rating. \ Superior Ratings In Band- -Row 1: Allison Hills, J acquie Hansen, Kim Paul, Mike Loftis, Mike O'Bradovich Row 2: Scott Gerard, Terry Lewis , Richard Atkinson, Stan Smith, ~ike Dale Superior Ratings In Band- -Row 1: Debbie Der ry, Jill Thomas, Bonnie Nielsen, Leslee Payne, Jer ri Paulison, Cathy Bowlds Row 2: Bob Warner, Mike Madsen, Ted P oulos, Janet Beno Superior Ratings In Orchestra - -Row l : Chris Sundermann, Mary Beth Scarpelli no, Lori Bridson Row 2: Jill Newberg, Cynthia Faisst, Roxanne Pillar Drummer Mike Dale beats in spirit.

Dance Band was really swinging especially at the road show where Drummer Terry Lewis was carried away by his drum solo and beat the drums off the stage. An invitation to play for the prom at the Iowa School for the Deaf gave the dance band a ''professional air'' . Pep Band did its part for school spirit by playing at the home basketball games. It was also asked to play for Creighton University. A new addition to the instrumental section was the arrival of a daughter to Director Jim Misner. 69 70 Carousel Spins On! Stories of a New England town and its tear-jerking tales spun into the hearts of many Abraham Lincoln students and Council Bluffs play-goers alike! Mr. John Gibson and Mr. Lee Spann scored again with some of the best casting many people had ever seen in a high school musical. Casting was only one of the fine things about this play. Acting, singing, and dancing made "Carousel" come to life. New techniques were instigated- -for example, the use of no house curtain and a spectacular opening carnival scene. One of the most diffi - cult technical accomplishments was a moving carousel. At each performance, it drew a hearty round of applause except at the student matinee when the motor burned out. Speaking of carousels, re - member when the big talker Billy Bigelow (Mark Draper) almost fell off his own carousel. Miss Motherly Love is Kate Talbott alias Nettie Fowler .

A Night Of Terror A most scary show started off the new season of plays at Abraham Lincoln. This was the first production of the new theatre director, John Gibson, who put his professionalism to good use. Through the discovery of new talent in Harriet Luckman, Jim Brower, and Andy Peters, Dracula became a smashing success. As a dramatic lesson, both new and old actors alike found it nearly impossible to put on a show without learning their lines. Right, Actors? Debbie Grote adds stage make-up to a wide -eyed Paula Scarpellino . " Look deep into my eyes," says the vampire Jim Runnels to Jolene Pierson. A most elaborate set is that of " Dracula ." ..

"What do you mean my pants are too baggy for you?" asks Andy Peters of his lover, Jole ne Pierson. 7 3 74 ··Miracle Worker'' Rates Plays receiving the sign of superior theatre accomplishment are few and far between. "The Miracle Worker" was such an exceptional production that it received standing ovations each night. Jolene Pierson, who portrayed the young but hardworking Annie Sullivan, carried the show, but white-trashservant, Ginny Thomsen, stole it with her wobbly-hipped gait. Again sophomore power supplemented the cast while older "acting pros" discovered the field of technical theatre . "The Miracle Worker" was the icing which topped a year of work in the "Gibson Era." "Land Sakes! This here pump really works," exclaims white-trash servant, Ginny Thomsen. "Helen, HELEN!" screams Captain Keller (John Jackson). " " Don't cry, Dr. Anagnos, or I will ," pleads Jolene Pierson to Gary Gallner and the blind girls. 1' Tvvo Standing Ovations "F-1-N-G-E-R, finger, Helen, it has a name!" explains Jolene Pierson to Mel Hunter and retarded helper, Gary Bowes. Deaf mute Helen Keller, portrayed by Mel Hunter, reaches out for knowledge. This is another " quiet" evening in the Keller household. Once more Roge r Adams and Jolene Pierson have an eye-to-eye discussion. 75 Christmas Dance AFS members and sponsors, Miss Frances Burritt and Mr. Don Scheibeler, worried again about raising the necessary money to help sponsor an ~xchange student. Since Giddi Pips (an out-ofschool organization) did not have its usual dance, this was a welcome solution to two problems. Dingle-bobs, icicles, Christmas trees, Christmas garlands, and Christmas candles plus pretty Christmas formals made a festive evening. About 300 students enjoyed the " beat and boom of L .A. Carnaval. A profit of over $300 relieved all financial tension. AFS Christmas Dance tradition, maybe?

A Christmas dance sponsored by the AFS was the cause of this extra expense for many Dads. It was a tremendous success - -financially and fun-wise- -a truly school-spirited event! MEET DIEGO A.L. 's Foreign Exchange Student was Diego Londono. He came from Bogota, Columbia where his father owns a coffee plantation and his mother is a part-time nurse. Diego has one sister who was married after he left for America. Would you believe that his favorite Ameri - can food is a Snickers candy bar? When Diego finishes school he wants to be a mechanical engineer. We're ready for seconds. Diego's smile wins him many friends. ' 'WHO spiked the punch?'' questions Miss Francis Burrett and Mr. Don Scheibeler. Students Propose Court And Lounge ''A student court? I don't think it would work." "If everyone tried we could do it." "No study halls?" "Too many things would go wrong. ' ' This was the debate at Student Council meetings. The issue proposed was a student court which would ''allow the student, as an individual, a choice in the use of his free school time.'' Although the teachers vetoed this proposal, many felt that the student court issue had not died but had been temporarily put to rest. RED CROSS SERVES Red Cross recruited 18- year- olds as blood donors. Homeroom representatives and any other interested students collected $60 to give to the National Red Cross. Red Cross members had some fun with their service. They had a Christmas party of their own and a combined social ·event with the Y-Teens.

Thespians Were A Close Group Under new leadership, the reorganized Thespian Troupe #964 grew from eight to 50 members--a strong and closely-knit group. Acting plus working on sets and crews made everyone good friends. Two ini - tiations, including a 6 a.m. breakfast and a formal banquet highlighted the year's ac - ti vi ties.

Quill Club Visited "Zoo" An early fall initiation gave Quill Club a fun start to a creative year. The small but faithful group kept Mrs. Maxine Switzer, sponsor, on her toes during its trip to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo, the many potlucks, and a fun weiner roast. For her excellent essays and poems, Teresa Olson was selected as writer of the year. Jim Daley and Joe Guinan initiate some (lucky?)

Skiiers Went To Crescent Aspen, Colorado was a long way off for skiing each Thursday so Miss Penny Basehore decided on the ''Crescent Bluffs'' instead of the Colorado Rockies. Skiiers didn't care if it was 2 below zero and there was no snow, since snow was scientifically manufactured for the Crescent slopes. Pretty scarves, bright knit caps, expensive shoes and skiis made skiing a "rich" sport with a Ski Lodge and all the accessoies. Chess Men Concentrate Mr. Kelly Scott has sponsored the Chess Club for two years. Although the membership was'· small the competition was keen. _ Chess is no ''Mickey Mouse'' ~ game! Checks, pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, kings and queens called for concentration and high L Q. to win. The main thing to remember was that the Queen was all-powerful. (Such is Women's Liberation!)

Members presented Mr. Beeson, their injured sponsor, with a gift of money but their main contri - bution was to visit him each day in the hospital. Twelve of the membership attended a week- long summer conference at Estes Park where a thousand boys engaged in calisthenics, worship services and "huddle" groups each day. ''Miniature Olympics'' were held in the afternoons. Gene Armstrong, John Brooke and Ron Beeson, sponsors, cordially invite other athletes to join the name of Jesus Christ.

Yearbooking was the weaving of a unique tapestry pattern with each individual adding his own design. Woven material consists of the woof and the warp. Miss Erva Huck and Mr: Woody Clarke provided the woof. (They yelled a lot.) Steve Nazum provided the warp. (He took three months to make the football pages.) Zig-zag stitches were woven in by John Marshall, who frustrated Miss Huck, and Sally Andersen, who dropped four stitches. Interesting designs were woven by Suzi Roe and her ''Bomb'' in the Homecoming Parade and Miss Huck, who "took it all off" in an innocent game at the Christmas party.

The class was quizzed on capitals, cities, and lakes. Using Spanish in everyday life was important because the class wrote, spoke, and thought in Spanish. Right gang? Dialogues and suµimaries were not as hard as trying to understand native speakers on tape. Songs and poems were the merrier ways of learning about Spanish culture and for vocabulary building in class. Mr. Lara's stories about his trip to Mexico added to the interest of each class. German students study a German magazine for fun. German students began the study of new books under Mrs. Peggy Rodriguez. First-year classes learned four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension. All German classes used a German magazine to learn about present-day Germany.

At least she was on her toes when she was not absent with mono or some strange sleeping sickness. New events were introduced in the State Speech Contest. These included Readers Theatre and Choral Reading along with many individual events. There were I-ratings in Duet Acting, Choral Reading , Readers Theatre, One-Act Play, and nine I's in individual events.

These teachers brought with them the concept of Children's Theatre which allowed the students to both direct and perform plays especially suited for younger audiences.

"For brunettes only," cackles the Mad Hatter (Marty Polson) to a shocked Alice (Paula Scarpellino). " Leave me alone you dumb rabbit," demands Tracy Ebert of a pleading Bill Harris. As a cooperative effort of the two Advanced Drama Classes, Children's Theatre was viewed by the elementary school "kids" of Council Bluffs. Only one rule prevailed: " No parents unless accompanied by a child." Two packed houses loved the idea of being led through the rabbit hole by storybook characters, being greeted by Happy the Cl9wn (alias Mr. John Gibson), and finally the play ''Alice in Wonderland". Following the play, autographs were given by the cast to the many children in attendance. "Alice" was also taken on "tour" to the Woodson Center in South Omaha for the enter - tainment of the underprivileged children of the area. 116 Seniors Have Three Trig Teachers Math and science courses continued to confuse and frus - trate students with their complexity. Biology, chemistry, and physics classes were dominated by lectures, laboratory reports, and the dreaded standardized tests. New courses offered in the Science Department included botany, zoology, and advanced chemistry. Those enrolled in math courses had the usual amount of trouble understanding formulas and functions, sines and story problems, proofs and planes. Trigonometry students suffered the additional burden of having to adjust to three different teachers during the year: Mr. Ron Beeson, Mrs. Caroline Swartz, and Mr. Chuck Collins. A new computer course, taught by Mr. Beeson, was introduced the spring quarter as a seminar course for seniors. This was a pilot·course which if successful will be offered for credit in 1972-1973.

Kuester - Johnson - Moxley - - three men who had as a daily menu problems to solve and changes to consider and inc or - porate in the total school program. Leather-chair jobs may mean big money, but they also mean many headaches. A.L.'s principals are a composite mixture of old-fashioned ideas tempered by the changing times. They may be ''three men in a tub'' , but they think they are afloat on a tranquil sea compared to other schools. Just ask them! No riots, no r ebellions, no sit-ins, minor vandalism, good attendance , good attitudes, and a relaxed atmosphere were the result of these three gentlemen inculcating the faculty with ''gentle understanding of youth''. 12 1 '. 122 Main Office "Where's iny redflarepen?" ''Add 5 detentions to Chris Christensen's card, will you please?" "May I have your attention please? Your attention please." "Laura, I believe you're making a habit of getting up late every morning.'' ''Give her 3 more detentions,'' booms Mr. Don Moxley. Guidance Department ''I think I'll sign up for this speaker. I' 11 get out of English.'' ''What did I get on my ACT?" "Yech, I did lousy in Math." "Oh, please Mrs. Fritz, I gotta get out of art- - I can't make it." "No way am I taking chemistry again -after last year? No Way!'' Interrelated Offices Mrs. Marge Sheely shows Nancy Knox how to operate the copying machine. Guidance Department Greg Bean, a. West Point cadet, tells about the good points of army life. Richar d Schoeppner, Romola Fritz, George Lindsay, Gwanetha Metz , Bess Pappas Operate Big Business "Checking out at 9:30, Ron? " jokes Mrs. Kay McKern as Becky Olsen grins at the transaction. " Grandma, " questions Ellen Maher, " could I have three r ubber bands for English?" "Say now, Mary," remarks Mrs. Phyliss Hilder. You scat! " "Rats!" exclaims Mrs. " B" Williams. " I got $37 .50 last time and $42.32 this time' ' 123 124 In the cafeteria's new bake shop, the cooks baked rolls and bread for 29 other schools besides A.L. Five cooks baked almost 130, 000 rolls: cinnamon, hot cross and just plain rolls. Furthermore , they baked the bread and buns for breakfast and lunch. Lucky Custodians All the custodians were blessed by the weatherman .. No snow! Be not misled. They earned their money running snakes ihrough the plumbing and draining the basement for three days when the cir - culating pumps froze and burst. Three weeks of basketball tournaments meant tons of coke cups and gobs of gum and candy wrappers. School would be a heck of a mess without the custodians.

' These comments from sophomores were a fair index of sophomore impressions. ' 'Basketball and football games were real exciting and the plays were great. Some sophomores even had parts in Carousel." These remarks came from sophomores interested in extra- curricular activities. "You have to study more. A's are harder to get. There are more discussions in class.'' Sophomore scholars rated A.L . "tough" in the academic area. Watch the class of 1974! As athletes they have set records in their sophomore year which will make A.L . winners in succeeding years. " Beware of the Class of '74. It will accomplis~ more and more!'' Officers PRESIDENT . ... Mike O'Bradovich VICE-PRESIDENT . . . . . . Jerry Collier SECRET ARY . . Barµbi Rettig TREASURER . . Roger Adams SGT. AT ARMS . .

On October 22, 1971, Mr. Ron Beeson fell from a ladder. Paralyzed from the waist down, Mr. Beeson' s future was grim. However, with never-ending spirit, faith, and hours of therapy, he returned to school after five months. Meanwhile the students of A.L. were not idle. Several bake sales were held, as well as a door-to-door fund- raising drive. Highlighting the ac - tivities was the Minnesota Vikings- Koil Goodguys basketball game which netted $3688 for the fund, raising the total to over $5185. Upon his return to school, Mr. Beeson began teaching a computer programming course in which students learned how to operate computers. Because this is such a relevant subject, the course will be offered in 1972-1973. Up, up and away! Back The Minnesota Vikings warm up for the onslaught. "Fred Astaire" Brooke and " Ginger Rogers " Kelsen show 'em how. It was a fun night for the Beeson family at the Viking-Goodguys game. 179 College At Discount Hard work and outstanding efforts were · rewarded at the Honors Banquet where "honor" students and their parents were guests.

Miss Erva Hucklesberry To make our 900 copies of the ''Crimson and Blue'', many people gave their dedicated help. First, we would like to thank Walsworth Publishing Company in Marceline, Missouri for printing our book. Next, we would like to thank Mr. Joe Cupp, account executive, and Mr. Paul Magnin, our company representative. A well-deserved "thank you" goes to the Pyles, Harding and Canon Studios for being so prompt with class portraits. Of course, we can't forget Mr. Kenneth Kuester, our principal, who gave us so much support (emotionally and financially). Producing a yearbook is a more difficult task than meets the eye. Staff members must learn to draw effective layouts, crop pictures in an interesting manner, and write copy which someone besides the author will enjoy reading. It requires a great amount of time and energy to put these talents together to make a book, but seeing the final product makes it all worthwhile. It is with great enthusiasm and a hope for your appreciation that we present the "Crimson and Blue" to the students and faculty of Abr aham Lincoln High School of Council Bluffs, Iowa. Our deepest gratitude is extended to Miss Erva Huckleeberry, our hard-working advisor, and to Mr. Woody Clarke, who put in night after night of overtime to take, develop, and print our pictures. Also ''thank you to Mr. Clyde Cline who was a · great asset to Woody. Kathie Oamek, Editor 207 Behind us a gate is locked to forever close the tapestry of our past. Let's now use the knowledge we've gained to secure our future. m 2 08 WALSWORTH M~rcc lin f'. ~1o . l S.A Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The two main leads, Harold Hill, Jr., played by Roger Adams, and Marian Paroo, played by Mary Larsen, were juniors. Young children were included in the cast. Each townsperson was assigned an elementary child and was responsible for teaching that child the songs. Harold Hill's band consisted of boys and girls from Kirn Jr. High School. Music Man was a memorable experience which the cast will always remember! b a c a . Don't you dare come another step closer!" warns Mary Larsen to Roger Adams. b .

"Up the Down Stair-·. case". showed the problems which a new teacher in a New York slum school had. Virginia Thomsen portrayed Sylvia Barritt, a young teacher who tried too hard and got too involved with her students. Ellen Keister was Alice Blake, who had a crush on her teacher, Paul Barring·er, played by Roger Hansen. Ellen, who committed b ''Staircase'' suicide, and who had multiple problems, imparted serious moments to the play. These were offset by Becky Lane, Mitra Massih, and Matt Kull who placed humorous suggestions in the "Suggestion Box." It was a unique production even though the rehearsal time · was short.

's Drama Department closed its seaso.n with the rock ballet "Tommy". Never before had such a production been shown on any Council Bluffs stage. One of the most exciting elements of the show was the set. Stagecraft class worked many hours glueing tiny pieces of broken mirrors to walls and a large ball. Lighting effects added new dimensions to the show. Mike Simpson portrayed Tommy, the blind, deaf-mute who escaped his early years by becoming an expert at the pin-ball machine.

Cinderella, played by Debbie Nelsen, won her Prince in spite of her mean stepsisters and stepmother played by Maureen Derby, Karen Coale and Mary Brown. Mike Simpson portrayed the Prince, and · was supported by Drew Peterson, his side-kick. Penny Stancliff e was a sweet fairy godmother. Children in the audience were fascinated by the pumpkin coach and the floating slipper and dress. Dan Christensen and Jack Mahrt were Galafron and Curdkin, two new characters.

"Outstanding Speaker Mark Peters" 35 Echoes uses offset printing Co-editors Lynn Falkenhainer and Jim Daley stimulated the Echoes Staff to experiment with several types of formats and design. Staff members cooperated well on the new ideas. In many issues, art work replaced the conventional news copy on the front page. The staff rearranged the editorial, feature stories and sports pages from time to time. This ability to change format and design was a result of off set printing instead of tlie usual a be an easier method of printing the paper but this was not true. Headlines were extremely difficult and most time consuming. Also, offset was supposed to be a less expensive method, but this wasn't true either! However, the new method· had one terrific good point: flexibility. c b a. Edith Gawara and Susie Eilts give a stern reprimand to Joni Richardson and Rhonda Lake for the mistakes in their Echoes' copy. b.

Editors Barb Kelly and Mike Simpson work diligently to meet yearbook deadlines. b. Barb Robinson is both surprised and plea sed at t he going-away-party given her by the Crimson and Blue Staff. c. "I know t hat wrestling copy is here somewhere," t hinks Cindy LeMast er. Place a picture here ; put a splash of color there; add a block of copy and another page layout is finished. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Far from it! Although these were some of the techniques employed in producing a yearbook, there is more to it than "meets the eye" as anyone on the staff could tell you. Beginning with a piece of rough draft paper proved to be more difficult than it seemed, as ideas sometimes looked better in one's head than on paper. Crimson and Blue sales rose to 920 copies with sale days in November, December and January. Prices increased from $6 to $8 as the months passed. In fact, last-minute buyers were forced to pay _$10. c 37 3 8 • McCall ZS called queen September 22! Homecoming was off to an early start-four weeks from the beginning of school to be exact. Net result: No Homecoming Parade even though there were many decorated cars, jeeps, trucks, and convertibles in a car rally before the game! Long "black" dresses were the fashion for the Cheerleaders and Porn Pon girls during the week. They wept through the cafeteria and mourned for the Benson Bunnies' slaughter. Two b bunny cakes were presented to the team, hoping they would "Chomp on the Bunnies," but all failed. Benson High pounced on the Lynx 40 to 21. Halftime was memorable when the band made a heart formation for the excited attendants. Then, along with everyone else, it waited for the fireworks to see whose name would appear.

The game was ouer. No uictory had been won. His eyes burned because the fury behind . • them was compelling. 46 He pictured in his mind that ruthless ·enemy-· .. the opponent. Had the wretch not been so greedy or ambitious, or proud and confidentperhaps their roles would haue been reuersed. This last player, who sought the glory of winning, felt the pangs of defeat. In his stomach burned the bitter fruit of hatred. The enemy had conquered him. Who was this brutal enemy? He was not the opponent. He was ambition, greed, pride and ouerconfidenceinuisible forces which had crept up behind and strangled the throat of sportsmanship. COUNTERACTION \.

Any spectator, watching a regular game, saw the hustle, excitement and desire these boys generated throughout the season.

Vitamin "C" tablets soon became an important supplement in a swimmer's diet. Treading water from early defeats, seven members of the team made a big splash at their first District Meet. Swimming double their usual distances proved successful in turning the tide toward several Lynx victories. Sue Hilburn and Anne Gross both earned points by placing 12th in the 50-yard freestyle and 100- yard breaststroke, respectively.

Between the 6:30 morning practices and running basketball drills, the girls had some rough times. There was fun also! One morning in February, the girls presented Mr. Beasley with a surprise birthday cake accompanied by ice cream and pop. What a breakfast! Melinda Sigler was awarded "Outstanding Forward" in the Christmas tournament. Laurie Amend was a big contributor to the team as she averaged over 25 points a game. Although the J.

It wasn't unusual for a game to be cancelled, or to play a week of make-up games. A. L.'s "Nine" had a notable weakness: inexperience. Coach Holland elected to have six sophomores on the Varsity Team. They responded well to Varsity pressures with Dave Kruse leading them. At the time this copy went to press, Dave was leading the city in batting at a .615 pace. Others who showed poise were Jim Neely and Johnny Barber.

Gallant young gentlemen, dressed in black tuxedoes, stepped from them. Each young man graciously opened the car door to assist his date of the evening. Dressed in mink and ermine, the ladies made their way to the entrance. Carefully they held their escort's arm so that they would not trip on the long trains of their sequined gowns. The first couple arrived at the entrance. As the dashing man reached to open the doo~ he found it locked. Amazed, he struggled with the lock and chain which held it shut. Soon many couples had gathered around the door. Each tried to open it. It seems the meeting had been canceled. SOLIDARITY 94 Thes.e three clubs stayed lllive ¥-Teens, a service organization which serves the community, had 12 active members. A big event was a field trip to Des Moines accompanied by sponsors, .. Mrs. Dorthea Day and Mrs. Leona Heaps. FHA had 30 active members who met every other Monday. Two of their activities were the Spring Style Show and the collection of $120 for the POW's. FSA, an organization to promote secretarial knowledge, played an important role in the b lives of 35 girls. A money-making project was the sale of Christmas candles. Diane Bradley proved to be eligible for a scholarship of $2,000 for a secretarial degree at a college of her choice, while Debra Hoden won the Future Secretary of the Year Award.

Even though the memberships were smaller, the clubs didn't lose all their strength. Spanish Club was often confused with a gourmet club, when it went to eat at foreign restaurants and topped the first semester off with a Christmas b pinata. French Club also enjoyed eating, so it had a fondue party, even drank grape juice which came in champagne bottles under pressure.

One thing happened for sure at every meeting-everybody drank pop and ate cookies. Sometimes a film was shown and other times members studied the Bible. One morning the athletes went to a breakfast at the Hilton where Tom Osborne, new football coach at Nebraska, was the honoree. During the year, the members sold shirts and participated in a marathon run around Bayliss Park. Each member solicited sponsors who paid so much for each time around the park.

''Thank you to the managers'' Managing is a most unappreciated job, but managers are a very important part of every sport! So are statisticians. Most coaches would be lost without a manager. Peter "Foggy" Smith has been managing since the 8th grade. "Thank you, Peter, for your years of dedicated service." Assisting Peter were Chris Laustrup and Gary Schwarzenbach in football, and Charlie Tefft in basketball. Statisticians deserve a "thank you" also.

We share this course common to all American children. Three wise educators argued once. One said that there could be no schools without teachers and sothey are the most important. Another said that there could be no schools without students and so they are the most important. The third, the wisest, said that there could be no schools without knowledge. We could not speak, nor write, nor understand without knrwledge. Indeed, knowledge is the most important.

The first suspect, Kenneth Kuester is the ringleader of this notorious trio. He is the man at the top who issues orders to his two cohorts. Chances to see the boss-man are cut down as his duties include administrative problems outside the building and meetings at the Central Office. (Don't be fooled-t his man has his finger on everybody and everything.) A second suspect is seldom seen but his voice is heard daily through a mysterious device known as the intercom. Athletic functions and all student activities are known to be his main racket. Thurman Johnson is his professional name. Suspect No. 3 is famous for causing mysterious disappearances of students for three days. Any close contact with the accused can only mean serious consequences for the youthful culprits.

Each student, equipped with desk earphones and a small electronic box, practiced his dictation from a tape at his own required speed. One new instructor, Mr. William Hughes, taught sales, business law and bookkeeping. He was a newcomer to the present A. L. but taught this field years ago in the old A. L. "Hola, Bonjour, Gu ten Tag." These are just three ways to say "hello" in foreign languages. But in the Spanish, French, and German classes you learn more than to say "hello". You learn about the culture of the country and to speak the language fluently. The third year Frerich class did something special this year.

We were aware that we would soon enter into our world. This was the world which we were constructing for our future and for the futures of others. These thoughts reminded us that it was the end of the beginning for us. As we reminisced, we realized what delightful times were fading into the past. But as we looked ahead, we saw new concepts opening their doors to us. This gave us a foundation for our class motto which said: "Some men see things as they are and ask why. We dream things that never were and say why not?" Are we to let these opening doors close again in our faces or venture through them? OFFICERS PRESIDENT .... Mark Steege VICE-PRESIDENT .......... .

He bound them together. He inserted smaller limbs between them to form a ladder. With this ladder leaning against the walls which led to immortality, man began to climb.

The young man boldly declared that through sight all knowledge and beauty were reuealed. The ref ore, sigh fl was by far the more important of the senses The old man, who had lost his sight years earlier, became impatient with the young p ilosopher. "Truly young man, you can't appreciate sight because you haue neuer known a world without it." "I am blind but through my eyes I see. I can dfstinguish beauty from ugliness, soft from hard, and hot from cold. You touch someone eueryday. A smile or a frown. a tear or laughter- they all touch people in a certain place--the heart."

Basketball > -I :c rm -I - n ~ 13 b c 14/ Varsily Football Gridders aim · for • wins With the return of a strong backfield and a scrappy defense, it looked like it would be a fruitful year for Coach Don Hinkle, but the grapes turned sour as his gridders ran into a tough National Division and came out of the demanding competition with a 3-5-1 record. Aerial ace and All-City quarterback Paul Crane showed composure as he steadily guided the offense all season long, and more often than not one would find John Wickman making some spectacular catches from Crane's tosses. When the air game wasn't moving, the speed and moves of All-City halfbacks John Barber and Tom Carrithers kept the defense honest. In addition, good showings were also made by Jim Conley, Jay Svoboda, Terry Cooper, and Mark Lorenzen, as they were aided by their decisive and determined teammates. All-City linebacker Jerry Rounds led the defense, even though he sat out the last two games with a knee injury. Chasing Rounds on the tackle charts was gutty halfback Jim Wright, along with halfbacks Carrithers, Wickman, and Jim Chapman. Defensive line play was highlighted by Jay Svoboda, Mike Shrader, Rod Jensen, Mark Lorenzen, and Jim Petersen. d a. Jim Wright adjusts the defense. b.

Coach Emsick had to rely heavily on junior grapplers Mike Renteria, Mark Shearer, John Hough.

Three outstanding grapplers were produced throughout the course of the season. Senior Rod Jensen compiled a 19-7 record, junior Mike Renteria 20-8 and sophomore Mike Shrader 10-10.

June commanded as captain in the back court and Laurie instructed as captain in the forward court.

Ever wonder how the peppy. smiling, and spirited cheerleaders were recruited? Cheerleaders were selected from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes to make up the varsity squad. The final squad consisted of nine sophomores, six juniors, and eight seniors. Spirit-stuffed lovely ladies went to the annual cheerleading camp at Lake Okoboji, Iowa. There they were awarded the Spirit Stick and won other various awards for enthusiasm, personality, and charm. Besides cheering and winning awards, these industrious young ladies held a bake sale to raise funds to help pay for their uniforms. Mrs. Carol Tiller, new sponsor, directed these activities. b a.

Each member added her own sparkle to all home football and basketball games by doing "her own thing." Patriotic outfits of red, white and blue put a little "pazzazz" in each jazzy dance. During the summer, fifteen members attended camp in Lincoln, Nebraska. For their hard efforts, they won two third-place ribbons and in final competition, they placed second. Many unique da~ces were taught which helped the girls progress through the football and basketball seasons. At 7 o'clock each morning of the fall, the Porn Pon girls practiced, trudging through the mud with the band during thl;? football season. No early practices were n1issed except for illness or for a parental excuse. A demerit system was enforced by Mrs. Christensen, and a new constitution with a rnociern view-point was approved.

The cheerleaders, Porn Pon girls, Pep Club, and athletes blew bubble guin, pulled ropes, and promoted other spirit producing activities. After all the fun and games were over, the school song was sung with a majority of the students using their pep to make it the best.

Experiences included swimming in the ocean, church services in the oldest Christian Church on the island, walking on Waikiki Beach at night and a Singapore Sling!?!? a.

With a little twist and turn, Tom and Jan Semple arranged to have the same office hour. Next, hundreds of white room passes were stolen over a September weekend. Then a quota of passionate pink passes were printed, but they ran out the first of December. Second semester passes were turquoise which cooked the culprits of the white passes. With truckload after truckload of intellectuals entering Abraham Lincoln High School each year, the guidance counselors never allowed a single shipment to spoil. Therefore, they contacted each student three or four times instead of twice. All in all, the counselors kept the wheels rolling. To aid the students, several counselors undertook the new procedure of discussing college and work related topics in the science lecture hall. a . a.

There were double lines for jet lunches and for hot lunches. It took five minutes or less to get one's food thus leaving plenty of time to eat it. Paper sacks were scarce and expensive, so Burger Town took advantage of these points and furnished boxes at a reduced rate. While packing boxed lunches. the cooks dreamed of more work area, more storage room, and a walk-in cooler and freezer. (A.l. students dreamed of a milk-shake machine like T.J. had but there was a shortage of electricity.) Catering service was provided for two schools instead of four. Guess what? b Ice cream was legal and the cooks made between 1,000 and 1,500 cookies a da'y for the Abraham Lincoln students. CUSTODIAL ST AFf Mr. Harlin Hurd, Mr. John Ramsey, Mr. Carl Frascht, Mrs. Della Esslinger, and Miss Pat Ryan joined the custodial staff bringing the total to fourteen employees. Mr. Fred Christensen, head custodian, reported that eleven windows were broken the first two months of the school year. A new type of glass called plexiglass was used for replacement. (Plexiglass is allergic to breakage?!) Chris was a favorite with the students because he went to school with their parents. a.

Cooks and Custodians/ 119 IJO/ Administrators School Boa rd challenged by bond issue l Dr. Leonard Gregory, superintendent of schools, and the Council Bluffs School Board were challenged by a new, yet old, situation-the condition of Harrison, Madison, Avenue B, and Dodge Schools. During the fall, a bond issue of over seven million dollars for the construction of new schools was presented to the voters, and was defeated. C"}>ponents to the bond issue cited that busing pupils from the closed schools and the size of the bond issue were major obstacles to obtaining approval. During the struggle between the voters and the School Board, the Iowa Fire Marshal investigated the debatable buildings: net resultbuildings are still in use. The fate of the buildings will be determined when the bond issue is presented to the voters again. a. First Row: Mr. Gordon Ord, Mr. Raymond Uhlhorn, Mr. Ward Bean, Mr. Thomas Thompson.

Times have changed, since now the quadratic formula can be solved in minutes and everyone knows that H20 is water. To further advance the students' knowledge, teachers such as chemistry teachers Mrs. Christine Fink and Mr. Dennis Schmoker, and math teachers Mr. Orville Miller and Miss Erva Huckleeberry used individualized methods in their classes. This program was successful. Mr. Ron Beeson secured a key-punch machine for computer-minded students. Since a pilot course was successful last year, a semester course on computer programming was added to the curriculum. Advanced chemistry classes were really with it. They dealt with environmental problems to the extent that they performed experiments on recycling aluminum cans. (Watch it! The new pennies may be made from recycled A.L. cans.) b a.

Members of this class began in the fall to build a house located at 18th Street and Avenue G. Things hummed in the Shop Department with the addition of Mr. Craig Tindall to assist Mr. Ron Holland in Metal Shop. Mr. Richard Buchanan was appointed as head of Building Construction at the Career Center. Sewing machines were also busy while advanced sewing classes stitched their way through many plays. Boys finally achieved their own status in the Horne Economics Department in a class called Bachelor Foods. Here boys learned to appreciate the meals their mothers prepared for them.

The clutch was depressed, she shifted down, and slammed on the brakes. But she did not forget to signal left, honk her horn, and swerve to the left all at the same time.

"And you thought I couldn't do itl" a From petite, swirly movements to "jiven out" with some hard rock, the senior girls generated a large amount of activity while Miss Basehore taught them the background of a unit of modern dance. Junior girls and senior boys can no longer relish the idea of being able to skip, hop, bop, twist, and twirl to the delightful rhythmic tu.nes of "Barbara Ann" and "She's Too Fat For Me." With the departure of "The Oldie Hits" went Mr. Robert Hobbs and Coach John Brooke, who took on the challenge of being head football coach at Treynor. Sophomores weren't the only new faces. Coach Phil Nielsen made a grand entrance as physical education teacher and junior varsity basketball coach; also, Mr. Don Hinkle introduced the weight program to the sophomores. By any chance, is Coach hoping for more masculinity at A.L.? With the teachers this year, "physical" had a more flexible meaning, each having his own little ache, pain, bruise, stitch or illness. 136 MUG SHOTSThe annual EXCHANGE: Write silly phrases- "T o one of the NICEST people I know" Wallets JAMMED with old pictures 13 years of mugs gone by GOLLY GEE!

Exciting courses like drama, biology. zoology. typing, and "touching" under the stairs were benefits of a broad curriculum. Driver's licenses gave many sophomores a wider world even though they startled pedestrains and toppled mailboxes. Trips to town were at a minimum except for those who had fast wheels at lunch time. Breakfast was not new but it seemed to be a "high" social event of each day. Some sophomores had two breakfasts-one at home and one at school. Those who ate at school only had fifteen minutes more to sleep in the morning. Rubber bands, paper wads, thumbtacks, and paper airplanes were earmarks of a sophomore class room. Oh, yes- some sophomore girls had senior boyfriendsa coveted prize of the sophomore year.

A time when man suddenly awoke from a lifestyle of increasing, and many times wasteful, energy consumption. And when he awoke to decreasing fuel and energy supplies. he took a positive step and entered the age of energy conservatio;i. It will be noted as a time when it became as important to use existing energy supplies wisely, as to find and develop new and alternate sources. That's why at Iowa Power, we think practicing energy conservation, like insulating your house well, is so important. Important because we don't think it makes sense for any of us to use or pay for more energy than we really need. At Iowa Power. it's our responsibility to provide adequate supplies of energy. It's your responsibility not to waste any of it. Phone 32 2-0267 Good Luck And Best Wishes '74' 03 C. E.

Touching other lives teaches a sense of awareness. The barrier that blocks reality, that forces lives to be lived in a glass cage, can be broken. Doors can be opened. A touch of empathy is needed to break down that wall. Togetherness can't be explained by verbs, nouns, or adjectives. It's more than a thought, feeling, or state of being. Through athletics, participating as a player or a spectator; or activities, as a leader or a joiner; students can build A.L. into a school that has spirit, pride ... and togetherness. For a few days during the tournament basketball games, the spirit of competition could be sensed within the student body. Enthusiasm could be heard at the Pep Assemblies, seen during the games, and felt in every corner of school. This year brought many kinds of victory; the biggest being in a battle between the apathetic and the involved. Those active enough to become involved, cared enough to give a darn. l _ l m WALSWORTH Marceline, Mo., .S.A.

The defense allowed only Bellevue to score a touchdown in the first five games of the season. The linebacking corps was capably handled by Hoden and two way starters Frank Rash and Bob Williams. While opposing quarterbacks feared this threesome, they also had to contend with the hard rushing of All-Metro defensive end Jim "Rocky" Petersen. In addition, All-Metro John "Burrhead" Behrens and All-City junior Scott Bomgaars thwarted passing attacks all season from their safety spots. The tenth ranked Lynx ran the popular wishbone offense and was led in the backfield by fullbacks Bill Behm and Jim Neely plowing up the middle and quarterbacks Jim Chapman and Scott Bomgaars pitching to All-Metro halfback John Barber and sophomore John Wright who churned out yardage to the outside. When Chapman and Bomgaars decided to pass, the aerials were usually snatched by Barber or senior end Fred Marsh. A fine offensive line gave the quarterbacks time to pass, and they were praised by Coach Hinkle as some of the finest blockers he's had. This group was led by tackle Dan Meyer, guard Matt Atherton. and center Rick Reeves. All three were placed on the All-City team. The Lynx finished first in Southwest Iowa, tenth in State, and third in the Metro with a 6-2-1 record. The season will be remembered as one of the most exciting with upset victories over highly touted South (7-0 ) and Prep ( 9-3) and the Halloween tie with Nebraska's number one Benson (6-6). a.

Tom Backhuus, Floyd Price, and Scott Thomas were the workhorses in the backfield, grinding out yardage up the middle, while Bill Simmons showed off his dazzling speed and cat-like moues on the outside. The field general of the little Lynx was Eric Dix and his strong passing arm which got his troops out of many a hole. Just because the line was small doesn't mean they didn't do a fine job. Jody Sidebottom led the sophomore's line from his of fensiue tackle spot seldomly getting beat and opening gaping holes in the opponent's lines. Defensiuely the little Lynx were also uery strong. The linebacking corps were led by the talents of Darwin Nuzum, Tony Leazenby, and Randy Lambert. All three were credited with well ouer half the "sticks" on defense. Coming up from his defensiue halfback spot, Bart Jones contributed many tackles. Late in the season Jerry Riggs also did an outstanding job at safety. a.

Juniors worked many hard hours to get the decorations which took them on numerous trips to Brandeis, Ex-eels and to other stores in West Omaha. Junior class officers, sponsors, and all the students who uolunteered their time did a fantastic job of decorating the gymnasium with crepe paper and balloons to construct a large, creatiue archway walk leading into the ballroom. The Prom king and queen were announced by Neal Spence. This was immediately followed by many balloons being dropped from the center of the scoreboard by Craig Formanek. From 8 until midnight was a time to remember with the Smith Brothers Band, Mr. Hill's mink stole, some of the Beat/e's music, and doorman Bart Jones opening the limousine doors.

As usual "Wild Bill" Beasley led the sophomore boys through the drudgery of gymnastics and then broke them into his patented Beasley ball league. The upperclassmen participated in the fall in "Fleetball," a game that somewhat resembles flag football, and other games such as basketball, golf, and softball later in the year. The girls also had a variety of activities in which to participate. They went through sessions in tennis, volleyball, archery, and gymnastics, but many quizes and tests spoiled some of the fun for the girls. All in all, the '74-'75 school year was an exciting one from the Physical Education Department, and most sophomores and juniors are looking forward to next year's gym classes. ( Ha- ha.) a.

Edm·at1011 151 We, the seniors of Abraham Lincoln High School look to the future with optimism and confidence because of the growing knowledge and sense of inquiry which has been presented to us by all our contacts during the past three years. We also look to the future to present new and uaried challenges. Some, we expect will not be easily faced, but we will meet them with effort. Most importantly we will meet these challenges as indiuiduals and deal with them honestly. Our class motto, "The higher the climb, the broader the uiew," means something uery special for each of us. Yet it indicates for all that of all our goals, they need to haue meaning. Some goals will be within easy reach while others will seem almost too distant to attain. But we will striue for these goals to test ourselues, and in the end be much better for the challenge. To gain insight and self-knowledge may well also be this classes' Motto The higher the climb, the broader the uiew. Colors Crimson and Blue Flower White Rose motto. . ... . '.,.

Alton and Mr. Michael Winchester to the School Board. The pair ran as a team against four other candidates. Mr. Winchester, a 1975 graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School, was the second eighteen-year-old elected to the Board. Two years ago Mr. Michael O' Bradovich was elected to the School Board at eighteen years of age. Of the major educational concerns in Council Bluffs, City Council member Dorothy Strohbehn proposed a measure to preserve Dodge Elementary School o n Third Street as a city historical museum. This came in lieu of School Board proposals to level several elementary schools. Mrs. Strohbehn recommended that the city take over the school property to insure the retention of the city's educational history. Winchester.

The cooks, for example, were a lways in a rush while fixing breakfast to get ready for lunch . To prepare everyone for a hearty meal, Student Cou ncil president Brian Bergquist a nnounced the lunch menu in addition to the daily an nouncements during homeroom. This yea r's staggered lunches made it much easier a nd faster for everyone to be served. The "Greybunch" was always work ing on something. Whether it was the st udent lounge a rea, the halls, or the gymn asium after a game or dance, they were there to lend assistance.

Activities highlight Homecoming Porn Pon girls do a little dance during Homecoming halftime. Homecoming activities started the third week in September with a lively parade of approximately two dozen brightly colored floats passing through downtown Council Bluffs to Bayliss Park. Floats included those from FHA, the German and French Clubs, Cheerleaders and Porn Pon girls, Booster Club, and the foreign exchange student Eli Ghersi. A pep assembly at the park followed. Then on that Friday evening AL played the South High Packers, and the Homecoming queen was crowned. To conclude events Kickin provided the music for the dance in the gymnasium. Homecoming/ 43 School spirit was activated by enthusiastic athletic supporters during the varied and numerous pep assemblies. With unusual skits and amusing routines, cheerleaders and other participants led the crowd in voicing their approval. Some of the pep rally highlights were as follows: cheerleaders constructed a house with the coaches as furniture, and for the assembly at Christmas time Mike Shrader dressed as Santa and threw candy to the crowd. Later in the year, Coach Jim Decker won the best legs contest and was awarded a garter. In another instance, Assistant Principals Earl Graff and Don Moxley threw footballs to th~ crowd. A tug of war was also enacted between athletes, but there was no winner because the rope broke during the tug of war. 44/Pep Rallies Pep rallies enthuse students Athletes learn how lo boogie at a pep assembly. Students get ready for the Turkey Day race, as teachers and students give encouragement to the contestants. Cheerleaders shuck uniforms and porn pons to dress up as farmers to entertain the crowd.

"Swing yo ur pa rtn er .. .," says Andrew Carnes (Tim Be rgquist) during the hodown. An actor searches the set. " Which one o f you dares to tangl e with me?" yells Aunt Eller. "Oklahoma" was the Abraham Lincoln High School fall production for 1975-1976. The musical was based on the book How Green the Lilies Gro w, and the music was composed by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III. "Oklahoma" was a romantic story-the setting being the settlement and attaining of statehood for the Oklahoma territory. It was the love story of Laurie, Curly, and Jud, the man who tried to come between them. In the end, however, Laurie and Curly were married, Oklahoma became a state, and everyone lived happily every after. Many people were involved in this musical production. The stage crew worked diligently in the construction of a fine set. The costumes were fashioned to portray the color and environment of the early Oklahoma territory and times. Rogt:r Jensen tells Jim Currie good-bye. Mu ical/ 49 For the first time a melodrama was presented at AL by the Drama department with the portrayal of nineteenth century characters in J. Frank Davis's "Gold in the Hills or the Dead Sister's Secret." The play directed by Mr. James Mimick contained all the qualities of the old time drama-the narrator played by Jim Currie, incidental music played by Sharon Reasoner, and the essential characters. Diligent work from the actors was necessary as many of the comical scenes had to be seriously portrayed. This was the story of a heroine, Claudia Webster, and her happy family. She was to marry the hero, Jim Thorn; however, along came the dashing and debonair villain, Brian Bergquist. The joyful family soon became unhappy when the villain promised to foreclose the mortgage. But the dead sister's secret allowed a happy ending to the play. CAST Lizzi e Jones .. . .... Laurie Williams Barbara Stanley .. ... . . . Kim Rock Hiram Stanley .. · ... . . .

School Play/ 53 Christmas . swings Sweetfield provided the entertainment for the 1975 American Field Service Christmas dance. Some of the music played by Sweetfield was selected from the following: The Eagles, KC and the Sunshine Boys and other top groups. Large silver letters spelled out this year's theme of JOY TO THE WORLD. Other decorations included large multicolored crepe paper Christmas trees at the far ends of the gymnasium. There were also large red bells hanging from the ceiling and red, blue and green lights along both sides of the gymnasium walls. On the wall at the entrance was a set of multi-colored lights strung around the crepe paper trees. Enthusiasm abounded. The enthusiasm was created by the good music, good company, and the thought of a long vacation. Sponsors • lll with Sweetfield for the dance were Mrs. Lucille Hoffman, Miss Deborah Kleinschmidt and Mr. Steve Swee. Sweetfield brings joy to the 1975 AFS Christmas dance.

Mrs. Linda McDowell during her first year as a newspaper super- · visor thought that the change from a newspaper to a news magazine would be "More interesting than the old stuff' and that this would also "reach the students." A small staff of only eight writers didn't make the change any easier to make, either. Mrs. McDowell commented that they "worked hard to get as much copy as there was" and that she "learned a great deal and enjoyed it very much ." The staff for next year, she said, would probably be twice as large-with more writers and artists. And the newspaper would be even better next year.

Records sometimes can be deceiving as was the case with this year's junior varsity team. Gridders improved as the season progressed. And many individuals were moved up to the varsity squad during the course of the season which presented a problem come game time. Another reason for not playing as well as they might have was due to having to share their practice time with the varsity team. Outstanding players on the team were juniors Kelly Sigler, Dave Pritchard, Gerald Kimmish and Jeff Carlson. Sophomore Tim Hoden also added to the team's performance.

A temporary plan included split-shifting at Woodrow Wilson Junior High School. Finding a long range solution was taken out of their hands, in part, when Ted Lange, 724 Forest Drive, circulated a petition by concerned citizens forcing a bond election. Board President Mike O'Bradovich, and member Mike Winchester, felt, however, that the bond issue shouldn't be forced because they didn 't want a "rush job." Mr. Winchester said that with more time they would have given the people "exactly what they wanted in a more economical and practical program." Yet, Mr. O'Bradovich felt public concern was good. "The public was concerned, and rightly so," he said. "They let us know their priorities," added Mr. Ray Uhlhorn . After the bond issue passed, the Board considered three sites for the new Kirn. After much deliberation, a final vote was taken March 14, 1977. In a 5-1-1 vote, they agreed to buy 14 acres of Midlands and 4.5 acres of Marty land on Highway 6 and North Avenue, which would cost 4.9 million dollars. Mr. Virdus Alton voiced the only no vote, saying it would be cheaper to buy 12.25 acres of Marty land and nine of Midlands. Thinking back, Mr. O'Bradovich said, "We made some mistakes dealing with the problem after the fire, but we've worked hard and restored confidence in the Board."

Assistant Prin cipa l Earl Graff was in charge of scheduling athl etic events and programs. "One of the big problems was pa rking, espec ially when we had something in the auditorium and big gym at th e same time." sa id Mr. Gra ff. Assistant Principal Don Moxley dea lt with endl ess referrals, and the "lin e-up" was a well known sight during homeroom. During March he began enfo rcing the smoking lounge and parking lot rul es more strictly, and a decrease in re ferra ls resulted. But th e fin al res ponsibilities lay with Prin cipa l Robert Capel. He summed up his duties as "kee ping everything on an even keel. " One of the problems he saw was a lack of stud ent-tea cher in vo lvement. He criti cized teachers who believed theirs was th e only class and said such an attitude depri ved students of an overa ll educa ti on. A diffi cult month was January when a num ber of fires we re set. "It would have been easy to put a lid on so tight th at no one could move, but that's not my philosophy," sa id Mr. Capel. By takin g the oth er route and not disrupting oth er students, he sa id he could see the schoo l had matured. Mr. Capel felt the yea r showed a positive change. "We have a grea ter number of kids that are buckl ing down and strivin g fo r higher achievement," he said. He noted an improvement in student dress, in dividual prid e and maturity. " J still have co nfidence in th e young people we have here," he sa id. 141 ·~·· ' 151 (1) Mr. Capel takes time out to talk with a teacher. (2) "Will these students please come to the offi ce?'

A "Guidance News" was sent out to better inform parents of our functions," said Mr. Richard Shoeppner, director of counselors. It informed parents of dates and issues involving students. Counselors got more involved with teachers and parents. "I met with the English Department regularly to discuss new ideas and look at problems," said Mrs. Lucile Hoffman, counselor. Mr. Schoeppner worked with the Physical Education Department. "In the beginning, the coeducational gym classes raised a lot of questions," said Mr. Schoeppner, "but most rough spots were ironed out." All counselors worked in groups with Council Bluffs citizens. These meetings were to look over the results of the 1976 North Central Association evaluation of our school. Teachers, parents, and counselors worked in committees to recommend changes in each department based on the evaluation, counselor George Lindsay said. Counselors also put in many hours of work helping students. "We work to meet the needs of the student," said counselor Kelly Scott, who saw an average of 25 students a day. The overall approach to counseling was summarized by counselor Bess Pappas. She said, "We're here for the good of the students and their future.

They were the secretaries and school nurse. Along with ty ping, dittoing. filing, and taking messages, secretaries were charged with keeping up with the whereabouts of some 1500 people during eight different periods. Hundre ds of sch edul e changes ea ch semester made this job difficult. Many students were almost impossible to locate for the first month of each semester. There were so many changes second semester that office helpers could work on nothing else third quarter. Mrs. Kay McKern, secretary, said she would like to see a definite ea rly cutoff date for all schedule changes. But along with problems also came rewards of the job. "The most fulfillin g part of my job is working with stud ents and having them come to school willingly, " said Mrs. Phyllis Hilder, attend ance clerk. For Mrs. Beve rl y McCumber, h ead secretary, th e variety of th e job and th e involvement with teachers were most enjoyable. Mrs. McKern said getting to know every student was fun. For Mrs. Helen Jones, school nurse, the day consisted of more than just ca lling parents, taking tempera tures, checking people out of school, and providing a comfortable . wa rm cot for slee py or ill stud ents. She said she hoped she had helped many stud ents with problems at home. (1) Mrs. McCumber types a m emo from Mr. Capel. (2) Mrs. Hilder and D ebbie Stevens record morning attendance.

But by 6:45 the clatter of pots and pans and clicking of keys in locks began the long day ahead for the cooks and custodians. "We don't mind working long hours because we enjoy our work," said Mrs. Pauline Sachs, kitchen manager. "We wouldn't be here if we didn't like the kids ... and the kids are getting better every year." Most of her 12 wor"kers were always busy. After breakfast there was clean-up, lunch and preparation for the next day. Although the cooks worked hard, they found time to participate in student life. They wore crazy socks on sock day and came decked out with wild hats for hat day. Working closely with the kitchen staff were the custodians headed by Fred "Chris" Christensen. Every day they were here to open .up and get the day started for students. "The school is pretty clean except for the smoking area and pop machines," said Chris. "The students are not as destructive as they used to be and I get along well with them. I like kids. Being around them makes me feel young," he said. Besides keeping the school clean, the custodians had to set up chairs for assemblies, do electrical and maintenance work, help with dances and sports activities and repair endless broken windows and jammed lockers. The cooks and custodians were as much a part of our day as we were of theirs. (1) ·- ., t .. COOKS AND CUSTODIANS. FRONT ROW: Nyna Woods, Eve lyn Schupp . Lotte Renz, Ruth Suble t, Pauline Sachs.

They thought of their fear on the first day of high school, the excitement of lea rning to drive, the disa ppointment of not making the team . .. and they remembered the growth that their high school experiences had brought them. Seniors had many different ideas about the values of their high school education. "I thin k I've gotten more involved with spectator sports such as football. I've grown up a whole lot," said Kim Burkybile. "High school taught me self-discipline and a sense of responsibility," said Tom Barber. " I've lea rn ed th e basics I'll need fo r college, " said Lori Baber. Ma ny seniors said high school helped them formulate career goa ls. "I fo und out what things really interested me, and what I wanted to do with my !if e," said Mary Pogge. "I feel like I've lea rn ed so much by working in the offi ce. It's encouraged me to go into secretarial work. Before that I was unsure of what I wa nted to do," said Jolene Koenig. "High school got me into mechanics through Iowa Western. I'm planning to go there aft er graduation to continue," sa id Bill Grace .

They were asked who they favored. " I wou ld have voted for Jerry Ford because he has a lot more experi ence in diplomatic a ffairs and leadership ability." (Francie Cheatham) "I would have voted for Ford beca use he was doing a great job considering th e way he took office. Carter is a man of promises which he shows littl e for, such as the $50 rebate." (Ron Cl atterbuck) "I voted for Jimmy Carter because I wanted something different in the government and Carter will make changes. " (Dennis Clark) "I feel Ford's policies were helpful in bringing the country to a highe r moral and economic stature. I would have voted for Ford not only because of his good standing, but because I lack confidence in the nebulous Jimmy Carter."

Seniors voiced strong opinions for the passage of the bond issue. "I voted for the bond issue, but I preferred the old site. The foundation, gym and track were already there. " [Ramona Hall] "It's about time the people of Council Bluffs did something for the kids. The people who voted no don't have to go to Kirn like the kids do : The bond issue is the best thing that ever happened to Council Bluffs. " [Jim Griffin] "Kirn was in need of replacing years ago, and I'm glad to see it done ." (Doug Goodsell] "I voted for the bond issue.

In a year of many changes almost everyone found something he liked. "Fashion really changed during the year. New styles came out, one right after another. That was the good part about it. You could buy a new outfit every once in a while. " (Lea Hough] "I like casual wear best, especially for school, because it's more comfortable and not as hot as a dress." (Miriam Herbranson] "I think girls look best in casual clothes, even though clothes don 't necessarily make the girl. Girls seem more relaxed wearing blue jeans.

Although they noted its common usage, most thought it was not a serious problem nor a problem peculiar to AL. "Alcohol is a probl em only at certain times for occasions like dances and parties." [Randy Lambe rt] "Most people at AL drink, but only a few drink enough to be considered alcoholics. I don 't think AL has any more of a problem than most schools." [Mark Keane] "The problem of alcohol doesn't seem to be any worse than anywhere else, and I think it has improved. " (Tamera Killion,] "Most people go to parties with the ir friends to have a good time . If people start drinking by themselves, then there will be problems."

(Tom Madsen] · "I think the trial basis is better for at least a year so that you know if you are compatible together." (Ken McGlade] "Couples should live together for six months. This would help to keep the divorce rate down.

"I am not against the legalization of pot; however I feel before they lega lize it, they shouid have some way to test for intoxication when driving. " (Deb Park] . "I think they should do more research on it. There are too many conflicting reports. If they find that it is not any more harmful than alcohol, then they should legalize it."

Many concerts came to Omaha and most were seen by a number of seniors. "Eagles concert was-the best because everyone got crazy and they're the most well known group around. I'd like to see Bob Dylan because we don't get much bluegrass music around here." (Dawn Spear] "J~thro Tull was all right. Ian Anderson can really do some crazy things with his flute.

Upperclassmen recall senior year memories Many things have happened to seniors. But there are some things that are unforgettable. Seniors were asked what their most memorable moment was. "The AFS Christmas Dance was a blast. It was the best dance I have ever been to, but nothing tops the overnight trip to Luther College." [Scott Taylor) "Beating TJ in the district finals and earning a trip to State for girls volleyball was a great feeling. Our team functioned as one. Each one of us made our team a whole. After the last point, I think all of us jumped higher than we did in the game, even Miss Lyle." [Lana Thomas) "It hasn't happened yet. I expect it to be graduation because it is the time I have waited for since kindergarten."

They had varied reactions to the new policy which raised credits from 27 to 33. "I think it's a rip off. ... We always get the bad end of the deal, " said Lon Charleson. One student didn't think any real improvement in education occurred. "People just take easier classes to get the credits they need, " said Jim Brown. But many students didn 't mind the change. "I don't mind because I'd probably get more than 33 credits anyway," said Nancy Adams. "It doesn 't matter to me because I'm out for sports and I have to have so many courses anyway," said Mary Jo Dinovo. Some students thought the change beneficial to their future. "Twenty-seven credits are too easy to get. Thirty-three make you work a little harder, stay in school a little longer and help you in the future," said Craig Whitney. Even though they had to spend more time in class, juniors still found time for extra activities. Pickles, T-shirts, donuts and candy were s.old, raising nearly $1,400 for Prom and other needs. The Junior Class officers hoped to make Prom special this year by holding it somewhere other than the gym. Secretary Nancy Prichard said they tried to hold it at Carter Lake Ballroom, but due to a conflict in reservations the gym was again the site. Despite such setbacks, Ken Juel said of the class, "Most people are really together; they support each other.

"I would rather have a smoking lounge so there isn't smoking in the bathrooms. But the area of the lounge is not good. When parents and other schools attend games, they see all the butts scattered on the ground. Also it gets awfully sloppy during the winter by the doors." (Terese Winchester) "Nobody cares enough to keep the smoking lounge clean; it's a real mess!" (Mike Taylor) "If it can't be kept any cleaner than it is now, it should be moved in back of the school." (Shawn Webb) "I suppose it's better than nothing for the people who smoke. They need a place to smoke; I just wish it wasn't at the side of the building." (Julie Wood) "The smoking lounge is a good idea because without it, the bathroom would be so dirty and full of cigarette butts."

No longer were they on top as they were in junior high, but now they were open to teasing and ridicule by the upper classes. Sophomores expressed some fear about entering high school, but soon came to appreciate their new freedoms. "On the first day of school I was really scared, but everyone was so friendly that by the end of the day I was no longer scared," said Vicki Lee. "On the first day I was scared to death. If elt like I was in kindergarten again; it seemed like everyone was bigger than me." said Joy Hoyt. But soon sophomores began to enjoy their new maturity and freedom. "Students are more mature and AL's enviornment is much freer than junior high," said Brian Ramsvick. Likewise, Patty Ryerson said, "There's just more freedom at AL. It seems less like a prison." New privileges were important to sophomores. Kelly Hallagan said the biggest changes he noted from junior high were privileges like being able to smoke, eat in the student lounge, drink pop, and have more pep assemblies. It was obvious, though, that some students were unable to handle their new privileges. "The biggest change I noticed was how you can get away with skipping." said Vicki Lee. For sophomores, then, the year was filled with anticipation and a need for growing maturity. (1) Marlo Maaske poses for a shot in photography class.

Sophomores revealed that they had little difficulty meeting members of the opposite sex. "It's not hard to meet them if you want to . I meet them by talking to them in classes." (Lynn Damme) "It's easy to meet them in the halls, in the classroom and anywhere you want to meet them." (Nancy Grell) "It's not hard to meet them. I usually meet them in the new coed gym class." (Rory Hallberg) "I meet them all over. There are girls everywhere." (Dick Devereaux) "It's easy. If you want to meet boys, take power mechanics." (Susan Farrell) "I meet them at school, in class and at work. You get to know them better there."

Although a few students felt rules were too strict and others said they were fair, most said they were too lenient. "I think the rules are too lenient because nobody gets caught for doing wrong and if they do, they just get talked to. They know they can get by with anything." (Carolyn Johnson) "Rules are not enforced. I see too many leaving, and it's supposed to be a closed campus." (Pat Jeter) "The ref err al system is too lenient because nothing much is done about people skipping." (Kathy Irwin) "Some study halls are too strict.

Among these were Midlands Mall, the South Expressway and the Pottawattamie County Court House. Sophomores generally felt Midlands Mall was the greatest improvement for Council Bluffs. "I think Midlands Mall is the biggest improvement in Council Bluffs because now I don't have to go to Omaha to shop." (Lori Phillips) "The mall is the biggest improvement because it will be around for a long time. We never had good shopping before, but maybe now we can compete with Omaha." (Rick Norsen) "The mall has made people aware that Council Bluffs is still alive. It's the first thing the city has done in a long time."

Many sophomores felt the Drivers Ed. requirement was a good one. "It will teach you how to be a defensive driver and how to take care of a car properly." (Sandy Schafer) "Drivers Ed. was a big hassle; it didn't teach me that much I didn't already know." (Howard Trusty) "It showed me that there's more to driving than just · sitting behind the wheel. " (Kari Slosser) "It helps you know what driving is really about. It helps you know what to do in an emergency."

(4] (2) - -..- - ..- - - --- ---------- Math goes basic during new course High school math usually brings to mind words like calculators, square roots and formulas. Many students, however, profit more from concentrating on math basics. Mr. Orville Miller, Math Department chairman, said, "Since not all high school students continue their education after high school, the need arose for a math course designed to help those students while they are still in school. Basic Math was designed to help students learn general math essentials, such as working with the metric system and learning how to balance a checkbook. Many of the units were consumer-oriented. To break up monotony, teachers added units on how to apply for a job and how to protect oneself financially. Teachers reported students' favorite unit dealt with how to protect themselves when buying a car. After a pre-test, Mr. George Van Wyngarden. Mr. Ron Beeson and Mr. Miller divided students according to their needs. Mr. Van Wyngarden's classes viewed a film each week which applied to the unit being studied. Students had various reactions to the new math class. Junior Jeff Taylor said, "Oh, I don't know. I guess it's no worse than any other class." For the most part, however, students enjoyed the course. "It's a pretty good class. I've learned a lot in here." said junior Karen Garrett. 71 72 Eugene Armstrong Environmental Problems Woodrow Clarke Biology, Botany Photography Reed Emsick Biology Christine Fink Chemistry Michael Freeman Algebra 3-4 Physics Joseph Hauser Biology Denn is Schmoker Chemistry (1) Yvonn e Cha ppe ll uses one of chemistry's many pieces of equi pment.

These might be thoughts of students who dread science. Science teachers tried to overcome such lack of interest by introducing new and enjoyable ways of studying the subject. Biology, zoology, and botany classes got out of the classroom ancl took field trips to Big Lake and Henry Doorly Zoo. Although students enjoyed the change, some felt learning experiences could have been better. "The field trips would have been b etter if there had been a better understanding of what we were to do before we left. " said Janet Harlow, biology student. Physics students we re introduced to a new piece of equipment, the laser. Other equipment ranged from pap er clips to an oscilloscope. The class consisted of both class discussions and l abs. Chemistry courses were in th eir fifth year of an individualiz ed program. Since this new program bega n, enrollm ent has almost doubled. "Individualized chemistry is easy if you have the right attitude and ke ep pace with the rest of the class, " said senior Tom Backhuus. Not everyone liked the individualized program, however. 'Tm not fond of science and find it difficult to push m yself when there are no daily assignments," said senior Francie Cheatham. Although they could not please everyo ne, science teac hers were happ y . with th eir efforts to make sci ence more interesting. 73 (2) 74 Social Studies Dept. uses new approaches Stud ents in social stud i es classes we re confronted by many new a pproac hes.

The c h ange a ffecting the most stud ents occurred in A m eric a n Studi es III, which was required for a ll sophomores. Stud ents we re a llow ed to c hoose four topics out of a possib le e i ght to study during the yea r. The course of study attracting the most popul arity was The Tw enties and Thirties, with World War II a close second. Sophomore Lisa Dr a p er said, " I enjoy the Wa ltons so much th at I want ed to learn m o re a bout the Depr ession ." Most stud ents reac t ed positive ly to the n ew course.

"In fact, one day I was explaining how one wife of King Henry VIII had been beheaded and how the others had died in rather gruesome ways, too. I paused for a breath when Pat Mai ors blurted out, "Don't stop! This is better than Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman!" This is an example of the student involvement which was obvious in the English and World lite ra ture classes. The English lite ra ture cours e was so popular that an additional class was form ed to catch the overflow. But not everything was right with the English Department. In past years the department had been plagued with a lack of unity. "We held monthly meetings, which helped. It was a step in the right direction," said Mrs. Jeanette Kenny, department chairman. "We set up a sequence of units for English 3-4. This was the first time any consistency had been attempted." In previous yea rs, each sophomore English teacher had "don e his own thing." A course could be very different, depending on who the teacher was. The department recognized a need for other changes. Aft er last yea r's NCA evaluation, they suggested the English requirement be upped from four credits to six. They also suggested the English and America n literature classes be made year courses." It's impossible to cram 2000 years of English litera tu re into 18 weeks," said Mrs. Day. (4) Linda Smoley Lois Alter Eng.

The ir billboards said, "Comba t alcoholism-drink wine." Lea rning such unusua l information about a for eign country's culture was one of many reasons stud en ts took for eign language courses. Although language classes were known for grammar and vocabulary tests, students said they enjoyed relaxing activities teache rs provided. Ms. Susan Zinn , French instructor, and Mrs. P eggy Rodrigu ez. German a nd Russi a n instructor, had students pl ay Russian, German, and French scrabble in order to reinforce vocabulary. Latin students invariably said they chose the course because they had hea rd so much about Mrs. Lois Alter's vivid stories and humorous antics which he lped them remember ma te rial. "Mrs. Alter te lls us about the places she has been, like Rome and England . I e njoyed her stories about the cathedrals, " said junior Richard Feight. Spanish stud e nts loo ked forward to getting Mr. Tomas La ra off th e subject, which was usua lly grammar. They talked a bout everything from motorcyc les to governme nt.

In the rooms along the hall; industrial arts students did proj ects which they and others could use. Production Printing students received new dark room equipment and a paper folder which helped them do a better job of producing two pages of the Echoes and sports programs. First year printing classes made stationery, note pads and business cards. "It's a class that keeps me busy and isn't boring," said sophomore Criss Tritsch. Building Construction classes made picnic tables, sheds and other proj ects they sold in the community. Woodworking students made breadboards, bookcases and tables. " I mad e a grandfather clock because it was harder, more of a challenge," said junior John McAtee. Electronics classes worked with solid state equipment. Some projects consisted of testing circuits and taking apart and putting together radios. "I took electronics to help me as an X-ray technician," said senior Diane Flinn. "It wasn't any harder than an algebra course." Metal classes made chisels, ash trays, hammers and tool boxes. "Metal shop isn't just a credit,'' said sophomore Jim Stone. "It's a class which you can use out of school, even if your profession doesn't require any knowledge of metal working." (1) Larry Britton tests a circuit in Electronics.

Driver Ed. teachers agreed that their new room in the northeast wing brightened the "hall closet" atmosphere of previous years when Driver Ed. classes were stuck behind the cafeteria. Students said the course was also livened up by humorous incidents. Teachers taught students to watch a block ahead. But when one student was asked why he had gone through the red light, he replied the light was green-a block ahead. Another time, students and teachers couldn't help laughing when a motorist who was making faces at Driver Ed. students smashed into a parked car. Humorous accidents also occurred in home economics classes. One time boys in Basic Foods made chili. They poured half a can of chili powder in it and couldn't finish one bowl. But the greatest problem home economics classes faced was too little cooking time. To help solve this problem and give studer.its more experience, micro-wave ovens were installed. Instructor Jean Coffey said, however, that students often complained the ovens failed to brown or flavor food. Junior Rory Vos wasn't crazy about his "chalk white" muffins. "If it doesn't look good, why eat it?" he said. Teachers felt the biggest improvement in home economics classes was elimination of individual study capsules. They agreed students learned more when teachers taught basics before students worked on their own. (1)Mary Kolhof points out driving procedures.

Your check-statement doesn't balance, and you need to type a letter of complaint to a businessman. Business classes tried to prepare students for such situations. "Students increasingly began realizing the need for business courses," said instructor Steve Swee. Accounting enrollment went up by 70 students-more than ever before. Accounting was structured so that a student completing the course would be able to keep his own books for a business, farm or home. "Even if you don't become an accountant, chances are the class will benefit you later, " said junior Pat Hensley. Business Law instructor Bill Hughes also tried to prepare students for problems which might arise in their future. "We learned everyday stuff that will help us later, such as protection from consumer fraud and what to do if accused of a crime," said senior Chuck Beneke. "We became more aware of our rights as citizens," said junior Craig Whitney. Courses such as Shorthand, Office Practice, Advanced Typing, and Business Machines tried to prepare students more specifically for careers in business. Senior Patti Waugh, who took several business courses, said that although she needed more experience before going out on the job, the business department helped her understand the business world and decide on a career. "The department pointed me in the direction of a goal," she said. (1) Diane Grunberg mimeographs worksheet assignments. (2) Sue Dorsett takes dictation from Mrs. Troutman.

At the end of the campaign w hen the votes were t allied, the two presidential candidates tied. The crucial decision of the presidency was left to the chairman of the committee. After long debating. Craig Whitney was elected president. "I thought the election went very well, " s aid Mrs. Sigl er. "The students put a lot of themselves into it and worked very hard." For the first time the Art Department met with citizens from the community to talk about the school's art program. "They encouraged us to submit suggestions to improve the department that we we re hesitant a bout, such as extended periods for art labs," said Mrs. Berniece Ross, art teacher and chairperson for the committe e. Theater and stagecraft students, und er the sponsorship of Mr. Jim Mimick, r eceiv ed new textbooks, one of which Mr. Mimick himself wrote. His new textbook titled "Learning Activity Packet" allowed the student to work indi vidually. Students in theater had the opportunity to ush er at Joslyn and the Orpheum Theatre. AL was the only school in this area to do this. "It enabled the students to see professional productions, " said Mr. Mimick. 87 (4) 88 - - - ----.,.----- ----- - - - - (1) All-State voca lists Holly Burke, Myrn a Hales, Sue Miner, Roge r Je nsen, Paul Brosa m, Tim Be rgquist , Brian Peters and Richa rd Sorrells prepare for All-St a te.

In the foreground appeared Iowa's finest All-State musicians and vocalists. The scene was the annual All-State Festival held in Des Moines th e week b efore Thanksgiving. Band director Jim Misner said the All-State Festiva l is one of the greatest achievements a music student can reach. The Music Department had 16 winners, more than ever before. "My All-State experience was a humble one, which amazed me at what high school students are capable of," said senior finalist Mike Allen. First, instructors chose their best musicians to go to regional auditions. They auditioned in groups, but a judge might have requested a student to perform alon e. Whether the student became an All-State winner or a disappointed loser was soley up to the judge. There were disappointments. "I didn't have enough preparation time before my audition, " said senior Sue Fisher. "The Judgi ng is extremely strict. " said Mr. Misner. "There were a lot of deserving students who didn 't get to All-State." But despite the disappointments, music teachers felt they were successful. "The Music Department is a shining light to our high school, " said vocal instructor Lee Spann. According to Mr. Misner, the increased success of music students might have been due, in part, to the introduction of Stage Band and Swing Choir as daily credited classes for the first time.

DE students learned about retail selling in a morning class. In the afternoon they worked in family b usin esses, grocery stores and department stores. T&I students attended a morning class where they studied unions, consumer credit, social security and job applications. In the afternoon they worked as mechanics, carpe nters and e lectricians. Senior Brent Cudmore worked with his father grooming and training horses. Students were required to work at least 15 hours a week. They received two hours credit and salaries ranging from the minimum wage to $7 an hour. T&I instructor Mr. Frank DiBlasi said that together students earned approximately $40,000. DE and T&I programs provided more convenience than most jobs. "Working in the afternoons is nice," said senior Sandy Sherman, "because you don't have to work at nights. " But students didn't just make money conveniently. They were evaluated by their employers and received a grade. Students learned both in class and on the job. "I've learned a lot about business that I wouldn 't have learned by just working," said junior Debbie Tague. The courses were a way of getting ahead in the business field. Of the students enrolled in DE and T&I. 60 per cent stayed with their jobs after graduation. 91 92 (2) Wilda Briggs Special Education - Twila Petitt Special Education -\r-.r (1) Mike Stanley throws the softball to a first place victory in th e Special Education Olympics.

Advanced Construction students from the three area high schools hammered, sawed and wired until they built a house on Twenty-sixth and Avenue J. Students were involved in every face t o f building, insta llin g e le ctricity, varnishing woodwork and laying cement. "A lot of hours were put in, sometimes aft er school," sa id senior Russ Holford. Industrial arts students attended welding classes at the Career Center. Students worked with all types of metal welding, brazing and fl ame cutting. "I got a lot of experience, and had a lot of fun going to the center," said junior Brian Hakenson .

Juniors and seniors could receive two credits per semester for attending two hours daily. But stud ents said college instructors caused a lack of int e r est in the course. "The teachers we re really boring," said junior Steve Hatfield, "but I took the course to h elp me fix my car.

The parade made its way down Broadway to Pearl Street Sept. 24. Seniors won first place for depicting the "de-feeting" of a Husky by a guillotine. "The seniors had a great time and even did a little work on the float," said Mark Oden. After the parade, the shouting and clapping of a pep assembly resounded in Bayliss Park. "It showed our school still had spirit after all,'' said Diane Dettman, cheerleader. Before the game, fans decorated their cars with red, white and blue streamers. They whizzed through traffic until they reached CB stadium. By then a steady sprinkle of rain had begun. The rain continued through the game, which resulted in an AL loss of 21-8. During half time, the Homecoming Court trudged through the mud onto the field. Jody Sidebottom and Cheryl Gibler were crowned king and queen. "I thought for sure it was a mistake," said Jody. "It was something I will never forget," said Cheryl. Saturday night Sundog provided the music for the dance in the gym. Wet streamers stuck on cars ... a third AL football loss ...

(3) (4) (1) [5) (6) Students relax, escape pressure Students found many ways to escape the pressures of exams and assignments. Card playing was popular any time students got the chance. Almost every period, games were played in study halls. Seniors Randy Lambert and Bart Jones liked playing in the lounge. "We get down to basics playing a vigorous game of strip poker (fantasy style) with Lea Hough and Sheri Wegner," said Bart. Senior Jim Griffin and junior Laura Schweppe said they liked just listening to the music of the new stereo system. Others battled the stereo sound to listen to soap operas on radio. Juniors Mary Jo Dinovo and Terese Winchester listened to "The Young and Restless" every day and were frequently joined by others who wanted to know what was happening. Once in a while a person just felt the urge to get away from everything. Vicki Peters chose the parking lot as her retreat. "I just go out and sit in Michele Young's car," she said. Others also sought the parking lot for escape. Despite the closed campus policy, between 11:30 and 12:50 many cars could be seen leaving to go to Sam's or Taco Bell. For some students the smoking lounge was a necessary stop each day. Even in January, when temperatures plunged to 10 below, they huddled together for a drag. Other activities ranged from working out in the weight room to a simple visit with friends in study hall. Relaxation was vital to blow off s team and clear the mind. 101 [ 2] 102 (1) Wrestlers John Wright and Art Moore are tied up for the three-legged basketball game by JV cheerleader Jane Kessler.

A chant started by Junior Tim Haden at the first pep rally got the football guys so excited they ran onto the gym floor and jumped up and down screaming, "Let's get crazy! " At another pep assembly cheerleaders and porn pan girls clad in full football attire gave their version of an AL-LC football game. The crowd roared when an LC player was hurt and had to be carried off the field in the "meat wagon." Junior and senior athletes devoured ice cream at one pep assembly. Bibs were put on, and their hands were tied behind their backs. Football player Gary O'Brien jumped into an early lead but not far behind him was basketball player Lana Thomas. The cheerleaders declared football player Clint Dingman the champion. Metro Miller protested, provoking an ice _cream throwing spree, which was ended by Mr. Graff. During one pep rally the cheerleaders organized a three-legged basketball game between the boys basketball and wrestling teams and the girls basketball team. The groups of two were tied at the calves and thighs and told to play by girls rules. The boys won the game 4-0. Many athletes and fans agreed pep assemblies were better than in previous years. "I thought the pep rallies were much more enthusiastic this year," said swimmer Ann Kealy. "It made me want to play my best when I heard the crowds backing us, " said basketball player Mike Flynn. 103 - 104 Roadshow a mock television premier The lights dim and the curtain opens. Suddenly the applause sign flashes. The taping of the "Shinah Dore Show" is about to begin. The auditorium was furnished to take on the appearance of a television studio for Roadshow 1976, "A Night at Studio 162." Equipment included monitors, applause signs and TV cameras. Several problems plagued the show. First, Mr. Roger Mourlam, media specialist, objected because he feared monitors might be damaged or not work properly. Another problem, said Mr. Jim Mimick, drama instructor, was a lack of variety in the show due to the early production date of Sept. 29, which allowed little time for rehearsals. Nevertheless, Mr. Lee Spann, music instructor, was satisfied. He said, "I was rather pleased. This was one of our better shows." Sophomores gained their first experience on stage dancing to "Barnyard Stomp," "Kalimba" and "Dueling Banjos." Students also enjoyed the sound of Paul Brosam, Ron Koontz, Dana Johnson, Tim Williams and Sue Fisher as they performed "Stairway to Heaven.'' Thus, the show overcame several obstacles. Performer Lisa Lawrence said, "I felt it was a good show for the short time we had." (2) - ---- - - - --- --- - - - (4) (3) (1) (6) [1) Bob Acklie impersonates Richard Nixon.

It was an unseasonably warm night Dec. 18 when AFS held its fifth annual Christmas Dance. The dance began at 8 p.m., but many couples did not straggle in until it was well underway. Brightly colored streamers and huge red bells hung from the ceiling in the gym, where the theme, "Stairway To Heaven," was written in silver across the wall. "I thought the decorations were really neat until they all came down," said junior Nancy Petersen. Many students attended parties before the dance. "I had a party and everybody had a good time," said senior Neil Stock. "Bittersweet" provided the music for a swinging time. "They were good, except I thought they played too much music from the 50's and not enough slow dances," said junior Linda Harlow. Most couples ended their evening by eating out at the 64 Club or at an Omaha steak house. "Before we ate at the Plankhouse we played Starsky and Hutch on the interstate with Rick Crowl and Craig Whitney," said junior Dennis Rash.

Props manager Teri Moroney checks the broken gramophone, making sure it will hold together. Actress Shelly Larsen scrutinizes her maid costume. Such was the scene a few moments before the curtain qpened on "My Fair Lady," the musical presented Dec. 8,9,10,11 and 13 after nine weeks of rehearsals. The play was difficult to produce. "It didn't leave us any time to have fun with it; it was all work, work, work," said director Jim Mimick. Despite the work, minor problems plagued peformances. The huge library set toppled to the floor in one scene, almost falling on Myrna Hales. "It was terrible! My life flashed before my eyes," cried Myrna. One time Jim Thorn, playing Alfred P. Doolittle, missed his cue. "I forgot Scene 15. They dragged me out of the dressing room half dressed, but I didn 't let it shake me," said Jim. On stage Tim Bergquist, Professor Higgins, improvised by saying, "Gee, I wonder if he got lost. " There were good times, however. "Being cockneys, just being a slob and building any kind of character you wanted made it really fun, " said actor Brad Jacobs. "The audience was laughing in the right places," said actress Nancy Adams of the matinee. Audience reaction was gratifying. The cast received standing ovations and many complimentary letters. The cast enjoyed working together. 'Tm kind of sorry it's over," said actress Jana Milford. "It took a lot of time, but I thought it was time well spent." 109 110 Students sacrifice in order to work The bell signaled the end of Joe's last class. He hurried to his car, carrying books he wouldn't use until much later. Like Joe, hundreds of students spent many evenings and weekends working rather than participating in school activities, doing assignments or socializing. A random survey of 250 working students showed 38 percent worked as cooks and waitresses, and 41 percent as checkout and sales clerks, stockers and sackers. The other 21 percent listed more unusual jobs such as plucking chickens and tying cowhides. Students reported working mainly for money. The survey showed 15 percent earned over $90 a week. Ten percent earned between $70 and $90. Fifty-five percent earned between $30 and $70, and only 20 percent earned under $30. Those surveyed said clothes, car expenses, and savings demanded the largest portions of their money. Despite the money, junior Rosalie Johnson said, "I don't like to go to school and work. It's hard to hold down a job and school." Hours spent working robbed students of time for activities and homework. However, most student held only part time jobs. Of those surveyed, only 18 students worked 40 hours a week. The majority worked between 20 and 35 hours and reported that although they had to make sacrifices, working didn't seriously interfere with academic or social activities. Thus, working and going to school were a way of life, not likely to change. (1) (3) ( 7) [4) (5) [6) (1) Barb Bardsley rings up a sale at ). C. Penney in Bluffs Plaza.

Th e Curious Savage, presented March 30, 31 and April 1 prubed this question . The play centered on a rich widow, played by junior Joni Teeple, whose step children sent her to "The Cloisters" to get her inheritance. "The asylum residents were beginning their recovery," said actresss Lisa Lawrence. In fa ct, the play pointed out those inside the asylum were in some ways more sane than those outside. "The outside world was worse; in the asylum they had peace within themselves," said senior Debbie Van Every, wh o saw the play. Portraying the insane required ·preparation. Lisa (2) said she had to practice making constant nervous movements and kee ping her voice at a high squeal. After five weeks of reh ea rsal, attendance was low. Director Jim Mimick blamed part of it on poor newspa per coverage. Though small, "audi e nc es laughed where they were supposed to," said actress Jolene Koenig, "and they made the play more enj oyable." Both cast and audience members thought the theme came through. "Love for fell ow man was important in the play. The inmates were a family unit where eve rybody ca red fo r everybody else, but in the so -ca ll ed sa n e family, eve ryo n e wa s out for themselves," sa id actor Tim Fifer.

I Large audiences attend concerts Public support was better than ever at concerts given throughout the year. Stage Band and Swing Choir started off with a pops concert, pe rforming "New Generation Theme Song" and "Feelings" for almost 400 people. It was the first time the New Generation Stage Band appeared in their burgundy jackets and rnffl ed shirts. After two months of practices, band and choir members filled hea rts with the Christmas spirit a t the Dec. 16 concert. A crowd of 1500 gave the orchestra, band and choir standing ovations when AL hosted the All City Festival in February. Sophomore Ensemble, Varsity Choir, and the orchestra hosted the Winter Concert March 3. Sophomore Ensemble membe r Debbie Telpner said, "the large audience's warm applause made the day-after-day 7 a.m. practices worthwhile." New Generation and New Design teamed up to ent ertain the student body for the first time in an assembly March 7, as part of Music in Our Schools Week. They were apprehensive about performing for their peers, but many students told them they had enjoyed their renditions of "Grand Centra l Suite" and "Theme from 2001 ." New Generation and New Design a lso performed the Music Department's sign -off concert May 10, when th ey received two standing ovations. On announcing the sale of the ir new record, they were surprised with between 40 and 50 orders from the audience. Other concerts included a special Concert Choir performance and the band and orchestra Scholarship Concert, both in April. (5) 115 116 (1) Bri a n Allmo n . Ki rk Campbe ll.

The mirrored ball high in the center reflected the awe and joy of hundreds of faces. Near the brick wall a couple lounged in chairs, admiring the starry sky. Another couple tossed coins into a fountain and watched water disappear into a tiny stream. Hours of planning and work had transf armed th e gym to this scene for the Junior-Senior Prom April 23. Guys in ruffled shirts and girls in long, flowing dresses danced to the sounds of Stack. The theme "We May Never Pass this Way Again" had special meaning for seniors and for others who were relieved Prom and its high costs would not come again for another year. Most boys spent between $80 and $100. The girls spent a little less, between $60 and $80 for that special night. " I spent $40 on a tux, $12 for tickets and pictures, $15 for dinner and $12 for something which cannot be men tion ed at this time, " said junior Ken Juel. "My dress is where most of my money went," said junior Mary Mcintosh, "It cost $40 plus a pair of $15 shoes, not to mention my $10 worth of jewelry and a $10 shawl I left in the car all night." Most couples agreed, however, that the magic of Prom was worth the cost. "Prom night was great. We stayed out all night and the next morning too. It cost a lot, but all night out on the town was well worth the price, " said senior Pam Norsen. 11 7 118 Honors Assembly acclaims students One hundred and ninety students received awards and scholarships at the Annual Honors Assembly May 2. Seniors Mike Allen and Sharon Reasoner received the most awards. Mike 's 17 honors included the DAR and National Jazz Award. Among Sharon 's ten awards were the Bausch and Lomb Sc;ience Award and World Herald Scholarship. Several scholarships were given to seniors in honor of those who contributed to the school or community in the past. Bob Acklie and Sue Dorsett won the $100 S eth T. Hills Memorial and Vocational Scholarships in memory of the AL English teacher who died in 1976. Mike Si e b ert won the Rev.

Clint Dingm an won a $200 scholarship set up by the Council Bluffs Education Association in m emory of John M. Jens en, Eastside principal from 1961 to 1967. Mark Keane won the Douglas Vergamini Memorial Scholarship, given for the last time due to lack of funds. Mark was s elect ed by the Vergamini family, whose son Doug, an AL graduate, was killed in action as a helicopter pilot in 1970.

Sam Brown Jr., a 1961 AL graduate recently appointed head of the fe d eral ACTION volunteer program, was invit ed to speak. After several seniors voiced opposition to the in vitation, seniors were able to express their choice for speaker in a homeroom vote. Sixty perc ent of the seniors voted to have Mr. Brown. The Carter appointee told the graduates they faced a greater task than those in his class of 1961. He said it was still possible for them to attain their dream, but they must put something of themselves into it, g i ving it more than just eight hours a day. Seniors had var i ous reactions to Bro wn's speech. "His speech could have pertained more to the graduation ceremony," said Bill Simmons. "It was good that he took time from his job to give us a little courage for w hat we are about to get into, " said Clinton Dingman. In a time when many traditions were going by the wayside, seniors were happy with their tradition al graduation c e r emo ny. "You only do it once in your life, so you might as well make the most of it," said Mary Poggee. In order to save those special m e mor ies, for the first time a professio n al photographer snapp ed a picture of each happy graduate as he accepted his diploma. 121 124 Council successful, encounters apathy "This meeting is now called to order .... Everyone in favor say I, opposed ney." These were familiar lines at Student Council meetings. The council did many projects to help make the year more enjoyable. Some of these were providing movies, organizing Homecoming parade, selling magazines, and fighting for an $1,800 radio receiver and stereo system for the student lounge and cafeteria. The radio receiver went over big with students, but not as well with teachers. Junior Stephanie Knudsen said, "I feel it keeps more (2) ...-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-- kids in the student lounge than in the parking lot." Senior Darwin Nuzum said, "It mellows everybody out a little." But Mr. Robert Pettepier, math teacher said, "It contributes to the overall lack of concentration of the student body." Despite their accomplishments, Randy Shanks, Student Council president, felt the council lacked student body cooperation. He said, "I didn 't think the student body supported dances and other activities as much as they could have." An example of this was the victory dance after the Lewis Central game. The gym was practically empty with only about 60 people attending. · Although many were apathetic, students felt the council was successful. "Student Council did a good job representing the student body, and they got many things accomplished," said junior Susan P. Clark. ( 1) (3) STUDENT COUNCIL.

(1) ---- - -- -~ Foreign students share observations Our huge parking lot and noisy cheerleaders were the biggest surprises facing two AL students. Eeva Ollila, foreign exchange student from Finland, reported that the parking lot shocked her because in Finland the legal driving age is 18. Eva Eckholm, foreign student from Sweden, said that everyone must be quiet at Swedish volleyball and basketball games. American Field Service and Youth for Understanding sponsored four exchange students. In addition to the girls, Fred Wenke came from Germany and Miguel Maldonado came from El Salvador. Surprisingly, these students from different countries had very similar ideas. All four thought people were more same than different. Eeva said it's just their customs that make them seem different at first. The students agreed the year taught them much, but not academically. "Classes are much easier here, even though in Germany I was a sophomore and here I'm a senior, " said Fred Wenke. In addition to sponsoring foreign students, AFS organized many activities, such as Christmas Dance and AL's room in the Jaycees' haunted house. Their room took first place, bringing them $200. "Even though we had trouble getting people to work, we really had a good time playing spooks," said president Laura Schweppe. Every six weeks AFS held pot luck dinners which anyone could attend. "The meetings were really fun and the food was great," said senior Deb Matthews. 127 128 FSA and FHA work and enjoy Good times and good food helped hold Future Secretaries and Future Homemakers clubs together. FSA meetings were held bi-monthly at Bob's Corral for dinner. "We used the meeting room in the back. A lot of people came because there was food," said senior Cindy Wichman. Future Secretaries had a male member for the first time. The girls enjoyed having him in the club. Junior John Hagen said, "I really enjoyed it because it will help me in the future to get a job and to take notes in college." FSA had a moneymaking proj ect selling jewelry and miscellaneous items. "I felt it was worthwhile because a lot of girls sold many different items," said junior Cheri Wittland. Future Homemakers also had a moneymaking project. They sold key chains. The girls made place mats for the nursing home at Thanksgiving, and covers for mixers in the home economics rooms. Like FSA members, FHA members enjoyed parties and food together. They held Stanley, bowling and pizza parties. "I really enjoyed the parties because we met a lot of people and we got to know everyone a little better," said junior Lori Shearer. The girls also had a plant party where they could buy plants. "The speaker told us how to take care of our plants; she did a good job because mine is still alive," said senior Patti Waugh.

ROW II: Myrna Hales, Teri Moroney, Ann Burke, Carrie Ballenger, John Sparks, Jim Thorn, Nancy Societies honor outstanding work Students in National Honor Society and International Thespian Society were chosen for outstanding achievement. Sponsors honored selected members at separate initiation ceremonies. Senior National Honor Society members needed a 3.4 grade point average and juniors a 3.6 average. A list of these students was given to teachers, who nominated students on the basis of character, service, and leadership. At least ten teachers needed to nominate a student for entrance into the society. "It was a real honor to be picked since I was only a junior," said Jim Steines. At the end of the year, members held a picnic on Long's Landing. "We had a lot of fun," said senior Ron Koontz. "It was nice that everybody could get together before the seniors left school." Inte rnational Thespian Society was set up on a point system. A member needed ten points, each point representing ten hours of excellent work. Members also needed to be in two full-length productions. Points could be obtained through participation in school productions and community and chi.ldren's theater. "Points aren't easy to obtain; it takes hours of work to earn enough points to become a Thespian, " said sophomore Lynn Damme. The Thespians held the district contest at AL this year. They arranged for food and timers, and made sure the contest was successful. "It ran very smoothly. Most of the centers we re on time," sai~ senior Tim Be rgquist. Adams, Matt Russ~ll .

Key Club manuals listed many things m embers could do, such as cleaning up school grounds and heading paper drives. Mr. Vonnie Tangeman sponsor of the club, admitted the boys didn't do these things. He said most of the members worked or couldn't be at activities for one reason or anothe r. But the club was still worthwhile, according to Mr. Tangeman. He said weekly breakfast meetings h eld in the cafeteria helped the boys to get to know each other better, feel more a part of the school and hea r many Kiwanis speakers. Kiwanians spoke on subjects ranging from stamp coll ecting to th e Holy Land. "I've really enjoyed Key Club," said Kirk H a nson. While Key Club m emb e rship was open to a nyo ne, Courtesy Club m embers were chosen only by sponsors, Mrs. Mary Gepner and Mrs. Carol Tiller, who took recomm endations from sophomore teachers. Mrs. Gepner said girls were se lec ted on the basis of responsibility. Members seated people and handed out programs at plays, concerts and graduation. "It was fun; it gave me a chance to meet new people," said junior Nancy P e t e rs en. The girls also helped people find their way around during th e Open House and math workshop h eld at AL in March. (Z) (1) .. -, - -- -------- COURTESY CLUB.

Foreign language students had to as part of their initiation into language clubs. German Club ·initiation took place at sponsor Peggy Rodriguez's home, where initiates were forced to speak only in German for an hour and a half. They had to draw slips of paper design a tin g th e terribl e tasks they would [3) complete. Some had to drink from baby bottles. Such pranks embarrassed initiate Carl Miller. "I felt like a chicken on a pig farm," he said. Spanish Club initiation was held at member Lyn ne Branigan 's home. Members prepared a delectable concoction of whipped cream, hot peppers chili powder and Tabasco for their initiates. Both clubs raised mon ey through candy sales. German Club's drive was more successful because they sold unique German candy. French Club memb e rs were inactive because sponsor Susan Zinn was out of school for six weeks due to surgery and President Leslie Otto graduated midterm. But students were able to attend a musical revue of French history and get a French actor's autograph . "I thought the performance was super," sa id sophomore Karen Blue. Foreign language club members were asked what they lea rn ed from being in the clubs. " Not much, " sa id senior Richard Dinges. "But we have a lot of fun," quickly added junior Debbi e Johnson .

Science Club kept its members busy through many different activities. In October they held a stargazing campout at DeSoto Bend. A slide and tape presentation by the club informed junior high students of AL's Science Department and pointed out specific ways which we use science in our everyday lives. Money for club activities was partially raised by the annual Science Club raffl e. First prize was a Realistic CB radio. Debate Club spent much of its time preparing for debate tournaments with other schools. "Debaters have to put things in a logical order and do it fast, " said junior Sandy Wichman. Pizza parties often relieved debaters from the rigors of their research. By January they had accumulated a 24-15 winning record. Quill Club almost went out of existence this year due to lack of membership. The six members composed original poems and short stories for their meetings. These compositions and food were the main attractions at most meetings. "Quill Club got off to a bad start but towards the end of the first semester, we got organized and had a pretty good yea r, " said senior Barb Anderson . All three clubs had fun and provided students a chance to expand their interests outside of school. SCIENCE CLUB.

Chaos often reigned as people complained, "I just can't do that page again, no matter how bad it looks! " Out of all this came a much changed yearbook and monthly newspaper. The Echoes staff used a semi-magazine format and wrote more indepth articles on subjects such as vandalism, soaps, and teenage depression. "We had fun doing features, but found we weren't covering enough school news," said junior Patricia Beaver. In their last five issues, the staff tried to improve school coverage with articles about AL departments. Yet they thought their best j ournalistic experiences came from going into the community to cover topics like pornography, housing, and the School Board. The Crimson and Blue staff also made changes. They tried to picture more students, write copy for every page, and use one basic layout style throughout the book. But the staff faced problems. Adviser Linda Smoley said constant complaining was the biggest one. Editor Bill Moore admitted that when students signed up for the course, they expected an easy, relaxing class, but it turned out to be "nothing but hard, hard work." Staffers sometimes had to redo copy or layouts ten times or spend hours searching for quotes. "We were so busy we didn't have time to see what anyone else on the staff was doing," said junior Allison Stock. But when the first proofs came back from the company in March, spirits rose . "Wow! I'm impressed!" was all senior Barb Anderson said when she saw them. 139 140 (2) RIFLE CLUB. FRONT ROW: Jim Marsh, Judy Smith, Matt Petersen, Dan Howell, John Espinosa.

During Rifle Club's first year, members accomplished "hard stuff" such as acquiring range facilities, equipment and ammunition. The Optimist Club provided the equipment and facilities were found at the Dodge Armory. President David Peters expressed a desire to enter ROTC league competition in Omaha next year. "We've got some good talent at AL and we really got in some good practice," he added. The club met every Monday night at the Armory and practiced on targets. Members had to follow .. orders from their line commander to avoid accidents. "It's fun but it's strict. You have to go by certain rules and listen to the line commander or you can get hurt," said junior Larry Britton. Chess Club members also wanted to get into competition. "I think I'm fairly good and I wanted to compete against other schools," said junior Brian Jacobsen. Since no leagues were formed by other schools this year, members played for fun and practice. Tuesday nights after school the members met in the library for games. "We had fun together and probably drove the librarians crazy although they didn't seem to mind," said senior Karen Moritz. "It's nice company and a nice sport." CHESS CLUB. FRONT ROW: Janet Walker, john Moritz. ROW II: Scott Carrier, Karen Moritz.

A second place trophy was earned at the Midland Jazz Festival at Midland College in Fremont, Nebraska. "Winning the first trophy at NWMSU was most rewarding, " said junior Tracy Smith. "It taught us how contests would be run and definitely inspired us to work hard to win more. " To earn the nearly $100 per person for the trip to Denver, Concert Choir members sold M&M's and candy bars at 30¢ each. When they finally got to Denver, they had three concerts to perform, and many sights to see. The choir performed at Colorado University and Fairview High School in Boulder, Colo., and Bear Creek High School in Denver. The rainy, cold and foggy weather hindered their sight-seeing, but not their good times. "We went into the mountains, but couldn't see anything because it was so foggy," said senior Tim DiBlasi, "but being with our fri ends made the trip fun ."

(1) -- -- (5) I Porn pon girls rise early, boogie down Neither rain, nor snow, nor gloom of mar- . ning stopped the 20 porn pan girls from marching with the band. Every morning at 7 a.m. the girls were in the gym, ready to "boogie"; then, during football season, they trudged to the field at 7:30 a.m. to practice for Friday's game. Friday games weren't the girls' only worry. They were disappointed when uniforms didn't arrive on time. Then the miniature porn pan girl emblems were too small to be seen on their sweaters, so the disappointed girls had to use last year's. Cindy Emert summed things up when she said, "We started out with many difficul.ties, but, as usual, we worked them out. " Learning to get along with each other at camp helped the girls solve problems throughout the year. The squad attended camp at Northeast Missouri State University at Kirksville. Julie Oden said, "At first I didn't think that I would be accepted because I was a sophomore, but after our experiences at camp, I found out that age didn't matter. " The practices and summer work paid off when the girls added their own special zip to three parades for which the band won first place trophies. Vicki Peters, squad captain, said, "I feel the year went well and everyone had a good time. I really appreciated Salli Sealock's help as co-captain." H 7 148 ----------------~- - - Varied activities busy cheerleaders Serving breakfast and decorating bedrooms were just two of many activities which kept the cheerleaders busy during this action-filled year. The 26 girls awoke at 5 a.m. on Sept. 23 to awaken the football players at 6 a.m. The girls went in groups of three to drag the players out of bed. They met back at Pam Norsen's house for a breakfast of doughnuts and milk. "Watching the sun rise in a football player's bedroom was exciting," said Peggy Wenstrand, varsity cheerleader. The football f3J players also enjoyed the surprise. "They kept trying to drag me out and I kept trying to drag them in," said Neil Stock, senior tackle. The volleyball players also appreciated the cheerleader's efforts. When the girls volleyball team earned a berth in the State Tournament, the cheerleaders went to their homes while they were in practice. Using multi-colored streamers and balloons, four girls decorated each bedroom. Their efforts succeeded. "We spent hours on the bedrooms. When one of the players called to thank me, it made it all worthwhile," said Suzy Petersen, junior-varsity cheereader. Five male yell-leaders also helped the girls cheer. "I thought it would be kind of fun to do this," said Roger Jensen, junior yellleader. All 26 girls and 5 boys had a busy year, attending most sports activities and trying to "fire up" the school.

The season of one win and eight losses was plagued by injuries, a tough schedule and a defeatist attitude. "Our kids were physically ready but playing four teams which were 7-2 on the year can get a team down mentally," said Coach Don Hinkle. The games which most disheartened the team were against the South High Packers and Tee Jay Jackets. In the South game the Lynx led for much of the first half and looked ready to upset the Packers. The Lynx lost 28-14. "Everyone played their best game of the season as a team and we still lost, which was a great letdown," said Gary O'Brien, defensive standout. The Tee Jay game was lost 7-6 and was probably the toughest to absorb because of the strong traditional rivalry between the teams. "It was the toughest loss of the season for me; it's hard to explain the gut feeling you get when you lose a game like this," said Randy Lambert, defensive captain. Yet a few moments of consolation dotted the season. Randy Lambert, Mike Miller, Jim Brown and Eric Dix were selected to the All City Team. The Lynx won their final game by pounding the Lewis Central Titans 35-20. Mike Miller, offensive end, moaned of the season, "It was an experience I'll never forget." (2) VARSITY FOOTBALL.

The junior varsity sq uad finish ed with a 4-3 record, with victories over TJ, Creighton Prep, Central and Gross. "We h ad a good year, a good team, and the coaches treated us well," said lineman Ken Juel. In order to build the team physically for the next year, the coaches created a new weight lifting program which allowed boys to leave study h alls to work out in the weight room. Both coaches and playe rs looked forwa rd to the n ext year. "These kids should be much stronger next year because of the new we ight lifting program and this yea r's experi ence," said Coach Larry Argersinge r. Lin eman Brad Hansen was also en thusi astic. "With most of the junior varsity players seeing varsity ac ti on this season, we should have a good team next year, " sa id Hansen. "It will be fun to play for larger crowds with better support, " he added. The sophomore team racked up a 4-3 record. Halfback Chris Bagley, wh o accounted for seven touchdowns, and quarte rback Jay He iman, who accounted for six touchd owns, helped lead the ir team to victories over Gross, Benson, Northwest and Creighton Pre p. "The season was fun and n good expe ri ence . I hope we can improve on th e varsity record next yea r," said sophomore standout Scott Lambert. 155 156 Basketball season ends on sour note Even though the varsity and junior varsity basketball teams end ed the ir seasons on sour notes, th ere were a few bright moments. The varsity ended their season 7-11 with five seniors, Randy Shanks, Jeff Carlson, Dana Johnson, Mike Miller a nd Mik e Flynn, l3l concluding their high school careers. The bright spot was Randy Shanks making All City, All Southwest Iowa, All Metro and Honorable Mention on th e Des Moines Register's All State Team. But individual accomplishme nts didn't lessen the disappointments the team fe lt. The secti onal game was a h eartbreake r with the Lynx on the short end of a 66-64 score. The Lynx h ad led throughout the game, losing it in the closing minutes. "We a ll tried hard; it was just too bad we had to lose, " sa id junior Jim Brown . "This seaso n was the biggest disappointment of my high school career. I thought we could have go ne a ll th e way," said Jeff Carlson. The junior varsity put together a season of 10 -6 , w ith a te a m co nsistin g mostl y o f sop h omores.

Lady Lynx suffer disappointing year The Lady Lynx saw many disappointments but worked on developing experience for the following year. The varsity held a record of 7-11. "We just couldn't get our stuff together," said senior Sue Wright. The team suffered complications such as a new coach, injuries, and lack of experience that is needed to play well together. After just three games Coach Thurman Johnson resigned for health reasons and Coach Ron Adams took over. "At first the change affected the team adversely. Toward the end, however, they played pretty good ball. They are a great bunch of girls and they worked hard," said Coach Adams. Ankle injuries seemed to cause the team the most problems. Sophomore Nancy Goecker was also involved in a car .accident, which injured her back. Finally, inexperience played a major part in the poor performance of the team, Three starting guards from last year's team graduated. Next year looked good, however, with 12 returning varsity players. "They have a lot of potential," said Coach Adams. Junior varsity held a record of 15-2. This record was attributed to the fact that many varsity material girls were kept on JV in order to get more playing time and much needed experience, while many other schools moved all their talent to the varsity team. (1) Dawn Pillar attempts to move the ball up court. (2) Beth Gross stays with her girl in the AL-TJ game. (3) Janice Edwards stretches to no avail as her TJ opponent sends the ball to her teammates. (4) Mary Jo Dinovo is on the line at the St. Alberts game. 159 160 (2] Ladies spike way to State tourney The volleyball team overcame the problems of inexperience, little height and poor fan support to finally gain recognition as state contenders. The team, whose average height was 5'5", tied for third in the Metro Area Tournament. The best three out of five games determined the district finals. The girls had to play all five games, alternating each win with a nerve-racking loss to arch rival TJ. "They lost one game 2-15, but they never quit. Their determination pulled them through," said Coach Jan Lyle. But after a heavy Metro schedule, the State Tournament in Dubuque brought disappointment for the 12 varsity players. 'Tm not trying to make excuses, . but we were tired," explained Maureen Muffley. Team members boarded a school bus at 6 a.m. and played their first game only 12 hours later. Since most of the girls were rookies, they didn't know what to expect. "We did the best we could with what we had." said Coach Lyle. In only its second year as a Metro sport, volleyball lacked support from students and faculty. Some players were disappointed with recognition received. "We got the shaft," said player Darla Fisher. "Not until we proved we were state material did we get recognized." Support grew as the year progressed, however. Many fans turned out for the close contest between AL and crosstown rival TJ.

They practiced every day from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., when TJ arrived to use the pool. Both boys and girls swam two miles while conditioning, and a mile and a half when working for speed. Boys held a record of 10-4 but placed a disappointing 11 out of 15 in Metro. Coach Joe Hauser explained the turnabout: "The more people a team has out, the more Metro events they can enter; therefore the bigger team stands a better chance." Girls held a record of 6-6-1. "Materialwise the girls I coached this year were the best we've had," said Coach Hauser. "With the number of girls who went out and stuck with it. we improved," said senior Kim Tays. But both the coach and swimmers agreed that without a pool in town, and only one hour of practice each day, the teams could not be developed to their full potential. 131 Othe r problems w e re s eniors lost to graduation and a steady decline in school support. Several swimmers said they saw more parents than students at meets. Finally, Coach Hauser said some girls failed to try as hard as boys. "Girls don 't seem to be as dependable," he said. He attributed this to their "typical femal e nature ." Senior Ann Kealy admitted that some would show up only twice a week, expecting to swim, but said others practiced every night. BOYS SWIMMING.

(1) I (3) Wrestling squad posts many wins Running, sweating, pumping, starving-wrestlers went through this torture during wrestling season to make weight. For their efforts, the squad compiled a 7-3 winning record and sent two wrestlers to the State Tournament. Wrestlers were generally pleased with the season. "I enjoyed our winning seas.an. This year we had a 7-3 record but it could have easily been 9-1 . We got upset by Benson and Lewis Central," said junior Scott Meadows. Both John Wright and Todd Barritt earned berths in the State Tournament with first and second district places respectively. Although neither boy placed at State, senior Todd Barritt said just getting there "made all the running seem worthwhile." One disappointment came in the CB Tournament. AL earned a first place position but was awarded only second place. No one was aware of the ineligibility of one wrestler until after the tournament when it was too late. Junior varsity wrestlers gained a 5-5 record. Highlights included their 38-21 win over archrival TJ. The varisty squad also won that match at 25-17. Most agreed that making weight was difficult at first. "There were many problems keeping weight down during Christmas," said sophomore Tim Brummer. Many wrestlers said their sport was demanding and fulfilling. "It's a good way to keep in shape," said junior Mike Zaccone. 167 168 ·- .. -- ~ -----~~- Coaches Freeman, Pettepier praised Cross country and bowling teams both praised their coaches. Coach Mick Freeman was able to motivate 17 boys into running 9 to 12 miles per day, "without pressure," said junior Tim Thies. "The coach is really a great guy," said junior Ray Buley. When running, the guys had a lot of time to think. Junior Tim Leibel said he thought about "YES tunes and babes." Those thoughts and his lucky socks seemed to give Tim inspiration. Despite the injuries that plagued the squad, junior Rod Nitcher summed up the 7-5 season by saying, "We had a helluva team." Bowlers said the thing they liked best about their sport was Coach Robert .Pettepier's attitude. "Our coach is fair and doesn't seem to show favoritism," said senior Peggy Stapleton. Every Wednesday from September to April bowlers competed against teams from TJ, Lewis Central, and St. Alberts. In February bowlers with highest averages were selected to go to Red Oak for District Tournament, where they won both first and second places, earning a place in the State Tournament. In Des Moines Team 1 shot a 2186 series and Team 2 a 2083. Sophomore Beth Pettepier led all scorers with a high game of 183 and a series of 485. But just as important as being winning sports, bowling and cross country brought coaches and athletes together. "Even though the boys run alone, I came to be very close to them," said Mr. Freeman.

The ladies were 5-0 before their mid-season match with Marion. With the Lynx ahead in the doubles match 5-3 and needing only one more game to win, Marion turned it on and tied it up 6-6. The Lynx not only lost the tiebreaker but sacrificed the Metro Crown. "It was very disappointing after being so close," said doubles player Denise Zach. Coach Jan Lyle felt the loss could not be pinned to one girl. "They all had a part in the loss .. . .I thought we had more depth," she said. But the girls came back four weeks later to stroke their way to the District Team Title. junior Cathy Crowl captured the singles competition, earning he r a trip to State, and second singles Sue Fa rrell placed third. The boys too came out on the winning side despite the obstacles they had to overcome. They a ttained a fall Metro record of 7-3 and a spring Iowa record of 6-5. "We had a fa ir season; the young team got experience," said Coach Mike Forbes. The team was left inexperienced after the top four positions were vacated by graduating seniors. Bovs a lso suffered from lack of court ac ilit . "We tried to practice on our own, but on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays the courts we re taken until 10 p.m. with lessons, " said first singles player Rick Crowl. GIRLS TENNIS.

(3) (1] Unaggressive bats hurt Lynx offense Weak offense accounted for losing records during the spring baseball season, according to Coaches Ron Adams and Mick Freeman. "We were up and down at the plate, either blasting one pitcher or only scoring a few runs off another." said Coach Adams about the varsity's 6-10 record. The absence of senior standout Eric Dix hurt the team offensively. Dix sat out most of the season due to a broken wrist. 'Tm pretty disappointed at missing the spring season but there is always the summer season," said Dix. The season's pleasant surprises were the hitting of juniors Jim Steines and Mitch Lane and the pitching of junior Jim Brown. Steines led the team in batting at a .381 clip, followed by Lane who hit .350. Other leading hitters were junior Rory Vos (.333] and senior Mike Miller (.320]. Named to the All Metro Team, Brown threw a no-hitter against Ralston in the season's first game. He went on to throw two 3-hitters against Prep and Benson. Recovering from overconfidence which sometimes plagued the team after early season wins, the varsity won their first two summer games against Bryan and TJ. "We were not aggressive enough at the plate," said Coach Mit\:k Freeman a bout the JV's 4-7 season. Leading the squa d were .junior Scott Campbell, who hit .375, and pitchers Chuck Hayes and Jeff Williams. 177 178 -----.- --- - - - ------ (1] Shelly Thomas watches as Judy Neal misses the ball completely.

Since games were played in the summe r, fr eshm e n throug h se ni o rs were able to participate. Although it was a new team, all va rsity membe rs had played on a soft ball league before . " I'm glad they finally got a team sta rted a t this school, " said sophomore Jeani ne Talty. Early practices bega n with calisthenics. Th en th e girls ran laps and sprints, and practiced basic softball skills. As they progressed, they split into teams, practicing their own positions and ba tting. The week before their first game, they went to Wilson's new girls softba ll diamond to practice under the lights, since the ir home games were to be played the re. Prac tices revea led tha t batting ability w2s a ma jor strength of the team. Since many of the freshmen attended Kirn until 5:15 on the split shift, they were un able to make practice. Even though they made up time on Saturdays, the team fea red this would be a disadvantage, especially since they did not plan to practice during the summe r due to a heavy schedule of four games pe r week. The team 's first game was to be aga inst Ha rlan at the Lewis Centra l Tournament. "I fee l we ca n beat Harla n, even though they should be tough." sa id Coach Pe ttepie r . . "f think Gle nwood will be our toughest beca use they've had softba ll for awhile. but we probably have a good cha nce, if our pitchers a re u p that day," pred icted jun ior Judy Neal.

(I) - ----- - ------ - ----- Upsets produce intramural champs A flurry of upsets brought the boys intr<;imural basketball season to an end. M. Pierce's team, Six-Packers and T. Barritt's team were tied for first going into the last game of the season. Although Barritt's team and Pierce's team (who led the league in scoring at a 57:3 clip) needed only to win their last game to gain at least a tie for first place, both were unexpectedly upset, leaving the Six-Packers as champions with a 9-1 record. Although Pierce's and Barritt's teams ended with identical records of 8-2, Pierce's team was awarded second place since they had defeated Barritt's team earlier in the season. The Six-Packers attacked with balanced scoring throughout the season and led the league in team defense, allowing only 34.8 points per game. Leading the scoring attack were seniors Rod Coleman [15.0), Jody Sidebottom [12.0), Rick Pearson [10.9) and Bob Waldron [10.0). Leading the league in scoring was senior Bill Moore of the Mescalheads [22.0), followed by senior Brian Allmon of Barritt's team [17.3), junior Rick Crowl of IBT II [16.4) and senior Dennis Cla rk of the Mean Machine [16.1). Although competition was strong, intramural players were out mainly for the fun. "It was exciting all the way to the end and I thought we had a chance to win the championship, but I guess we will next year, " said junior Rick Johnson of Pierce's team. M .

BACK ROW: 181 (2) 182 Girls intramurals add aerial darts The girls huddled together. They began to jump up and down screaming, "GO! GO! GO!" After this strategy planning session, they broke up, ready for a vigorous game of aerial darts or volleyball. This was often the scene during girls intramurals sponsored by Mrs. Janet Mitchell. This was the first year aerial darts were included in the intramural program. Mrs. Mitchell said the sport made the program year-round and met student interest. "We didn 't get to play aerial darts in P.E., so it was a change of pace, " said junior Rosalie Johnson. "I liked singing "Tea for Two." I think my song led us to defeat. You never knew, though, when you would get slapped on the tush with a paddle," she added. Before beginning aerial darts, the girls played volleyball. "Intramural volleyball was a good way for girls who didn't want to go out for the volleyball team to play competitively," said junior Denise Sweem. "It was especially nice to know you had the ability to win . Our team lost all the practice games but won the championship in the final tournament," she added. The winners also played the teachers but lost 15-8 in a grueling game. ,.. Basketball began in early March and was played on a round robin basis. Each team played each other once. "At times we thought our team wouldn 't make it without causing a dispute with our opponent," said junior Linda Rogic. "But all in all, intramural basketball was fun and quite amusing at times."

Matinee performances often prompt cat calls and snide remarks from students, but this one was different. " I liked it. You could tell it was good because students didn't yell harsh remarks," said Estela Mendoza '78. "They did a great job acting. It was the best play I've seen at AL," said Jim Drennen '78. Teachers were surprised by both the professionalism of the production and the reaction of students. "I thought it was tremendous," said Don Scheibeler, English instructor. " I was amazed how many students were praising it as they came through the lunch line." Though many hours of practice resulted in praise, they didn't eliminate all problems. The fight scene was never perfected. Tim Hastings 3 '78, the big Russian, was supposed to fake a punch at Darren Grote '78, who portrayed the rebellious student, Perchic. Thursday, however, Hastings hit Grote's ear, knocking him out for five seconds; Friday he narrowly missed giving him a bloody nose; and Saturday he split Grete's lip. B.ut the slight imperfections must not have bothered audiences, which gave the cast standing ovations each night. Parties as well as generous applause helped relieve tension and fear of mistakes. Most of the cast and orchestra attended the closing night party at sophomore Shawn Gibson's. Foosball and pool games didn't break up until almost 2:30 a.m. "Everybody involved felt the play went well and we made an impression on the audience," said Jim Thorn '78, who played the lead, Tevye. 4 6 7 5 (1) Kissing completes marriage of Motel (Roger Jensen) and Tzeitel (Joanie Mitchell) performed by Rabbi (Andrew Hartfield), as Greg Jones sings " Sunrise-Sunset" with the chorus.

When the bell finally rang, they dashed to the nearest exit, to escape for the weekend. Dancing at discos and getting "high" at parties were popular with most students polled. "I like to dance around the house and at parties," said Kristi Mahan '79. While singles "boogied down," couples preferred movies and dinners at Top of the World or Mister C's. "My boyfriend and I like to go to movies and have romantic dinners. My favorite place to eat is Mister C's," said Robin Wambold '80. Students agreed being with thier friends was the most important part of their weekend. "Adul ts think kids like to drink and cause trouble, but that's not true," said Darla Fisher '78. "My most enjoyable weekends are spent with my friends gathering and talking." Other students found satisfaction just cruising around town. "My friends and I drive up and down Broadway looking for babes,'' said Scott Brooks '79. After an active Friday night and a long week of school, many slept late Saturday morning. "I spend my Saturdays sleeping until 1 or 2 p.m. ," said Rhonda Conaway '79. While some slept, more active students went hunting, horseback riding or snowmobiling. "Snowmobiling is an exciting sport because it's different and it gives you a chance to get around in the winter," said PalJla Hunter '79. Othe rs spent afternoons shopping. "My favorite place to shop is Westroads," said Jill Searcy '79, " especially Susie's Casuals for clothes." Packed weekends ended too quickly for most stu dents.

The yellow bus wobbled as players boarded, stomping and screaming, "We're number ONE!" and slapping and hugging each other all the way to their seats. These were sights and sounds of a 12-7 upset over Gross. "It was the first time we've won our Homecoming in four years," said Marcie Warm '78. "It was great." In the final 52 seconds, quarterback Rory Vos '78, completed a 17-yard pass to offensive end Jeff Pettepier '78. "We marched the entire length of the field in less than two minutes and capped tt:ie drive with an exciting pass to win the game," said fullback Tim Hastings '78. Players felt ready for the game. "We really got fired up," said center S<;:ott Meadows '78. The letters A-L-L-1-S-O-N were also "fired up" at half time as fireworks spelled out queen Allison Emerine's name. Parade enthusiasm couldn't match that of the game. Only 23 students out of 79 polled went to the parade. "They seem to be the same year after year," said Debbie Denny '78. But many seniors remembered one difference. A few senior float builders changed their original idea to "Brewin' for a Victory," and topped the float with beer kegs. Officials didn't judge the float because they said its theme was not on the entry list. Some resented the float's disqualification but others were angry at the last minute change. "I was really upset when a few people changed it without asking anyone else," said Teresa Cheatham '78.

All the students agreed school in their home countries had been strictly for studying. Ben Gottreux from Chile attended seven elective classes each day at AL. He was used to taking 12 required classes in Santiago. "At home there was no time to play around in school," Gottreux said. Nkola Robinson from England said course requirements were so rigorous there that attendance was no problem because students were afraid of falling behind in class. Our referral system, then, seemed ridiculous to Robinson. "It's almost as if they're sending out a warrant for your arrest. But then all you have to do is sign the warrant and you're free to skip again - it's ridiculous," she said. Accustomed to heavy academic pressures and little time for fun, exchange students were surprised at the number of extracurricular activities here. Instead of attending .basketball games, wrestling matches and play practices, students in Finland usually had to study two hours every night or stay up all night preparing for a test, according to Heini Tuominen of Finland. To spend time with friends in their various countries, studying together had been a nightly activity for the foreign students. "We usually got together and studied on weeknights," said Libertad Aguirre from Mexico. "Otherwise we wouldn't socialize." Although school sports existed in the foreign countries, they weren't spectator sports. "In Germany, we didn't go watch the games. We ' didn't have cheerleaders or pompon girls, ei- ther. It was so exciting to see everyone here yelling and screaming for each other," said Eva Hansen from Germany. So for the foreign exchange students, living in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for a year was a relaxing break from the rigors of scholastic obligations and a revelation of the many ways American teenagers live the good life. "The experience is so big and beautiful, you can't even find words for i t," said Hansen. 1 18 foreign exchange students D ~-~ -- _-=-_---_:-_--~---- 2 (1) Looking up student files is one of Heini Tuominen's duties as she· works in the guidance office.

What d id he say? ... Well, hurry up before someone else asks him! . . . I'm scared he ' ll say no." Girls whispered such questions, warnings and fears to each other almost hourly, as the days before Christmas Dance went by. Boys waited to be asked, then planned predance parties and made dinner reservations for later. The week before was filled with preparations. Girls spent hours deciding who to ask and finding the perfect dress. Fore ign Club members made a new ceiling for the gym with silver stars and white streamers. They added touches of romance and sparkle with t i nsel, mistletoe and a mirror ball. Couples liked the decorations but were disappointed they didn't remain up throughout the dance. "I saw the gym that afternoon and it looked good, but by 10 o 'clock that e vening almost everything had been torn down by people wanting a souvenir," said Darla Powell '79. Many thought Travis' easy-to-dancet o music was the best part of the evening. "I had a great time. The band was good and everyone danced with everyone, not only their own dates," said Bob G ress '79. After nearly three hours, tired d ancers were ready for something to eat. Many went to Mr. C's, Top of the World or Caniglia's and join ed other couples for dinner. Excitement of the dance linge r ed throu gh the following week. Halls were filled with chat - ter about the special n ight. "I loved your dress ... Did you go to a party before the dance? . . . We r eally had a great time at Mr. C's, didn 't we?" Christmas Dance was over, but the m e m o - ries had just begun. 8 christmas dance 21 • 2 22 roadshow Audiences tickled with musical, comedy variety Roadshow '78 had something for everyone. Classical and contemporary music, comedy skits and disco dances satisfied audiences. Music included piano selections from Chopin and Brahms, 50's and 60's nostalgia, curr~ nt hits and even an original song composed by Al's own band director Jim Misner. Tim Williams '79, was the musical hit of the show. He created a sensation with his guitar and harmonica that transfixed the audience and left them yearning for more. Some students thought he sounded professional. "The roadshow was good, especially Tim Williams and Jackie Kurt's rendition of "Dust in the Wind." "They sounded just like the record," said Kim Gartin '78. Comedy skits in-eluded "Roller Skate Rag," featuring roller skaters clad in long johns and tutus, tripping and falling in slapstick fashion; and "The Ding-a-lings," showing two aspiring acrobats struggling to do dangerous feats such as jumping off chairs and rolling forward and backward. The comical hit had to be "Apathetic Bandstand." Fans roared as "hippies" exaggeratedly clad in "boss threads" of the 60's tried to "get down" to some rock 'n roll. Appearances by "The Sweet Sic-Teens" and "Captain Chirp and the Tweets" (dancing chickens) had some viewers practically rolling in the aisles. Dances ranged from solos to intricately choreographed steps to current music such as "Close Encounters." As a finale, the Swing Choir boogied to songs of the 50's. Guys with greased-back hair and girls dressed in gaudy flaired skirts and bobby sox swung to oldies but goodies such as " Rockin' Robin" and "The Peppermint Twist."

' Even though the 70's are the age of women's lib, our poll showed that it was almost always the boy who asked the girl out, usually by phone. Blind dates were not uncommon, but they were not favorites either. "I don't like blind dates because you don't know what to expect," said Brian McCall '79. If you thought the age of chivalry was gone, you were wrong. Guys overwhelmingly said they still werit to the door for their date and met her parents. Before leaving her house, a time limit was usually set. Between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. was average, but the present midnight city curfew restricted sophomores. Just as in the 50's, groups met at local hangouts, but by '78, pizza joints had replaced hamburger joints. Cruising was as popular in 1978 as it was in 1950, but when asked why they did it, students gave answers like philosophy instructor Roger Kuhl's, who said, "We always went driving around looking for the action, but we never did find it." Going to a movie and out to eat was probably the most popular date. But compared with the cost of about $5 during the 50's, students found such dates in 1978 cost an average of $10 to $15. One difference between the 50's and today was the trend of staying free. Over two-thirds polled said they'd rather date many different people than go steady. "Everybody should be able to go out with whoever he wants, whenever he wants and not get involved set iously with one person," said Dennis Jerkovich '79. So in 20 years, the concept of a great date had not changed: "A guy and a girl should just go out and have a good time, so they'll always remember it," said Chris Griffin '79. 24 dating 2 4 (1) A phone conversation is the next best thing to being there for Carolee Joslyn and Don Schoeppner.

Interest stirred as a jury of 12 students was chosen from the matinee audience to judge the trial in The Night of January 16. A few teachers were given the chance to serve on the jury during one evening performance. "We really did get some arguing going when deciding the verdict," said instructor Jeff Haun. "Two little old ladies got so hot I had to repeatedly remind them that it was just a game." But the interest of jury members didn't carry over into the general audience during the matinee, as many students slept through long questioning and counter questioning by attorneys on stage. "It was boring until the end when all the answers were revealed in Larry Regan's testimony," said Chuck Hayes '79. Most sleepers were awakened, though, by screaming actors appearing from nowhere who came running through the audience to the stage. "Their yells made me jump out of my chair and wake up to see what was happening," said Debbie Denny '78. To keep the audience interested while the jury deliberated, each witness was spotlighted on the dark stage as he repeated a key line of his testimony. "The solo shots at the end were good because they made you remember what was said and caused you to think about the verdict," said Julie Ozaydin '80. All performances but one ended in a guilty verdict. Members of the last jury said they voted not guilty just to see if the ending would change. But it didn't. The judge told them their decision was contrary. to the evidence and banned them from the jury rolls for five years. Even though many in the audience said the ending was ridiculous, almost everyone laughed uproariously at the judge's pronouncement. 26 all-school play 6 5 (1) Between acts, the bailiff (Roger Black) has his make-up touched up by Joanie Mitchell.

Pep fans suggest ways to rekindle dying spirit Bleachers throbbed under pounding feet, animated crowds cheered spontaneously, and football players ran to the middle of the gym slapping each other on the back. A new spirit pervaded the first three pep assemblies. But it didn't last. As losses became more frequent than wins, and assemblies became more routine, spirit dwindled until the gym was filled with blank faces and motionless bodies, relishing only the forty minute relief from classes. Finally, disgusted with persistent apathy and a refusal of approximately 75 students to return to class after one assembly, administrators cancelled assemblies indefinitely. When they resumed in February, spirit wasn't any better, and talk concerned improving it. One idea was to have assembly attendance optional. "Little spirit can be obtained from students who are forced to attend," said Phil Thomas '79. But others felt the whole school should attend and each person should encourage others to participate. "Students should get more spirit. This should come from the cheerleaders, other students and all the faculty," said Jim Ferguson '80. Another suggestion was to improve the choice of cheers. "Cheerleaders should use short gut cheers - ones with feeling that are easy to follow," said instructor Joe Clausen. Fans agreed that the long, complicated cheers bored them because they couldn't follow along. The "Pink Panther" cheer, in particular, received many sneers and boos from the crowd. Remembering enthusiastic assembl ies, many people hoped to rekindle that lost spirit for future assemblies. 6 pep assemblies 29 3 Romantic ballroom setting adds to Prorri uniqueness / Get a drink from the bar, stomp your feet and clap your hands . .. it's Prom! Carter Lake Ballroom held 228 couples April 22, during the Junior-Senior Prom. It was the first time the dance had been held anywhere other than the Council Bluffs Fieldhouse. Most who attended the dance were glad it was held in the ballroom. "It was a lot nicer than seeing paper decorations falling down all over the gym. And you had comfortable seats to sit in if you didn't feel like dancing," said Janice Bridenbaugh '78. Small tables with white linen tablecloths and candles surrounded the dance floor to provide comfortable romantic seating. Soft drinks from the ballroom'? bar also helped to refresh the active dancers and add a spark of specialty to the night. Clapping, stomping couples filled the dance floor throughout most of the night, swinging each other as Red Rider Band fiddled and strummed. Although some found the country music difficult t o dance fo, everyone gave it a try. "Even though some songs were hard to dance to, they were good, and we've never had a country band before," said Ken Juel '78. Dancing wasn 't limited t o students. More teachers than ever before danced .. right along with students. Parents of the Prom Court were also invited to the dance and joined in on the dance floor for a fun-filled evening. 30 prom 7 PROM COURT.

The classroom was still alive with students. Michelle Lange '78, continued staring at the papers before her. At 8 o'clock the following morning, she was back at school to finish her yearbook deadline. By 10 a.m., she was at her job in the Brandeis lingerie department. She was only one of the surprising number of students who held down jobs and continued to be involved in extracurricular activities. Most students surveyed weren't pressured into obtaining jobs. Many worked for spending money. Others felt more self-reliant and thought the responsibility was good for them. But for most, work was no reason to stay out of school activities. One-half of the Swing Choir and over one-third of the newspaper and yearbook staffs worked. Over half of the honor roll students also held jobs. Students who worked learned, however, that work was no excuse in the eyes of teachers and sponsors. Porn pan girls, for instance, were allowed only three excused absences. Then they received demerits, which could result in elimination from the squad. So the trick seemed to be finding a flexible job. Some students were able to do this. Basketball player Mary Jo Dinovo '78, for example, could work whenever she had the time at Jeans-N-Things. But for many students, such jobs were hard to find . Many employers thought the job came first. Brandeis, Soundland and Sei f erts were just three examples of employers who wouldn 't accommodate students ' extracurricula r schedules. When that was the case, rather than sacrificing either their job or school activities, many students simply learned to budget their time. 5 working student 33 4 Strict rule enforcement deters skippers, loiterers Students returning in the fall found many changes, all part of the administration's effort to create a "more academic atmosphere." · Students who used to wander aimlessly through the halls almost any time of day soon encountered teachers demanding passes and nailing those without one. Many students thought pass checking went too far. "Checking passes is outrageous," said Dale Dilts '79. "They take you to the office and hassle you for no reason." Dan Wohlers '80 agreed. "They treat us like little kids. Teacher~ have to check out everything you do." Students were even more shocked when they found they couldn't get out of the building. Teachers guarded exits to the parking lot almost every period, discouraging would-be skippers and those accustomed to Sam's lunches. Most students understood the monitoring during all periods except fifth. " The campus should be open during lunch, but not during regular classes because it tempts students to skip," said Rick Norsen '79. Another change was evident in the student lounge, which once harbored crowds of rowdy students, listening to blaring music. Constant patroling kept the lounge almost empty, and the one-year-old stereo system was rarely turned on. Students grumbled incessantly that the money spent on the stereo was wasted, but many teachers said they welcomed the quiet. studious atmosphere. Smokers disliked the relocation of the smoking area from the fieldhouse entrance to the back of the school. Student s were now forced to literally run for a quick smoke before the tardy bell rang. Most people, however, saw the benefits of the change. "The front of the building is clean, and skipping is reduced," said Mark Daugherty '79. Although students complained, they learned to accept the changes. Teachers even eased up slightly as the year wore on. And administrators happily reported that the new policies resulted in higher grades and better attendance. 34 rules 2 .---. ==i~ I · I .. ~ ...

Assistant Principal Don Moxley broke tension with a speech before the march. "I told some of you that if you graduated, I wanted to be the first to congratulate you. Well, congratulations!" he said. This brought a rousing cheer from the nervous seniors. Cheers also resounded during language instructor Lois Alter's commencement speech. Beginning with "Let's get this over with and get on to more important stuff" and ending with "Goodnight, goodbye and God bless you all," she mixed humor with seriousness. After telling the graduates to have a good time, she spoke seriously about the future. She wished them success, defining it not as fame and fortur.c, but as "living well, laughing often and loving many." She reminded them that any success they might achieve would be the result of hard work, not luck or chance. Finally, using Shakespeare's words, she advised them to be true to themselves. After the ceremony, some graduates ran through the halls hooting and hollering as they turned in their gowns, while others cried and hugged each other, realizing they would never walk down those halls or see many of their friends and teachers again. 3 36 graduation 2 7 (1) With smiling faces, Estela Mendoza and Sharon Oakes show excitement after graduation.

Students swarmed around vending machines between classes and consumed 250 ice cream cones daily. A survey of 100 students showed the average amount of money spent on junk foods was 90 cents per day. Ninety percent of those questioned believed students didn't eat balanced diets. "Kids would rather eat junk foods because they are inexpensive and taste better," said Lori Brooks '80. While the popularity of junk foods grew, so did the intake of fast foods. A new Taco Johns, Burger King and Pizza Hut sprang up in one semester to bring the number of quick food stops to sixteen. One survey showed only 20 out of 50 students ate the majority of their meals at home with their families. "I like to eat out with my friends because I have a better time with th~m," said Karen Belt '80. Obviously, many students didn't know or didn't care that a Big Mac, regular size trench fries, and a chocolate shake added up to 1115 calories.

When the city council tried to solve the problem by proposing a curfew for. everyone under eighteen, Bill Croghan '78, armed with AL students' signatures, spoke at a council meeting. Protests resulted in a watered down ordinance which forced only those under seventeen to be home by midnight. But the vandalism rate didn't go down. Police reported that both before and after the curfew was passed, acts of vandalism averaged seven incidents a night. Many sophomores said the curfew had little effect on them, because they had to be home by midnight anyway. But the majority thought the curfew was pointless. "People can do the same thing before midnight as they do after midnight," said Stephanie Hansen '80. "I don't think it's the sixteen and under doing the vandalism; it's the seventeen and above," said Scott Harter, '80. Others thought they had a better solution. "One is to have more police in rougher areas, where vandalism. occurs," said Jim Ferguson '80.

They rediscovered dresses, and some occasionally sauntered down the hall in ruffled skirts with frilly blouses. Girls who wanted a more tailored look turned to gauchos or suits with high boots. "I think gauchos are neat, especially on tall girls," said Connie Johnson '80. Even jeans looked dressy in '78 as they were topped with striped or pastel sweaters accented at their soft cowl necks with stick pins. For many, jeans remained a favorite. "Jeans are casual and comfortable, and they're easier to get into," said Teg Karr '80. And there were shoes to go with everything. They ranged from high heeled, almost bare sandals to heavy, awkward hiking boots, earth shoes and wooden clogs. "I like the higher heeled shoes; they make me taller and I need it!" said Kim Kuhlmann '80. For a final touch, many girls found room for two earrings in an earlobe, making doubled-pierced ears the newest fad. So from head to toe, feminine fashion was an important part of life in 1978. - Steve James Barb Jensen Bruce Jensen Connie Johnson Marty Johnson Mary Johnson Greg Jones John Jones Kurt Jones Rick Jones Carolee Joslin Chris Juel Teg Karr Mark Keast Denise Kelsay 44 sophomores (1) Casual and dressed up sides of '78 are shown by Molly Platter and Brinda Osler.

Copycat epidemic "Pssst .. . what's the answer to number 4? .. . Scoot your paper over so I can see!" SCJch whispering was not uncommon during tests. Nervous test takers also admitted scribbling notes on hands, tiny pieces of paper or desks before tests. In fact, 71 out of 100 students surveyed said they cheated regularly. Copying someone else's paper to finish a daily assignment was the most popular form . Some students said their main reason for cheating was lack of time. "When kids have too much homework, they feel forced to cheat," said Joni Perry '80. More students, however, admitted homework was neglected because of laziness and procrastination. Many realized cheating wouldn 't help them in the long run . "Your grade may be high, but actually you haven't learned anything from cheating," said Angie Pogge '80. Anxieties accompanied cheating, according to students. They feared getting caught or not knowing material for the next test. Many admitted they often felt a trace of guilt. " Kids are glad they've passed but feel. ashamed if they have to cheat," said Dave Preucil '80. Nevertheless, most cheaters said they did not intend t o stop.

New stars and tremendous variety characterized the movies of '78. You might have seen Henry Winkler as a Vietnam vet whose only escape from the horrors of war was his empty dream of a worm farm (" Heroes"); Richard Dreyfus as an ordinary family man obsessed with visions implanted by beings from another world ("Close Encounters"); or John Denver as a grocery store manager who received a note from God ("Oh, God!" ). A survey taken of 85 movie fans showed "Star Wars" was the favorite. Over 200,000 movie goers saw it at Indian Hills Theater. Time reported that some people saw it as many as 40 times. Most AL students liked the movie for its unique far-off galaxy theme and its humor. The next favorite, according to the poll, was " One On One," the story of a small town basketball hero trying to adjust to anonymity at ·a large college. Basketball players were especially able to identify with his struggles ~n d achievements. In a year of such variety, almost everyone found a movie to call his favorite.

Can I borrow $10 for gas?" was a common question once a student reached that special dream ·of owning his own car. More than half of 65 students surveyed owned their own cars. Most said it was time for them to become more independent. "I hated asking my parents to take me places; now I can go where I want- to," said Kelly DeYeager '79. Those in extracurricular activities said the early arrival and limited stops of the activity bus made a car of their own a necessity. But the convenience was costly. Aside from the initial expense of the car (approximately $3000 for a '72 make), students often spent $10 a week on gas. Insurance was costly too. An insurance policy in a teen's name ran from $400 to $900 a year. Students surveyed paid an average of $25 a month. And repairs drained some pocketbooks. One student reported that in a three-week period she was forced to spend $80 on brake relining and $40 on tow jobs. In order to meet the high costs. many students worked mainly to pay for their cars. "I wanted my own car to go places, but now I have to work 30 hours a week to support my car," said Jane Chapman '79. So the cars which students thought would give them freedom sometimes became a burden.

I wonder if my car will start today? ... Do you have an extra sweater I could borrow?'' Through chattering teeth, students asked these familiar questions as they shivered their way through one abnormally cold winter day after another. For over 40 days in January and February, the mercury failed to creep above the freezing point, creating the longest cold spell on record since 1936. Students bundled up in big furry coats, layers upon layers of sweaters and sometimes even a pair of mittens as they traveled through corridors heated only to 60° F. The coldest area of the school was the cafeteria, where a high ceiling, gigantic windows and wide open doors allowed warm air to escape. For fear of frostbite, those assigned to cafe study halls dug out their passes and headed for warmer 68°F classrooms. Though numbed by the cold, students felt they were lucky compared to those on both coasts, where treacherous floods and killer blizzards took lives. The only things they would have traded Easterners for were a few snow days. They had almost given up hope when a winter storm dumped ten inches of snow on Iowa, giving them a two-day vacation just in time for Valentine's Day. 52 juniors 2 -- ·~llii;;::=--- (1) "Give it some more gas," yells Calvin Miller as he and Rick Johnson help a friend jump start a frozen car.

Communication count1 Across the nation, lack of discipline and violence characterized schools in 1978. Tfme reported that 32 teachers in New York City were physically attacked in the first six weeks of the school year. But Al's atmosphere was a striking contrast. Students and teachers often talked, joked and participated in activities together. A random poll of 50 students showed most felt they had good relationships with their teachers. Most thought teachers' efforts to listen to their problems and opinions made the difference. "I don't think there is a discipline problem here, mainly because there is good communica- · tion between students and teachers,'' said Carolyn Johnson '79. Teachers' showing interest in individual students seemed to be the key. "Most of the teachers show interest in students by being there to answer questions," said Mary Anne Nurse '79. Of the eight students who said they had poor relationships, all felt their teachers were too busy to spend time with them. They criticized teachers for rushing out of the room the moment the bell rang. Some said if classes were smaller, teachers could spend more time with students individually. Al's atmosphere was good but students saw room for improvement.

Contacts created many humorous and unusual incidents. One girl who left her contacts in too long while working late at school came home with bloodshot eyes and was accused by her father of being drunk. One teacher adm itted to having the whole class search for her contact. A few m inutes later, s he found it in her eye. Sixty-eight out of 324 students who needed corrective eye wear chose contacts, despite the occasional embarrassing situations. Soft lenses are supposedly easier on the eyes, but the h igher cost ($300-$450) and daily ca re drove many students to hard. lenses, which cost from $150 to $200. Some students got contacts to improve t he ir appeara nce. " I think my face looks better without all the hardware of frames , ' ' said Mary Polak '79. Others got them to el i m inate the hass les with glasses. " I got used to contacts and it seemed l ike th ey weren't there ," said Sandi Reel '79.

It was such a shock because he seemed immortal, 11 said Karen Blue '79, about the death of Elvis Presley on Aug. 14, 1977. Many Americans reacted with sadness, dismay and sometimes mania as they learned of the deaths of famous co_untrymen d_uring the '78 school year. While parents saw fong-time idols Bing Crosby, Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin and Guy Lombardo die, students were most affected by the deaths of Hubert Humphrey, Elvis Presley and Lynyrd Skynyrd rock stars. - ·_ Within 24 hours of Presley's death, fans emptied Brandeis of all his albums. Three days later, the store received shipments of t-shirts, jewelry and statues, which fans gobbled up in a matter of weeks. Although they won't receive the lasting fame of Presley, the plane crash deaths of Lynyrd Skynyrd rock stars saddened students who loved their music. But many Americans of all ages were touched most by the courageous death of Hubert Humphrey after a long fight against cancer. Though not all students agreed with his politics, most realized he was an honest man whose decency refreshed them after the Watergate Era. "He .. was a good man who seemed to care about everyone, 11 said Denise Trzeciak '79.

Gone from most st udy halls was t he noisy, carefree atmosphere of 1977 when rock music, card playing, tardiness, chess playing and unauthorized visiting were allowed. In an effort to maintain what administrators cal led a more academic atmosphere, most teachers refused t o ·ease up as the year progressed. After the bell rang, students in some study halls had to wait until there was silence to be dismissed. " Study halls seem so confined. It's a lot easier to study in a place where you want to study," said Bob McElroy '78. Inconsistencies in the way different teachers ran study halls also upset students_. While some teachers required students to bring books to st udy and sent letters to parents of students who didn't make use of their study time, other teachers allowed st udents t o play cards and visit freely. "It's not fair that most teachers 'enforce the rules while there are others who don't," said Kelly Keane '78. Everybody agreed that stricter study halls made them strive harder for an honor pass so t hey could escape the forty minutes of quiet confinement.

Seniors found their last year filled with decisions. One of these was whether to go to college. Because of the 5 percent increase in college tuition last year, many thought carefully about whether it was worth the time and expense. "College is worth it, so you can go into the career you want to," said Cathy Crowl '78. But many disagreed that the time and expense of college would pay off. "It's a four year waste which costs too much," said Kevin Collins '78. Without aid students faced the possibility of paying around $3000 per year for in-state colleges, $4000 for out-of-state, $6000 and up for private and $500 to $1000 for community. Many chose to attend college near home to save approximately $1000 for room and board fee. "It's a lot cheaper to live at home and go to college," said Mary Brower '78. But hope of gaining independence and growing socially persuaded many to choose colleges some distance from home, despite the higher costs. " I wanted to be more on my own. I picked Northwest Missouri State because it didn't cost an arm and a leg to attend," said David Coffey '78. While '78 graduates were making final decisions, many in the classes of '79 and '80 wondered how the steadily rising cost of college would affect them in the next two years.

Some players said gaining points wasn't their objective. "Most of my time was spent concentrating on staying on the donkey rather than putting the ball through the hoop," said Cindy Farrell '78. To make the game even more difficult, players had to be on the donkey to pass or shoot and had to be touching the animal to catch or play defensively. Staying on was tough when stubborn donkeys often refused to move, forcing their riders to dismount and pull them to the ball. Other more mischievous donkeys would raise their back legs in the air, bucking their poor riders to the floor. The onery variety of dorikey would stop and put their heads down, sending their riders sliding to the floor. " You didn't know what the donkey was going to do next," said Mike Freese '78. Teammates said their "secret of success" was stationing people on opposite ends of the court and passing the ball rather than moving it. But the team gave the donkeys some credit. After accepting the championship trophy, Jim Steines '78, patted his donkey on the back end, saying, "You did a good job, you ass!"

Senioritis was a disease that seemed to strike twelfth graders almost without warning. Its curious symptoms included muttering "Only ( ) more days" and "Why didn't I graduate midterm?"; wearing keys around the neck and carrying memory books in hand; and passing out mug shots, bearing a faint resemblance of the bestower, to one and all. There were no apparent physical consequences. Those stricken with the plague didn't develop spots, just a slight glassiness or distant look in their eyes. The effects varied in degree of severity. Some seniors were able to concentrate (slightly) and function fairly normally. Others were "drained" so that schoolwork became impossible to complete. Those "disturbed" individuals drifted aimlessly from class to class. This indisposition was highly contagious and caused its captives to feel far superior to the sophomore and junior ranks. The only remedy for this strange malady seemed to be graduation. As the affliction was exorcised through the rites of graduation, it refused to release its grip without a struggle. The victims were observed crying with tears of joy and sadness. The memories of this harmless ailment would dwell within them forever. The epidemic waned but another lurked in the "cement work" patiently awaiting next year's unsuspecting prey.

"Quit Smoking for a Day," a national campaign occurring Nov. 17, was a failure at AL. Posters and stickers appeared throughout buildings and in newspapers urging people to quit smoking for a day and break the habit. But on Nov. 17, the smoking area had just as many students in it as usual. A poll of 100 random students showed 36 percent smoked cigarettes. Only 12 of the smokers planned to quit. Students smoked for different reasons. Some smoked because their friends did and it made them feel important, while others smoked for relaxation . "I smoke because I got into the habit and now I like the taste," said Jeff Jorgensen '78. Several students wanted to quit but found breaking the habit wasn't easy. "I tried quitting, but it is too hard because everypody around me smokes. It takes a lot of will power," said Kathy Utterback '78. Although many students smoked, the majority didn't. "I don't smoke because there is no advantage to it; the money yotJ put into it just goes up in smoke," said Pat Hensley '78.

Cars creeping up and down Bonham .. . students battling for parking spaces and dodging cars to board busses - both were part of the frustrating task of getting to and from school during much of the '78 school year. During most of the year construction of the crumbling front entrance forced students to pour out of small back exits and make dangerous trips on ice-covered walkways to busses parked in front. Winter made Bennett Avenue treacherous too. By spring, mammoth chuckholes made the street a giant obstacle course. "It was really hard to drive on. You had to go super slow or you'd lose your tires," said Stephanie Knudsen '78. But chuckholes were nothing compared to the inconvenience when the city closed Bennett for repaving. As traffic was detoured, Franklin began to look like a thoroughfare during 5 o'clock rush . Cars on Bonham moved sluggishly as others waited to turn into the parking lot. Streams of cars waited behind school busses stopped on the crests of Gleason's roller-coaster hills. Susses took up more than 20 spaces. Students often drove aroand many times before finding a space; others parked on grass or along the road until stopped by police. For one year, getting to school was almost as bad as sitting through the day's worst class.

Married students faced many ups and downs as they kept up with school work while trying to build a new life as a couple. Financial responsibilities seemed to be the biggest problem among married couples. "There are so many things to buy for the house, like groceries, that take most of our money," said one married AL student. "Clothes and albums took most of my money when I was single, but they are luxuries now." Along with financial problems, there was the challenge of keeping a full-time job and being involved with school. "Sometimes there are so many things to do, that not all my homework gets done," said another married student. Weekends full of parties and shopping trips with friends often changed after marriage. "We still go to parties just like anyone else, but I guess you would say there's no flirting, like there used to be," said one student. Even though an early marriage meant many new adjustments, most couples agreed always being together made everything worthwhile. seniors 73 Sharon Oakes Jayne Oden Lori Oden Kim Ommerman Lynne Pariseau Joni Pearson David Peters Jacob Peters Mark Petersen Monte Petersen Nancy Petersen Suzanne Petersen Gail Peterson Terri Peterson Kim Pettengill Jeffrey Pettepier Michael Pierce Mark Pierson Kevin Pike David Pischel Julie Powell Nancy Prichard Douglas Prior Linda Prochaska Barb Pursell Jeanne Randall Todd Ranney Dennis Rash 74 seniors 1 - (1) Getting ready for their next patient, Jennifer Draper and Patti Schettler prepare x-ray table at Mercy Hospital.

" Students found this was an easy phrase to finish when they were kids, but as graduation neared, it became more difficult . Both sexes found more fields were opened to t hem than they had dreamed. Girls could choose new fields such as truck driving, space technology and many others that used to be male-oriented. " I would like to pursue biochemistry because I found it interesting while doing my research project in chemistry,'' said Ruth Barnett '78. Many students found it hard to choose a career out of the many fields available. "I've narrowed down my choices to anthropology and environmental conservation, but I haven't decided for sure," said Beth Gross '78. While some students were unsure of their futures, others were luckier, finding part time jobs that led t o career interests. "I have worked at Interstate Electric," said Mitch Lane '78. " I enjoyed working with people and this was why I chose business management as a fut ure field." Most seniors were interested in finding careers that were interesting and sat isfying rather than high paying. "I'm going to be spending a lot of time working, so I want to do something I enjoy," said Donna Stenberg '78. Overall, male or female, student s found the opportunities were unlimited - and confusing. seniors 75 ,,____ Favorite family A small boy, whose seven brothers and sisters were in jail for disturbing the peace, walked into the police station holding a cat almost as big as himself. The cop at the desk asked if he needed help. "Yes," said Nicholas, "I stole a cat, so now I am a cat burglar. Can I be put in jail?" Sound like a true-to-life situation of the typical American family? No, but the Bradfords of ABC's " Eight is Enough" were the favorite family of AL students, according to a poll. Most students liked the show, because it mixed humor and happy endings with the chaos, fighting and occasional tragedy most real families suffer. " I like "Eight is Enough" because even if it's really sad, the happy endings and comedy spots throughout make me feel less depressed," said Lori Shearer '78. The most lovable characters, according to students, were Nicholas and Joni. "I like Nicholas because he isn't spoiled; he's just a cute little kid," said Mike Reuland '78. Students liked Joni for her ability to get herself into strange predicaments. "My favorite is Joni because her career in acting enables her to be doing something new on each show," said Julie Schafer '78. Sociologists might have predicted the family was going down the drain, but students still enjoyed the close relation.ships of the Bradfords.

Suddenly he is on a sandy beach. Shapely, bikiniclad girls surround him. He looks beyond them to the cool, blue water ... his thoughts are abruptly interrupted. "Earth to Joe .. Earth to Joe," mocks the teacher. But as winter turned to spring, like many other students, Joe continued daydreaming about summer activities. For many students, fancies included swimming in crystal clear pools, playing tennis on cool evenings or trailing at high speeds in the hills. Many dreams would not be fulfilled as students took summer jobs. Instead of spending lazy days in the sun, they would force themselves out of bed and off to work. But for some, a unique summer was truly in the offing. Jim Thorn '78, was to spend his days rebuilding a '64 Midget. "It doesn't run now, but it's just missing a few wires here and there," said Thorn confidently. For Joni Teeple '78, a new experience was about to begin. Her parents were being transferred to California and a relative had a job at Disneyland lined up for her. "I don't feel great about leaving my friends," said Teeple, "but I'm excited to work in such a well known place." No matter what awaited them - the fulfillment of daydreams, a paycheck for full-time work or a new experience - students eagerly anticipated the first day of summer vacation.

Both courses offered some of the most recent equipment and ideas in the Math and Science Departments. For the first time Computer Math students had semester-long access to a computer terminal linked to a main computer in Millard, Nebr. Students ran math problems through the terminal in computer language and played logic games, such as football. "You can beat it sometimes, but the computer usually wins," said Richard Feight '78. Many students thought the course would be useful later on. "It will help us use computers in college," said Mark Buckmaster '78. Because a poll showed considerable student interest, Human Biology was offered for the first time. In this second level course, students learned general functions of the human body by experiments such as stimulating frog mus- • cle tissue and controlling animal heartbeats. Human Biology demanded study time. " It is a really interesting class, but you have to study," said Tami Mayberry '78. Russ Henderson '78, added, " We don't have enough time to do the labs." Because students needed more time, the department planned a lab period for the following year. 2 1 1 l I I I I 1 (1) Human Biology instructor Reed Emsick assists Cathy Knotek in tying a string around a frog's muscle tendon to record its reactions when stimulated.

Journalism enrollment rose from 25 to 45 students. At least five of those took journalism because newspaper staffers aroused their interest through visits to junior highs. "I had considered it before the visit but it made me more sure about taking the class because it sounded like fun," said Brinda Osler '80. Some students felt the class would be fun and easy, but were surprised at the rules and details they had to learn. "I really like it, but I thought there would be mostly writing," said Jackie Kurt '79. "There are many rules and concepts of journalism I never knew existed." Although sometimes overwhelmed by the work, some students planned on continuing in journalism. " Journalism interested me," said Bernie Duis '80, "and I hope to continue learning about newspaper and be on newspaper and yearbook staffs.'' Enrollment also increased 50 percent in Latin. Several said they thought it would help them understand English. "I took Latin because I felt it would help me with vocabulary in college English," said Yvonne Chappell '78. Others felt their careers might profit from a Latin background. "Even though it is a dead language, the background information might help me in whatever I decide to do," said Margaret Gubbels '80. One student knew how it would help specifically. "I've already had Spanish and I want to go into a medical field where there are a lot of Latin terms," said Madonna Grett '79.

Drama 1-2 offered more opportunities than last year for class presentation according to student interest. They covered group and individual mimes, puppetry and storytelling, giving each other constructive criticism. "They kept their personal biases out of critiquing," said Jim Mimick, drama instructor. Drama classes went on a one-day field trip to the Firehouse, Magic and Orpheum theaters, seeing places in the buildings they wouldn 't see from the audience. "The dressing rooms were just like the ones you see in the movies," said Carrie Ballenger '79. Behind the scenes, stagecraft students worked on the technical aspects of producing a show. Every student worked on set construction, then went on to lighting, publicity and make -up. "It took two months to build the set from an old barn and to prepare everything for Fiddler on the Roof and we had to rush it ," said Ed Sell '79. Art students spent much time working on projects, which included acrylic painting, prints, batiks and copper etching. "If I ever had a free minute, I went into the art room ," said Mat Mahan '79. Hard work paid off as AL took every prize in ceramics in the art fair, earning Grand Champion, first three places and three honorable mentions. A prize in the art fair, praise on a well-bui lt set and a one-rating in a group mime gave fine arts students incentive to go on to their next project throughout the year.

Marriage and Family students chose partners, took wedding vows, planned budgets and arranged their lives as though they were married. These and other activities helped advanced social studies students learn to relate better to others and themselves. One student spent the day at Glenwood with a severely retarded boy whose braced legs were too weak to support him. "At first the boy wouldn't get close, but eventually he held my hands," said Pat Jeter '79. Jeter said that at AL such an act would be considered strange, but it made him happy because he knew he had made progress with the boy. "I found out the real me enjoyed helping others,'' said Jeter. Marriage and Family students also learned more about themselves, as they played a game requiring each couple to go through the cycle of marriage. Couples were given family and financial problems to solve. "The whole simulation kit was pretty realistic," said Laura Schweppe '78. "The only problem arose because there were only three boys in our class and most of the girls were paired up as husband and wife." Yet most students learned from the game. "It helped me learn to make decisions about problems facing married couples,'' said Brenda Coleman '78. Guest speakers also helped students gain understanding of real-life problems. A convict t old about jail life, a minister spoke on death and dying, and one AL graduate told of her progressive blindness. 6 (1) A strange husband and wife team, Brenda Coleman and Laura Schweppe discuss budget plans in Marriage and Family class.

These were some of the things you would have done in a 1978 woodworking class. And you thought industrial arts was for dummies! "We're trying to break the stigma that industrial arts is for dummies," said Jeff Haun, Industrial Arts Department chairman. By changing the woodworking curriculum from two to three years, the department gave students a chance to specialize in semester courses in furniture, cabinet making, upholstery and refinishing and lathe. These academic electives required textbook study, lecture, experimentation, and finally, production of projects such as grandmother clocks, gun racks, tool boxes and wine racks. Most students liked the new system. "The semester courses are better than year courses because you can take more and different classes," said John McAtee '78. The acquisition of new equipment in the printing darkroom also helped the department challenge students. It enabled printing classes to print four pages of the Echoes for the first time. " Finding the density for the Echoes pictures was hard, but the finished product was well worth it," said Lynn Bourne '79.

The Home Economics Department gave boys a new opportunity. Previously offered to girls only, Advanced Foods was opened to boys. The class included a foreign foods study requiring students to report on a country and its foods, and make a foreign dish such as chop suey, sauerkraut or Danish pastries. Boys who took the course agreed it was great to have a chance to learn more about foreign foods. "I think it's a pretty good idea doing French and Italian cooking because you learn about different foods from different countries," said Brad Hansen '78. After preparing foods to be graded, the cooks sampled what they made. "All boys like t o eat," said Pepe Rodriquez '78. The Business Department also gave students new opportunities . New books and typewriters helped students in shorthand , accounting, and typing. A typing practice room was provided for students by building a wall in room 103. The room gave students a chance to catch up in typing, t ype reports and assignments for other classes, and practice skills. "The more practice you get. t he better you are in typing," said Marlo Maaske '79. Such practical experience allowed students to become involved in a way they couldn't by just st udying. 94 business, home economics 5 1 7 (1) Eying his concoction uneasily, Dan Madsen prepares a dish he must eat in Advanced Foods.

Unless you took a music class, you might not have known they were there. But to music students who spent what seemed like thousands of hours practicing for concerts, those rooms were like second homes. Band instructor Jim Misner enjoyed his secluded teaching area. "These rooms are as close to heaven as you can get in this building," he said. Four hundred music students performed for approximately 7000 people during the year. Their five concerts at AL ranged from popular tunes to Ctiristmas songs to classical music. Concerts away from school included a junior high concert tour, a performance at Midlands Mall and a presentation of Latin music at Broadway Methodist Church. Over half the music students also participated in drama, sports, journalism or had jobs. This required extra effort. " When track practice gets over at 5 o'clock and I have a concert at 7 o'clock, I have to rush home, take a shower, eat dinner and rush back to school," said Beth Pettepier '79. Because concerts meant hundreds of practice hours, being enrolled in music meant that involvement didn't stop after the 40-minute period. Yet music enrollment remained stable, even when jobs and other extra-curricular activities competed for student time. music department 97 Students choose dangerous activities as favorites Neither fear of crashing on the road nor of being crushed by a powerful spike deterred P.E. and Driver Education students from declaring driving and volleyball their favorite activities. "The first time we drove was the spookiest," said Tammy Moore'80. "None of us could stay on the road; one girl in my car almost crashed into an old bridge on Highway 6." Other students experienced similar scary situations while driving. "I just barely slowed down, turning the corner at 35 miles per hour," said Lana Mass '80. "The teacher and two girls in the back seat almost had heart failure." Even though most students were scared at first, they said they preferred actual driving experience over classroom and simulator. Students in gym classes voiced frightening experiences also. "One time I got knocked on the head so hard with the volleyball, I sat out the rest of the game," said Linda Harlow'78. "I learned to stay out of the boys' way," said Teresa Cheatham'78, "but I sure yelled if I got out of their way and they missed the volleyball." Despite these incidents many students, including girls, said they preferred a game of volleyball over any other P. E. activity. "We really enjoyed playing volleyball in my gym class," said Kevin Eicher'78. "Miss Base - hore sometimes even joined in on the fun." 2 98 driver education, physical education 4 I 3 5 6 (1) Skiing amateurs Dana Chapman and Deanne Stark check their gear before ascending the slopes at Crescent Ski Hills on a P.E. field trip.

But with Public L;;:iw 94-142, which went into effect Oct. 1, new programs were mandated in public schools to satisfy the needs of both learning and physically disabled students. The Special Education Department expanded to meet the needs of the disabled by adding two new teachers and an aide. Students with at least average intelligence, but specific learning disabilities, were identified by classroom teachers. After being tested and accepted, they received individual help with specific language and math problems at least one period a day from Sherry Harvey, new special education teacher. Typical problems of these students were inability to distinguish between letters such as d and b and to interpret mathematic symbols. Students· in such programs told of their frustrations. One boy said he feared ridicule, especially when he had to count change slowly. Another expressed exasperation at television commercials that flashed addresses across the screen before he was halfway through copying them. In accordance with the new law, a program was also begun for students with emotional problems. · Most of these students attended regular classes several periods a day and met with Tim Arnold, new special education instruc- t or, at least two periods. The new law also covered physically disabled students. One student from Iowa Braille and Sight-Saving School transferred to AL. "I chose t o come here because it was closer," said Gary Christiansen '79. Finally, then, Public Law 94-142 had assured t he disabled to the rights of good education. 100 special education 3 7 5 (1) Completing classroom assignments is easy for Julie Albertson when assisted by Carol Tiller.

Melissa Ehlert, Dee South, Kelly Hawkins, Lori Shearer. BACK ROW: Mike Spoto, Kelly New interest generated in Mass Media, library Splashes of color and bold lettering covered the walls while students laminated, lettered and planned during a typical day in the media center. Mass Media students were formerly taught writing and analysis of magazines and newspapers. Under a new program begun by media specialist John Cairns, students learned techniques of design, film making and lamination. Interested students then became designers. "I became a designer because I liked Mass Media and now I get to draw and work with machines," said Charles Miller '79. Designers developed media tools, such as transparencies, displays and films, to aid teachers. Over 155 projects were completed. Teachers were generally pleased with the help Cairns gave them. "The Media Center runs more smoothly and seems more organized this year," said instructor Thomas Stull. Designers even worked on a project for the community when the Council Bluffs Area Pharmacies requested a poster introducing a new anti-poison syrup. As teachers gave more research assignments, the library, adjacent to the Media Center, became busier. Students said the library was a better place for study than study halls.

Students left AL at 10: 15 every morning to investigate careers in child care, welding, construction, auto mechanics, cosmetology, ret ail and industry. Advanced auto mechanics classes at Iowa Western gave students experience wo rking on cars, repairing engines, transmissions, brakes, steering and fuel systems. " We worked on ca rs while learning a lot about the automot ive in - dustry," said Ed Cain '78. Cosmetology classes at Stewart's in cluded basic fundamentals of hair cutting. co l oring and styling, facials, make-up and manicuring. Hours accumulated in the course we re applied to the college course. " We never got a c h a nce to cut each other's hair," said Trudy Casady '78, "but we enjoyed giving each other fac i a ls and manicures." The Trade and Indust ries program emplo y ed students on a part-time basis in a cooperating business or industry. After students rece ived preparatory instruction at school, business or industry provided work experience in a reas such as auto repair, carpentry, baking, plu m bing or welding.

Seniors were recognized for achievements in almost every academic area. The Chemistry Department awarded three top honors. Tim McCalmont, National Merit Scholarship finalist, was named Outstanding Chemist for being the top student in his Chemistry 3-4 class. Pat Beck, who had taken every science class available, was given the BaschLomb Scholarship for his outstanding work in chemistry. Planning to pursue a career in medicine, John Espinosa was given the Dr. Ozaydin Scholarship. The Music Department awarded most of its top honors to Paul Hegland. Before receiving the John Philip Sousa Award, Hegland had been drum major and vice-president of band, and went to All-State in choir. Debater of the Year was awarded to Mike Zaccone. After attending almost all debates, Zaccone led in first place standings. The Busines_s Department awarded its top honor, Secretary of the Year, to Terese Winchester, who was also the Seth T. Hills Scholarship winner. Winchester competed in the Lewis Central Invitational, taking a first in shorthand and a second in typing. The Art Department awarded Female and Male Artists of the Year to Allison Stock and Rick Johnson. Both students had taken all available art 9ourses and exhibited projects at art shows, receiving many first place standings. Journalism awards were given to three Key Staffers. Kelly Diercks was honored for editrng and indexing 216 pages of the yearbook, while Allison Stock as editor-in-chief was recognized for completing all theme pages and helping staffers with layouts.

Were teachers forgetting . to write referrals? Had the administration changed its policy on skipping? No, the man in charge of dissipline, Assistant Principal Don Moxley, was out with an injured back. As the days stretched into weeks and hospital reports of Moxley's condition became less favorable, Principal Robert Capel directed counselor Kelly Scott to fill Moxley's position. Scott needed such a chance because he was working to be certified as an administrator. The challenge of the job appealed to Scott. He didn't see the disciplinarian's role as one of drudgery. In fact, the old cliche "variety is the spice of life" could have been his motto. He said the biggest challenge of the job was that everyone who came in the door had a different problem, each needing a unique approach. Scott thought being trained as a counselor helped him get beneath the surface of problems. "But an administrator is on the spot to correct a situation immediately," he said, obviously relishing the challenge of being held accountable. So if you thought you could frustrate the man in charge of discipline, you were wrong. Some administrators enjoy the challenge.

A ruling by the school board in January which stated that all new teachers must live within the Council Bluffs school district reminded teachers of the 30's era. Most school board members in favor of the ruling reasoned that teachers in the district would help pass bond issues, patronize local businesses, pay property taxes and be good influences on the community. But the decision wasn't unanimous. "I was never in favor of such a ruling," said Michael Winchester, school board member, "I don't feel it will accomplish much and it will probably result in the loss of a lot of good teachers." Most teachers reacted with disapproval. "I don't think the school board had the constitutional right to enact such a ruling," said Jack Boylan, industrial arts. "It might · help pass bond issues but it can't force us to render to businesses." One teacher favored the new law. "I think it will definitely make teachers take a more active interest and involvement in school," said Vonnie Tangeman, industrial arts.

A random poll of teachers showed they had varying philosophies about how students should spend those few precious hours to themselves each night. Some teachers thought college prep students needed to spend them over the books. "Anybody who is going on to college should have a lot of homework in high school to be ready for college," said Linda Smoley, journalism instructor. But other teachers thought students needed free time. " Students should be able to do their work in class and have time for other activities outside of school," said Carol Murray, English instructor. But teachers expressed confl icting views about the value of allowing work time in class. Some thought it was valuable. "If someone has a question in class, they can ask me. If a question comes up at home, I can't answer it," said Steve Swee, business instructor. Others thought students could work better at home. "Class time should be instructional and students should do their creative work at home where they are most comfortable," said Jeanette Kenny, English instructor. Whether they sent you home with work or let you work in class, teachers thought their method was for your benefit.

He provided lists of available boys and girls to his students before the dances and crossed out names as each match was made. Teachers used such ingenuity to prove that they, after all, had a sense of humor. Social studies instructor Jocko llcisin often started off his classes with a cheerful " Fire up, group!" He then proceeded to call his students (especially sophomores) munchkins. If a student did something particularly stupid, llcisin gave him the title of Melvin Bushnik or Knorp. Psychology instructor Bill Willard was known for unusual classroom behavior. " Mr. Willard sticks out his tongue and uses funny expressions like 'camel breath' during class," said Lynne Branigan '78. Willard would often go to great measures to demonstrate psychological principles. One day students roared when he lay on his 2 114 staff desk, imitating the stages of a crawling baby turning into a "rug rat." Although watching the parking lot was not a fun job, industrial arts instructor Clark Allen made it more pleasant by joking with those who were trying to leave without passes. "Gonna try and slide out on me?" Allen would ask in his slow, country drawl. If a student tried to convince Allen to let him go, Allen would claim, "I can be bought for the right price." Students who had excessive absences from social studies instructor Mary Gepner's class received their fair share of comments. ''We were going to have your seat memorialized," and "That German Shepherd that hangs around here has better attendance than some of you," were just two of her many remarks. And so teachers convinced students they weren't machines that crawled into their desk drawers after school, but that they were real people who joked and laughed like anyone else. 5 6 (1) After an active day, Janet Mitchell takes time out to relax while she watches intramural aerial darts.

The varsity basketball team became used to such nerve-racking moments, as they dropped four of their 12 losses by less than four points and won four of their eight wins by only two. Seldom giving up, seniors played every game with the excitement of the first game. For example, after losing to T J the first time, they came from behind in the district game to win 53-51. For many, getting revenge was the highlight of the season. "The tournament atmosphere and home court advantage helped get us fired up; we knew we must be prepared to get revenge," said Dennis Rash '78. But their "never give up attitude" didn't make up for lack of experience and height. Jrm Drennen '78, was the only one who had previous varsity experience. The team's average height was only 6'1'' , and they missed having the 6'7" pivot man they had the last two years. District finals and sub-state play were characteristic of the entire season. Perseverance enabled the team to come from behind to beat Harlan by ten points. But the next night, lack of experience and height caught up wit h them as the number one team in Iowa, Des Moines Hoover, overpowered the Lynx 88-54. Although they ended up 8-12, there were personal achievements. Shawn Palmer '79, was chosen First Team All-Southwest Iowa and was named Honorable Mention on t he St ate team.

" Losing these sophomores definitely hurt our record, but in the long run it paid off by giving all players more experience," said Coach Terrill Clinton. Poor freethrow shooting also hampered sophomores. According to Clinton, inaccuracy at the freetrow line cost them five games. Players admitted that if their attitudes had been better, they might have won more games. "It seems that some people didn't care whether we won or lost, and we didn't work well as a team," said Dan Jackson'80. The JV team, however, finished with a more impressive 9-7 record. Coach Phil Nielsen said that losing Lytten hurt them tremendously. " He is a good ball player and I hated to lose him, but with his talent, he should have played varsity," said Nielsen. Most of the team agreed losing Lytten hurt their record, but they also blamed lack of experience. " We had a young team with four sophomores and six juniors and only one had an any experience," said ·Marshall Brown'80. Even though the junior Lynx were able to find a new leader in guard Doug Paulsen'79, they became too dependent on him. When Paulsen, with his agile moves and accurate passes, was not in the game, the other players couldn't carry it off. " Without Paulsen we just didn't ,>lay well at all," said Nielsen. Both teams ended the season looking forward to a better one next year. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL.

Football players went crazy at pep rallies, jumping and shouting at fans to show spirit, and a pep club was informally organized. Even losing to Prep, Nebraska 's number two rated team, d idn't dampen Lynx enthusiasm for the Homecoming showdown with Gross. The Gross game was a see-saw battle. After a Gross score late in the fourth quarter, the Lynx ... drove from deep in their own territory to score the winning touchdown. "The rally at the end of the Gross game showed the team could play well under pressure," said fan Mike Pierce '78. But for most students, the first win over T J since 1974 was the season's high point. "The T J game provided the most exciting moments of the season," said fan Bryan Christensen '78. Proud of a number nine rating and expecting a triumph over winless Benson, the Lynx had no idea the T J victory would be their last. The turning point came when the Lynx were surprised by the hungry Bunnies, who defeated them 18-8. With that loss the Lynx started a · five-game losing streak to finish 3-6. "We lost our confidence after the Benson game," said linebacker Calvin Miller '78. Thompson agreed. "The Benson game had a definite effect on morale," he said. The season's frustrations were epitomized by the last game against Lewis Central, a predicted Lynx win. But in the last seconds when the score was 27-20, confident fans saw it slip from the Lynx, just as the season had after Benson's win. Hanging their heads, players and fans shuffled away with the scoreboard overhead reading 28-27.

The JV didn't do much better, winning three of their first five games, but losing their last four, including a forfeit to Bellevue East, to finish with a 3-6 record. The only bright spot for sophomores was Rick Gilson's performance against Central, when he rushed for over 200 yards with touchdown runs of 21 and 91 yards. The most common player explanation for the poor record was "I don't know." Some said the teams lacked teamwork, enthusiasm or confidence. "The team lacked confidence in itself and we gave up too easily when we were behind," said Gilson. Some JV players thought the team needed more time together.· "The JV lacked togetherness. We practiced with the varsity most of the time and we didn't have time enough to practice together," said Rich Hiatt '79. Head football coach Gary Thompson and JV coach Mike Batten said JV should have a separate team from the varsity. Thompson was hopeful that by next year, the JV would have its own team. Both teams faced the problem of too few players. The JV had only 16 members and the sophomores· dressed only 25 players against Central. Because there were so few JV players, most dressed for varsity games, often playing two games a week. "We should have won more games but we didn't have enough man power with only 16 members," said Randy Burgan 78. JV FOOTBALL. FRONT ROW: Tim Kramer, Scott Lambert, Jay Heiman, Jess Randall.

But their record of 10-9 was disappointing to most girls who felt they lost many games they should have won. Having a coach who stayed all year and knew them from junior high was a major reason for their better season. After a season interrupted in the middle of last year by a coaching change, most girls were happy to have Coach Dennis Devault apply for the position on a permanent basis. The experience of the team also helped, with all but two letter winners returning from last year's team. Yet they couldn't get it together in games against teams such as Red Oak, Sidney and Essex, which Devault said they should have won. They faced the problem of guards and forwards not playing well on the same night. "We had a lot of individual talent on the team, but we had trouble putting everything together as a unit because of individual differences,"said Cathy Crowl '78. The two T J games provided both the low and high points of the season. Coming back in the first game with a little more than two minutes left, the girls cut their deficit of 12 points to five as the clock ran out. "Hungry for revenge , the Lady Lynx used teamwork and shooting skills to outdo T J by 12 points, the second time they met. " In the first T J game we weren't used to playing together, but as the season went on, we improved with experience and gained confidence so we were able t o beat TJ," said Marcie Warm '78. Another highlight of the season was Lisa Draper '79, and Bet h Gross '78, being named t o t he All-Southwest Iowa Honorable Mention Team. 126 varsity girls' basketball AL 89 46 44 58 57 103 81 42 35 49 57 64 68 74 54 52 51 74 OPP. 51 43 47 27 75 53 ftl 47 44 66 52 84 63 62 59 44 53 50 (1) Yelling "Shot!'' after Shenandoah's Janet Laughlin shoots, Beth Gross hurries to rebound position as Donna Steinberg and her forward go to the basket.

"The week of running at the beginning was tough, but it was good conditioning after long, lazy summer months of doing nothing," said Kerry Moore '79. For the bask~tball te.am, hours of strenuous workouts paid off as they accumulated a winning record of 16-2. But practices often seemed to no avail for the spikers, whose record was a disappointing 4-9. Experience accounted for much of the difference. Mostly juniors made up the basketball starting line up, but the volleyball team had to depend on sophomores. Teamwork was another big factor. The ability of the basketball team to work together helped Jeanine Talty '79, reach a season total of 359 points, and allowed Faith Peters '79, to lead the squad in. pulling in rebounds. But lack of teamwork hurt the spikers. Players revealed that arguing was common between girls who played and those who sat on the bench. "Everybody was out for themselves, not for the team," said one player. Teamwork improved as the season went on, according to Coach Jan Mitchell, but failure to master basic skills kept them from victory. But both teams gained experience that coaches hoped they would use next year.

To fire up before games they gathered in Coach Jan Lyle's office listening to music and discussing set ups, serves and "moving wheels" (Lyle's expression for moving feet). Before each district and State game they built momentum by huddling until Kellie Van Pelt '78, signaled the break with her whistle. The team responded with a cry of C-H-A-R-G-E! . The team used Van Pelt's whistle, a broken green racquet Lyle called a good luck token, and their favorite phrase, "We're having fun now," to get up for the first round of State. But that wasn 't enough. They were beaten in a tie breaker in the first round. "It was then or never. We were depressed to think it was the lasf we would play together," said Terese Winchester '78. The importance of being psyched was most obvious during the Metro Tournament, when the team played their most rewarding and disappointing games. When they took the floor as underdogs against undefeated Westside, whose average height was 4" taller, they gained momentum by getting in serves and kept it going with serve receptions. The victory advanced them to quarter finals. "It was our greatest victory of the season because we proved ourselves over a tough team," said Mary Jo Dinovo '78. But they were unable to keep their momentum the next night when Millard blitzed them 15-7, 15-5. "We were equal in size and abilities, but we just couldn't get it together ," said Cathy Crowl '78. The Ladies finished with a 17-6 record and a No. 14 State ranking. Crowl led the state in serve reception with a 98 .4% average, which helped her gain Fourth Team All-State honors. 2 130 varsity volleyball 3 4 ...

The only close wins were to Papillion and Lewis Central. The Papillion score was tied 20-20 before Tim Hastings '78, won the heavyweight match to give the team a 26-20 victory. Lewis Central took an ea rly 28-0 lead by win - ning the first seven matches because several Lynx lower weight wrestle rs were sick, injured or didn't make weight. But the squad won the last five matches with a superior decision, two pins and two forfeits to squeak out a 29-28 win. Despite their flawless record, coach es and wrestlers thought the season was somewhat disappointing because of tournament and dis - trict finishes. With key wrestlers out due to illness and injuries, the team finished eighth out of 20 teams in the Metro Tournament and fourth out of eight teams in districts. Tim Hastings won several titles at 185 poinds, including the Metro, CB Invitational, Sioux City East and district competition. His first place finish at districts qualified him for the State Tournament, in which he finished fourth. Randy Gart in '78, also qualified for State with a second at districts, but he failed to place at State. Jun ior Jess Randall took a second place finish at the Metro Tournament behind Jeff Miller of Papillion. That wrest lers set high standards for themselves was obvious when Hastings, who accumulated a 27-3 record, said, "I really wasn't pleased with my season because I lost to two guys when I should have lost to only one." wrestling 133 BOYS' TENN IS.

Perspiration trickles down the face of a tall, lean figure as he throws up a small yellow ball and whips back his racquet to connect. A smile crosses his face as the ball glides over the net for an ace, leaving his opponent shaking his head in amazement. For Rick Crowl '78, such scenes were a way of life and the tennis courts a home away from home during the summer of his senior year. He would get up at 7:30 a.m., be on the courts at 8 a.m. and give lessons until 1 p.m. Afternoons were spent running and jumping rope until 5 p.m. when he hit the courts for some concentrated practice until 7 p.m. But for Crowl, dedication was worthwhile. "Tennis is the greatest sport I have ever played," said Crowl, whose spring record ·was 10-0, sending him to State. Crowl was backed up by Mike Reuland '78, (8-1) and Ed Palensky '79, (5-5), and the doubles teams of John Beneke '78, and Jake Peters '78, and Matt Crowl '80, and Mike Hanson '80. The team ended 14-6 on the year. The girls' team was led by another Crowl, Rick's cousin, Cathy Crowl '78. She claimed not to have the dedication of her cousin. "I like to spread my summer time out over several different sports," said Crowl. Yet she was able to maintain a record of 10-1 on the year and make it to State for the second straight year. Backing up Crowl were Lisa Draper '79, (9-2) and Sue Farrell '79, (7-4). The team accomplished a record of 10-1. Swanger, Lisa Draper, Maggie Daley, Sue Farrell, Cathy Crowl.

Boys' and girls' golf teams worked for 10 to 15 hours a week during fall and spring seasons, practicing chips, putts and drives in hopes of shooting a round good enough to defeat their opponents. The boys' team lost only the regular season match to TJ, to finish with a 7-1 record, best of all the city high schools. They didn't fare as well during tournament play, finishing third in the Lewis Central lnvita:.. tional behind Harlan and Shenandoah, sixth in the sectional tournament and second in the city meet behind T J. It was the first time in the six-year history of the city meet that AL didn't finish first. Jeff Lytten '80, had the team's lowest average (39¥4 strokes per round), but he didn't compete in the Lewis Central Invitational because of a chipped bone in his hand. The girls' golf team also had a good season, finishing with a 5-1 record . Junior Kim Mann was the top golfer for the second straight year. Shooting an 89 during the city meet, Mann led the squad to a first place finish. "I was very pleased with Mann's season," said Coach Penny Basehore. "She was the medalist in every one of our matches this season." Mann ended her season by placing second in district and first in sectionals, qualifying for State. BOYS' GOLF.

Midway through the course , he plotted a strategy that would bring him a victory at the race's end. As he crossed the finish line, his side ached and his legs were tired. He couldn't take another step. But he felt he had accomplished a feat many others wouldn 't attempt. He had finished the course of a cross country race. Of the 18 runners out for cross country, most were training for other sports, such as track, basketball and baseball. But Tim McCalmont '78, Al's number one cross country runner, said he loved the sport for itself and felt there could be a future in it for him. " I want to continue running past high school," said McCalmont. " I like to run very much and I know I am good at it." Most runners practiced morning and night to train for a cross coun.try course covering two miles of terrain, stretching from a hilly landscape of loose dirt, gravel and dried grass to the flat surface of city streets and publ ic golf courses. They ran six miles a day, comparing their times with old school records. Practices paid off, as the varsity accumulated a record of 9-3-1 and the JV ended with a record of 10-3. The girls' track team were not able t o match the cross country team 's record . Having only ten runners and losing the first meet to Bellevue East 97-10 and their second to Millard 93- 14, the girls quickly became discouraged and lost morale. Their record was 0-4. CROSS COUNTRY.

Shouts of "We're number one!" echoed back to watching fans, who cheered the runners for winning the city championship for the first time in four years. Such sights and sounds of victory were repeated as trackmen went on to win five more invitationals against Harlan, Red Oak, Atlantic, Shenandoah, and Missouri Valley. "Winning the CB Relays was fun, but beating sometimes as many as 15 teams in an invitational gave us even greater satisfaction," said Cory Harter '79. Tim Storey '79, Mark Kramer '78, John Riggs '78, and Harter represented the Lynx at the Drake Relays in Des Moines. They placed 30 out of 125 teams in the two-mile relay. But rewards came only after grueling conditioning and practice. Runners spent two hours a night running. As a team, they ran about 450 miles a week. Experience also played a role in the winning season. Having ten lettermen helped, but even more important, according to Coach Joe Hauser, was having seniors Tim Leibel, Jim Drennen, Tim Thies and Tim McCalmont provide leadership for the team. "These boys were able to keep us loose before each meet when we were all nervous," said Neal Hakenson '80. A rewarding se;:ison was brought to an end with a record of 6-1.

A perfec1 curveball leaves another backing away frorr the plate, only to find that the pitch was a called third strike. Many opposition batters found themselves in those situations, as Lynx starting pitchers refused to give up runs, compiling a 15-2 record and the National Division title of the Metro Conference. Jim Brown '78, threw a no-hitter against Northwest, earlier chosen as a pre-season favorite. He also pitched a perfect game for five innings against Gross until he hurt his arm and was taken out of the game. Starting pitchers Mark Buckmaster '78, and Mike Webster '78, also had good seasons. Chuck Hayes '79, used only for relief until Buckmaster also got hurt, pitched and won the final two games of the CB Invitational, helping the team to capture the title. While pitching was a big factor in the team's success, they also showed occasionally good hitting power, which produced scores such as 11-0 (Benson), 10-0 (Tech) and 8-0 (Paul VI and North). Jim Steines '78, provided power by leading the team in homeruns. He hit a two-run homer in the first game of the season against Paul VI and added two three-run homers in back-toback games against Cathedral and Gross. Moved to the leadoff spot in place of Steines during the Central game, Phil Whiteaker '79, hit two homeruns over the left field fence. The spring season's biggest disappointment was losing the Metro Title to T J 5-4, when good pitching wasn't able to overcome many errors. 2 BASEBALL.

Gymnasts struggle toward impressive individual wins Straining muscles to perfect a handstand or dancing gracefully on a mat to a selected song kept gymnasts ~usy during daily practice sessions. Jeff Taylor'78, and Darren Grote'78, competed in all events for the boys' team and finished as the second and fourth all-time high scorers in a single season. Taylor was the only member of the team to place in State competition, finishing seventh on the parallel bars. He was named to Second Team All-State. Even though Coach Bill Beasley's team had only three seniors, he said it was one of the best he had ever coached. "I don't think the inexperience hurt us because juniors did well and sophomores Bryan Baker and John Shadden helped us tremendously," said Taylor. The girls' team wasn't as successful overcoming inexperience, ending the season with an 0-4 record. The inexperienced girls faced a special problem when Coach Beasley resigned, leaving them with no coach until elementary teacher Tom Eddy was hired. They had to cancel their first meets, resulting in forfeits. "The coaching change hurt because we were getting ready for our first meet," said Chris Feller'79. "Because Mr. Eddy hadn't done much with gymnastics coaching, we had to help each other." Despite their handicap, individual girls performed well. During the Harlan meet Chris Henley finished first in vault and Kerry Shill placed second in floor exercise. The season ended on a positive note when Shill qualified for regionals after finishing eighth in all-around district competition. 144 gymnastics 2 .. -- 4 , .,,. 5 BOYS' GYMNASTICS AL OPP. 91.50 Northwest 113.45 91.50 Bellevue West 53.48 97.13 Papillion 116.43 108.79 Benson 107.25 108.79 South 165.19 r 103.23 Bryan 102.15 103.23 Roncalli 89.45 103.95 Central 103.26 103.95 Bellevue East 76.80 98.15 Ralston 47.14 98.15 Millard 132.84 116.38 North 98.70 116.38 TJ 91.70 98.60 Prep 123.66 98.60 Westside 1>4.50 103.00 Lincoln 98.80 GIRLS' GYMNASTICS AL OPP. 87.00 Harlan 131.00 58.00 Millard 96.50 58.00 Northwest 94.00 54.00 Bellevue East 83.00 GIRLS' GYMNASTICS.

Serious practices ready softball girls for season As practice began, teammates scurried out on the field where pitcher Terese Winchester '78, might be firing a fast ball to catcher Pam Mccart '78. When Coach Bob Pettepier popped a fly ball to right field, centerfielder Mary Jo Dinovo '78, would yell to Nancy Petersen '78, "Get on your horse. 11 After the miss, there would be shouts of " Get your head out. 11 Such scenes weren't uncommon at softball pra.ctices, where players encouraged each other so the season would be a success. Since most of last year's team was back, Pettepier said the enthusiasm of the girls would carry them far in their 27-game season. Both coach and teammates were so serious about a winning season that they set new rules for themselves. If a girl had t hree unexcused absences, she was off the team . Three excused absences required practice with JV or special practices on Saturdays. - The team spent 60 hours pract icing before their first game May 25. Their two-hour nights consisted of exercises, work on fundamentals such as catching, batting and baserunning, and a final lap to end the practice. Outfielders were to be Petersen and Dinovo, while Zoe Hansen '79, and Kellie Van Pelt '78, battled it out for t he t hird position.

Meawhile, in West Omaha, opponents were able to jump into their own school pools at almost any time during the day, and they could practice for almost unlimited blocks of time. Despite their disadvantages, the Lynx tankers accomplished much to their credit, achieving a 6-5 record. According to Coach Joe Hauser, times improved with each meet. Rick Gilson '80, improved the most, his butterfly time shrinking from 1.16 to 1.06.1 minutes. Pat Hensley '78, broke the school record for the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5.36. 1. Seniors compiled a better record for wins than any other group of seniors in the history of AL. They totaled 30 wins and only 12 losses. Hauser said it would take much rebuilding to replace the seniors he would lose. "We were really dedicated. Most of us swam all year around," said Scott Lemen '78. "Eventually we found we had a swimmer for each stroke." The girls were not as successful overcoming hardships. They were only able to participate in one of their double-duel meets due to lack of swimmers. Before the season started, 12 girls signed up. Four girls were left at the end of the season. "If not for the girls' lack of interest and unwillingness to sacrifice some of their free time for the team, we would have had a better girls' team than last year," said Coach Hauser. swimming 149 BOWLING.

Girls' teams fared much better than boys', capturing four of the top five spots in t he city and gaining the first place trophy. Boys managed to take eighth place. The first 600 series ever bowled by an AL student was accomplished by Ronda Andersen '78, who rolled games of 210, 233, and 157 at Valley View Lanes Nov. 2. Six Bowlers competed at districts and State. Ronda Andersen '78, Jean Connors '78, Paula Franz '79, Susy Blue '78, Beth Pettepier '79, and Lisa Elston '79, all bowled to win first place at districts and had the best qualifying scores for State. As a team, they took sixth in the state. Susy Blue '78, captured the individual third place position in the state. "I was pretty thrilled about it, let me tell you! I really enjoy bowling," said Blue. Though competition was important to them, most bowlers looked at their sport as a good source of entertainment and relaxation every Wednesday afternoon. bowling 151 (1) As he goes for a iayup, Gary Meyer of East Siam is eyed by Mark Buckmaster, Pat Hensley and Jim Ferguson.

Such were the antics you practiced if you were one of the more than 250 intramural participants who met on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights to mix a little competition with a lot of fun. Players voiced different reasons for participating in intramurals instead of competitive sports. Some said they didn't have time to go out for sports. "I'm in cheerleading and there is too much of a conflict," said Ellen Hanson '80 . . The girls' intramural volleyball season was dotted with many important and exciting games, such as the battle between the 79ers and the Warm Horses to determine the champions. The 79ers won the game to keep their undefeated season at 5-0. The Warm Horses compiled a record of 4-1. Jumping back from the loss, the Warm Horses won the aerial darts title, racking up a flawless record of 7-0. Following were the Squatters, who accumulated a 6-1 record. The Warm Horses later captured the basketball championship over the Cookie Monsters, ending with a record of 4-0. The Cookie Monsters finished with a 3-1 record. There were so many boys that thirteen teams had to divide into two leagues to play in a round robin tournament battle for the championship. The Vaders completed boys' basketball with a record of 7-0, taking the championship over the Destroyers with a 5-1 record. "lntramurals was a good time even though we played only four ball games due to dividing into two leagues," said Rick Crowl '78. 8 intramurals 153 Top jocks rewarded for outstanding performance " Hustle! ... On the line! . . . Move your wheels!" . . . Athletes responded again and again to such encouragements. When all the working and sweating, the winning and losing were over, a few with the talent and determination to benefit most from their coaches stood out from the rest to receive top awards. The Harry C. Croy.ii Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year Award went to Cathy Crowl '78, for her participation on the volleyball and basketball teams. She was a State tennis contender and one of 18 seniors in the state who played on the All Star Volleyball Team. "Cathy was super. She was determined to do what was asked of her and more," said Coach Jan Lyle. Tim Hastings '78, received the Roy Lawson Male Athlete of the Year award. He played varsity football, and went to the semi-finals of the State Wrestling Tournament. Hastings also received the Michael Miller Scholarship given in memory of Mike "Metro" Miller, three-year outstanding athlete who died last summer. "Tim Hastings is one of the most dedicated and outstanding young men I've had the pleasure of coaching," said Coach Gary Thompson. For the first time, a junior was awarded the Thurman Johnson Trophy for being the most valuable basketball player. Teammates voted 10-1 to make Shawn Palmer '79, the recipient. He led t he team with 288 total points and rebounds. " Shawn was very deserving. He has a chance to become the first two-time winner· of t he award," said Coach Jocko llcisin. For t heir enthusiasm and undefeated record, wrestlers won the Clio Trophy as the outstanding school organizat ion. " To win an athletic award is a great honor not fully realized by many because of lack of involvement," said wrest ling coach Clark Allen. 2 154 athletic honors - 6 (1) A proud coach, Clark Allen accepts the Clio from Principal Robert Capel on behalf of his undefeated wrestlers.

Band's determination pays off in awards, relationships By the time a band member graduated, one year of his life had been spent practicing his instrument. Most members started play_ing in fourth or fifth grade and practiced one to two hours during school and another hour at home. Most of them thought their time was well spent, though. "You have something to show. for it. Not only can you play better, but you also get rewards like going to contests, on trips and making new friends," said Kelly Hamilton '79. With all the work put in, awards were greatly welcomed. The band tied for first in the Omaha Columbus Day Parade and became the only group in the history of the parade to come in first two years in a row. Individuals also achieved honor. Having been selected for the United States Collegiate Wind Band, Kim Ommerman '78, and Bill Ratekin '78, would travel to New York City for rehearsals before setting out on a tour of seven European countries from July 13 to Aug. 5. " I thought it was quite an honor since only 105 people in the United States are picked," said Om merman. Four students were also chosen to take part in the Southwest Iowa Honors Band in January. Recommended by director Jim Misner, seniors Glen Fauble, Jon Betcher, Paul Hegland and Ratekin joined other area students in Red Oak to give a concert composed of music more difficult than usually played in school bands. In the State Solo and Ensemble Contest April 1, selected members ·received 23 superior ratings. But material awards weren't the only rewards members gained. They also liked band because they felt good about being part of a group and the closeness of t he members. "I think we're close knit.

Quill, Chess Clubs help members expand minds The mind ... that vast region of knowledge .. . the greatest factor in both Quill and Chess Clubs. Whether critiquing a story or competing in an all-school chess tournament, members stretched their minds to the fullest at the end of a regular school day. Weekly changes in player standings kept members of Chess Club on their toes. If a lower-rated person won a match over a higherrated player, the two switched places in the ratings. "I like the system because you can move up faster," said Lori Shearer '78. "If you're sixth and want to be first, it's easier t o play the number one player than to go through five players." Using their creative imaginations, Quill Club members composed poems and stories, some of which were entered in local and national contests. Winners included poems by Lynn Damme '79, and Connie Sutherland '80, both published in Young America Sings, a publication of the National High School Poetry press. ''I was shocked when I heard the news. I couldn't believe that I won," said Sutherland. Members helped strengthen each ot her's imaginations with criticism. At each meeting, compositions were read so the other writers could critique them. "As long as the criticism is constructive, a good writer will use it effectively to produce an improved composition," said Kim Lutz '79. Occasionally, the clubs took time out from all of the concentration to have tun. For example, a dessert at one writer's potluck turned out to be a black and turquoise cake with purple frosting. Everyone shut his eyes as he gobbled up the soot-like crumbs. Members of both clubs learned what fun could be had when they put that extra bit of mind power to work. quill, chess clubs 161 Student Council, debaters try fund raising projects Planning, arguing, accomplishing-ideally debaters and Student Council members have these things. in common. Debaters did all three as they researched and debated the national debate topic, comprehensive m~dical care. The team concluded the season by taking two trophies at the Greater Omaha League Debate Tournament with a record of 5-10. Suzy Petersen and Mike Zaccone won fourth place in junior varsity division, and Bill Denny and Mark Wichman took first place in novice division. Although they researched often, the team relaxed and held fund raising projects. Several days before Oct. 31, debaters peddled small slips of paper called "Halloween Insurance." They cost $1 and promised clean up of any Halloween mischief. Other money raising projects were a bake sale and a raffle. With the money raised, the team hoped to go to Worlds of Fun. "Debating is hard work so you need to relax and enjoy yourself too," said Sandy Wichman '78. Student Council wasn't as productive as the debate team. The Nov. 18 issue of the Echoes criticized Student Council's lack of communication and activity. It reported that only 12 of 160 students polled knew of any Student Council activities. The editorial spurred action briefly with the president promising communication by homeroom representatives. Meetings soon dwindled; as a result, communication did too. Council President Mike Zaccone said few meetings were held because there was nothing to discuss. Committees were formed to raise money to cover the Council's $1000 debt but little was accomplished. Plans to sell t-shirts, magazines, mugs and hold a movie were made, but the tshirt and mug sales weren't profitable. DEBATERS. FRONT ROW: Kim Swanger, Peggy Rickert, Mike Zaccone.

Pep Club and Zany Yellers inspiring sponianeous chants of "We've Got Spirit" . . . all of these raised spirit for fall sports to a new high. For the first time, eight cheerleaders were appointed to attend only wrestling matches. "They really helped us. You really don't know they're there when you're wrestling," said wrestler Lanny Dingman '79, "but seeing them before you wrestle lets you know that somebody is behind you and cheering you on." "I think we're more enthusiastic," said Peggy Wenstrand '78, cheerleader co-captain. "We did more work and had better attendance than last year. Learning new cheers at Camp Okoboji during the summer helped, too." Yell leader Daren Grote '78, thought his group had improved, also. "Only two stuck it out last year," said Grote, "but there were five that were pretty steady this year, so we could do more formations." Early in September, Pep Club and Zany Yellers formed to improve spirit. Their on-the-spot cheers and rented buses created more noise for the team than had been heard in years. But t he groups had a rough time maintaining momentum after their strong start because t hey were unable to hold enough members. "It's difficult to get a large number of students interested in a pep club," said sponsor Vonnie Tangeman, "because of the number of students already involved with band, cheerleading and so on." And the cancellation of pep assemblies was a setback all spirit clubs resented. "They say cheerleaders should promote spirit, but without pep assemblies, we didn't have much of a chance," said Kim Hunt '80. 3 164 spirit groups 2 CHEERLEADERS, YELL LEADERS.

Exchange students share cultures with Foreign Club With six foreign exchange members - more than ever before - the Foreign Student Club provided many chances to learn that people are basically the same all over the world. "Even though I found myself in the midst of new faces and traditions, in no time I realized I was accepted as freely as others," said Jyoti Bagia, foreign student from Fiji Islands. To help everybody get to know each other, the Foreign Student Club held monthly potlucks featuring dishes from a variety of countries. To share their culture, American members sponsored a Thanksgiving dinner, bringing dishes that were family traditions. "I thought it was really neat. The food was so different. We don't have pumpkin pie or stuffing, and we don't have Thanksgiving in Finland," said Heini Tuominen, foreign student. Sponsoring the annual Christmas Dance, popcorn sale and a room in the Jaycee Haunted House netted the club $1200, which would be used to sponsor exchange students next year. Courtesy Club once again served as official hostesses for AL, ushering at Open House, music and drama productions and Commencement. Girls recommended by sophomore teachers and selected by sponsor Mary Gepner made up the club. Many said they benefited from the experience. "I feel Courtesy Club helps develop girls through meeting different people and ushering all kinds of events," said Alessandra Minchin '78.

Science Club scheduled five stargaz ing tr ips, but the skies wouldn't cooperate. "Sometime we'll get a stargazing tr ip when there are stars out," said David Peters '78. The weather conquered the club once more when they went on a camping trip to DeSoto Bend. The rain made logs almost too wet for a fire. "We had a hard time sleeping w ith water filling our sleeping bags ," said John Espinosa '78. But the rain didn't keep pranks from being played.

A few weeks later, another honor society initiation was held. Jean-clad participants crammed into the Fairmount Park Lodge, took their bath and hurried back outside to engage in antics such as drinking from baby bottles. Before taking the oath, Thespian initiates participated in a three-legged race. At the end, losers had the pleasure of eating baby food, including creamed spinach, liver and vegetabfes. Thespians attended many productions in the area, including "The Odd Couple," "My Fair Lady" and "Bubbling Brown Sugar." Hosting 76 schools in the State Speech Contest Feb. 4, AL Thespians received five large group, two duet and three individual outstanding ratings. For Thespians, dedication meant doing a lot of what they enjoyed. Roger Jensen '78, accumulated 120 points during his three years in drama, one point equaling ten hours of work. "Through junior high and sophomore year, I was into athletics. Then somebody said to try out for the play," said Jensen. "Eventually, I got more personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment from drama than from sports, so I stuck with it.'' Prestige was even more a part of belonging to NHS than Thespians. "I think it's an honor to be chosen by the teachers for NHS,' ' said Brian Milford '78. Because of this feeling, most members didn't mind the club's lack of activities. President Tim McCalmont '78, explained why the club had been inactive. "There wasn't really too much we could do, because we aren't a decision-making club like Student Council," said McCalmont. Main activities included entering a float in the Homecoming Parade and dividing into committees to organize the multi-faceted induction program. 2 170 thespians, nhs NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

Swing Choir took a break from daily practices to enjoy water skiing at DeSoto Bend. "It was neat because it was the first time Swing Choir had been together this year other than class," said Tracy Smith '78. But hours of relaxation together came only after members had invested eight hours each week practicing for contests and concerts. Practices paid off when they entered the Northwest Missouri State, Southwest Community College and Westside Swing Choir Festivals, winning two first and a second place award. Giving 32 performances for women's clubs and charities kept the choir active, often requiring them to leave school and make up work later. The highlight of the year was the performance with Stage Band at Conception Abbey in Conception, Mo. Many Swing Choir and Stage Band members didn't know what to expect at the Abbey. " On our way down, people who had gone there before said it was just like a prison and I imagined it having high barbed-wire fences, but it's just like a college campus," said Scott Harding '79. Locally, Stage Band played songs ranging from rock to jazz in concerts at the junior high schools, Midlands Mall and various civic clubs. "People of all ages seemed to enjoy our music," said Dave Parramore '79. Twenty girls and sponsor Marsha Sigler formed Modern Dance Club to perform occasionally with the Swing Choir and Stage Band.

Other pep band and porn pon members agreed. "Cancellation was a bad idea because we needed the pep and spirit we got from assemblies," said band member Kerry Madsen '78. But only a couple assemblies were needed to convince faculty and students that perfor - mances of the groups ha .d improved. " Pep band has a better selection of arrangements, and porn pons put more effort into perfor - mances ." said Anne Hansen '78. Porn pon observers said waist-high kicks, wider smiles and more synchronized movements were improvements over last year. Many squad members said attending cal'!lP at Northeast Missouri State University helped them. They learned new routines and won a second place trophy, their first in five yea rs. Others said routines were improved by Captain Janice Bridenbaugh's system of demerits for absences and criticism from each ot h er and sponsor Sherry Harvey. " I was in favor of this new criticism because it was const ructive and we needed it, " said Ann Burke '79. Pep band members said their group 's spirit improved presentations. " Pep band was h alf the fun of being in band ," said Paula Ryan '79. "It was an out-of-school activity whe re y ou could be with your friends and have fun while working.'' The enthusiasm of both o rgani zat i o ns proved helpful to players.

Choirs practice to perfect new, challenging numbers Inhaling air deep into the diaphram and forcing it back out to control a high C through the final chorus were feats to be attained only after long hours of practice. Concert Choir and Sophomore Ensemble members spent those hours to master difficult songs and ready themselves for five concerts and tours. "They performed an outstanding Christmas Concert," said sponsor Lee Spann. "They have been an excellent group to work with.·.· Each of the 70 members who made up Concert Choir had to audition individually to qualify. Nine of the members' vocal talents took them to All-State. Highlighting their concerts were many difficult numbers. "We took on a lot of hard music, but Mr. Spann must have had faith in us because everything turned out pretty well ," said Kim Rock, Concert Choir president. Sophomore Ensemble also took on new and challenging music, attempting to make their program different from any other offered. "We've done everything from Bach to rock," said sponsor Clarence Smelser. " Second semester we zeroed in on opera and showtunes." They also dabbled in selections from "The Wiz" and solos from the original "Wizard of Oz." Over 45 sophomores came dutifully at 7:30 a.m. two or three mornings a week to practice, even though they received no academic credit. "I think everyone showed great interest and maturity," said Traci Hughes '78, "by voluntarily coming to practice each morning." Sophomore Ensemble toured junior highs hoping to recruit students to join AL music. programs and Omaha schools to gain performance experience. concert choir, soph ensemble 177 2 (1) Expressions vary as Carolee Joslin, Keith Longnecker, Allen Wilson and Kathy Bennett munch enchiladas at a Spanish party.

' 178 foreign language clubs French Club earns dollars for scholarship to F ranee Ticket sellers, housecleaners, babysitters, leaf rakers, snow shovelers and balloon venders were various roles French Club members assumed as they took on the challenge of raising $650 to send a member to France during the summer of '78. Janice Bridenbaugh '78, was chosen by a faculty committee to put her five years of French to use. She was to spend 45 days visiting France, taking slides and gathering experiences which she would relate to the French Club. "This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and it will put my knowledge of French to the test," said Janice Bridenbaugh '78. Extracurricular activities threatened to disband Spanish Club, so sponsor Tomas Lara decided meetings should be held eighth hour during his Spanish 1-2 class. Activities weren't hampered by the switch though. Members traveled to Boystown to watch the Boston Flamenco Dancers, s ampled Mexican cuisine at their own Mexican food feast and participated in their traditional initiation. • .... Expanding their knowledge about German culture, German Club members dined on " Sauerbraten," "Seezungenroller" mit "Garnellensosse" and "Apfelstrudel" at the Omaha Hilton during Oktoberfest and consumed the native cuisine at the Bohemian Cafe. In addition to these gastronomic delights, they sampled a Mozart opera and led their initiates through the rigors of speaking nothing but German for a half hour. This was perhaps the last year for German Club, as the school board tentatively decided to drop German due to budget cuts. German Club members were sorry to see it eliminated. "I feel it's unfair that they drop language courses. We expect Europeans to know our language - why shouldn't we know theirs? " said Shelly Larsen '78. 5 foreign language clubs 179 Pert orming varied services improves Key Club image Key Club set out to improve their image after the 1977 Crimson and Blue reported they had done nothing. When Larry Dyke '79, stricken with muscular dystrophy, transferred to AL from a high school in Shelby, Iowa, Key Club members helped him adjust. His room at Indian Hills Nursing Home became the scene of long talks and mind-boggling chess games as the boys kept him from spending many hours alone. "I can whip the pants off one of the members when I play him in chess," said Dyke. A few boys were at school every morning by 7:45 to eat breakfast with Dyke. Then they .--------.......... ~_..;;.. ...... -...:. _ _ ~~~---­ wheeled him to his class in the industrial arts wing. Once when there was no transportation, Terry Duermyer '79, wheeled him from the nursing home to a Big Brothers/Big Sisters Jamboree basketball game at AL. Key Club achieved another first by encouraging girls to join. "The guys realized there weren't just guys in the world," said Jane Dale '80. After attending the National Key Club convention in Kansas City, Mo., the boys returned with more enthusiasm for the club. "After the convention I really felt good about myself and what we're doing, because we're helping people," said Duermyer. Members aided in a book drive, film festival and Cancer Society marathon dance. They also assisted in establishing a new Key Club in Ralston, Neb. Rifle Club also became more active. They shot two matches against Central and St. Pius X in Omaha, but lost both . They also shot in exh i b ition m a t ches with other schools and pra cticed every Monday in the National Guard Armory. 180 key, rifle clubs 4 (1) A game of chess with Randy Duncan, Doug Livengood, Lynn Bourne and Terry Duermyer relieves the boredom for Larry Dyke at Indian Hills Nursing Home.

Echoes became a magazine with less straight news and more indep,th material, covering such topics as school finance and grade inflation. Many students liked the format. "When you open the Echoes there is something in it for everybody," said Cathy Genereux '78. But some disagreed. "The paper doesn't include enough about the school," said Dan Grieder '79. Editor Suzy Petersen said staffers were right to cover problems affecting students, noting the paper won three first class ratings and a mark of distinction for its wide coverage from scholastic press associations. Crimson and Blue staff also won first class awards and a mark of distinction for coverage. Editor Allsion Stock said the staff's goal was to tell the complete story of the year, both good and bad, without over-covering any one aspect of school life. Many students, however, disagreed with '77 coverage. Some said senior pictures should have been larger, and others disapproved of covering student reaction to marijuana, alcohol, and living together. "We want to look back and see t he happy times, not the problems," said Gail Peterson '78. On the other hand, many students said the yearbook was well done. "I feel it was a good yearbook," said Peggy Wenstrand '78. "Instead of all the goofy things, it contained things we'll want to remember and the controversy of the times." Both staffs said they welcomed controversy because it proved students were reading their publications. 182 publications staffs 1 CRIMSON AND BLUE STAFF.

Club size not important to homemakers, secretaries While Homemaking Club struggled to retain their four-member organization, Future Secretaries of America remained strong with 35 members. Homemaking Club dropped its state and national affiliation to include students taking college prep courses who didn't have the require- • ments set by National Future Homemakers Association. Even with the change, Homemaking Club had only four members. "Homemaking Club is not as publicized as other clubs because the main emphasis in school is on sports and other things," said Deb Coffey '79. Yet the club did as many activities as several larger clubs. They gave a Tupperware party at Pizza Hut, sponsored a microwave demonstra- ,....._. tion and exchanged salad recipes at a salad party. 2 FSA had 35 members, all business education r students with at least C averages who showed interest in secretarial work. Many hoped the club would help them with future jobs. "I joined because FSA helps you find out what kind of job you can get from t aking business courses,'' said Amy Dressel '79. FSA learned about the qualities of a good secretary from an FBI representative, who spoke at one of their monthly dinner meetings at Bob's Corral. Not all members, however, were planning secretarial jobs. "I wanted to get into an organization besides sports," said Jane Chapman '79. For these clubs, size wasn't as important as sharing and learning together. 184 homemakers, future secretaries FUTURE SECRETARIES OF AMERICA.

(Woody) Clarke, phot ography and biology teacher, died suddenly April 19, after suffering a stroke. He had taught 19 years at AL and was due to retire at tne end of the school year. Clarke was born in Monmouth, Ill., and graduated from Monmouth College with a science degree. The instruction of young people was one of his favorite pastimes. He served for more than 16 years as a district executive for the Boy Scouts of America. But his love of life was photography. For over a decade, he had taught photography, helped Crimson and Blue staffers, and until this year, contributed many of his own pictures to the book. " He taught me everything I know about photography," said Brian Jacobsen '78. But he served tlie greatest number of students as a biology instructor. Clarke took an individual interest in his students' personal well-being as well as their academic achievement. "Woody was just a really nice person," said Patty Dinovo '80, "a person who cared about everyone." in memory 215 216 lnDEX A Abbott, Doug 50, 13·2 Abel, Anne 50, 166 ACADEMIC DIVISION 82, 83 Acklie, Pamela 40, 86, 170, 171, 176 Adams, Nancy 60, 79, 88, 158, 166, 168, 171 , 173, 176 ADAMS, RONALD 108, 127, 128, 143 Addison, Sandra 50 ADMINISTRATORS 108, 109 ADS DIVISION 186, 187 Aguirre, Libertad 18, 19, 55, 60, 166, 178 Albertson, Julie 40, 100 Aldredge, Dona 60, 185, 193 ALLEN, CLARK 29, 108, 114, 117. 125, 154 Allen, Matt 7, 50, 176 Allen, Melinda 40, 176 Allen, Patty 50 Allmon, Denise 147 Allmon, Mark 60 ALL-SCHOOL PLAY 26, 27 ALTER, LOIS 36, 37, 87, 108 ALTON , VIRDUS 110 Andersen, Ronda 60, 150 Anderson, Amy 60 Anderson, Donan 50 Anderson, Jane 50 Anderson, Kari 145 ANDERSON , ROGER 108 ARGERSINGER, LARRY 108 123, 141 • Armstrong, Betty 50 ARNOLD, TIMOTHY 108 Arterburn, Michelle 40, 86 170, 171 • Arterburn, Timothy 60 Ashley, Brenda 40 Ashley, Randy 40 Athay, Christine 40, 176 Atherton, Susan 15, 50, 162, 163, 165, 171, 176, 178 Atkinson, James 50, 150, 158, 159, 171, 172, 174 Auch, D.

Although many students found themselves making preparations at the last minute, most felt Homecoming '78 was a success, except for a disappointing game. Even floats prepared at the last minute were creative. The first prize float, designed by the Junior Class, featured a Lynx chef constructed of chicken wire, and stuffed with paper napkins, barbecuing a skewered rabbit over hot coals. Another recipe for fresh rabbit meat was offered by a Tasmanian Devil, who concocted a tasty rabbit stew. The National Honor Society didn't want to bother with recipes. They just wanted to "Burn the Bunnies" with their old-fashioned firetruck HOMECOMING COURT. FRONT ROW: Tami Hughes, Sandy Bowen, Denise Trzeciak, Lynne Johnson, Anne Abel.

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

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

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

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

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

The old lady was the main character in a scene which showed her begging, screaming and literally tearing her hair out, trying to get money from a frustrated and irritated banker, played by Jeff Baker '79. The scene was from "A Defenseless Creature," one of ten vignettes in Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor," presented in a matinee March 8, and in evening performances March 9 and 10. The main character was a writer, played by Larry Kisby '80, who created and narrated stories w hich were enacted by characters on the stage. Many actors said they felt the matinee audience didn't appreciate the play's sophisti cated humor. Rude remarks were ca lled out by students, and the noise level grew so loud that director Jim Mimick had to yell out for the ilUdience to be quiet. "I'd just as soon not perform if they're going to act like that," said Anne Kenny '80, who played in two vignettes. Many students just weren't listening, according to Mimick. "The audience talked during the narration which explained the story," Mimick said. " They never settled down." Some actors felt playing to a bad audience was a good experience for them. "If you're really into the character, you can tune out the audience," said Baker. Audiences began to appreciate the play towards the middle, after they quieted down. "The audience was exceptionally rude towards the beginning," said Kisby, "but I think the kids really enjoyed later parts of the play." A favorite scene was "The Arrangement," in which a father was giving his son a prostitute for his birthday. The audience roared when the father changed his mind, saying "Why don't you wait and grow up next year, son?" school play 19 ( At a m()ment~§ n()tice ,, Lynn and Carrie, we need a skit to go on for "My Man."

"Okay, what kind of skit?" "Something to do with twins. You'll think of something." This scene took place backstage at a performance of Roadshow '79. The skit they finally thought of was about two bored girls on a Saturday night who call a double dating service. They ask for two macho men but end up with the moronic twins. Drama students found they had to improvise many skits to fill in gaps in the show. Organizations were asked to participate in the show, but only the cheerleaders contributed. Because the auditorium was booked for every night except April 7, 9, and 11, the show was literally thrown together in two weeks. Tryouts were two days after the last performance of the school play, which didn't give students adequate time. "This year Roadshow came so fast, no one was prepared," said Anne Kenny '80. With only two weeks to get ready, the cast was plagued with one problem after another. Paper flowers used for the set disappeared, so more had to be made the day before the show. There were only four rehearsals. "We defiThank God I'm a country boy. Pi ckin ' and a grinnin', Matt Mahan, Scott Hunter and Randy Utterback create a country atmosphere as they play a bluegrass tune.

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

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

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

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

A nostalgic yearning for the moods of the carefree 'SO's inspired some of the looks. Cuffed, straight-legged jeans and tall, skinny heels teamed up with big shirts and skinny belts to give girls that chic, slim look. "I think straight-leg jeans look really neat," said Tammy McDowell '81, "especially rolled up with high heeled shoes." And the 'SO's influence promoted skirts as one alternative to pants. Their tiny pleats, soft gathers, or wide circles were topped with sheer blouses or soft sweaters. For yet another look, pleated, narrow-legged trousers, white tuxedo shirts, blazers and ties were the components of the menswear style, inspired by the oscar-winning movie, " Annie Hall." "I think menswear on girls looks really sharp," said Susan Miner '81, "but some overdo it a I ittle." For evening, girls wanted ·at least one satin disco outfit. "I think disco outfits are classy for anytime you go to a party or someplace special, but they really don't fit into the school atmosphere," said Cheryl Smith '81. "Jeans are still more prevalent." Of 82 students polled in a random survey, the majority agreed the casual look of jeans and sweaters was still preferred over dressier fashion trends. "Some students, mostly girls, are concerned with fashion," said Neil Price '81, " but boys buy clothes that look good on them." Although boys weren't as concerned with fashion as girls, most students agreed they were dressing sharper. "I think it's a definite improvement that boys are wearing more corduroys and sweaters instead of ragged jeans and T-shirts," said Kathleen McKinley '81. In a casual mood, hiking boots and cowboy hats westernized boys as well as girls. " It seems like everyone has a pair of hiking boots," said Todd Hoden '81 . " They're really comfortable." With so many new styles, students were easily confused as to what was "in." Lorena Swanger '81 , gave one possible reason student'.: were never quite on top of fashion : " I think that we're pretty much in tune with fashion trends, but we wi II never be in the height of fashion because we live in the Midwest and get everything a year later." fashion 33 A favorite place to munch is Taco Bell for Tim Beck, Brigitta Rindborg and Rachelle Mueller after a basketball game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To assist students and faculty, several students, called designers, were trained in lettering and arranging posters, making video tapes, preparing slides and checking out equipment. "Art students often come up to the center _wanting things laminated," said Ed Rutledge '79. "We show them how, so they can laminate on their own later."

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

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

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

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

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

Last fall, when physical fitness tests were first administered, this scene was a common occurrence in almost every P.E. class as students learned how out of shape they were. Student reaction to the tests varied. Some detested them . "Kids who can't do them get embarrassed and don't want to take gym at all," said Penny Poffenbarger '81. "They are impossible to achieve unless you're a superman," said Dan Jackson '80. But others actually enjoyed the tests. "I think they're good! You have to be in physical shape," said Pam Garrett '79. The Presidential patches added incentive for a few students. "Kids enjoy getting the patches. Some actually ask when they're going to get Short of breath, Lori Ceder does a courtesy turn with Paul Howe during the square dancing unit.

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

At pep assemblies students saw team enthu siasm and spirit, as players gathered in the center of the gym, started chants, clapped hands, and stood in offensive and defensive formations . Out on the field, though, players worked for themselves instead of as a team, according to coaches. "Players worried about how many ya rd s they gained individually rather than what they co uld do as a tea m ," Ass istant Coach Mike Batten said. Players and coaches cited two other reasons for the poor record . Many said there wasn't enough dedica tion. "Everyone wanted to win, but they didn't want to do the hard work that went with it," said Cory Harter '79. According to Coach Gary Thompson, injuries were also a factor. Ja y Heiman '79, Mark Dix '81, Tom Schropp '80, and Kurt Jo nes '80, each missed some of the last four out of five gam es. The highlight of the season was the TJ game. After coming to schoo l to find "TJ is No. 1" scrawled in orange paint all over the building, everyone wanted revenge. The Lynx ended up on top of a 15-3 victo ry . " What they did to the school gave us extra incentive," sa id D o n Schoeppner '79. They also played well against highly favored Creighton Prep, losing by only three points and holding Prep to six. Individually, two players achieved recognition. Lonnie Wright '79, was selected on the Des Moines Register's Coaches' All State Team as a d efensive end.

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

"Practicing the sport brings you close together beca use you know everybody hurts as much as you do," Abel said. Because Iowa schedules were already determin ed by the first week of school w hen the girls decided to organize a tea m, they were able to parti c ipate in only one dual.

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

" I think we got too fired up and broke our concentration," said Karen Sealock '80. Again before district play, enthusiasm was high. Knowing the addition of 74 new teams in Iowa would allow o nly one team from each district to go to State, the girls wanted to win more than ever. But their battle for districts was lost 2-3 against TJ. After losing the first two games, they rall ied 'to win the next two but by the deciding game, the pressure became too much. " W e got too emotional during the last game and after a few points went by, we lost control of the game mentally," said Zoe Hansen '79. But high spots dotted the season.

Draper was largely responsible for Al 's early wins as she broke the School record by scoring 58 points against Oakland. But the team finally began to play together to provide an exciting week of wins against Lewis Central, TJ and Mo. Valley. Players agreed they won because they worked as a unit, with all three forwards gaining points instead of relying o n Draper.

Their most exciting game occurred that week against Lewis Central.

But the Lady Lynx didn't fare as well in sectionals, losing 64-79. "Lewis Central wanted revenge, and we just wanted another win," said Peters. "They played like they were o ut for blood." Other team members said disagreements between players were responsible for their poor performance at sectionals. Draper's never-say-die attitude conflicted with some girls' wi llingness to give up, according to players. But despite these troubles, Draper sustained her scoring average of 42.6, finishing the season sixth in state. "Lisa was the most devoted player o n the team. She would practice until 10 o'clock at night and come early every morning," said Nancy Goecke~ '79.

"I think TJ was the best game because everyone averaged the same number of points, and we played as a team," said Linda Farrell '81, "but beating TJ is always a big thing." Spikers also put in extra hours of practice to improve their season. All the players stayed after scheduled practices to develop individual skills, according to Coach Ron Adams. At least ten girls played each game. Their devotion resulted in an early win against Millard, one of the best teams in their division. They beat them two straight games. "We were really psyched up when we met Millard because they were sure they were going to beat us with no trouble," said Amy Anderson '81. But the season ended on a disappointing note after an unexpected loss to Northwest. "We felt we were on an equal caliber with them," said Adams. "We had beaten the same teams, and after winning seven straight games, it was really a letdown." If the spikers had beaten Northwest, they would have been second in their division, but they ended their season third with a 7-4 record.

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

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

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

That hope was about all that sustained swi mmers as they endured a 1-9 season.

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

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

"Mr. Haun works on form the most because once we have form, we can do better," said Sheila VanArsdol '81. For both teams, it was a year of learning the basics. The boys needed to rebuild after losing eight key seniors last year. This lack of experience made for a mediocre year in which only a 3-6 record was obtained. Lack of depth and experience also hurt the girls, who didn't have enough people to run in the one and two-mile relays and were unable to win a single meet. Although their records didn't show it, runners worked hard to psyche themselves up for yvinning. " I would sit and listen to Styx for about two hours before I had to go to a meet, or the night before a meet. It helped me to time myself," said Bill Rance 79.

According to Coach Bob Pettepier, the team's speed would also account for many wins, with four underclassmen, Linda Farrell '81, Patty Holeton '81, Lori Gigliodoro '80, and Lorrie Scott '80, running the bases. Pettepier predicted cautiously that the team could easily break a .500 season, but team members expressed greater confidence about their season. "We should have a strong team this year," said Draper. "If we improve in each game, by the end of the season, we should have a good shot at making it to State." The team's biggest battle would be against pitching inexperience. Scott and Denise Allmon '81, fought for the pitching position, one playing varsity and the other playing JV. Neither of the girls had any varsity playing time. The team started practice in late April to be ready for their first game against Shelby May 29. SOFTBALL. FRONT ROW: Patty Holeton, Joan Talty, Lorrie Scott, Linda Farrell, Lori Gigliodoro.

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

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

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

Soccer reached AL after the TJ coach introduced the idea of starting an independent team through announcements. Gary Spooner, an industrial arts teacher who played soccer in England for two years, volunteered to coach. The team's 14-game schedule started the first week of April and ran through the end of May. Although they were "fired up" and ready to win, the rookies knew winning wouldn't be easy as a first-year team . The vigorous 45-minute halfs, separated by only a ten-minute half-time, took their toll on the players. M embers also admitted they had more to learn.

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

It was no ordinary day for the two thousand mentally handicapped students who competed in Iowa's Special Olympics in Des Moines. Twenty-three AL students competed against over 700 students from Southwest Iowa in the SO-yard dash, 220-yard race, broad jump, high jump and softball throw. They captured 13 first place ribbons in the sectional Special Olympic Games. "I felt good and was surprised that I w on a first place," said Diane Lee '81. After winning first place ribbons in sectionals at Council Bluffs Field, each student was able to enter state competition. In Des Moines, AL students took seven first place medallions . Divided into age categories, events included the broad jump, high jump, 50- and 220-yard dashes, 440-relay and softball throw. In the girls' and boys' broad jump, a confident Judy Sanford '79, leaped a winning distance of 6'11" while Mike Mullinex '81, won with a jump of 7'3". "I wasn't nervous or scared," Sanford said. Sanford and Darrell Fauble '79, also captured first place medallions in the girls' and boys' 50-yard dash with times of 7.6 and 6.1 seconds. In the 220-race, Fauble and Sam Richardt '81, nabbed first places in two age groups, as Tom Kron '81, snared the gold medallion in the softball throw. "The students were really up when they came back," said Twila Pettit, special education instructor. " The anticipation for next year is great and the students' attitude is 'I know how I can improve myself.'" After state competition, first place winners had a chance to be one of the 50 Iowans who traveled to Brockport, New York, for the national Special Olympics. Special education instructors and coordinators believed that after competing and winning in the Olympics, students gained a more positive attitude toward their studies. "It has given them a little motivation for life, and that motivation carries over into the academic aspects," said Bob Ro sie, Bluffs physical education consultant. One, Two, Three-go!

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

It all looked so easy. But performances were only a small part of being on the squad. Most students never saw the girls stumble into practice at 7 o'clock every morning, and dance for an hour while wrestlers ran around them and basketball players shot through them. "There's much more to porn pon than simple arm movements and ball changes," said Julie Madsen '80. Prior to early morning practices, several girls would spend up to 20 hours selecting music and choreographing each dance. Then ca me the hard part-teaching. Frustrating commands filled the gym ... "Keep your arms straight! ... Turn your heads . . . Come on, get into it!" The squad often had to perform at several basketball games a week. "It really gets tough when you have to make up two or three dances 114 porn pons in one week," said Shelly Hunter '81. To learn new dances, most of the squad attended an Iowa State University summer camp. Each girl paid $60 for the week. The squad was split into groups, each learning four dances. But the dances were taught so quickly that the girls forgot many of them by the time school began. After such effort, the girls were disheartened by complaints that they used the same steps over and over. "People should stop criticizing long enough to realize how hard it is to make up dances between every home game," said Toni DiBlasi '80. With all the hard work and criticisms, the girls needed encouragement. Everyone agreed sponsor Carol Murray provided that better than anyone had in the last three years. Murray went to almost every practice and supported the squad at games and parades.

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

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

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

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

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

Excitement mounts as 52 girls enter the building and head for elevators which will take them 30 floors up. As the doors open, they hear only the tapping of typewriters, the clicking of computer keys and the hushed silence of an office busy at work. They have entered the world of big business, even if only as observers. Field trips, such as this one to Woodmen Tower, allowed members of Future Secretaries of America to view the world of business. "There's more to an office than I thought," said Jennifer Christians '80. " The number of machines surprised me." Before the trip, Pat Hood, a publi c relatio ns person from Nebraska College of Business, talked to the club about finding jobs. To earn money,. members sold candles and jewelry at Christmas. With the profits, they prepared a food basket for an elderl y couple and donated money to the Salvation Arm y. " J think it's reall y good to help people," said Angela Holly '80, "especially people w ho need things because they don't have enough money." Although not as large a club as FSA, Homemaking Club kept just as busy. For service, they cleaned the school trophy case and made Christmas decorations for Bethany Lutheran Nursing Home. To have a good time together, they held a Sarah Coventry jewelry party, a Christmas gift exchange at Pizza King and a cosmetic party. "We have a good time w hen we're together," said Lucinda Bourne '79. " We enjoy helping the school and community and having our parties." To make the eight-member club a success, they brought friends to their gatherings. " I think we are just as successful as large clubs," said Darla Powell '79. " We basically get together and have a good time."

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

(RIGHT) learning the art . of communication W andering through unfamiliar halls covered with posters boasting Yellowjacket fame, Student Council members toured rival TJ. Instituted by Superintendent Raj Chopra, the exchange gave members a chance to experience life at TJ and to open communications between schools. "It was a good way to get better student relationships because it helped break the ice, and at least the students got to know each other," said Cory Peters '81. But communication between the AL Student Council and its own student body wasn't f$OOd. According to a random poll, only three out of 30 students were aware of the council's activities. "If they do something, they ought to report it. Otherwise, as far as anybody knows, they're not doing anything," said Peggy Rickert '79. Homeroom reports were supposed to be made after each Student Council meeting, but few of the members actually reported. " There are three Student Council members in m y homeroom and they don't report anything," said Julie Smith '81. Members' reasons for lack of communication Armed with a sample, sponsor Lucille Hoffman shows Seni or Class pres ident Shawn Palmer how the '79 Senior Class shirt will look. (ABOVE) To stress her point, Connie Sutherland uses hand motions while she practi ces her speech on energy that won her two trophies. (LEFT) included apathy within the council. " Some students go to the meetings, and that's as far as it goes," said Susan Farrell '79, Student Council president. "If members aren't excited about something themselves, they don't talk about it." Other members said they weren't organized to inform students. " If we distributed the minutes, the interested student w ould find out what we're doing," said John Jones '80. Debate Club, on the other hand, practiced the art of communication successfully as they debated energy and won nine trophies in tournaments. "Debating helps you learn a lot about the government," said Bernie Duis '80. Competing against up to 50 teams in a tournament, junior varsity debaters won one second and two third places, and novice w on tw o first places, one second, one fourth and two sixth places. "I think we reall y had an exceptional team overall this year," said Marsha Sigler, sponsor.

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

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

M arching band members faithfully spent over 100 early morning hours perfecting formations and music for Friday night half-time shows. "I was tired when I got up," said Lori Jerome '81, "but without practices, we never would have gotten a show together for Friday night." They also played in the Veterans Day and Columbus Day parades, bringing home first and third place awards. "I was disappointed w ith placing third," said Paula Ryan '79. " It would have been our third in a row for number one." After football season, Concert and Stage Bands got down to business. They played in the All-City Concert with bands from TJ and St. Albert. All were directed by Jimmy Howard Reynolds from Iowa State University at Ames. " He was tough, but it was a good experience," said Brian Lancial '80. After auditioning at Audubon, Tom Rance 79, and Jana Milford '79, advanced to All-State, w here they performed for 12,000 people. "The All-State audience is probabl y the biggest crowd I've performed in front of," Rance said. " It was great." Four others were elected by director Jim Misner to play in the All-Southwest Iowa Honors Band. Steve Benton played alto sax, Kim Rasmussen, flute, Janice Butts, clarinet and Tim Wilhite, contra bass clarinet. The bands managed to take time out for a little fun, too. Stage Band and Swing Choir went back to Conception, Missouri, for the second year. They toured the secluded grounds of the monastery and listened to the Kansas City String Quartet perform. " There's a feeling you get at Conception. It's almost like a time warp," said Kelly Hamilton '79.

Although she w as not chosen the w inner of the contest, Jackie's essay w as rated in the top fifteen, and she w as named second runner-up for congeniality. Jackie said her scariest mo ment was reading her essay to the judges. "I got all to ngue-tied, and my voice began to crac k," she said. She felt her participation in the contest w as an important learnin g experi ence. "The most important thing was getting close to other girls and sharing o ur fee lings, even though we hardly knew one another," Jackie said. Part of her learning took place before she left for the contest, w hen she had to as k vario us businesses to spo nsor her, the $150 cost of food and lodging expenses.

In addition to those expenses, Rick planned to buy a $1,150 dirt bike for the upcoming s~ason, and he paid a $9 entry fee for every race. Nevertheless, by the end of his fourth year in motocross, Rick thought his money had been well spent.

He mounts his skateboard and starts the wheels rolling. Pushing off, his body low and arms waving, he starts down the concrete mountain. He swerves to the bottom and back up again. His body sways as he eases into the concrete formation resembling a half pipe. Sizzling wheels plunge rapidly into the bowl, as he goes around and around at Concrete Wave's wild terrain on 84th and Grover. Nick's interest in skateboarding began in 1976, when neighborhood kids were riding them. He built his first skateboard of wood and roller skates. After practicing in his basement to keep his balance, Nick began practicing once every three weeks at Concrete W ave. But transportation confined him to neighborhood hills and schoolNick Kurt has a great time on his yards for daily two-to-three hour practices. Finally, last summer, he built a plywood ramp in his backyard. "I built it because it gave me more variation than street skating," Nick said. By looking at magazines and television and by watching other skaters, Nick learned stunts such as the Gorilla Grip, in w hich the skater takes his shoes off, grabs each end of the skateboard with his toes and jumps in the air. Nick tried teaching his mother and sisters to skateboard, but they didn't get the hang of it. "Mostly all it takes is practice, if you have the balance," Nick said. Because Nick had to pay $150 for two skateboards, he began building and selling boards for extra money. 11 1 sell them for $15 to $20, depending on how much time I put in," he said. As snow and ice covered the Wave during winter, Nick said he just dreamed about the spring. sophomores 147 Dawn Ri ckabaugh Raymond Ri ef Eileen Rin g Chu ck Rodenburg John Rogers Nancy Rogic T o ny Rois Tracy Ronnfeldt G ail Roush D enise Ro y er Conn er Ryan K evin Sass Pat Sc h erle Chris Schulz Kent Schupp Li sa Schwarzkopf Kar en Seid el Jerry Seyler T odd Sh anks Troy Shaw Julie Sh ea Ros ie Sh ea T ara Sh erman K athleen Shill Dani elle Shoe m a k er Ri c h ard Simm o ns Ja mes Sinn ott Tammy Slavin Jodi Smith Lau ra Smith Mark Smith Me lody Smith 148 sophomores Nature girl J ennifer Kinney '81, is more at home in the woods than in her living room watching television. Jenny has been a Girl Scout for nine years, serving as a group counselor at Camp Neyati for the last four years. Activities at the camp continue through the year, so instead of spending winter hours in front of the TV, Jenny braves the outdoors to camp and teach basic camp skills, such as building a fire, cooking, and identifying birds and animals. "I think it's really satisfying to help little kids learn something," Jenny said. On winter weekend campouts, Jenny's girls sing folk songs around the campfire, roast marshmallows, sled and just have a good time. "With the challenge it provides to keep warm, and the opportunity it offers to get away from it all, winter camping gives me a feeling of independence," Jenny said. In 1978, Jenny gained added independence when she was one of 40 girls in the nation to go to Big Horn, Wyoming, where she spent two weeks trail riding, backpacking, and camping. "It gave me the experience of working with others as a team, and enjoying fun and fellowship," Jenny said. Ready io start a toasty fir e, Jenny Kinney ga t h e rs twigs near h er h o me.

Two months atter the fall, she was practicing eight to ten hours a week at Skate Town in Omaha. That summer, Cathy began competitive skating and has been competing for four years. She has won 15 trophies, 28 medals and 5 plaques, ranging from first to third place. In June of 1974, Cathy began taking lessons once a week. "My mom thought it was a passing phase," she said, "but she knew I was serious when I began going to the rink six times a week." Cathy sa id she likes skating because she can incorporate music, dance and athletic ability in one sport. "I didn't have the time or money to take lessons for all three, but skating gave me a chance to do them all," she said. Cathy also said she enjoys the recognition she receives as a skater. " When I was in grad e school, I played the violin, but no one seemed interested," Cathy said. "Competitive skating, on the other hand, is something many people admire." Skating has given Cathy a chance to travel widely. She has competed in Indiana, Texas and Colorado. Of her first trip to St. Paul, Minnesota, Cathy said, "I think I was more intrigued with the trip than the skating." Cathy looks forward to competing in the nationals before going to college, where she plans to major in fashion designing o r music. 150 juniors Karen Belt Lori Berg Denise Black Don Blakeman April Bolton Craig Bothwell Roy Boyden Rhonda Bozek Cindy Brandon Lori Brooks Mike Brown Robin Brown Scott Brown Teresa Brown Jeanne Brunow Mike Buckmaster Bonita Burke John Burke Teri Burke Julie Button Barb Cain Dan Cain Luann Camp Ron Carberry Steve Carberry Penny Cary Lori Ceder Dana Chapman Lisa Christenson Jennifer Christians Cath•y Christiansen Dustin Christiansen Sharon Coenan Rhonda Cox Terry Crompton Matt Crowl Blair Cudmore Jane Dale Maggie Daley Bill Denny Toni DiBlasi Susan Dressel Dan Driver Doug Driver Bernie Duis Brenda Duncan Christy Durham Steve Eicher M ark Eigan Kathy Embry Julie Espinosa Susan Eyberg Sherri Fay Jim Ferguson Penny Flanery Cathy Fletcher janice Fl inn Cesar Flores Scott Fort All ison Gates Darcy Gearhart Shawn Gib on Lori Gigliodoro Charles Gilbert juniors 151 Single ring ceremony ends on '' I n this corner, wearing red and white, weighing 119 pounds is the winner of the Junior Golden Gloves . . .

When he reached the fifth grade, his dad, a newcomer to boxing, started coaching him. They spent 12 hours a week building Rick's endurance. "Dad is behind me and boxing," Rick said, " but he doesn't want me to get serious." Rick plans to follow his dad's advice and not go pro, even though he has won 80 of the 100 matches he has boxed, captured the 1978 championship and placed twice as junior state runner-up. Rick is usually nervous when he enters the ring, but he said those feelings disappear when the bell rings. "All I think about is winningwhat I'm going to do next and how to do it," Rick said. Amidst the ringside shouting, he hears only his parents, who come to every match they can, yelling support as loudly as possible. "They make me want to try harder," Rick said.

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

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

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

Since then, Kim has won over 20 awards, broken two city tournament records and become the first Council Bluffs girl to win Metro. " I get nervous before matches, and I don't sleep the night before," she said. Because she puts too much pressure on herself, she said art has provided a release. " My art gets me away from everything," Kim said. Her 1979 projects were done in clay. " I've done really weird things dealing with hell, fan - tasy, and the struggle for self-identity," she said.

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

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

But even after being stung and after learning of his father's allergy to bees, Steve returned to his hobby. " I have 80 to 90,000 bees in the spring and summer," he said. · His work involves seeing that there is a queen bee, and no disease. " The queen lays 2000 eggs a day," Steve said. "She can live for six years, but I usually get a new one every other year." While the bees work making honey, Steve makes money selling it. The average year brings him $350.

He was born with cerebral palsy. "I just think of it as a small inconvenience," Don said. "There's no other way to think of it." Don had his only bad feelings about his handicap during his early teens when he and his family moved to Frankfurt, Germany, for three years. "It was a completely different surrounding," he said. " I felt like we just landed out of nowhere. I didn't know anyone." In that strange new land, Don said he would sometimes get the feeling he was being left out of things, but he usually got over those feelings quickly. "I'd just go find something to do by myself," he said. During his high school years at AL, students and teachers alike noticed Don's ability to accept his handicap, make the best of everything, and keep on smiling. "Don is always cheerful. It is rare that I hear him make a negative remark about anyone," said Dorothy Button, librarian. "He accepts people as they are, and he has a sense of humor about life and about himself. He has been an inspiring person to know." Mike Spoto '80, also noticed Don's cheerfulness. "There's never a day when he doesn't smile or a class where he's not laughing," he said. Cheerful smiles warm the conversation as Don Simmons talks with night janitor Carl Frost in th e student lounge. --- ---------------==---~-- Chuck Smith Gayle Smith Mark Smith Geoff Smith Tammie South Robert Stephens Jim Stone Tim Storey Kellie Storm Kim Swanger Liz Hagen Cherry Lieber seniors 171 Lori Swanger Theresa Swanger Nancy Sweet Jeanine Talty Gay Taylor Marci Telpner Penne Templeman Linda Thomas Lisa Thomas Phil Thomas Sandy Thomas Su zanne Thomas Jan Thompson Larry Tibbles Ron Tierney Steve Torneton Sandy Town Larry Traylor Criss Tritsch Scott Trively N ikki Trongaard Howard Trusty D eni se Trzec iak Greta Umstot D avid Urich Lo ri VanPelt Sandra Vergamini David Voss Ju dy Waters Shell y Weber 172 seniors Kathy Webster .

Coached by Peggy Petersen 79, they warm up for the Saturday game. Their little bodies run in place and do squat thrusts and jumping jacks. The choach cheers and the kids scream with excitement. Each tries to out yell the other. "I want to play in the first quarter!" "No, I do!" Made up of eight-year-olds and younger, Peggy's team, the Super Soccer Kids, participated in the parks and recreation soccer program. "When we have games, I really get into them," she said. "I scream and cheer for the kids. They all think I'm crazy." When she began coaching a year ago, she attended training sessions and read books. During the season, she spent two nights a week practicing for games. "They play pretty well for beginners," Peggy said. "We've won one game, and that was against an undefeated team ." Peggy would like to get into recreation as a career. "I like being around little kids, watching and cheering for them . It makes me feel good," she said. A pep talk to the Super Soccer Kids is Peggy Petersen's way of planning strategy for a Saturday game at ISD's field. seniors 173 THOSE IN CHARGE Forty-six years of school ''I love students, and I love art!" said Berniece Ross, art instructor, just before she retires January 11, after 46 years of teaching, 30 of them at AL. Before teaching, Ross went to San Miguel Allende Art School in Mexico. Later, on her second trip around the world, she studied art in England under 25 teachers from other countries. During her long career, she shared many memorable experiences with students. She remembered the time a student threw away a painting he didn't like. After she retrieved it, they did repairs on it. She later learned it had won a gold medal in a New York art fair. After they graduated, students kept her informed. One wrote her telling of his job as a cartoonist for "Playboy." Other students wrote her that they had become art teachers.

Ross' most recent students had various ideas about what made her a good teacher, "She taught me not to give up, to keep working. She always showed me I could make anything into something good, if I were patient enough," said Pat McConeghey '79. "She let us be free and paint what we wanted," said Dave Telpner '80, who credited her with teaching him everything he knew about colors. After Ross retired, she hoped to teach young children in her home. She explained why it was so hard for her to give up teaching. "Art goes way back in our family," she said. "I think it was my destiny to become an art teacher." In her silent room, Berniece Ross uses her free hour to engage in painting, her favorite pastime.

Behind the door sat Dr. Ellen Simmons, assistant vice-principal, who came to AL fro m James Monroe High School in the Bronx. The wait to see Simmons w as sometimes long because her solution to discipline problems involved more than giving students quick lectures and having them sign referrals. Soon after school started, Simmo ns realized many students didn't know the rules because they had not read the student handbook. Her solution was simple. When a student was referred for an infraction, Simmons handed him the handbook, helped him find the appropriate section and then let him read for himself the consequences of his action. "One of the things I've tried to impress upon students is to be at peace w ith one another," Simmons said. "Each student should be able to walk down the halls without name calling or any other unpleasant thing happening." To help avoid unpleasantness, Simmons tried to get students to use " tongue power, not fist power." Students having disputes were called to her office to talk them out. Simmons believed she was successful . " I've had students admit they cut classes in the past, but this year they wouldn't think of cutting," she said. Some students agreed with Simmons. " I think students feel safer and have more confidence in th h I t " 'd J 'f Ch . t' '80 Organization is the key for Dr. Ellen Simmons as she w rites a note as a personal e sc oo sys em, sa1 enni er ns 1ans . reminder. 176 staff Jeff Haun Industrial Arts Joe Hauser Science Lucile Hoffman Counselor Dave Holmes Art Bill Hughes Business Penny Hutchison Physical Education John llcisin Social Studies Sonja Jackson English COOKS A D CUSTODIAN .

(ABOVE) Strolling through the halls, a tall , dark-complected man would smile cheerfully, expressing friendliness and encouragement to the students and teachers he met. Dr. Raj Chopra, Council Bluffs' new superintendent, spent approximately 70 per cent of his time visiting schools. By visiting with students, he hoped to reach his goal of having 90 per cent of all students know him by the end of the school year. Students who got to know Chopra were im - pressed. "When I first met him, I thought he was just a projected image, but the more I was around him, I realized his attitudes and friendliness were genuine," said Lynn Damme '79. Teachers' reactions to Chopra were similar. " Personally, I'm very impressed by him," said instructor Mary Gepner. " I like the fact that he gets out and speaks w ith students and teachers, instead of shutting himself up in his office." When Chopra talked w ith students, he often spoke of their futures. " The future of Ameri ca depends on our youth," he sa id. Believing it was important to bring a po itive outlook to Council Bluffs, he often met w ith as many as 300 citizens, telling them what was good about the city and its schools. By maintaining an open door policy w ith his team of teachers and adm inistrators, he hoped educators could better fulfill their role of "ser - ing and inspiring youth." " I believe in young people," Chopra said. " The day I don't feel t hat, I' ll get out of education." staff 179 .....-------------~ ~~~sssss~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7' IOWA CLOTHES Corner of Scott and Broadway Phone 322-5567 DAVE'S 66 !

A small group of militants in Iran tried blackmailing the U.S., and you were mad. Inflation had reached double digit percentages, and you couldn't afford to do many of the things you wanted. Sometimes just a movie date became a major expense. As gas prices sky-rocketed to $1 .15 a gallon by January, it became a struggle just to fill the tank of the car for which you had worked so hard. And then, like everyone else, you worried about the future. Would we find a new source of energy, or would the U.S. continue to be reliant on foreign countries for oil? Would you be able to support a family when the time came? Would the invasion of Afghanistan finally end in a military confrontation with Russia ? Would even the girls be drafted? It was an election year, and Pres idential hopefuls flocked to Iowa, battling for superiority in our early caucusses. Who could get our country back on its feet again? Carter, Baker, Connally, Kennedy, Bush, Brown, or Reagan? In 1980, the pressures of a world in rapid change bewildered you. From day to day, one old answer after another fell by the wayside, and you, with your society, looked for new directions.

And how you begged Mom to take you to Al's musical, play, and Roadshow? High School activities always looked so exciting, and you dreamed of the time when you would be old enough for that kind of fun. But now that you were in high school, nagging questions filled your head weeks before each big event. How involved could_you get in Homecoming activities? Junior Class needed your help on the float, Pep Club wanted you to decorate the halls, and Student Council needed your help for the dance. Had you spread yourself too thin? How could you spend four hours a night practicing for the musical and still keep your job and good grades? How would you feel if you weren't a part of the cast? Who would you ask to Christmas Dance, how could you muster the courage to pop the question, and when would be just the right time to do it? Could you get up the courage to audition for the Roadshow? Who would be willing to do an act with you ? Would your plans fall into place after graduation? How would you feel Commencement night, knowing you would never see most of your classmates again ? Could you afford to spend almost $100 on Prom and all of its accessories? Of all the parties going on, which ones would you attend, her friends' or yours? But even with the anxieties you felt, it turned out that Prom was unforgettable, the Roadshow was a riot, and you couldn't feel better about your post-high school freedoms. You found that life's special moments w ere unforgettable, partially because of the anxious anticipation you felt. Even the expense, the questions and the small problems couldn't keep you from feeling excited to be a part of Al's big events. big events 7 Campaigns '' I just saw Chip Carter, the President's son in room 105! He's gone, but don't worry, you'll get to see some famous people, too! Howard Baker is coming to Tange's room tomorrow, George Bush will be at Club 64 Thursday, and Ted Kennedy will be at St. Albert's Saturday Because of Iowa's early caucusses, students talked of candidates flocking to Council Bluffs to state their views and extol the virtues of political involvement. Howard Baker chose Al's wood shop as the scene of one of his seven Iowa news conferences. Baker, whose campaign dealt with the energy problem, said the country must "rely on local individual initiative, not the government." He complimented AL students for building a solar home in Council Bluffs. Chip Carter, on· the other hand, held more of a question and answer session. Most questions dealt with Iran although some students asked about legalization of marijuana and how the President felt about the draft. When Principal Robert Capel asked who was a better politician, the President or Mrs. Carter, Chip responded that his mother was superior. He left, telling students that whether or not they supported his father, it was important for them to get involved in the Laughing with students, Chip Carte"r walks through the halls after speaking to seniors. (ABOVE) 8 campaign visits campaign. And AL students were willing to get involved. Only one person out of 200 polled stated he wouldn't vote when he reached 18. Most felt voting was their duty, and that those who didn't vote had no right to criticize. "I will vote because I plan on taking full advantage of my constitutional rights-I want to be in the participating minority," said Rew Goodenow '81. Candidates went away leaving many impressions. When 200 students were asked who they favored, top vote getters were Ronald Reagan with 61 votes and Senator Edward Kennedy with 41 votes. Julie Edwards '81, supported Reagan. "He has fresh ideas, and since he has helped California, he certainly could help the U.S.," she said. On the other hand, Kennedy supporter Carl Henningsen '82, felt Kennedy to be "liberal and not afraid to change old ways to solve today's problems." Incumbent Jimmy Carter placed third in the poll with 29 votes. His ardent supporters felt he had not been given a fair chance and needed another four-year term to iron out problems. Whether our political visitors made the issues clearer was not for sure, but one thing was for certain-AL was into politics, and students would be watching the returns in November of 1980.

(BOTIOM) campaign visits 9 e've S porting startl ing blue eyeshadow and gleaming red lipstick, and revealing a buxom 64" chest and shapely legs covered with curly dark hair, Dan Wohlers '80, appeared as Al's first male candidate for Homecoming Queen. "It was meant as a joke, but it turned into a big thing," said Wohlers. Wohlers was a popular candidate. He received a significant number of votes, but not enough to win, according to As - sistant Principal Don Moxley. Wohlers' appearance was just one of the things that made this year's Homecoming unique and successful. Spirit was in abundance everywhere. Red, white and blue streamers cascaded from ceilings, walls and windows. Red Tshirts and cowboy hats appeared as students fired up. Spirit wasn't the only thing that fired up. As over eager chieftains attempted to send smoke signals to one another, spectators were alarmed to see the Senior and Junior Class floats erupt into clouds of smoke and flames. Fortunately the flames w ere put out in minutes, leaving two charred and smoking floats to continue on their way. Despite its self-destruction, the Senior Class float, with the slogan, "T-P the Chieftains," was judged the best. This year's parade made history for another reason. There were a record breaking 20 entries compared with an average of 12 or 13 in past years. Enthusiasm carried over to the game. Red and blue balloons drifted into the sky, as excited fans encouraged their team to break its losing streak and defeat Bellevue East. Standing out from the rest, five girls wearing white gloves and jac kets nervously awaited half time. Tears of joy fi lled the eyes of Rhonda Bozek '80, as she was crowned queen. The game ended with the scoreboard showing a disappointing 7-42 loss. Spirit wound down as the dance, fea - turing Mirage, brought Homecoming to an end. Over 400 attended, and for the first time in years, a small profit was made. As streamers and posters were torn down, bleak walls reappeared and the past week became a memory. 10 homecoming got spirit, yes we do! ,_ With tinsel crowns and a bag of candy for the kids, " Queen" Dan Wohler and " King'.'

Three hours later, decorations littered the floor, darkness reigned, and rowdy, happy memories replaced the romance. It all began weeks before as girls walked through the halls searching for a date to share the evening with. Summoning their courage, some had the experience of role reversal for the first time. "It was pretty hard to ask a guy out, but I'm glad I did. I had a great time," said Michelle Phillips '82. As December days floated by, the dance became the main topic of conversation. Then finally Dec. 17 arrived. Foreign Student Club members worked all day to create the festive atmosphere. "The decorations were terrific. They put me in a Christmassy mood," said Kay Nelson '81. And so the hours passed. Couples filtered in from the foyer and the dance floor was soon filled with people boogying to the music of The Flexible Flyers. Decorations came down in less than an hour, much to the dismay of some. "We spent hours putting them up, and it was hard to see them come down so fast," said Penny Poffenbarger '81. "It made me wonder why people came to the dance." But others disagreed. "It all started when one star came down-after that, everything went. It was great," said Alan Poulos '81. Whatever their opinions, mal'ly people took advantage of the destruction to grab a souvenir star. Of the original 165 couples, few were left at the end. "It got pretty rowdy when people started tearing down decorations, so we left early," said Kaylene Achenbaugh '82. Most couples ended the night with a fancy dinner. Noisy groups of friends and cozy twosomes could be seen virtually everywhere, as couples talked, ate and remembered, capturing memories to treasure until next year. 14 christmas dance Occupying a comer of the girls' bathroom (probably the most visited room of the evening) Carolee Joslin, Mary Harrison, Cheri Parramore and Patricia Thorn put the finishing touches on their appearance.

Burke, one of these days you are going to break your neck .. . " The minute the curtains closed after each performance of " The Sound of M usic," these comments and others like them were heard as everyone rushed onto the stage to congratulate one another. To an outsider, the cast would have looked like one big family, and to many of those involved, this was w hat they were. "When you work together for so long, you can't help but get close to one another," said Cheri Parramore '80, w ho played Maria. The esti mated 12,500 man hours sper.t on memorizing lines and songs, blocking scenes, sewing costumes and building scenery brought the cast together. "It was a hard show to do as it was so well known and we had the movie's reputation to follow," said Patricia Dontchos, director. Dontchos caused some apprehension Making up involves utmost concentration for Kim Ranch as she puts on her mascara. Sue Ahrendts looks on. Make-up for the 8 p.m. evening performances often began as early as 5 p.m., because make-up faci lities were so crowded. (ABOVE) 16 musical among actors, since thi s w as her first production at AL. But after th e show w as over, this feeling had disappeared. " She was a great director," said Brian Brow n '80, who portrayed the captain. " Sh e gave me so much help with m y characteri zation and made the show a lot of fun." The main problem encountered was set construction. "I misjudged the tec hnical ability of my students," Dontchos said. Blueprints were bought for the set design, but stage manager Connie Sutherland '80, had never worked w ith th ese before. At times Sutherland said she felt like giving up. "It took us over a wee k to build four pillars. We had to redo th em I don't know how many tim es," she said. Changing costumes presented anoth er backstage problem. Costum e changes often had to be made in a matter o f minutes, so people undressing were common backstage sights. " I think I scared a lot of people when I started stripping on my way to the dressing room," said Parramore. The children were the biggest problem, and several " High on a hill was a lonely goat herd ...

The six weeks o f hard work and late nights culminated in fi ve p erfo rm ances. Audience reaction was excellent, and standing ovations w ere received after each evening performance. " It was th e best musical I've seen at AL in 12 yea rs," said Don Scheibeler, English instru c to r. Som e acto rs could even see th e bright side of the catcall s and snide rem ark s at the matinee.

"It was almost like I ate, drank and slept with that thing." Rehearsing every day after school for nine weeks, going over and over lines, and spending Sunday afternoons at director Patricia Dontchos' apartment improving problem scenes, "Crucible" cast members put in more than 845 man hours preparing for performances April 8, 9 and 10. Mastering the Old English style of language was difficult for some of the novice actors. "I had a lot of trouble with my 'iines," said Regan Webb '81, who played Hathorne. "In the trial scene, Bernie (Duis) and I even had a script hidden in a law book in case we forgot our lines." Most cast members agreed, however, that staying in character was their biggest problem. "We were always fooling around at rehearsals," said Jim Bolas '81, who portrayed Hale. But the closeness of the cast made backstage eruptions and petty arguments uncommon. "We all got along really well," said David Tuttle '81, who played the lead, John Proctor. "Maybe because we were all new at acting, we Stage lights hold Valerie Hansen's attention as she works to solve a minor problem.

The long weeks of rehearsal culminated in two successful evening performances, which drew disappointingly small crowds of less than 50, and an afternoon performance for students. As expected, AL students lived up to their matinee reputation, greeting actors with constant harassment. At one point in the first scene, things got so bad that Assistant Principal Don Moxley stopped the play and demanded "Quiet ... or else!" But despite the noise, the play received many favorable comments. "I thought the acting was great," said Laurie Bledsoe '81. "John Proctor was my favorite. It was almost as if Dave (Tuttle) was Proctor, and not just acting the part." Another audience favorite was Tituba, a black Barbados slave played by Shiriey Hooper '80. "I didn't know it was her until I looked at my program," said Darnell Anderson '82. "She was a completely different person under that black face and huge chest." Whatever the audience remembered, "The Crucible" was pronounced a sue- . cess. "What they lacked in polish, they more than made up for in energy," said Dontchos. Conducted by Willard (Vince Tangeman), John Proctor (David Tuttle), Mary Warren (Susan Ahrendts), and Giles Corey (Brad M iles) enter the courtroom ready to present evidence. (ABOVE) all-school play 19 I T he strong, steady beat of "Ease on Down the Road" suddenly stopped, leaving 12 girls standing awkwardly on stage while the sound crew rushed around frantically backstage to restart the music. Although the roadshow was riddled with such problems, when the time came, performers and stage crew really pulled together. Dur.ing the first act of the matinee, the sound system failed. But quick thinking enabled the sound crew, seniors Drew Ranney and Dan Nielsen, to set up a new system before the second act. "We were backstage and could tell the mikes weren't working, so we immediately went to get the Swing Choir's system," said Nielsen. Fast work was a key factor in getting the entire show off the ground. The stage lights had been lent to TJ for their musical, which didn't end until the day of Al's first dress rehearsal. "We didn't get the lights back until 5 p.m. Monday, which left us only two days before the first show," said Kerry Mortensen '81 . One of the highlights of the show was the Swing Choir dressed as muppets for their "Muppet Movie Medley." The audience never knew how close members had come to not finishing their elaborate costumes. "Most of us left everything to the last minute," said Tim Beck '80. "Mr. Spann was really ticked off because we still hadn't finished by dress rehearsal." In fact, the procrastination of several members, according to Rick Steenbock '81, forced parents to jump in and sew at the last minute. Muppets were not the only perFeathers fly as Sherry Smith portrays one of the "Chicks in the Mood."

Feathers flew when juniors Beth How ell, Sherry Smith, and Wanda Wright dressed as 6-foot chickens and danced to "In the Mood." "I liked the ch ickens best; they were really cute," said Laurie Bledsoe '81. The group Spectre, composed of juniors Jeff Achenbaugh, Bill Derby, and Mortensen, was another favorite of the matinee audience. They played o nly for the matinee, feeling an older audience wouldn't enjoy their hard rock, such as "Hey, Hey, My, My" and a song they had composed, "Make Me Want You." Although beset by delays and momentary disasters, cast members delighted audiences by living up to the law of the stage, "The show must go o n." Ever played the trumpet by ear?

(TOP) roadshow 21 Precious and few A s anxious couples made their way to Carter Lake on April 19, expectations were high. The late evening and early morning hours stretched ahead of them, and each couple had their own way of filling them. From the beginning, the Junior Class set out to make Prom live up to its theme as one of the "Precious and Few" moments people would remember. "From September to April we sold everything from M & M's to slaves to raise the $3000 we needed," said Lucile Hoffman, Junior Class sponsor. But raising money was only the start. "Few people realized how much behind-the-scenes work we had to do to make everything go smoothly," said Nancy Rogic '81, Prom chairperson: When couples walked into the Carter Lake Ballroom, they entered the medieval atmosphere of the days of King Arthur. Suits of armor stood guard, and tables were decorated with cardboard replicas of age-old weapons. "The knights made it all that little bit more special," said Melody Smith '81. Yet to most, dancing to the fast beat of "Odyssey," catching up on friends, and watching the crowning of Bill Shockey '80 and Ann Cosgriff '80, was just the beginning of a long, eventful Something amusing on the dance floor attracts the attention of Susan Tait and Brian M ogden. M ogden was one of a number of guys who mixed cowboy hats with formal attire. (ABOVE) 22 prom evening. "Prom was great, but afterProm was even better," said Tracy Heater '81. After-midnight antics usually began with dinner at one of Omaha's fancy restaurants. "A whole bunch of us went to Mister C's and had a fantastic time," said Kelli Stevens '81. After-dinner plans, however, varied. Some couples preferred to spend the morning hours alone; some got rowdy at a bowling alley; others partied with friends in private homes or rented motel rooms. "About six to nine rooms were rented out for parties at Best Western," said one junior boy. "As the parties livened up, 'Do Not Disturb' signs appeared on several doors." But perhaps the most popular spot in town from 2 to 4 a.m. was Rolla-Rena East. Approximately 100 people attended a roller-skating party organized by Laura Meyer '81, and Rogic. "Skating at that hour was definitely an experience," said Roy Boyden '80. The long night ended with breakfast at a friend's home or at Perkins. "I was dead by breakfast time, but it was a great way to end it all," said Craig Johnson '80. Wherever and however they spent the morning hours, most agreed that April 19 was one of the precious and few nights they would never forget. One of the 250 couples who attended Prom, Laura Allen and Mike Buckmaster walk toward Carter Lake Ballroom, looking forward to a fun-fill ed night on the town.

W alking back to her seat, she thought, " W ell, this is it. This is what I get for 12 years' work. But I've gotten so much more-friendships, love, good times. W ill it ever be the same?" She saw classmate Tom Samuelson walk to the stage. Follow ing him, the Class of '80 changed their tass les from left to right, and became official Abraham Lincoln graduates. Marching briskly out, she tho ught, " W ell, there's no going back now-my high school days are over. But like Mom said, this is a beginning, not an end.

Who could he be but Pinto, played by John Belushi, of "Animal House"? Pinto was just one of many characters who became regulars in the homes of students fortunate enough to have Home Box Office, provided by American Heritage Cable television. It didn't take long for Cable to become immensely popular with students. "Cable has a great variety of films which you can watch in the privacy of your own home," said Dave Trzeciak '80. The Movie Channel and HBO programmed many popular movies, making Cable a great value for students who didn't want to pay the $2 to $3 .50 cost of theatre movies. Cable cost $5.95 per month for the basic outfit. "The cost is really reasonable, considering the number of popular movies they regularly show," said Jim Boomsma '80. Besides the movies, Cable TV offered a wide variety of entertainment, ranging from an all-sports channel to a 24-hour news station to family stations.

An optimist, on the other hand might have said, "We've reached the bottomthe only way to go is up." history of year 33 34 ha irstyles and ma ke-up A s alarms blasted all over town, girls dragged themselves out of bed to begin their morning routines. After their showers, they blowdried, curled and styled their hair, applied blush, mascara, and finally dressed, spending anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours on the entire production. A student survey of 50 girls showed they spent an average of five hours a week in the bathroom to "fix" their face and hair. "You only live once," said Susan Ahrendts '81, "so you should look good while enjoying life." Many other girls agreed that looking good was a top priority. "The effort you take to care for yourself gives a reflection to other people that you like yourself," said Beth Rennie '81. To achieve their good looks, girls used a moderate amount of make-up, including blush, mascara and lip gloss. "Smart girls use make-up to highlight good features," said Tonya Johnson '82. Although make-up consumed a lot of time, hair required the greatest effort and endurance. Ninety-three percent of the girls reported that they washed their hair everyday. "I steam curl my hair three times in the morning to make sure the curl will last all day," said Amie Mendoza '81. Steam curlers weren't the only process used to produce curls. Some girls suffered through regular sleep-on rollers, while others used curling irons and produced miniscule curls with perms. Although almost any hair length was acceptable for girls, most guys had their long locks cut shorter and feathered to frame their faces. Many reported paying up to $12 for their cut and style. "The 80's clean-cut look seems to show guys are looking into the future You never see an executive with long hair," said Brian Brown '80. Even as the styles chang ed and prices rose, looking good was still a priority. The casual long-hair look was worn by many girls. Teri Brainard " lets her hair down."

Slitted skirts provided a feminine look. To keep the tailored gal looking soft and seductive, slits varied in length from four inches to a foot. "I like slitted skirts! They 're sexy and very nice looking," said Ron Coenen '81. Warm jewel-toned sweaters and flashy silk blouses complimented both jeans and skirts. Flirty designer jeans made girls want to save their faded flares for spring cleaning. Guys also liked the tight pants. "Girls in tight jeans are interesting to watch. They're far too suggestive, but I don't want the girls to stop wearing them either," said Erik King '81. Girls weren't the only o nes dressing sharper; guys replaced ragged jeans with cords and holey T-shirts with nice shirts and sweaters. Girls appreciated the change. "If guys look better, you feel better being around them ," said Susan Smith '81. Casual country styles were the in thing for both sexes during informal times. Fancy western shirts w ith mother of pearl buttons and straight legged jeans, were accented by showy cowooy hats and awkward hiking boots. Although sophistication was the in thing, the simplicity of blue jeans and shirts was still enjoyed by many.

"Ten more minutes of this class and then I can forget about school for two days." Time drags slowly by, but the bell finally rings and it's PARTY-TIME. Partying was a part of weekend activities for many students. Eighty-three percent of 226 students surveyed said they drank at least occasionally, and 50 percent said they smoked pot at least once a month. Drinking usually took place on weekends with friends. Students' preferences varied from Creme de Cacao to Tequila. Favorites were Jack Daniels whiskey and Millers beer. Most students said they liked the taste or just liked being stoned. Other reasons for drinking were to forget problems or to avoid being hassled by drinking friends. Smoking pot was a favorite "mind expanding experience," as one student put it. For some students, pot was not limited to weekends like booze. About 50 percent of the tokers said they smoked at school occasionally. Reasons for toking were usually the same as those given for drinking. But drinkers and takers agreed that the two drugs gave different "highs." Many said pot gave a mellower high, while liquor loosened their inhibitions, causing them to make fools of themselves. "Besides, if you smoke pot, you don't get a hangover," said one student. But not all of those polled drank or toked. Seventeen percent of the surveyed students said they didn't believe in the drugs or that the drugs' effects on their friends scared them. In any case, students agreed that weekends were made for getting rowdy and having a good time during the alltoo-short hours before the drudgery of another school week began. 83 Drink % of students who: So Smoke Pot 1.7 - Neither The big payoff.

Of 100 students polled, 70 percent said they considered themselves to be fit. They reported that they jogged, rode bikes, jumped rope, lifted weights, participated in sports, walked, and exercised to stay in shape. Students gave different reasons for staying in good condition. Some felt it helped them cope with problems. "When I have problems, lifting helps me think them out," said Scott Harter '80. "You can take out your frustrations lifting weights. After a while, it becomes almost a hobby," said Jim Boomsma '80. Girls got into the act too. "Girls are more athletic nowadays. Working out helps a girl stay in shape and look good," said Cory Peters '81. Some students liked the open-air freedom of jogging and bike riding. "You feel free when you jog. It's an easy high," said Teri Murray '80. "Bike riding lets you see the countryside. It's less strenuous than jogging, but it really gets you in shape," said Dan Keim '81. Students who didn't consider themselves fit gave several reasons: "Too much homework," "I'm just too lazy," and "It's just a plain waste of time," were typical answers. "With debate, yearbook and a job, I don't have the time or energy," said Kathy May '81. But some students with a full schedule still found time to work out. Four-point student Terry Crompton '80, took five college prep classes and participated in four extracurricular activities, yet he ran nine miles a day. "I like runnin g. It gives me a break from home and school," Crompton said. Pain shows on the face of Kurt Jones as he lifts weights to stay in shape.

A s dar~ness fell on. Fridays, it was time for relaxm', hangin' out and enjoyin' the night life. Broadway came alive with the din of pounding radios, blaring horns and shrill voices. A stop at the lights before the Eighth Street viaduct could have meant a race to the other side. Engines would rev in challenge to each driver. At the change of the lights, the flag was down, and they were off! Speed gained and tension mounted as the short overpass was turned into the Indy 500. At the end of the expressway, the driver on the left took a sharp swing into Burger King. After a race like that, he deserved a break. "Burger King has good food," said Gina Behrens '82. "You can feel free to goof around and have fun there." But the pizza joints were even busier than the fast food restaurants. Minsky's, Pizza Hut and Pizza King were popular, but the most crowded joint was Godfathers. "It's really a neat place," said Mindy Briggs '82. "Most of our crowd hangs around there." When they weren't dragging or eating, many kids were just cruisin'. "I could go cruisin' at 6 o'clock and not want to come back 'til the next morning," said Teri Brainard '81 . "You see everyone you know on the streets." On weekend nights, the parking lots of Sam's, Ogden Plaza and Sear's were full of kids, noise and four-wheel drives. "Sam's is the central location where everyone driving down Broadway turns around," said Kent Schupp '81 . While Sam's was the turning point, Ranks was transformed into a Tyco race set with cars cutting cookies and screeching laughter filling the air. After eatin' and cruisin', it was time to go home and rest up for Saturday's night life.

Music was rated by students as their main source of entertainment. Going to the Civic Auditorium for a concert b y popular performers was a favorite form of enjoyment. More than 11,700 people crowded to see Cheap Trick in July; Linda Ronstadt appeared before 8,289 listeners in April; and Jerry Jeff Walker, at his performance in March, filled 1449 sea ts in the Music Hall. Kids enjoyed the music, excit e m ent, and bright lights at th eir favorite concerts. "Everyone is there to see the performance," said Kelly Weaver '81. "It's really something else to see a thousand kids having fun." While so me enjoy ed the excit e m ent of the concerts, others like lazing at home just listening to the stereo. "It's nice to sit at home listening to your own music while talking with a friend," said Jody Brockman '82. Being with a fri end also could have meant w atching favorite movies on cablevision, available to Council Bluffs for the first time in '79-'80. "A bunch of us get together and watch movies that were popular la st year or the year before," said Julie M aaske ' 81. "Where e lse can you see 'Ma gic' or 'Saturday Ni ght Fever' for nothing?" While cablevision was a cheap pastime, going to the theater for a good movie often provided a ni ght out.

"I think it's great; I like to play tennis and now I can get outside and get some exercise even in January," said Salih lnankur '80. But others disagreed. "I really miss being able to go sledding. I feel condemned to the house since it's too cold to do summer things and too warm to do winter things," said Chris Kelley '81. The winter of '79-'80 was short, lasting only from late January to mid-March. When the snow finally came, the mood of the entire student body electrified. Sledding parties were planned with bonfires, ice skates and toboggans. "I think it's great that we finally got some snow; it's just beginning to feel like winter," said Paul Howe '80. - "We finally got some snow," proved to be an understatement. Once the snow began, it seemed it would never end. Our only measurable snowfall came between February 4 and March 12, but during that time, we got a big 12.3 inches. But that was not to be the end; on March 26, another snowfall put a damper on everyone's spring fever even though the big flakes melted as they fell. So though the winter season came late, most students agreed that it lasted long enough.

The phone rings, and a guy's voice answers. Nervously, the female asks, "I was just wondering if you wanted to do something Friday night." Conversations such as these became more common as girls began taking more of the dating initiative. Both guys and girls liked the change. Out of 120 people surveyed, 90 percent of the guys and 80 percent of the girls agreed that the girl should initiate dates once in a while. But of this 80 percent of girls brave enough to initiate dates, 75 percent were reluctant to give up special treatment. "I don't think it's fair that the guy should always be responsible for the date, yet I enjoy being treated like a lady," said Nancy Rogic '81. This special treatment included the guy driving and paying for the date, according to most girls. Guys didn't agree completely, however. Most thought girls should pay for the date once in a while. "She eats as much as I do," said a junior boy. Yet, most guys agreed that the fellows should continue to do the driving. "If the girl is going to pay and take care of the date, it's the guy's obligation to drive, just to be nice," said Kent Beck '80. On the whole, although some details remained to be worked out, the dating game was being played by a new set of rules.

Students found they were already expected to portray many different roles in their relationships with people. Two predominant roles were that of respectful son or daughter, and loving brother or sister. Many students found them difficult parts to play. "My dad and I argue all the time," said Kelly Wright '82. "Sometimes I think it's because he doesn't like me." Family disputes didn't always stem from a clash of personalities, though. "My sister and I like each other," said Teri Wooley '81, " but there are times when we argue just to get rid of tension." Friends sometimes became sources of press ure as well, but talking things through seemed to solve most problems. " When my friends and I disagree on something, we try discussing it rationally instead of blowing our tops," said Christy Mann '81. In the role of obedient worker, students encountered the stress of dealing with customers and co-workers. "I try to get along with the customers," said Julie Mass '81, "but there are some people who really get on my nerves because they're so picky." At school, some students felt compelled to fill yet another role-that of dedicated student. "I feel pressured to do well, because I don't want to feel as if I'm a waste of time for the teacher," said Marilyn Ulmer '81. Students found that the problems of relating to others would always surround them, and that growing up meant learning to play the many parts life would demand of them.

Work was a must when students had to pay over a dollar a gallon for gas, $3.50 for a movie, 8 bucks for a pizza and over $100 for an outfit. Prices strained everyone's budget. And then there was a car: insurance cost $100 to $500 a year and many students' car payments were over $100 a month. How did the average student make it at the turn of the decade? Ask their parents for money? Not on their lives! A survey of 438 students showed they often felt guilty when asking their parents for money. "I feel terrible when I ask my mom for money. I'm old enough to pay for my own things," said Shellie Kilnoski '81 . Of the 438 students polled, 71 percent had jobs. On the average, they worked 21 hours a week for $2.72 an hour when the minimum wage was $2.90. Twentyseven students worked over 40 hours a week. Surveys showed that almost every student who didn't have a job wanted one. But what about the pressures of working? "It's hard to work and get homework done," said Mark Lee '81. Most said they would have quit their jobs, if they could have made it without them. To deal with work and school, 47 percent of the surveyed working students sacrificed part of their education by getting early dismissals. Work also hurt social lives. "Since I don't get off work until 6:30, I can't do anything in the afternoon," said Julie Button '80. "Parties seem to come on days when I can't get off," said Valerie Hansen '80. Yet students continued to work-an,d to watch the money they earned slip through their fingers. MONEY~ wish it grew on trees money pressures 53 Not good enough!

In a poll of 150 students, 82 percent said they felt pressured about grades. Sophomores seemed to have the hardest time, with 86 percent reporting strain. Pressure to do well came from parents and teachers, but most students felt the greatest pressure was self-induced. Many looked forward to being accepted to college; others hoped future employers would be impressed by grades. Still others wanted personal satisfaction. "When I receive a good grade, I enjoy the feeling of self-achievement," said Dan Knotek '81. Ninety-two percent said they wanted to get "good grades." Since an astounding 62 percent said they felt a C was a low grade, A's and B's were the main goals. To keep their grades up, many students said they strived for extra credit or extra study time, which included anything from 15 minutes to three hours. "If I have a really hard test coming, I will study until I fall asleep with my books open," said Scott Fisher '82. One third of the students said they resorted to cheating, including copying, receiving signals, and using crib notes. "Even though I know cheating is wrong, I do it sometimes because school is really hard for me," said one senior boy.

A s the price of gas brought the cost of a night's cruising Broadway to more than $5, students began to wish Council Bluffs had more places they could go for recreation. Ninety-five percent of those polled said Council Bluffs lacked sufficient entertainment for teens. Students said game rooms, dance halls, a civic auditorium, better restaurants and movie choices would be welcomed additions. " We need a place for teens only," said Terry Brainard '81, " a recreation center with pool, ping pong and foosball." Students admitted there were a few new hangouts, such as Burger King or Big Cheese, but many complained that these didn't provide a place for bored teens to congregate. " If you go to Burger King or somewhere and stop to talk to friends, the security guard is right there telling you to buy something or leave," said Nancy Rogic '81. "You can't even sit and relax aher eating." The Parks and Recreation Department had funds for teen programs, but they were limited . . "We do lack facilities, but hopefully the new Kirn pool and YMCA will help," said Richard Downing, director. / Several students attributed Council Bluffs' lack of recreation to its short distance from Omaha. 56 ads-city recreation Poppin' John's l Best Wishes to the Class ol'SO I I I I I I ~ GoClf ather's l>izza • • I I An Offer You Can't Refuse Abnosphere ••• Naturally. 1821 West Broadway city recreation-ads 57 I Andersons Camera Center IS4 Midlands Mall Same Day Koda-Color Film Processing Baked Fresh Daily in Our Shop See You For Breakfast Some of the W'orld 's Greatest Pizza K-MART 58 ads The Saving Place Wit h a smile, Danie lle Shoemake r serves custome rs at KMart.

But by the end of the contests, the stands were almost bare, and players walked off the field, battered and dejected, their hopes of winning dashed to pieces. Finishing with a 1-8 record, the Lynx were devastated by opponents, who scored almost five times more points, with a total of 250 to 59. "The team wanted to win and everyone worked hard, but in a game, we just couldn't get it together," said Mark Wichman '80. For new head coach, Larry Argersi-· nger, the season was frustrating. Hard luck struck immediately as illness took key players Larry Eakins '80, out for the first five games: and Kurt Jones '80, out for the first three. Opposition gamebreakers often took the will to fight out of the gridders. "We'd be playing good football and the other team would get an 80-yard punt return for a touchdown and we'd give up," said Chris Higginbotham '81. Coaches were stumped because they could not pinpoint the problem. Although the stats showed that turnovers weren't a major problem overall, in the game against Benson, the Lynx turned the ball over five times, three times when they were in scoring position. "The Fans go wild as varsity gridders record the ir o nly victory of the season against TJ. (R IGHT) Huddling up against South, varsity playe rs plan strategy. (ABOVE) 62 varsity football Benson game took the most out of ev-. eryone," said Argersinger. "We should have won." Coaches said the team lacked leadership to coordinate the offensive and defensive units. A weak spot in the offense was the passing attack. Of 78 passes attempted, only 18 were completed, with 11 intercepted. Players and coaches agreed that the record didn't reflect their effort. Three weeks before school, players attended two grueling practices daily, totaling 60 hours in sun or rain. Regular workouts included "gassers," each of which consisted of three sprints to the forty and back to the goal line. "Nine out of ten guys thought we'd still win, so we just kept on practicing," said Chris Juel '80. Efforts didn't go entirely unrewarded. On October 2, the Lynx came out on top of a 13-7 decision against TJ. Offense and de~ense worked together to get their only win of the season. "There's nothing like · · winning. I hope the kids never forget th: feeling they had after beating TJ," said Argersinger. For some players, hard work resulted in individual honors. Scott Harter '80, who accumulated 41 solo tackles and 119 assists, and Tom Schropp '80 who recorded 61 t · h . ' s ops wit 50 assists were chosen for the All-Southwest low; team. Marshall Brown '80, Bill Shockey '80 and Juel received honorable mention.

He throws, but the pass is intercepted and another game slips through the hands of the JV football team. That was a common scene as JV and sophomore football teams ended their seasons with 0-8 records. Playing strong defense, the )V's entered the fourth quarter of five games within a touchdown of their opponents, but because they lacked speed and skill in the backfield, they were unable to pull off a victory. "We were hurt by not having enough of our own practice time and having players at positions they had never played before," said Dan Knotek '81. Running other teams' offenses to help the varsity get an advantage over their opponent accounted for much of the JV's practice time. As a result, players felt the team didn't have enough time to get their own problems solved. Sophomores got off to a slow start, not scoring in their first four games. Averaging five penalties a game, they lost over 40 yards in each contest. "Penalties resulted from nerves and mental breakdowns," said Regan Nuzum '82. Fumbles were just as bad. Out of 29 fumbles the sophs lost 19 of them. ' Although both teams w ere losing, neither team gave up. "They were th e best bunch of guys I've worked with," sa id Coach Mike Batten. "We never gave up and w ere alw ays optimistic, looking forward to our next game," said Rick Steenbock '81 . Leaders helped the teams get through the frustrating season. On the JV team, players said Kevin Sass '81 , alw ays seemed to come up with the key play. For example, as Benson was about to score on the Lynx in the first half, Sass broke through the line to force a fumble. Richard Belt '81, also named as a team leader, was known for going to any extreme to make a tackle. Although the teams didn't win games, players agreed that playing on either team was good experience.

Come ' on! Don't let that guy get ahead of you." JV Cross Country runners encouraged their varsity teammates by yelling such remarks from stations along the course. The team's enthusiasm resulted in a 9- 2 dual meet record, and first places in five invitationals, the best finish in Al's history, according to Coach Mike Freeman. The first victory provided a spark, with Terry Crompton '80, finishing first and Carter Wietz '81, third. "Winning the AL Invitational raised our morale and got us on the right track for the season," said Scott McCalmont '80. The team's top finisher in every meet, Crompton went on to take first in six out of eleven dual· meets and six out of ten invitationals, never losing in SWI competition. For Crompton, even losing was sometimes a victory. Although he placed behind Central's Jim lebinz in a dual meet against Papillion and Central, Crompton broke the school record by three seconds with a time of 10:21. In the same meet, Bob McElroy '80, Dana Herren '81, and Matti Hayrynen '80, all finished with times under 11 minutes, making the race the first in Al's history in which four runners came in under 11 minutes. The only real disappointment the team faced was missing state by three points, placing fifth behind Sioux City Heelan in districts. Freeman said that if Crompton and McElroy had not been suffering from sprains, the team would have gone to state. But the team was used to injuries. They had suffered with them throughout the season, usually conquering them. When Wietz, for example, turned an ankle in practice, Hayrynen was brought up to varsity, and did a great job, according to teammates. "If Matti had not come over from Finland," said McElroy, " we might not have won some of our meets." 66 cross country "To make up for the injuries, the boys knew they had to work extra hard," said Freeman. "They gave almost one hundred percent at every practice." On a typical day, they ran three to five miles in the morning and six to nine miles after school. Morale was also a big asset. "With a small team, we had more of a family feeling," said Jim Pillar '80. The girls' team was not as successful. They competed in only four invitationals because of a late start, according to Freeman. Although Nancy Rogic '81, was the only returning starter, Mary Furler '82, took top honors on the team, placing tenth in the city meet. r ·BOYS' CROSS COUNTRY WE 36 19 15 11 23 win 23 16 44 16 16 Prep Gross South St. Alberts Northwest Bellevue East Central Papillion Millard TJ Benson Invitationals AL Glenwood Heelan Lewis Central Harlan Ronca Iii Metro Shenandoah District City THEY 21 37 49 27 32 forfeit 32 47 19 44 45 first second seventh first first fourth tenth first fifth first GIRLS' CROSS COUNTRY Harlan Inv.

They were most aware of Omaha's power during a five-game losing streak. "The girls should have beaten at least five of the eight Omaha teams they played, but they just couldn't get it together," said Coach Jan Lyle. Most teammates agreed that lack of experience kept them from beating Metro competitors. Only Karen Sealock '80, Rhonda Bozek '80, and Linda Farrell '81 , returned as varsity players. " Because most of the girls had not played together, we lacked teamwork," said Farrell. Lack of experience also hurt skills. Averages for serve receptions, for example, increased from 27 to 53 percent during the season. Finally, against Iowa teams, the girls entered a x~game w inning streak beginning in the Sectional Tournament. The most rewarding win came against Treynor. After losing the first two sets, the Lynx came back to w in the last three 15-4, 15-6, and 15-10. "After we lost the first two, we realized they only needed one more, so we went out and played our best," said Carol Knight '81. Two girls led the team throughout the season. Patty Holeton '81, and Jean Arterburn '81, carried 93 percent averages for serving, compared to the team's average of 84 percent. Even though the 8-10 season was less than Lyle had expected, she said she was never able to accuse the team of not working. Their dedication was apparent even after the season ended, when they cleared over $1000 from selling jew elry. "We really surprised ourselves w hen w e found out that just 15 of us had sold that much jewelry," said Julie Drennen '81. Looking forward to a new season with most players returning, the girls planned start, but improved with experience. They were 2-5 at mid-season. Yet, they pulled off a 6-6 record for the year. "The girls were a great bunch to work with," said Coach Ron Adams.

They were in the water at 3 o'clock and out by four. Boasting only a 4-8 record, swimmers agreed that things would have been easier if the new Kirn pool had been finished. "Other teams have their own pools and are in the water for three hours a day, while we're in the water for only an hour," said Stan T orneton '82. Inexperience was a problem for the Lynx, especially in the difficult individual medley, which had no returners. Eventually, Torneten proved he had the endurance and ability to swim the combination of four strokes. He improved all year, finally taking fourth in the C.B. Invitational. The team finished sixth. Another high point of the season was senior Roy Boyden's diving performance at districts. Finishing fourth, he qualified for the state meet. For their improvements, the team had to work every minute of their ho ur practices. They swam the length of a 25-meter pool 120 times for a total of 3000 meters a day. Swimmers agreed, however, that the strenuous practices were worth the effort. Many enjoyed the individual nature of the sport. "You get the feeling of accomplishment when you win," said Troy Shaw '81. "There's no one to blame for losing except yourself." Because their sport was individual, swimmers competed against previous times or an old record. Shaw said he had cut his time almost five seconds and was only two seconds off the school record, which he hoped to break in '81. Also inexperienced, the 3-12 girls' team faced the unique problem of having a first year coach. But although she had never coached, Jane Peters was able to help the girls. "Mrs. Peters had a lot of enthusiasm and was w illing to do almost anything for us," said Paula Hartfield '82. 70 swimming " It makes you work harder when you know someone believes you can succeed." With the help of instructor Kay Hatterman and Peters, two girls set school records.

Patience and time were required before inexperienced sophomores were able to accomplish such routines. Although they posted a 2-7 record, scoring over a thousand points was quite a feat for the boys' team, especially since more than half were first time sophomore gymnasts. Coach Bill Beasley faced the tough task of training the sophs. They had to be taught the basics before learning competition stunts. "I was afraid to do stunts, but with work and help from teammates, I gained confidence and was able to do them," said Jay Christians '82. Returning lettermen made up for the team's lack of experience, according to Beasley. All around, David James scored the highest number of points for the season with 75.

Although the girls didn't practice during study halls and before school, their enthusiasm was high. "During practice, we helped and encouraged each other," said Kelli Stevens '81.

With twice as many girls participating as last year, they scored an all-time high score of 96.60 in the Iowa districts.

(FAR RIGHT) 74 boys' basketball agers, 7-14 doesn,t tell real story As the crowd roars and precious time ticks away, the Lynx take the ball out of bounds, trailing by one. A Lynx shot goes up with three seconds left. There is a great sigh of disappointment as the ball trickles off the rim, leaving them losers of another close game. Such scenes were familiar to the varsity basketball team, who lost six of their 21 games by four points or less and suffered three of their first five defeats in overtime. "It was hard to get a win after losing our first five by so few points," said Dan Ballenger '81. But finally, after posting only a 5-13 season record the team worked to become district champs, walloping Lewis Central by 23, and outlasting Harlan by four. Then, during three quarters of substate play against Urbandale, this 7-13 team and their roaring fans had reason to believe they would be the first team since 1 963 to go to state. In a Harlan stadium filled with the thundering sounds and terrible towels of a huge AL crowd, the Lynx entered the fourth quarter with the four-point lead they had kept since the end of the first. But their season came to an end when Dan Jackson '80, fouled out and the Lynx were called for 13 addition'al fouls, giving Urbandale 25 shots from the free throw line and enough points to win by 12. DesFite this disappointment, the team was thrilled to come so close to state. " It was great to win districts. It showed we could play," said Kent Beck '80. Coach John Moore and the boys agreed that throughout the long season, they kept trying, and that their spirits were never as low as outsiders may have thought. "The boys always look optimistically toward the next game. They love basketball more than anything and will never give up," said Moore. At the beginning of the season, the boys agreed that free throws were a big problem. But staying after practice to shoot began to pay off as several team members' free throw percentages went from 50 to 70. Teammates agreed that through their hard work, they became good friends. "We were so close we could say things to each other that we could never say to anyone else," said Jeff Lytten '80. Their comradeship often helped on the court. "In the game against Lewis Central, I was really nervous at the free throw line, but Todd Shanks winked at me and the ball went in," said Jackson. Team work and effort finally paid off for individuals as well as for the team. Jeff Lytten was selected to the second team All-Metro, the first team All Southwest Iowa, and honorable mention All State. , """'I BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL WE THEY 51 St. Albert 53 56 TJ 61 65 Millard 74 64 Gross 72 64 Ryan 69 55 Harlan 45 80 Papillion 95 67 South 65 66 TJ 69 51 Westside 82 69 Prep 81 78 Lewis Central 73 67 Central 68 42 Northwest 76 62 Fremont 68 67 Bellevue East 56 50 Benson 61 73 Tech 66 Districts 76 Lewis Central 53 61 Harlan 57 Sub-State Tournament 59 Urbandale 70 \. .... boys' basketball 75 / il"2-15season surprises tea111 ~ ~I really thought we'd do • • much better than our record showed," said Rick Steenbock '81. Ending with a 2-15 record was an unexpected disappointment for the junior varsity. Players said the biggest problem they faced was having to give up top junior players Dan Moore, Rick Cochran, and Todd Shanks to varsity. "If a boy played well with few mistakes and could deal with the pressures of varsity, we gave him a chance to play," said Coach John Moore. "The success of the JV team was really not important. We were mainly trying to build the boys up for varsity," he said. Another problem for JV was the lack of practice time spent as a team . They usually spent practice times scrimmaging with varsity. "Since we usually spent our time running the varsity opponents' offense and defense, we didn't have enough time to perfect our own plays," said Kevin Crouse '81 . The team's main weakness was a lack of good ball handlers, according to Coach Bob Burns. If not for turnovers, the team might have been able to win some close games. In the Millard game, for example, the Lynx turned over the bal l 50 times, and lost w ithin just a point 57-58. Although they had some bad games such as the 111-40 score against Westside, the team didn't lose hope. "The coach told us we always had a chance, and that we had nothing to lose since the O maha teams w ere so good," said Alan Rickert '82. "We li ked to play, so we just got in and did our best." The sophomore team ended their season with a 6-10 record. After starting with two losses, they went into a six-game w inning streak, only to finish their season w ith eight straight losses. "Our season was going great until we ran out of gas like the Democrats," said Ron Crowl '82. 76 jv soph basketball JV BASKETBALL WE THEY 52 St. Albert 70 46 TJ 47 57 Millard 58 43 Gross 70 51 Harlan 64 69 TJ 67 63 Papillion 64 50 South 70 40 Westside 111 30 Prep 73 56 Lewis Central 65 64 Central 98 69 Northwest 84 66 Fremont 63 59 Bellevue East 67 54 Benson 99 50 Tech 74 SOPH RECORD 6-10 A friendly shove gets Brad Gibson a rebounding position as David Brokman goes up for th e shot against TJ .

(FAR LEFT) jv soph basketball 77 I ady Lynx sa ~wait ,til next year, C harging out onto the court to begin warm-ups, the Lady Lynx often found themselves overpowered. The Cyclonettes, for example, brought a total of 16 years' combined high school experience to the Harlan game, compared to 11 for AL, and they towered over our girls by an average of five inches per player. "It was hard going into a game against an experienced team, when we weren't exactly one of the powerhouses in southwest Iowa," said Cory Peters '81. Although inexperience was the main problem, team members cited other factors in their 6-12 record. "There was a lack of dedication. People weren't willing to sacrifice their social life a little fo r basketball," said Julie Edwards '81. It wasn't until the end of the season that a winning combination in the forward court was found. Finally, two sets of forwards were used, one group taller, the other shorter and faster. Every quarter the forward sets were switched. "We used alternating offenses so our girls would be fresher and our opponent's guards would be tired and slower," said Coach Dennis Devault. With this strategy, the girls won their last three games. The team felt they put forth their best effort against Essex. The forward court racked up 77 points in their highest scoring performance, and the guards were able to stop Essex by switching the defensive squads at half time. "At half time I talked to the guards and showed them what they could do to stop Essex; then they w ent out and put it into action," said DeVault. The Lady Lynx also turned in an impressive performance aga inst Sidney. Down ten points at half, the girls came back to tie the score in the third quarter and went on to win by scoring three times as many points as their opponents. Statistics showed the biggest problem with the offensive attack was free throw shooting. Of 374 shots taken from the charity stripe, only 240 were made. As a 78 girls' basketball result, the girls gave away several games. In the Glenwood game, for example, both teams had almost the same field goal percentages, but AL missed 13 free throws and lost the game by 14 points . Although the girls said their 6-12 record was nothing to brag about, with only two seniors leaving the squad, two years of experience, and a few very talented sophomores, team members felt very optimistic about their chances for next year. "Our team will be mainly seniors and we will have worked together for two years," said Marcie Hodge '81 . "We'll be more experienced and stronger." The JV finished the season with a 7-9 record. " I was sick the first part of the season so the girls not only had to adjust to a new coach, but they had to readjust when I returned," said Coach Pettepier.

When the varsity team lost to Papillion, they wrestled without five starters due to injuries or sickness. Illness and injuries plagued the team throughout the season. In a dual meet against Gross, Chris Juel '80, was injured when he was slammed to the mat by his opponent, who used an illegal hold which the ref didn't see. Juel could not finish the match, and Gross went on to win 25-20. "I wanted to finish, but the coach wouldn't let me to prevent further injuries," Juel said. An injury to Bill Meadows '80, caused the team to place third instead of first in the Metro Tournament. "If Meadows would have been healthy and placed at least second, we might have won the Metro Championship for the second straight year," said Larry Peterson '80. Another problem the team faced was inexperience, mostly in the lo wer weights from 119 down, which were filled primarily by sophomores. Determined to have a respectable record, the team refused to allow their inexperience and injuries to stop them. They placed no lower than third in any of their five tournaments. "We had to work really hard to have a decent year," said Dan Feller '82. Working hard included daily two-hour practices, where wrestlers contorted, stretched, and tortured their bodies, doing over 100 sit-ups, push-ups, and agility exercises. Then they would repeatedly slam each other to the mat to practice takedowns and technique. Finally, exhausted and soaked with sweat, they finished each practice w ith still more sit-ups and push-ups. The highlight of the 7-4 season was taking first at districts, and qualifying five wrestlers for state. "We were lucky to have a wrestler for each weight," Allen said. "We were surprised when five wrestlers qualified." The five qualifiers were Roger Williams '80, Tim Draper '81, Matt Winchester '81, Meadows and Juel. None of them made it past the first round.

The main reason for the decrease in bowlers this season was the lack of city competition. In previous years TJ, St. Alberts, Lewis Central, and AL competed; but with the loss of coaches at TJ and St. Alberts, their programs were cancelled, leaving LC as Al's only competitor. "Kids lose interest when they're bowling against only one opposing school," said former Coach Robert Pettepier. But bowlers agreed the competition was tough. "We had to bowl seriously, because as we got better, so did they," said Dan Nielsen '80. Bowlers stayed interested by going out for pizza after practice and messing around at the bowling alley. "Even though the season was long and at times it got a little monotonous, we still had a lot of fun," said Brian Carlin '81. The team accumulated a record of 276 wins and 140 losses, which was good enough to earn them a spot at districts in Atlantic. It was at districts where the boys experienced their high and low points of the season. They bowled their way to first place and looked forward to travelling to Des Moines for state competition. The team was disqualified, however, when an official at the bowling alley accused members of smoking. But teammates insisted that the accusation was wrong. "We were very disappointed because we were falsely accused. As a result, LC went to Des Moines and we stayed home," said Rock Cundiff '80. But bowlers' biggest complaint about the year was the poor job done by sponsors and the newspaper of announcing team standings throughout the year. "The large sports get all kinds of publicity and recognition, but we didn't even have our wins in the announcements," said Scott Clark '82. 82 bowling Ready to release the ball, Rock Cundiff hopes for a strike.

(FAR RIGHT) 84 intramurals ntranJural tea111s pla tor tun and glory M ore than 70 boys calling themselves names like Boogs, PITS, and Playboys got together for intramural basketball on Monday and Thursday nights throughout the winter. Most teams put much thought into their names. The most unusual name was PITS, which originally stood for "People Instituting Terrible Shots." As the season progressed, the boys changed the meaning to "Pitiful Intimidated Terrible Sophomores." "All the other teams were so tall," said Lyle Andreson '82, of the PITS, who ended with an 0-9 record. One team whose name didn't describe it as well was the Losers. "We used reverse psychology," said Jim Pillar '80. "If we thought of ourselves as losers, we wouldn't feel as much pressure to win." Their strategy worked; they ended the season in second place. But most players said winning wasn't everything. "Winning is good, but having fun is much more important," said Todd Madsen '80, of the Lakers. Albert Worley, coordinator of the program, disagreed, however. "Winning a big game is just as important to these players as it is to varsity," he said. Most observers could see that winning mattered. Tempers flared when players disagreed with refs. Remarks like "Where did you learn to ref, you dumb twit?" and retorts such as, "Shut up, or I'll give you a technical," floated around the gym. Players chose intramural ball over varsity because the pressures weren't as great. "Varsity basketball takes dedication, sacrificed time, and energy," said Kevin Sass '81. Yet pride was important to these relaxed players. If a team did well, comments like "We're going to take it all," could be heard the next day. Determining the champions required two semi-final overtime games which provided near upsets, and a double overtime final game. Second placed Losers beat the No Names by just two in the first game. In the second, underdog Lakers lost to the Boogs by just two. Finally, the Boogs beat the Losers 51-49. Intramural volleyball teams also competed for enjoyment. "Most players liked the sport in P.E.," said Kay Hatterman, coordinator, "so they got some friends together for a team ." But lack of facilities became a setback. Although teams organized in November, other activities in the gym kept them from competing until January and made tournament play impossible. After two teams quit, the Nicro Mashers won the championship with the best record, losing only one game. r INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL PLACE RECORD first Boo gs 11-0 second Losers 9-2 third Lakers 5-6 fourth NoNames 6-5 fifth Playboys 5-4 sixth Bud men 4-5 seventh Old HiNoon 3-6 eighth Highway 61 2-8 ninth PITS 0-9 \...

With 24 boys on the team, competition for the ten varsity and JV positions was rough, so players practi ced hard, some dropping nearly 20 stro kes by the end of the season. As a result of their persistence, the boys accumulated a record of 17-2. Leading the team, Jeff Lytten and Todd Norman shot right at par or a few strokes below. Norman took honors in eight of 17 matches and first place in the Lakeshore Invitational, tying the tourney record of 73. Lytten won honors in eight of 17 matches, won the City Tournam ent, and tied for first in the Metro with a 72. " Jeff and Todd were great golfers, and because they were both so good, they made each other play hard er," said Coach Phil Nielsen. The team lost only twice, once to TJ and once to M illard. " TJ won because they shot 20 strokes better than they ever had, but we slaughtered them the next time," said Rick Cochran '81. Players felt they also competed well against Metro champion, Millard. " It w as raining and cold on the day we played them. Besides that, they're a fantasti c team," said Jeff Lytten '80. The girls didn't do as well, establishing a 3-5 record. "There was a defin ite lac k of interest as well as experience," said Susan Massih '81 . Most of the team's experience came from Marsha Massih '80, who took honors in every match but one. " I was happy with the way I played, but I golf beca use I enjoy it," said Mass ih. With only five members, girls felt the game needed to be promoted. "Golf needs to be advertised much more.

Finishing the season 11 -0 was no surprise to Coach John Moore and the boy's tennis team. "I'm looking for the best season in AL history. They're a dedicated bunch," said Moore at the start of the season. The biggest win of the season was over Sioux City North, who had compiled a 53-match winning streak. " W e were all thrilled w ith the victory, and everyone was yelling on the bus," said Mike Hansen '80. "Coach put in the "Commodores Live" and cranked it all the way home." Other high points of the season were w inning the city championship and Hansen taking first place in districts, thereby qualifying for state. Team members attributed their success to depth. " Our greatest asset thi s year wasn't any one player; we had a strong to p six," said Matt Crow l '80. But accomplishments didn't co me easily. Players began practi ce at 6:45 a.m. and worked out from 3 p.m . to 5 p.m. after school. They challenged each other to ten-game matches, worked on serves, or hit balls w hich spewed at them from a machine. This work especiall y paid off for Mike Buckmaster, w ho ended 14-1 in singles. Other top players included Crow l, Salih lnankur, Kurt M ortensen, and Roger Barge. The girls also fini shed w ith a record their coach expected. " I expected to finish about .500, but not in the manner we did. It was a wierd season," said Coach Jan Lyle. The team had only 14 girl s, and only four were returners. All others were playing for their first year. "We lost a lot of seniors, and a lot of sopho mo res had to fill their places and learn at the same time," said Stephanie Peters '81. As a result, the team was inconsistent, experimenting all season w ith diffe rent players and sets of doubles to find the right combination. Their inconsistency was evident as they beat top teams such as Benson and lost to more mediocre teams such as M illard. Their big win was against South, w ho lost only one other match all year.

Reeves qualified in the 400-meter dash; McElroy in the 400-meter and 200- meter dashes; and Milner in the 1 OD-meter high and the 400-meter low hurdles. Also in the running was Bill Shockey '80, the only Lynx to make it to state in a field event, the high jump. In addition to achieving four state qualifiers, Lynx track teams broke 15 school records. With six returning lettermen and 13 new additions, the girls broke 12 of them. Although they began the season placing sixth out of six teams at invitationals, girls progressed to placing third out of 11 at Clarinda. Some runners decreased their times up to 17 seconds. "I never thought I could improve that much, said Sharon Young '82, named Most Improved Trackster. " But I give most of the credit to my teammates and M r. Batten for their encouragement." Such accomplishments didn't come easily. "It was a real struggle," said Reeves, who was named Most Outstanding. "Track takes a lot of hard 90 track work, dedication, and sweat." In a minimum of nine practice runs each night, sprinters breathlessly raced against the clock for a total of two miles. On the other side of the track, lonely distance runners paced themselves through eight different runs, totaling approximately three miles. Scoring higher all around than the girls, the boys managed to break three school records. Bob McElroy broke the 400-meter dash record with 49.69, the second best time in the state, while Scott Milner broke the 400-meter low hurdles with 54.8. Composed of 12 returning lettermen and 19 new runners, the team took three third places at invitationals, along with over 150 medals and ribbons. But the peak for the team was C.B. Relays, where they received second place and M cElroy was nam ed Most Outstanding Trackster of Council Bluffs. "That felt good, because Doug Stewart from Lewis Central and I are always competing, and I love beating him," said Mc Elroy. All in all, Coach Joe Hauser said the boys had better times on the track than in previous years, but they lacked points in field events.

I can handle it!" pleaded Brad Wright '82, when Coach Gary Spooner tried to relieve him in the game against TJ . Soccer players often begged to stay in, even though the game allow ed them only one five-minute rest period between two 45-minute halves. The team's enthusiasm showed as they ended the season w ith a record of 4-7, compared to last year's finish of 1- 12. Of 36 players who began the season, 28 stayed out, compared to last year's count of 15. " This year's team had much more experience," said Spooner. " They w eren't out there to kill somebody; they w ere playing soccer." But getting the experi enc e w asn ' t easy. During early spring practices, players came in from 34 degree weather w ith mud caked to their hair, eyelashes, shoes, and clothes. "When it's that cold out and you're soaked to the skin, the only thing you're worried about is keeping warm," said Todd Mann '80. But keeping warm urged players to give 100 percent as coaches led them in calisthenics, laps, and drills. Possibly the hardest part of practice, ball control drills forced players to dribble the ball with their feet while zig-zagging around a line of teammates. After weeks of practice, the season's high points came as the team defeated TJ twice w ith scores of 5-2 and 3-1 . Players were so excited by the victo ri es that they brought out a bottle of champagne and gave Spooner and assistant coaches Tim Alkire and Dave Holmes showers from the stream of exploding liquid. Teammates said they deri ved much of their playing power fro m fri endships that developed during the seaso n. Laughter often rang out as a coach was run down and tackled, or a ball was kicked at the head of an unsuspecting victim . Because soccer was not an officially school-sponsored activity, boys and girls participated together, and three players 92 soccer from Lew is Central were able to join the club. LC's Scott Hunt '82, surprised teammates by scoring six of the 16 goals of the season. " Scott had good speed, ball control, power, and a muscular build that enabled him to get around the fi eld easily," said Spooner. Coaches said the mixture of good players and good times made the season enjoyable even though it w asn't a winning one. "We had a lot of fun with this team," said Spooner. " W e never knew what could happen next."

"Special Olympics is the biggest thing that happens to us all year," said Alicia Carmichael '81, who competed in the standing broad jump and softball throw at the sectional meet. Winning a place on the state team, Bill Blocker '81, ran off the track grinning ear to ear. "I'm so excited, I'm shaking," he said. Other track and field competitors who went on to state were David Fauble '80, in the 220-yard dash and Diane Lee '81, in the girls' softball throw. Linda Miller '82, and Sue Wolfe '81, went to state in the 25-meter freestyle swimming relay. Wolfe also swam the SO-meter freestyle. Rivalry among schools and teammates ran high at times. "I thought for sure I'd win this heat," said Fauble, who participated in the 100-yard dash, "but I tripped a little at the starting line and it messed up my timing." Although AL athletes won many ribbons, just to finish was an accomplishment for competitors from some other schools. One girl sat wheelchair-bound as she competed in the softball throw. Over and over her coach handed her the ball and she struggled to mold her deformed fingers around it. Finally, she gained just enough pressure to hold the ball and toss it hard enough to see it land a couple feet ahead of her. A smile lit up her face as her coach congratulated her with a hug and said, "Good job!" "It's most gratifying for me to work with these kids," said Maureen Soliday, head of Iowa Special Olympics. " The kids are always appreciative of what you do for them." A bystander who may have felt pity at first soon sensed the pride contestants felt as they completed their events. special olympics 95 Error-tilled ga1Ues· 111ar baseball season With the crowd screaming in hopes of victory, the Lynx baseball team led Benson 5-0 going into the sixth. But a string of errors in late innings put the Lynx on the bottom end of a 7-6 score. The Benson game was just one example of several losses due to errors. With only four seniors from last year's team, inexperience was a major setback early in the season. The whole infield was made up of juniors, and a sophomore, Dan Feller, played catcher. " We had a young team," said Todd Rocha '81 . "The inexperienced players made a lot of mistakes in early season." But the team improved. In early contests, they averaged si x errors per game, but by late season, they had cut them to two. Batting also got better. The team raised its average 30 points in the last ten games, according to Coach Ron Adams. " We lacked the confidence we needed in early games," he said. Such improvements enabled the team to upset number one-ranked Westside 8-6 in a mid-season game. " It was great; we played a super game," said Wayne Munyon '81 . " It gave us a lot of confidence." But inconsistency and inexperienced pitching kept the team from matching last year's 9-7 record. They finished 7-11 . Because no one could earn a steady position in the outfield, six players traded starting spots throughout the season . " We really played up and down-sometimes we were great, but sometimes we were terrible," said Tom Wichman '83. Inexperience hit the pitching staff worst of all. W ith Scott Hall '81, and Alan Wilson '80, as the onl y two returning starters, W ichman and M arshall Brown '80, had to fi ll the other two starting positions, although neither of them had ever pitched varsity. With W ilson's all-around talent, Adams regarded him as the team's best player. As a pitcher, he compiled a 3-3 record and added two saves. He also achieved the team's best batting average w ith .333, smashing a homerun aga inst TJ in the last 96 baseball game of the season. The JV team, which went 2-9, lost five games by just one. run. They faced recruiting and pitching problems, but according to Coach Bob Burns, those who wanted to improve made progress.

(FAR RIGHT) 98 softball Extra energy key to softball strategy W hen the telephone rang early one Sunday morning in May, Coach Bob Pettepier heard the voice of softball player Lorrie Scott on the line. "Coach, we want to practice today. Can you be there?" she asked. Pettepier said it was unusual for players to call practices, but that such dedi.- cation was typical of the team. The girls knew their enthusiasm would really be put to the test during the summer when many of them planned to either quit working or arrange their hours around four games a week. They also planned to put in at least four hours of extra time on weekends when they would arrange their own informal practices on hot, humid afternoons. "It makes me feel good to put in extra hours, and it gives everyone a better chance to start," said Wanda Wright '81. But before their 31 games would begin, players had to endure the long, monotonous drills of spring training. Practices consisted of players standing in the field, hoping for a ball to come their way or batting consecutively without rest. "Practices are dull, but they have to be done," said Pettepier. Once the season began, the girls knew their games would depend on the improvement of veteran players. Scott, who had pitched for varsity as a junior, improved by averaging only two walks a game, compared to ten at the start of the '79 season. Increasing her batting average from .165 in 78 to .405 in '79, Lori Gigliodoro would also give the team a chance for · victory. " I really can't hope for a better average this year, but I'm going to try," said Gigliodoro. Harlan was predicted as the team to beat. "Harlan went to state last year and they have a fast pitcher," said Linda Farrell '81 . But with a lot of hard w ork, the girls thought they could defeat them. The team planned to play their first game against Glenwood May 27. softball 99 Autun1n antics Junior Varsity Football.

The new building offered a host of activities and boasted excellent modern facilities, which students felt enhanced the Y's programs. "The new Y is a hundred percent better than the old one in every respect," said Todd Shanks '81. Old standbys such as basketball, swimming and volleyball were given a new perspective by the huge new basketball-track area and the new Olympic sized pool with two diving boards. "The new pool is greatly superior to the public bathtub at the old building," said Jim Pillar '80. The new exercise room with its Olympic weight machine, bicycles and beauty bars was also a great improvement. "The weight room at the new Y is one of the best I've ever seen, even though they don't have any free weights," said Craig Johnson '80. Handball and racquetball courts, which were unavailable at the old Y, provided a new diversion for students who wanted to try fast moving sports. All in all, the new Y provided a badly needed pastime for many students, who found they enjoyed at least one of the many activities available. i·- • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • i • , .. ~-!.! . l , I PE EDEE LUBE ® Lubrications of Council Bluffs, Ltd .

Many club members argued that if they couldn't raise money, they wouldn't exist. "No way could we survive unless we had some sort of money-making project," said Tasha Kachulis '81 , Debate Club member. With gas prices topping $1 .20 a gallon, Debate Club had to raise money above their school allocation or give up going to tournaments. "The school doesn't pay for the gas; we do," said Kachulis. _ Another organization which had problems was yearbook. The staff wanted a bigger, more innovative book, and with inflation, printing and photography costs rose more than 20 percent. " It's a shame we have to spend so much of our time raising money instead of writing a good book," said Shirley Hooper '80, a yearbook staffer. In other clubs, money was needed to provide extra activities. " Without selling candy, we wouldn't be able to go on our spring trip," said Shawn Muschall '81 , a German Club member. Not all fund-raising was successful. A Science Club raffle, for example, netted just a few dollars in profit. So several clubs turned to selling doughnuts, easily earning at least $40 per sale. Students devoured over 12,600 doughnuts by the end of the first semester and helped the clubs raise over $1,890 for both the frills and necessities of organizational life. But by second semester, clubs were in trouble again. Arguing that doughnuts were bad for teeth and harmful to the breakfast program, administrators cut the sales to once a month per organization. It became time again for many clubs to decide what to sacrifice or how to invent a new way of making money. De-licious!

The boys were greeted by 12 wet cheerleaders waiting to hand them a box of homemade goodies and cheer them on for the game against crosstown rival TJ. Cheerleaders spent over 20 hours a week in such behind-the-scenes activities. "Students don't realize the amount of time we spend," said Amelia Mendoza '81. To raise money for new uniforms, cheerleaders organized pizza sales, bake sales and car washes, which made over $400. A new fund-raising project included selling "kisses." Boys paid the cheerleaders to give them a kiss, but instead they received a Hershey's chocolate kiss. Complaining that pep signs were soon torn down, the girls said that generating school spirit was the hardest project they tackled. "Some students don't have any pride for AL," said Lisa Smith '80. Yet many students and teachers felt that pep assemblies were louder and more enthusiastic than last year's. "The kids are really getting into the pep assemblies," said Melody Smith '81. In spite of their problems, several girls said they wouldn't want to give up their job. "I just love cheering," said Lisa Butterbaugh '82. With a new sponsor and almost all new members, Pep Club didn't get on its feet until December. "We had a hard time because no one knew what they were doing," said Debbie Camp '81. With their new sweaters arriving late, Pep Club wasn't seen as a group until the first basketball pep assembly. "We were so disorganized in the beginning," said Sheila Petry '82. Even with Pep Club's late start, many students a ppreciated them. "Cheerleaders and Pep Club did a great job," said Donna Fritz '81. Let's win!

She had made practice on time. The girls followed much stricter attendance requirements by using a demerit system. A girl received a demerit if she missed practice or a game. Receiving three demerits meant being benched from that week's game. Ten demerits resulted in removal from the squad. "We're trying to look better, so we're stricter, and we work on our differences. We're always trying to improve," said Julie Madsen '80. Many fans noticed the improvement. " I think they look better this year. It seems they enjoy it more than last year's squad," said Beth Howell '81. But prompt arrival for practice in the gym was not the hardest requirement of being on the squad.

During football season the two captains, Toni DiBlasi '80, and Julie Madsen '80, made up the dances and taught them to the rest of the squad. They spent two nights choreographing and three days teaching each new dance. The squad would then spend five hours a week practicing. "It takes about two or three days to learn a dance but longer to perfect it," said Marcia Christensen '82. During the basketball season, each girl had the added responsibility of choreographing and teaching as well as learning. The girls paired off and took responsibility for planning and teaching a routine for one particular home game. Despite the tough practices, there were advantages to being on the squad. "It's helped me to work better with people," said DiBlasi. " I think I've become more outgoing," said Julia Montgomery '81 .

Student Council President Matt Crowl said over the intercom just before he told homeroom representatives to pick up their share of the 1,296 doughnuts Student Council had purchased as a treat for Abe Lincoln's birthday. Besides celebrating Lincoln's birthday, Student Council sponsored an interschool dance with St. Alberts, an end-ofthe-football-season dance, and Valentine's Day and Homecoming dances. "The dances are a great way of meeting people and getting involved with school," said Sheryl Thomas '81. Most Student Council members agreed the dances were successful. "If a student came to a dance, he always had fun dancing and talking to other people," said Beth Allerton '82. The dances were all part of Student Council's goal to have at least one student activity each month. Other activities included the Homecoming parade Changing the marquee is one of the many jobs of Student Council member Tasha Kachulis. (ABOVE) Boogie to the music!

"We try to do at least one thing for the student each month. Whether he realizes it or not, there is an activity," said Crowl. Many of these activities were possible through the Student Council's fundraising efforts, including a parking lot rummage sale, a movie, and pop can col lections from the student lounge. The events raised over $500. But most members felt the most successful activities were the student exchanges with St. Alberts, TJ, and the Alternative Learning Center. "Each school is so different from AL. Everybody was so nice, even though AL is one of their rival schools," said Lori Johnson '81. Overall, many students and teachers said this was the best Student Council in the last three years. " Student Council did a great job this year keeping the student informed about school activities set up for the student," said Joan Yochem '81. business now helpin' out A reincarnation of Abe?

National Honor Society (NHS) delivered 465 of these tasty treats to celebrate the imaginary Gary Hough's birthday on leap year day and to raise over $160 for their scholarship fund. While NHS was funding a scholarship, Key Club spent time in the community. Two members worked twice a month at Jennie Edmunson Hospital. " It was rewarding. I felt I was helping people," said Vincent Tangeman '82. Courtesy Club lived up to its name by smiling, directing people to their destinations, and offering hot cups of coffee to parents and teachers during school events. "Courtesy Club exists for any organization that wants us to help out anywhere," said Laura Allen '81. When the club lent a helping hand, members worked hard. They helped at the musical, the school play, the Teacher Apprec iation Banq uet , and Open House, spending over 21 hours during the year. " The Teachers Banquet was w ild. I was constantly rushing around and everybody wanted what I didn't have. But it was fun seeing my old teachers again," said M ary Ann Knott '81. Future Secretaries of America (FSA) did their share by donating $25 to Goodfellows for poor families at Christmas. "I was glad we gave money to help out. It was a time to give," said Barbara Cox '81. To raise money, the club sold key chains and calendars, ending the year with a balance of $403. Though. these clubs did many different activities, they all had the same idea of serving when needed.

Finally, each family greeted their guest for a yearShirley Hooper from New Zealand, Matti Hayrynen from Finland, Annika Ericsson from Sweden and Layse Macedo from Brazil. Tired and excited, the exchange students began their first day in the U.S. Foreign Student Club helped families familiarize their guests with American I ife by sponsoring a Thanksgiving dinner. " The kids enjoyed it because it was new for them" said Penny Poffenbarger '81. "The dinner was different. We don't have Thanksgiving in Sweden," said Ericsson. Of their thousands of experiences, each exchange student remembered something different. " I'll never forget some of the embarrassment I've felt. In yearbook, David Tuttle and Dan Keim call me sheep feet because of my sheepskin boots," said Hooper, " but I don't own any civilized American shoes." Others said they would remember their new families best of all. " I thought the host family's hospitality was great. But I missed our traditional dish of blood pudding," said Ericsson. Hayrynen couldn't zero in on any one thing. " I' ll remember the whole thingthe trip here, and trying a new language, and especially the sports," he said. The foreign students formed differing views of Americans. "I think Americans make superficial friendships easily, but they don't make deep friendships easily," said Hooper. Macedo noticed the friendliness . "I will be sitting in the library and people will come up to me and just start talking," she said. The result of their involvement and experiences was lasting memories for the exchange students and for the people who knew them. "Hey, Kath, this is a kiwi fruit!"

(LEFT) small world foreign student club 123 Fun in any language E scaping from grammar assignments, translations, and oral quizzes, foreign language students joined clubs to learn about the cultures of other countries in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Some language clubs were easier to join than others. French members had only to pay dues of $2.50, and Spanish students had only to show an interest. But Herrs and Frauleins were forced to go through an embarrassing initiation at the home of Lori Brooks '80. First, the victim had to draw a consequence out of a box. Consequences included such charming activities as drinking eight ounces of water out of a baby bottle, begging around the neighborhood for a crust of bread, or having one's face washed by a member. If a person chose not to do a consequence, he had the "opportunity" to eat a caramel covered onion or a hot pepper. "Initiation was fun, but I'm glad it's over," said Margaret Lougee '81. After students became full-fledged members, clubs planned trips for the year. But paying for trips meant fund raising events, so French and German clubs sold candy, making over $555. Each club had at least one party for Christmas. French Club feasted on French foods. "The party was fun because everybody brought something and got a taste of something different. It was great!" said Susan Massih '81 . Students enjoyed the clubs for many reasons. "In class we mainly did grammar, but in the club, we had more fun and really learned a lot about the different cultures," said Beth Denny '81. German Club meetings usually started with a gossip hour and ended with games. Snacks of pizza and soft drinks were always available. "I liked the club because I became better acquainted with people," said M ary Beth Clark. '81 . Spanish Club occasionally relaxed at the Bleu O x, Taco House, or Taco Bell for lunch. "I liked going to the Bleu Ox because M r. Lara kept calling it the Blue M ule. It kept everybody laughing," said Amelia M endoza '81. Students agreed language clubs provided a break from classwork, promoted better understanding of other cultures, and let people get to know each other as indiv iduals. 124 foreign language clubs J Relaxing for lunch, Spanish students Susan Bronson, M ichelle Anderson, and Alisa Castillo take a break from classroom work to eat at Taco Bell.

Occasionally a drumstick pierced the frozen ground; bending to retrieve it, a shivering drummer hoped he had finally mastered the art of hurling it to the ground without breaking it. Such antics, band members said, helped them forget how cold it was and fostered a spirit of camaraderie among them. " When we joked around, the cold really didn't seem so bad," said Robin Swanson '81 . To perform in five half-time shows and march in three parades, band members marched over 30 miles and practiced ten hours each week. Sometimes it was so cold on the practice field that band members would keep their mouthpieces in their pockets so that the pieces wouldn't freeze and stick to their mouths. Occasionally a band member suffered frostbite. But the family atmosphere of the 83 members helped ease the pain and hard work. "It's like no other class. Mr. Misner respects us and we respect him and each other," said Julie Maaske '81 . When band season ended, the orchestra filled the auditorium w ith the notes of "My Favorite Things" for the musical, "Sound of Music." The orchestra practiced over 40 hours for five performances. They usually practiced until 10 p.m. but sometimes stayed until 11 p.m . "We got tired practicing, but the performances w ere fun," said Barry Larson '82. Stage Band accepted out-of-school engagements. Their most exciting was a recept io n for Presidential hopeful George Bush. Playing such selections as " Sugar Plum," and " What I did for Love," they performed for 100 people. Many said the rewards were worth the hard work. In the Veterans Day parade, Marching Band took first place. At the end of the year, the band took a trip to Adventureland while Stage Band w ent to Conception, M o. " W e met other kids from different high schools. It was fun," said Sherry Smith '81 . But the most valuable reward w as the sense of togetherness and friendship band members found during the year.

Using "Listen to the Music" as their theme and singing selections from the movies "Grease" and "The Muppet Movie," Swing Choir rolled into their tenth year. They received over 40 invitations to perform before grade school students, Midlands Mall shoppers and community organizations. Practices and performances took over 15 hours a week in addition to class time. "Practices are hard, and you put in a lot of time, but the performances m_ake up for that," said Christie Griffin '80. Crowds were receptive to the group, and standing ovations soon followed loud clapping and whistles. "It's nice to know people appreciate our music," said Chris Athay '80. Judges in Maryville, Mo. obviously appreciated the performers' talents, giving them a first place award among large schools at the Northwest Missouri State Swing Choir Festival. The group took second place overall. These 20 songsters, along with 40 others, formed the Concert Choir, which concentrated more on religious music. Requiring fewer hours than Swing Choir, Concert Choir performed in the Pops Concert, Christmas Program, AllCity Festival, Spring Concert and graduation. "I enjoy Concert Choir because it doesn't take up a lot of my time," said Mary Ann Hanusa '81 . Many members felt Concert Choir also taught them more responsibility and the ability to get along with other people. "We have to make practices and share music, so we learn to get along with others and be on time," said Derek McMains '81 . All State tryouts highlighted the year for many singers. Competing for a position in Iowa's best known choir, All State hopefuls faced the tension of trying out in front of a judge. Patti Musgrove, Mike Brown, Chris Athay and Cheri Parramore became part of the 600-member choir by beating over 6,000 other contestants. " I just couldn't believe I had made it," said Athay. "Choir is one of the best classes a person could take and fully enjoy," said McMains. Canes and top hats add class to the Swing Choir's "Soft Shoe Song" at the Pops Concert.

(RIGHT) 130 newspaper, yearbook staffs of reporting the year T-squares, pop cans and layouts cluttered Room 224 as 22 yearbo~k staffers hurried to make their monthly deadline and 14 news staffers rushed to get the paper out. "This year was really up and down for the newspaper staff," said adviser Linda Smoley. The first month was hard for the small staff because they felt they could not do the job the '79 staff had done. "It was important to us to keep the award winning tradition," said editor Larry Kisby '80. But spirits rose when the first couple of issues looked great to the staff and took many compliments from readers. "I was surprised by the compliments, espe·- cially those we got in a critique from Creighton judges, because almost everybody on the staff, including myself, was so new to the paper," said layout editor Kristi Banks '81. But disappointment set in again when typesetting costs and late nights for instructor Jim Lee, who printed the four page insert, forced the staff to cut the paper from 12 to 10 pages. Kisby admitted he was so disappointed that he ternporarily wanted to quit the staff and graduate midterm. But recruiting members was the biggest problem the staff faced. Prospective staffers were frightened by the hard work. "Newspaper doesn't have the image of being an easy class," said sports editor Carol Knight '81. But the small staff felt rewarded for their work when they were selected by UNO professors and the Sun Newspaper, as the best high school newspaper in the Metro area. "When it was announced, we looked at each. other with our mouths wide open. Then we started to laugh," said assistant editor Connie Sutherland '80. The staff also won a total of 24 awards from Northwest Missouri State University (NWMSU), Iowa High School Press Association and UNO, in addition to an All-American for first semester and two National Gold Key Awards. Working hard also paid off for the yearbook staff. The '79 book took first in state competition, and copy and layouts for the '80 book took second at NWMSU's J-Day, winning seven individual awards. "I was really excited about Picked as Runner-Up Photographer of the Year, Lynn Hakenson receives his plaque from adviser Linda Smoley at the journali m awards banquet at Cascio's. (LEFT) The serenity of Midlands College surwinning," said editor Teresa Ronnfeldt '80, "even though we were second." Because the '80 staff wanted to give a bigger and more creative book to their readers, editors Ronnfeldt, Dana Chapman and Kathy Embry spent night after night at adviser Linda Smoley's house making plans in the fall. During deadline week, many staffers spent ten hours, including classtime, trying to complete their spread before that Friday night deadline. " I feel satisfied when I turn in a completed spread on time. The time and effort are worth it," said staffer Jennifer Kinney '81. Staffers often looked forward to staying late one Friday night a month. Even though they complained, they enjoyed talking and joking with other staffers while they worked. " Everybody helps each other out and there's a lot of friendship between us. We all have a common purpose: to get the deadline done," said Joanne Petersen '81 . So as late night drivers passed by AL, they often saw a lone light in the far upper corner of the building before yearbook and newspaper staffers finally called it a night.

The little eggheads were crepted by Marcie Hodge '81, in a jesting response to an article saying all debaters are "eggheaded weirdos." Because Coach Marsha Grandick had been in debate the longest, she received an enlarged styrofoam egghead. Although debaters shared relaxing moments, they worked hard. During the summer four girls went to a workshop at Creighton. "The work was hard, but we learned a lot about debating," said Margaret Lougee '81. c To prepare for the long season from October to March, debaters began intensive research as soon as school started on the topic U.S. Foreign Trade. Debate had a good season. Competing against 20 to 30 teams, JV debaters won first place trophies at the Mercy and Papillion tournaments, and a fou;,th place in championship varsity. " When I first began coaching debate, people at tournaments. wondered if AL had a team," said Grandick. "Now we've started to build a reputation as a tough Relaxing on their lunch break, Thespians John Burke, Brad M iles, Jim Bolas, Patty M usgrove, D an Brown, Kerry Mortensen, Connie Sutherland and Larry Kisby joke around in the aud itorium . (ABOVE) 132 debate, speech, thespians team. We manage to get at least a ribbon at tournaments." While debaters competed, speech students practiced. At home and in class, they memorized, gesticulated and strived for the right pause and pitch. They tackled oratory, expository address, interpretation, radio news and extemporaneous. Students tried out in January for the March 31 districts. Those who were successful spent six hours writing their speeches. Students then spent a minimum of one week practicing with Grandick for 20 to 30 minutes. They were then responsible to practice on their own until districts. "It's ironic you spend so much time worrying and practicing for something that lasts only a few minutes," said Tasha Kachulis '81 . But the work got results. At districts, 17 students took 1 ratings, the highest given. Five of those students went on to take 1 ratings at the state speech contest. "I was happy and relieved with the rating," said Laura Livengood '82. Though Thespians were active, disappointments hindered them . Starting the year with many hopes and ideas, they first travelled to the Firehouse Dinner Theater. "It was interesting to potential Gestures add that extra interest. Instructor M arsha Grandick shows Laura Livengood how to improve her speech for state contest. Livengood received a I rating. (RIGHT) Thespians because they hadn't seen a live performance before," said Penny Poffenbarger '81 . But activities soon began to diminish for lack of money. The group sponsored the movie "Psycho," but because of a low turn-out, they made only $15. Then several members lost interest in the group when they wanted to put on a Christmas play in another attempt to raise money. But because director Pat Dontchos could not work supervision of rehearsals into her schedule, the administration would not allow the production, contending that school activities must have official sponsors. "It was a let down because for the first tim e in two years, Thespians were really fired up, and then it was thrown back into our faces," said Kerry Mortensen '81. But Thespians didn't let disappointments destroy their friendships. Sometimes, to escape the rigors of the day, a few of them would congregate in the auditorium. "We'd go in during lunch and just fool around. We'd talk and tell stories. It was pretty entertaining," said Dan Brown '81. Hard work, frustrations, triumphs and trophies characterized the busy year for debaters, speech students, and Th espians. Sure that the evidence is there somewhere, debate students Margaret Lougee, Tasha Ka chulis, Laura Meyer, and Mary Harrison work on th e topic U.S. Foreign Trade.

In 1980 alone, clubs accumulated over $6500 in community advertising money. "Will purchasing an ad help me gain business?" was a question asked by businessmen. Traditionally, those who purchased yearbook ads felt they had made donations. This year, however, staffers were taught to explain yearbook advertising and to point out that the 1980 book would have ads dispersed throughout the sections. "The lessons we got on selling made us more convincing when we sold ads," said Joanne Petersen '81. On the other hand, Echoes editor Larry Kisby '80, felt his advertisers bought because of exposure. "Big Cheese and · Godfather's had ads in every issue, each offering coupons. Many people I know cut them out and used them," he said. Organizations such as choir and basketball also profitted from businesses who filled their programs. A typical format wished "good luck" to the group on an eighth of a page. Hy Vee, the biggest buyer, spent $320 on ads for swing choir, basketball, and the yearbook. Without this kind of support, many organizations would have come up short. .

A 511-page curriculum guide is food for thought for teachers Don Scheibeler and Don Whyte at an English meeting. (ABOVE) Choosing the quiet of the library over their morning study hall, Chris Heiman, Allan Rouse, Kevin Hawkins and Jeff Hutchison prepare for the day's work. (TOP) 148 unifi ed curriculum and .. . ''H test." ey! John! What did you do in English today? We had a really rough "English? Test? That's a joke! We never do anything in there." The trouble was that too many Johns had been doing too little, and were graduating unable to perform academically at twelfth grade level. But last fall, two steps were taken to prevent any more Johns from leaving the Council Bluffs school system. First, mandated by the school board, a new unified elementary, junior high and senior high curriculum went into effect. Secondly, senior high teachers voted five to one to suggest to the board that three graduation credits be added to each school's total requirements. The curriculum covered social studies, reading, English, science and music. It insured consistency by establishing the skills a student must learn in each grade, regardless of the school. On the high school level, according to Principal Robert Capel, curriculum was basically the same, but checkpoints were added for teachers. Teachers had to keep folders of each students' assignments and chart student progress. Theoretically, by the end of the course, each student would have learned the material on the checklist. If a student couldn't master the material and outside assistance didn't help, the student had to retake the course. The plan to raise requirements at both high schools was developed by a joint committee of AL-TJ teachers. They suggested raising requirements from 33 to 36 credits and requiring one semester each of math and science instead of one semester of either. Both the unified curriculum and the suggestion to raise requirements were met with varied reactions. One complaint about the curriculum concerned the amount of paper work for teachers, who were accountable for the more detailed records. "Teachers spend so much time on paperwork, they don't have time to teach," said one high school teacher. Another complaint was that some goals were too basic for secondary schools. "The curriculum doesn't speak to high school students," another teacher said. But Superintendent Raj Chopra said O~e more paper to be rewritten. Kathy Black receives a paragraph filled with corrections and instructions .from English teacher Linda Smoley. (LEFT) "What's the answer to this question?" Dennis Rief seems to wonder during an English test on literature terms. (FAR LEFT) the administration hoped to have these problems solved soon. Teachers met to analyze the problems of the guides, and discuss revisions. "It's not finished," said Raymond Newberg, curriculum director. "In three years it will be." Reactions to the possibility of raised requirements were also mixed. "Standards should be increased because it is too easy to slide through the entire three years on Mickey Mouse courses," said Patty Thorn '80. But many students disagreed. "I don't think they should raise the credits. We'll just have to stay in school longer and won't be able to graduate mid-term," said Boris Baer '81. Whatever the reaction to them, these changes were made to improve educational standards in Council Bluffs.

(CENTER) 150 drama and art L et your mind take you into a fantasy world where a statu e may become a kitchen utensil and ordinary girls imagine themselves to be Marie Antoinette. All that is required is a strong desire to create so m ething new. Such desires were evident as art class enrollment increased by 30 percent. More students were given the opportunity to get involved when year-long art classes made up of two week units were replaced by nine semester classes with only drawing and ceramics required. The new courses allowed students to study in depth the areas most interesting to them. Teachers felt it was important for students to be able to create something with their own hands. "People have a need to create. It expresses what is in your soul and gives you a reason to live," said Miriam Boyd, art instructor. Students echoed Boyd's love of art. "I think it's fun to create unusual things. But I've also made cards or painted pictures and sold them to friends or businesses tci earn some extra money," said Cory Peters '81. With a new director and ideas, the Drama Department also took a different turn. Director Patricia Dontchos helped build beginners' love of acting right from the start rather than having students learn techniques first and wait to use them much later. "I think the best way to learn· how to act is to just get up there and do it. You'll develop your own style and techniques with practice," Dontchos said. With that philosophy, Dontchos required Drama 1-2 students to prepare contest material, a first for AL, and had Drama 3-4 work on readers' theater, in which three different characters were portrayed by one student without props or costumes. "It's just 'bone-dry' acting, great for learning to develop characters," said Kerry Mortensen '80, Drama 3-4 student. People involved in drama thoroughly enjoyed what they were doing. " Performing is in my blood," said Cheri Parramore '80. "I think it's as much a part of me as eating and sleeping. I love it!" The fine arts, in whatever form, tended to bring out the inner being of students, which they often found hard to express any other way. 11 Art is a form of expression," said Julie Ozaydin '80. "It does not necessarily have to be beautiful, it just has to say something to people." Enlarging her sketch, Julie Ozaydin works on a painting requiring nearl y 20 hours to complete.

From the front, an omnipotent voice echoes "T-sesenta y uno." Giggling, and hoping the voice said "sixty-one" and not "seventy-one," a girl calls out "Loteria!" the Spanish counterpart for bingo. Teachers used games in several classes. While math students tried to outwit computers in games such as "Star Trek" and "Sink the Sub," American Studies students received a new name, personality, and life in "Immigrant Experience." Each student was given the name and personal information of an immigrant. Then he had to be interrogated to become an American citizen. Monopoly and bingo were played with odd twists in shorthand, debate, Spanish and German classes. Debate students battled the bingo board in "Brief-o," which forced students to match terms and definitions. Why did teachers use valuable class time playing games? According to teachers and students, the games helped strengthen skills previously learned in class. "Playing monoopoly in German helps us learn the language and reinforces what we've already done," said Denise Wooten '81. "When my students play them correctly, the games use vocabulary and grammar we've learned," Spanish instructor Tomas Lara said. Self-confidence was a by-product of some games. "It makes me feel good to be able to answer questions in front of everybody in my shorthand class," Wanda Wright '81, said. The games also encouraged homework completion and improvement. In Spanish and computer math classes, for example, games couldn't be played until weekly assignments were completed. In typing classes, prizes were given to improved typists. "I felt really excited when I won a pennant in typing because it was the best I'd ever done," said Jackie Gioiello '81. But best of all, the games broke the monotony of sometimes boring classes. "The games are a special treat. They give me something to look forward to," said Vicki Lemm '82. Teachers also looked forward to an occasional break. "I enjoy the games immensely; they're a nice break. In fact, sometimes I play too much!" said computer math instructor Timothy Alkire. "What was that term? We learned it just yesterday," seems to be Julie Edwards' thought as she plays Brief-o in debate. Making Spanish words with an merican game Tracy Brummer, Stacey Kisby and Beth Bennet play scrable.

Sounds of "Hey, watch your lan - guage, there's a lady present!" meet your ears as you enter the door. Eighteen students found themselves in such si tuations when they enrolled in classes traditionally geared to students of the opposite sex. These classes included drafting, basic woods, and electronics for girls and advanced cooking or sewing for guys. The majority of students taking these classes hoped to use the skills learned for careers. Students dream ed of becoming elec trical engineers, chefs, fashion des igners and architects. One girl wanted to des ign and fly airplanes. " Right now it's more of a hobby. I'll draw up plans for airplanes and either keep the plans for later reference or give them to my brother, who uses them to build his own model airplanes," said Colleen Hanafan '82, who has been in drafting classes since junior high. Fun and variety were other reasons for taking the courses. For many, it was the first time they had come in contact with a completely foreign subject. "When I started in basic woods, I was really scared. We were expected to work with tools I had never even seen before," said Kathy McKinley '81. Most students, however, found that they soon became comfortable with the class and had a lot of fun. "Being in an all male class has given me an insight on guys. When there are no other girls around, you learn to communicate with a guy on his level," said Melinda Perry '81, who felt taking elec- "I wonder where thi one goes?" M elinda Perry tries to trace a signal with what most would consider a tangled mass of wires. (LEFT) tronics was not only educational but a way of learning to get along with others. Overall, the students' attitudes were positive. " I'd recommend this class to anyone. It's been a lot of fun and I've learned something too," said Mike Godfrey '80, now in his second year of cooking. Teachers, too, enjoyed having an occasional girl or guy in their classes. " Surprisingly enough, girls are often my best students. They are more seriou s about their classes and tend to put in more time and effort," said Vonnie Tangeman, drafting instructor. As we moved into·the 1980's, students gradually left the traditional male-female roles and sought to develop their talents regardless of gender. After three years of sewing classes, Mike Martin measures each part of the pattern before he sews. Martin said that if he married a wife who couldn't sew, he wanted to be able to get th e job done.

You have to pay for the things in this store!" yelled Diane Richardson '80, as she hurried to catch the little boy trying to sneak some candy from the Jim and Dean's store. Stopping a shoplifter was only one of many situations in which 92 students applied on the job what they had learned in DE (Distributive Education), T & I (Trade and Industries) and Food Careers classes. They also learned how to communicate with customers, relate to fellow workers and improve methods of sanitation. Students named varying reasons for taking these classes. Bob McCart, who worked from noon until 6 p.m. five days a week at Bob's Auto service wanted to make auto mechanics his life's work and hoped to someday be the owner. For others the program was an escape-a way to get out of classes and leave school early. "I wanted to graduate early, and the DE program was the easiest way to get a lot of credits fast," said LuAnn Dermody '80. Teachers tried hard, however, to make the classes meaningful. Evaluations were sent to employers, who graded students on attitudes, promptness, appropriate attire, and other areas. This information was then related to students so they could improve their skills on the job. These classes required that students work a minimum of 15 hours a week. However, most students worked an average of 20 to 25 hours with 10 percent working as many as 40 hours weekly. All of them earned at least minimum wage, "Will that be all?" Connie Johnson makes sure her customer is satisfied before ringing up the final total at Johnson's Pharmacy. (LEFT) and some brought in $6.50 an hour. During the 1978-79 year Coop work students earned a total of $108,000. Teachers felt classes were successful, showing that 65 percent of the students stayed with the job they had studied and 85 percent went into a related field. Most students felt the Coop classes equipped them to face the working world. "All I have to do is tell the employer that I graduated from A.L. and got my printing training at T.J. and I could get a job anywhere in the U.S." said Sam Mohr '80, who worked as an offset pressman. "Most importantly, students learned responsibility on the job, which then carried over into classes, school and many other areas of their lives," said Frank Diblasi, T&I instructor.

The library had everything from reference books, including four new sets of encyclopedias, to audio tapes. The media center boasted materials to make just about everything, including laminated posters and videotapes. Students could also check out equipment, such as tape recorders and magic markers. During the 1979-80 school year alone, over $20 per student was spent for resource equipment. Many more students used the school's resources than ever before. According to "May I help you?" Susan Mass helps Todd M ann check out "Sports Illustrated" while D ebbie Hyde waits her turn in the library. (ABOVE) a media center study, student use of the equipment had increased by almost 25 percent since 1977. Library use had also increased. Librarian Dorothy Button reported that about 100 classes per month used the library, and with strong encouragement, individual student use was on the rise. As John Cairns, media instructor, said, "I'd rather see the materials used than sitting on the shelf looking new." Yet many students still remained ignorant about the resources available to them. A random survey of 120 students showed that only 28 percent knew about most of the center's resources, while almost 46 percent knew about only a few resources . Only 37 percent used more than a few of the materials available. "I haven't been in the library or media cenLetters for a laminated poster are cut by Mike Rowe in seventh hour media class. (ABOVE LEFT) ter all year," said one student. Reasons for "media apathy" varied. According to several students, teachers in the resource center were often too busy to help them find what they needed. Many admitted they didn't have the knowledge to use the library on their own. "I very seldom use the library, but when I do, I generally have problems finding what I want," said Sharon Young '82. Students also used resources from the public library or other places, such as the UNO library. While some students didn't get past the resource center's doors, others used the materials to their fullest, creating the many carefully made posters scattered throughout the building, and crowding to the library for research classes.

Dissecting little animals to prepare for studying the human body was only one way students related science to adult life. The probability of a child having brown eyes or blond hair was determined by biology students in a genetics unit. "It was neat. I could figure out what my kids might look like," said Lori Jankiewicz '81. Chemistry students prepared for later life by taking responsibility for their own learning. Instead of having a teacher standing over them making sure daily assignments were completed, Chemistry 1-2 students were responsible to get three units finished on their own each quarter. "I've learned a lot about chemistry, but most of all, I've learned to pace myself," said Sara Cass '81. During the last quarter, advanced chemistry students had to complete individual projects. Marsha Massih '80, chose to deal with nutrient deficiences in plants. After growing each plant in a solution lacking a different nutrient, she observed how the plants differed. "Besides helping me learn about plants, I think my project helped me because I had to do all the planning and research for it by myself," said Massih. The importance of the future was stressed in science, whether students were handling responsibility or a frog. "I beg your pardon, I never prom1sea you a ros~ garden."

But all this took place in room 204, where Marsha Grandick's speech classes held a mock convention with students playing roles of political figures. "Being chairman was a lot of work, and yet it didn't seem like work because I enjoyed what I was doing," said Melinda Perry '81. "It made me realize how much power the President has and yet how responsible the American people are for what happens to our country." Social Studies teachers used role play- ing to help students understand other people, times and cultures. In the American Studies rooms, students gave news reports for radio broadcasts, and girls modeled 1920's styles of the time and did the Charleston. Other American Studies students became immigrants. They were given minimal information on a person in another country and required to write a story telling that person's history. "While we were in class, we became the person we wrote about," said Kathy Black '82, who played the role of Hilda Brunstedt, a 19- year-old German girl. "I wanted to start a new life and have a good life for my children. I wanted to be somebody important, and being in America gave me that opportunity," wrote Kathy in an essay telling Hilda's ForTashai After researching the issues, M ary Beth Clark, Mindy Briggs, Tasha Kachulis, Ann Ericsson, John Madsen and,Bill Lewis decide what stand to take in the Presidential debates that took place in all speech classes.

While sophomores delved into the past, juniors and seniors prepared for the future in Marriage and Family class. A couple was engaged and then had to plan the wedding, get married, work out a budget, rent or buy a house and prepare for their future lives together. When they were ready to have a child, they were given an egg which had to be cared for at all times and returned intact at the end of the semester. "It makes you think realistically about the future and marriage," said Mindi Allen '80. In classrooms all around the school students had fun learning by playing the roles of many different people. "Isn't he precious?" Michelle Arterburn and Mindi Allen admire an egg that represents Michelle's child in Marriage and Family class.

M any field trips such as thi s helped students gain first-hand experi ence, and escape the drudgery of everyday schoolwork. The Ballet Folklorico at the Orpheum gave Spanish students a chance to see Hispanic histo ry acted out in dance. "The dancers' costumes were just gorgeous," said Julia Montgomery '81. French students could sing along at a co ncert at Boystown featuring th e French Canadian group, Suroit. "The group w as good, and even though I could understand only a fraction of the actual French, I got a chance to experience some of their culture," said Cory Peters '8'1. Speech students saw the behind-thescenes actio n of radio and television statio ns after a broadcasting unit. They met KMTV's Jo ni Ballion and watched the taping of two shows. "Meeting people we had seen on TV, or heard on the radio brought the who le industry closer," said Eric King '81. A trip to Saint Paul's Greek Orthodox Church was a highlight for World Religions and Humanities students, who learned the meaning of the church's religious paintings and its traditions. " Going to a different church with the World Religions Class helped me understand my own religion and that of my friends better," said Bobby Struthers '80. But a field trip didn't have to take students far away or last all day. Botany students combed the cross country trail for plants such as honeysuckle and common weeds, w hich were examined later and put in a book as an assignment. " Looking outside for different plants really opened my eyes," said Alisha Jacobsen '82. "You can't learn everything from a book."

"After seeing the people in the movie lying all over the ground, and hearing about it first-hand, I thought twice about driving safely and wearing a seat belt," said Don Buehler '82. Throughout the year, guest speakers shared their experiences to help students apply class material to real life. In sociology classes, Ira Combs talked about child abuse and his work with children at the Jeremiah Home. Social worker Virginia Gross also discussed the effects of child abuse, speaking about victims such as the girl she had just rushed to the hospital. The child had been left out in below-freezing temperatures without adequate clothing, and had almost frozen to death. "I never realized that people really could do those things to their own kids," said Lori Johnson '81. Students in journalism interviewed newscaster Marcia Ladendorff, who spoke of the role of women in journalism and stressed the importance of writing ability in any career. "She talked so openly, I think she could help anyone, even if they weren't going into journalism," said Debbie Knudsen '82. But not all guests came to speak. Some demonstrated skills and worked with students. Professional Rick Shoppe showed amateur mimists in drama classes how to improve style. " It was helpful to see a professional demonstrate his technique," said Lori Jankiewicz '81 . To help square dancers in P.E. classes, a group of students from the Guns 'n' Garters Square Dancing Club demonstrated their skills. "I liked the exhibition because the kids were good, and some of our students got to dance with them," said Pam Acklie '80. Reasons for inviting guest speakers were diverse. "They add variety to the class, and people in the real world give current and applicable information a teacher can't," said drivers education instructor Thomas Stull. Most students agreed that the speakers were educational, but most of all, they provided a break in usual classtime activities.

(RIGHT) • I n a small room behind the library, a young blind man and his golden retriever Alf, would listen quietly as a student read aloud, carefully pronouncing each syllable. Blind since birth and new to Al's Special Education Department in 1980, Dan Marshall was acutely aware of the hard work needed to overcome a handicap. But all special education teachers helped students compensate for their disabilities and develop their talents. "Each individual is different, and we want to give each the best chance possible to lead a successful life," said Wilda Briggs, Individual Progress instructor. The programs were reality based, so students were taught 'survival' skills-basic knowledge needed to be well equipped to face the world. Before a child was admitted to a program, parents, teachers, counselors and a psychologist were consulted and dozens of forms and questionnaires were filled out to be sent to the government, according to Lucile Hoffman, counselor for special education students. When first attending learning disabilities classes, some students tended to feel a bit uncomfortable, but once inside, according to Sherry Harvey, Skill Development instructor, they discovered they weren't the only ones in school who had difficulty with some of their classes. "This class has made me much more sure of myself when I'm reading, speaking or doing anything which involves words," said Todd Mann '80. In the Individual Progress classes, students learned such things as balancing a budget, cooking a meal and filling out a job application or an income tax form . Classes were small and teaching was done on a one-to-one basis, allowing more personal education. "I know most of my students' parents and have been in many of their homes. These kids have become my friends and I enjoy that closeness," said Carol Tiller, special education teacher. Together this closel y knit group worked towards raising $1500 to go to Worlds of Fun and a Royals baseball game by selling five kinds of stuffed animals and ball point pens. "The one lesson learned from these programs is the human worth and dignity of each individual," said Hoffman.

To the right, a curved white counter signaled an open office without walls or doors. To the left, the open library looked roomy and comfortable, decorated with an old stone entry from the original Kirn. Students who had shared a crowded and tired Wilson for three years found their new classrooms roomy and bright. Walls coordinated with the bright reds, greens, blues, and warm browns that were used on chairbacks and mini decorator blinds. Even the bathrooms showed students the decorator touch-pink for girls, and blue for boys. There were extra facilities galore. In the lecture hall, which seated 300 people, the orange floor-to-ceiling Kl RN sign contrasted with a bright blue carpet. Students found an athletic complex that included an Olympic size pool, wrestling area, gymnasium, and a cafeteria-gym combination. In general, visitors, teachers, and students concluded that the building was well worth its $7,000,-000 price tag. A Word to the Wise Take Care of Your Eyes .,,,, 1111 IPlllll Ill~ , 220 E.

L 1the mo\'e A s the alarm clock rang at 7 a.m. on Sept. 4, many bleary-eyed, soon-to-be sophomores crawled out of bed and into their clothes, preparing for their first full school day since seventh grade. Because many sophomores attended Kirn on a split shift from noon to 5 p.m. for three years, apprehension prevailed among AL teachers. They doubted whether the students had the background and ability to take on a full day of school. But the sophomores surprised them. "My sophomores are doing as well as ever," said Anina Madsen, math instructor. "I only failed one in the first quarter, when I usually fail four or five." Many sophomores attributed their willingness to learn at AL to the split shift situation at Kirn. "I had to do most of my studying at home in order to learn anything," said Mary Jerkovich '82. Lisa Butterbaugh '82, agreed, saying, "It's a habit to study at home now because I always had to at Kirn." Even though the split shift may have improved some study habits, students also found disadvantages in it. "After sleeping until 11 a.m. everyday for three years, I had a difficult time getting up so early in the morning this year," said Jean Crawley '82. But many didn't mind the earlier hours since they were back to a more relaxed schedul e. "I r eally like AL b ecause I don't get in trouble for hanging around in the h all s; stud ents have more fre edom here," said Larry Scott '82. Lucile Hoffman, guidance counselor, who had talk ed to over 100 sophomores, said, "I have yet to hear a sophomore say that he doesn't like AL; they love it."

" It's going to be close!" shouted one. When the race was over, the kids crowded around, begging for their turn to take a ride. Neighborhood streets were turned into such drag strips when sophomores "got crazy," after they saved, scrimped, or nagged their parents to buy them a moped. According to about 200 sophomores surveyed, almost 25 percent of them owned mopeds. " They're just fun to get crazy on," said one sophomore. But many students learned that the good times weren't worth the high initial cost of $400 to $600. " After a w hile, they get boring," said Lisa Butterbaugh '82. Students felt having a friend to ride with made the fun last a little longer. "We'd set up obstacle courses of garbage cans and run through them," said Cory Peters '81. Although many owners were pleased with the excellent gas mileage of 90 miles per gallon, only 5 percent of the owners used their mopeds for practical purposes such as going to school and work. "I'd rather ride my moped to school than walk," said Roy Wood '82. Students cited poor mechanical quality, such as frequent engine fai lure and slow dealer service, as major complaints about their new vehicles. "They're a piece of junk," said one dissatisfied owner. "I'll never buy another one." Owners weren't the only ones displeased with mopeds. "They go too slowly and obstruct traffic," said John Miner '81. "I hate them." Yet, all fall and spring, the bike rack remained full of the powerless little two wheelers that crept along in front of impatient motorists at speeds of 30 miles per hour.

Add recruiters distributing pamphlets and parents meeting teachers. This formula for Al's Open House attracted over 750 people, as compared to 480 to 500 in past years. At two chemistry magic shows, audiences marvelled while a clear liquid changed to a bright orange, then a jet black-all within a few seconds. They clung to their seats while flames leaped from a Folger's coffee can. But parents didn't attend only to view demonstrations. "I went to see teachers so I'd have a picture of who my son talks about ," said Sandy Brokman, mother of David Brokman '82. "I was looking forward to meeting Arlan Johnson because I've heard he's tough." But Brokman said tough teachers gave students incentive. "When my kids graduate, I want to know they can read and write," she said. Another parent, Mrs. Carmen Kinney, mot~er of Jennifer Kinney '81 , told one teacher, "I don 't see how kids cope when they're so involved." But although she saw little of her daughter, Kinney said she thought the involvement was great. Many teachers said they were refreshed by the parents. "I enjoyed the Open House, because parents had such great attitudes," said Peggy Rodriquez. Principal Bob Capel agreed when he remarked to a teacher, "Isn't this great? Everyone was smiling."

The next morning students looked in disbelief as they saw what vandals had done, but they were even more shocked at the price tag of nearly $2,000 for repairs. "I thought it was ridiculous and absurd," said Scott Moroney '81. But this was just one of many incidents of vandalism which cost Council Bluffs schools over $10,000 in one year. In 1979 the school board created a fund which provided $1 per student to cover each school's vandalism. Although AL spent more than its allotted amount the first year, officials said vandalism decreased somewhat in 1980. Black heel marks on walls, floors and lockers were the major p(oblems at AL, reported Carl Frascht, night supervisor. An eight-person crew usually spent 40 hours a week cleaning up such marks.

" For a school of its size, I don't th ink it's that bad," said Frascht. But vandalism remained a major problem in the city. Averaging four reported cases a night, crimes ranged from egging houses and slashing tires to burning buildings and breaking glass. According to a random survey of 50 AL students, 68 percent of those surveyed answered yes to the question, " Have you ever vandalized?" Twenty percent of those answering yes, cited revenge as a reason, but nearly 40 percent said boredom and excess time caused vandalism. "The main reason, in my opinion, is that there isn't anything to do in this town," said Annette Collins '81. Many students agreed, saying that if there were more for kids to do, they would spend less time being destructive. Although not a major problem at AL, th e results of vandalism were evident everywhere.

CAUTION: Sophs ' on the road \ A lmost every new 16-year-old spent part of his birthday or the day after at the National Guard Armory. There he obtained his freedom to drive. "After years of parents running me everywhere, I was independent-it was great," said Sandi Potter '82. The price to pay for that treasured license was a semester of Drivers Education. Almost every sophomore signed up for the hard work, nervousness, blood and guts movies, and "joy rides." Of all the courses at AL, Drivers Ed. was considered one of the most important. " If you don't take the class seriously, you won't drive,'' said Jackie Johnson '82. If students made it through Drivers Ed., all they had to do to get their license was turn "Sweet Sixteen," present their certificate of Drivers Ed., take an eye test, and pay $5. On their first outing alone, most students took it easy. "I just drove around. It was peaceful to drive alone," said Laura Livengood '82. But a few went a little berserk. "I went to a parking lot and cut cookies in the snow," said Steve Ashley '82. After a few weeks, however, students noticed some disadvantages to their new found freedom. "Gas costs an arm and a leg," said Beth Allerton '82. Sophs also complained about "taxi" services they had to run. "I got my license and everyone needed a ride somewhere," said Debbie Auen '82. But overall, students felt their freedom was worth the hassles. Hitting the road, Amy Ferguson is watched closely as she embarks during Drivers Ed.

They were the cliques. Many juniors said their class was the "cliquiest" in school. "There are a lot of cliques in our class and just about· any junior will admit it," said one girl. But most students weren't annoyed about the r:nany small groups they saw sticking together. They felt that wanting to be around people with similar interests was natural. "People have the right to do things with whom they want, and to stay away from people they don't like," said Roger Williams '80. The tendency to associate with those who shared interests was obvious. A group of basketball players in threepiece suits stood in the lounge between classes, several drama students collected in the auditorium during lunch, and newspaper staffers barricaded themselves in the back room of 224. These were only a few of the small clusters found within the school. Although most juniors understood students' inclinations to form small groups, some resented the attitudes of certain cliques. "Too many people who hang around with a certain group think their group is the greatest, and everyone else is jealous!" said one junior girl. Others felt that staying too close to one clique was restrictiv e. "Cliques are bad only when you're so wrapped up with one group that you don't get a chance to meet someone new," said Chris Kelley '81. Despite the complaining, students continued to gravitate toward people they enjoyed and felt comfortable with. "The be st part of my day is when I can just hang around with m y ga ng," said one girl.

The student body jeers at him as he follows behind you in his pink sweat pants. It seems like a dream come true, and for Dan Wohlers '80, and Kurt Jones '80-it was. This scene was only one part of the activities on Slave Day, Dec. 7. Nancy Rogic, Junior Class president, created and spearheaded the day to raise money for Prom. " When we first talked about it, we planned to make around $50, but as it now stands, we're well over $250, including a $100 bid for Tracy Brummer '81 , by Eldon Maness '81 ," said Rogic. This $100 bid was not accepted in haste, according to Assistant Principal Don Moxley. "In fact," Moxley said, "I talked to Eldon for over an hour and told him he could take back all, or part, of his bid if he wanted to, but he said it was going to a good cause." Despite the price he paid for Brummer, Maness proved to be a lenient master. "I'm a $100 slave and he won't even let me carry his books," said Brummer. But many slaves had to do unusual and embarrassing chores for their masters. Wanda Wright '81, was enslaved to David Wood '81 . "I even had to feed my ll y Caughey Bryan Caviness Dana Christensen Rhonda Christensen Mary Beth Clark Kelli Clayton Pam Clevenger Rick Cochran Annette Collins Karen Collins Louise Collins Vickie Corum Barb Cox Julie Cox Kevin Crouse Rock Cundiff Sheila Danker M ichelle Davis Beth Denny Bill Derby Dennis Devine Sandra DeW itt Tom DiGiacomo Todd Dinges 188 juniors-slave day master at lunch," said Wright. Many masters thought Slave Day was a good way to embarrass their slaves. "I wouldn't let my slave do any socializing in the halls," said Kelli Stevens '81, master of Denise Wooten '81. But slaves did not consist only of juniors; a few teachers sacrificed their free periods to be auctioned off. Instructor Don Scheibeler, for example, was bid on by Jones and Wohlers. But at the closing minutes of the sale, Lynn Hakenson '81, purchased Scheibeler with a higher bid. But sympathizing with their loss, Hakenson loaned his slave to Jones and Wohlers so they could make a fool of Scheibeler at a basketball pep assembly. As one of Al's first tries at a moneymaking project that was out of the ordinary, Slave Day achieved widespread popularity. As instructor Mary Gepner said, "The Slave Day was a pretty good idea because I think the kids have eaten all the fund raising candy they can." It was a crazy day for many students. "How much money is she worth?" wonders Mark Wi chman as he purchases a slave from Carol Knight; John Burke enjoys his privileges as Carmen Eggers' master; and Kurt Jones and Dan W ohlers enjoy parading their " loaner" slave, instructor Don Scheibeler, around the gym during a pep assembly. window1 Mark Dix Richard Donaldson Brenda Dorsett Tim Draper Julie Drennen Debbie Dunlavy Tracy Dunsdon John Dygert Julie Edwards Carmen Eggers Jeff Epperson Rick Farmer Linda Farrell Lori Farrell Mark Fay Patty Feeki n Mindy Feller Jim Felton Chana Fergin Valerie Fischer Tony Fleming Cindy Flenker James Floyd Cindy Fowler Donna Fritz Kim Funkhouser Kris Gaddy David Gaffney Jim Gardner Mark Gardner Debbie Gibson Kevin Giles Andy Gilmore Jackie Gioiello Rew Goodenow Theresa Grant Jeff Griffith John Guinan Carrie Haines Lynn Hakenson Scott Hall Wendy Hall Penny Hallagan Joe Hansen Paula Hansen Mary Ann Hanusa Mary Harding Lisa Hardisty juniors-slave day 189 Chris Harriman Marty Haug Tracy Heater Amy Hemmingsen Doug Hendrix Jim Hensley Sherri Herman Dana Herren Dan Herrington Randy Hiatt Nancy Hibbard Joanne Hiller Tod Hilton M arcie Hodge Dayleen Hoeck Patty Holeton Paul Hollinger Dale Hopkins Beth Howell M ike Hunter Dianna Hytrek Shelley Ingram Lori Irwin David James Lori Jankiewicz Lori Jerome Arlene Johnson Jennifer Johnson Linda Johnson Lori Johnson M ike Johnson Cheri Jones Chris Jones Tasha Kachulis Jeff Kalstrup Lisa Kast Karla Katzenstein 190 juniors-excuses That's what 1 they always say 11.0 kay class, everyone hand in your assignments." As the class shuffles and digs for papers, one boy shyly raises his hand. "Yes, Billy, what is it now?" "Mrs. English, I, ugh, don't have my assignment. The dog ate it." "He did what?" exclaims a now irate Mrs. English. "Yes, ma'am. He ate the whole thing." According to many teachers, paper eating dogs and siblings were two of the more exotic excuses given when students didn't complete assignments. One student even claimed that his dog ate an entire gym suit. Instructors agreed that assignments being washed through the machine or run over by a car were a couple of the most common explanations. When it came to cheating on tests, one of the most original explanations was recounted by instructor Don Scheibeler, who caught a student using another student's test paper. The villain remarked, "You always tell us to do reference work." And instructor Mary Gepner heard a great excuse from a frequently tardy boy who offered this explanation one day: "I was coming to class when I heard someone in the student lounge talking about you, and I couldn't let anyone say anything bad about my favorite teacher." Many teachers agreed that some excuses were worthy of a good laugh. "Well, excu-u-se me!" exclaims Steve Kelsey to instructor Mary Gepner as she chides him for his latest escapade.

You've been on there for over an hour now." "Okay, Mom, but I'm right in the middle of telling Sue something." Such requests and retorts were common throughout student households. A random survey of 100 students showed that most spent over an hour a night on the phone. "My parents are always saying I'm tying up the lines," said Nancy Rogic '81 . Almost 75 percent of the students said they talked about homework. "When I'm on the phone, I usually have someone explain an assignment," said Beth Denny '81. Many also wanted to exchange the latest gossip. "I like discussing my dreary love life," said Marcia Christensen '82. Some kids had fun making prank calls. A caller often asked a victim if his refrigerator were running. If the victim replied "yes," the caller told him he had better go chase it. Almost 90 percent of the polled students called someone because they were bored. "I get into some of my best conversations when I call somebody for the heck of it," said Trisha Burkybile '81. But a few students found other worthwhile activities, and thus kept the lines open for ttieir parents. "I love reading, so I always have something to do besides talking," said Teresa Clark '81. While only 10 percent of the students polled had their own teen line, most homes were equipped with beepers to signal another call. "I think the beepers are great. At least we can get our calls while David has the phone growing out of his ear," said DeeAnn Tuttle, mother of David Tuttle '81 . Despite their parents' gentle nagging, teens continued to tie up lines-afterall, the phone offered the cheapest escape from boredom they had. Gettin' comfy.

Lockers were the heirs to such fate. For many students, lockers were used to vent frustration or anger caused by assignments, teachers, and peers. "I often find myself kicking m y locker because a friend made me mad," said Dawn R. Smith '82. Although lockers were often used to express digust and vent anxiety, they were also a form of artistic expression. It was common to walk through the halls and see a "Happy birthday" or "Merry Christmas" plastered on a locker door surrounded by balloons, tinsel, and streamers. "Decorating my locker for Christmas made school bearable because it reminded me that the holiday was· coming up," said Sheryl Thomas '81 . Along with decorations, lockers contained posters of celebrities ranging from Erik Estrada and Robert Redford to "Playboy's" Playmate of the Month. "I love to open my locker and see Nick Nolte staring back at me," said Cory Peters '81. Lockers also served a practical purpose as storage closets. To raise money, Carol Knight '81, and Sheila VanArsdol '81, collected returnable pop cans in the bottom of their locker. One locker was even used as a minicafeteria. Dan Nielsen '80, and Drew Ranney '8 0, k ept mun chies ranging from melted Baby Ruths to ice-cold cans of Pepsi. "We decided to keep a cooler and candy in our locker because the pop is so expensive in the student lounge, and we're tired of losing our money in the machines," said Nielsen. Althou gh the administration thou ght lockers were designed to hold books and coats, AL students obviously disagreed.

But as they grew up and the times changed, so did many career decisions. Fifty-one percent of 100 seniors polled said they had decided on a career. Replacing the popular choices of yesteryear like farming and homemaking, professions in chemistry, computer programming, and commercial art were high on seniors' lists of priorities. The growth of technology and inflation made teaching one of the most unpopular fields with seniors. But one student said she wanted to go into a new area of education that was sure to grow in the 80's. "I want to be a teacher of exceptional children to give the brighter kids a challenge since I never had such an opportunity," said Julie Button '80. According to Button, money had no influence on her decision. Thirty-two percent agreed with Button that money should not be the most important factor. "I'm more concerned about choosing a career I enjoy, rath er than choosing for the salary," said Tony Diblasi '80. Along with Diblasi, forty-four percent hadn't decid ed on an occupation. "With so many opportunities available, I hav e n 't had time to decide upon a career," said Salih lnankur '80. Even with the introdu ction of the new decade, many seniors still so u ght traditional careers in fields such as law enforcement, cosmetology, and clerical work. "Since somebody has to type and file, I mi ght as well because I'm qualified and I enjoy the work," said Lana Mass '80.

The banquet was a new addition to this year's Pride Week held May 5-9. Sitting at 130 tables, teachers ate chicken dinners, compliments of their students. Al's Student Council collected $190 for 70 teacher dinners. Eight speakers examined th e role teachers play. Matt Crowl, Student Council president spoke about the ideal teacher. "Only outstanding teachers take time to help their students grow," he said. Dr. Raj Chopra, superintendent of schools, said the purpose of the banquet was to recognize outstanding teachers. Although most teachers felt the purpose was good, many said the program was too long. "By the time I got out of the gym, I felt like I left part of my seat back on the chair," said one teacher. Although Chopra agreed that the four hour program was too long, he said the banquet was a great success. "Many schools have called me wanting to start their own Pride Week," he said. Teachers weren't the only ones involved in Pride Week. AL students joined in the fun with special days at school, such as Shorts, Sweats, and Shades Day. Students enjoyed these activities but questioned their significance. " I don't know what sweats had to do with pride, but anything bringing students together is good," said Connie Johnson '82. All over town, people got involved with Pride Week, sweeping streets, hanging flags, and making floats. The week ended with the parade of 200 entries and a lazy day of entertainment in Bayliss Park, which left many people thinking, " I'm proud of C.B."

It seemed to many that the same people were always on to p, always got what they set out for. They were those educational w hizzes. Little did most students know that these " brains" were human too. N o bionic w ires connected their brains to computers, and no superhuman parents gave them extra knowledge at the beginning; they were just ordinary redblooded kids with an inner drive to do · well d perhaps a little extra ability. Fourteen such students were ho nored as the top three percent of the Senior Class. Five of them even managed to maintain a 4.0 G.P.A. through the first semester of their senior year . . These students spent extra ho urs studying. "My study time varies each semester, but I always work hard to keep my A's," said Tom Sam uelson '80. When asked about their secret to success, most members of this o utstanding group shrugged their shoulders and replied, "I don't know." In fact, the onl y special study habits they adm itted to were locking themselves in the bathroom, or turning on the stereo-certainly nothing out of the ordinary. Despite the sometimes long study 200 seniors-honor students hours, most of these students were glad they made the effort. " I took pride in doing well, and I was glad to be hono red for my work," said Doug Pettepier '80, one of the straight-A senio rs.

" I thin k th e Iran cri sis w ill have a great effect o n o ur prestige, w hether or not the hostages are returned," said Connie Sutherland '80. While some seniors felt the situatio n w as detrimental to our national m o rale, others tho ught it created a dangero us econo mic threat. " Iran is o ur m os t serious problem because it affec ts the supply and price of oil, and this to uches everyone," said Bernie Duis '80. The sub ject of o il drew m any co m - ments. Seniors were concerned that o il imports would stop or pri ces skyroc ket. " The Iranian situation's effect o n gas prices is scary," said Tom Samuelson '80. As our ho pes for the hostages' release were dashed again and again, and as the Soviet Union surprised the world w ith its invasio n of Afghanistan, stud ents b egan to worry about our natio nal safety. Because most of them would b e eligible, seniors were especially wo rried about the possible reinstatem ent o f the draft and military action that could follow. " The M iddle East situatio n is very serious because it could lead to World W ar Ill," said Terry Cro mpto n '80. W ith so many outside forces threatening our w ay of life, m any senio rs looked apprehensively to the 80's.

Yet loneliness was an emotion nearly everyone experienced. Almost every classroom held a lonely person, perhaps sitting timidly in a corner, afraid to speak out in class. "I never answer any questions because I feel like everyone is always looking at me and criticizing me," said one senior girl. As tightly-knit groups of friend s walked briskly through the halls, laughing, chattering, and catching up on all the latest gossip, there was always someone who wanted so much to belong but just couldn't seem to break the ice. Solitary figures often walked the halls and sat in the cafeteria with only their thoughts and their lunches as co mpany. "When I go to lunch and can't find anyone to sit with, I feel rea lly lost and alone," said one junior girl. Even usually outgoing and exuberant people had to endure depress ing, lonely times. "Sometimes I feel as though evThinking things out, Kent Schupp walks on Bonham Avenue as a light spring dri zzle fall s.

Not being asked to Homecoming or Prom, spending yet another Saturday night babysitting, or seeing an exboyfriend going out with someone else, were all reasons for feeling alone, students said. "After I asked six guys to the Christmas Dance and ended up sitting around reading comic books while the couple I babysat for went to a pai;ty, I was ready to swear off people forever," said one junior girl. Sometimes people even wondered about their best friends. " It bugs me when one of my friends promises to do something with me, and then at the last minute goes out w ith her boyfriend or something," said Wanda Wright '81. Even the most popular people felt alone against the forces of depression at some time or another. "There are times - not too many though-w hen I really feel low," said Matt Crowl '80. " It's usually w hen I've got nothing to do except sit around and brood." Loneliness was a common ground for everyone. Sometimes solitude was welcomed, but almost e eryone experienced the loneliest feeling of standing by themselves in a crowd of people or spending a sol itary weekend alone when all their friends had other plans. seniors-loneliness 205 Lana Mass Sue Mass Ma rsha Massih Miche le Mauer Scott McCa lmo nt Robe rt McCart Trying to kick the school day F lowers bloomed, trees budded and the sun shone .. . but spring fever soon disrupted the quiet harmony. Mischievous pranksters plotted their stratagem, and the attack was on. First, 11 3 students participated in a walk-out March 28, some saying they were protesting rules. "I'm an adult now, and it seems ironic that I'm treated like I'm in seventh grade at school," said Scott Brown '80, who said he left to demonstrate his feelings. But if the walk-out had a 'purpose, those in charge failed to make it clear, and many students who left did so "just for the heck of it." "I was just sick of being cooped up" said one junior. Although walk-out participants had to make up double time, seniors w ere given a legal skip day April 25, when 71 percent missed classes. Held at Martin's, the official party was a success, complete w ith five kegs and a roa sted pig. "We played volleyball and ate a lot," said Mary Harrison '80.

Preparing their routine was not all fun and games, though. They practiced before school and during eighth hour for two weeks with the help of pom-pon girls Toni DiBlasi '80, and Julie Madsen '80. Everyone worked to make this easier because the guys couldn't get the hang of some steps, according to DiBlasi. Humor, however, not complexity, w as stressed. "First we thought of how we looked and how funny it would be; then we tried to find a song with a lot of innuendoes," said Gibson. After finding a song for the dance, " Good Girls Don't" by The Knack, the squad faced yet another problem-outfits. Since the pom-pon girls were more petite than the average Scrogette, guys had to squeeze into sweaters and skirts many sizes to small. "We had to be really careful getting dressed," said Jim Boomsma '80. "It was rough making the dresses fit." Despite complications, they produced a humorous half-time show that brought strong reactions. "While they performed, I was laughing so hard I was crying," said Kathy Embry '80.

With the addition of the computer to guidance pamphlets and college representative visits the possibi I ities for futures seemed endless. "I haven't found a legitimate school we don't have information on," said Richard Schoeppner, counselor. Students shared counselors' appreciation of the computer. "I think it's neat because you don't have to wait for answers as you would if you wrote to a college," said Becky Cass '80. While students cited many reasons for going to college, most felt it would be difficult to be successful without some higher education. "It is impossible to get" ahead today without a college degree," said Larry Kisby '80. Although AL graduates received thousands of dollars in scholarships and loans, enabling them to attend the colleges of their choice, many chose to stay ._iose to home, at least at first. " I want to try myself out before I go on to a big school," said Bernie Duis '80, who was to attend Iowa Western.

Created by Tom Schropp '80, in his sophomore year, the infamous but fictional Hough left behind him a trail of misdeeds that spanned three years. Known for hi s undependability, Hough ran up library fines he didn't pay, got referrals he never signed, and forgot to pay the deposit on a Campus Life ski trip he promised to take. Reliable sources also said he broke• a keg at a party, and stuck arrows in the ceiling of the girls' gym. "Everyone uses Gary's name for odds and ends that you don't want to get in trouble for," said Schropp. But Gary was really an intelligent fellow, with an inspiring school record. His name appeared on the official rolls and seating charts in classes such as World Lit. and P.E., and according to counselor Richard Schoeppner, "he hasn't flunked anything yet," even though he never attended classes. _, Before he graduated, Gary even managed to become an athlete. His name 212 senio rs-imaginary gary was among the basketball results in the Nonpareil, and he often skated at Rolla Rena East. He was so well-liked by skaters that "Happy Birthday" was played for him there. On Senior Skip Day, Hough showed an unusually responsible side. Although he skipped with most of his c lass, records showed that he checked back in at 9:20 because he felt guilty. But even after he showed his school loyalty, the office wouldn't admit his existence. In fact, a sign reading "No Student-Gary Hough" hung in the assistant principal's office most of the year. Gary's biggest wish was to be able to graduate with his class, much to the bewilderment of sophomores and juniors who wanted the legendary Hough to pin their troubles on.

Choosing the right college had you spinning in circles, but after spending a week of study halls in the guidance office, you finall y reached a decision and it was a good one. Making up you r mind to get a job was easier when you learned that by taking DECA, you could work and get credit. It seemed as though all you had to do was look around-AL was full of people and programs to help you get moving in the ri ght directions. AL groups found the answers too. Student Counci l took a step in the right direction when they fulfilled their commitment to sponsor one activity each month. The Echoes staff found ways to overcome the stumbling blocks of inexperience and smal l numbers to take top national and metro honors. O ur basketball team made the commitment to keep on going, even after posting a 5-13 season record, and their efforts took them all the way to sub-state pl ay.

" ah, this school is the pits! Just try and show me one good thing about AL." ' That conversation was repeated over and over as many of us were depressed to start the year with one disastrous football loss after another. But when we really thought about it, we had to admit that AL had many good things to offer us. Even though we took them for granted, they were all there . . . right before our very eyes. When we returned to school on the first day, it was hard not to notice what $90,000 and over 400 gallons of paint had done to our old, worn-out school. ew carpeted ramps were added, and old ones were covered with a non-slip sea blue surface to make every wing of the building accessible to the handicapped. Dingy old lockers had been transformed into rows of sparkling red and gleaming blue. Room after room invited us to enjoy pastel hues of lavender, peach, or blue. Our old gym floor, hollowed out and full of dead spots, had been tom apart, relaid, sanded, polished, cleaned, repolished, and recleaned. Two huge lynx heads snarled at our rivals from the floor, where they were painted in bright reds and blues. Along the edges, a wide path of royal blue marked the areas where walking in street shoes was permissible. Yet, as we added the clutter of books, papers, posters, pompons, debate file drawers, yearbooks, sack lunches, and all the other paraphernalia that 1,226 students and 85 faculty members bring with them, we found that cubby holes began to sag, blue ramps developed worn brown spots, and spider webs hung in strangled threads from the far corners of band practice rooms. Somehow, the newness of it all began to fade, and we soon forgot how lucky we were to have the biggest, most modern, and best decorated high school fac ility in CB. But even after a bit of the sparkle had worn away, we still romped across the new gym floor for fun and varsity ball, crammed in last minute research in a library carpeted to insure quiet, and rode scooters down those non-slip ramps when we thought no one was watching. It's to those things and so many more of the often forgotten attributes of AL and its people that we dedicate this 1981 Crimson and Blue. So come on, take a better look with us at what is, indeed, right before our very eyes. 2 opening ------------- -- ·our very eyes "H-m-m-m, let's see, is there anything else I need?"

Hall talk contended, "Gosh, this school is dead; nothing ever happens," but if we looked for excitement, we discovered all kinds of activities to occupy our time. In fact, more than 100 of us found a way to spend spare hours participating in the school musical, "Finian 's Rainbow." But the year was filled with complaints. "Homecoming was really a flop. It was too early to get anything done, and then we lost the game," we griped. Yet we managed to put a 19-float parade together, and to cheer enthusiastically for Lori Farrell '81, when she was crowned at halftime. "The dance was so early that it didn't even seem like Christmas, and the band took too many breaks," we grumbled. But planning for the big night was half the fun, and most couples enjoyed dressing up and going out to restaurants such as Stuart Anderson's and Gallagher's. "I hate my job! All I do is go to school and then to work," we were heard to say. Yes, jobs could be a hassle, but when we thought about them, we knew we wouldn't have given up the extra ca5h and responsibility for anything. When we quit talking about how boring life was in Council Bluffs, we bega11 to appreciate the opportunities right before our very eyes. 4 student life Singing their hearts out in the all-school musical, Sharon (Sue Ahrendts) and Finian (Kerry Mortensen) try to ease the homesick feelings they have for the old country, Ciocca Mora.

Between the two extreme seasons, autumn provided three fun-fill ed months of compromise and reprieve. "Autumn is like aettina the best of two seasons," said Kurt \.., ,.., \fortensen '82. Stlldents accepted the results of the compromise with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Kaylene Achenbaugh '82, said, "Auhmm is so depressing. With summer fading away, all you have to look forward to is four dead, BLAH months of cold winter. " In contra5t, Mary Jerkovich '82, exclaimed, "I love fall! Everything is so crispy-the leaves, the bonfires, the air! It's exhilarating!" Enthusiasm towards autumn also depended on how students fill ed 'the waning warm, sunshiny days. When days were spent hunting, bicycling, playing football, riding horses, attending hayrack rides, or roasting marshmallows over bonfires, enthusiasm soared. Togetheme.5s is top priority to couple Kay elson and Ma rk Preucil, who find the pe rfect way to share each other\ company-a bicycle built for two on a September aft moon. (ABOVE) 6 student life-events Summer's end, winter's beginning provide students with three warm, fun-filled months of autumn activities "I always look fon.vard to fall because we go to football games with an airpot full of hot chocolate and a blanket to · kee p warm in," said Michelle Anderson '82. But when days were spent raking leaves or , ,cl eaning out gardens, enthusiasm dropped. "Auhlmn always means lots of leaves to rake. Yuck! I'd rather jump in them," said Paula Hartfield '82. Students rec0tmted some of the events that made fall '80 special. One group of guys found an auhlmn inservice day was the perfect setting for an eight-man football game at Kirn field. "We just went out and got crazy," said Todd Mad'>en '81. "The game got rough in parts, but luckily we had no fatalities!" "We almost had a fight over unsportsmanlike conduct because people kept taking cheap shots," added Cory Amend '81.

"It was really ftm the first 15 minutes until all the hav ran out. Then I had to steal it from under Mr. and Mrs. Smoley or g rab the wet, muddy hay off the ground to bombard my victims," he said. Because the first real frost a rrived late, colors weren't quite a<; fiery and golden as autumns of the past. But mild temperatures ranging from 60 degrees to 35 degrees more than made up for th e lack of color. "This vear was so mild that I neve r knew what to wear," said Mindy Goecker '82. "One day it would be 90 degrees and the next only 60 degrees." On Oct. 27, winter presented a sneak preview, though, dumping fiv e inches of \.vet, heavy snow on the metro area and setting a new record. But within a couple days, autumn returned and students once again enjoyed th e pleasant activities that the warm sunshine made possible.

(BELOW) UTTOGETThEVOT~-- W i~h only th ~ stars and a few street lights to grnde them, 30 to 40 high school students trudged from house to house throughout the city, hanging fli ers on doors to remind citizens to vo te. TI1is midnight-to-4 a.m. trek was only the beginning of a busy election clay fo r student campaign workers. Poll watchers checked off names of citizens as they voted. Phone bank workers at party headquarters then called those in their respective party who had not yet voted. "The response from the public v.;as very positive," said Tasha Kachulis '81. " I talked to many concerned peopl e who planned to vote." At the Republican Headquarters alone, more than 26,000 calls were made between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Door-to-door campaigning also filled the students' election clay. " I liked going door to door," said Michelle Anderson '82, "because it gave me a chance to meet the people and persuade them to vote." Mary Ann Hanusa '81, estimated she distributed over 75 fli ers in two precincts. " I felt Reagan should win, and I wanted to help as much as I could," Hanusa said. Student campaign workers man phones, hand out fliers for their favorite candidates Although politics students were assigned a minimum three hours of work for a political party, many said they would have become involved on their own. " It gives you a sense of accomplishment knowing you're working for something you believe in," said Jim Rance '81. Not everyone, however, felt such dedication to a cause. Although they rooted fo r Republicans, some students campaigned fo r the Democratics. Because his fa ther was a registered Democrat, Democratic Headquarters recruited Dan Langdon '83. "Even though I'm Republican," said Langdon, "I didn't mind working fo r the Democrats because I felt getting involved would be a good experience." vVhatever their political persuasion, most workers anxiously awaited election results. "I plan to be up all niaht watching the returns," said Hanusa. But staying up all night wasn't necessary. At 7 p.m., while many voters were still at the polls, NBC News p rojected Ronald Reagan as our fortieth nt. Winning by a land5lide, he received 434 more electoral votes than President Carter. Nationally, voter turnout was better than expected. Local workers were especially gratified with the large turnout in Pottawattamie Corn1ty, where 90 percent of registered voters went to the polls. But if the mock election at AL had been any indication of national trends, the US \.vould have been in trouble. Under 20 percent of the student body participated in the voting. "vVhen it comes to voting,'' said Rance, "most people are all talk and no action." At least a few sh1dents, however, had done more than talk about politics. Student workers knew they had made a contribution, and that the candidates appreciated their efforts. "The student attitude was great," said Tom Slater (D), who was reelected to the state senate. "We couldn't have done it without them." election 9 Steady rhythm pounds as band membe r Stuart Neal helps to encourage spirit at the Bayliss Park pep assembly following the parade.

(BELOW) TltE WEEI< TltAT ALMOST WASN'T H omecoming 1980 held about as much excitement as liver and onions for Christmas cJjnner, or rain on the first day of · swnmer vacation, according to many disappointed students. vVith events scheduled only two weeks after school started, students found it difficult to prepare for the week's festivities. Though many clubs hadn't elected officers or even had their first meeting, faithfol officers and members from last year struggled to pull their groups together for the Homecoming ac tivities. Even Sh1dent Council, traditional spirit leader in the past, stn1gglecl to organi ze the parade and dance. " It was disappointing to students that Student Co un cil coLLldn 't offer more leadership in the parade and in finding a band fo r the dance," said Sue Ahrendts '81, treasurer. "But members hadn't been elected and with only fou r officers and small funds, it was the best we could do." Though attempts were made to inform students of upcoming events, comments like, "Homecoming Dance is this Saturday?" or "Which team do we play this Early Homecoming date catches student~ off guard; Clubs attempt to get ready Friday?" displayed student disinterest. "Anyone corning into AL couldn't have guessed it was om Homecoming \.Veek because the halls weren't even decorated! " said Stephanie Peters '81. But as ann0tmcements repeatedly urged students to submit fl oat entries, clubs and organizations hastily arranged their first meetings, and decided on parade ideas. Finally, by Thmsday, 18 entries were received. The cheerl eaders' fl oat with the slogan "Zap the Wabbits" featured a 7-foot rabbit shiffed with Kleenex. "\hie worked from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. the night before the parade to finish that stupid rabbit," said Kim Ranch '81. After groups tlU"ew together floats, cars, and even a few roller skating lynx and bunnies to represent them, a secret panel of judges chose tl1e Swing Choir entry bearing the slogan "Boot the Bmmies" as the winner. Trarntionally, the winning float had been entitled to appear during half-time at Friday night's game, but due to a strong wind, even this Homecoming tradjtion was cancelled. "Winning tl1e prize fo r best float was the highlight of tl1e week for me, and I was really upset when we couldn't bring it to the game," said Lama Allen '81. At tl1e F1iday night game, disappointed fans and football players expe1ienced an overwhelming 26-0 loss. "I couldn't believe that we rndn't even score," said Bob Speight '82. At least one person, however, was pleased witl1 tl1e outcome of Friday's events. Tears of joy and screams of delight accompanied the crowning of Lori Farrel '81, as supportive volleyball teammates rushed to congrah.uate tl1e newly crowned queen. As a whole, sh.1dents felt the week could have been better if more time had been allowed for plaml.ing. homecoming II ltE sltow MUST GO o U nwanted chuckles eso un~ed , in th.e auditorium when Brad Miles s chalf unexpectedly collapsed, leaving him sprawled on the stage floor during the matinee of "Finian's Rainbow." Mishaps like this kept the cast and crew scrambling to make last minute repairs and add polish to their final performances. "There's always a moment of panic for the ca~t before evervone realizes they've got to cret their act to ~eth " said director Patri- n n cia Dontchos. Inexperience, coupled with unusually difficult music and makeup, forced the cast to pitch in and help each other. With the exception of Kerry Mortensen '81, and Sue Ahrendts '81, leads were inexperienced and needed extra help, accordin(r to Dontchos. "It was the first singing b I'd ever done on stage, and I was self-conscious and scared," said Jim Bolas '81. Sharon, the main fema le lead, was double cast to include both Ahrendts and ancy Rogic '81, because the music was so strenuous that it would have put a strain on one girl's voice to sing four shows. " It wa~ fun for Sue and me because we're so "How are things in Glocca Mora?" c roons a homesic:k Sharon (Nancy Rogic) as she washes a sh11 t.

"But I hated it when people compared us because we're so diffe rent." Makeup also caused concern throughout the musical. All totaled, 15 people were transformed into a differe nt co lor. "Makeup was such a hassle," said Denise Winchester '83. "Putting it on took about a half-hour, but we had to come three hours earl y because the leads put on th e ir makeup after us. " Og, played by Andy Luther '83, started each show as a green leprechaun. After each scene, he removed a littl e makeup at a time, finally becoming a fl esh-colored mortal. "I disliked the thought of being green, but I did it to help the show," said Luther.

" I stuttered through the te legram, and everyone tried to help. " Despite problems, performances went so well that a polite student audi ence at th e matinee pleasantly smprisecl the cast. "The students were well-behaved and responsive. I was floored," said Dontchos. Students appreciated the work that went into the musical. "A t the encl of th e matinee, we gave the cast a sta nding ovation and I blew kisses to all my fri ends,'' said Kathy May '81.

(ABOVE CENTER) 14 student life-events EMORiEs ANd Foolish FEAR~ Pacing, fidgeting, and fre tting, more than 150 girls spent the afte rnoon of December 6 in a frenzy. "Now what do I have left to do? Paint my nails, shower, curl my hair ... mayb e I should make a list," they mused. On the other side of town, boys ente rtained their own nervous thoughts. " I have to ca<;h m:1 check, wax the car, and pick up those dumb flowers. I hope he r fathe r doesn't mind if I'm la te." These last minute worries before Christmas D ance had been preceded by weeks of ne rve-wracking tasks that had to be accomplished before that special night. The first task for girls was to select an escort. Meanwhile, boys wondered what to say if they were asked. " I tmned two girls down, waiting for the one I hoped 'vvould ask me, and I wondered if I'd even get to go," said a senior boy. For girls, mustering the courage to pop the question was often a problem. Finally, though, it all spilled out, and in most cases Yule dance holds memories of jitters, hard rock, and fancy dinners the answer wa<; ves. " It took me almost two weeks before I a.c;ked him because I kept chickening out," said Marcv Davis '83. Finally, December 6 arrived. Moments before the big date, girls fretted over every strand of hair and boys silentl:' dreaded the moment they would have to mee t their date's parents. "I did my bangs three times and it was a disappointment to leave and find it raining," said Sheri Flaimery '82. Many couples went to parties first. "W e had nm," said Monty Gartin '82. "People seem to share a special kind of closeness when Christmas time comes around." Finally arriving, couples danced to the music of "Straight Grain and Steel" and had pi_ctures taken by Bob Pyles. Many students disliked the nd's hard rock music and their breaks every 15 minutes. "The group didn't get the attention of ever:1one, so people just sat and talked," said Troy Ronnfeldt '83. At 9:51. one culprit began tearing down decorations and soon all but the streamers on the walls came h.unbling down. " It looked really nice and Christmasy until ever:1body started tearing the decorations down," said Susie Branigan '8.3. Although they were warned to take care on icv streets, from 10:30 on, couples stracrcr.Jed out to en1·ov $20 to $25 dinners at Ob · · favorite Omaha restaurants. Some even traveled as far as Stuart Anderson's Cattle Companv, more than 25 miles away. " It was different going to a fancy place, but it was a lot of fun," said Shawn Richards '82. As couples said goodnight, they knew that even though the evening had ended, their memories would linger on. To be sure they look just right, many students get their pictures taken as they arrive.

Girls snatched up this advice as they wore c:lothes ranging from soft pastel plaid skirts to warm earth-toned western wear.

" This brought a touch of class, a bit of sport, and a reminder of Otff childhood with knee-highs, loafers, and neck ribbons. "I love the preppv look!" said "Janey Rorric '81. " It's polished enoue:h to be b \..I dressy, yet comfortable enough to be casual. " Although the preppy look was a top fashion news item, 17 out of 30 girls interd didn't care fo r it.

"This year's look seems classy yet comfortable." - Marcie Hodge '81 Shoes and pants grabbed the headlii:i.e entitled "Biggest Change Since Last Year! " "Both shoes and pants are so much more comfortable this year," said Jane Searcy '82. "The low-heeled Bass and Dexter shoes make walking easier and the loosefitting, pleated pants are less binding." Despite the fact that they had been around fo r years, blue jeans still held the number one spot for comfort. "I feel comfortable in soft skirts and sweaters, but I absolutely love blue jeans," said Jill Krabbe '83. Boys, too, selected blue jeans over any other fashion, and wore them with untucked shirts of all sorts. "Blue jeans and Tshirts make me feel relaxed because they're comfortable," said Scott Rash '82. Fashion magazines offered suggestions and girls agreed. "Things are goina more soft and feminine for girls," said Tami Griffis '82. "But there's still that sporty spirit about clothing. " fashion 17 ---liE Food WE ATE CltowiN' dowN Candy bars, potato chips, pop play an important role in satisfying gnawing appetites Except for the bluish light of the TV, the house lay in darkness as the clock strnc:k twelve. Muted voices from the h orror fli ck drifted through the room. Suddenly a loud CRR-UNCH pierced the silence. Someone had found the potato chips. "When I watch TV, I always have a bag of chips in hand," said Margaret Stuhr '82 . "The cnmching breaks the suspense." But this wa5n't the onlv time teens liked to munch. Study halls, breaks, and after school hours served as perfect times to cram growling stomachs with junk foods "Munchies are something I never get tired of." - Missy Campbell '83 ranging from Dr. Pepper, to Snickers, to Doritos. "After a long, hard day a t school, I crave a candy bar and a tall glass of pop," said Kathy Kimball '83. In a chocolaty, french-fried world, weight watchers found it hard to control calories. " It's so disgusting to chew a celery stick when I'm dreaming of a big burrito!" said Molly Daley '82. But Paul Gardiner '83, resisted temptations and stuck to his rationing plans. "For lw1ch I have three milks, and my only meal of the day is suppertime. Tha t way I stay in shape," he said. For others, fa5t foods played an important part in eating habits. Most students claimed they spent $2 to $3 once a week at either Taco Bell or Bmger King. "Burger King's food is a nice change of pace," said Sandy Wood '81. Moods, too, affected how some students ate. "If I'm depressed, I can't eat because the cnmchy, munchy noise disturbs the quiet," said Susie Cochran '82. On the other hand, Lisa Butterbaugh '82, claimed depression made her pork-out. "If my stomach's full, I don't feel so alone and troubles don't seem so bad," she said. The chip bag is empty, crumpled on the floor, and the TV buzzes with static. From the couch, a satisfied ZZZ floats through the room.

Although a few of the 325 daily drivers made the parking lot notorious, not all were reckless. Many, in fac t, used extreme caution. "The only reason I trust the parking lot is that my friends park around me so my car is safe," said Mike Hunter '81. "In the past three years, I spent $3,000 on my car." - Mike Hunter '81 The high cost of ownership made those who had purchased their cars especially careful. A survey of 75 students showed that insurance ranged from $30 to $600 every six months. Car payments averaged about $85 a month. In addition, most students reported paying about $20 a week for gas. "The only disadvantage of owning a car is the expense," said Brad Hansen '82. But I"J'.OSt students paid these costs happily. "I feel the responsibility of keeping my car in numing order and budgeting the money for it has made me more mature," said Jamie Mckern '81. In fact, almost all of the 75 students agreed that own ing a car had contributed to their maturity. Along with responsibility came a new fotmd freedom and independence. "Having a car is great. I used to feel locked up," said Todd Killion '82. "I still let my parents know where I'm going, but at least now, I don't depend on them for everything. It's a little embarrassing taking a date out with your parents along." Everyone agreed that breaking away was most fun when it involved romance. "Having a car makes it a lot easier to pick up girls," said Kevin Kinney '82. But for most busy students, a car provided more than enjoyment. "To do anything in Catmcil Bluffs- get to work, go to the orthodontist, or nm family errands-I have to have transportation,'' said Kevin Kimball '82. "I couldn't live without a car.'' wheels 21 HE plACES WE WENT LETTiN' loosE H om s blared and voices shrieked in the dark, crisp air, as a parade of jackedup four-wheel drives, dilapidated beaters, and borrowed family cars cruised Broadway on Friday night. Many students found that cruising was one way to begin lettin' down and loosenin' up from pressures of school. "We usually drive to Burger King, through Ogden Place, to Sam's and Taco Bell, then turn around and do it all over again!" said Cindy Mahood '82. Occasionally, Broadway became a racing strip. When the light turned green, accelerators jammed to the floor and rubber burned until one opponent screeched to a halt at a red light. "I like to glare at the car opposite .me and then watch through the mirror as I pass them up," said Jeff Behrendsen '82 . "Mt car won't do over five, , ,, so can t race anymore. -Doug Hendrix '81 Fast food restaurants we re favo rite meeting places, especially Burger King, which students voted tops. "We usually just stop by to see who's there and then we go on," said Gina Hilderbrand '82. For a change of pace, students went to Omaha's Old Vfarket, whe re they enjoyed unique shops and an old-time atmosphere. "It's neat! " said Danielle Shoemaker '81. "You fee l like you're on a vacation because of so many different shops." While at the Old Market, students could try their wizardry on pinball, foosball , and other electronic games at Gizmo's. "When you go to Gizmo's, you leave with a good impression," said De rek McMains '81. "It has something for everyone." Students could also test their skill at Brunswick, where instead of bowling, many mastered pool. "Shooting pool keeps us off the streets and passes the time away quickly," said Dan Brown '81. But whatever the stopping points, Friday night almost always began with the screeching of fast-moving vehicles and ended only after eyelids became droopy. 22 student life-trends 3:05 bell signals "GO" for night life, and the gang cruises Broadway, stopping at favorite hang-outs "Oh, really?"

I couldn't stand being \Vith one person that long. Variety is the spice of life. " Teens had to decide what type of relationship was best for them. In a survey of 100 students, half preferred the excitement of meeting new people, while the other half chose the intimacy of a one-to-Dne relationship. "Even at an early age you look for someone you might consider marrying," said Alan Boucher '82. "\i\lhen you find someone with a compatible character, you're happy being with that special person." "The number of people a person dates is up to the individual. No one can say who's right." -Dan Bowlds '82 Many couples agreed that security and tiust were an important part of their relationship. "\i\lhen I have a problem, I can discuss it with my boyfriend, " said Sharon Yow1g '82. "I know he is sincere when he says he cares and wants to help. " As couples grew closer, some made it a point to go to out-of-the-way places, or even stay home and watch TV together so they could be alone. "It doesn't matter where we go or what we are doing, we're just happy to be with each other," said Sheri Flannery '82. Others felt playing the fi eld was better. "High school is a time for having fun ," said Julie Edwards '81. 'Td rather date more than one guy now, and think about getting serious with someone in college." At least a dozen students echoed the opinion of Kevin Giles '81, who said, "By shopping around you're likely to discover what type of a person you'd want to marry." No matter how many people sh1dents went out with, everyone agreed they would remember the happy, sad, or embarrassing moments of high school dating. dating 25 HE jobs WE HELd MAkiN' hREAd Left in charge of the Coors Distributing Plant, Paul Schultz '82, found himself swToW1ded by endless cases of beer which had to be delivered. He desperately a ttempted to fix a broken fork lift, but with no tools available and all the repair shops closed, he finally resorted to man power. One by one, he loaded over 2,000 cases of beer onto the trucks, a task which took him W1til 3 a.m. "A job is a responsibility. It was up to me to see the work was done right." -Paul Schultz '82 Learning such responsibility was important to many students. "Working helps you make more decisions and prepare for the day you'll be on yow- own," said Teresa Collins '82. Some students regarded their jobs as a stepping stone. "Working helps a person find a job he might consider for a career," said Dan Herrington '81. With wages averaging $2.75 to $3.50 an hour, students learned the value of hardearned ca5h. Regardl ess of the size of the paycheck, students found that clothes, entertainment, and college savings took every bit of it. "I can't believe my money goes so quickly," said Amy Ferguson '82. "It seems I've spent it all before I ge t my check." Some jobs gave workers personal satisfaction a5 well as cash. ' 'I'd work there even if I weren't paid," said Cindy Francis '82, who wa5 employed at the Bethany Lutheran Home. "It makes me feel good to know I've brightened someone's day. " A survey of 236 students showed that one-third were employed. Some said they felt a job would interfe re with studying and school ac ti vities. 'T m so busy I wouldn't have time to do my best at both a job and school," said Ember Howell '83. But most employed students said their busy schedule had little effect on the ir schoolwork.

" It was pitch dark outside, and my feet kept slipping and sinking in the mud," said Laura Allen '81. "But even though W (;! kept tripping over holes and falling, we were de te rmined to find that house!" Mysterious howls sounding from the surrotmding bluffs made the dange r of the trip seem more real as Co ry Amend '8 1, warned his fri ends that the extraordinarily bright stars signified that death was near. Suddenly, the leader of the pack, Rew Goodenow '81, let out a sharp cry and started racing towards the cars parked a quarter mile back. V\Thile the drivers fumbled for their keys, the others stared in horror as a perfectly circular, glowing light glided towards their cars. Scrambling to get inside, they pulled away just as the light reached their back bumper. "What's so ironic is that us guys who went just to give the girls a good scare ended up petrified omselves," said Danny Spooks get scared as they venture to unknown haunts or wear unique costumes Knotek '81, of the bizarre happenings that Halloween night. Meanwhile, at the Squirrel Cage Jail, many students were hard at work sending shivery chills down the spines of people all different ages. "I thought the Squirrel Cage was better this year than ever before. There were a lot of people who came through and laughed, but I had to carry out a scared little boy or girl more than one time," said Mike Brotherson '82, who worked with fri ends on a room called "Hall of the Lost Souls." But Halloween wasn't just a day for spooks and spirits. More people tlrnn ever before got into the holiday mood by coming to school in all sorts of costumes. Passing one another in the halls were red and green-headed clowns, scrawny and plump hobos, slender Lady Antoinettes, rosycheeked Raggedy A1m's, a pink-eared rabbit, a hooded grim reaper, a two-foot wide lady bug, and even a full-length fuzzy brown dog named Flopsy. "I could hardly see throucrh the mask so b , people had to guide me through t11 e halls," said Michelle Anderson '82 . " It was so hot w1demeath that suit; I was sweating to death by the end of the day."

Set in a New York boarding house and centering on the trials and tribulations of aspiring young actresses, the play required that 33 parts be cast. Twenty were filled by novices. "I admire Ms. Dontchos for taking on such a large cast with so many beginners," said Lori McDonald '81. But working with so many novices presented problems, many of which occurred onstage. During one of the most dramatic scenes, a risque remark yelled by a student at the matinee caused Susie Lara '83, and McDonald to giggle uncontrollably. "I drew a blank when it happened; I didn't know what was going on," said Lara. Half of me was trying to get into character, and the other half just lost control." "You've gotta' be crazy to be in the business we 're in, so why am I here?" Judith (Kelly Wilson) tries to convince herself that she is right to continue pursuing h r dream of acting.

(RIGHT) 30 student life-events Twenty novice actors face myriad of mishaps during all-school play During an evening performance Jane Arterbmn '81, forgo t to run down the stairs to interrupt an onstage argument between Jim Bola~ '81, and McDonald. Both actors were left on stage not knowing what to say, with their mouths agape. "At that moment I thought, 'We gotta' go on, w e go tta' cove r up! " said McDonald. "Then when we were almost finished with that scene, I kept hoping that she wouldn't come down the stairs!" Other mishaps plagued the cast from backstage, including sound and lighting effects. Doors slammed in actors' faces when they exited, doorbells rang when they answered the phone, and in one scene, the lights went off in the middle of the last line. "I was ready to start throwing punches," said stage manager Monica Reed '81, "but then I thouaht, you can't win 'e m a ll!" Still other p r:oble rns were complete ly beyond the control of the direc tors, cast, and crew. The measles ke pt Monica Reed home from the la5t performance and Tamv Johnson '82, got laryngitis the ni rht before the matinee. "Mv voice sounded like a baritone's! I felt I .had let everyone down," said Johnson. Yet with all the problems, D ontchos thought the play was a success. "Overall, I think the play wen t reasonably well for what I expected from such a large group of neophytes," said D ontchos. "But I like to work with beginners." Barely aware of the stumbling blocks which ~onfronted the cast, students agreed that the play was successful. "I liked the play; it helped me see w hat an actress has to go through when try ing to get a job," said Melinda Pe rry '81 .

These were just a few of the reasons people became involved in one way or another with the 1980-81 Roadshow, "That's Show Biz." Performe rs also had special reasons for choosing their acts. When Kim Ranch '81, was told by her mother that the strange voice she spoke in sounded like the "Saturday Night Live" character Rosanne Rosanna Danna, Ranch decided to present the out spoken newscaster to the student body. "I have a good time imitating Rosanne," said Ranch. "I think the kids can relate to her sense of humor." Although members of the standingroom-only student audience also related to the loud rock and roll music of "Chance," directors felt the band wouldn't be as popular with adults, so it was not allowed to perform at the evening shows. The most important thing to band members, however, was being able to perform for their peers. "Since we hope to make it big someday, 32 student life - big events Thrill of performing, fun, and accomplishment move students to get involved with 'That's Show Biz' we wanted to see how the crowd would react," said Bill Derby '81. With a more mellow musical selection, Mike Johnson '82, played "Troubles, Trials, and Tribulations," a piano solo which he composed himself. Johnson had composed other songs, but this was the first selection he performed in front of a large audience. "I wanted to see if my music would be accepted," said Johnson. "I was really nervous at first, but when people told me they liked the song, I felt a sense of self-accomplishment." Flashing lights and fast-beat music wrapped up the show as the New Design Swing Choir performed their rendition of "Fame." " We thought the "Fame" medley would be popular because the kids like all the songs," said Donna Fritz '81. Becau5e members wanted to dress the part, they tried to fashion their costumes after those in "Fame." But their task wasn't as easy as they thought it would be, since only three members had seen the movie. "Most of us didn't know what to wear, so we decided on something bright and eye-catching," said Melody Johnson '82. Although students enjoyed these and other acts, many felt that more variety would have improved the show. "I liked the musical acts, but I would have liked to see more comedy," said Karen Hundtofte '82. Directors also agreed that the show lacked the variety of previous years, but director Lee Spann explained why 19 of the 23 acts were music-oriented. " Ve ry few comedy acts were presented to us at auditions," he said. "Ms. Dontchos a nd I could only choose from what we saw." To improve next year's show, directors hoped more interest would be shown by school organizations and faculty members. "Roadshow offers the opportunity for everyone to present talents not exhibited in the musical or all-school play," said director Patricia Dontchos. "We like to see a5 many as possible get involved."

As 11:30 drew near, Prom officially ended, but for 200 couples who filtered out to restaurants for a late night dinner, only one third of the night was over. After dinner, couples drove home to change for less formal festivities. In a creepy, deserted graveyard, three petrified couples cautiously made their way toward the Black Angel. Suddenly, one mischievous member of the group pierced the night with a howl, and they all ran screaming to their cars. "The stars were out and it wasn't even cold," said Robert Christensen '81, " so our group thought it would be neat to go for a walk. After we left the Black Angel, w e went to Lincoln Park to swing and talk. " Many other couples filled their early morning hours rolle rskating at the Roller Rena. "We really had a lot of fun," said Lamie Kurth '81, "but a week late r, I still have bruises because a few people kept knocking me down." Couples who wanted a little more privacy went back to their motel parties or to their homes to watch TV. As dawn broke, a few of those "vho had la5ted the night drove to friends' h omes or to Perkins for breakfast. " I was surprised I was able to stay up all night," said Melody Johnson '82, "but I had so much fun, the night just seemed to fl y." After breakfast, some couples drove to serene spots such as Big Lake or Look Out Point to watch the brilliant sunrise which signaled the true end of Prom night. Finally, as weary couples began to part and slowly moved their tired bodies home toward bed, the happiness on their faces mirrored the memories of romantic and funfilled moments to be foreve r treasured.

And then it happened-everyone was in line. During the months before May 19, seniors waited for that special night. In January they were measured fo r robes and caps, in February they ordered announcements, in May the annorn1cements came. Final tests were taken, and everything was ready. But even afte r all the preparations, the actual event seemed to sneak up on unsuspecting seniors. " \Ve planned graduation for weeks, and for a while it was so hectic. I wa~ swamped with homework and lastminute details," said Julia Montgomery '81. "For three years you think you hate ~chool , but after you graduate, you regret it-it was all over so soon."

" Sunday was filled with receptions that continued throughout the next two clays. 'Tel planned my open house for two weeks," said Kelli Stevens '81. "But now I look back, and it almost seems like it didn't happen because it was over so quickly." Those days fl ew, and before they knew it, the Class of '81 d01med robes and caps fo r the last time. In the small gym, they cheered for class sponsor Don Scheibeler and guest speaker Kathryn Koob, and then whispered among themselves during final instructions. " \Ve were all sitting together, and I realized how fast the time had gone," said Allan Rouse '81. " I had been there three years, and I didn 't know half the people." - Hearing muffled sounds of "Pomp and Circumstance," the seniors fil ed out and slowly made their way · to the big gym, packed past capacity with 5,000 people. After everyone was seated, ex-hostage Koob spoke of fom important "A 's"-acceptance, awareness, adaptability, and acknowledgement. "After Koob's speech, I reali zed that even though we have problems, there's no place like the U.S., " said Randy Hiatt '81. Following the speech, seniors walked row by row to the stage, received their diplomas, and proudly returned to their chairs. "When I walked up on stage I was shocked because I felt that it would never be my turn," said Toni Collins '81. \Vith class president Rew Gooclenow's cue, the Class of '81 moved their tassles from right to left and became official graduates.

And the Echoes, after being named Best Newspaper in the metro area, received its sixth consecutive All-American. The winning ways of AL groups were right before our very eyes.

Sotmd unreal? For 51 out of 64 students polled, such a day was common as they stmggled to cram both curricular and extracurricular activities into an amazingly short :2-! hours. "There just aren't enough hours in a day to do both homework and extracurricular activities to the best of my ability," said Dave Brokman '82. Confli cts between activities often forced sh1dents to juggle their schedules so they could balance extracurricular, curricular, familv, and personal activities.

"It seems that whenever I have a concert or rehearsal, it falls on the day I work," said Tod Hilton '81, "so usually I try to plan 'ahead and get the day off." Most students felt teachers were understanding when homework was neglected after a n:iajor event. "I think teachers do all thev can to avoid conflicts, and when conflicts do arise, they try to work something out," said Frank Hurley '82. Yet others thought teachers expected far too much. "Teachers don't seem to realize that you have other activities and classes," said Heather Weiss '83. "During one busy week, I had 11 tests! " Even though they were often neglected, the parents of involved students served as a major source of encouragement when the pressures became too tough to handle.

Yet students kept going through the long hours of practice, sweat, and pressure because they all agreed that the rewards more than made up for the hassles. "Extracurricular activities reli eve the pressures from classes," said Alan Rickert '82. "They also make the year faster and more interesting." "The conflicts can be very nerve-wracking.

As prices continued to skyrocket, organizations lured us into buying anything and everything so that they could meet their financial needs. Some groups even advertised, hoping to attract customers. HS posted a sign whic:h said, "Buy a doughnut, you never know what lunch will be!" In September, financial problems looked especially bleak, as the administration c:irc:ulated a list of foods whic:h were supposedly forbidden by the USDA to be sold in public schools. Because of the restrictions, students had to think of new ways to raise money. Concert Choir held an apple sale to raise money for their end-of-the-year trip. Members picked, shined, and sold over ten bushels, approximately 1,000 apples. "Even though we didn't make as much a5 we wanted to, the project was benefi cial to the group because it brought us closer together," said Susan Voss '81. But fortw1ately, not everyone had to resort to picking frnit. Because of information discovered by the newspaper staff, misconceptions about USD A guidelines were cleared up, and groups were allowed once again to sell the candy and doughnuts we'd been craving. Doughnut sales were the most common means of raising money. Held a minimum of three times a week, they proved to be a quick, easy way of earning $48 a crack. Throughout the year, stu dents gobbled up over 20,000 doughnuts. All but 2,000 of them were sold in the last half of the year, after organizations realized their time for moneymaking wa~ rnnning out. "I think we should put a sign with big arches in front of the school," said David Wood '8 1. " Abraham L inco ln H ig h Another clay, another doughnut.

Although some organizations raised money for frills ~uc:h as end-of-the-year trips and expensive dinners, others were forced to earn profits for necessities. Sinc:e soc:c:er wa5n't a sc:hool sponsored sport, the team had to raise money to pay for teferee fees, W1iforms, and even new soc:cer balls. "We don't mind raising our own money," said Roc:k Cundiff '81. "We all do our share to help." Debaters also had to cover c:osts not fornished by the school. One way they tried to meet their $250 goal was through potato chip sales. The money they made paid for membership fees to the National Forensic: League and end-of-the-year awards. 'Tm glad we c:an raise the money to experience extra activities outside of class," said Joyce Wisecup '82. Financial worries also confronted the yearbook staff. Because tight economic conditions made ad revenue scarce and the administration would not allow the b ook to be sold for more than $14, staffers were forced to earn extra monev. But most staffers resented the time thev spent manning doughnut sales and selling carnations. "It's a shame we have to spend so much time raising money w hen we should be putting our efforts into the book," said Joanne Petersen '81. "Othe r local schools charged more than $14 a book and ours is certainly worth the price." As the year ended, some g roups fe lt more pressure than ever to meet goals, while others were satisfied with their earnings. When the work was finally b ehind them, most looked forward to spending the money they had struggled to earn.

They savored the vigorous applause of their audience, the best reward they could have gotten for the 24 hours they had spent sight-reading, tuning, and harmonizing. Observers probably never realized how many hours of practice preceded every performance. Pep Band members remembered one particularly difficult selection, which they sight-read five times and still couldn't play. Finally, director Jim Misner worked for a whole period with the percussion alone. "We didn't think we'd ever get it together, but when we did, it sounded pretty good," said Rob Hansen '83. Marching Band performances also looked easier than they were. Marchers practiced nearly 100 hours, straggling out to the field at 7:15 each morning, and trekking more than 15 miles for the season. "Every morning we had to run to the building to get to second hour without being late," said Rick Reynolds '82. Marchers performed in three parades, five halftime shows, and for the first time, at State Marching Contest. Although Misner felt the band did well for the ir first a ttempt at state, musicians were disappointed. "Compared to ratings received by other schools, I think we deserved a I instead of a II," said Tony Rois '81. As marching months drew to a close, the orchestra began warming up theiT instmments for the musical. Most practice took place individually, with some students spending six hours a week. "The music was the hardest piece I've ever played," said Francis Goeser '81. "We practiced just as hard as the ac tors, and we had to do a lot of it on our own." Stage Band performed fo r television, the Roadshow, and two sea5onal concerts, but their traditional trip to Conception Abbey provided their best memories. "The atmosphere was great; the monks made us fee l really at home and even played basketball with us," said Todd Madsen '81. All in all, such good times and a love of music kept musicians going.

"I was excited and nervous when I heard the news," said Spa1m. "Only 12 choirs were selected in Iowa, and knowing my choir was one of them really made me feel proud." Swing Choir provided another source of pride for the Music Department when they entered orthwest Missouri State University's Contest. They swayed, swung, smiled, and harmonized to their theme song, "Everybody Needs Some Music," to gain the first place trophy from appreciative judges. "We were thrilled when we took first place," said Donna Fritz '81. "Everyone was laughing and hugging everyone else because we didn't think we were really ready to compete against six large schools. " Swing Choir wasn't the only participant in contests. More than 80 students dragged themselves out of bed to be at school by 7:15 to prepare for Small Group Music Co ntest, where 29 groups received 'l' ratings. Eager to gain addjtional performing experience, nine sophomore girls fo rmed a small group called the Sophtones. "Everyone thought it would be fun to start a group," said Vicki Witham '83. "We we re all good friends anyway, and we got to know each other better." Friendships were a natural outgrowth of the work and responsibility choir members shared. One Saturday afternoon ~ spent at Martin's Apple Orchard, where choir members picked, washed, and boxed apples to raise money for a yea rend-trip. "We really had a lot of fun pick ing apples," said Todd Killion '82. "It brought us a lot closer as a group and we all got to meet a lot of people we didn't know." "Choir is one class I really look forward to, " said Laurie Bledsoe '81. "Everyone is so nice, and the atmosphere so relaxed that I know no one will make fun of me." For some students, participati ng in choir was so important that trying out for the group sometimes became a trawnatic experience. "I wanted to make Concert Choir so badly," said Lori Kinney '83. "My name was accidently left off the list, and when Mr. Sparm came to tell me I had made it, I was so relieved that I bw·st into tears." 54 organizations Preparing for th e tel evised Christma s pro· gram, Conc.:ert Choir membe r Mary Ann Ha nusa helps Steve Bowlds measure the length of his robe.

He was one of 150 chosen out of 600 for the Iowa All-State Chorus his sophomore and senior year. "I think my favorite part of choir was being able to participate in All-State for two years," said Amend.

Laura Allen '81, enjoyed French food at the club's Halloween party. "The chocolate and cheese fo ndues tasted best but held about 1000 calories," she said. The club also profited $150 from doughnut sales so that they could purchase tickets to "The Three MusketPers." To end the year, they again delighted their tummies with a picnic and an elegant dinner at a French restaurant. After seven years without a club, the newly formed Art Club also enjoyed eating. In December, they viewed the play, "A Christmas Carol" preceded by dinne r at Perkins. "At dinner we had to flap our arms to explain to the Vietnamese boys what chicken was," said Rod Ettleman '83 . "They knew but enjoyed watching us act like foo ls." The club sold candy and Valentine's Da. cupcakes, which helped them travel to the art museum in Des Moines and pmchase club rings and pins. The event of the year for Science Club was experiencing the wonders of space, but they too indulged themselves with s'mores over a toasty bonfire afterwards.

When they came to take him home, he found the ride quiet and strange. "It was an uncomfortable ride because I didn't know English and they didn't speak Portuguese," said Claudio Lemos '81, Brazilian exchange student. "But now they're like family and I love them." Language was the biggest problem plaguing foreign students. " I studied English for two years, but I could say yes, no, and count to ten when I came," said Lemos. Misunderstandings frequently occurred when someone spoke too quickly or used unfamiliar slang. "People would repeat things a couple times and I'd say, 'Okay, I see,' but I really didn't know what they were talking about," said Peppina Lindfors '81, Finnish exchange student. But English was soon mastered, and native languages fell by the wayside. "It's almost hard for me to speak Finnish," said Lindfors. 'Tm used to speaking English." As their English improved, the students found warm, fri enclly people and memorable experiences in the U.S. All exchange students lived with a host family and agreed that the close quarters were a major advantage of exchange programs. "Staying with a family is the best way to visit a countiy," said Ulrike Stein '81, German exchange student. "If you tour, you don't meet people." When Frank Jung '81, arrived from Germany, his new family's children jumped up and down in the excitement of meeting him. "My family has been fantastic. I'm grateful I've had the opportw1ity to stay with them," he said. Host families also benefited from relationships with their guests. "It's a great experience," said Mark Ryerson '83, who became Stein's brother. "Ulrike's opinions aren't the viewpoints of ai1 average American student." School life as well as family life contributed to the development of close relationships. School in Germany, Brazil, and Finland, exchange students found, was more advanced than U.S. education. "School's way, way harder in Germany," said Jung. "You have three or four how·s of homework every night- there's no time for extracurricular activities." But time not spent on homework provided opportunities for making new friends. "There aren't musicals or speech contests in Germany," said Stein.

Yet members were able to get together to devour food from native countries, enjoy a Thanksgiving feast, and decorate the gym for Christmas Dance.

"Boy, these meetings are sure a bore." "Order . .. order . .. ! Let's get this show on the road," said the preside nt. ">Jow, what do you want to do ... ? And so went a typical Student Council meeting. According to a Comparative Government class survey, 80 percent of the students polled said the council did not fulfill its responsibilities. Although the council sponsored the Halloween and Homecoming dances, two movies, a student exchange with Lewis Central, a canned goods collection for the needy, and a bake sale, they attempted several ac tivities that were never completed. These projects included exchange programs with St. Albert and the Omaha schools, button sales, gifts for teachers of the month, recognition of a different student each week, and more. Their accomplishments seemed few in comparison to the previous year's group, which sponsored more than one activity every month. Many students complained about the change. "Usually the Student Cow1cil just did what they had to," said Tony Parks '82. "They never went out of their way for anything." The majority of members cl aimed the council suffered from a lack of leadership. "We just weren't as ac tive as we should have been. It seemed no one was willing to take charge and lead us," said member Tracey Bruner '82. Another problem was lack of communica tion with the student body. Only 16 percent of students polled could name the officers, and fewer yet were able to name representatives. "Even if the Student Council does something, they never let anyone know about it," said Steve Bowlds '81. Representatives also complained that when an activity was completed, it was due to the efforts of fou r or five people. "It seemed that everybody wanted things to get done and to take credit for them," said Carol Knight '81, 'but when it came right down to it, only a few people did all the hard work. " Problems also existed in individual class projects. To cover Prom costs, jmliors were forced to charge for favo rs and make the court pay for their dates' ticke ts.

This was the scene as 54 students took their turn to be recognized as ational Honor Society inductees. " I was so nervous that I thought I'd trip going up the stairs," said Shelli Phillips '82. Two weeks beforehand, students ran to their mailboxes to see if they had received an invitation to the ceremony. To get the prized announcement, they had to excel in scholarship, leadership, character, and general service. Some students, however, criticized the clubs' poor service, claiming the group did almost nothing all year. But sponsor Orville Miller defended the group. "If you're a true member, you don't have time to do anything for the society because you're involved with the rest of the school," he said. One group involved with all kinds of school activities was Courtesy Club. Members kept busy helping a t Open House, - "Finian's Rainbow," "The Stagedoor," Roadshow, graduation, and Honors Night. With a smile and frienclly welcome, they took tickets, directed visitors to seats, and served refreshments. Most girls provided more than 20 hours of service. "I enjoyed helping the school out, and although it didn't take a lot of time, I got to meet different people," said Mary Jerkovich '82. Key Club spent time giving service to the community. The 18 members participated in the Jerry Lewis Bowlathon and provided entertainment such as dancing, singing, and comedy for the Northcrest Rock-n-Rollathon to help the heart fund. "We spent four hours entertaining and a t one point the residents were singing with us around the piano," said Renee Gilson '83. "It made all of us feel good because we made them happy."

Antics of the -two staffs ranged fr m cramming 13 peopl e in a car bound for Taco Bell, to designing and testing a b icycle course in room 224, to asking KQ98 for a deadline night dedication to Smoley entitled "Tui·n 1ne Loose." Such craziness resulted from the close relationships formed as each staff strove for better publications. "vVe're like family-tJ1ey're my sisters," said Todd Townsend '82, one of on lv three bovs on the newspaper staff. Both groups shared frustrations as they struggled to overcome writer's block, searched for "quotable quotes," and experienced disappointment when a story was returned six times for revisions. "There's a lot of time and effort spent, but when I'm done, I know it's my best, and that's a great feeling," said Jackie Gioiello '81. Photographers, too, encountered frustrations. They struggled to keep track of almost 2,000 strips of negatives, reprinted to achieve contrast, and retook pic tures because of scratches, poor depth of fi eld, or bad focus. Although wi1ming 35 awards and the Swee pstakes Trophy at Journalism Day made many of the hassles worthwhile, staffers' m·1in goal was to surpass the 1980 book, a four-star All-Ame rican and one of 45 books chosen out of 3,000 as a National Showcase Sample. "This will be our first five-star book because we're trying for a mark of distinctio n in photography," said Eric Keith '81. After taking tJ1eir sixth four-star All-American, the newspaper staff garnered ten awards at the UNO Newspaper Contest, outdoing every oilier school there. " At tJ1e end we'd hear 'Geesh, them again?"' said Lori Kinney '83. During the UNO contest, Becky Gilbert '83, learned how work and fmstration can pay off. After the judge said, "You have to hear this first place sports story to appreciate its excell ence," Gilbert realized tJ1at the first words were hers, and tears fill ed he r eyes.

Sotmd like a business convention? Possibly. But this scene occurred nearly every weekend from late ovember to March at debate tournaments where 16 trophies were won in the team's best season ever. "In deba te there's a trophy at the end of the line and the reward of personal satisfaction for extensive work," said Dave Clark '82. To win their trophies, debate rs spent hundreds of hours researching the national topic:, Consumer Products Safety, which dealt with problems such as unsafe toys for children, cancer causing products, and automobile safety standards. Increasing students' interest in current affairs, the topic: helped inform them of world-wide events they had never before given any attention. ''I've become so news-oriented, I don't even switch radio stations when the news comes on," said Mike Polson '82. Debate also helped students analyze problems in other classes. "You learn to slow down and think out a problem logically," said Trip Allen '83. But debate also included time for fun and games. A Halloween party complete with a scavenger hunt, an apple bobbing contest, and Kentucky Fried Chicken, started the year. A hayrack ride, Christmas dinne r, toga party, and a tea for new debaters also gave the opportun ity to develop close friendships outside of class. Debaters weren't the only group winning awards and meeting on a more personal basis. Thespian students' oneact play "The Lesson" received an outstanding a t districts. "I wa<; so glad for Mrs. Dontc:hos when we go t the outstanding because she's worked so hard for the Drama Department," said Chris Kell ey '81. Ushe ring for the musicals "Chorus Line" and "Dancin" at the Orphewn and attending events such as "Charley's Aunt" at the Firehouse Dinner Thea ter gave Thespians the opportunity to meet outside of class. "Ushering was a really neat experi ence," said Brenda Sutherland '82.

From her own experience, she said she tried to convince the girls that to learn a dance, they needed to pay attention and stop gossiping during practice.

(TOP) Exhausting practices, fundraising giinmicks, and awkward mistakes fill year for pompon girls and flag team A s wind ~1ipp d.acro~s the fi eld'. filling the air with tl:e sound of fl appmg silks, 16 guls struggled to twirl seven-foot fl agpoles and march in step. The newest addition to the Marching Lynx, the fl ag corps was formed when director Jim Misner asked interested girls to sign up in the spring of '80. "When I first heard about the corps, it sparked my cmiosity, and I knew it would be fun after I saw how much enthusiasm all the girls had," said Cindv Thorton '82. Ca'ptain Ann Wear '82, immediately organized rehearsals and planned fund.raising for uniforms. "Our car washes were the most fun," said Mary Hoden '82. " \Ve had water fights and once the hose even broke! " Practices averaging 11 homs a week began two weeks before school started and continued throughout the fall . Occasionally, the clank of colliding poles could be heard, followed by embarrassed giggles. "The flagpol es towered over us; at times it seemed like we were in a battle with them," said Amy Ferguson '82. But Misner felt their practices paid off. "They certainly didn't pe1form like a first year addition to our band,'' he said. Pompon girls also did their share of practicing, spending three clays a week during the summer and an hom each school morning. "It's hard to get up and be the re by seven, but we know we need the practice and it pays off in the end," said Jodi Curttright '83. In addition to ordinary fundraising gimmicks, girls came up with the tmusual idea of selling bricks outside the cafeteria, on which students could place their memory mark. "We made $80 but the problem was ge tting people to paint their memories," said Stephanie Campbell '82. The girls also tried to use props, experimentincr with cowboy hats, chairs, and derbies. "We practiced hard so we felt good when teachers said we were the best squad they'd seen in four years," said Traci Heater '81. Like fl ag girls, the squad suffered through some awkward moments, such as the time one girl fell twice as she ran onto the field . "Sometimes it gets real embarrassing when we goof up, but it makes everyone smile and it breaks the monotony of the dances," said Jackie McEvoy '83. The pompon squad and the flag corps shared the exhaustion of practices and the hrn11or of awkward mistake , but almost none of them regretted the ir involvement. pompon and flag girls 69 Cheerleaders, Pep Band fire up fans; Pep Club struggles to get it together T.o the steadv heat se t hv the Pep Ba.nd drnms. 12 cheerleaders stomped and clapped, leading fired-up fans in chants of "We are AL." As the cheer ended, an outburst of wolf whistles and shrill yells filled the gym, proving Lynx spirit was alive. Although cheerl eaders appreciated such rousing support, they wished the same enthusiasm shown at games against crosstown rivals could have sparked at pep assemblies and away games. "People should realize team support is important to the athletes whether they're pl aying at home or on the road," said Missy Campbell '83. But cheerleaders let the teams know they were proud of them, whether they played at home or away, win or lose. One Februa1y morning, the boys' and girls' basketball teams were treated to a homemade breakfast. Cheerleaders traveled from house to house, rousing sleepy-eyed pl ayers from their beds and escorting them to the End Zone. With only a towel wrapped around him, one unsuspecting player walked out of the shower and was greeted by the giggling, early morning visitors. "Everyone enjoyed the breakfast," said Molly Daley '82. " It was a great way to show the players they were appreciated." Pep Band also worked to boost school spirit at home games. "We do everything we can to get the crowd fired up," said Dan Brown '81. Pep Band members agreed they were glad to do th eir part for the school. "I like being in Pep Band because we help the cheerl eaders get the crowd excited," said Jim Beck '82. "When the crowd gets involved, the athletes become more confident and play better." Pep Club also started the year with big plans, determined to make the group more visible. Members marched in Homecoming Parade, selling pom pons and red cowboy hats. For ba5ketball season, the girls asked the media center to make blue placards spelling out "shhh," "lucky," and "nice hoop." But the signs waved only once, at an AL-TJ basketball game. "Pep Club cilsappeared because of the lack of interest shown by members," said co-captain Tracey Bruner '82. "A lot of people wondered if one still existed. " Yet, any spirit sparked by cheerleade rs, Pep Band, or Pep Club was appreciated and welcomed by athletes. "Cheerleaders and Pep Band help a lot," said Todd Shanks '81. "No matter how we play, they're always behind us 100 percent. " 70 organizations On to State! Wrestling cheerl eade rs Jackie .J nhn ,on. Con ni e '.vlaclscn. Lori K11rth. Fonda Ogren.

Even though her parents pla nned to help her pay for collecre, she knew that every little bit of aid would help. "Is it worth it?" she wondered as she dragged her pen across an application, filling out for the tenth time her birthdate, social security nwnber, and a self-evaluation paragraph. "I fill ed out my applications a t night after I did my homework," said Mary Ann Knott '81. "One night I was so exhausted that I fell asleep at the machine." Even though filling out applications became tedious, grants, loan<>, a nd scholarships were the only way some students could afford college. "My parents said they would help me," '•, \~ ~· said \Vanda Wright '81, "but I come from such a large family that receiving a grant really took the pressure off them." Those who couldn't get financial aid depended upon full or part-time jobs. "I hope to get a few scholarships," said Lynn Hakenson '81, "but I'm working two jobs right now jttst to be sure I'll have the money for everything I'll need." Of 45 students surveyed, .30 ad rn i tted they had never realized how expensive college and all its extras could be. "I never thourrht about paying for anything besides my room and tuition," said Sandy Boham '81. "Now I'm getting le tte rs on all sorts of other things I need." But no matter what the cost, 40 students agreed that even if they couldn't get help, they wouldn't pa<;s up college. "Even if I had to pay for it myse lf, I'd work until I got enough money,'' said Troy Shaw '81. As the cost of higher education continued to skyrocket, many seemed willing to do anything necessary to afford it. NRD 1HE Rf.AL llMS'f BEfJ MNDWK.11. Shaking hands with Hevere nd Brewe r.

But as we searched for new fac es, we sometimes overlooked people who had much to offer us. "Dull! " we claimed. "No one around here is anywhere near exciting. " But when we looked, we some times discovered fa~cinating people all around us. In fact, we might have passed them in the halls every day. Little did we know, for example, that outside of school, Mark Ryan '82, used his talents to transform an old warehouse into an office building; Carol Knight '81 , and her horse Thunder barrel-raced to rece ive over 30 ribbons and trophies; and Alan Poulos '81, skateboarded to win several state awar ~ and an appearance on WOWT's " Kidscene." Interesting idea~ swam in the heads of students like Ge ri Eicher '82. She beli eved there was more to life than th e everyday struggle, something more worthwhil e-her life following the will of God. "Everyone's so apathetic. Seems like all anyone's out for is themselves," complained those of us who parti cipated in extra-curri cular activities. Yet we often fail ed to recognize students like Kathy Kimball '83, who spent free time candystriping at Jenny Edmundson Hospital. Teachers were involved, too. How many times did we go in after school expecting them to be the re? John Cairns, who ofte n worked past 7 p. m. on media, was just one example of many dedicated teachers. Same faces, same names- sometimes it seemed like no one out there cared, or was worth our interest. But when we looked pa~t the face and the name, we often discovered a per·mn we wanted to know more about-a person who all the time had been right before our very eyes. 84 people Down-home country boys Ma tt Stubblefi e ld a nd Bill Hohneke relax on the grass in front of th e building a t the outdoor pep assembly.

One hundred of them savored the pleasure of freedom in the halls, sitting in the student lounge with fri ends, or studying in the library anytime they wanted to instead of reporting to study hall! For the first time, sophomores were given honor passes first quarter, based on grades in jw1ior high. In the past, all sophs were required to report to study halls and hope fo r an honor pass next quarter. Most sophs liked the change. "Honor passes let me study in a relaxed place like the sh1dent lounge. It's a lot better than sitting in sh1dy hall," said Kim Behrens '83. Students with honor passes spent their extra time in various ways. Some studie.d to aet homework out of the way, others b roamed the halls, while still others sat in the lounge talking and laughing with Deep con ce ntratioi~ marks the face of Joe .DiB!asi as he rolls the dice fo r Dungeons and Drngons m study hall (LEFT) Longing for peace and quiet, Mam Castillio takes the opportunity to study in the Library instead of reporting to study hall. (BELOW) f1i encls. "You can't study all the time; it gets too boring," said Kim Heater '83. \Vhen the quarter ended, students felt the pressme to receive another honor pass. "My parents ask me if I'm going to get another honor pa5s. If I don't, I'll get lectmed on how I didn't study enough,". said Theresa Pogge '83. But not all the pressure came from parents, and honor passes weren't the only motivation to succeed. "I pressure myself to do well. I feel satisfaction if I get good grades," said Shelly Gilmore '83. Although most liked the idea of honor passes, some said they were unfair. Some sophomores thought that passes should be based on the schedule load students take, as well as their grades. " I don't think it's fair. Some kids get a pass for taking a minimwn of easy courses and others take a full load and don't get a pass," said Susie Branigan '83. "There should be a way to make the system more fair." As the quarter drew to a close, though , sophomores with a 3.5 grade-point average once again looked forward to receiving an honor pass and heading back to the student lounge for a relaxed and quiet study hour. honor passes 87 Sweet eelebrations .

In the middle of the locker they hung the message "Happy Birthday Sweet 16 ... Such escapades often occurred before school as sophomores helped each othe r celebrate the magical birthday they had looked forward to for vears. Most anticipated a new independence. "It makes me feel older somehow. My mother thinks so too because now I have to do more housework," said Jodi Curttright '83. Others were excited about the " traditional " joys. "I can finally get my license and a real job. I'm also allowed to elate more," said Kathy Kimball '83. " It's an exciting time for me." Although most students were excited about the thought of becoming 16, some didn't think it was a major turninrr point. "It's not too exciting to me. You just be88 sophomores come a year olde r. " said Sonya Side bottom '83. Just as students had diffe rent expectations for their sixteenth year, they celebrated their birthdays in ways that were special to them. "TI1e first tl-iing I did was to cret my license. Later on, I had a party with some fri nd~ who stayed overnight," said Susie Branigan '83. Some preferred quiet celebrations to big parties. "I stayed home and celebrated witl1 my parents," said Jeff Beck '83. " I had a nice, quiet time." \ Vhile sophomores held different views about the meaning and celebration of "Sweet Sixteen," it was an awaited and anticipated time for most.

What do you get? o, not a mass arrest, but a scene that took place at one of the more than 80 Explorer posts in the metro area. Explorer posts gave teens between the ages of 14 and 20 an opportunity to explore careers ranging from engineering to veterinary medicine and get "hands on" training in specialized fields of interest through projects, guest speake rs, and tours. The entry fee was $:3.50 each year, and included a subscription to "Exploring Magazine," insurance, and the chance to participate in all local and national events. "Explorers ha5 given me the chance to learn what it's like to be in law," said Becky Gilbert '83, who planned to be an attorney for juvenile cases. As a participant in a chemistry post, Mark Rverson '83, and fellow members exrim ~t d at Internorth Labs with petroleum hydrocracking, a process in which " Is the camera in focus?"

"Explorers gives us a chance to experiment with things that other c.:lubs don't have the facilities for," said Ryerson. Another post based at the Cable TV station explored careers in television broadca5ting and produced a television program for teens. " I hope to learn the background of broadca~ting and later go on and get my license as a broadcaster," said Lowell Bryant '83, a member. Because they were not yet involved in jobs and exi:racurricular activities, many sophomores became interested in Explorers after receiving informative letters from post leaders. "I thought it would be a neat experience because I've alwavs wanted to learn bow I can help animals," said Susan Gaffney '83, a member of the veterinary medicine post. Overall, sophomores recommended the program for those debating a career. " I still don't know what specific job I want to go into, but now I know it will have to do with the law," said Jackie McEvoy '83, a member of the law post.

Our teacher just calmly slammed on the brake and almost gave us all whiplash 1 .. After nine weeks of class, four and onehalf weeks of simulator, and four and onehalf weeks of driving, most students didn't remember the worksheets, lectures, and tests, or the five steps in the Smith system of driving. But they did remember the screw ups, false starts, accidents, and the near catastrophes. Susie Welch '83, recalled an unusual experience. "'vVe were driving for the first time on Broadway. Another girl was at the wheel and we were stopped at a stoplight when a car rammed our rear end. Mr. Stuhl went out and talked to him, but as soon as he got back into our car, the other man rammed us again! That's one time I won't forget!" she said. Throughout Drivers Education, students we re told statistics on teenage accide nts, drunk driving, and accidents involving fa92 sophomores tigue. Although .30 percent of all accide nts in vol ve teenaged drive rs. most thought. ·'It can 't happe n to me." Cha rl e s Fe trow '8.3. found that this wasn't true. "I had only gotten my license four days before I got into an accident. I can't beli eve it happened," he said. Some sophomores didn't even wait to get out of Drivers Ed. to have their first accident, or their first close call. Lisa 'vVickman '8.3, will always remember an incident when a driver in her car nearly ran 1 into an open car door and knocked over the lady getting out. Mr. Stu.hi took charge and righted the situation by grabbing the steering wheel and swerving out of the way. Despite these close calls and harrowi1w b experiences, most sophomores made it through Drivers Education, received their licenses, and began to face the perils of the road on their own. Thrilled with his new drivers license, Jeff Ballenger jumps for joy outside the test cente r at the armory.

Although considered a parent-teacher night, Open House '80 attracted man:' sophomores who gave their parents the grand tour and introduced them to teachers. " I was proud to show my pa rents around. 111ere is so much more freedom here than there was in jtmior high, and I like mv teachers better than I ever have, " said Becky Gilbert '83. Others also viewed the night with pride. ·'It wa~ great. I got to show my parents the school and enjoy the sights," said Miss:' Campbell '83. \Vith such positive feelings, students said they felt little or no apprehension when they introduced their parents to teachers. "It didn't bother me a bit to be in the same room when my parents talked to teachers," said Scott Rathman '83. Many sophomores who didn't bring their parents later wished thev had. " I '..Vish I would have brought m :' mother arow1d.

These, along with countless othe r phrases, could describe an ordinary teenager's bedroom. Bedrooms, as well as cars, hairstyles, and clothes, varied as much as their owners' personalities. Bob Speight '82, lived in a room with candy wrappers on the floor, an unmade bed, and piles of clothes and school books in the corner. Though some might consider the inhabitant of such a room to be a slob, Speight rncln't consider himself messy. " I get home, throw my books and my clothes on the floor, and go to bed. I don't have time to d ean my room," he said. Paula Hartfield '82, had a bedroom that conveyed a much djfferent picture. As she walked into her room each night, she was met by a wall of shelves fill ed with her memories, trophies, and awards; a hideaway bed made with crates; and big green pillows for relaxing while listening to her stereo. Hartfield once shared a room decorated by her sister. \Vhen her sister moved out, she decided to change the -pink to green and make the room look more like her. 'Tm not the kind of person who likes a pink room," Hartfield said. " I changed it so I could have a place to call my own. Its color reflects my moods." Besides cherishing the privacy, students enjoyed the freedom they had behind the closed doors of their room. They listened to whatever rarno station they liked, talked on the phone for homs, or arranged the fmniture whatever way suited them without their parents interfering. "My parents don't even ventme into my room unless it's to bring in my clean clothes,'' said David Nelson '82. \ 1 Vhether a person's bedroom provided a place of seclusion or just a place to rest weary bones, it was most important to students as a place of their own. Satisfying the hunger pains of his roommate Mitzi, David Nelson treats her to an after-s ·hool snack.

At one time during the football , volleyball, cross-country and gymnasti cs season, 1.3 seriously injured athletes hobbled down the halls. "Most of us were out of shape from summer vacation," said Matt McColl ough '82, a football player who tore a ligament in his ankle. Many students agreed that injuries were on the increase. Cross-country teams had three injuries as compared to one in 1979. Four voll eyball players suffered injuries compared to two last year. " The coaches were always ask ing whether we were faking it because we didn't want to practice," said Jill Ly tten '82, who also tore a ligament. Although athletes knew that a remiury could seriously affect them later, many said they pla1med to play again the next year. "I may not be able to play basketball now, but I'm determined to play during my senior year," said Brad Gibson '82, who had a torn cartilage removed.

(LEFT) Althouah ·they clidn't usually consider the consequences before they cut a class, sh1dents who were caught got a rude awakening, especially after the third offense. At that point, according to the new Code of Conduct passed by the school board to unify discipline throughout. the system, sh1dents were required to make up missed time with in-house suspension. Although in-house was met with enthusiasm by teachers, sh1dents didn't give it such a warm welcome. "In-house is cmel and unusual punishment," said Jeff Behrenclsen '82. "'We're not children, and shouldn't be treated as such. In-house should be eliminated." 111is clreaclecl punishment required the offender to make up time in a silent room monitored by a teacher. There, he was expected to complete all homework sent by instructors. \Vi th talkina, sitting icily, and taking unsupervised breaks absolutely prohibited, sh1clents spent an agonizing clay making amends for their wrongs. After a clay of such agony, offenders hoped to never repeat in-house. "It was boring enough that I sure don't want to go back," said Jamie Rash '82. Administrators were pleased with these results and hoped that in-house suspension would continue to be successful. "I think in-house has been a real hit. Only about 10 per cent repeat.

"Schoolwork does interfere with church, but most teachers are pretty understanding when vou hand in a late paper," said Pam t~r 'S2. Instead of being forced, many chose to attend church, according to a survey of 60 juniors. "Going to church and listening to the sem1on brings me closer to Goel," said Laura Livengood '82. Churches offered activities such as choirs, holiday parties, camps, bible study, and sports, which gave teens an opportunity to meet people of their own age and of the same religious background. "We have a lot of ftm together working at church because we know we're doing it for Goel," said Mike Johnson '82. Religion also played an important part in students' everyday lives.

" I was brought up to attend my church ever since I was a little kid and I wouldn't change," said Jack Branigan '82. Wanting answers to problems with school, parents, and friends, students turned to Goel and the Bible. " I say a secret prayer whenever I need some help with my problems," said Beth Allerton '82.

Jeff and I are. goin<r to have a baby girl next week! vVe're keeping her only four weeks, though; then om teacher is going to crack her open and throw her away. " For students in Bill vVillard's Marriage and Family class, such reports to parents were common. The class was designed to help students realize and learn to cope with the problems of marriage. Sh1dents were required to select a mate, go through a mock marriage ceremony, and together complete eight packets dealing with problems such as making a budget, buying a house, and coping with marital conflicts. Probably the most traumatic packet was the addition of a new famil y member, which suddenly confronted students with financial and psychological burdens. "We had to price and budget for all the baby clothes, food, diapers, and medical xp nses," said Jean Crawley '82. For these students, their new bundle of joy took the shape of a small green egg. According to Willard, the egg was chosen because of its difficulty to duplicate and its fragileness. Sh1dents were required to bring their babies to school every day and carry them to each class. Proud moms and dads were often seen carrying Junior in an improvised infant seat made of Kleenex and a Tupperware bowl. Fellow classmates were cooperative in Willard's effort to make the class realistic. Just as small children often wander off if unsupervised, the eggs had a strange habit of disappearing ~.vhen tmattended. One case of egg-napping occurred when Dave Boyd '81, grabbed senior Kav elson 's babv and put her in a locker. in the boys' locker room. TI1e agitated mother made it clear to Boyd that she wouldn 't stand for that sort of nonsense. " I told him that I hoped everyone was decent in there because I was going in to get my Katie," said Nelson. One unlucky coupl e seemed destined to remain childless. Erik King '81 , and Karen Hundtofte '8:2 , suffered the death of the ir 10-minute old egg and three egg-nappings of their second child. A ransom note accompanied the first disappearance and threatened, "If you ever want to see him again, you must sing 'Mary had a Little Lamb' in two-part harmony for the sixth hom math class." When the fom weeks came to an end, parting with the offspring was an emotional experience. Coupl es solemnly tapped their egg on the desk and then, with a sudden burst of courage, shut their eyes and cracked the baby open. Thev cautiously smelled the ruins of their so~s and daughters and breathed a sigh of relief. 'Tm so glad my Katie wasn't rotten," elson said. Afte r the heartbreaks and hassles. most students felt the class would prove beneficial. Amy Dmham '82, summed up he r feelings: "It's going to help quite a bit.

Although some people believed seniors were too mature for this type of shenanigan, AL sh.1dents proved them wrong.

" Like all sports that have passed the test of time, teepeeing was governed by welldefined rules. Those rules, according to the pros, were as follows: 1. Never teepee from spite. Decorate only the houses of friends. 2. Never attack tmtil after midnight. 3. Always have an easily accessible ge taway vehjcJe. 4. Use lots of colorful ammunition. Although these regulations weren't always followed, students agreed the rul es were necessary to make teepeeing a harmless game of fun. "It's not fun to teepee out of spite, but it's great for revenge on people who have teepeed my fri end's and my houses," said David Wood '81.

Practically his whole paycheck had been drained by a high school keepsake. Almost all seniors were aware that they were pa:vin<T more than any previous class to finish their last year of " free" education. " My parents paid for all the necessities like cap and gown, pictures, and graduation clothes, which came up to approximately $200," said ar ' Ann Hanusa '81. But Hanusa was one of the exceptions. Although some parents helped, rising inflation kept most of them from contributing a~ much as p<'irents had in the past. "There's never enough money anyway, but with senior expenses, you've almost got to go on welfare," said David Tuttle '81. " Eve ry thing fo r graduation tha t I bought came out of my own pocket," said Brenda Dorsett '81. Senior pichU"es ranged from $55 to $135 for the cheapest packet, depending on the photo<Trapher, compared to $50 to $85 two years ago. Because of such high prices, many students gave their business to amatem photographers who moonlighted with a camera instead of going to well establishecl professionals who had received all the business in the past. "My parents and I hunted around until we fotu1d a resaonable price for my pichll'es," said Michelle Owen '81. Although some costs nearl:v doubled, cap and gown rental rose from $16 to onl:v $17 in two :vears. Students, however, agreed that the price was still too high for working seniors. "I realize that :vou have to pay for gown rentals, but $17 is still a lot to ask students to pa:v," said Jern1ifer Kinne:v '81. Even though a class t-shirt, ring, and annotmcements were not necessar:v items, most students bought them because the:v were part of a tradition. "I bought exi ra items so I'll have something to remember the good times I had and because mv friends and relatives bowrht them when the:v were in high school," said Joan Yochem '81.

The audi nce roared for more. Each of the 15 senior boys vying for the title of Mr. Lincoln 1981, delighted the audience with similar antics in the auditorium March 6. Brainstormed by Nancy Rogic '81, the pageant became the biggest moneymaking project the Senior Class developed, netting over $500 for graduation expenses. Competition in three different categories included suits, shorts, and togas. In the so-call ed shorts competition, the boys displayed their creativity with racy heartprinted underwear, falling-down shorts, and open fli es. Ranging from a pale pink piggy to a hard-core chain gang member, unique toga costumes made for the most hilarious event of the even ing. "I di<ln't credit the guys with much imagination," said Lori Johnson '81 , "but, boy, was I !'>urprised! " To end the program, the five finalists answered a question pulled from a hat. With118 seniors out a moment's h esitation , David \Vettengel answe red his question , "If you could ~o out with any teache r at AL, who would it be and whv?" "It would be Penny Hutchison," he said, "because she looks like a fun date." (She was eight months pregnant.) But his cute answer didn't charm the judges a5 they declared Kerry Mortensen the winner, Cory Amend first runner-up, Wettengel second runner-up, Rew Goodenow third nmner-up, and David Wood fourth runner-up. After Mortensen paraded to " Macho Man," fans and parents left, declaring the tmusual event a success. " It was great to see the guys get out there and make fools of themselves," said Janet Overman '81.

Of 100 students surveyed, 78 said sports such as jogging provided a way to get off on the ir own, le t everything go, and think out the ir troubles. ·'When I've had a hard day, I enjoy doing something that takes a lot of ene rgy," said Lori Johnson '81. "It takes my mind off of the everyday hassles." Students enjoyed the most popular sports, jogging and racquetball, because they cou ld he played yea r-round . "I like to go down to the YMCA and work up a good sweat when it's blizzarding outside," said Dan He rrington '81. Sports also oflered a way to meet new _ people. "The re are so many inte resting people who jog that sometimes it becomes a social eve nt," said Danny Knotek '8 1. 120 seniors Another sport students enjoyed was bowling. After games and dances, students gathered at the alley for food, drinks, and a crazy game with frie nds. "We had a lot of fun bowling after Christmas Dance ," said Chris Higginbotham '81. But not all students chose such fami liar sports to occupy free mome nts. Eric \1oore '82, became involved as a coach , refe ree, and participant in rope pulling, a tvpe of tug-of-war. A rope pulling team consisted of e ight competitors and two coaches, who worked togethe r to pe rfect skills in breathing, positioning, and rhythm . Bill Lewis '82, a membe r of the Coors Crusaders Tug O' \Var team, stressed that skill was much more important than the weight of the team, especiaJly since the team's weight cou ld change be tween tourname nts. "We played a bunch of tall, skinny guys from Corn ing during the Midwest Tourname nt. Even though we had more we ight, they had be tte r technique and they won," said Lewis. Eve n girls got involved in this unusual sport. "My cousin caJled me and asked if I wanted to be on a girls' tug o' war team," said Colleen Hanafan '82. " It was something weird that I've never done before, so I decided to try it. " No matte r what the activity or the reason for participating, students found that out-of-school sports we re a necessary and enjoyable addition to everyday life.

He hurriedly adjusted the focus as the team prepared to score their first touchdown. Just after the receiver rushed across the goal line, the camera clicked off as its film ran out. The student rewound the tape so that it would be ready to show the team by Monday. "This seems out of focus." James Floyd carefully adjusts the video recorder so he will have a clear picture of the library. (BELOW) Videotaping was one of the complicated, fascinating aspects of the world of media. Students who took media said it taught them things they wouldn't learn in an ordinary class. "I've learned a lot about ~nning new kinds of cameras and setting up videos," said Tom Kron '81. "It's different from any other class I've had." Media specialist John Cairns explained the difference. "What is so unique about the class is that the kids take an idea and make it come to life," he said. "Thev use tapes, slides, posters, and videos to ~ake their ideas live." To bring their ideas to life, students spent many tedious hours working. As of February 28, they had videotaped over 785 hours of plays, classroom activities, speeches, debates, and sports events. Students also designed and created poste rs and other displays for teachers, producing 16,363 units by March. And students were quick to point out that since Cairns was a perfectionist, each unit had to be done right. "It was hard to please him," said Kevin Kinney '82. "I was always doing work over and over again. It got very frustrating, but the work and time paid off. " Perhaps sh1dents didn't mind working hard for Cairns because they knew he worked even harder. He was often seen late after school in room 220, where he spent an average of 60 hours a week working on production. "He's very dedicated and likes things to go just right," said Monty Gartin '82. "He also likes us to be just as efficient." media center 123 Robert Capel Principal Paul Krogh .-\ssistant Principal Don .\lloxley Assistant Principal Tim Alki.-e .\Ila thematics Clark Allen Woods . .\ll etals Larry Argersinger Phvsical Education Mike Batten Phvsical Education Wi.lliam Beasley Physical Education Miriam Boyd Art Jack Boylan Electronics Jean Brewer English Wilda Briggs Individual Progress Robert Burns Tvping Francis Burritt Career Cente r Dorothy Button Lihrarian Connie Byrnes \lathematics John Cairns .\lledia Terrell Clinton Environme nt Prob.

Every wing of the building fill ed with such talk as the year quickly progressed to its naturally hec tic state. We groaned and complained about homework , projects, and research, seldom appreciating the hours of e ffort faculty members spent to give us a good education. Administrators worked hard to be sure all of our needs were met. For the fi rst time, gifted students were offered exceptional learning opportunities with th e addition of TAG English, and an extra teache r joined th e Special Eel. D epartment to work with the learn ing disabled. P.E. teachers worked to enliven inte rest by devising an elective program which all owed us to concentrate on favorite sports and quench our curiosity about th ose we wanted to try fo r the first time. Those of us ·prone to skipping, belligerence, or generall y raising a rnckus, found ourselves fac ing the most consistent disciplinary measures we'd seen in years with the addition of Vice Principal Paul Krogh and a new code of conduct. Sitting silent for an entire day in the in-house suspension room made more than a few of us think twice about repeating our · offenses, and generally assured that we go t as much as possible out of a school day. All of these new programs helped achieve positive results, such as ITED scores which ranked AL juniors in the top 95 percentile of the nation. Although it was easy to complain tha t a c lass was too dull or that teachers didn't care, taking a closer look reminded us of what was right before our very eyes all the time- an education to be proud of. 132 academics "Just forget about studying for this one.

What would this committee most likelv have changed? First, students would have outlawed homework, the most hated, yet mandatory, factor of school life. "Homework gets so monotonous that I could scream." said Sheik _\rrick '132., .. especially on Thursday nights when I have to study for my weekly vocabulary and spelling tests." Next, essentials such as lectures, research papers, pop quizzes, referrals, tests, and all the other necessities that cause more pain than plea5ure would have been eradicated. "Chemistry lectures are good for one thing-catching some ZZZ's! " said Brad A night crammed with homework I ies ahead for Kellv Murray. (ABOVE) Thinking that two complete changes in 40 minutes is a hassle, Sheri Flannery ties her tennies. (RIC I-IT) 134 special feature Gibson '82. Another change students would have demanded wa~ respect and trust as maturing adolescents. "I get sick of being treated like a gradeschooler in high school," said Amy Ferguson '82. " I think the biggest insult to our mahu-ity is alphabetical seating, and I also consider myself responsible enough to handle going through the halls without a pass." Kevin Sass '81, also claimed teache rs weren't trusting enough. "It ticks me off when teachers blame me for things I don't do and refuse to believe the truth," he said. Believe it or not, many students also would have voted for more uninterrupted study time. "I get sick and tired of the office yelling on the intercom and interrupting classes or stuclv halls ... said Robe rt Christenst n ·13 1. Yet another change would have dealt with P.E. cla-;ses. Many students contended that the necessity of dressing every clay was ridiculous, considering the fact that -\L was the only hi~h school in the C R area required to do so. " It seems senseless that we have to dress for things like ping-pong that don't even require it," said Shelly White '83. Although administrators would have expected only changes that made the lives of students ea~ie , they would have been surprised when they read the change Kim Bargenquast '82, suggested. " I'd find a way to ptmish those brats who pull Mr. Marshall's seeing-eye clog's tail," she said. No doubt, students would have changed many aspects of school life to eliminate the things people hate.

At the same time, four flustered and equally disgmntled counselors waded through stacks of clerical work, putting in up to 12 hours a day. "The problem doesn't lie in scheduling," explained counselor Richard Schoeppner. "It lies in the changing of schedules." While cotmselors placed the blame on students' changing their minds, students accused counselors of forci.ng classes on them. "Because counselors are the elders, students don't know how to say no to them," said Colleen Hanafan '82. "So we end up with classes we don't want." Counselor George Lindsay stated, however, that sometimes the classes students lea5t wanted turned out to be something they really needed. "When a student tells me 'I don't !1eed this class,' I ask him how he knows what he'll need ten years from now. We can't forsee the future so a counselor's general recommendation is to be prepared to head in any direction." Students also claimed counselors didn't listen to them when they expressed definite needs. "I was always interested in journalism, but instead of encouraging me in. classes that pertained to this, I found counselors placing emphasis on math and science," said Carol Knight '81. Yet counselors denied this accusation. "We always try to pair kids with what they plan to do in the future," said counselor Lucile Hoffman. "The only time we discourage students is if they have a very unrealistic view of their potential. For example, if I get a student who gets C's and D's in math and wants to be an architect, I encourage him to try other fie lds in which he could be more adept." Students also accused counselors of refi.L5ing to take the necessary time to change schedules. "It's easier for them to refuse than to change your schedule," said Pete Phillips '82. But counselors considered this gripe untrue. "If a change is legitimate, we try to the best of our ability to grant it," said Lindsay. "But if it's some Mickey Mouse deal whe re a student wants to transfer so that 136 special feature he can be with his fri end5 or because he thinks the class is too much work, we refuse the change." Hoffman felt that one answer to the scheduling problems lay in devising a program whe re changes are not allowed. "Students should spend more time carefully pla1ming schedules with both their parents and their counselors," she said. "That way fixed, firm decisions would be made and fewer changes would result. " "If students knew they wouldn't be allowed to change, maybe they'd take this extra planning time," she said. "Now I spend more time adjusting schedules than doing what I feel is much more important-working with students who have real emotional or learning disabilities." Sh1dents thought that if counselors informed them better, scheduling hassles would be allevia ted. "If counselors had unified mies and took more time explaining class possibilities, the problem would be solved," said Dan Knotek '81. As the first week of second semester rolled out of sight, the frustrated crowd outside the cotmseling office also disappeared, but everyone felt certain that the lines would reappear unless steps were taken to solve the problem.

Called the mirror exercise, this activity occurred in seventh hour drama class, where students practiced the art of self-expression. Students all over the building, in art, speech, drama, and journalism c:I asses learned to express their feelings and interact with others. In the mirror exercise, for example, one student became the leader, and the other, the mirror. \t\fhile staring only into the eyes of the leader, the mirror attempted to duplicate the inner feelings which the leader's movements expressed. "I felt silly at first, but then it started to mean something to me. It helped me to express my deepest inner feelings, and improved my concentration," said Floyd Stanley '81. \t\fhile drama students expressed themselves without talking, speech students used verbal expression. They held a mock convention, in which Presidential candidates, Chris Kelley '81, Nancy Rogic '81, and Amy Anderson '81, competed. Each class was required to write its own platform and then had the chance to hear the platforms of the two other classes. The platforms addressed such topics as marijuana, the E.R.A., abortion, defense, drinking age, and the draft. If a student didn't agree with his class's platform, he could give his support to that of another class. "Since I'm really conservative and my class's platform was extremely liberal, I was glad we go t to choose which platform we would rather support," said Lori Jankiewicz '81. Jomnalism students also tried verbal expression before writing. They worked on interviewing, learning how to open up others with the goal of getting good material for stories. Local journalism celebrities and profes138 academics sionals were asked to come in so tha t a student could interview them in front of the c:Iass and la ter be critiqued on his interview. Dave \Vingert from vVOW, Gary Kerr from Channel 6 News and Dave Sanders from Channel .3 News, were among the intervi ewees. Finally, students began writing feature stories on subjects of their choice. Tammy vVelbourn '81, for example, wrote about teenage shyness. "It was hard to get a nswers from the students. They beat around the bu<>h because they didn 't want to admit the ir shyness," said Welhoum. "But once I got into a conversation with them, they started to open up.

Under the program, students were given the opportunity each month to choose one of five activities. 111roughout the year ten sports were offered, including basketball, softball, handball, tennis, ping pong, dancing, golf, weight training, badminton, and powder puff football. "I think the system gives students more variety and a chance to meet new teachers and make more friends," said Annette Collins '81. P.E. teachers said they started the program so that they could instruct in their areas of expertise and increase student interest. Most students believed the idea was a good one. " I think the larger variety makes \ P.E. much more interesting now," said Mindy Briggs '82. Many students polled said that the new elective system helped them improve their grades. "It helps P.E. grades," said Dave Borwick '82, "because students are playing sports they enjoy and don't skip class as much." Sh1dents were especially glad the program gave them the opporhmity to change teachers each month. "It really helps not to be tied down to one teacher all year," said Alan Poulos '81. "If you have a personality problem with a teacher, you feel better knowing you can change to someone else at the end of four weeks." Sh1dents also appreciated being exposed to lifetime sports, such as tennis, golf, and dancing, before their senior year. "Last year at least half the graduating class didn't even know how to dance correctly," said Mary Harding '81. " I think that the program prepares students for the years after graduation." The only problem students stressed was that the popularity of some classes caused them to fill up so quicklv that participants were sometimes stuck with a class thev didn't like. "You have to move really quickly if you want to sign up for a favorite class, or you miss out," said Shelley Bostwick '82. "It really bugged me when I got sh1ck with girls' basketball, when I really wanted handball," said Beth Allerton '82. But that problem would be solved as the year went along, according to teachers.

"Sometimes there is too much," said Chris Hobbs '83. "I can't handle all of those words!" But almost everyone agreed that the class taught them to voice their opinion. "We would be talking about something and all of a sudden, Mr. Johnson would stop, point at someone, and ask what that pe rson was thinking," said Swartz. Some students, however, felt intimidated at times during discussion. " It's embarrassing because you don't know what to say, and there's the possibility you might be thinking about something else!" said Mary Jo Rogic '83. Although most students said that the knowledge they were getting was well worth the ex.1:ra effort, a few students dropped TAG, fearing the work load. "The amount of work would have hurt the rest of my grades," said Heidi Finerty '83. " I just didn't want to take that chance." Everyone agreed that one of the unusual a5pects of the class was the freedom from deadlines students were given.

"Sometimes when things aren't going well, I turn on the radio, and if good songs are playing, I forget what is upsetting me," said Denise Winchester '83 .

(ABOVE RIGHT) sports 159 a closer look ... at athletic problems ffe're lookin' for some wins W hy hasn't the football team had a winning record in almost a decade? What's wrong with the basketball program? As these questions became prevalent in Cow1c:il Bluffs, a committee of coaches and private citizens began to investiaate and suggest improvements in the athle tic: program. "People finally got tired of losing. We weren't getting beaten; we were getting humiliated," said Coach John Moore. Formed by Superintendent Raj Chopra, the committee compared Council Bluffs athletics to those of other schools, so tha t they could eventually make recommendations for improvements to the sch ool board. Prior to the first committee meeting, coaches from all over the city pre pared a five-page list of suggestions for the junior and senior high programs. They empha<;ized two problems in their report: first, that all schools needed bette r quality equipment, and second, that fundamentals should be taught at a younger age, specifically through little leacrue and junior high programs. · The report contained several quotes from coaches, but no one would claim responsibliity for specific: quotes, many saying they feared administrative pressure. " . .. It is unforhmate that we ask our athle te s to compete in the me tro when our facilities are ten percent what the other schools have. It is like sencilng an army armed with sling shots against one w ith M16 rifles . . . ," said one AL coach. One large improvement came, however, just as the committee formed. The weight room wa-; moved from a tiny 10'xl2' area to the spac:iott5 gym balcony, and $2,500 worth of new equipment was added. "I like it a lot. It gives more people an opporhmity to work out because of the space and adciltion of equipment," said Brad Gibson '82. To form a link between the junior and senior high programs, the committee was almost certain to recommend to the board that junior high coaches be responsible to senior high coaches. "Now jtmior high coaches are respon160 special feature sible to the principal, not the senior high head coach. There needs to be continuity between the two," said committee member Tom Carrithers. Another suggestion was to switch empha-;is away from winning to a mastery of the basic: skills. Then, when athletes reached high school, they could concentrate on technique instead of fundamentals. " I think the little league programs are very important. We need more of them so kids can get the basics earlier," said Coach Larry Argersinger. The committee also suggested longer playing schedules _at the junior high level to give more kids a chance to compete. "We play half as many games as the me tro schools. Kids who don't play lose inte re st and drop out," said Canithe rs. vVhatever the final suggestions, at last something wa<; being clone to discover the answers. With the forming of an athletic committee a<; well as city-wide cooperation of coaches, AL players and fans hoped they might see a winning basketball and football program in a few years. ---------------------------- "Work 'em!" screams Coach Clark . .\lien during the wrestling match with TJ.

Several · players said their first outing of the season, the Sioux City Tournament, c~used them to lose confidence in their ability when they dropped all three matches. "We became so frustrated because we weren't playing up to our potential. We lost to teams that had half our ability," said Linda Farrell '81. Such teams as South, Bellevue East, and Northwest defeated a much stronger Lynx team. "We would really cream opponents the first game. Then we would let up on them and lose the second game," said Carol Knight '81. "Finally we broke concentration in tile third game and beat ourselves."

"She started working us hard at the end of the season to force us to concentrate," said Gina Behrens '82. "We didn't run earlier because we thought our experience and talent would be enough, but with unexpectecJ losses, we needed the discipline and running to improve our play."

They gave up an average of 52 points a game, the highest being 75 and the lowest 35. "We don't have great quickness. If we could improve that, our defense would be better," said Jerry Talty '83. The foo tball team, on the other hand, boasted a strong defense, even though they couldn't get a single win. They managed to hold four of seven opponents to under 100 yards, giving up an average of 114 yards rushing and 64 yards passing pe r game . Randy Hallbe rg '8.3, led th e team with 51 tackles. " I think the defense played more like a team than the offense did," Hallberg said. 111e offense relinquished the ball for touchdowns nine times, three through fumbl es, two through blocked punts, and four through interceptions. "We were always physically prepared but not mentally," said Gary Addison '83. "We were used to hearing that AL is always supposed to lose."

Suddenly, with a burst of excitement, the girls sci-earned, "Let's go!" They slapped their hand~ together and charged onto the court. Managing to topple all previous Lady Lynx records, the varsity basketball team finished their season 12-7 and amassed nine consecutive wins, one higher than the best record of the past.

" I don't think there is any way we could have lost that game," said forward Cory Peters '81. "vVe' cl lost to them before, so we wanted it bad." Coach D ennis DeVault attributed the girls' success to their team tmity. "This year, I could coach baske tball instead of coaching personalities," he said. "vVe didn't have the animosity between the guard and forward courts." Senior guard Marci Hodge agreed that the team was unifi ed. "Finally, this year, everybody got along," she said. "They were looking out for each other instead of themselves." Besides unity, the girls had quickness and height when they needed it, according to forward Gina Behrens '82. "When the tall forward5 couldn't do it, the short ones did. It ll5ually evened itself out," she said. Peters led the forwards with 99 fi eld goals, while Hodge led ard~, grabbing 125 rebounds. But disappointment came for the girls when their hopes of playing at the State Tournament we re ruptured in sectionals against TJ. After two earlier victories against the Jackets, the ladies lost the battle bv three points. "They didn't beat us; we beat ourselves," concluded the coach, after a game of fouls, violations, missed free throws, and incomplete pa5ses. "We definitely lost that game because of the stupid mistakes we made," said guard Tracey Putnam '81. Although their season ended abrnptly, the girls had gained team tmity, crowd appeal, and the start of a wi1ming streak.

In the swim of things S wimming more than 192,000 meters, the Lady Lynx endured the longest season in the history of AL fall and winter sports. Swimmers chose their four and a half month season so they could compete in both the November Iowa districts and the later metro meets. Alth o ugh th e t eam wore themselves out to place only eleventh in districts, their practi ces paid off as they late r amassed a 6-3 record, winning twice as many meets as last year and takinrr 61 first places. " I was pleased with the season's outcome and I hope it will influence more people to come out next year," said Paula Hartfi eld '82. Durin g thr ee mid-season meets, the girls placed first in 16 events and set six new pool records. Record breakers were Paula Hartfi eld '82, Krick et Davis '82, and the medley team of Sondra Schumacher '83, Denise Shenefelt '84, Hartfield and Davis. "\Ve have a really great team. Vle are all close fri ends and that's what you have to be in order to work a5 a team as well as we do," said Schmnacher. Finishing with a 4-5 record, the boys' team was hurt by the poor tmnout of only 11 swimmers, half as many as last year. "It was difficult to win when o th e r t eams e nt e r ed three people in each event and we didn't have enough," said Coach Joe Hauser. Lack of experience also hindered the team, as only three lettermen returned, compared to last year's eight. "Next year, with the experience our sophomores and juniors have rrained we plan to do twice 0 ' as well," said Dick Chopra '83. Individual standouts were Trov Shaw '81, who swept 12 of the. team's 28 first places, and Chuck Fetrow '8:3, who grabbed seven top finishes. But even with all his first place finishes, Shaw felt he could have done better. "I was upset that I didn't accomplish my goal of breaking the record in the 100-yard breast stroke and placing higher in the Metro," he said. Overall, swimmers looked forward to one more improvement next year- a bigger turnout of teammates.

"It's all a matter of whethe r you want to win or lose. If you want to win, you put yourself at the lowest weight you can," said Bruce Mayberry '82. Carrying only five seniors could have been a big problem for the 9-2 team, but those seniors, along with 30 sophomores and juniors, got off to a great start, winning nine straight dual meets. "A lot of our success is due to th e close ness of th e whol e team," said Dan Wright '8.3. "Evervboclv is best fri ends in and out of wrestling." Veteran members of the close group, such a'i Tim Draper '81, who took third in State, gave expert help to younger teammates. "Draper wa'i just like another coach. If he saw something we were doing wrong, he'd tell us. He really did anything to help us," said Jeff Beck '83. Their efforts paid off when, with only three seniors wrestling, they beat teams such as Northwest, which later went on to capture the Metro Tournament. Members also attributed their wins to the d ose relationship between the team and the coach. "The whole team really likes Coach Allen," said Dan FelJer '82. "He doesn't talk down to us like some coaches do; we're his equal, until we get on the mat.,.

C ity champs for the third straight year, the boys' tennjs team ended the season in disappointment. After an 8-.3 fall record and an 11-0 dual meet count from the previous year, they finished their spring schedule with a 2-5 record. "It wa<; the kind of season you'd just like to forget about," said Roger Barge '82. Teammates said two factors accounted for the difference in their fa ll and spring pe rformances. "We play the metro teams in the fall and they weren 't as tough a<; they have been in the pa<;t," said Barge. The other factor was the loss of Matt Stubblefield '82, who had to stop playing tennis becatt<;e of a heart condition. "I miss the pride I had from being on th e team , " said Stubblefield. "I regret not be::ig able to play for myself and for the team." · Yet, the team managed to retain their title a<; city champions. "We weren't picked to win; Lewis Central was,· so it was an upset.

"We had inexperi enced players, so we worked on getting back our winning form," said Kurt Mortensen '82. "Next year should be one of our best ever.

"Going into the final set, each team had won one and we were ahead .5-3, but they came back and beat m 7-5," said Mortensen. Although the Lady Lynx fared no b e tt e r than th eir male cotmterparts, they cited different rea<;ons for their 3-6 finish. "Our team wa<;n't unified." Some players weren't dedicated enough and rudn't realize that they were important to the success of the team," said Mary Ann Knott '81. Coach Jan Lyle agreed. "The younger players cudn't understand responsibility or unity in a team situation. 111e whole match could depend on someone who didn't give her best. " 111e Lady Lynx felt that th e season low came when th ev didn't qualify anyone for districts. "We really wanted AL to be represented at districts," said Stephanie Peters '81.

Steve's hit got us fired up," said Trov Vallier '82. "We wanted to show the other team we were just as good, if not better, than them. " Dming the last innings, the Lynx proved their abilities. Taking control of the game, they scored five nms in the fifth and two more in the sixth, capturing a 7-6 victorv. Games like this were common. .\nother rewarding victory came against highly ranked Benson. By pulling together to prevent errors. the Lynx beat the Bunnies 8-0. "It was a good, tough game," said Coach Larrv Flannerv. . . "They had the desire to win, and thev proved they could beat even the toughest teams." As the spring season ended, players were satisfied with their g_5 record and their recognition as A.L's best JV team in ten vears. "We were out to establish a winning tradition in JV baseball, 188 sport and we proved we could do it." said Erik Dickerson '83. Plavers credited their wins to improvement in de fe nse and school pride evoked by Flannerv . " \fr. Flannery gets us psyched up," said Chuck Page '8:3. He's always convincing tL5 we can do better. " Team pride wa<; also important to varsity members. During a disappointing 6-11 season, players often tmned to each other for advice and reassurance. " \\'e have a close team," said Paul 'N ilson '81. "Wh en someone makes a mistake, he knows the rest of us are stiH behind him." Although some players felt pitching was their biggest downfall, thev also admitted infieldina . 0 and outfielding could have been improved. "We lost games because of errors which shouldn't have happened," said Kevin Coburn '83. Yet Coach Bob Burns praised the individual groups and efforts of players. The one member who Bmns felt had made the most improvement was Mark Gardner '81. "Mark improved his playing in every way," said Bmns. "After being given the opportunity to play more, he showed us what can be accomplished by hard work." Another one bites the dust.

" I feel as a team we work as hard as we can to improve ourselves," said Patty Holeton '81. These wins were a surprise since the team wa<; not used to working together. With only five seniors and two sophomores rehu-ning, six freshman suited up for varsitv. One of these was Jill Brosam from Longfellow. She was slated to pitch varsity with Dee Christensen '83, a5 her back up. According to Pettepier, Brosam pitched with the most accuracv and speed. . "Jill's the best pitcher we've aot and we know she's goincr to be o ur strong p oint," sa id VanArsdol. Defensively, Pettepier named Holeton and Farrell outstanding.

Huddled up together, the Shorties shouted encouragement to one another: "Corne on, they're not that good; we can take 'em if we play hard. " The huddle broke and the Shorties charged out to face the Bibblers. "We wanted to show up the seniors," said Joe Diblasi '83, a member of the Shorties, a mostly sQphornore intramura l te am which averaged about 5'8" in height. "Vle did give them a good game in the playoffs for about ten minutes." But their opponents, the Bibb le rs, worked h a rd to b e at them by 11 points. "We've played for three years, and I think everyone was more serious this year tl1an ever," said Bibbler captain, Chris Higginbotham '81. " \Ve wanted to be on a championship team." Other teams, such a5 the Squid Squad, played just to have a good time. They executed 50- foot hook shots, shot with their eyes closed, and refused to pass to teammates. "He re Ya Go," Refe ree Rick Ste nbock hands the ball to 69"e r Jeff Kalstrup. who is at the free throw line in a game against the . etburne rs.

TI1e championship was finally decided when the Bibblers beat the 69'ers by eight points. When all the games were finished, the 69' ers gained second, the Shorties third, the SOB's fourth, Squid Squad fifth, and the et Burners sixth. Players participated in intrarnurals so they could play basketball without the pressures of the varsity squad. "It was a chance to compete without the pressure of a coach. You practiced when you could, not when you were told to, said Dave Wood '81, a Shortie. Rock Cundiff '81, a Bibbler, agreed. "We practiced two or three times because we just couldn't get together," he said. "But you don't worry about technicalities in intrarnurals."

Of 100 students surveyed, each reported owning at least one pair of tennies. Some reported owning up to five or more pairs. With Adidas, ike, Pony, and Puma competing for their cash, students considered comfort, style, durability, and above all, price, which ranged from $22.95 for a pair of ike jogging shoes to $69.95 for a pair of ew Balance 730's. "For me, Pony is the best brand to wear while playing basketball," said Todd Shanks '81. "They are fairly expensive, but while I'm out there on the court, I need a brand that's durable, light, and gives good traction." Over 70 per cent of the students surveyed, however, encomaged their friends to buy ikes. "I like ike the best," said Mary Jo Rogic '83. "Nike has a style for als E N I 0 R s most any sport, whether it be tennis, track, a~ tball , or just good running." Although many department stores offered a variety of styles, more students reported shopping for their tennies a t Sport Trecls, Midwest, or the Athletes Foot.

It sometimes takes the form of water balloons, or squirt gw1S, or fire crackers stuck in garbage cans, and it always puts the teachers on edge as they wait to catch the next pranks.ter in the act. lmtead of putting them on edge, two senior girls decided to give the teachers something to run about. Doughnuts with chocolate Ex-Lax frosting delivered to the teachers' lounge produced the desired results. 204 index "We expected to get punished in some way when the teachers fow1d out," said Sheila (Pee Wee) Van.Arsdol '81. "But they had a great sense of humor and only said, 'We don't get mad, we get even!'" Another senior prank occwTed graduation night after one boy's parents allegedly donated $100 for approximately 300 rolls of toilet paper. Six guys had a super time decorating the school with yard5 and yards of paper, but the fun was short lived. "It was great! " said Dan Herrington '81. "We had the yard by the back door completely white and were going to get the remaining 15 rolls when the cops pulled up! " After taking the boys' names, addresses, and phone numbers, the police told them to clean up. Over an hour and a half was spent tugging the white streamers from tree branches. Unreachable strips were left as evidence of a creative plan foiled. Although the Class of '81 eventually found themselves cured of the ageless disease, the Class of '82 was already scheming devious pranks for their senior year.

I can't find them a nywhere!" moaned a returning staffer on the second day. "Have you tried lo oking in th e drawer where they belong? You seem to forget, we've gone organized!" As the staffer looked carefull y around the room, she noticed we had, indeed, gone "organized." Decorating the walls were dozens of 'how-to' posters for lead-ins, layouts, headlines, and more. On anothe r wall hung boxes containing grease pencils, transparencies, and rough typesheets for every conceivable width of copy and size of type. To o ld staffers, the p lace didn't seem like home, but we came to relish our new e fficiency, especially after our layout e ditor created what we thought were some of the best but most complicated page designs we'd ever seen. Soon we set about keeping straight the following details: All company set type is Caledonia, lO pt. for copy, and lO pt. bold for folio tabs and scor e boards; 8 pt. for captions; 14 pt. bold for quote-outs and news heads; 12 pt. for final page copy; 14 to 36 pt. for ads; 18 to 36 pt. for H istory of th e Year heads.

Academics logos, lead-ins, and headlines are in a 24 pt. Serif Gothic Medium and Bold, and 48 pt. Serif Gothic Heavy. People heads and lead-ins are Zip-atone 36 and 24 pt. Pistilli Roman. By-lines between each section use Letraset 36 pt. Le Robur Noir and 36 and 24 pt. Caslon Italic for copy. Heads a nd logos are in 36 pt. Souvenir DemiBold . Love-lines use 36 p t. Caslon Italic for heads. All rule lines are 1, 2, 3, or 4 pt. and were company set. Mosaic design is used in all sections except opening, closing, index, and special features, which use modular. Special features and sports employ 3- and 4-column design. The 1981 "Crimson and Blue," Volume 83, is printed on Bordeaux 80- pound paper.

We laughed about each time one of us had tripped a f1i end, just to see him sprawled ac ross the fl oor with books scattered all over. And we thought about the imagina tive ye t sometimes embarrassing tricks we pulled to make fri ends' birthdays a special day they'd never forget. Kidnapping unsuspecting fri end5 still clad in pajamas, honoring them with an early morning breakfast at Perkins, and posting 25-foo t "H appy Birthday" signs in the student lounge we re just a few of the crazy antics we had pulled. We also remembered the proud moments of accomplishment we had during those last several ac tion-packed months of school. With half the usual number of golfers, team members upheld a winning golf tradition with an 8-1 record. Concert Choir members' apprehension grew while wa tching judges post a long succession of II ratings at Large Group Mmic Contest. No wonder they fe lt such a surge of joy and relief to see themselves receive the only I rating given in the AA Division. No one on the girls' track team would ever forget th at warm, sunny day in May when the mile relay team broke their record fo r the second time, and brought the team total of broken school records to 19. The girls' tennis team won city-wide acclaim when Mary Ann Knott overpowered Cindy Newman of Millard to take second place in the Metro Tournament. And hours of research, writing, rewriting, and p roofing paid off for ·newspaper staffers when the Echoes received more award5 than any other school at the UNO competition. As we thought about all the good times, hard work, and accomplishments we had shared together, we knew AL was a place we would miss and remember with pride- a school whose good qualities were, indeed, right before our ve ry eyes. 214 closing took a inallook A feeling of accomplishment overcomes Amy Reeves at the Red Oak meet.

The halls still stretched wide with shiny tiled floors and red and blue lockers. The worn books, graffitied desks, dusty chalk smell, and friendly faces seemed familiar despite the three-month separation. In fact, 1,074 students and 85 faculty members entered the doors expecting another routine year. Yet, something had changed. At football games fans rocked the bleachers with electrified enthusiasm. Undaunted by our losing reputation, they shook paper porn-pons, tooted plastic kazoos, chanted "Yes we can!", and screamed advice through megaphones until their broken voice boxes could barely whisper. And in our own way, we became winners, for our spunky spirit blazed on despite one disappointing loss after another. As this fresh spirit created a new atmosphere, some2 opening WITH FIRE IN HIS EYES, Stuart Crum shouts to the basketball team, " We can do it!" after defeating Ryan for the first win of the season. thi~g else smoldered in the innards of our school, waiting patiently for the circumstances to explode. At first it wasn't as obvious as the change that brought the faces of Principal James Gaffney and activities director Michael Messerli to the helm. But these faces hinted of change, and change would soon ignite the heart of our smoldering innards - our feelings. The major explosion shocks erupted when the school board proposed a curriculum change that would cut electives and put both AL and T J on a seven-period day. "Save the eight period day!" scrawled in soap on bathroom mirrors and plastered on posters began the protest. Angry emotion swelled when Ted Stilwill, director of curriculum, came to answer the debate classes' questions and succeeded only in arousing more questions. Refusing to be squelched, the debaters took our stormy battle to the media. Two TV stations brought their cam- r eras to record our concerns on film.

Council Bluffs residents could feel it almost every Friday night I during football season as a truckload of rowdy drummers led a stream of crepe paper decorated beaters toward CB Stadium. Our opponents could feel it as they looked across the field at fans clad in red, who cheered, clapped, and stomped until the disappointing end. "Spirit was great during football season, " said Chris Kendall '82. "Just the thought that they might win was enough to keep everyone going." We sensed it again during Homecoming - that extra special energy - when two charged up cheerleaders, hoping to boost morale and raise money for their squad, teeter-tottered nonstop for 30 hours. "It added a spirited touch to homecoming," said Marcy·Davis '83. "People said we couldn't do it, and we wanted to prove we could." The fever spread to 58 more of us as we devoted over 6,200 man hours of singing, dancing, and memorizing to produce Bye Bye Birdie and win standing ovations, rave reviews, and close friendships. ~ THIS ONE JS JUST FOR ST ARTERS!

"By spending so much time together we strengthened our old friendships and built new ones, " said Dawn Smith '82. "It was worth every minute of it." Administrators could feel the heat, too, when we united to protest new Christmas Dance policies. Although we couldn't get them to abolish breath tests, we prided ourselves in convincing them to change the date to a night when deba.ters, wrestlers, and basketball players would not be away at tournaments. "I felt great after talking to Mr. Gaffney," said Mark Mauer '82. "We worked together so our friends could have fun too. That's just the way it should be!" . Such feelings sparked warm relationships. Whether we were on a date, meeting the gang at Burger King, or gettin crazy at "Rocky Horror," friendly smiles and encouraging words kept us flying high. "Whenever I'm down, my fri~nds always know how to make me smile," said Marcia Christensen '82. Before we realized it, we had burned up another year. As we remembered those dynamite days, we were sure of one thing - it was our special brand of energy that had made them spark. s tudent life 5 COMPLETE WITH STREAMERS and smiling headlights, Jeff Ballenger's jeep takes on a festive look while waiting for the parade to begin.

Week ol ups and downs I magine sitting on top of a teeter-totter for 30 hours straight, never stopping to eat a meal at a table, to sleep in a soft bed, or even to get out of the rain. That's what juniors Marcy Davis and Lori Nichols did Homecoming weekend to raise money for cheerleading. Their idea provided a bright spot in what students said was a disappointing week. But for these girls, the venture wasn't exactly a breeze, especially after Thursday's clouds brought rain . "We were totally saturated," Davis said. " I looked really scurvy before the game, so my mom brought an extension cord, curling iron and mirror so I could fix my ' hair." Staying awake was another problem. Seniors Rusty Metcalf and Kevin Kimball kept the girls 6 student life awake from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. with conversation and a continuous supply of tacos, Doritos, and pop. Davis and her parents built the teeter-totter on top of a flatbed so it could be towed around town to collect donations and pleges for the number of hours teeter-tottered. ed and the students were sometimes confused as to what was going on." With many organizations starting the year in the red, only seniors built a parade float. Others simply drove in a motley line of cars ranging from old beaters to shiny new Corvettes and M.G. Midgets. '' Being crowned was something I dreamed of but never believed in. - Kricket Davis '82 ~~~~~~~~-'' "We rasied over $1,000 and though we were exhausted, it was worth it," Nichols said. With only a handful of students participating, other events such as dress-up, hat, and spirit days didn't go as well. "I feel everything was unorganized, " said Cheryl Clark '83. "The halls were not really decorat- "I feel there wasn't enough organization to get things going," said Monty Gartin '82. Then on Friday came the biggest disappointment of all, when South slaughtered the Lynx 48-0. "! wanted to die when the final 10 seconds were being counted down and we hadn't scored a single point, " said Chris Beno '83. But even losing the game couldn't have dampened senior Kricket Davis's joy as she was announced the new Homecoming Queen.

"Since my VW is about six different colors, we thought it had a charm all of its own," said Kaylene Achenbaugh '82. " So at car rallies, we always took it." Starting with a few decorated cars, the spirited rallies soon grew into major events with illegal escorts cutting off traffic, screaming fans hanging from windows, horns and kazoos tooting shrilly, and wate r balloons saturating cars and people alike .

Fans roared with excitement as sportscasters broke the news that Oklahoma, Nebraska's only contender for the Big Eight Championship and an Orange Bowl invitation, and Michigan, Iowa's sole contender for a Rose Bowl invitation, both had been defeated. " Nebraska has always gone to a bowl game, but I was surprised when they beat Oklahoma and also got to go to the Orange Bowl," said Jeff Buckholz '83. Students didn't get to go to college games often, but when they did, it was an experience to remember. When they went for the first time, they were awed by the rowdiness of fans and one solid color filling the stadium. "Everywhere there was black and gold," said Jill Krabbe '83, about the Iowa-Michigan State game. " One man was even wearing a black and gold stocking hat and ear phones!" For most fans, Saturday was infront-of-the-tube day. Students plopped into their favorite chairs and spent entire afte rnoons without budging.

Almost as much a part of Nebraska as of Iowa, CB students often grew up as Husker fans, but as the Hawks surprised the whole had to swallow bruising remarks when the Hawks defeated the Huskers 10-7. This was the first time in years that Iowa stumped their neighboring state opponent. "Since Sandy Jensen was a big Nebraska fan and kept saying they'd kill Iowa, I got revenge by putting a 'Go Hawks' sign on her desk," said Ron Crowl '82. Nebraska fans got their revenge, however, when Iowa dropped to 18 in the ratings and the Huskers climbed to 4. "At first all I heard was Nebraska jokes, but RIVALRY LIVES ON as Nebraska and Clemson pennants hang in Mike Lange's room afte r an Orange Bowl trip. it turned and Iowa was getting the jokes," said Sheryl Cory '83.

" Iowa seemed to back their team more," said Julie Beck '84, " probably because Iowa hasn't gone to a bowl game in 23 years and everyone was excited!" But for confident Nebraska and Iowa fans, New Years Day was a disappointment. Favored Iowa was shutout 28-0 by the Washington Huskies and picked Nebraska lost its shot at the national championship in a 22-15 loss to the Clemson Tigers. "After Iowa lost, I rooted for Clemson to win because I couldn't stand all the Nebraska fans rubbing it in if they won," said Mike Marnin '84.

No, the jaws were inflation, which took its toll on everyone, squeezing and tearing hard earned cash to shreds. The only answer seemed to be to feed the jaws more money . Although government figures showed inflation had slowed from double digits to 9 percent by January, most teens didn't know it. As they forked over $7 .98 for favorite albums at Soundland, $26 for a new sweater at Maurices, $1.11 for a gallon of gas, and as much as $15 for a haircut, they felt sure the monster was still around . For many students, a job was a necessity. A poll of 100 students showed that 44 percent worked at least 10 hours a week, with many working 30 to 35 hours. All the juniors and seniors polled said they were looking fo r a job if they didn't already have one. Only four out of 100 students named experience as the main reason for working.

" I'm trying to save for college , but a large amount of my paycheck ends up going for snacks and odds and ends, " said Brad Harvey '83. Though many parents found it hard to believe , students insisted that two lunches, pop, and other sweets added up to as much as five dollars a day. " I always get hungry at school so I munch , even though I am trying to save for a car," said Amy Payne '83. Fifty percent of students polled worked at restaurants or fast food chains for approximately $3.35 starting wage . "It's easy to get a job there because people are always getting fired and hired," said Jody Boyd '83. Grueling hours, horrid bosses and lack of time to keep up grade~ were the most frequent complaints about jobs. " By the time I get home from work, I have little time to do anything else but get a few hours of sleep," said Pam Browning '83. Yet teens enjoyed the responsibilities and independence of their jobs. "I hated having to ask my parents for money because I felt I owed them something," said Mary Jerkovich '82, " but now that I have a job, I'm on my own."

While students agreed that life's highs were special moments that kept them going, they had their own ways of defining and seeking those highs. Although 53 of 100 students surveyed said they drank occasionally and 19 said they smoked pot regularly, nearlY, a third, or 28, said they did neither. ''/ get high being myself; I don't need alternatives. " - Jayne Nelson '84 Those who used chemical substances said they enjoyed the high. "I find it relaxing to just sit down and smoke a joint by myself," said Leonard Long '84. But others didn't enjoy that feeling. "I'd rather get high naturally because it makes me feel happier and more secure," said Marsha Haines '83. For nonusers, activities ranging from a moment of solitude to participation in their favorite sport provided feelings of contentment. More than a third of those polled said being with their girlfriend or boyfriend gave them their best feeling. "I like going out with Stan because he makes me feel special and we have a lot of fun together," said Kathy Wolff '82. 30 special feature Special Report Drug usage declines as teens turn on naturally "Playing the drums gives me a natural high; it relieves al/ my daily tension." - Jim Beck '82 Listening to music also helped a third of the students get away from it all and feel high naturally. "Music puts me in a relaxed trance-like state which I really enjoy," said Sue From '83. Many students said their friends also made them feel good. "I really enjoy being with friends because I know I can be myself," said Lisa Claussen '84. Nonusers gave various reasons for staying away from drugs. In addition to the physical and mental effects of drinking and smoking pot, the fear of being caught or upsetting parents kept some teens away. "My parents would be disappointed, and they would feel I couldn't be trusted," said Wendy Bergantzel '84. Linda Thiel '84 agreed. "My parents would be shocked, hurt and confused," she said. "They wouldn't understand why I did it because I wasn't raised that way." Others said the cost of pot and booze prohibited them. "My car eats so much gas I can't afford to go out and party a lot," said ''/ like cruising because I can see al/ my Friends and get crazy too. '' - Debbie Smith '82 John Peak '83. Although comparison of a survey from the '79 Crimson and Blue with 1982 results showed that the number of tokers had dropped 14 percent and the number of nonusers had increased three percent in the past three years, some students admitted they needed the chemical boost. Many said they enjoyed drinking beer or Jack Daniels whiskey to break the monotony of the week. "Drinking makes me forget about the past and future; then I only have to think about what's going on right now," said Butch Harriman '82. Cost wasn't a problem, according to many users. A few said· they spent from $20 to $100 for a bag of pot, earning the money by working part-time or borrowing from parents or friends.

As teens and parents used patience, understanding and communication to build the bridge across the generation gap, many teens said they looked forward to sharing treasured secrets with their parents. " I can tell my mother anything. We are very open and honest and have a really close relationship," said Pndy Tuttle '84. ' . 'I ·""" "We are always helping each other; trust is mutual in our family. '' David Wilson '83 Seventy-eight out of 100 students polled said they held a close and loving relationship with their parents. Ninety-five out of 100 said that a good relationship was necessary between a parent and child. "It's important to have someone to confide in, and what better person than a parent?" Tuttle said. Many students said that shared activities strengthened the bond with their parents. "I go golfing with my family. We all have a good time, and sometimes we all go out to eat," said Jill Lytten '82. Sports seemed to be an especially strong point in many relationships. "Our entire family goes to my brother's basketball games," said Colleen Hanfan '82. " It brings us togeth32 special feature "My parents know when something is wrong and care about what it is. " - Mike Lange '82 er and makes us realize how close we really are." Knowing that parents wanted to share in their activities gave students a special feeling. "My parents have always supported me in everything I do, especially my drum major performances," said Lisa Gallo '83. "It's great to know you're not on your own." Students appreciated the extra time parents spent helping them improve skills. "My dad is always helping me with my golf, and even when we're just playing for fun, he puts me under pressure. He knows what it takes to win," said Todd Townsend '82. Students also felt that relationships thrived when parents gave teens the chance to try independence. "I'm glad my parents give me more freedom to do what I want and trust my judgment," said Suzie Welch '83. Despite newly gained freedoms, students noted that as they reached their teens, nervewracking situations resulted. "When my parents and I fight, it's usually over my going out," said Alyce Spoto '84. "We usually end ''My parents always try to understand and Jet me speak my . . ,, opm1on. - Jill Brosam '84 up with a compromise of being home early or giving up another activity for the week." Teens agreed that without compromise, there would be no end to fights. "Compromise saves a lot of time and arguments and it usually satisfies both sides," said Spoto. Almost all students said that communication was the basis of a good relationship. "Mom and I can talk about anything, and she helps me with a lot of my problems, said Gayle Swartz '83. "I go to her as often as I go to my friends for advice ." '-'We argue at times, but a smile and a hug make every thing work out." - Rose Koch '83 Parents agreed that encouraging open expression of feelings was important. "I feel relationships can be improved if communication barriers ~re broken by parents talking and listening to their teens, respecting their opinions and giving them more choices," said Evelyn Miller, mother of Jeanne '83 and Dawn '84. ' Ronald Jones, father of Kyle Jones '84, felt that parenthood meant "being someone a teen can depend on, and being not only a parent but a friend. " After all the fun shared and compromises reached, students agreed that parents are an important part of growing up. "Growing up is hard and it's important to have someone to share that with," said Hanafan, "or it can be even harder.''

"I think including the younger students was a great idea; that way , when they enter high school, the change won't be so drastic," said Julie Johnson '84. But many students resented the junior high performers. "I think the Roadshow should have consisted only of high school performers; after all, it was our show," said Julie Bostwick '84. Even though there were a few complaints, almost everyone seemed to enjoy the show. "I really thought the participants did a great job," said Lisa Post '84. " High school roadshows seem much more professional than the ones we had in junior high." The show consisted mostly of musical acts which the audience greeted with rousing applause . Students agreed that Aces High, a four-man rock band, stole the show. Next were J .C. and the Boys, a group of junior and senior guys who sang their way into all the girls' hearts. The New Design Swing Choir, another favorite, sang its rendition of television commercials.

As soon as she entered the ballroom, she knew the splendor was real. Inside the Carter Lake Warehouse couples floated around expressing cheerful hellos to friends and teachers, getting refreshments, and anxiously wishing Prom court candidates good luck. "I was so anxious for Prom to arrive that when it finally did, I didn't want the night to end," said Anne Clinton '82. Behind the scenes, Junior Class officers had planned carefully to make the most awaited event of the year a success. "People don't realize how many details have to be taken care of," said Michelle Maaske '83. "We had to decide on a theme and order glasses, booklets, crowns, photographers, chairs, flowers, and decorations.'' Members slaved over key chain, candy bar, carnation, chocolate kiss, and May basket sales, earning over $1000. Students agreed that the $1700 for the Rumbles was especially well spent. The five-man group not only sang favorite oldies and current hits, but also managed to keep the dance floor filled with liveliness all night. "It's the best Prom I've seen in 18 years!" said Don Scheibeler, Junior Class sponsor. Even Principal James Gaffney, warehouse owners, and teachers ' Up feelings made Prom memorable. - Becky Gilbert '83 commended the students' behavior. "The kids' behavior was outstanding," Gaffney said. "The work put into it was well worth it because it turned out to be an ideal situation.'' The main event was the crowning of queen Tami Hansen '82, and king Bob Speight '82. When the winners were announced, tears streamed down the queen's face . " I was so nervous when they called Bob's name!" said Hansen, who had dated Speight for nearly two years. "I thought he'd win with another girl." But activities didn't stop at the dance. As tradition dictated, curfews were abandoned. Still in Prom attire, couples dined at elegant restaurants. . " I like the relaxing atmosphere of eating after the dance because a couple can finally sit down and talk alone," said Laura Fischer '82. After changing clothes in the wee hours of the morning, students were still filled with vigor, so they rollerskated, bowled, swam, and attended private parties. " I had a blast rollerskating because everyone who went was pretty close, and we had a great time together," said Sondra Schumacher '83. Many couples even went out for breakfast if they could keep from falling asleep. "I found it hard to get up and eat breakfast after falling asleep for two hours," said Bob Huebner '82, " but I'm glad I did. I was so hungry." After the excitement settled, students knew the memories of dreams come true that night would be locked away in their minds forever. prom 37 "GET THAT MORTARBOARD FLAT!"

The speaker had paused for emphasis and his words echoed in my brain, "The two greatest things a parent can give his child are roots and wings." Josten youth promoter, Mark Scharenbroich, went on, "Remember the first time you let go of that tiny hand and saw him totter into his first step, let go of his bicycle, and saw it wobble down the street? Parents, it's time to let go again. "Graduates, you may not understand, but when you leave for college, there will be a tear in your mother's eye, and after you're gone, your father will go into your room, imprint every detail in his memory, and thank God for his beautiful child." My lump burst, and through clouded eyes, I sought my parents. Mom, are those tear tracks you're wiping away? Dad, why are you 38 student life gnawing on your cheek? I've heard you both say a thousand times that you couldn't wait to get me out of high school. I smiled, remembering how our parents had fought to send us out traditionally.

Scharenbroich 's emotional tone brought me back as he reminded us that our parents would be there gowns hanging to our knees, and tears streaming down our faces. J glanced around at the familiar smiles of classmates and teachers. We had shared so much - laughter, tears, triumph, defeat, love, and even hate. I'd miss it.

But at 3 a .m. when the music stopped and the lights came on, no one cared that we looked like we'd all crawled out of a river. An hour after the final notes blared, friends and enemies hugged, kissed, and wished each other well, not wanting the night to end. But no matter how hard we clung to that final moment the end ' was inevitable.

Despite the familiar grind of tests, lab write- .. ups, and homework overloads, we glimpsed the flicker of new ideas in our education. Some we energetically accepted as stimulating challenges; others we openly protested with fiery emotion. Those of us who took the newly required American Government class felt the searing sting of these new notions as we burned through 25 chapters of information in 18 short weeks. "We had two tests a week and covered the material so fast that I couldn't retain it," said Amy Carson '83. "One semester wasn't long enough." Others among us discovered a new challenge when instructor John Cairns' brainstorm sparked the "media satellites" program which paid students for fulfilling feeder schools' special needs. "We get the opportunity to learn more about the media business," said Monty Gartin '82, "while the schools get needed services like bulletin boards." As the language arts curriculum shifted emphasis to writing, those of us who took English felt the heat of 40 academics PROBING FOR ANSWERS, Valarie Witham, Crista Couch, and Therese Ocken listen intently to director of curriculum Ted Stilwill explain proposed curriculum changes.

"It's frustrating - you have the info and you know what you want to say, but you can't get the words put together," said Connie Van Bibber '84. But the biggest heatwave of change singed us when we angrily watched as the curriculum we had come to know was mangled and reconstructed. Despite a rare unification that enabled us to fight furiously for our endangered program, on Nov. 17, the C.B. School Board unanimously passed a plan that sliced a period from our school day, eliminated 17 electives, and required 33 credits to graduate instead of 36. " I'd have felt better if one person had voted no," said debater Paul Rounds '83, who spoke against the proposal at the board meeting. "The way it turned out, I wondered if we'd all fought for a futile cause." The basics hadn't changed, but our ways of learning them came under fire with fresh ideas. academics 41 PP'~ppin11 etettires: pP'attieat ~P' painfat?

The class which had created these parents, Marriage and Family, along with other social studies electives such as Philosophy, Crime and Delinquency, and World Religion, was to be dropped and the new requirement of American Government instituted. The death knell for these electives sounded when the school board approved sweeping curriculum changes in November. Administrators supported the changes. " Now we are more in line with other schools. These electives will be incorporated into other classes," said Principal James Gaffney. " For instance, Marriage and Family will be somewhat included in Understanding People." Many students, however, disagreed that the concepts of Marriage and Family would be taught as well in another class. "Understanding People will deal with groups of people, while Marriage and Family teaches personal finance and what to do in case of divorce," said Penny Larsen '83. Nevertheless, the new requirement signaled a change in the educational system. "It's not just in Council Bluffs; it's all over the country," said counselor Dick Schoeppner. "Employees and colleges want people who can read and write a paper, not so much people educated in social things." But social studies teachers argued that developing well rounded students was more important. "Students need a variety of classes and experiences to help them develop strong personalities, " said instructor Bill Willard. One reason for dropping electives was purely practical. With the addition of the government requirement, more teachers were needed and extra money wasn't available to hire them. "I think government is important, but it was added at the expense of other classes, " said instructor Mary Gepner. A few students felt that government was a good idea and that electives should be dropped. "I think people need to be taught more basic knowledge than practical living, " said Lynne Jacobsen '83. But most students objected to the changes. "Everyone has to go through the process we discuss in marriage class. Whether they decide to marry or not, they all live on their own," said Kim King '83. On the other hand, many students felt that government wasn't necessary for everyone. "If you don't plan to get into politics, you don't use what you learn in government," said Mike Ruckman '83. Students' biggest complaint about the government course was that a year's worth of material was crammed into a semester. " It went so fast it was hard to get anything out of it," said Fonda Ogren '83. With Marriage and Family near extinction, students rushed to experience simulated marriage and parenthood. "As soon as I found out the class was canceled, I rushed down to sign up because I wouldn't be able to take it my senior year, " said Suzie Welch '83.

But at a time when almost all juniors and seniors found it necessary to work part-time, not everyone voiced such positive feelings about the COOP program, which included DECA, Trades and Industries (T&I), and Food Services (FS). " I think COOP is a rip-off," said Kim Heater '83. " I work, but I don't get credits for it." Many students surveyed at random agreed with Heater, contending that some used the program as an escape from regular school· work. Several of the 100 COOP students them· selves supported that view. "!took DECA just so 1 could get out of school earlier and get three credits for it, too," one girl said. But according to Frank Diblasi, T&l in· structor, the classes weren't that easy. Students were required to work at least 15 hours a week, turn in weekly reports, attend class dai· ly, and be evaluated regularly by their employer. Diblasi said the idea of the program was to prepare students for a vocation. "We have advanced programs for college prep students, but what about those who are going to work when they graduate?" he said. Many students enrolled in the program agreed that they had gained advantages over other teenage workers. " I've learned about 'things I'll need to know when 1 enter the work· ing world, such as labor unions and income taxes," said Debbie Knudsen '82. Several students also said that COOP had helped them learn how to hold a job. " DECA has taught me about the things 1 could get fired for," said Karl Gahm '82, "so when I'm work· ing, I'm more careful to avoid those things because my job is important to me.

Students working there were typical of those interested in industrial arts who hoped that someday their hands-on training would provide them with better career opportunities. The Career Building class, consisting of 15 AL students and students from St. Albert and T J, worked on additional projects, including a storage shed at Thirty-second Street and Sixteenth Avenue and an addition to a house on Bennett Avenue . "Career Building gives me the knowledge and training necessary for a career in carpentry," said Mike Eakins '82. In Career Auto Mechanics taught at T J, stu- dents installed transmissions, repaired brakes, and did tune-ups. "We learn about the car, its parts, and how they work," said Kurt Hansen '83. " After I graduate, I'll go to IWCC and study Advanced Mechanics." Many students found that careers could be pursued right from Al's industrial arts wing, where classes ranged from electronics to printing. Robert Gilson '84, a Basic Electronics student, planned to study electronics in college. " I'd like to be an engineer because of the great demand," Gilson said. Other electronics students planned careers in computers. Alisa Castillo '82, spent a semester in Basic Electronics, then skipped to Computer Circuits, cutting out five semesters of electronics. "I'm interested in computers and how they work," said Castillo. " I'm just sorry that I learned about the class too late to take it my junior year. " For other students, drawing perpendicular lines and right angles was just the beginning of an architectural career. From the basics, some went on to Architectural Drawing, where they prepared for college. " I took Basic Drafting for credit only, but I liked it so well that I decided to go to college and study for a career as a draftsman," said Kenny Thompson '83. While career goals played a big part in choosing a class, some students took industrial arts classes out of curiosity. Pam Jeter '83, who took Basic Printing, said, "I took it because it was unique in contrast with my other classes." Students involved in woods classes constructed breadboards, clocks, cabinets for the driver education and printing rooms, small storage sheds, and library tables. They also worked on individual projects oi their own choosing. Brian Brunow '84, built a gun cabinet. ' 'I'm interested in different types of wood, and I get satisfaction knowing I've built something with my own hands," he said. Whether students took industrial arts with a career in mind, or just from curiosity, most agreed that the experience gained made the classes worthwhile. BRUSHING-UP.

Such was the feeling voiced by math instructor Connie Byrnes when told of a quote in Time magazine stating, "Females can't bring themselves to accept sexual difference in intelligence, but the difference in math is a fact." When the Thirty-third Annual Math Exam was given on March 9, the results seemed to prove Byrnes right. Diane Stebbins '83, had the high score with 68 points, while Paula Hartfield '82, followed closely with 64 points. "I was really impressed to find that two girls had the highest scores. I think girls try harder and do just as well as boys in math and sci· ence," said Molly Daley '82. Teachers agreed that girls are just as com- petent as boys in math and science. "Because girls are more grade-conscious, they usually do better than boys in my math courses, " said instructor Orville Miller. But despite girls' proven abilities and new career opportunities for them in technological fields, advanced classes continued to be filled predominantly with boys. In a survey of 81 advanced math and science students, 51 boys responded, compared to 30 girls, in physics, for example, 45 boys were enrolled, compared to 19 girls. Teachers explained that though grade-consciousness motivated girls to do well in math and science, it also prevented them from trying advanced classes in some cases. " [ worry about my parents' reactions to my grades, so I quit taking math and science classes and am sticking with the classes I know I'll do well in," said Amy Carson '83. Sometimes, according to science instructor Dennis Schmoker, just a course name, "physics, chemistry, and trigonometry, will seem to tell a girl there is no way she can succeed." Students and teachers felt this insecurity arose from girls' upbringing. "Starting in grade-school, teachers subtly discourage girls in math and science ," said Paul Rounds '83. Many felt that parents were to blame as well. "If a little girl goes outside to watch her father work on the lawnmower, he'll tell her to stay away so she won't get hurt," Byrnes said. "But if a little boy goes out, his dad will patiently explain what he is doing." Nevertheless, many girls found success in math and science. "I was a little nervous because I'm one of only two sophomores taking chemistry, but I'm glad I'm in the class because it's challenging, ". said Pam May '84. Some girls even planned a career in math and science. 'Tm always worrying about my grades, but I'm receiving good grades, and I plan to go to college and study computers," Marcia Hopkins '82, said. Boys agreed that girls could excel in math and science, and some even approved of the girls taking charge in partner situations. "When I work with Paula Hartfield in Advanced Chem., I don't mind if she bosses me around because she knows what she's doing, and I don't, " said Jack Scoular '82. A WATCHED POT NEVER BOILS.

"Edit, revise, reword - I'll never get this written right!" thought the frustrated sophomore English student as he rummaged through notes, previous revisions, and a thesaurus. Frustration was a common feeling among English, journalism, and foreign language students as teachers stressed the art of composition more than ever. "We write a lot of things for my English 3-4 class and I can't stand writing!" said Tony Kill '84. Why all the writing? According to Larry Schulenberg, district coordinator of language arts, a survey of colleges and businessmen showed that they felt students from Council Bluffs had low writing abilities. As a result, language arts emphasis shifted to writing skills, with teachers requiring written compositions at least twice a month. Students in Cheryl Schmidt's English 3-4 classes improved their writing skills through editing groups. After students wrote a story or essay, they had their peers correct it. According to Schmidt, these peer groups helped students discover mistakes and learn how to avoid them. " My editing group really helps," said Julie Beck '84. "They tell you when you need to clarify an idea or add or subtract something. And I'd rather they told me than Mrs. Schmidt!" Journalism students took a different approach. After students wrote features, instructor Linda Smoley read the stories aloud to the class, who in turn, listened and critiqued them. Smoley said the purpose was to teach writers to distinguish between clear, rhythmic, wellorganized prose and awkward, choppy, disjointed sentences. "When Mrs. Smoley read my story, I couldn't believe how rotten it sounded! " said Steve Hall '84. "You can really pick out the mistakes ~hen you hear them rather than read them silently."

"For every word I've learned in Latin, I know an English word like it or one that comes from it," said Crista Couch '82. Other students learned sentence structure and grammar from a foreign language. "Spanish was so hard because we had to learn to conjugate verbs," said Shelly Gilmore '83, "but now I know a lot more about participles and gerunds. It's been a big help to my English."

Such cries were often heard just as a driver education car returned safely to school after a grueling experience on the road . Driver education, along with home economics and business classes, focused on skills needed to survive, and sometimes as students muddled through the classes, they felt their survival was on the line. One driving teacher, for example, told the story of a rider who was so happy to arrive back at school in one piece that he got down on his knees and kissed the ground. Despite such harrowing incidents, students felt that driver education was an important part of their schooling. " I don't know how anyone could get along without driver ed," said Roger Evans '84. "I'm really glad that AL offers it because learning to drive is a vital part of life." Yet driving instructors felt that students weren't gaining enough experience because of the loss of one teacher this year and another next year. Although an enrollment drop was blamed for the cuts, instructor Thomas Stull said that each car had to accomodate one additional student. "It was hard to learn and practice safe driving skills when our time was so limited," said Tammy Wilson '84. While some students were practicing driving, others were planning menus, sewing, and studying family living in home economics classes. Clothing students were required to complete at least two projects with zippers, and one with a collar, sleeves, and buttons. "Basic Clothing helped me a lot, although sometimes I didn't think I would get through it. It seemed like every time I got a project put together, I had to rip it apart," said Lynda Emge '83, "but by the time I finished , my wardrobe had grown ." To provide a break from sewing and cooking, advanced classes took a field trip to the House Of Genji with new home economics instructor Patti Ford. "We did a unit on foreign foods, and the trip was a follow-up ," said Mindy Hodge '83. "The food was really different and it was a neat experience . I can't wait to go again." Business courses also attempted to teach survival skills, especially those needed in college or the office. Because college prep and business students needed the skill, more students signed up for typing than any other business course. " It was a real pain to type an eight-page manuscript. It took me at least four days to get the first page right, but I know in the long run it will be helpful for college or a career," said Billie Poulos '84. No matter what area students zeroed in on, driver education, home economics and business classes played an important part in their practical education.

So says Webster. But for art and drama students, ways to express themselves were no longer limited to words. They drew, painted, wrote plays, and acted. As stronger emphasis was placed on performing, drama students expressed feelings through characters. "N~ matter who you're portraying, a part of you still shows in that character," said Kelly Wilson '82. "Even if you play Ronald Reagan , the audience sees your feelings by the way you portray him. " Students began performing skits or one scene from a play, gradually building skills until they were able to write, perform, and direct their own plays. "By producing these plays, students get a chance to do some creative writing," said Patricia Dontchos, instructor. "But more importantly, kids who couldn't participate in the allschool play or musical because of jobs or other commitments get a chance to be involved with a production." Having to perform in front of others helped boost self-confidence, according to students. "It takes a lot of guts to stand in front of a group of people and try to get them to laugh or cry," said Kurt Hansen '83. "Now that I've had to do it, I'm not so scared. I'm more sure of myself around other people." Twenty-five drama students displayed their confidence at the Iowa State Large Group Speech Contest in J anuary at Ankeny. They brought home an Outstanding rating in the one-act play division and a Division I rating in choral reading. "!was really proud that we got an Outstanding," said Sondra Schumacher '83. "!thought we might get a Division I rating, but I never figured on that. I was so happy!" While drama students acted out their feelings, art students expressed themselves through painting, drawing, or sculpting. "I draw mostly to poke fun at something," said Scott Hale '84, " but if I'm mad or depressed, I'll draw to bring myself out of it or to show what I'm feeling at that time." In addition to providing students with a means of self-expression, art could also provide recognition.

" I was hoping I'd get a first place," said Kane, "but I was totally shocked when I won reserve champion. I almost couldn't believe it." But to most students, awards weren't as important as the challenge of creating something on their own. " It makes me feel good to know I can design and make something. The feeling of independence and individuality is great!" said Amy Payne '84.

"W e usually design the products ourselves," said Scott Fisher '82. "The teacher tells us what he or she wants and then we're pretty much on our own." Satellites weren't expected to do all of the projects on their own, however, according to John Cairns, instructor. In fact, most beginning media students helped with two or three projects for each school. " If I get overloaded or feel like I need a hand, I just ask someone to help me out," said 'Mike Ward '82. The satellite system developed after a discussion between Cairns and former principal Robert Capel about how the Media Department could better serve the school system. "Schools were sending their media requests to AEA and paying for the service, so we volunteered our department," said Cairns. "Our output to AL hasn't suffered, either." Another pilot program met special needs in a different way. For the first time, ten mentally retarded and physically handicapped students attended AL. Stationed in room 146 with special education instructor Twila Petitt, each was taught basic subjects and some vocational skills at his or her own level, much as in the old one-room schoolhouse. During one period, the students went to the small gym for P.E. with instructor Penny Hutchison. There they participated in activities designed to increase flexibility and coordination. Following exercises, they played games such as Pillow Polo in which they hit a large Nerf-type ball with spongy-ended sticks through a goal. Finally, students had to tell each other something about their personal hygiene, such as whether their hair was clean or they were wearing clean clothes. They also studied ONE GIGANTIC HIT is all Dewayne Godden needs to smash the ball past Norman Knott during a game of Pillow Polo with classmates Jerry Stinebaugh, David Craighill, and Denise Wildner, aide. "DID I GET THIS SET RIGHT?" seems to be Manuel Tijerina's thought as he prepares to videotape in the library. health and nutrition. "Doing these things helps the kids be more aggressive and aware of grooming habits, " said Hutchison, "but they never take offense at what is said." The goal of the program was to help the students function in the outside world by exposing them to other people their own age and training them in survival skills such as cooking, grooming, staying healthy, and finding a job in the real world. "By putting them with others, they can see right and wrong behavior as well as how others at their age level act, dress, talk, etc.," Petitt said. Most agreed that both new programs met a wide range of the community's and schools' special needs. media, special education 57 ________ Specia....L-____ _ epor FRICTION: Period change riles students to protest C an you believe they are proposing we go to a seven-period day? "I like our periods the way they are!" "I should have taken Marriage and Family this year because I heard they aren't going to offer it next year." Such hall talk reflected the anger and frustration smoldering within the faculty and students as the issue of new requirements and the seven-period day overtook everyone in mid October. "How can we get an education when elective choices are so limited?" Chris Hawkins '83 It all began when department heads were called to Central Office to hear about and offer input into a proposal that raised requirements and reduced periods. One by one, after arguing that the plan would kill electives, teachers returned to school with the details. To graduate, incoming sophomores would be required to have six semesters of English (as opposed to four); six of P.E. (on alternate days only); three of social studies; two of math, and one of science (as opposed to one of either). Both city schools would have the same number of periods each day, T J moving from six to seven, and AL from eight to seven. Administrators maintained that the changes were needed to increase competency in basics and give students at both schools equal time in each course. Although they fought the period change, 58 special feature most students approved of raising requirements, especially since they learned in the Echoes that under the old system, AL and T J students could get by taking less English, math, and science than students at any of 11 other metro schools. "I know the administration is changing requirements for our benefit," said Amy Stogdill '84. "But why do they think it's necessary to take away a class period and rob us of our electives?" As the controversy raged, administrators \angered students further by ordering teachers not to discuss their opinions of the change with students. "I know the administration probably had a good reason for not wanting teachers to discuss the seven-period day, but it concerned all of us and I think we should have had a stronger voice in it," said Lisa Eickholt '83. Real protests began after Ted Stilwill, assistant director of curriculum, visited debate classes and failed to answer questions to the students' satisfaction. First, debaters and student leaders circulated petitions against the change. "The board made up its mind before we heard the proposal. '' - Lowe// Bryant '83 Next, they invited Channels 6 and 7 news to interview students and teachers, surprising everyone when the cameras showed up. "When a kid came in class saying that Channel 6 was setting up outside, everyone got really excited," said Susan Gaffney '83. The controversy raged until passionate arguments for further study were presented by Mindy Briggs '82, Paul Rounds '83, and Lee Spann, vocal music instructor, at a jampacked board meeting. Yet the Council Bluffs Board of Education voted unanimously on Nov. 17 to raise specified requirements at AL and T J and put both schools on a seven-period day. " "We need electives more than we need ten extra minutes of class!" - Mickey Fairchild '83 Getting used to the new system wouldn't be easy, students learned when they made schedules for the fall. Out of 40 students polled, 30 said they had a hard time fitting in the classes they wanted to take. "Making out my schedule was a terrible hassle. There weren't many classes to choose from or much time left after I fit all my requirements into seven periods," said Ken Fiscus '84. Although all students lost a period, incoming sophomores seemed to suffer most since the requirement change had the biggest effect on them. Perhaps Randy Nitcher '85, summed up their feelings best when he said, " I've always heard there are so many options in high school, but I found out differently when I made out my schedule. I had so many requirements to fill that I didn't have any time left for the classes I wanted to take." I . WITH THE AID of Lucile Hoffman, Kim Johnson tries to schedule electives into a shorter day.

As early as June at a National Cheerleaders' I Association Camp, our pom-pon girls dazzled judges, who awarded them 56 superior ribbons, a spirit stick, and an overall spirit megaphone, and named captain Kaylene Achenbaugh '82, an NCA celebrity. "Before they gave out the award, everyone had to sit in a circle with their eyes closed," said Achenbaugh, who was chosen from more than 375 girls. "I could hear them walking around and around, and when they slipped the medal on my neck, I was so shocked that I couldn't do anything but cry!" With only seven members, Pep Club sizzled with spirit. They decorated football players' lockers, baked cupcakes for the basketball team, made posters, and accomplished more than larger squads had in the past four years.

Aside from sponsoriog this Red Cross Bank, giving a gift to each teacher of th8 month , and organizing two dances, Student Council members admitted that little was accomplished. In fact, most students felt the group failed to act as a student government organization. " My sophomore year, Student Council was really active in things like celebrating Lincoln's birthday, sponsoring inter-school activities, and arranging fundraisers," said Kricket Davis, Senior Class president. " But since then , the activities have gone down hill. " Many members felt a new method of choosing representatives contributed to their problems. To eliminate uneq~al representation among homerooms, the new system had each homeroom elect one student representative. "I understand the need to increase communications between the homerooms and the Student Council," said Susie Bronson '82, "but it turned out to be a popularity contest instead of an election of people who were really interested in participating.'' Many said they preferred the old system under which interested students had lf·E ·veryone wants to · be an active group, · . but few want to work. _::=__ Paula Nickles '83 JJ to have 30 students sign a petition for them and then be elected by their class to a board of representatives.

"We haven't had a decent band all year," said Junior Class president Lisa Wichman, "We wanted to get one that people would remember good things about." Another organization that experienced problems was the Foreign Student Club. Their original goals were to organize Christmas Dance and make foreign students feel welcome throughout the year. "Being the only exchange student this year, I was glad to know there were people who really wanted me to feel at home," said Australian Geoff Elliot '84, who was surprised with a Lynx jacket from the club. But in addition to purchasing the jacket and organizing Christmas Dance, many members agreed nothing else was accomplished. "Last year we had potluck dinners which 70 people would attend," said sponsor Lucile Hoffman, " but this year more kids have jobs and don 't have the time for many school activities. " The club had only nine members. As a result, instead of electing a slate of officers, the group appointed Gayle Swartz '83, as chairman . "Because our group was small, we lacked the support needed to recruit members or hold regular meetings," said Denise Kill '83. Thus, problems with recruiting and selecting members seemed to keep two formerly active groups from accomplishing much more than annual dances.

" After I fell , I was a little nervous about doing more stunts, but I knew I had to ," said Hansen. Perhaps the most difficult problem the girls had to solve was the $1700 deficit which had accumulated over the past four years. Due to the huge amount they had to pay off, cheerleaders did much more than cheer. They sold M&M's, glasses, and doughnuts; washed approximately 800 cars; plunged time and time again into the shallow water of dunking booths at West Fair and Hy Vee; teetertottered 30 hours during Homecoming; and even played a powderpuff football game with Lewis Central cheerleaders.

Much of their work began even before school started. As early as June they began dragging themselves out of bed hours before other students to learn and practice dances for the up-coming football season. "I think the porn pon girls promise greater dedication than any other group of athletes," said sponsor Cheryl Schmidt. "After all, their season is two-thirds of the year long." In July, 17 of the 23 girls attended the National Cheerleading Association summer camp at Okoboji, where professionals taught the newest dance techniques. "We learned how to move to different styles of music," said Lori Pope '83, "but most importantly, camp brought everyone on the squad closer together." In competition with more than 20 schools, the girls won trophies for the Best Home Rou-· tine choreographed by Kaylene Achenbaugh and for showing the most spirit. But many agreed that getting to know each other was the greatest result of camp. "Working like sisters helps to ease the nervousness I feel when performing in front of an audience," said Monica Nunez '83. The girls also realized that summertime provided a good chance to plan fundraisers, a top priority since the cost of being a porn pon girl had risen to more than $160. "We had car washes, garage sales, raffles, bake sales, clinics, and whatever we could think of to raise money so we didn't have to pay out of our own pockets," said Jodi Curttright '83. In September, the girls hosted a carnival, but after paying rental on the moonwalk, swings and game booths, they found themselves $100 in the hole. "It was a real flop, because it was scheduled for Labor Day weekend and everyone had other plans," said Suzy Evezic '84. A more successful fundraiser was a dance clinic for which the squad charged $5 per person. In a gym filled with 150 kids from ages 3 to 16, the girls taught basic dance skills. "It was fun because we could teach kids of all ages," said Kathy Kimball '83, "especially those who are interested in porn pons for high school." But the most cherished part of being a porn pon girl was the audience's response. "When the audience applauds, it makes me feel secure," said Lori Terveer '82, "because when they don't, I feel lost, like we didn't accomplish what we set out to do."

They were Flag T earn, Rifle T earn, and Pep Club members who devoted their time to add a special touch at athletic events. Although their contributions were noticed, few realized the obstacles these groups had to overcome. Because Flags wasn't offered as a class as it was in the past, members had to perfect routines on their own time. "We were constantly trying to improve, so I didn 't mind the practices before and after school," said Jeannette Lewis '83. A shortage of flags also slowed down progress. Three members had to march without banners until early October. "I didn't feel like part of the group until I had my flag ," said Jamie White '84. Despite the long practices and slow start, the girls agreed their efforts were worthwhile. One of their biggest rewards was the I rating they received for the auxiliary part of the band's performance at State Marching Contest. "We had a blast! " said Amy Ferguson '82. " Knowing we put on a good performance made it even better." Another group which had a slow start was Rifle Team. After one attempt at organiza- ., roups need team - f' work and motivation . to make it through. Rh~nda Bargenquast '84ff tion failed due to members' conflicting schedules, a second group of girls formed the first team in Council Bluffs. "It's hard getting people involved because it's something different," said Julie McGlade '83, but after we proved we were determined, people became interested." The six members devoted seven to ten hours a week to creating and perfecting routines. "It takes a lot of skill to develop rifle maneuvers," said Angela Simmons '83. "What really makes it hard is we have to teach ourselves everything from scratch." Although they began the year with a large group, Pep Club soon faced the familiar problem of declining membership. The seven girls who remained in the group weren't discour- . aged, though, as they worked together to add an extra spark of spirit. To celebrate Homecoming, they sold spirit buttons and porn pons and decorated Council Bluffs Stadium. "We wanted the alumni to have a Homecoming to remember," said Tammy Steenbock '84. Later, members recognized football and basketball players by decorating their lockers and giving them candy or cupcakes to spark some " quick energy" before big games. "We want all the athletes to know we believe in them," said Pam May '84. As the sports seasons ended, members of all three support groups agreed that although things didn't always go as smoothly as planned, the year was full of fun and accomplishments.

These familiar words rang through the Marching Lynx' ears as majorette Mary Kay Zach '82, called the band to attention in the afternoon sun shining on Shenandoah Stadium. After hours spent in the heat, rain, and snow learning the corps style of marching, the day of the State Marching Contest had finally arrived. "This was it, this was the time to put it all together," said Cathy Westphal '83. "I thought only of remembering everything I had learned and getting out there and doing my best." But the Lynx received a disappointing II rating, and even worse, learned that one judge had changed his first score to deprive them of a superior rating by just half a point. "If we had been ten points away and not just half a point, it wouldn't have been nearly as bad," said Sheryl Kraft '82. Members found their own ways to cope with the frustration, some teeter tottering in the Shenandoah elementary school playground to keep their mind off the scores. Others found quieter methods more effective . "On the way home, I thought about the mistakes I made," said Robert Gilson '84. " If I hadn't made them, maybe we could have gotten a better score."

But disappointing as contest was, most band members felt there was more to marching season than winning. After being thrown into marching ranks, they formed enduring friendships. "Contest was important, but so was making friends and having a crazy time," said Marsha Haines '83. As cold weather moved in, so did the band. Like marching season, concert months sometimes held disappointments, despite practice, practice, and more practice. " I was upset when I got only a second chair because the girl who got first was younger," said Theresa Wilson '84. "Even though I knew she was a better violinist, I kept practicing to try and beat her." For others, All-City tryouts on Jan. 13 held happy surprises. " I couldn't believe it," said Debbie Arrick '83. " I beat the girl who played first chair clarinet at All-State! " 0 ''1' l elaxing and enjoy- ! ~ able, band gives me ' ! . =~~=,~ ; a break from other classes.'' - Bruce Meyer J J Disappointments also dotted Pep Band's season as members felt the songs they played didn't match other schools' variety. Students made attempts to play new songs, but director Jim Misner told them a lack of instruments caused the limited selections. "We felt the songs we played were junior high level and were discouraged by it," said Jim Beck '82. As contests ended and the bands settled into an easier pace, Stage Band prepared for their annual trip to Conception Abbey in Missouri. "The food was terrible, but we had fun beating the monks at basketball! " said Alan Boucher '82. The orchestra also made preparations fo r performances, harmonizing for seasonal concerts, contests, the musical, and commencement. " All our performances come one after another, so I end up taking my violin home almost every night," said David Byers '83. Even though hardships had to be faced in room 232, students realized that with time and effort, their goals could be met. "Band is the same as any job in life," said John Johannes '83.

After taking a sandwich out of the plastic baggy, Kayne held the food up to Killion's mouth and brushed away the crumbs after each bite. This experiment, conducted at an all-day retreat at Camp Nyati, was designed to make choir members develop enough trust to be totally dependent on each other. "Overall, the purpose of the day was to help members get to know each other better and learn to work together," said vocal music director Lee Spann. "The retreat gave everyone a chance to become really good friends. At the end of the day we were all closer," said Karen Waters '82. Members said that working together was essential if the choirs were to become the best they could be. The New Design Swing Choir worked especially hard. After taking a disappointing third place in competition at Northwest Missouri State, singers "got their heads on straight and took every practice seriously," according to Shelly White '83, because they felt guilty about disappointing Spann and choreographer John Gibson. The result was taking first place against undefeated Indianola at a competition in Creston. "We were shocked and ecstatic when we heard that we beat out Indianola for first place. They were fantastic! But I guess we were just a little bit better," said Mary Kay Zach '82. Concert Choir also competed well. Members waited patiently until 10:30 p.m. to perform in front of the judges at large group contest. The vocalists' patience and two months of practice paid off when they walked away with the highest honor, a Division I rating. ·''0·, ur love for music outweighs almost every difference we have. - Jill Krabbe '83 J' "There was never any doubt in my mind that we would get a Division I rating, but I was still relieved when we heard the results," said Dan Bowlds '82. The Softones, a smaller group of nine girls, which was formed last year, sang for the Masonic Temple, St. Patrick's Church, 64 Club, Odd Fellows, and a variety of other community organizations. "Singing in a small group makes me feel special. I feel like I'm really neecied when only three altos are singing," said Mary Jo Rogic '83. Individuals also got their chance to perform solos and compete in small groups at Small Group Contest and All-State Choir. " I was so relieved when I heard that I had made All-State again, but I really didn't think I did as well as I could have," said Chris Jensen '83. Amidst concerts, competitions, and practices, the choirs found the time to take a break and have fun . In December, they held a Christmas party at Co Ha Village, where they ate, danced, exchanged presents, and played team games such as passing a Life Saver from person to person with only the aid of their mouths and a toothpick. " Everybody had such a good time at the party, because we were all so close and getting away from school made it possible for us to get crazy and let loose for a while," said Susan Schlemmer '82. In May, choir members concluded their year of work and play by rousting themselves out of bed as early as 4 a.m. to board three waiting buses that would take them to Kansas City's Worlds of Fun for a day of rides, shows, and laughter.

Raffling off chance.s to throw a pie in the face of an unlucky faculty member, Science Club offered one of the most unique and eagerly awaited fundraisers of the year. Like seven other academic clubs, Science hock describes our "S feelings when we received 300 orders for eggs. - Debbie Reed '84 JJ Club tried to lure students into spending bucks which would eventually send members on a fun-filled excursion. "Our raffle didn't make as much money as we had hoped ," said club president Mike Polson '82. " We made only about $25, but that's $25 less than we'll have to dig out of our own pockets for our trip to Kansas City this spring. " A trip to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City also provided inspiration for German Club members as they pushed Gummy Bears, Swiss chocolate, licorice whips, frosted pretzels, and other edibles. " If we sell $20 worth of candy, we get free admission," said Brad Wright '82, " so practically all of us will get in free. " Spanish Club hoped to travel farther than Kansas City, however. Vending machine candy, acrylic decorations, and nachos were just a few items the club peddled in hopes of making it to sunny Mexico in June . "The trip will be expensive , about $700," said Shelly Gilmore '83, "but thinking about swimming in the ocean and basking in the sun makes it worthwhile. " "HAPPY EASTER!"

"We thought we'd be happy if we sold 50 eggs and we ended up selling over 300!" said Dawn Miller '84. "The money we made , about $400", will be more than enough to take us through the Amana Colonies." One club preferred to spend its money at home rather than out of town.

Trying to conceal her laughter, Campbell casually tossed the little boy some candy and smiled. Such was the scene on May 15, as National Honor Society (NHS) members rode their float for the Pride Week Parade from Main Street to Bayliss Park. "We spent 12 hours l;>uilding the float so that it would get the theme across," said Shelley Morriss '82. To illustrate the theme "A Century Speaks Volumes," the NHS float consisted of a platform ruffled with blue crepe paper fringe and two large wooden gold and black books. One of the books bore the name "Fairy Tales" while the other had the inscription "Lynx Fables: Vol. 82" printed on it. Members dressed as various storybook characters smiled, waved, and tossed candy to energetic by-standers as the float passed. Computer date match-ups provided students with another opportunity to watch NHS in action. Those in search of the perfect match filled out questionnaires concerning hobbies, interests, and attitudes.

The lists sold for $1 each. "We aren't normally a very active group," said Roger Barge '82, " but this year we tried to overcome that and got involved in some unique projects." Key Club also showed its pride by becoming more active. For the first time, the club entered a float in the Pride Parade, but due to a downpour of rain, the float, filled with helium balloons, refused to keep its shape. I 'P ride in our club is why we sponsored · more activities than usual. - Roger Barge '82 J' After spending 38 hours constructing the layer cake-shaped float, members had to be creative in finding a solution. "Renee Gilson had to get inside and jump up and down so it would keep its shape," said committee chairman Delise Steadman '83. "Instead of a Jack-in-the-box, it was like a Jack-in-thecake!" Hosting a statewide convention for Key Clubs at the Holiday Inn, the club again showed its initiative. The convention, which took place over three days, included such activities as a banquet, a dance, and a toga party. The highlight of the event, however, came when Jammin Jay Taylor and Mark Evans of Sweet 98 appeared to act as D.J. 's. "It made everything seem so professional when they came," said Renee Gilson '83. Proudly showing off the school and its talents, Courtesy Club took tickets, escorted guests to their seats, and directed visitors around the building. Vocal State Small Group Contest, held at AL for the first time in several years, offered the club a unique chance to show visitors around. "We just sat around and told people when they could go into the rooms," said Diane Stebbins '83. "It was fun, though, because we got to meet a lot of new people." Baccalaureate and Commencement wrapped up the year for the 32 girls as they donned white gloves for the last time and added elegance to the event by wearing formals.

"We've never done a Shakespearean play before," said director Pat Dontchos. "We updated it as an experiment to test the reaction of students." Giving a punk twist to Shakespeare was quite a task for Thespians and other drama students. "We were going to have the fairies on roller skates," said Carrie Rois '84, "but several of us had never been on skates before, and they were too noisy." Dressed in gaudy costumes and sporting rainbow colored hair and faces, the fairies danced to the beat of punk instead. Members of the cast designed their own makeup. Fairies mixed oil base with glitter to create a shiny, mysterious look, some adding designs which suggested their characters' personalities. Peggy Button '84, for example, painted tiny spiders on her cheeks to signify that she was a mischievous fairy. " I used a red base with silver in it," said Susie Lara '83, "and it stained my face red. It looked like I had radiation burns after the performance." Although like Shakespeare himself, the cast used simple props to set the mood - a staircase, netting amidst the curtains, and benches along side the stage - problems still arose. ffj ~ ~ding c·urrent fads · hke punk and prep · · made the play a success. - Marsha Haines '83 J J A fog machine caused problems for the crew. "Whenever the fog was supposed to disperse, it lingered," said stage manager Dan Langdon '83. "It also made the stage very slippery for the cast members to walk on. " Before production could begin, the cast had to tackle a shortage of male actors. Only seven boys tried out, compared to 35 girls. Therefore, six girls had to play male roles. " I was rather shocked when I found out I had to play a 65-year-old man, " said Debbie Arrick '83, "but it was an interesting experience." Dontchos was pleasantly surprised by student turnout and enjoyment of the matinee performance. More than 650 students attended that performance, laughing in all the right places, applauding at the end of each scene, and making only one obscene catcall. Evening turnouts were a disappointment, however. Only 30 people attended Friday night and 75 Saturday night. " I was disappointed that so few attended," said Denise Winchester '83. "I thought it would be more like the roadshow or musical, but those present seemed interested and applauded every scene." " YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST HUMAN YOU SEE!"

There's no way I'll be able to find that much. You have to be crazy!" Although this was the cry of many new debaters, they found that with the broad national topic, education, even novices needed a lot of evidence. "For the first two months I spent almost every night after school and every weekend gathering evidence and organizing my case for corporal punishment," said Larry Anderson '83. But speakers and debaters found their time well spent, as they earned 25 trophies and 21 superior ratings to achieve the best season in Lynx history. On the average, debaters accumulated between 3,000 and 4,000 pieces of evidence, according to Marsha Grandick, debate coach. Gathering and organizing them in different categories demanded hundreds of hours and tons of file boxes. "We had so many file boxes that when I carried them, I could hardly see over them," said Vicki Witham '83. "Once Valarie was carrying them and fell down the stairs because she couldn't see! Needless to say, all our evidence was spilled on the floor. " While debaters searched for extensive evidence, speech students practiced after school an hour every week and an extra half hour every day the week before a tournament. A dedicated coach and extra effort helps us stay on top. - Rhonda Smith '83 J J To perfect memory, gestures and intonations, they often repeated their speeches 10 to 12 times each night. "It took a lot of effort to memorize my speech," said Dawn Smith '82, "but it was worth it when I got a Division I rating at State." Lowell Bryant '83, Trip Allen '83, Paul Rounds '83, and Crista Couch '82, won the most prestigious speech award, Super State, determined by the nominations of two out of three judges at the state contest. " I was glad to receive such an honor," said Bryant, "but I think Mrs. Grandick deserves most of the credit because she helped me so much. I just hope I have the opportunity to go again next year." Competing in eight out-of-town tournaments, debaters found that traveling could be as much fun as winning. "Mrs. Grandick's driving was exciting in its own · way," said Rounds. "Several times she would pull into a ditch, thinking it was a driveway , so we'd have to get out and push in our three-piece suits and dresses." But the challenge of competing, whether alone or with a partner, was the main reason many chose speech and debate. "There isn't a better feeling than victory," said Allen. "Convincing the judge is hard, but that challenge is what makes speech and debate competition fun."

Yearbookers found by January that the only way to meet deadlines was to schedule 3 p.m. to midnight work sessions every Thursday. "We were surprised when we had to resort to an all night work session every week when we had more staffers than last year, " Smoley said. "We learned that having a bigger staff is not necessarily better." The newspaper staff found that to meet their deadlines, .they often had to drag home T-squares, layout sheets, light tables, and exacto knives. "Mrs. Smoley was forever worried about our breaking a light table, but because so many of us worked after school, we had to meet for weekend layout sessions," said Shelly Gilmore '83 . But the hard work paid off. The Echoes staff received 29 individual writing awards, Iowa High School Press Association's Sweepstakes Trophy, and Runner-Up Best Newspaper at UNO. Three stories took first in the state, and Connie Johnson's story on Thurman Johnson's resignation went on to take third in the National Press Women's Contest. "I was glad it was that story," Johnson said. "I was given the responsibility of handling the controversial topic and I made my own decisions about it." The Crimson and Blue staff also won its share of awards. Taking a first in almost every category entered at Northwest Missouri State Journalism Day, the yearbook staff won the Sweepstakes Trophy for the second year. In addition, the staff achieved long awaited Five-Star All-American and Medalist awards on the 1981 book, and the '82 book was chosen as a National Showcase Sample for the third straight year. The best encouragement to work harder, however, came when the '81 book became one of 26 in the nation chosen for a Gold Crown nomination by Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

Red Alert! Attention all organizations! All deficits need to be erased by the end of the school year! After summer break, teachers returned to school shocked to learn that incoming Principal James Gaffney had made major changes in the handling of clubs' funds. Under the previous activity fund system, all the money raised by each group was put into a general fund , according to Bev Crousehorn, treasurer, and it was then transferred between activities as needed. Under the new method , each club's money would be put into a separate account and be spent only by its members. Since debts would not be paid off by other clubs' profits, 13 organizations started the year with negative balances. · "We decided to change the system because many activities were in the red , and it isn 't fair to ask other groups to subsidize the overspending," said Gaffney. " Next year we are planning to buy a new computer to han- . ''F undraisers build closer relationships within a club. " - Terri Dominguez '83 die the money, and it won 't accept negative balances." For some teachers, the new system was good news. " I'm relieved that they won't transfer funds this year," said Peggy Rodriguez, German Club sponsor. " It used to upset me that our hard earned money could be transferred to other activities." 84 special feature For others, paying off the large deficit caused fear. "I knew there was no way we could earn the money for a $2,000 debt and still put out a good newspaper," said Linda Smoley, newspaper adviser. ''F undraisers are a pain to run and to motivate kids to do." Jim Misner, Band A few clubs tried to escape the red, but most didn't succeed. Cheerleaders started the year with a $1 ,607 deficit and by Feb. 28, after a dozen fundraisers, they were still in debt $715. But administrators didn 't expect clubs to raise the money without help. To bolster the general fund, from which debts could be paid, they planned an all-school candy sale and a Hawkeye Chili Supper. The candy sale sparked controversy, however, as students and teachers complained that it was immature and time consuming. " I can see junior high kids doing it, but not with my time schedule ," said Scott Rash '82. Instructor Thurman Johnson cited the sale's competition with local businessmen as one of the main reasons for his sudden resignation. But for a few students, the candy sale was exciting. Kelley Murray '82, said she sold ten cases by going to businesses. " I had fun selling, and I won a $25 prize in the school drawing," she said. But administrators were disappointed that only 140 students participated. " We could have earned more money , but those few who sold candy did a great job," said Michael Messerli, assistant principal. Like the candy sale, the Hawkeye Chili Supper and Basketball Clinic, held Nov. 5, did not raise as much money as desired. " Our goal was to raise $1 ,200, but we profited only $351 ," said Messerli. " Even though we didn 't raise as much money as we hoped to, a lot of people showed up and it turned out to be a good evening." In general, deficits were not wiped out immediately, but many groups made plans to manage money better. For instance, the Echoes staff found a less expensive printer, decided to sell subscriptions, and budgeted $1 ,000 through Central Office's Academic Activity Fund. " I feel really good that this administration has pushed us to be more financially responsible, and helped us find alternatives," Smoley said. "Holding so many fundraisers left us little time to plan Prom." - Lisa Wichman '83 Several other teachers were pleased with the recently established account at Central Office which budgeted money for academic activities. " We've never had it so good," said Spann. " It used to be a game in which the club sponsors would beg the person in charge to give their club more money."

A After weeks of hot, dusty practice, the boys' cross country team snatched a second place finish in districts and sprinted straight to State for the first time since 1975. "After we began winning all of our big invitationals, we thought we might make it to State," said Bruce Meyer '82. "When we finally qualified, we· were so excited that we ran around shouting and holding up our medals! " Lady Lynx' hot feet burned their competitors as the girls raced to first place finishes at three invitationals, four duals, and the CB Relays. "We were so shocked when we took first at Harlan by only one point," said Jill Lytten '82. "Everyone was crazy on the way home, throwing orange peels and jammin' to the radio. " In the sweltering heat of plastics, wrestlers cut pounds, but not talent. Finishing 8-1 overall, the team blasted their Metro contenders off the mat to win their first Metro Championship since 1979, and went on to qualify five members for State. "I GOT YOU NOW!"

"Next year, I'm going to work hard to be first!" Bursting with excitement, a handful of girls' gymnasts nabbed their first meet victory in three years. Scoring over 100 points for the first time in ten meets, the girls' sparky attitudes helped them gain their overdue victory ·against North. "That was the first meet we've won since I've been competing," said Therese Ocken '82. "We celebrated with a pizza party afterwards!" Defeating Ryan 19-0, football players, too, tasted an overdue victory. An undying spirit pushed the team to their final game and first win in 21 games and two seasons. "The bus on the way back was pandemonium," said Jason Hale '83. "Nothing but that win mattered!" Tackling competition with dedication, our athletes strove together towards success. And whether or not their records showed it, they were slowly heading in the direction of the ultimate rank - first! s p orts 87 ROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS ltiGlt ON STATE TRip (( T here's nothing like a runner's high. You get out of the shower and you feel like you can do anything!" said Dan Field '83. That feeling of power swept through the cross-country team as it captured three dual wins and a first and a second place victory. "Every time we took a first place, it just boosted our confidence," said Dave Brokman '82. · Their confidence grew even stronger after the East Invitational at Sioux City, where the boys defeated all but one of the teams they would run against at districts. Suddenly, they felt certain they would be the first Lynx team since 1976 to earn a trip to State. That goal caused the boys to work harder than ever. "While training for districts we ran a lot of hills, five to eight miles on the streets, and one to three sets of triangles," said Tony Houseman '84. "Knowing there was a chance to go to State, we pushed ourselves harder. " Their grueling workouts paid off when Mike Lee '83, took first place and the team placed second in districts at Sioux City. Runners increased triangle workouts two weeks before State. In these practices, they pushed uphill, sprinted downhill, and jogged across the terrace, repeating the process five times per set. "First we jogged a f ~w miles on the streets; then we came back to the course and ran triangles. It was really tiring," said Brokman. Again the team was rewarded as they placed eleventh in State, with Lee capturing second. "The first thing I did after crossing the line was to find Mr. Freeman and hug him," Lee said. The next two finishers for the Lynx were Field at forty-first, and Houseman with a sixty-seventh place finish. Although the girls didn't get to State, they ran the same workouts as the boys, with lesser distances. They ended the season with a 2-2 dual record, and third place finishes in two invitationals. The top two runners were juniors Kim Heater and Marcia Whitney. The girls felt friendships played an important part in forming a strong team. "All of us girls got along great!" said Mary Furler '82. Both teams agreed that Coach Mick Freeman, named Cross-Country Coach of the Year for Boys' Class AAA, helped to instill in each runner the drive to improve. "I thought it was great that Freeman was named Coach of the Year!" said Kathy Wolff '82. "He helped me when I ran badly by telling me what I did wrong and promising I'd do better next time."

BANG! A deafening roar echoed from the crowd. Players and coaches jumped up and down, hugging each other wildly. Tears rolled down the cheeks of senior girls. AL had just defeated Ryan 19-0 to capture its first victory in two seasons. "This was one game we knew we could win," said Bret Taylor '83. "It was nice to go home not having to hold our heads down." Rated third in the National Conference as the season opened, players dared to hope for their first winning season in seven years and tried hard to develop a more serious attitude. "This year was different," said John Hawkins '82. "On the bus we thought about strategies instead of our plans after the game." Their concentration was evident in the season opener as the Lynx held the Titans to a scoreless first half. But in the second half, LC scored twice to make it 14-0, shattering Lynx hopes for victory. "After the LC game, I felt terrible," said Jason Hale '83. "Everyone thought, 'Not this again.' " Spirits sagged even lower as AL lost its next three games before the Oct. 2 dual against crosstown rival T J. "Everybody knew we were better than T J," said Dan Feller '82. "All we had to do was prove it." On the chilly 36 degree night, fans piled into CB stadium for what promised to be AL's first win. When the gun sounded, fans trickled out, staring in disbelief at the 20-0 score. "We were very disappointed," said Stan Torneten '82. "I think we were too confident when we played T J." After the T J game, coaches faced lagging practices in which players struggled just to get through the two hours of workouts. "When you keep getting beaten, you have to keep it worthwhile for the coaches as well as the kids," said Coach Larry Argersinger. "The kids didn't sluff off; we just thought of things to make it fun." Most players agreed the relaxed atmosphere gave them a better attitude and helped them achieve their victory against Ryan. The team also peaked with individual accomplishments. Steve Place '82, finished second in the conference for pass receiving with 296 yards on 30 catches; Nate Storey '83, ended the season with 402 yards in 120 carries; Feller led the team with 101 assisted and unassisted tackles; and Torneten's 93 tackles earned him a full scholarship to UNO.

Burns erupts with a shriek of ecstasy. Backhuus has caught the ball. With that victory, the sophs finished their season 5-3. "I can't believe the ball just fell into my hands! I thought for sure I'd drop it!" said Backhuus moments after the successful catch. "We'll always remember that game since it was our last one, and we wanted to win so badly," said Jeff Moats '84. Statistics showed that top players were Anthony Mitchell '84, who rushed 110 yards against South; Wright, who gained 73 yards against Millard North; and Pat Davis '84, who excelled in many positions, such as noseguard, defensive tackle, and linebacker. Doug Coburn '84, gave another reason for the wins. "We all worked together to win because we got along so well, both players and coaches," he said. Players recalled the time Brian Corzine '84, was kicked off the field after being accused of striking a Bellevue East player. In the next practice, Coach Joe Hauser said Corzine would have to run 200 yards of drills for punishment. The team stuck by Corzine's side, suggesting that everyone run 50 yards instead of Corzine running 200. The coach agreed, and Corzine thanked his buddies for the rescue. Ending with a 2-5 record, the JV team had a different story to tell. "Sometimes when things are getting rough, and we're losing by umpteen points, I feel like walking off the field and into the stands just to sit with my mom!" said Troy Ronnfeldt '83. One of their two wins was to T J, 7-0. " I'm glad it was T J. I can't think of any other team I'd rather beat! " said Pat Steenbock '83. As for the five losses, Gary Addison '83, offered one explanation. " People don't realize that footba ll is a physical and a mental game ," he said. " Many players are physically prepared, but not mentally, such as getting their timing right. We need the two working together." According to coaches, outstanding JV players were Phil ·Morrison '83, at cornerback, Kurt Mann '83, on the defensive line, along with Russ Goeser '83, and Kenny Thompson '83, at linebacker.

Twelve eyes were peeled on the ball as it was vollied over the net time after time. When it finally fell to the floor in Ryan's court, hugs and squeals followed relieved sighs. The volleyball team had finally won one. They finished with a 1-8 record. "That win proved to us that we weren 't just a bunch of losers," said Lisa Claussen '84. One of the team's biggest prob- !ems was the loss of its only seniors. Jill Lytten was injured early in the season and Gina Behrens quit, leaving only four juniors and 15 sophomores. "When Gina quit, we felt we had to try harder to win," said Koesters. "We knew the team wasn't composed of only one person." But despite their efforts, the team found the competition tough. "There are a lot of girls with potential," said Coach Jan Lyle, "but being so young, they lack the experience they needed to play against seniors." To fire up for games, each team member went to her own little spot to stretch, warm up, and think about what she was going to do. Then the girls burst onto the court as a team. But as the season continued, the team found it harder and harder to keep spirits up. "It was really tough to go out and play teams when you knew that you were probably going to lose anyway," said Jacque Hyde '84. Although mental attitudes worsened, Lyle said skills continued to improve. She named most improved players as Wendy Cox, who made 71 points for the season; Krista White, who made 94 percent of her serves good; Lisa Claussen, who returned over 70 percent of her serves; and Amy Petersen, who was picked for the all-city team.

The time it takes to blink an eye. Not much, huh? But for swimmers, tenths of seconds became all important measures of time as the team succeeded in breaking 15 school records. "A tenth of a second can mean the difference between first and sixth place in a SO-yard event and first and second in a 100-yard event," said Paula Hartfield '82. Girls broke six school records, with Hartfield setting four of them in the 200-meter individual medley, the 100-yard and 100-meter butterfly, and the 400-meter freestyle. " I don't think about breaking records. I try to go out and do my best and if I do, I'm so happy I jump up and down," Hartfield said. Other record times were set by Jackie Johnson '82, Julie Johnson '84, Joyce Fetrow '85, and Hartfield in the 400-meter freestyle relay and ~y Kricket Davis '82, in the 100-yard breast stroke. "I was beginning to think I'd never do it; then finally it happened in the finals at Metro," Davis said. The team topped last year's records despite the loss of former coach Jane Peters and lead backstroker Sondra Schumacher '83. "We missed the fun, both added, and with Sondra being our only backstroker, we had to recruit more sophomores and freshmen to help the team, " Hartfield said. Breaking records wasn't the only thing that made the season pleasurable. Winning five of seven meets also kept team spirits rising. " The CB Invitational was the most memorable," said J oni Flynn '84, " because we got a trophy for third place." Although the boys didn't do as well as the girls, they broke nine school records and finished 4-4. Leading the team, Chuck Fetrow '83, broke six records in the 200- meter, 200-yard, 50-meter, 100- meter, 400-meter, and 500-meter freestyle. " I felt relieved when I won, but someday someone will break my records," Fetrow said. Dick Chopra '83, also set a record in the 100-meter butterfly, improving his time by more than one second. " I was surprised when I found out; I didn't think I was going that fast," Chopra said. Fetrow and Chopra were also a part of two winning relay teams. With Eric Coleman '84, and J ay Mclellan '85, the 200-meter medley team finished with a time of 2:09. 764 at the CB Invitational. " It was great being on the team that set a record; hopefully my name will be around for a while," Coleman said. The 400-meter freestyle team, consisting of Stan Torneten '82, Chopra, Fetrow, and Mclellan, also broke the record at the CB Invitational by 3.33 seconds. " Even though we were a team, most effort was individual. If any of us messed up, we felt it was our own fault," said T orneten. ''Metro was so exciting since a lot of swimmers made it to finals.

" said Coach Dennis Devault in his pep talk before sectional tournament play against T J. And the Lady Lynx believed him. Having beaten T J twice before in regular season play, the Lynx burst out onto the court full of confidence. But in a replay of the '81 season, AL fell to the Y ellowjackettes 7 2- 67, ruining the Lynx chances of advancing to State and bringing their season to an abrupt 7-11 end. " All I could think about was ending my high school career losing to T J," said Gina Behrens '82. " I was really disappointed." But even the defeat at sectionals couldn't erase the memory of delighting fans with victories over the Jackettes at home and away. "Seeing the girls beat T J was a real thrill," said Suzy Evezic '84 . "What exciting games!" Another memorable event was the defeat of Clarinda, who was rated as one of the best defenses in the state. " Nobody thought we'd beat them," said Kim Heater '83, " but we put forth our best effort. But overall, the players remembered the season as one of heartaches for themselves and their coach. With only one returning starter, the team's success depended on the ability of younger players, which was put to the test several times. On the morning of an important St. Albert game, two veterans, Behrens and Carol Koesters '83, left school with the flu . " Everyone felt really pressured to make up for the loss of two key players," said Jill Lytten '82. Attempts were made by Lytten and sophomores Dee Christensen, Susan Draper, and Amy Petersen to run an offense comparable to that of I<oesters and Behrens. Christensen and Draper tallied 13 points each and Christensen shot 90 percent from the free throw line to pace the Lynx. In the guard court, Kim Behrens '83, pulled down eight rebounds and Julie Devereaux '82, grabbed three rebounds and three steals. Yet, the team could score only 37 points to St. Albert's 61. "Sometimes you want something so badly, you just can't accomplish much, " said Devault. A string of such losses finally led parents to submit a petition requesting that Devault give up his position. " I think it really put a strain on the coach, and especially on those players whose parents signed it against the desire of their children," said Jill Krabbe '83. The letter prompted Devault to say he would make a later decision about coaching another season. " If they succeed in terminating me, they won't find a coach who knows the game like I do," Devault said. The junior varsity came through their season with a 7-8 record. Amy Petersen '84, was chosen best forward performer, and Jacque Hyde '84, and Marcia Whitney '83, were named best performers in the guard court. Petersen had a 12.3 percent average per game and shot 67 percent from the free throw line . Hyde had 88 rebounds, and Whitney grabbed 32 steals for the year.

Brown remembered all too well that he had promised Crum before the game a dollar per dunk. But despite Crum"s 25 points, the Lynx were defeated 69-56 in the first district game against Lewis Central, bringing their· final record to 2-17. Although 17 losses can dampen anyone's season, players agreed that beating cross town rival T J was a big morale booster. " We were all so excited because the score was so close! Our fans were supportive, and we didn't want to let them down," said Jeff Ballenger '83. Yet teammates said the most memorable games were the last three of the season. First, the Lewis Central game, lost - by only four points, inspired the team to play Milla rd North into overtime. But even more impressively, the team hustled Benson, rated second in Nebraska, to a point spread so minimal that Benson players admitted after the game that they no longer took AL lightly. " You never would have known we'd lost! We were all laughing and talking about how well we played!" said Jon Schlemmer '83. Teammates cited junior-senior conflicts as the season's major problem. "There was individual talent, but we couldn't make it as a team because some seniors felt they were better than juniors and should be played ahead of them," said Crum. "These conflicts jeopardized court play. It got to a point where some juniors and seniors wouldn't even pass the ball to one another. " But Coach John Moore explained his philosophy. "If seniors want to play, they have to be much better than the underclassmen, not just as well as them. We have to spend our time with juniors so they can keep improving for next year. " Many players felt that such conflicts were the reason senior Stan Torneten quit early in the season. Torneten's only comment was, "I just wasn't having any fun at all!" Most of the team, however, felt humor was the only thing that kept them alive all season. Everyone said that Moore and Kurt Mortensen '82, always had funny stories to tell. Sometimes even mistakes provided humor. Although interviewed players voted Crowl most valuable, he managed to increase Lewis Central' s score by two when he shot at the wrong end of the court. Yet everyone seemed light-hearted about the incident. Even Moore was chuckling on the sideline. " I didn't feel too badly about the situation. Everyone was playing backwards that night!" said Crowl. Although humor seemed to brighten spirits throughout the season, some players felt that it might have contributed to the losses. " Humor is fine sometimes, but game time is serious. Some players took games as lightly as they took practice," said Bret Taylor '83. Players admitted that Phil Nielsen, P.E. instructor, once told them they were one of the most undisciplined teams in the Metro League, from which eight players went on to receive full scholarships to play basketball at major universities. " Even though the Metro League was tougher than ever this year, we could've worked harder. We can't make excuses; we just had a bad year, " said Scott Rash '82.

As his mind began to wander, he could still hear the faint murmur of the boring lecture. He pictured himself sprinting up and down the gym floor, barely able to breathe. He imagined himself collapsing with a sharp pain puncturing his side. Suddenly, he r~turned to reality to feel a chill creep through his spine. " How horrible! I hope our coach isn't that tough! " he said to himself. " I wonder how many games we'll win." Questions and fears such as these haunted many sophomore players. "It was scary at first because we were new, and we didn't know what to expect of the program," said Bob Page '84. Despite their anxieties, hard work boosted the sophs to six wins. They were able not only to blow a couple teams off the court, but also to out-hustle teams to the very end to obtain a few close wins. " I remember the Millard South game because we won 50-49. It was so close!" said Brad He:nmingsen '84. "We knew we had to give that extra push to win." "The St. Albert games really stick out in my mind because we would prepare all week for them," said Roger Mortensen '84. " After beating them the first time by 14 points, we wanted to improve our score. We worked at it, and the second time we won by 20!" As for the ten losses, Anthony Mitchell gave one explanation. " Every team has a low point in their season, and ours came at a time when we played a couple of teams we should have beaten. We should have beaten Ralston; we only lost by five," he said. Scott Schamel '84, also tried to explain. "Our strong point was hustling. We even managed to out hustle a few teams to win, but some teams simply overpowered us with individual talent," he said. With a record of 5-12, the JV team had a similar season. According to players, the JV's hustled just as well, if not better, than the sophs. Coach Dave Brown told the team at practice that because of their hustle, they sometimes played above their potential. "It was the main reason we were able to grab five wins," said Tom Wichman '83. But when the small winning streak ceased, the team seemed to encounter one problem after another. "it really knocked our spirits over when we lost the Benson game," said Jason Hale '83. " I tried to score a last basket and got fouled. It was never called!" Before the T J game, Jeff Ballenger '83, and Hale moved to varsity, and two sophomores took their place. This action seemed to cause a communication gap among players. "We hadn't practiced with them.at all, and we weren't used to the absence of two regular players," said Jon Schlemmer '83. After the T J game, the Lynx lost to Lewis Central in overtime 77-75. "This was another letdown because we worked so hard to win," said Roger Peckham '84. Discouraged, the team went on to play Millard North, losing by five points. "We were so upset by previous losses, we handed them the game," said Tom Thorn '84.

We sometimes gave it to a friend, our sweetheart, our job, a class. Some of us gave it to a sport. For the 36 wrestlers who won the Metro Championship, established an 8-1 record, and placed first or second in six tournaments, dedication was essential. They endured sweaty hour and a half practices every night after school, dragged themselves out of bed by 7 a.m. to run endless laps around the gym, and cut their weight to the bare minimum. For some, that meant sitting in a steaming whirlpool to lose a pound, or starving for days only to take a forfeit at the meet. "If you make practices, you might make weight. If you miss one practice, you can tell the difference and so can the coach. If you miss two, everyone can tell," said Jeff Gearhart '82. "You can't slack off - ever. To me, that's dedication." Dedication also interrupted social lives as wrestlers spent free time at home studying or sleeping so they wouldn't have to fight the temptation to eat if they went out with friends. "I had to quit my job to make time for wrestling," said Harry Poulos '83. "I always had to be conditioning, so I just stayed home more. It made things easier." Wrestlers felt that winning the Metro Championship proved their devotion. "We took the title because we trained harder and wanted it more than any team there, " said Rusty Metcalf '82. "We may have had less experience, but we had more heart than any of them." Dedication was only part of the reason for the team's success. "Everybody was so close . It was like an invisible bond held us together," said Denise Kill '83, manager. "We could joke and pick on each other without getting mad. We were like a family." At the head of the family was Coach Clark Allen, who most wrestiers said was a major reason they did so w~ll. "Mr. Allen got us in shape and kept us in shape," said Pat Gilman '82. "If he got on our case about something, it was because he cared and wanted us to get better. " The matmen proved that Allen had "been on their case" when Gilman, Bart Taylor '84, Jeff Randall '83, Dan Feller '82, and John Weaver '82, all qualified for State with Taylor bringing home third place in the 119-pound class. "It was great going to State because it was something I'd worked for all year," Taylor said. The team's only disappointment was losing to LC 32-21. "I thought we stood a good chance of beating LC," said Russ Goeser '83, " but when Pat lost that first match to Higgins, everyone started to worry. Maybe that's why we lost." Although their nearly perfect record was marred by that loss, wrestlers ended their season proudly, knowing they had outscored their opponents 361-118 for the season.

"You look like you were hit by a truck!" "Oh, they hit, kicked, and tackled me; then they jumped on me and almost killed me," Townsend mumbled, barely moving his sore jaw. "Who? A gang?" asked a student. "No, the team we played last night in intramural basketball, " groaned Townsend. Rough play was not unusual in what players called a very physical season. Many players blamed referees. " I don't think all the teams are dirty, just a few," said Jay Christians '82. "The problem is that referees don't do anything about the fouls and it just gets worse." But refs said it was hard to catch everything. " It's not really our fault," said Jon Schlemmer '83. "We try to call all the obvious fouls, but it's so crowded you can't always see. " Although roughness was common, most boys agreed they played intramural ball for the fun and easycome, easy-go attitude. "I guess the reason I play intramural ball is that competition is there without having to practice all night. We just show up at games and play," said Brad Hansen '82. Of the eight teams who participated, only one practiced regularly. "We practiced once a week," said Mike Lange '82, captain of the SOB's, " but we quit because it wasn't helping and it was becoming a hassle." The Marauders, who finished 8-0, including a vict9ry over the KMTV All-Stars, didn't seem to need much practice. "Beating the KMTV All-Stars was the highlight of our season," said Todd Christians '83. " Everyone thought we were just a bunch of guys playing ball, but we showed them we were a whole lot more than that." But it was not an easy victory for the Marauders, who trailed by nine points at one time during the game and scored the winning bucket with just one second left. Dan Buehler '82, the Marauders' manager, set up the game with the All-Stars. " I got the idea when I heard KMTV sportscaster Terry Yeager talk about the All-Stars," Buehler said. Before meeting the All-Stars, the Marauders knocked off the 6-0 Bronx Bombers for the regular season championship. The see-saw battle didn't end until the final seconds of the game when the Marauders scored to win by one point. Overall, Tim Harvey '83, took top scoring honors with an average of 18.2 points per game, followed closely by Kevin Coburn, who averaged 17.9. Almost all players agreed that it was a great year of basketball. " Even though play sometimes got rough, it was great having eight teams participate. I think this was the best season since I've been here," said Bill Bourne '82.

When the Lady Lynx tracksters needed a mental boost, a Simon was chosen, and the others lined up to follow her commands. "Simon Says was a break from the pressure that built up before a meet," said J ody Miner '83. While mental preparation was important, so were the physical workouts each night after school. After running four 300-yard sprints, girls sometimes cried in agony. Kim Heater '83, found herself on the ground, writhing with pain more than once. "The only thoughts I had were, 'When is this practice going to end, and why does Batten make us run so much' "Heater said. The team's perseverence was evident as it finished with a 4-0 dual record, five firsts, a second, and a third place victory. The girls took their first big victory at the South Sioux City Invitational, topping Sioux City East by four points to take the title. "We worked hard for the win, and when it happened, we knew it was the beginning of a successful season," said Susan Draper '84. As their winning season continued, individuals stood out. Dee Christensen '84, took first at almost every meet and set school records in the shot and discus. " Whenever I'd win a first place, I felt happy because I knew I was doing my part," Christensen said. Christensen was also one of eight girls to qualify for State. Others were Draper; juniors Angie Parks, Kim Behrens, and Heater; and seniors Kathy Wolff and Monica Hodge. Christensen placed fifth in the shot, throwing 39'6" for a school record. The distance medley consisting of Draper, Heater, Parks, and Wolff placed ninth with a time of 4:22. 71, breaking the school record by four seconds. "We had to run in the rain, and everyone was wet and miserable, so we were pleased that some of our times were still lower," Draper said. Even though their season was not as fulfilling as the runners' , the gymnastics team had triumphs. The most memorable moment was their 106 - 7 5 .1 victory over North, where they scored over 100 points for the first time in three years. "We were so hyped-up that we had a party to celebrate," said Marcia Stone '83. With a 1-4 dual record and an eleventh place finish at Metro, the girls depended on togetherness and craziness to help them through the season. " At Metro, Kelly Gross brought a Kermit, taped him to a railing so he could watch the meet, and made him do flips. It was hilarious!" said Lisa Gallo '83. Although they didn't achieve a winning record, the girls improved by decreasing last year's point spreads more than forty points per meet.

Another boom interrupted their thoughts. "Tied for second place, T J and Lewis Central, with 91 points each." Screams of victory and excitement filled the stands even before first place was announced. The boys' track team, with 95 points, had just won CB Relays. "It was so close! We knew we were in the top three, a nd when third and second places were announced, we went crazy!" said Chris Beno '83. Points were dead even until the last three events, the mile medley, the mile relay, and the 440-yard dash. AL scored high in each. In contrast to that sunny afternoon, the Red Oak Invitational was marred with a downpour of rain. "It was just pouring!" said Kyle Jones '84. "But despite that, and tough competition, we still managed to take sixth place!" To achieve wins, the team practiced strenuously, warming up each afternoon with a mile jog and then continuing with individual workouts including weight lifting, sprinting, and distance running. "Practices were tough, but those who really worked gained from it," said Mike Lee '83. The hard workouts obviously weren't for everyone, as the team dropped from more than 30 members to 20 by districts. Bryan Whitfield, '83, who quit early in the season, said, "Because some boys couldn't take the workout, they felt they wouldn't be good enough to compete." Others had to give up track because of unexpected injuries. "Some runners weren't in good shape before they started practice. This resulted in a few leg injuries," said Beno. The remaining 20 members carried the team to plenty of victories, not only winning both dual meets, but also placing high in every invitational. Outstanding contributions were made by Lee, who set an indoor record in the mile and took second place in the two-mile at UNI; Jones, who took first place in the 100-yard dash at the district meet in Sioux City; and Dave Clark '82, who took first place in the high jump at districts . . .This meet qualified both Jones and Clark for State competition.

Yet Neilsen was pleased with the boys' efforts, which put them in a tie for sor.ond in the Metro with a 6-2-1 record. "I think this group did a fantastic job," he said, "and I was really surprised after we lost two great golfers in Todd Norman and Derek McMains." Yet, players recalled disappointing moments.

After a nearly perfect record of 5- 0 in the spring and 10-1 in the fall, the boys qualified two players for State Tournament. "With this being our senior year, we've worked extra hard because it's our last chance to leave our names in the record book, " said Kurt Mortensen '82. Coach John Moore said the players were not necessarily blessed with high tennis ability but rather worked hard at the game . " I think most players on the team are just over achievers who really want to win," he said. Players agreed their incredible record was due partially to the extra time they spent practicing. "Last summer I would practice four to five hours a day," said Roger Barge '82. "Then I continued to practice inside during the winter to stay in shape. " Barge finished the season 10-1 , setting a new singles record. Players also gave Moore credit for their winning margin. "He's a great coach who takes a lot of interest and pride in his players," said Matt Stubblefield '82. "He's like one of the guys in the way he manages to make our matches fun and competitive." One especially exciting · match came early in the season against highly rated Ottumwa, with a score of 4-3. " It was a tough win, but it gave us the incentive we needed to keep on trying, " said Joe Foroughi '83. But the real highlight of the season came at districts, when Mortensen and Scott Rash '82, qualified for State. "It was the most exciting time of my tennis years," Rash said. " We came from behind to win." During their high school career the six seniors on the team experienced the joy of winning 38 out of 51 matches, so some felt that an era of tennis was at an end. "The seniors on the team have had lots of experience from playing together for so long," said Mortensen. " It's going to be tough for next year's players." With a season quite the opposite of the boys' , the Lady Lynx were 0- 9 going into the City Tournament. One problem was the team's inexperience. "With 11 of our 15 players being sophomores, we just didn't have the experience behind us that it took to win against juniors and seniors who have played for five or six years," said Susie Clinton '84. Girls also said unusually severe spring weather kept them from practicing. " Every time we were to practice on the courts, it would rain or snow, so we would do conditioning exercises instead," said Jayne Nelson '84. "Someone different was a winning factor at every match." " O.K. HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO ...

Go!," shouted JV players and Coach Larry Flannery, as Jay Christians '82, darted toward third base. Flannery gave Christians the signal to hit the dirt as the ball zipped toward third, and the runner responded by hitting the deck a split second before the ball was caught. "SAFE!" the umpire shouted, as the bench went wild with enthusiasm. This kind of enthusiastic play was typical of a highly motivated JV team during the '81 summer season. "This team was a joy, they had pride in themselves as players and pride as a team. There were no problems," Flannery said. The team members' dedication led them to a 21-12 summer finish and a record-br_eaking 30-18 overall. The team also racked up 121 stolen bases in only 128 tries. Christians led the team in stolen bases with 26 in 28 tries. Nate Storey '83, posted the best batting average with a .388, followed closely by Brad Hansen '82, with .366. Hansen also kept the team in high spirits, ripping seven homers, a new JV record, according to Coach Bob Burns. Chuck Page '83, was the best fielder, scooping 98.4 percent of the balls hit to him. On the other hand, varsity players and coaches expressed disappointment with their season. "The team wasn't used to having to play defense and score runs, " said Burns. "They were used to having great pitchers who could strike out batters, so when the time came to score runs and play good defense, they couldn't handle it; they didn't have the spirit." Varsity players admitted they lacked dedication. " I don't know what our problem was other than no spirit or dedication," said Kevin Colike a good excuse, but we didn't have any." Although the team ended with a 18-1 record, varsity players said they weren't together. In a game against Paul VI, for example, they were up by six runs in the seventh inning, but with many mental and throwing errors, they lost by one run. "We never had our act together," said Burns. "We were constantly getting beaten by our own mistakes mentally and physically. The team never had the desire or drive to win." But when the '81 summer JV team moved up to become the varsity of '82, Burns said the attitude of the team ranked fourth in the state was one of enthusiasm and spirit even though it was the first Lynx team forbidden to compete in a spring season. According to Burns, the Iowa High School Athletic Association rule forbidding spring play had been in effect for three years, but the Lynx had been allowed to participate in the spring because they compete in the Metro Conference, which starts early. Most players hated the rule . " I don't like the rule at all," said Hansen. "By the time we play our first Omaha team, they'll have 20 games on us, but we're practicing hard to make up for it. " "The JV had what it takes; we didn't." - Kevin Coburn '83. "GOT IT!" Todd Rocha jumps high in the a ir to grab a throw from catcher Eric Dunlop a game with the Tigers.

As she wiped away a bead of perspiration, she heard her teammates cheering for her from the dugout. Her palms choked on the bat. Seconds after the pitcher released the ball, Petersen sent it with a resounding smack over the center field fence. Hitting her fourth homerun in the first game of the season, Petersen helped crush Sidney 36-7. Petersen was among six freshmen to see varsity action. Although freshmen dominated the roster, which included only five seniors, the team acquired a 16-9 record. "We were very young in key positions," said Coach Bob Pettepier, "but the team worked well together. " The girls attributed their winning record to their closeness. "If it weren't for my teammates, I would have never made it through the season," said Carol Koesters '83. Such support was needed during the T J game, which was the team's biggest disappointment. "We should have won," said Koesters, "but when they started scoring, we fell apart." The Yellowjackettes were ahead just one run in the fifth inning, but the Lady Lynx couldn't hold out. T J defeated them 19-9 by scoring nine runs in the sixth inning. "Everyone was encouraging and giving their all," said Dee Christensen '84. "We never gave up." The Lady Lynx refused to give up again when they confronted Harlan in the Lewis Central Tournament. The Cyclonettes slipped by them 7-6, but the Lynx came back the next night to overcome Glenwood 10-4. After a three-day rest, they entered into the Glenwood T ournament ready to defeat Lewis Central, and succeeded with a 10-7 score. "Most teams wouldn't be confident playing a team who had just beaten them, but these girls did it!" said Pettepier.

Pulling his sweats from the closet, he bundled up to face a 30-degree chill. His breath hung in icy puffs and his nostrils stuck together as he paced his two-mile morning jog. A dedicated track star? No, he was one of 67 students who, in a random poll of 100, claimed to be involved only in out-of-school sports. The remaining 33 participated in school sports and made up a small portion of the 246 athletes in our school of 1,026. Of these 246 athletes, 91 found reason enough to be involved in more than one interscholastic sport. Those polled cited personal satisfaction, enjoyment, and friends as the main motivating factors. " I joined the golf team because it's fun , challenging, and gives me a chance to be with my buddies," said Todd Townsend '82. "To compete in a team and win gives me a great sense of pride." Dennis Rief '82 Yet, 76 percent of the student body did not participate in interscholastic sports. Those polled claimed homework , jobs, family responsibilities, and girlfriends or boyfriends kept them from getting involved . , " Before my job, I played sports, " said Darrin Rooney '84, " but now there's no time for practices and games in my schedule." Coaches and involved students felt many of these reasons were just excuses that sidetracked potential athletes. 120 special feature "These kids have all their lives to work and be married," said Coach John Moore. "When they look back, they won't remember math or English class; they'll remember extra-curricular activities and realize t~ey cheated "Jogging alone gives me time to think and stay in good shape." - Jill Krabbe '83 themselves by not taking advantage of them." But these uninvolved students disagreed, stating that they didn't care for games and practices at set times. Instead, they chose to dedicate the majority of their precious time to other important interests and fit sports into their free moments. So how did these students stay fit? They played tennis, basketball, and baseball; they swam, jogged, and lifted weights. And they did all this in the out-of-school atmosphere they enjoyed so much. " I run, swim, and play tennis on my own time because there aren't any strict rules to follow and there isn't as much pressure, " said Marcia Stone '83. Twelve of the 67 not involved claimed pressure was one reason they avoided sports, and 25 of the 33 involved felt it was the biggest disadvantage of participation. Fierce competition with close friends for starting positions and consuming desires for victory were cited as unavoidable pressures for young athletes. "Since we lose so much, kids are always pressuring us with put-downs," said Steve Munyon '83. "I tell them if they can do better, why aren't they out there playing!" Coaches and administrators, too, were pressured as they searched for ways of motivating students to become involved. Both felt the major causes of decreasing involvement stemmed from an unsupporti.ve community and today's economy, which forced students to work for such luxuries as a car or a future education. "If we could get kids in the grade school and junior high level interested, and then get the community to back them, maybe our high school programs would have better turnouts," said Coach Clark Allen. Ironically, while the administration expressed concern over the low percentage of involvement, some students worried about preserving their sport. After volunteer sponsors left, bowlers and a lone soccer player refused to give up their favorite form of competition. To save his sport, Clint Waters '82, volunteered his abilities to T J's soccer team, and five bowlers kept their hopes for State competition alive by recruiting a parent to pose as their coach. "I play sports for fun, not for the pressure of competition." - Mark Worley '84 No matter what sport caught students' interest, many agreed with Jayne Nelson '84, who said, " You need the attitude that says, 'Try your best, but still have fun!'

Rolling out of the sack as early as 6:30 a.m., both ran daily before school to keep in shape; neither participated in track, however. out-of-school sports 121 I ndividuals fused into a glowing force. Whether we realized it or not, each of us added a spark of personality that made this force burn even brighter. We shared classes, jobs, trends, hobbies, and decisions that helped us discover more about ourselves and those around us. Some of us took college prep classes and worked part-time to help pay for the high costs of tuition. Others chose to get a head start on a career through the Cooperative Education Program or the armed services' delayed entry program. "My friends thought I was crazy when I joined the Marines,'.' said Lori T erveer '82. "They made me think twice, but I know I made the right decision." When-we weren't in school or working, we found different ways to enjoy our spare time. In-Service days were the perfect opportunity for many to catch up on soap operas.

On days we felt less energetic, we sat back and listened to our favorite albums, enjoyed the companionship of pets, or spent hours on the phone learning everything from the latest gossip to trig. assignment answers. Our teachers also added to the force which filled our halls. During the 180 school days we shared, we realized they weren't all business. Although they gave us tests that kept us up all night studying and assignments that filled our notebooks, teachers added a special touch to our days. They cracked jokes, shared parts of their personal lives, and spent time with us after the 3:05 bell rang. As we came to know them in a more informal way, they often became our friends. "A lot of teachers prove you can have fun in class and still learn," said Marcia Hopkins '82. "That's one reason AL's atmosphere is so good."

"Each of us took turns feeding the other, " said Lori Kinney '82. "It was hard not to laugh as a spoonful of jello fell into your friend's lap." Becoming a candystriper was not a simple matter. First there were applications, interviews, and orientation. Then came probation, tests, and finally the real challenge of helping people. After being accepted as candystripers, 23 girls spent at least three hours a week volunteering services to patients and hospi· ta! staff. "I enjoy being able to help people in the hospital because they come from all over and I always learn something new," said Debbie Childers '83. Candystriping required a lot of hard work and energy. Some even admitted it wasn't always as wonderful as they would have liked it to be. "Occasionally people don 't appreciate whay you're doing," said Melinda Ludwig '83, "especially the doc· tors and nurses who vent their frustrations on us as if we were people without feelings. One nurse was so harsh a girl ended up in tears, but because we realize nurses have many pressures, we try not to take it personally." Yet, all agreed that trying to share themselves with others was rewarding in the end. "As a supervisor, the most enjoyable thing to me is to see the other girls working with patients to help make their stay more pleasant," said Sue Schlemmer '82. Helping patients through lonely times in the hospital also brought candystripers into special relationships with patients. "Once a little boy drew me a picture before he went home," said Kristy Mallory '83. " Even though I was glad to see him feeling better, I almost wanted to cry when he left because I knew I wouldn't see him again." While times weren't always bright and cheery, the opportuni· ties the girls received to inake someone else's life a little more pleasant kept them coming back to learn and share week after week. candystripers 125 Rockin' to country c olorful posters on the wall behind the lone girl pleaded, "Come to our Country Hoe-Down March 26!

A whole two people are going to be there!" she said to herself. She was Connie Johnson '82, organizer of the Hoe-Down Dance sponsored by the Echoes staff. Despite the staff's fears that no one would come, more than enough students showed up for the dance. "I was so excited to see all of those people waiting in line to get into the cafeteria! I wasn't expecting it!" said Dawn Smith '82, who helped Johnson organize the Hoe-Down. Cowboy hats, leather boots and Levis scattered in all directions as 150 rambunctious dancers filled the hay-covered floor. "I think, at first, that people were turned off by the idea of the dance because everyone thought that Country Hoe-Down meant twangy music, but it was really more country-rock," said Pat Gilman '82. Girls danced together when the boys took a breather, and those who weren't dancing couldn't stop their toes from tapping. " It seemed like no one sat down the whole night! Everyone was dancing to the great music!" said Mary Clark '82. "I couldn't believe the band was so full of energy! " As the music rocked on, ornery cowboys undid the bales that lined the dance floor and bombarded the crowd with wads of itchy hay. "Mr. Gaffney let everyone go because he knew we were having a great time! " said Anne Clinton '82. The Echoes staff was proud of 'their earnings also. They collected $250 to help pay newspaper debts. The dance was praised by many as one of the most successful events of the year. " I've never seen so many people dancing and sincerely having fun! " said Rusty Metcalf '82.

At 4:30 a.m. the wooden door creaked open, bright lightbulbs switched on, and a shrill whistle alerted him that he had 30 minutes to get dressed, clean the barracks, and scramble into formation. "I dreaded getting up that early every morning," said Meckenstock, " but I knew if I didn't, the drill sergeant would have flipped my bed over." Mornings like these occurred daily for four seniors who enrolled in the Delayed Entry Program and survived nine weeks of basic training for the military. "Basic training isn't that hard," said Mike Cox '82. " It just takes getting used to exercising all day, every day." After basics, the recruits were required to attend military practice once a month at Metro Tech, where they learned jobs ranging from repairing trucks to giving medical aid. "I am presently in training to be a combat support military police officer," said Mike Martin '82. "I've wanted to be a policeman ever since I was little." Seven other recruits who had not yet gone through basics attended monthly meetings to learn the rules of soldiering. "I think that having meetings before going through basic training is a good idea," said Mark Hough '82. "By attending them, we learn what to prepare for." Eight of the eleven seniors chose the army. "The army has good benefits," said Meckenstock. "They also let you go home once in a while, and it's easy to get promotions." Marines were the second most popular branch. " I joined the Marines because they have the best training," said Dennis Rief '82. "If we ever had a war, I would have a better chance of living. " Others joined to assure themselves of a college education. " I joined the National Guard because they will pay three-fourths of my tuition," said Alan Stubblefield '82. "Otherwise I would have to struggle my way through." No matter what branch they chose, the 11 enlisted seniors agreed that the military was a great way to gain further training and education.

A poll of 86 students showed that video enthusiasts spent four to six hours per week in the arcade and blew an average of $5. 75 per trip. Some students claimed that after lots of practice, video games wer an inexpensive form of fun. "When I first started to play Donkey Kong, I could spend as much as $10 in a matter of a few hours," said Kevin Kimball '82, "but now, playing Donkey Kong has become a low cost form of entertainment." Many video addicts said the games were healthy outlets. "It's like a fantasy, another place where you can be something you're not," said Vince Tangeman '82. Still others said the magic of the games was their complex patterns. "I love video games! They're challenging! They are constantly coming out with new games so there is always a variety," said Jean Giles '82. The top three games according to a survey were Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Defender. " I love to play Pac-Man whenever I have any extra money," said Lisa Gallo '83. "It's my favorite game because I love to munch down on those little creatures. " For people tired of plugging quarters into the Pac-Man machine, Atari came out with a cassette of it that could be played on home video systems. The cartridge ran about $35 and would pay for itself in seven trips to the arcade . "I like having the Pac-Man cartridge because now I don't waste a hundred dollars playing it," said Amy Carson '83. "At least my parents know where I am when I play it." Whatever their favorite game, students enjoyed and thrived on the video challenge. 130 seniors Ferguson-Hawkins "HEY, I JUST BLEW UP ANOTHER SHIP!"

It crept from behind doorways and lingered in the halls as warm weather approached after four long months of bitter cold. To release their unrest, seniors planned escapes and left trademarks on the school. Springtime activities included a senior skip day. Despite warnings that grades would be given and no make-up allowed for missed classwork, seniors enjoyed a day of relaxation and fun. Some involved themselves in the festivities at Arrowhead Park while others enjoyed the zoo or just bumming out. Sixty-seven seniors later escaped to Kansas City's Worlds of Fun Grad Night, where they and other '82 grads from neighboring states enjoyed the thrill of being whipped around and upside down on the Orient Express. "The roller coasters made my stomach turn and took my breath away," said Margaret Stuhr '82. "My poor partner ended up having claw marks all over her! " Back at school, the seniors' restlessness sometimes urged them to seek forbidden ventures. To leave their mark, a few culprits decorated the school with toilet paper and cleverly outlined an '82 insignia on the parking lot hill. Water balloons also made a splash as senior pranks. As the lounge filled with students during passing minutes, balloons sailed through the air and hit innocent bystanders. "It was kind of embarrassing when everyone was looking at my wet seat, but I got 'em back," said Dan Feller '82. On the final Friday for seniors, antics boomed. Firecrackers and M-80's exploded in the halls and stairways, but the culprits were nowhere to be found. "On that day it was afmost like a battlefield; you didn't know where they were going to go off," said Clark Allen, industrial arts instructor. Yet, there was a serious side to senior pranks: danger. "Our building has a lot of glass and with so many people, someone could easily get hurt," said Paul Krogh; assistant principal, who took a hard line against offenders and stationed teachers all over the halls to prevent pranks. "Everywhere you looked, there was a teacher," said Donna Schoeppner '82. "It made the school seem like a jail, even though it was for precaution. " But as graduation came closer and closer, rowdy behavior gave way to a true enjoyment of freedom at last.

After giving up hope of putting it out by himself, he raced up the steep incline of Charles Street to the home of Jay Christians '82, where Hansen frantically dialed the fire department for help. The fire that ruined his car ·was caused by a gas leak. "I couldn't believe all the damage that had been done in such a short time. It was just like burning $1,200 since I didn't have any insurance," he said. Hansen's experience was just one example of the money seniors spent and sometimes lost on their cars. For some students, such as Kris Minard '82, car payments ran as much as $140 a month. Even though she had a job, Minard said she didn't think she could make it without the help of her parents. Car insurance, according to Dan Swartz of State Farm Insurance, cost the average student from $175 to $200 every six months. "It's a hassle spending so much money on insurance. I wish the rates weren't so high, but there's not much you can do about it. You have to have insurance; without it, you'd be in a lot of trouble," said Kelly Wilson '82. In addition, some seniors sp~nt from $10 to $30 a week on gas and oil. "Half of my check goes to my car each week," said Troy Vallier '82. Many students who wanted to add a personal touch to their cars spent their money on accessories such as mags, personalized license plates, musical horns, carpeting, and car stereos. "Buying my stereo and musical horn was just one way for me to make my car different from everybody else's," said Carol Foote '82. "The enjoyment I get is worth every penny.

About 19 percent of AL graduates went on to l.W.C.C .. where the cost was approximately $230 pe r qua rter. I , College dilemma C ould you afford to put out $6,710 a year for tuition, and be ready to pay for room and board as well? Many seniors were faced with such astronomical prices as they pursued college educations. According to a study appearing in the Des Moines Register. the average cost of attending a private Iowa college from 1978 to 1982 was approximately $24,5 77, with a cost increase of over 40 percent during that four-year period. To finance a college education, students sought scholarships, parental aid, grants, and loans, and tried to bolster their personal savings by working. A special problem faced by '82 grads was the Reagan cutback of grants and loans. Hardest hit were middle income students, who felt the government didn't take into account their families' total income picture. "My dad makes too much money to get a grant, but we live on a farm and it takes most of the money to buy feed and livestock," said Shelley Morriss '82. The sudden decline in available money for college forced several students to settle for less expensive colleges. " I thought about going to Drake or Georgetown, but the tuition was around $7,500, so I decided on a state school," said Scott Rash '82. "I could probably afford a private school but the education wouldn 't be that much better." Some students were able to arrive at a compromise between their desires and finances. "Instead of going to Creighton all four years, I will probably go to UNO for a couple years, then finish up at Creighton," said Carl Henningsen '82. Yet, other students refused to settle for less than their first prnference. "I ha .ve just one shot at college, so I might as well go with my first choice," said Jim Andersen '82, who was headed for Iowa State University. For those who wouldn't compromise, hours of filling out scholarship applications sometimes proved worthwhile. Some big winners were Sandy Jensen, who received an annually renewable scholarship of $3500 from the Peter Kiewit Founda - tion; Matt Stubblefi eld, who received $3000 from UCLA; and Brenda Sutherland, who received over half a dozen scholarships, including $1000 from a National Merit Foundation funded by Xerox Corporation. • Krist ina Minard John Mit chell Reid M o n t gomery Sh elley Morriss Kurt M o rtensen Mit ch Muffley Stuart N e al id N elson D ave Nor man Doug Norman Regan Nuzum Th e r e se O c ken J ulie Page Brenda Peak college costs 137 AFTER A QUICK LOOK AROUND, Steve Boyden stuffs his mouth full of SKOAL chewing tobacco. KEEPING COOL on a warm spr!ng day, Carolyn An· derson and Lisa Worley wear their new sailor tops. Crazy n' catching S ymptoms: strange metallic strips across the forehead; tiny aligned alligators, hearts, or stars crisscrossing the feet; flaky brown wads stuck between cheek and gum; baggy grey sweats tied loosely around the waist. What would any doctor say about such odd symptoms? He would diagnose them as fad fever and send the patient to AL High to let the fever run its course. Fads filled the halls and classrooms. Two of the most popular were brightly colored or sparkly headbands worn across the forehead Indian fashion, and shoelaces printed with colorful rainbows, green turtles, Smurf characters, or almost anything imaginable. "I bought little hearts because I thought they added class to my shoes," said Ember Howell '83. As spring came, fads seem to steer in two contradictory directions. While many girls pref erred a red, white, or blue sailor blouse of lightweight fabric, others chose the sloppy, casual look of sweats. "Sweats are so much more comfortable than jeans or dress pants because they're looser fitting and cooler," said Kaylene Hatcher '82. A fad which gained much less approval was chewing tobacco. But despite an administration ban on it and constant refrain from girls that it was the grossest thing they ever saw, several guys chewed and spit all day. "I started during wrestling season when I would spit to lose weight; then I just never quit," said Rusty Metcalf '82. According to some students, participation in any kind of fad often resulted from wanting to be part of an "in" group. "It seems the first ones to do something different are always laughed at unless they're super popular. Those people are the ones who can really start a fad," said Doug Norman '82. Although not everyone could start a fad, the majority of teens caught one or ·more of these incurable diseases. 138 seniors Perrin-Rief WEARING A HOT NEW FAD, Brenda Peak adjusts her red and gold headband to make it look just right.

A psycho's mindless chatter? No. Just the good clean fun · offered daily by afternoon soaps. Last summer these three plots appeared on General Hospital, All My Children, and One Life to Liue. Disproving the old adage that soaps were for inactive housewives, 87 out of 100 students polled claimed they enjoyed the soaps' fast paced action and modern day problems. Snatching 51 percent of the vote, General Hospital was students' favorite. "I like G.H. because it always leaves me in suspense," said Kim Arterburn '82. Although soaps appeared largely during school hours, faithful fans found ways to keep up on their favorites. Many got the scoop from friends or family who watched their show and reported the details. "My grandma has watched Days of Our Liues ever since it started, so she knows what's going on. When something juicy is going on, I call her to find out," said Sheryl Kraft '82. For those interested in more than the plot, a wide variety of magazines offered large pin-up posters of their favorite soap opera star. "l can't think of a cuter wallpaper," said Shari Liggett '82. Even beautiful girls dressed in scanty outfits couldn't attract most males to soaps. Although a few admitted they occasionally enjoyed a soap, most would not have their name associated with them in print. Reid Montgomery '82, felt differently, however. "It's something I do, so why not admit it?" he said. "I started watching them at my grandparents' and have watched ever since. I laugh at myself for getting caught up in something so stupid, but I have to know what's going on." 140 seniors Rocha-Surber COMPLETELY ENGROSSED.

Dogs were the most common pet, named twice as many times as other creatures. For some students, pets were a hobby. Erik Moore '82, treated his 52 birds, ranging from Canadian geese to peacocks, with care. "One time a turkey fell in the pond and caught pneumonia so we brought him in the house, gave him medicine, and he perked right up!" he said. Others thought of their pets as people. "I feel like my cat is the youngest member of our family," said Bryan Uhlhorn '82. "I worry about her just like I worry about a person." Some even reported that their pets took part in Christmas holidays. "We got our c;logs little gifts such as toy bones and balls!" said Kim Arterburn '82. Other pets shared things with their owners. "My dog listens to my stereo just as I do," said Mike Johnson '82. "He really likes 292! " A special kind of friendship shared between pets and students often came in handy. "When I'm feeling low, I go outside and my dog comes and puts his head on my lap and I forget about everything," said senior Shelley Morriss. Frank Hurley '82, also thought his dog was a loyal friend. "He's the kind of guy who doesn't think anything I do is stupid," he said. Many students felt they couldn't do without their pets. "Sometimes just being able to love something and know love will be returned is enough to make the day worthwhile," said Brenda Sutherland '82. Some seniors dreaded the day they'd have to leave their companions at home. "I love Gretchen a lot," said Paula Hartfield '82, about her German Shepherd. "I wish 1 could take her with me to college."

"My class ring is special to me because after I graduate, it will bring back my high school memories," said Judy Hytrek '83. Rings were so important that students were willing to pay from $83 for a siladium ring, to $250 for a gold band set with diamonds. Students also had to decide where to buy their rings. One of the popular jewelers, Jostens, displayed products at school. Midlands Mall jewelers also claimed a large share of the market Brodkeys estimated they sold 200 to 250 rings a year, and Zales sold about 100_ "E veryone bought their rings from Jostens, and I wanted one that was different, so I went to Zales," said Tina Jensen '83. Each jeweler featured many styles and selections, so choosing sometimes became difficult. While many girls preferred a feminine band with little room left for symbols, others preferred a classic look sporting many symbols. Jewelers cited the most popular symbols as a lynx and a football player. Students could also select options such as their initials, school colors, and year. " I wanted all the symbols I could get because I wanted to remember all the high school activities I've been involved in," said Dennis Wallace '83. Once their ring arrived, students learned of various customs. "It really surprised me to know that you wear your ring so you can read it while you're in school and wear it so others can read it once you're out of school," said Jody Miner '83. Most students felt that the memories their class rings would bring after graduation would be worth the high cost HER DA YD REAMS INTERRUPTED, Sharon Smith looks up at a fellow yearbook staffer while twisting her steady's oversized ring.

What does he look like?" "Well ... he's really nice." "Yeah, but is he good looking?" "Uh .. . he's got a great sense of humor." "Forget it, Amy, you set me up before and that guy turned out to be a jerk!" Thirty-four out of 50 students surveyed said friends had paired them with a guy or girl. Thinking they knew the perfect match for a good friend, matchmakers sometimes arranged successful dates. "My cousin called and said she knew a guy who was perfect for me. She set up a date for us, and she must have been right because we've been going out for over a year now," said Melinda Ludwig '83. But others avoided matches that friends arranged. "I hate being set up," said Lori Nichols '83. "Even your best friend has different taste in guys. Once I was set up with this guy.who was supposed to be muscular - well he ended up being flabby and fat!" "I like to pick my dates," added Joe Diblasi '83. "That way I'm sure of what she looks like and I knew I'm interested in her." A few brave couples were united through blind dates. "I knew this girl who I had never seen before but talked to on the phone," said Jeff Ballenger '83. "We never did carry on a very interesting conversation, but when I finally went out with her, I was elated! She was beautiful! We got along great and kept going out." Yet for others, blind dates turned out to be disasters. ''I'll never go on a blind date again," said Cheri Davis '83. "The guy was short and looked as old as my dad. I made sure we went places where no one would see us." The most effective and favorite method of matchmaking seemed to be dropping hints to the dream girl or guy's best friend, who in turn passed the word along. "I was at Godfather's with Ruth Tijerina. She knew I liked Jay Nicholls, so she convinced him to go to the movie with us. We got along great and the next day he asked me to go with him. That was two years ago and we've been going together ever since then," said Tanya Davis '83. No matter how the matches were made, students agreed that as long as two sexes existed, the quest for the perfect match would continue.

" It was really hard to watch my friends eat ice-cream and candy while I was stuck with celery," said Denise Winchester '83. "That's when I really wanted to give up!" . Winchester was in the minority who stuck to a sensible diet. Through exercising regularly, cutting down on sweets, and eating plenty of healthful foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, she reached her goal of losing ten pounds in three months. Many students, however, were so eager to cut extra pounds that they went to any lengths. Their sometimes eccentric diets ranged from drinking only liquids to eating 30 eggs a week. "My family went on a diet where we ate nine eggs and three grapefruit the first day, " said Jeanne Miller '83. " I got so sick of eggs that my stomach churned everytime I looked at one ." Reasons for dieting varied. Shopping for a new wardrobe provided inspiration for some. " When I went shopping and clothes I liked didn't fit, it was depressing," said Beth Tanous '83. Anticipating summer fun provided girls with still another good reason for shedding a few ugly pounds. "I want to lose weight so I will look good when I go swimming, " said Nancy Carper '83. " If I don't, I'm not leaving the house all summer!" The desire to stay fit supplied incentive for others. " I wanted to lose weight because I know being overweight is a health hazard and I wanted to get in shape for track, " said Mary Myers '83.

As the Rubik's Cube craze struck, students frequently attempted the geometric puzzle only to face defeat. "I tried six times and gave up because it was driving me nuts," said Diane Knight '83. " I was about to pull my hair out!" After numerous failures to solve it, some students resorted to taking the cube apart, pulling the stickers off, or just leaving the little irritation for someone else to unscramble. " I took it apart," said Chuck Fe· trow '83. "You don't have to be a genius, just a good handy man." Some refused to even attempt the puzzling cube. "It's so hard to figure out," said Phil Ross '83. "I like nothing about the game; it's too frustrating." But other students felt the cube was a challenge worth conquering. "After about 13 hours of studying the cube over," said Paul McConnell '83, "I finally learned how to do it on my own." " It's so frustrating that it's fun!" said Heidi Finerty '83. "I feel like I really accomplish something." After learning to solve the cube, students began timing themselves. " I've got it down to two minutes," said Hans Larsen '84, "after studying the cube's patterns for a year." While some conquered the puzzle with their own logic, others used the handy solution book. "I tried for three days to solve it and gave up," said Tim McCullough '83. "I had to use the book to save me from an ulcer!" For others, solving the cube was a matter of pride. " Most people try to solve the cube to have a feeling of superiority and to show their friends they can do it, " said Suzy Evezic '83. Even after the Rubik's craze began to die out in late winter, students still dug the multicolored mind twister from beneath stacks of books and papers in their lockers to toy with in moments of boredom.

Someone's on the other line." "Sure, but don't just leave me hanging here, okay?" Such conversations often occurred in homes with teen-age occupants. Thanks to modern technology, it became possible for teens to talk to friends for hours yet take incoming calls. A poll of 50 juniors showed that 29 had the call waiting feature on their phones. Girls who spent an hour or more on the phone each day said the new feature was one of the best ways to ease tensions with parents. " My mom threatens never to let me use the phone again if I don't get off when she tells me to," said Monica Nunez '83. "But now that we have call waiting I can talk as long as I want, and Mom knows if a call comes for her, I'll get off the phone." Call waiting definitely proved to be the cheapest way to preserve peace in the family. At $7 for installation, most parents found it much more affordable than a teen-line, which cost $53 to install. " My parents thought a teen-line was too expensive, so they suggested call-waiting; it made things a lot easier," said Lori Points '83. Teens also felt that call-waiting was an asset to social life . Many were relieved to know that during conversations with friends, that special date could still get through. " I don't have to make phony excuses to hang up. Now that I have a beeper, he can just beep in," said Penny Larsen '83. Though this f ea tu re had its advantages, teens and parents alike became irritated when put on hold or interrupted during important conversations. " I was talking to Paula Nickels one night and someone beeped in," said Julia Wright '83. " After ten minutes when she still hadn't returned, I finally hung up. I guess she spaced me off." Kathy Kimball '83 also became irritated with call-waiting. "When I'm talking to my sister long distance, those beeps drive me crazy. If friends know I'm home, they just keep ringing." Despite the small problems with call-waiting, most felt its advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Although 232 sophomores, 237 juniors, and 238 seniors were issued bus cards, a survey showed that only 58 percent of those issued cards actually rode the bus. Many girls complained that the buses were zoos. "I hate riding the bus! Everyone on it acts like an animal!" they cried. Almost every girl could recall times when she had to dodge flying paper wads, gum, and rubberbands. Alyce Spoto '84, remembered the time some girls on her bus were surprised with icy cold snowballs down their backs. "I couldn't believe it, but the boys were actually throwing snowballs!" she said. But the boys said they were just having a harmless good time. "Riding the bus is so boring that we have to do something for fun!" said Tony Price '84. Another reason students didn't like to ride the bus was lack of room. "Now that Sunnydale is closed, we have to pick up Hoover and Kirn kids. It gets really crowded," said Tammy Steenbock '84. Students also complained about the prompt departure of the buses. "The bus leaves at exactly 3: 10, and if you 're not on it, you might as well start walking because it won't wait for you," said Carlene Thompson '84. But despite complaints about the bus system, many students appreciated the free service. "I think the general bus system is good. If it wasn't for buses, a lot of kids couldn't get to school," said Steve Thomas '84. Those most dependent on the buses were sophomores, and most of them looked forward to the day they could stroll out to the parking lot to a waiting car. ONE GIANT STEP towards a new day.

Metal mouths and i!lassy i!lances W hat we went through to be beautiful! We bought mascara and Clearasil. We put tiny pieces of glass into our eyes so we wouldn't have those bothersome specs sliding down our noses. We had metal, wires, plastic, and rubber stuffed in our mouths to perfect our teeth. And so it went - we suffered to satisfy. " ! wear contacts because I got tired of falling down, and I hated my glasses," said Denise Shenefelt '84. Of 60 students surveyed at random, the eight who wore contacts agreed that getting rid of their glasses was worth almost any price. Most students admitted, however, that their parents footed the bills, which averaged $126 for hard lenses and $176 for soft lenses; an additional $10 to $20 per month for maintenance; and $20 for insurance. "It cost my parents $20 to replace a lost contact," said Hans Larsen '84. "I was on a bus to Purdue when I lost it. I had everyone on the bus crawling on their hands and knees trying to find it!" But our problems didn't stop with our eyes. Some of us had to cope with the pain of braces to straighten our crooked teeth. Of 60 students polled, the 12 with braces agreed that $1 ,600 and an average of 18 months for treatment was a high price to pay. During those 18 months, we visited our orthodontist once a month; avoided hard or sticky substances like caramel apples, gum, ice cubes, and popcorn; faithfully brushed after every meal; and hated it the whole time. " ! don't like my braces. They're ugly and they hurt when they're tightened," said Jill Winey '84. Finally, after all the pain and agony, the metal was removed from our mouth. " I couldn't believe they were off! " said Jacque Hyde '84. "My teeth felt so funny. It was like I had air pockets in my mouth without all the wires and junk in there!" Ah - to be beautiful at last!

Warmth from the heater takes the chill off the student lounge as boys gather for small talk. "WHEW! I JUST MADE IT." Lin· da Jones slides into her seat in English just before the bell stops ringing. 158 sophs Jensen-Moreno Five fast minutes and countin• down 6-6-E xcuse me! Hey, quit pushing! Come on, you guys, move it! I know I'm going to be late," muttered the sophomore as he pushed his way through the juniors and seniors perched on the second floor railing. With girls clumped together exchanging the latest gossip and guys gathered in the student lounge, new sophomores sometimes found it hard to get to class on time. "There's no way I can make it unless I hurry!" said Theresa Wilson '84. "I constantly bump into juniors and seniors who stand by the ramps and talk." Unaccustomed to the building and schedule, sophomores feared five minutes wasn't adequate to get to class. "At the beginning of the year, I was so afraid I would be tardy that I always went straight to class," said Denise Shenefelt '84. To beat the tardy bell, some sophomores even avoided going to their lockers between classes. "I really have to run if I go to my locker, since it is in the industrial arts wing," said Randy Magnussen '84. Every teacher, however, had his own rules for tardies, and it didn't take students long to know who enforced tardies and who was more lenient. "I have Mrs. Gepner for American Studies," said Peggy Button '84. "If you're not in your seat by the time the bell starts to ring, you're counted tardy." But some teachers weren't quite as strict. "I can walk into Mr. Pettepier's class after the bell and he doesn't count me tardy," said Kip Johnson '84, "as long as I'm only a few seconds late ." Fear of in-house, which resulted from six tardies, kept many sophomores running to class. "I try not to be tardy," said Andrea Sasso '84. "I'm afraid of what in-house detention would be like." As the year wound down, sophomores discovered what classes they could be late for, slowed their pace, and started gathering in their own areas between classes. "LET'S SEE, DO · I HAVE EVERYTHING?"

Their sister toys with the dials on her dad's $1000 stereo, while the baby of the family sits in the corner, drawing on the wall with his crayons. Oblivious to the destruction around her, the babysitter sits with her eyes glued to the television set. Suddenly a loud crash brings her back to reality. "I'm going to kill you kids!" she yells. "I told you not to ride your Big Wheels in the living room!" Circumstances like these occurred regularly in the life of a teenage babysitter. A survey of 55 sophomore girls showed that each babysat at least once a month, and most two or three times a week. Since sophomores couldn't get jobs until they turned 16, most said they appreciated the $1 or $2 per hour they received for babysitting. Even with low wages and hours that disrupted social lives, sophomores found babysitting a good way to spend a few nights each week. "I think babysitting is a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun, " said Tammy Wilson '84. Almost every babysitter could recall a humorous incident. "My little cousin was in the bathroom using his small toilet and I went into the other room to get him some other training pants," said Antoinette McCurry '84. "I came back and everything was covered with powder, even him!" All the girls said their main reason for babysitting was that they liked being with children. "I babysit because I like kids," said Connie Van Bibber '84. "They give me the chance to show the child in me, but I feel good knowing they still look up to me."

I feel like the girl from Alcatraz!" The guard says nothing. Like this secluded captive, many teenagers felt being grounded was as bad as being in jail. "It seems like I'm always grounded. When my time is up, I just get grounded again. I really feel like a prisoner!" said Lynette Rutledge '84. Although grounding was popular, parents managed to find various ways to execute punishment. Some forbade the use of the car. "I remember once, I really wanted to go out, so I -just had someone else drive," said Denise Shenefelt '84. DRUDGERY IS THE WOKD for the old cleaning-the-room punishment. Kim Johnson hates the hideous task. "I HOPE I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE FOR THIS!" The expression on Jodie Core's face tells it all after receiving her report card at the end of first semester. But everyone agreed that not being able to use the phone was the toughest rule by which to abide. "Sometimes my parents punish me by not letting me use the phone for more than half an hour. I've tried reminding them that they sometimes talk for hours, but they won't give in," said Kip Johnson '84. Some parents imposed the ultimate torture on their prisoners - hard labor. "I learn my lesson because I always end up doing chores around the house that remind me I'm still in trouble," said Peggy Button '84. LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE, Paul Goodenow diligently works in the library to keep his grades up. Others felt that being grounded had little to do with making them repent. "I learn my lesson because I feel badly, not because of punishment," said Tom Thorn '84. Many students admitted that punishment was usually justified for violating curfew or receiving poor grades. "I rarely get punished, but when I do, I feel I deserve what I get," said Jill Winey '84. Although teens often knew they had it coming, the dreaded words "you 're grounded," gave them a sick knowledge that upcoming days would be filled with hours of monotony and solitude. - / Melodie Underwood Theresa Underwood Connie Van Bibber Julie Wagman Molly Walden Shelly Welch James Wheeldon Jamie White Krista White Amy Whitlatch Brian Wilson Tammy Wilson Jill Winey Mary Wohlers Amy Wood Mark Worley Mike Wright Greg Wyant Tom Wyatt Don Yochem Stephen Young grounded 163 "LET'S GO OVER IT ONE MORE TIME."

When Gaffney arrived from Kirn to replace Robert Capel, who was transferred to Edison, the new principal brought several goals with him. "My immediate goal is to make students more accountable and to more directly supervise them in the building," he told the Echoes. Messerli's major goal was to keep the activities fund solvent. Organizing fundraisers and requiring organizations to stick to a budget helped, he said. "We learned responsibility by promising to hold a fundraiser when we took money out," said Jane Searcy '82, cheerleader. Although the principals realized faculty and student morale was low, they attributed much of it to the seven-period day and curriculum changes instituted by the Board. Some teachers agreed. "Everyone was unhappy because they thought Central Office wasn't listening to their opinions," said Wilda Briggs, special education instructor. "Our administration came into a bad situation; it had to be difficult." But the new principals remained optimistic. "We're all striving for the same goal, and with effort and understanding, AL will be at the top of education," Messerli. said.

Simmering in a Pressure cooker ''O ear Students, In general you are great. Due to differences between me and the administration, this is my last day as a teacher. " This note, written on the board by Thurman Johnson, business teacher, sent shockwaves through a faculty already worried about the coming of a seven-period day and the new Riffing program. Johnson cited his concern about teacher input into curriculum changes, and the inappropriateness of school fundraisers as reasons for his sudden resignation. "With my leaving, I felt that a great weight had been lifted from my shoulders," Johnson said. Other teachers felt a different kind of pressure as the board implemented its Reduction in Force policy to terminate teachers as enrollment declined. District wide, 39 teachers lost their jobs. At AL, only social studies instructor John Moore was terminated. Five others with more seniority were told they would be transferred to buildings where they would take the place of Riffed teachers. ''I'm unhappy about leaving AL," said Larry Flannery, driver education teacher. " I really enjoy coaching and the people I work with." For those who would remain at AL, worry about the seven period day was prevalent. "Many of us use our free periods to prepare for classes, and we still have to take work home," said Mary Gepner, so· cial studies instructor. "I dread having one less free period to work next year." Even more scary, seven periods resulted in a severe enrollment de· dine for 1982-'83 electives. "It makes me unhappy to see how the new schedule has affected elec· tives," said Patti Ford, who lost two classes of Basic Clothing. But despite the pressures, most teachers agreed with Robert Pette· pier, math instructor, who said, " I feel that although every year has its problems, I care about my students and the satisfaction I receive from helping them makes everything worth it." ... ~-- FAITHFUL SUPPORTER Thurman Johnson attends a Lynn basketball game after his retirement.

Yet, something compelled 63 percent of faculty members to say that if they had it to do all over again , they would still choose teaching as their career. Twenty three out of 31 teachers said it was the kids that made their job special. "Teaching has often been frustrating, too political, and unnecessarily stressful, but watching a student grow to his full potential and knowing that you had a hand in it makes it all worthwhile," said Jim Misner, instrumental instructor. " In the final analysis, next to parents, who has more influence on kids?"

" I left a position that paid me twice as much money because I felt I wanted more from this existence, " said Bob Burns, business instructor. "I wondered whether I could be successful as a coach and a teacher. " Teachers said that another advantage of their profession was the freedom they had. " It's a neat feeling to know there is no one peering over your shoulder, and that you can usually make your own decisions in your classroom," said Linda Smoley, journalism adviser. Even though teachers sometimes felt overworked and underpaid, they could never complain of a boring routine .

In shock, we watched TV broadcasts that flashed , "Argentina, Britain count dead after a naval battle in the South Atlantic!" The Falkland Island Crisis brought the heat of war to our front rooms and we shivered in terror, wondering just how involved America and USSR would become. Such fears increased the burning controversy over the ever growing nuclear arms race that could make instant world destruction an actuality. "Nuclear growth scares me to death, " said Theresa Pogge '83. "Someone has to make the first move towards disarmament, .so why not us?

IOWA community 171 News Elevator explosion claims five lives WITH FLAMES SOARING, an explosion leaves the Council Bluffs Grain Elevator tumbling to ruins Photo by Ed Rath of World Herald. S haking practically everything within 20 miles, the worst grain elevator fire in the history of the state sent flames soaring 200 feet. Triggered by sparks which ignited grain dust during a loading operation, ·the . blast occurred on April 20 at 2: 15 p.m. at the Bluffs Elevator Company. Metal and wood bombarded cars, trucks, and buildings, and burning debris ignited grass fires all over the area_ " We were driving by on our way to a track meet after it blew," said Marcia Whitney '83. " I couldn't believe all the fire and smoke!" Twenty-four victims were rushed to nearby hospitals, where nearly a third were treated and released and most others were reported in good condition. But when the news came out that five victims remained unaccounted for, grief-stricken families, friends, co-workers, and Council Bluffs residents awaited word from search crews and local media as the gruesome task of sifting through the smoldering rubble began. After almost a week of hunting, five charred bodies were removed from the ruins, which continued to smoke even after three weeks of steady rainfall. Council Bluffs residents were shocked to learn there was no record of the elevator's inspection by a state agency since 1972. About two million bushels of grain went up in flames, causing $2,000,000 in damages. 172 community Iowa jobless rate soars T opping the World War II record, Iowa's unemployment rate ranked fourteenth in the nation by April, when it reached 11.3 percent. Three-fourths of the job losses came in manufacturing, especially automobiles. "Since so many people are unemployed, nobody has money to buy cars," said Larry Spencer, Tim O'Neill general manager. The housing industry also lagged locally. " When people buy a house," said Larry Tweedt, local contractor, "they borrow money, and interest rates are too high." The most dramatic cause of local unemployment, however, occurred when 68 Safeway Stores closed March 13. Due to remodeling costs and the ever increasing cost of labor, the shut-down affected jobs of about 2,000 people in the metropolitan area. " It was a shock when my dad told us that he'd lost his job," said Lori Connor '83. "If he can't find another one soon, we'll have to learn to budget our money better." Although many blamed President Reagan for the rise of unemployemnt and high interest rates, Time Magazine stated that for the first time in 1 7 years, inflation had dropped to -3.3 percent. " I think Reagan did a great job at decreasing inflation, but there's still unemployment, " said Danny McGee '84. "If the recession would stop, everything would be okay."

Ray drops out of race 0 n both sides of the political fence, Iowans eagerly awaited word from Governor Robert Ray. Then, on Feb. 18, the news broke. Wanting " new challenges and new adventures," Ray announced that he had decided not to seek a sixth term. "I am at a time in my life when I might like to try new things, " Ray, 53, said. " When I leave this office, I will not be leaving politics, nor will I necessarily be leaving government for good. " Ray's decision not to run for a sixth term made it possible for Lt. Gov. Terry Branstad to run. The ma in Republican contender, Branstad reportedly had wanted to run before, but didn't wa nt to oppose Ray. Many people had mixed feelings about Ray's decision. " I think Ray did a good job because he didn't bring anything radical into the system," said Mark Ryerson '83, " but he made a wise choice not to run again because it's time somebody else has the chance to bring new ideas into Iowa government." : Around the Region Manawa finally gets clean-up A fter Council Bluffs citizens had lobbied 50 years for funds, the longa waited dredging of Lake Manawa finally began in May. Six feet of mud and vegetation had plagued Manawa skiers, swimmers and sailors since the lake was opened as a resort in 1889. In November of 1979, the Environmental Protection Agency announced the approval of a $2,061 ,000 grant. Because the proposed project was estimated at $4,000,000, all that stood in the way was matching funds from the state legislature. But a tight state budget and bad economy resulted in defeat of the proposal. Then, on April 7, the Iowa Conservation Commission accepted a low bid of 2.5 million by Robers Dredge Inc. of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The low bid enabled the project's completion without funding by the state. "We were delighted," said Mayor Dave Christensen. " It's the best news we 've had from Des Moines for years." Chamber of Commerce director Mike Dugan said that although the chamber task force had spent close to AT LAST, the six feet of seaweed and garbage is to be dredged from the muddy depths of Lake Manawa by a Wisconsin dredging company. $30,000 in the past seven years on lobbying trips to Des Moines and Washington, members felt the money had been well spent since the deepening of the lake would increase usage 50 percent. CB citizens celebrate pride D uring a lull in the booms of thunder, echoes of marching bands and reeling chants of gradeschoolers filled the air on Saturday, May 15, to proclaim pride in Council Bluffs and its schools. One-hundred and forty-seven entries, including 1 7 marching groups, seven bands, and 42 floats streamlined their way down Ninth and Main streets toward Bayliss Park. At the park, various showcases refreshed and entertained spectators of the fourth annual Pride Week Parade. At one showcase, Mayor Dave Christensen and city council member Bill Ballenger posed as sitting ducks, taking dip after dip into the icy depths of a dunking booth to raise money for the library. Several schools presented showcases featuring dancers and singers, despite a cloudburst which delayed activities for almost an hour. Parade coordinators Paulette Kill and Kathy Lindburg and head librarian Mildred Smock developed the theme " A Century Speaks Volumes" to recognize our library's hundredth anniversary as well as continue annual Pride Week Festivities.

As Egyptians grieved over the assassination of Anwar Sadat, Americans also felt fear and sadness over the loss of our major ally in the Mideast. El Salvadorian rebels favoring land reforms also disturbed our peace of mind as they fought the right-wing government for power and prompted debate at home over whether America should become involved to halt communism. Anxieties also continued to grow as Argentina and Britain could not settle the Falkland Islands dispute after 15 years of negotiations. Tensions reached a peak on April 2, when Argentina took Britain by surprise and sent 4,000 troops to claim the islands. Even after Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher froze Argentine assets and launched a multi-ship task force , the Argentines didn't back down, and what began as an argument at the negotiating table turned into a full-fledged war. By the end of May, 98 British and 394 Argentines had lost their lives. Amid such world conflict, more Americans became concerned with the nuclear arms race. Thousands took part in "Ground Zero Week" to voice their opposition to nuclear proliferation. "I don't feel that "Ground Zero" will help stop the arms race," said Dennis Wallace '83. " We need to eliminate nuclear weapons, not freeze them." BRITISH FLAGS WAVE as an aircraft carrier leaves from the Falklands. Photo from Wide World Photos. Foul weather hits U.S. M any will remember 1981-82 for the bizarre weather Mother Nature sent us. Frigid blasts of Arctic air swept from coast to coast, claiming more than 300 lives and destroying property, including 84 percent of Florida's citrus crop. Coast to coast, the winter of '82 was declared the coldest of the century. Alabama shivered in sub-zero temperatures for only the fifth time since 1885; New York reported 25 inches of snow in 24 hours; and 40-foot snow drifts plagued Montana. While some states battled the snow, others tolerated torrential rains. California and Indiana, which both received up to 15 inches of rain in a 17 4 community week, fell victim to mudslides and floods. Rain also saturated the country in late spring. By the end of May, the National Weather Service in Omaha had recorded over 15 inches of rainfall, seven inches more than the yearly average . The rains caused flooding, washed out bridges, and delayed planting of over 50 percent of Midland's crops. "This weather is getting old," said Kim Bargenquast '82.

What began as an evening of fun ended in horror at Kansas City's Hyatt Regency Hotel on July 17, 1981. Shortly after a crowd of 1500 had gathered for a tea dance, the Big Band Music was halted by a thunderous crash and screams. The steel and concrete catwalk on the fourth floor had torn away from its support, crashed onto the second floor, and into the lobby. Amid the rubble, workers found 113 dead and 186 others injured. "Disasters like this make you realize how fragile life is," said Dan Bowlds '82.

Britain shares day of ro01ance R omance and fantasy filled the air on July 29, 1981, as the world shared one of Britain's most celebrated moments - the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to Prince Charles. As over a million merrymakers lined the procession route from St. Paul's Cathedral to Buckingham Palace, another 750 million watched on television. "My mother and I got up at 3 a.m. to watch, " said Kim King '83. "It was like something from a storybook." Everything about the day was picture-perfect, including Lady Diana. The 19-year-old bride traveled in a glass carriage and stepped out to reveal a silk wedding gown and a flowing 25-foot train.

In a poll of 50 students, 42 cited the 4.5 million dollar roadway as the biggest improvement in Council Bluffs in 1981 . The demolition of dilapidated buildings along North Eighth Street and Broadway, which would clear the way for the west end of the bypass and the wreckage of the 106 year old Ogden Hotel also improved Council Bluffs' image, students said.

Draw out every cent, of course. Well, you have just such a bank and its name is TIME. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as loss whatever of these you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balances. It allows no overdrafts. Each night it closes the record of the passing day. Every day it opens a new account with you. If you fail to use the day's deposit, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the morrow. You must live in the present - on today's deposit. Students of Abraham Lincoln High School - we encourage you to invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success. ii Fl RST NATIONAL BANK OF COUNCIL BLUFFS •@3i1D*•liil Broadway at Main • 29th and West Broadway • Midlands Mall Southwest Expressway, just sou th of the 1·80 Manawa exit Choose a "people profession" where you can work with your head and your hands - and still be you!

After a locally publicized poor teacher evaluation last spring, he returned to school determined to fight for his job by making his band the best ever. "After he told us he was fighting for us, we wanted to prove to him that we were worth the fight," said Valarie Witham '83. On Oct. 9, at the State Marching Band Contest, Misner led his Lynx to a one-plus rating, which placed them first in the city and fourth in the state. Journalists also overwhelmed us when they distributed their first newspaper. After a week of workshops in Iowa City, staffers spent hours transforming their 8 by 11 inch paper into an 11 by 17 inch tabloid. " I was really surprised! It looked so professional that I took it home to my parents," said Paul Rounds '83. Vocal music students surprised us too! Twenty of them practiced two hours daily for six weeks to perfect their voices for All-State Chorus auditions. "I remember Todd Christians getting in my car on a Friday night to cruise with me. He brought a tape of the All-State music with him, put it in my tape deck, and sali\g all night long! That's how dedicated they all were!" said Larry Punteney '83. Their serious attitudes paid off when 14 were chosen for the All-State Festival, the most in AL history. It was just October, and we had already accomplished feats that three months earlier not one of us would have dreamed possible. Imagine that! FANS HAVE INTERESTING WAYS of showing spirit! This par.ticular group stands and yells for AL, but when the opposing team is introduced, everyone pretends to read newspapers to show disinterest. I • theme 3 • l 1 'gj ey! Today's Mr. Gaffney's birthday!" shouted someone at the Homecoming car bash. A group of students started singing, and soon 200 more joined in to wish happy birthday to the same principal they had rebelled against the year before. "I was stunned when everyone sang so enthusiastically to Mr. Gaffney. They even clapped after they were through singing!" said Bryan McGee '83. Similar feelings of astonishment surfaced when 217 students arrived at the Christmas Dance and saw 720 blue and silver balloons fill the air around an enormous tree. "After 15 of us spent eight hours decorating, it was worth it to see everyone so dazzled by the balloons," said Gayle Swartz '83, Foreign Student Club president. But that wasn't the only winter event! Because of surprisingly warm weather in January, students created their own fun outside. "It was so warm that I didn't even have to wear my jacket to go sledding!" said Shelley Kenkel '83. Although the warm weather amazed some, others were AFTER 16 SENIOR BOYS compete center stage in everything from beaver costumes to bathing suits, newly crowned Mr. Lincoln, Bryan Whitfield, takes his final walk .

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

" It started out hopeful because our record was so good, but we knew we would have a tough time beating them since they were rated second in Nebraska," said Joe Matthews '83. The AL defense held its own the first half, giving up only seven points. "The defense turned up a credible performance," stated the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. " The players· performed lik e Metro Conference title contenders for two and a half quarters. " But as the game progressed, the Lynx fell 3 1-0. The main event of the night was the band performance and coronation. After Susie Oakes '83, was chosen queen, friends rushed to congratulate her and her escort, Harry Poulous '83. " I really didn 't know what to do after my name was called! I was so ne rv ous; I just stood there!" Oakes said. Although spirits were dampened momentarily by the loss to Northwest, students still looked forward to the fi~al Homecoming event, the dance . " Everyone loved the music! We even started doing the bunny hop!" said Vicki Witham '83. A hired disc jockey played a mix of slow and fast songs. " People were out to have a great time because so many people went stag. No one cared who they danced with ; they just danced!" said Julia Wright '83. Student council president Jeff Ballenger '83, summed up the entire week. " It was incredible to see so many people get involved and have fun!" he said. " DON'T FALL BEHIND!" yells Pat Steenbock to offensive players after an incomplete pass is thrown. "SINCE I DIDN'T GO OUT FOR FOOTBALL, this was my way of expressing my enthusiasm for the team," said Jeff Kraft, who attempts to smash the hood of the car.

A few short feet away, guys whispered about who the cutest girl in school was and who they were going out with on Saturday. Love took its toll on everybody. Some were bound to a true love, while others enjoyed casual dating. Of 100 students polled, 35 held on to the ir true love by going steady. " I'm going steady because I love being attached to someone I really care about," "YUM! I CAN'T WAIT!" Jeff Buch· holz seems to say as he helps Jolene Schwarzkoph make spaghetti. said Wendy Cox '84. Symbols of such love ranged from promise rings to heavy class rings laden with yarn. One symbol was a pin that proclaimed 'I love Howie' or whoever the person happened to be. " I wear the 'I love pin' because I'm in love, and I want the whole world to know it and that they better keep hands off," said Robyn Castillo '84. Thirty students out of 100 polled continued their love long distance to someone in college or already graduated. For most, lo ng dist a nc e relations hip s worked well.

Close relationships in high school are essential!" But Chris Johansen '83 had a different opinion. " I don't believe anyone should -dictate his life at this age," he said. " Since you're always changing, how do you know the person you are choosing now will be what's right in the future?"

Most students said they dated as long as the relationship stayed exciting, and when the excitement died down, they moved on. " I never really stop dating a guy. I just put them on hold for a while," said Marcy Fulfer '83. Even though most students claimed they were playing the field, 41 percent said they were looking for Mr. (or Miss) Right. " I'm looking for someone special. I like to fi nd people I can get to know well," said Tracy Negethon '84.

Of 50 girls surveyed, 35 said they disliked mini skirts and knickers, and 21 said they didn't like legwarmers. " Mini skirts look so funny. I wouldn't ever wear anything that wild, " said Kerri Weaver '83. Although the majority of those polled said they disliked mini skirts, a few girls wore them to school without a second thought. " I've never been a follower, so when I dress, I try to get a look that reflects my sfyle," said Wendy Phillips '83, who owned five minis.

O ne period wasn't an eternity, but it seemed like it when you were sitting in seventh hour listening to the teacher explain " how to reach the volume of an equilibrium solution." Spacing off, you looked at the clock. Only five more minutes and school would be out! A poll of 200 students showed that when the 3:05 bell rang, approximately 51 of them went home for an evening of relaxation, 60 stayed at school past dark to participate in activities such as sports, speech, or publications, and 89 raced to jobs. " I enjoy going home and relaxing with a good book, without any interruptions from teachers or bells," said Theresa Wilson '84. Other forms of relaxing ranged from watching TV to shopping or catching a movie. " Sometimes I'll go to a movie on Tuesday evenings because it's cheaper and it's a nice break in the middle of the week," said Brian Corzine '84. While some considered a movie a nice break, others said sports helped them unwind. " Basketball helps me clear my mind of all my classroom assignments, and that helps me relax," said Paul McConnell '83.

Could she dare steal a few cents from her life savings? Overcome by guilt, she couldn't bear to take a single penny. She decided to try to get an advance on her allowance instead. In a survey of 100 students, 69 admitted that with the teen umemployment rate at 20 percent, most of their money had to come from parents, in the form of an allowance. Although parents supplied the money, most students said they still tried to stretch bucks as far as possible. Denise Driver '84, said, " I know if I need money , Mom will give it to me , but I just hate to keep asking for more money! " Almost every student found himself searching for ways to save his allowance. Methods varied from storing change in piggy banks and stashing bucks in hiding _ places to pinching pennies at the store with money-saving coupons. Dan Fauble '85 , found saving easy when money was kept out of sight. " If I hide it, I don 't see it," he said, " And if I don 't see it, I won't spend it. " Another method required saving change left over from lunch money . Almost every day , Shelly Gilmore '83 , bought lunch with a dollar bill. The left over quarters were saved for special occasions or just for extra spending money. Sometimes, saving meant clipping coupons for bargain deals. Karan Kowal '85, found herself regularly cutting up newspapers in search of coupons that would save her 25 cents to $ 1.50 on each bargain. She later used this money to buy little extras she couldn't normally afford.

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

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

"It seemed that everyone , from stars to crew members, wanted this production to be the best. " Due to several other local productions, audiences were small, totaling just 500 for three nightly performances, compared to la_st year's 700 for only two . Yet, on the night of the final performance, the curtain closed to a standing ovation . As actors hugged one anothe r and tears streamed down their faces, each one realized that what he had lived for during the last three weeks was over. " It was the highlight of my senior year," said Kurt Hansen '83. ' 'I'll never forget it!" Ironically, lyrics in The Pajama Game say, "It's a losing race when you 're racing with the clock."

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

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

Then the moment we 'd all been waiting for arrived. Our class president , Michelle Maaske , led us in turning our tassles.

" This is it, and all !his confusion and irritability I fe el are because I'm so scared. " In the hallway after the recessional, I peeled off my heat-holding robe. Struggling to keep my tears in check, I spotted my favorite teacher, coach, and friend by the stage doors. He reached out to shake my hand. "Congratulations, " he said. Then my dam burst and a flood of tears streamed down my face as I reached to hug him. By the time I got to the cafe , I had the water works under control, though.

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

"The first cake we made by electrolysis was so good we made three more! When the last cake didn't rise in the carton, we used the batter to make chocolate pancakes on the hot plate! " said Terri Dominguez '83. Another unique learning experience lasted five days, when American Government instructor Roger Kuhl's classes, acting as the Senate and House of Representatives, performed duties of the legislative branch of government. "Both classes got the chance to stand up and debate our bill, which pertained to the enforcement of the death penalty. We really had fun!" said Chris Hobbs '83.

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

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

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

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

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

These tracks will support an iron plaque in the shape of Iowa. Welding, building, heating classes give experience orange flames shooting from a gun clasped tightly in their hands. " I found that welding class got tiring and hot because we spent the whole three hours welding, " said Kevin Smith '83. "At least the class was valuable because I found out welding wasn't for me ." Other welding students found their class worthwhile, as they combined efforts to construct a plaque which would greet oncoming traffic on Interstate 80. In the shape of Iowa with railroad tracks leading into the state, the plaque stood nearly 12 feet tall. Constructing projects was also the main goal of the building classes. But on snowy or rainy days, efforts were stifled and students were forced to sit in a stuffy room. "The class helped me decide I couldn't support a family doing construction work," • -· ~ NERVOUSLY CHECKING THE PRICE of a jump· suit, Shirley Chesley works under her supervisor Terri Turk at K-Mart.

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

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

" McCubbin participated in an independent studies class where he created a gi ant silk screen pa inting of an old fashioned telephone operator. Also deve loping pride in their creativity, Media Production students traveled to elementary schools taking endl ess orders for p uppets, bulletin boards, posters, exhibits, notepads, and other teaching tools.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Players said their success was due mainly to teamwork. "Even if we sometimes didn't get along off the field, we became a team when we started playing," said Dan Fauble '85. Players recalled the South game, when they were winning 8-0 and South scored a touchdown with two minutes left. "The whole team was relieved when the defense played together to stop the two-point conversion," said David Paulson '85. In general, sophs felt teammates showed a positive attitude and gave 100 percent. "We were so determined to beat St. Albert that we gave it all we had," said Matt Malskeit '85.

Outstanding players, according to Coach Joe Hauser, were running backs Jeff Hogan and Jim Westmoreland, Todd Pettepier at defensive end, and Shawn Russell, defensive back. While sophomore and varsity teams were crushing opponents, the junior varsity struggled to finish with a 2-5 record. One problem players mentioned was the shifting of people from JV to varsity. "We'd just get used to everyone, and then the coaches would move one of us up to varsity. We just didn't have enough depth to do that," said Tim Gilman '84.

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

"They worked us pretty hard in practice , but it made me feel good about myself to know I was improv· ing," said Lori McKern '85.

We actually beat a team that is rated in State." "Beating Atlantic was the highlight of the season because we had lost to them earlier," said Jodie Core '84. "We really wanted that win to show everyone that we were better than them." Although the team didn't achieve a winning record, players saw the 4- 5 finish as a vast improvement over the 1-8 record from 1981 . "This season was really fun because we played as a team instead of as individuals," said Amy Petersen '84. "We also did better because whenever we had any problems, the coaches made sure we talked about them." Many girls agreed that keeping an open line of communication between players and coaches and among teammates was a factor that influenced play. Jill Krabbe '83, remembered one time when talking openly as a group helped. " At one practice when we were all feeling down because we had lost so much, our coaches made us sit down and talk about our feelings," Krabbe said. "That conversation might have been the turning point which helped us win." Several players attributed the team's improvement to new coaches Mary Kyte, Kirn physical education instructor, and Sherri Wehr, physical education student teacher, who were always able to psyche the girls up before games. Wehr was fondly nicknamed Whiz for this ability. "Whenever Whiz would say, 'Come on you guys, get animal!' we thought we could beat about anyWITH A LOOK OF DETERMINATION, Stephanie Gray passes the ball to Cindy Wilson in a JV game against Gross. one," Core said.

Then, in the Metro Tournament, we beat them, 2-1." Petersen, who was named most valuable player by Kyte and Wehr, led the team in ace sets (120), ace serves (66), and spiking percentage (90.1), while Dee Christensen '84, led in ace spikes (74) and blocks (61). White was the top server (97 .4 percent). For the second year, Petersen was a first-team selection to the allcity team. Carol Koesters '83, and Core were named to the second all· city team.

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

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

With that victory, team members, fans, and even the local media predicted a great season for the Lynx. But those hopes were dashed as cold shooting hovered over the Lynx's 5-13 season. At season's end, stats showed that the Lynx had shot at only 39 percent, and that if their average would have been 43 percent, 12 of the 13 lost games would have been won.

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

The score stood at 52-46 with two minutes on the clock. Christensen knew her free throws would either make or break the game. "When I missed the first one, I got really nervous, but I surprised myself and everyone else by making the next six," she said. In just one minute, the Lynx had raised the score to 59-50, and 15 ecstatic girls realized the city championship was theirs. Capturing the city crown was just one goal the girls set. Another was to beat cross-town rival Tee Jay each time they would meet. When the rivals met the first time on the Lynx home court, Susan Draper '84, managed to score 46 points, the most scored in one game by an individual. Draper's efforts boosted the Lynx to a 74-70 victory over the Yellowjackets. When the teams met the second time , the Lady Lynx came from behind to send the game into overtime. " It was the girls' ability to stay calm in a tense situation which helped them win 75-71 ," said Coach Dave Brown. The final defeat occurred during sectionals 66-54 , bringing the Lynx's final record to 14-7. But the victory that would be remembered the longest was the easiest to gain. On Feb. 12, the Lynx trounced Underwood 65-44, to capture their thirteenth win and a new school record for most games won in one season by a girls' team. " Winning was great because it was so easy; afterward we all relaxed, goofing around on the way home," said Kim Behrens '83. With the city championship and their history-making record behind them, the Lady Lynx entered their last home game against top-rated Tri Center with confidence. Before a fired-up crowd on Parents' Night, the Lynx were just two points behind the 17-0 Tri Center team when the last few seconds ticked away. As the final buzzer sounded, Christensen scored two points, sending the game into overtime. "We put so much energy into the game that when they won 65-55, it was super disappointing," said Kim Heater '83. T earn members attributed their success to respect between players and Brown. A new system of bench decorum, including punishments for unsportsmanlike conduct, helped promote this respect. " We really learned to control our anger during games and practices," said Jodie Core '84. Tough two and a half hour practices consisting of laps, stretching, sprints, scrimmaging, and drills also contributed to success. " Practices were a killer, but I know they helped to build our stamina," said Missy Campbell '83. From the successful team came individual triumphs. Draper scored a record 610 points, helped by 104 assists· from Christense n. Ca rol Koesters '83, had the top free throw percentage of 65 percent.

The team was hurt most when five key seniors chose not to participate. Chuck Fetrow '83, who set six school records his junior year, was one of those five . "I went to AAU for better competition and scholarship opportunities," he said. Other record-breaking swimmers said they gave up swimming for jobs or other sports. With the loss of the five teammates, swimmers often found themselves outnumbered by opponents, and some swimmers had to compete in events to which they were unaccustomed. Ron Murray '84, for example, had to take over the butterfly stroke for Dick Chopra '83, who graduated in mid-season. "After Dick left, I was stuck with a stroke that I didn't have a chance to win with," Murray said. Team members felt that lack of practice time, compared to the 12 A PERFECT TAK EOFF is essential for Julie Johnson as she practices the 100- yard breast stroke at Kirn Pool. hours a week most Omaha teams spent in the water, also contributed to the Lynx's poor record. "We had only one and a half hours of practice a day because Tee Jay and AAU had to have the same amount of practice time we did. With that little time, we couldn't do much after we had completed our 3,000 meters of laps," said Eric Coleman '84, who recorded a seventh place ranking at Districts. But through all their disappointments, most swimmers said that the season was worth the effort. " It wasn't easy to go out and give 100 percent every time, but we supported each other, win or lose, " said James Johannes '85. Outstanding swimmers named by Coach Joe Hauser were J.

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

Players and first-year coach Dennis Koch cited inexperience as a major reason for the poor record and said lack of self-confidence made it hard for girls to win close matches they were capable of winning.

At State, the Lady Lynx placed ninth. Besides winning th shot, Christensen took third in the discus, while the 880-relay team finished fourth . The only major drawback the boys faced resulted from a new ruling by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. According to Coach Joe Hauser, the Lynx were not as well represented at State as in previous years because no Districts were held. Instead, the top 24 times in state from throughout the season qualified . Some Lynx runners didn 't participate at State because of this ruling. "If there would have been districts, I could have gone to State, but we had nothing to look forward to," said Troy Ronnfeldt '83 .

I tried not to think about how many strikes I'd made or the people around me," said Punteney. "I just focused on my mark and thought of nothing else." The absolute concentration proved to be what Punteney needed as the pins toppled under his ball to give him a perfect 300. Two months later, Punteney represented the Lynx in the State bowling tournament, where he placed sixth. "It was a fantastic payoff for the 11 years of hard work and dedication. It was really a dream come true," Punteney said. Although bowling wasn't a school sponsored activity, many Lynx took an interest in the sport. "Bowling relieves the tension of HUDDLED TOGETHER.

Five years ago, the Iowa High School Athletic Association forbade spring baseball, but the rule didn't affect AL and Tee Jay until 1982 because both teams had faced a heavy schedule in Nebraska, whe re spring baseba ll is customary, a ccording to Coach Bob Burns. But even though they began their '82 season with eight losses to Omaha teams, the Lynx mustered enthusiasm to spare, finally boosting the ir season re cord to 27-15.

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

" I shop all sales and look until I find something I like," said LeeAnn Marnin '83. " I rarely pay full price for my clothes." Many girls waited for spring or fall clearance sales to purchase clothing for the next year. " I go shopping each spring for plain colored sweaters and long sleeved shirts for the next year, " said Cathie Rhodes '83 "I try to find things that won't go out of style. " According to a Brandeis salesperson, e ight out of eve ry ten students who shopped at the Brandeis junior department looked for bargains. " When I go shopping, I look for something cute," said Andrea Sasso '84: " but I will always make sure it is inexpensive or on sale." When intrigued by a fad but afraid it would soon go out of style, students usually turned to discount stores. " (go shopping at K-Mart for all the new fashions that come out," said Angie Simmons '83. " I like the styles they have at the lower prices." Girls weren't the only ones who shopped for bargains. " I shop K-Mart or JC Penney's for the best bargains," said Dave Park '83.

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

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

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

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

Although three girls decided to quit, others found ways of surviving the busy days. " When I come to practice at 7 a .m. and don 't get home until 10:30 p.m. because of a game, it gets hectic . When it happens four days in a row, I just stop myself and take a day off!" said Charris Ocken '85. Even though basketball squads seemed burnt out by season's end, wrestling and volleyball squads ended their seasons feeling sad that the good times they had shared were over. Volleyball season gave the newly formed squad of six girls a chance to bu ild friendships among themselves· as well as spirit for the team. "We had fun times because we were all friends, " said Mickey Fairchild '83.

"Sure we had troubles, but since we all cared for each other, we experienced few problems." Besides cheering and traveling to and from matches, wrestling cheerleaders held weekly donut and candy sales to pay for the State Tournament trip . With each girl paying $50 out of her own pocket, the squad found itself with just enough money to cover the $540 hotel bill. And as they packed the last suitcase into the car, seven weary cheerleaders looked back on the fun they had shared.

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

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

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

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

As the girls taped the lists to Holding a high note all yeat long Choirs excel to win awards and rank superior the wall, singers scurried in clusters to the gym floor where all eyes focused on the long awaited results.

" "I have to see this for myself!" insisted Shelly White '83, who charged through the crowd to peer closely at her name. AL students jumped up and .down, cried, and hugged one another, for on this day, 14 of them had become members of the 1982 All-State Chorus. " I couldn't believe it! " said Sheryl Cory '83. "I was so excited that I was hugging everyone in sight, even people I didn't know! " Lee Spann, vocal music instructor, said this was the greatest number of accepted All-State members since 1968. With such a super start to their year, choir members were inspired to set goals and excel.

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

W hether slaving in a sweltering kitchen for nine hours at a time or talking on the airwaves to fellow students a thousand miles away, academic clubs tried to fight off strong apathy. Overall, membership of academic clubs dropped from 64 the previous year to 55. "The kids want to be in clubs, but they don't have the time to do things for them, " said Tom Lara, Spanish Club sponsor. Students' involvement in other activities seemed to hinder academic clubs most. " I'm in choir, and all Math and Computer Club's events are scheduled at the same time. I would like to do more for the club, but music is my top priority," said Mark Ryerson '83. Creighton Math Days, held J an. 29, proved to be the major activity of Math and Computer Club.

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

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

" On one of the final deadline nights, Mrs. Smoley gave each senior a personalized graduation card. After several seniors fi n· ished reading theirs, their eyes looked slowly around the room at people who had become so much more than co-staffers, and tears shone brightly in their eyes.

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

Pay attention. I have some dittos to pass out. Everyone take one, and I'll explain them," he said. As they passed out the sheets, veteran members wondered curiously about such organization. They were expecting last year's shouting and confusion. On the ditto was an outline of things to be done for Homecoming Week and the names of those in charge of each activity. According to Ballenger, this list was just the beginning of what he wanted to accomplish.

''I'm proud that we Ce1 fin' ahiolufely mofivafed Student Council gets organized for active year; Foreign Club slows to gain outside involvement ended our year with almost $1000 in our account." Having such a surplus of money presented the pleasant-problem of deciding how to spend the money before the end of the year so it wouldn't be used for the general fund . "Jeff came to a meeting with about five ideas for things to buy for the school," said Shelley Kenkel '83, secretary. "We voted on a clock for the student lounge and a directory for the front hall because we figured most people would benefit from these items." Many members felt that Student Council sponsored more activities and was more organized than the previous year. "Everyone in Student Council was there because they wanted to be," said Kim Heater '83.

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

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

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

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

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

"We had such a tremendous / line load," said Peggy Button '84, " that sometimes I'd worry about four people having to remember so much."

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

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

The four seniors were part of an anti-drug group, Body and Mind Against Drugs (B-MAD). Formed in September by Dick Miller, a local pharmacist, the group performed basketball demonstrations at 20 elementary schools and spoke to sixth graders about school involvement as an alternative to using drugs. " It's a good idea to keep younger kids off drugs, and I get satisfaction knowing I can make a difference," Ballenger sa id. Besides encouraging youngsters to get more involved in sports and other school activities, B-MAD members showed them how to keep in shape .

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

" When I finally got to the top, I just shut my eyes and hoped I wouldn't crash into anyone ," said Teri Hough '83. Most seniors, however, chose not to take part in the thrills and stay at school. "I didn't have the money at the time," said Cheryl Burke '83 . "I a lso didn 't know how to ski ." All who went, though , agreed that the trip was a part of their senior year they would not forget.

After eight weeks of cancelled football games, players and committee members came up with a tentative agreement limiting games to nine per season, the fewest in history, and a wage scale ranging from $30,000 to $200,000 for a rookie to an 18-year veteran respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spring-like February, winter in March and April keep us wondering what kind of weather we'll get next from ... Mixed-up Mothe r A woman has the right to change her mind. At least that's what people say . And Mother Nature was no exception .

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

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

" It eve n helped me decide on a couple careers I might be interested in ." Although the fair was a success, many students fo und it hard to see all the professionals. " When we walked in the door, the first 15 or 20 minutes were spent talking to each other," said Kim Johnson '84. " By the time we got the nerve up to talk to the professionals, half the period was gone.

F ire truck sirens blared , bands tooted, horses trotted, and candy flew even though an overcast sky threatened rain. Out of the 111 entries that paraded down Main Street on that rainy morning for the fifth annual pride celebration, only two belonged to AL. One of those was the Marching Band , which joined with Tee Jay and Lewis Central to form one large band. " I thought it was really neat to see the bands pull together and try to do our best," said Valarie Witham '83. Student Council members and cheerleaders also participated by making and riding on a float shaped like a huge oper-r yearbook with names of AL organizations written on the pages.

" I was surprised to get it, because only five were chosen in the whole city," Reilly said. Before the parade, students participated in a week of pride activities. Starting Monday, May 9, they walked through the halls clad in sweats, Hawaiian shirts, and mini skirts, according to the code for the day. " Punk and preppy day was my favorite ," said Angie Simmons '83, " It was fun to dress wild." Then on Thursday, May 12, Dr. Ra j Chopra returned to Council Bluffs to ded icate a " Welcome to Council Bluffs " sculpture at Thirty-sixth and Broadway. Despite the drizzling rain , Chopra was greeted by enthusiastic students and officials proud that at last the city would be identified to visitors driving from the west. The 20-foot high sculpture in the shape of Iowa attached to an arch of railroad tracks was designed by Jeff Brown, a senior at Tee Jay, and built by welding students at the Career Center.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jn a random poll, 15 seniors said they had home computers, and many more said they would like one for various reasons. Although Stebbins wanted to major in computer science, she admitted using her brother's computer most often to play games. " When my mom and I have time, we like to compete and play Snake Bite, Pac Man, and Serpentine," Stebbins said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Student Life Division 7 To wish upo8: a onderful weekend Y our English essay came back with a sea of red on it, you bombed your math test, you got into a fight with your psychology teacher, your locker wouldn't shut, and you were wondering if the week would ever end. All you could think about was Friday night. Even when you had no big plans, weekends were a precious break from the same old grind of school. "l need my weekends as a time to cool off from the tensions 1 face at school, " said Brad White '86. Many students thought of the weekends as treasured catchup time, especially for extra · shut-eye.

Most of all, people looked forward to weekends as a time for special plans. Movies, get-togethers with friends, dates, and shopping were several favor· ites. Weekends were so special, in fact, that some students spent many hours Monday through Friday dreaming about them. Libby Campbell '86, said she often dreamed up this pleasing scenario: "My parents go out of town, and 1 have a huge party. Everything goes perfectly, and to top if all off, my parents nevGO DIRECTLY TO JAIL! Cher y l Martin, Miche lle Ross, a nd Laurel Martin pla y Mono poly o n a Saturday afte rnoo n. er find out. " Surprisingly, 48 of 75 students polled said their actual weekends almost always measure up to their daydreams and fantasies. On the contrary, other students said that to guard against letdowns, they tried not to s pend too much time daydre aming about or planning weekends. " A group of friends and I had planned to go to Omaha to see The Outsiders. We decided to go to Pizza Hut before the movie.

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

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

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

Although 79 percent of stu· dents polled named rock·n·roll as their favorite music , 21 per· cent were split between country and new wave. "I listen to country," said Dee Christensen '84, " and I can't stand it when someone wants to listen to that bee·bop stuff they play on Sweet 98." Of new wave, Helen Poulos '85, said, "It's fun and new. Pea· pie can get crazy and be differ· ent."

''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.

"I love the look and feel of angora," said Lisa Jordan '85, "especially the pastel col· ors. They're so soft and pretty!" Although many girls loved to wear dress· es, they found that temperature extremes in fall and winter made them impractical for school, so they were saved for dates and special occasions such as dances.

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

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

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

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

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

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!"

Penny Hutchison, Senior Class sponsor, puts the Mr. Lincoln robe around Wright's shoulders. 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.

"I n the last weeks before Prom, I spent every waking hour hoping I hadn't left something out," said Sandi Voss '85. Instrumental in planning the 1984 Prom, Voss turned her thoughts from tinsel and holly to rock music and m oney just a few weeks after Christmas. Her first projects were setting up candy and wrapping paper fundraisers which earned $749.43. She was also in charge of the nervewracking job of finding a band. " We went through eight bands before we decided on the one we liked," Yoss said. Prom 37 I I a'~~ Some of us were obvious standouts.

" The hospital was like my second home when I first began because I wanted one of the dolls that was a reward for 500 hours," Debbie said. " The doll was handmade to resemble me in my uniform ." Since Debbie became a supervisor in 1982, she donated another 500 hours and was presented with her 1000- hour award in March. Ironica lly, Debbie's experience helped her realize she didn ' t want to become a nurse as she had planned. " Candy striping gave me the chance to work around doctors and observe the types of things they do," said Debbie. " It made me realize that if I ever became a nurse, I wouldn 't be able to handle situations that dealt with death." some friends built a 26-foot long, 91/2-foot high , and 8-foot wide ramp in his back ya rd .

As she watched Andres Silva '83, a foreign exchange student who had lived with her family for close to 11 months, board the airliner for Colombia , Tammy 's mind wandered back to the many great times she had spent with her brother. She realized that those times were over and that she might never see Andres again. " It was really sad when Andres gave me my good-bye hug. Neither of us could help it - we both broke down and cried, " Tammy said. ing, I skate like there's no tomorrow! If I crash , it's painless at first, and then seconds later, I hurt pretty bad ," said Brian. " But I don 't slack off because it's a good rush ." "MY FRIENDS AND I are making plans to enlarge the ramp soon," said Brian Baber, who skateboards in his back yard. "IT'S A CHALLENGE to play Jens because he's excellent at games, " said Tammy Mcintosh, who tries to win Leverage against Jens Ove Peter, a German exchange student. As representatives of an exchange program , Tammy's parents housed eight foreign exchange students in seven years. Tammy said she e njoyed hosting students not only because she developed close friendships , but also because she lea rned about different c ultures . " I was surprised to learn , for example, that European teenagers can 't drive until they are 18 and that their licenses cost close to $900," Tammy said.

She brushes her dog as part of a daily routine. -___...H~L Early in the summer before her sophomore year, Maureen Liggett '86, nervously walked through the front doors of the International School of Model· ing to find a large room covered with m irrors. Approaching the office, she couldn 't help noticing the im· po rtan t·looking people who seemed to look her over as she passed. The tension mounted as she sat down to begin her interview for acceptance. Little did she know that in a short tim e she would officially be a student at the school. " I was so happy when I was told I was accepted, especially when they said I had potential," said Maureen. Since enrolling in modeling school, Maureen learned how to apply make·up, sty le her hair, c hoose c lo thing, w al k with poise, and pose for a camera. Maureen was introduced to modeling by her neighbor, Ce· linda M iller, a photographer and former model. Maureen's happiest moment in modeling school came when she learned Blue Jean Cologne Company bought her photo for an ad. " l was surprised when t hey chose m y picture for the ad. I didn't think 1 would get it!" Mau· reen said. Maureen said her father was also surprised. He thought she was too young to model, and he didn't believe her when she told him that she was chosen. Although her father felt her modeling was a passing phase, Maureen said she was serious about continuing her career. " l feel modeling has changed m y life.

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

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

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

Robuck said that he made this decision because it is more contemporary to have just the flag and rifle teams march. Like the band, the rifle team had to cope with a decreasing number of participants. When two girls quit and two more were kicked off the eight· person squad, four members were left to perform alone.

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

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

Therefore, they devised ere· ative activities to reinforce stu· dents' knowledge of the Ian· guages. Playing games such as Ger· man Scrabble and French Mo· nopoly helped with vocabulary, while corresponding with Ger· man cities' travel agencies helped students apply language and learn about culture. Foreign language clubs also provided ways to expand knowledge of languages. The Spanish Club traveled to Drake University in Des Moines, where members saw a film on bull-fighting and learned of Drake's Spanish courses. " Spanish students from Drake served dinner, and if we said anything in English, they pretended they couldn't hear," "MY TOPIC IS . . .

The group also attended a Spanish play, El Pequeno Bein· abe, and ate at Mexican restau· rants. "The play was all in Spanish, and I had to concentrate on the words, but I could understand what was going on," said Jill Pechacek '86. German Club members got a taste of German recreation by playing in a Muhle tournament. Muhle, a strategic game, is a mixture of checkers, tic·tac·toe, and backgammon. " I learned how to play Muhle just by playing in class, " said Glen Meyer '85, who won the first place trophy and $10. Both English and Foreign Ian· guage teachers were sold on the idea of preparing the students for college. Giving special rec· ognition to writers, developing a tougher curriculum, and trying to reinforce language know!· edge were just a few steps they took to accomplish the goal.

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

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

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

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

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

While chefs made delicate c repes, advanced sewing students worked with delicate fabric and detailed patterns. Debbie Reed '84, spent an entire semester working on her independent study sewing project, a twin-size quilt with 165 separate squares. " This quilt has taken a lot of work because all of the squares are separate, but when I finish it, I know I will have accomplished something to be proud of," Reed said. Students who wanted more time to develop their practical skills joined the Home Economics or Electronics Club. " I like Electronics Club because it gives me extra time to work on getting my ham radio license. When I get my license, I will be able to talk to people all around the world," said Glen Meyer '85.

While the class involved only three seniors in 1983, Pearson's program involved 12 seniors and 25 juniors. In class, students covered to· pies ranging from communica· tion and sales to safety and ad· vertising, and then they applied what they learned in a retail job.

For the first time in 10 years, 19 students competed at State, bringing home one honorable mention and 19 competency awards. "None of us did that well, but we tried our hardest," said Shel· lie McGlade '85. "We had a lot of fun, and it was a good learn· ing experience, too." Trades and Industry, Food Service, and Office Education also served students as cooper· ative programs between the school and business communi· ty. Many of the 66 students en· rolled found co·op programs in· valuable. "I've learned how to get and keep a job," said Todd Russel '84, " and I've gotten a lot of help with career deci· sions."

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.

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.

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."

After it was announced that the AL sophomores had won fourth place, the JV girls ner· vously glanced at one another and clenched their sweaty palms even more tightly as third and second place winners were announced. The girls held their breath while the announc· er screamed, " Our first place trophy goes to the outstanding JV squad from . . . Abraham Lincoln High School!"

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Finally, they secured several wins with last second shots from the line.

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

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

As a result of her ineligibility, the team had to forfeit its wins in the first five matches. Although the girls bounced back to shoot their lowest score ever, a 201 against Tee Jay, dis· appointment came again when they missed a chance at regional play by taking third at Section· als.

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

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

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

Those were some of the most im· portant characteristics coaches looked for in team managers, who generally took care of nasty but necessary details. " Filling six water bottles, twice a game, two games a night became so monotonous that by the end of the season, I never wanted to see another water bottle again!" said Lori Lepley '85, girls ' bas· ketball manager. Another tedious job managers faced was record· ing every basket, assist, rebound, steal, set, spike, serve, field goal, and touchdown, as they kept team statistics. " The volleyball players would get mad if the stats weren 't perfect every time. They didn't realize how hard it was to keep track of the spike sheet and the set sheet at the same time," said Cheryl Martin '86, volleyball manager. Convincing players that they could finish that last line drill or lose that last pound before the weigh-ins became another job for managers, who often boost· ed team morale. Clark A llen, wrestling coach, said he really appre· ciated how well Nancy Goeser '85, wrestling man· ager, got along with wrestlers while they were cutting weight. " My brother wrestled, so I understood what the GRAB THAT BALL! Volleyball manager Cheryl Martin rounds up the last of the volleyballs after practice. WITH A LITTLE TWIST, football manager Al Mabbitt replaces the face mask of a broken helmet. wrestlers were going through. I felt sorry for some of them because they were so weak from cutting weight and then they had to go through tough practices ," said Goeser. Although some managers felt their efforts went unnoticed by athletes, players and coaches really appreciated the managers ' support. "Al Mabbitt, the football manager, was always there when we had problems with our equipment," said Todd Pettepier '85. " During the Tee Jay game, my helmet broke and I had to wear another one for a while. I was really glad when Al fixed mine because the other one was really uncomfortable." Managers appreciated and respected atheltes, too. After the last home game, for example, Kris Lippke '86, and Lepley, girls' basketball managers, presented the team with a cake. " I thought it was really nice of Lori and Kris to give us a cake after the way we griped and com· plained to them. The cake represented how much they cared and how much they wanted to be a part of the team ," said Nancy Sealock '85. In fact, managers usually volunteered for the job because they wanted to be part of a team . " 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 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. Another money-saver was the $9,713 security system installed in the library.

On Aug. 30 , students stepped into a 100-degree frying pan, otherwise known as AL, and sizzled there for two weeks. Although school days were shortened several times due to hea t, and spectators comfort· ably wore shorts to games, students sweltered in c lassrooms. " It was impossible to concentrate when all you could think of was how hot you were, " said Mike Chapman '86. 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.

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

Although Glenn was the only candidate to appear at AL, a poll of 100 students showed only 4 supported him while 50 favored Gary Hart.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 car bas its own mind Y ou spent all your time at Lake Manawa, driv· ing the family boat from Bluffs Toyota to Tim O'Neil Chevrolet, looking longingly at everything from Chevettes to Z·92's. Your eyes were riveted to every Trans Am and Supra that whizzed by. You ~ere desperate to find that perfect yet affordable car. When you finally scraped together the money for a down payment, you thought your problems were over - no more Friday night bouts with your broth· er or plea-bargaining with parents for the keys to the boat. Little did you know that your problems were just beginning. You didn't realize that supporting a car on a part-time salary could be almost as difficult as your dad making ends meet for a family of four. " My car seems to run me," said Patty Sturm '84. " I have to work three school days or one whole Sunday weekly to save $160 a month to pay for my car." If you had chosen to buy a used car, you found that it often needed drastic repairs at the most incon· venient times. " I spent 11 hours on my car one Saturday," said Jeff Moats '84. "After taking the engine out, I found that I had a hole in my oil pan gasket, which meant I SHOVELIN' OFF THE SNOW.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. The switch was on! WAY TO GO, AL! Mobette Darvi Lewis cheers the boys' basketball team on during the game against Nebraska's first-rated Northwest.

Kurt Kay leads t he mob in a cheer during a time out in the girls' game against Oakland. 6 Student Life Division hether to sit through another season surrounded by listless basketball fans, or to try unheard of tactics to fill their blah beings with spirit - that was the question. 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.

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 always seem to spend all my money, but I never have anything worthwhile to show for it." Melanie Johnson '86 saving money. " 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. "With everyone participating at assem· blies, the school year seemed more exciting and energetic," said Sheri Bowerbank '87. " Sometimes the cheers echoed so loud, I felt as if the roof might cave in." Bursting with laughter, students begged for more at the final football pep assembly when cheerleaders dressed as members of the varsity squad. SPARKIN' SPIRIT. 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?" Matt Burke shows Jim Heidenscher the techniques of a new game on the computer in Burke's bedroom. 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. " Staying out late with 24 Student Life "There just aren't enough hours to squeeze all of my activities into one day. The more I get involved, the less sleep I have each night.''

" One night, I didn 't get home until 5 a.m. from a huge party," said Lori McKern '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.

"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. Homecoming was an explosive week no one will soon forget. " STRUTTING HIS STUFF, Mark Dorsett boogies to Complete Music Saturday night at the dance.

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." Stephanie Gray portrays Belle Starr singing her way into cowboys' hearts in a western saloon. 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.

" After Pam was announced queen, I thought the boy she had been dating would be king," said Matt Matskeit '85. " I was really excited and surprised when they "DON'T FORGET to hand me the envelope," Jill Pechacek tells Amy Lemen as they discuss their plans to announce Prom king and queen. called my name. 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. " My friends and my date and I didn 't let the fun end until we were absolutely worn out," said Barb Shea '86. We stayed awake the whole night, and I ended up sleeping the entire next day!

Prom 37 teary goodbyes with a clever caper 38 Student Life hesitant silence filled the small gym as graduat· ing seniors glanced at each other uncertain· ly . 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!

" My instruc· tions were to make everyone in the circle laugh. I had to make faces, tickle them, or, some· times if I just started laughing, they would break up, too."

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 need such skills before they go on to college," said Don Wh y te, English in· structor. " The students enjoyed Mrs. Grandick so much they sent her roses ." 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.

Computation for eompQtition P eering through his gog· gles, mad scientist Rich Housley '85, magically trans· formed chemical calculations into foaming formulas. 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 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. " Before star gazing, club mem· bers grilled hot dogs and ham· burgers, met new members, and planned events for the year.

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.

Classmates listened unbelievingly to stories of dirty children, stale cookies, inadequate equipment, and neglect. " I didn ' t know what to think," said Hall. " 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.

Although most students kept the clocks they made, their next project was a roll top bread· box , which many gave as Christmas gifts. " It was a difficult project," said Jeff Thurman '87.

"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. Between projects, students learned how to carve different joints and use various pieces of machinery. " The class is basic to any in· dustrial arts class," said instructor Larry Harriman.

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. "Typewri ters wi ll someday rarely be used, so the school wi ll purchase only word processors for students to learn to type on from now on," she said.

Graham received her national berth at State competition , when she finished second in the General Merchandising event, master employee level. In district competition, the AL DECA chapter performed better than ever before. 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.

ACCEPTING FOR DECA, Sam Engel shows off a certificate of recognition from the city during a breakfast at Thumbs. "We made the week extra special by having a breakfast and inviting the administration," said Karen Stone '85.

For three hours a day, the students diligently endured the weather to gain three credits per semester and experience which most considered invalu· able. 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.

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.

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. A tradition of participation in student council activities began when gorillas skateboarded down ramps shooting fellow monsters with squirt guns on "Crazy Day" and sun worshippers applied suntan oil to the beat of blaring Beach Boys music on " Beach Day."

" This year, you were a jerk only if you wore regular clothes ." 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."

Philpot was referring to the state speech contest in which she and 14 other AL stu· dents participated.

" My oratory was on improv· ing education.-! got so wrapped up in get· ting my message across that I forgot there were judges!" 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. " I wouldn 't vote for Ferarro just because she's a woman. I would choose the person most qualified," said Darla Gearhart '86. "FOUR MORE YEARS!"

Donated to the department by Tim O 'Neill Chevrolet, the Citations were a drastic change from the Datsuns of the previous three years, which were cramped and lacking in power. 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.

"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. " Our practices went well and AS TIME RUNS OUT, Coach Joe Hauser watches his sophomore team post the ir only w in, 28-14 over Gross.

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.

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 girls stayed consistent, winning seven consecutive m atches and grabbing the city championship. " We really dominated in the spring after a shaky fall season.

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.

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.

"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.'"

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.

Decisions, decisions oining forces Seniors take advantage of armed forces Uncle Sam turned out to be a pretty good guy. To many seniors, he promised money for college and a sense of security. Some students found that joining the guard would give them an excellent return on their investment of time. " I joined the National Guard for eight years. During the summer before I go to college. I'll go through bootcamp. Then whi le I'm in college, I'll only have to work for the armory on weekends while they're paying for my tuition," said Rod Branden· burg '85. 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.

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."

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 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.

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!"
