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

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

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

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

She staggered over to the closet, thinking, "I haven't worn my taupe suede skirt lately." When she spotted the skirt, though, a horrible thought ran through her mind, "Oh no! I wore the white turtleneck that I wear with it yesterday!" Frantically she rummaged through her drawers, tossing clothes all over her room. Finally, deciding her green sweater looked good with her skirt, she glanced at the clock and realized she had spent an hour finding something to wear. Of 71 students polled, 40 said selecting and coordinating clothes was most important to them. "I think that clothes express someone's personality and mood," said Hough. "When I feel bummed out, I dress sloppy. If I'm in a good mood, I try to look nice so I spend a lot of time getting ready." Because clothes were so important, 55 out of 71 students said that shopping was an expensive, time consuming project. "NOW THIS IS STYLE, " Chad Redman says to Jennifer Zupher as they browse in the library. (Photo by Stacy Robicheau) "I'm literally a shopaholic," said Tami Schultz '90, "If I go shopping for just one thing, I end up buying several things. One time I went shopping for a pair of black pants. While I was looking for them, I found a really cute pair of plaid pants. By the time I left the store, I had bought the plaid pants, a green top, and a scarf. "I also put a watch and a leather jacket on layaway. I ended up spending over $500, and I never did get the black pants that day." Most students polled said hunting for accessories was a big part of looking good. "I bought my homecoming outfit all at the same time. I decided I wanted a matching bracelet and barrette to go with it," said Ronda Larson '90. "I went to five or six stores before I found what I wanted." · Although 32 girls said they spent much time in search of the perfect outfit, only half as many guys said they enjoyed a trek through the mall.

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

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

Every male polled said his first sexual encounter was by choice, but only 11 of 44 girls surveyed said they had wanted to become sexually active. Five girls said they gave in to pressure, and 28 said they were under the influence of alcohol. "One night I was out drinking with my friends," said one junior girl. "We ran into the guy I was dating. Before I knew it, I ended up sleeping with him that night."

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

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

With favorites like Prince, Def Leppard, and Sting appearing, 48 out of 73 polled said they had attended a concert sometime in 1988. "Sting was great," said Scott Downing '90. "I missed him last time, so I made it a point not to miss h~m again. Ticket costs often soared, but students willingly forked out the $10 to $40 needed to see their favorites.

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

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

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

Along with traditional witches and warlocks , party goers included Newhart's Larry, Daryl, and Daryl, the mayor of Dwarf Town , and the entire cast of Wizard of Oz. When they were tired of dancing, students could compete in unusual contests like bobbing for Aaby Ruths out of a toilet. The cost was 10 cents, and each time a person nabbed a Baby Ruth, his or her name was put into a drawing for the toilet. "I really wanted that toilet," said Jim Mathisen '89. "I thought it would look sweet in my bedroom ." Another big hit was the win-a-date with Terry Troutner contest. "I wanted to win that contest so bad," said one sophomore girl. " Terry Troutner is so hot." Another "hot" part of the evening was the live entertainment. The wild crowd calmed down to give its attention to senior swing choir members Doug Hoover, Dennis Kirlin, and Rob King as they sang "Kiss Him Goodbye." "It was a scary experience for me because it was the first time I ever sang a solo in front of such a big crowd ," said Kirlin. The biggest highlight of the dance was a chance to dance with one of Al's own Chippendales, Tyler French '89, Randy Goeser '90, Scott Wright '89, and Dave Tornabane '89, all dressed in bow ties, running tights, and nothing else. "I was a Chippendale because I thought it would be fun," said Goeser. " Besides, a bunch of people bet me I wouldn't do it." All it took to dance with one of the Chippendales was a little guts and 50 cents. " They were all so good looking," said Stacy Robicheau '91. "It was hard to decide which one to dance with ." Even with the Chippendales, the dance was still not financially successful. "We lost a lot of money," said DECA member Jody Anderson '89.

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

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

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

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

January 33 Valentines, 'Fiddler on Roof' make for ot times on icy days A fter a gentle January, shivering students reluctantly prepared to scrape their windows and jump-start their car.s when the mercury suddenly dropped from 40 above to an incredible 10 below Feb. 3. Even though Mother Nature's icy grip lasted for the entire month, students enjoyed hot times in a frosty February. "During the first week in February, Amy Larsen, Kathy Westphal, and I went ice skating at Ak-Sar-Ben," said Kim Shipley '90. "We all knew how to ice skate, but since we weren't that good at it, we had contests to see who could fall down the most. Kathy lost because she kept hanging on to the sides of the skating rink.'' The February freeze-out was still in full force on Valentine's Day, but enough flowers, candy, and balloons were delivered to school to inundate three offices and warm the hearts of hundreds of students. "My boyfriend sent me three red roses with a really the gifts, I was so surprised. It was such a romantic thing for him to do!" Temperatures still hadn't risen by the time Fiddler on the Roof was performed at the end of February, but endless hours of hard work in a hot auditorium made for sweaty rehearsals. "On several busy nights we would arrive at 3:30 right after school and not leave until midnight," said Teri Fender '89. "We all nice vase, an 'I Love You' worked so hard.

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

But super comfy clothes and warm, sunny days seemed to make sitting in the classroom harder than ever. "Third quarter was the worst for me," said Chuck McKinley '89. "Every day was warm and sunny, and I found myself totally avoiding my homework and daydreaming during class about being outside." But finally, during the last week of March, students were able to enjoy summertime activities during spring break that brought temps over 70 degrees. FUZZY HUGS.

(Photo by Sheryl Clark) "I was so glad that spring break brought really warm weather," said Stephanie Schaben '89. "I was finally able to wash my car, and my boyfriend took me on motorcycle rides ." On March 25, many students got together with their friends and family for Easter celebrations. "The Roth family came to our house for an Easter egg hunt," said Kristi Gift '89. "My parents hid 69 eggs with candy in some of them, but I found only 17." With the help of sunny days, spring break, and an early Easter, students experienced spring fever in March. - Lori Paulsen March's Places. to Go ''During the first week in March, I went camping in Neola with a bunch of my friends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In one game against TeeJay, A.L. was losing 0-7 but came back to win 8-7. For the girls, a strong defense was a result of many years of playing together.

But as if to dampen spirits, Mother Nature sent a downpour over the field just minutes after the game started. As once packed stands emptied, players began to doubt their fans. Bot when players ran onto the field after the 45 minute game delay, they were shocked to see the stands filled with sopping wet fans cheering in the rain. "Right after Todd (Johnson A TANGLED MESS.

"Then it started to rain and we all thought it would hurt the momentum we had going , but when we came back on the field and saw all the fans cheering in the rain, it made us keep our momentum up." From then on, the Lynx never looked back and went on to clobber the Falcons 32-6, proving to themselves and . their fans they had what it took _to play tough and win. But hopes of a winning season soon dimmed as the Lynx went on to lose their next four games, in part, ironically enough, because of their enthusiastic fans. "After the St. Albert game, I OFFENSE! During the second half of the game against the Bryan Bears, center Chris Pleake gets ready to snap the ball to quarterback Mike Moats. (Photo by Tad Brewer) think we just laid back and sucked up all the praise everyone was giving us," said Dale McMurray '89. "Everyone, including teachers, kept coming up and saying how great we played, so we stopped working hard at practice. We started losing and then lost confidence, which we didn't gain back until the Bryan game." Starting out slow, the Lynx trailed the Bears 27-7. But after a halftime pep talk, the Lynx dominated the second half and won 28-27. "I think what motivated us to win was the fact that we all expected Emsick to be mad and come in the locker room yelling at us," said Johnson. "But he didn't. He came in and (continued on page 50) Football 49 I GS KIN started putting up diagrams of how we could win the game. It was like he thought we were still in the game and as a result, we believed we were." But all the motivation Ems i ck could give was not enough to make the Lynx a match for the Metro's top rated Creighton Prep and Millard South, who inflicted devastating losses on the Lynx. After playing tough Omaha teams, the Lynx went on to win the last game of the season against cross town rivals Tee Jay 24-17. " The Tee Jay game meant the most to me," said Leo Mcintosh ' 89 , "especially since it was the seniors' last game and we wanted revenge on th em from beating us last LYNX PRIDE.

"We practiced two times a day in the summer, " said McMurray, "plus we went to football camp for four hours a day, and practiced for two and a half hours everyday in the afternoon after school." . Despite heavy practicing, JV also had trouble, ending their season 1-8. I think our main problem was the fact that we never had any time at all to get our plays down," said Chris Bryson '90.

" Miss Kyte had faith in us and that was the thing that kept us going," said Lori French '90. "If your coach doesn't believe in you, you can't believe in yourself." According to Heidi Workman '91, the girls set out to prove a point to skeptics . Once they took off to what was a 23-10-4 season for varsity, and a 18-0-2 record for JV, they never looked back. During a match against Atlantic, the team used its desire to knock off the Trojans in five games. After trailing by two games, the Lady Lynx pulled together just in time. "It was looking bad for us," said Michelle Frick '89. "We couldn't do anything right. Fans were leaving because they figured we'd lose. Something clicked in the third game. Heidi had one awe~ome hit; after that we pulled through." But the season wasn't all wins and losses. There was much work to be done to prepare for competition. "I loved coaching the girls.

All hopes of State ended as the ball fell out of bounds and the season came to an emotional end. "We all sat in the locker room and bawled," said Scherzinger. "Then Miss Kyte gave us a pep talk.

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

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

"The newspaper contained information on all of the classes available at the Career Center," said Lisa Anderson '90. "Everyone seemed to be impressed that our class could make such a good paper." A s she made a right turn, Melanie Freed '91 , steered the Citation head-on into a parked car. Luckily, driver's ed. instructor Thomas Stull grabbed the wheel and slammed on the brake, saving her from a disaster. This was just one of many near accidents caused by nervous driver's ed. students second semester. " I was afraid of hitting a mini-van, so I turned the wheel too far," said Freed. " After he grabbed the wheel, I was waiting for him to yell and tell me I had an F for the day, but luckily he didn't." T he stench of formaldehyde wafted through the University Med Center Gross Anatomy Lab, where 13 Career Health students were about to view a cadaver . To prepare students for the experience of viewing a cadaver, doctors told them the bodies weren't people but lumps of flesh to study .

After five minutes, some student s became exhausted and quit, but others forced themselves to continue for the full 15 minutes. After two weeks, some students noticed an improvement. "I got tired when I rode those bikes for more than 1 O minutes," said Mauer, "but I kept going, and afterwards, I felt just like I'd had a real bike ride." .. ~. .o .. ·: .· . •O .. • · .

A II the students in instructor Connie Byrne's fifth hour Analysis class stood in a row representing open lockers in an analysis problem. Byrnes turned every second student around, then every third student, fourth, and so on . At last, the students had the answer to their problem: If there were 1,000 open lockers in a row and someone closed every second one, then another person changed every third, fourth, etc., how many would be left open? " Thinking I was clever, I spent a half hour doing the problem with 100 lockers on graph paper," said Terri Smock '90. "I got the right answer, but then I found out I could have done it in about a minute using just 10 lockers. I felt pretty stupid." R ockets being launched, a man lifting weights, and a child brushing his teeth were a few of many activities that took place in Ron Lakatos' Computer Programming class - that is, these activities took place on the computer screen after students wrote original programs that included graphics. "This is about the funnest thing we've done all year," said Shawn Hatcher '91. "Using a fun activity like this really motivated me to do my assignment." A s the cold winter days approached, students in first floor math classes sometimes spent more time shivering than working on their math. The problem was soon solved when instructor Bob Pettepier brought a space heater into his Algebra 3-4 class. Students would race into the room to get a seat next to the space heater. "When I sat by the heater, I was less worried about the cold and I could concentrate on my assignment," said Amy Larsen '90. S tudents in Howard Graber's geometry class liked to see stars. As the year came to an end, students stared intently at the bulletin board at the front of the room, where rows of stars followed their names, each star indicating a Bon a test. If ten stars accumulated on a student's card, he would be exempt from taking the final exam. "Everyone was always in competition with one another," said Kris Sund '91.

Students brought in cheese and other foods that had accumulated mold, and then to recognize different forms of fungus, they examined the specimens under a microscope and drew the cellular composition of the fungi. "It was neat to see the difference between the way plants look on the inside compared to the way they look on the outside," said Denise McClellan '91. D rop after drop of blood oozed out of sophomore Ryan Olsen's index finger and fell into the beaker below as Joe Hauser's biology class gathered to watch. While teaching the structure of red blood cells , Hauser had asked for a volunteer to give blood, and Olsen bravely stepped forward. The class proceeded to mount and magnify the cells and identify the structure . Little did Olsen know that once his finger started bleeding, it would not quit. "The blood just kept pouring out," said Heidi Workman '91. "It was so gross, it almost made me sick. " A lchemy was the ancient mythological science of turning lead to gold, but students in chemistry class used copper pennies instead of lead. To become familiar with properties of physical and chemical change, students heated the pennies with zinc compounds and realized they hadn't created gold, but 'fools' gold.

"Clayton was hilarious," said Sara Richey '91. "I don't understand how he kept a straight face when everyone else in the class was dying laughing." A fter 18 eager students entered AP Journalistic Writing on Apr. 3, they got a shocking surprise . After students spent an hour answering AP multiple choice questions on literary techniques used in complicated passages, they spent three hours writing essays . On the average, students answered only 20 out of 45 questions correctly and were told that many of their essays would not have passad the test . " I thought I'd do better on the practice test than I did, and I was discouraged," said Ericka Wellman '91. "But everybody did bad on it, so we realized we had a lot of work to do to get ready for the real thing ." M ost used cake for dessert, but English 7-8 students used cake to make a Greek theater, complete with a chorus, audience, and actors. For a project, seniors Kevin Malick, Beth Tangeman , and Lisa Koenig constructed a model of a Greek theater from white cake and frosting . "We made two cakes and placed them on top of one another," said Tangeman . " One cake served as the floor, and the other was the stage." H e's out of his mind," said Andrea Rocheleau '90. "We can 't write a sentence 100 words long!" This was the reaction of honors English students after they were given the sentence, "It's great to be alive today" to lengthen to 100 words or more. Groups of four worked tog ether to become familiar with the ornate language of colonial writers. In less than 20 minutes, Scott Downing '90, Shelley Binkley '90, and Jeremy Wenninghoff '90, had expanded the six word sentence into 218 words .

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

Six years of the same elective course would make most students shudder in horror, but four seniors finished their sixth year of French before they graduated. By the last day, the 1080th to be exact, in· structor L'louise Bow· man had the students reading novels, writing essays, and carrying on conversations with each other completely in French. After starting French in the seventh grade , Darren Deroos, Jeff Jensen, Stacey Saunders, and Kate Lindberg stuck with it for five more years to become bilingual. "PICK ANOTHER LETTER," says Gina Lewis as someone picks the wrong letter in Hangman during 7th period Latin class. The phrase spelled was Veni, Vedi, Vici which meant "We came, we saw, we conquered."

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

Forgotten friskets and darkroom disasters create challenges in ... • • es1gn1n //I think I'm going to die!" screamed Michel Wehrli '89, who had just finished a painting she had worked on for days. As she lifted it up, all the paint ran. She had forgotten to use a substance called frisket, lamination to help stop the running of paint. "It was terrible," Wehrli said. "I spent so much time on it, and within seconds, it was ruined. All I could do was scream, 'SOMEBODY HELP ME!'" Winning the battle over frisket was one of the many things graphics students attempted . /Jc an I move now?" Kristy Borwick '89, asked after sitting in the same position for 15 minutes . Borwick served as a model in Drawing and Painting class on Sept. 23. Students learned proper proportioning, correct shadowing, and contrast shading by drawing live models. "Drawing people isn't easy. Getting their bodies proportioned right is very difficult," said Michelle McEvoy '90. "You have to study them a long time before drawing." F eeling certain that her latest negatives would provide sharp, clear images, Keri Suden '90, grinned as she took the lid off of her developing canister. Confidently, she pulled the slippery strip toward her eyes. Suddenly, terror engulfed her face and an instant shriek of "Oh, No-o-!!" came from the darkroom as she realized she had just developed another darkroom disaster. Suden had expected to see images of student s playing volleyball, but instead, she saw total blankness. Mistakes in developing were present every day in 7th hour photography class. "I must've gotten the solutions mixed up," said Su den. "I could have screamed because I was so sure the negatives would be perfect." G iven a mound of clay and told to form a mold by the end of the period, J.J.

" I thought I'd never be able to duplicate an imagined face I had drawn," said Sholtz, " but I gave it my best shot, and the mold looked like the picture." ... . ,·I .. .o • .: '· 0 ' .

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

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

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

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

While the choirs gained recognition as groups, seven individuals, Doug Hoover '89, Chuck Stahl '89, Travis Walker '89, Joy Andrew '90, Juli Neff '90, Tena Nelson '90, and Kim Will '90, made All-State Choir. Silence filled the auditorium in Ames as the 600 members of the Allstate Choir readied themselves for the performance they'd been anticipating. "It was the absolute neatest feeling being a part of that group," said Kim Will '90. " It's the ultimate experience because you're singing with the best of the best." - Ericka Wellman THAT'LL DO IT.

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

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

Craziness such as this constantly appeared inside and out of the yearbook room , where staffers found themselves doing anything to escape the frustrations of the Pub. "It was getting so hectic up there, we had to get away and go to our second shelter, TCBY," said Foss. " On our way there, we decided to ease the tension by staging a fight on Broadway. "I was behind Robb in my car, and I started honking like crazy . He stopped in the middle of the street, and we both got out and started fakefighting. It was hilarious because all the other cars just stopped and stared at us." Another way to escape the tension in Room 234 was to hide out with photographers. "I didn't feel inspired when I was near the other writers ," said Rachelle Hill '91 , "so I trekked to the darkroom, where I knew I wasn't supposed to be." Even though the crazy times were a necessary part of a work night, many staffers agreed that they contributed to increasing procrastination as the year progressed. "This year was a lot different from last year because it seemed like the " NOT AGAIN!" While getting advice from adviser Linda Smoley, Barb Roth sees a mistake in her academic clubs layout and finds out that she has to redo it for the third time. (Photo by Stacy Robicheau) staff didn't realize the importance of meeting deadl ines," said He idi Neighbors '90. " Our good times together all year ended up being a hindrance the last week of school and first week of summer when we had to spend every spare moment in the -Pub. "On the last day of school when we worked from 12 noon to two in the morning, the tension was so thick that everybody was snapping at each other, and at one point we all felt like crying." Three yearbookers escaped the frustrations of Room 234 when they went to a yearbook convention in New York in March. At the convention, the 1988 book, which had already won first place in the state and seven national Quill and Scroll awards, won 11 Gold Circle awards from Col umbia Scholastic Press Assoc iation and a Silver Crown. "We were disappointed to receive only a Silver Crown," said adviser Linda Smoley. "The staff thought it was one of the best books we had ever done, so they were expecting a Gold Crown." The staff didn't let the disappointment get them down, though. On the next Monday and Wednesday worknights, they piled into someone's car, headed for TCBY, and let a few crazy times relieve them of their frustrations. - Lori Paulsen Yearbook 115 Speakers, debaters, and 'insiders' have fun, work hard, and gain success WEET TAL A fter suffering through four hours of competition and narrowly missing quarterfinals at the Bryan High School debate tournament, Lynx debaters finally found a way to have some fun. "One team had made it to quarterfinals and the rest of us were waiting in a big open area," said Chris Brewer '90. "Somebody had a powerball and we started to play with it. Before too long, we had a game going where we'd bounce the ball and whoever caught it got a point. " We were running around trashing other people's stuff, being really obnoxious. We all.had our dress clothes and shoes on, so we kept falling down. Then Chris Marsh stepped on the ball and it exploded into a million little pieces." Although they always had time for fun, the speakers and debaters also had to work hard to win a total of 23 trophies throughout the season. Even before the school year began, juniors Dustin Putnam, Scott Downing, Brewer, and Jon Hensley and senior Chris Marsh spent two weeks in July at the Baylor University Debate Institute in Waco, TX. " I worked harder at debate camp than I'd ever worked in my life. There was hardly any time to spend outside, or any time for fun," said Putnam. " For almost the entire two weeks we had to get up at eight o'clock for breakfast. We spent almost the whole day either in the library or in the dorm room, sorting through and organizing the research. "Between doing this, we would have lectures and practice debates. By the time we got to bed, it was usually two in the morning." Luck also played a part in success 116 Organizations during the year. When Mike Cooper '89 went to Districts in Fort Dodge in February he hadn't been to a tournament all year and had practiced only twice. Yet he won first place in extemporaneous speaking and qualified to go to Nationals in Golden, cp in June. "It was unnerving competing against people who had been speaking all year," Cooper said. "I went in saying that I was going to do the best I could and if I won, that would be great, but if not the sun would still come up tomorrow. By the final round, I knew I was doing well, but I didn't know how well." The Advanced Speech class was also successful producing the AL Insider for the second year, which was broadcast monthly on the Council Bluffs Schools' own station, Channel 35. " We've made a lot of improvements," said Andrea Rocheleau '90. " At the beginning of the year we were all still a little unsure about how to do the show. We had a lot of problems with editing and we even ended up having to tape a lot of shows over. " But when Todd Clark, who worked at Channel 17 and had access to editing equipment, joined the staff, it was like having our own television program." Overall, the speech and debate team and AL Insider staff combined fun and hard work to achieve impressive results. - Scott Downing AL INSIDER.

Service clubs attend retreats, aid community, and plan dances ELPIN'OU W hen Lori French '90, sprained her ankle and couldn't make it down the trail to a bon fire at the student council retreat, Dennis Kirlin 89, built a fire in the cabin so she and some others who stayed with her could roast marshmallows there. What Kirlin didn't know, however, was that all the vents in the cabin were closed, and soon the cabin would become so smokey that French would be forced down the trail on her hobbly ankle anyway. Unlike the group left behind in the cabin, service clubs didn't need a fire under them to get them going. Student council began the year's preparation during the retreat, where they selected " Excitable" as the theme for Homecoming. Once the theme was chosen, committees spent up to five hours a day ironing out last minute details during the week before Homecoming. One consisted of relocating coronation to the Mall of the Bluffs because C.B. field was damaged in a tornado and cars couldn't be driven on the St. Albert field. One difficulty in relocating was talking yearbook adviser Linda Smoley into allowing the yearbook signing party to be held in conjunction with the coronation. Traditionally, the yearbook staff had raised money by charging admission to the signing party. "We wanted to have the signing party with the coronation to ensure a lot of people would come, but you can't charge people to see their own coronation, so it was practically imMISSED A SPOT.

"After we talked to her about ten times, she finally agreed to it, providing that a portion of the proceeds of a raffle we were holding went to the yearbook fund." In November, the student council held a Christmas drive during which they collected money , food and clothes for the needy. Later, they held a drug conference with five other schools during which students discussed possible assemblies, anti drug propaganda, drug alternatives, and hotlines. The student council also sponsored blood drives in November and May, where approximately 180 pints of blood were donated. "It makes me feel good to see kids helping others, even if it means going through the pain of a needle," said student council member Melissa Timm '92. National Honor Society members also gave of themselves. Every morning, they made tutoring available to those who were referred by teachers and counselors as needing special help. "At first, it was hard to find time," said Andrea Ellingson '89, "but once we established a workable schedule, the tutoring went really well. It was all worth it when I could see a person really benefiting from my help." (continued on page 120) Service Clubs 119 Continued ELPIN'OU At Christmas, members worked together to make a great holiday for a needy family. They collected donations from students, adults, and local businesses and raised enough to buy food, clothes, and toys for the kids. "I wanted to help out," said Carolyn Widtfeldt '89, NHS member responsible for the idea to adopt a family. "So many of us take everything for granted. We expect our parents to provide for us and we don't think of other less fortunate people. I just thought we could give someone else a nice Christmas for a change." Foreign Exchange Club worked hard at Christmas too, creating Christmas Dance. To develop this year's theme, "Forever Young," members left crayons on the tables for scribbling and . decorated the picture ba~kgrc:..md with wooden blocks and dolls. "What I enjoyed most about decorating was painting the blocks for pictures," said Christy Walter '89. "We came to school dressed in good clothes because no one expected to paint. But by the time we were finished, we were covered with paint from head to toe. The blocks turned out great, though, and the work was KEY CLUB.

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

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

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

With the academic team doing so well, Brain Bowl members hoped to do well in their KMA Brain Bowl competition in Shenandoah, but on March 14, the team lost its two-year undefeated title to Atlantic. "The competition was much better than last year," said Abby Wilmarth '89. "The other teams were more prepared for the competition than we were." The biggest problem the team faced was not being fast enough in answering the questions. "Each team is given a toss up question, and the first to answer it is then given a bonus question," said Wilmarth. "The team with the most points at the end of 20 minutes wins the round." Although the team's undefeated title was gone, members' spirits remained high. At the Peru State competition , the Brain Bowl came out with a 2-2 record with its only losses t o powerfu l Creighton Prep.

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

"Religion during school would be all right for some people, but it might just cause more problems because everyone has different beliefs. But I guess not everyone would have to take part in it." - Michelle Timm '89 "I don't believe that prayer should be held during school. I think if people want to pray, they should do it on their own Seniors Cross-Hatcher time . I also believe praying is something that people need to do by themselves." - Charity Midkiff '89 "I don't think students should be forced to pray and study religion at school , mainly because there are so many different ways people worship God.

A year later, George Bush asked in his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination, "Should public school teachers be required to lead children in the Pledge of Allegiance? My opponent says No. I say Yes." From that moment on, the Pledge became a campaign issue. " I don't think students should be forced to do the pledge because if they are, they are more likely to rebel against it. Then it would just become a bigger problem than Seniors MackaPearson it's worth. If students want to do the Pledge, I think they can do it outside of school." - Greg Musgrove '89 "I am all for the Pledge of Allegiance.

In some larger cities, birth control devices were distributed at school to curb teen pregnancy. "I believe it is stupid to distribute birth control unless sex ed. is required. There are things people should realize before getting condoms." Mike Moats '89 "I think distributing birth control is wrong because the church I go to stresses abstinence, and I think giving out contraceptives would be saying it's okay to have sex." "At the other two schools I've been to, sex education was required . It opened the eyes of those who weren't taught by parents.

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

Or of going shopping with $10 and coming ho-me with $50 worth of merchandise? Some students actually made these dreams a reality. From shopping at Goodwill to making their own , students found neat clothes without paying department store prices. Some found shopping at Goodwill well worth their while.

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

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

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

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

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

In a poll of 200 students, 28 said they'd fought at school. Of those 28, 24 had been caught and punished. Most students said the reason they fought was to defend themselves. "The girl I fought was always bugging me," said Tuesday Edenburn '91. ''When she finally started the fight, I had to fight back." Whether students picked the fight or just defended themselves, they received a three day suspension. "I started the fight, and even though it was my first one, I still got a three-day suspension," said Joel Anderson '91 . "I don't think it was worth it.'' Because of the strict punishment, many students held their anger and fought down at Valley View park. '- " I didn't want to risk getting caught, so I fought at the park," said Jason Gearh art ' 91 . "After we decided to fight, I was amazed how quickly the news spread . There were at least 100 peopl e watching."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For the first time ever, males joined cheerleading squads. "The guys really helped a lot at camp," said Michelle McEvoy '90. "We got a lot of recognition because we learned so many neat stunts." After an unsuccessful attempt 4 Opening a t a student directed play three years ago, instructor Stephen Brockway bet on his talented students aga in.

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

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

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

It was Prehistoric Day, and some students were creative enough to use doggie treat bones as hair accessories and lead dinosaur skeletons on leashes around the halls. It became obvious that anything could happen during this Homecoming. - The four dress up days, which centered around the theme, Let The Good . Times Roll, sent stude.nts searching for crazy get-ups rangmg from l 960's hippy garb to Greek togas. "There were so many people who dressed up," said Mindy Romans '93. "I thought I'd feel self-c~nscious, but after I saw everyone with strange outfits on, I didn't feel so bad." . For some, dress up days were irritating as well as fun .

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

This was a typical scene in ·rooms all over the building from noon to 12:26 every day, during a new time slot dubbed the "activity Qeriod." Trouble was, there was almost never any activity going on.

In the first spirit contest, students created sheet sized banners for the AL- TeeJay football game. Instructor Linda Smoley's freshman homeroom won first place for its banner of a lynx head with a yellowjacket in its mouth. "I was skeptical about how it was going to turn out," said Dan Pertzborn '93, the artist. "When I found out we won, I felt great." When Homecoming rolled around, students built floats on toy wagons.

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

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

Homeroom students also carried boxes of food , clothes, and toys to school for the annual drive held by student council. Although school was out early, more than 3,500 items were picked up. Instructor Roger Kuhl's homeroom alone contributed 350 items to win the contest. "Everybody was excited to participate in the toys and clothes drive," said Ka ri Hannan '90.

"Coach Koch told us that we had nothing to lose, and if we played the game as planned, the score would be close," said Pat Gibson '91.

Like Gerhardt, 43 out of 53 students polled admitted to porking out on a regular basis, often surprising themselves at the quantities they were able to consume at one sitting. "Everyday at lunch I eat two sandwiches," said Clinton Johnson '92. "I have to eat that much to get full. The most I have ever eaten is a large pizza all by myself!"

While some students porked out just for the love of food, others said they porked out while partying with friends. ·"When I have friends over, my mom always shoves food at us, so it's really hard not to eat," said Jessica Goodman '92. "We end up constantly eating but not really paying attention to what or how much." For some, eating a certain food became more of a habit. "I have a can of pop and a candy bar in study hall at least four out of five days," said Janet Szemplenski '92. "Sometimes I feel like that's the only reason I have study hall!" Christina McManus '92, became used to going out every Friday night after games for pizza. A third of those polled said they often ate because they were bored or depressed. FORGET THE CHOPSTICKS!

Those with a spirit of daring and adventure also enjoyed teepeeing expeditions. "I like teepeeing because of the risk of getting caught or busted by the cops," said Todd Cover '92. Although most parties lacked the excitement of a teepeeing escapade, a night in the cemetery, or a stroll on a catwalk, they remained the main attraction of nightlife. Sixty one out of 65 students polled said they frequently attended parties. Some party organizers even went out of their way to dream up once-ina-lifetime activities for guests.

Some people might even call them gaudy. I have several big hats that nobody else would ever wear, but I feel comfortable in them because they look good on me." To create their wild wardrobes, students headed as close as the mall and as far away as Regency Court. "I like some of the baggy pants a nd shirts in the Limited Express," said Comley.

That way, I can create a new style that is original and reflects me. I have these black socks with little green sparkling things on them. I wear them with my black high-tops.

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

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

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

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

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

And Hannan saddened graduates when she reminded them of the tough times they had overcome, including the deaths of classmates Randy Geoser, Michael Stone, and Lonnie Greiner. Finally, it was time for the Class of 1990 to come forward one by one to receive their diplomas. Most graduates accepted their diploma with decorum, but a few found it impossible to hold their emotions in check. Seniors Tim Hawkins, Rob Heitman, and Jim Bever drew laughter and applause when they threw their arms into the air, hollering in congratulations to themselves. As the last graduate received his diploma, a beach ball came flying through the air, followed by stream after stream of party string swirling throughout the gym.

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

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

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

Dangers of AIDS E xpectantly, students filed into the auditorium to see the dying AIDS victim who was about to speak to them. They weren't prepared, though, to see the young, attractive woman who claimed to have the deadly disease. The victim, Penny Franks, came after Echoes reporter, Molly Spann, attended a Red Cross AIDS seminar in Omaha and suggested an assembly on the subject to Vice Principal Fred Maher. "The speakers at the Red Cross meeting made me realize that AIDS is a problem in the Midwest and one of the biggest age groups affected by the disease is a round our age," said Spann. " I had heard about AIDS from a lot of different places, but we had never talked about it at school. I thought it was really important for the students who didn't know about AIDS to get informed. I wanted to make them see that AIDS is out there, and I wanted to scare them into protecting themselves." Franks wanted more to educate students than to scare them. "I want kids to be aware of the fact that AIDS is not a segregated disease and because it's not, it is more important than ever today to protect ourselves, " said Franks. She emphasized this point by telling her own tragic story about how she contracted AIDS almost ten years ago through emergency blood transfusions during her son's cesarean birth. Although some students still felt AIDS wasn't a disease that could affect them, most admitted that aftet hearing Franks's story, they felt threatened by the disease. One of the scariest facts was stated during the freshmen assemGETTING THE FACTS.

It's scary to think someone in this school could have AIDS," said Deborah Hogan '91. "We take our health for granted. Most of us just assume we don't have it or won't get it, so we tend to be more careless than we should be. I think that seeing someone who led a perfectly normal life standing before us claiming to have AIDS has made people realize that it can happen to anyone." Some felt this realization made people think twice about unsafe sex and even change their sexual behavior. "I think Franks's story made people consider using condoms or not having sex at all because of the threat of AIDS," said Melissa Timm '92. Still others said that even after hearing Franks's story, they had no reason to worry about AIDS. "I don't worry about getting AIDS," said Amy Negrete '92, " because I know I would never have sex with someone unless I knew them and what kind of person they were very, very well." No matter how students planned to protect themselves from AIDS, most agreed that AIDS was a threat they needed to be awa re of, and they were grateful to Franks for sharing her story. " I have a lot of respect for Ms. Franks because it really took a lot of courage to stand in front of a group of teenagers and talk about her problem for our benefit," said Nate Whitaker '93 . Franks felt that visiting high schools was the best way to educate teenagers. "If I can make just one person realize the seriousness of AIDS and protect themselves from it," sa id Franks, " all my efforts will be worthwhile." -Melody Barajas Mini Gazette 45 46 • • • u on a 0 nee upon a time, students sat passively in. their seats taking notes while teachers stood before them spouting facts. In 1990, students became active participants in learning. Through a technique called the Utah Plan, teachers followed carefully outlined procedures to get at least 12 student responses every 60 seconds. "I space off lectures, but this method forces me to participate," said Mindy Patten '93. "It is a change of pace." Once upon a time, it was acceptable to learn a body of information to pass a course, but as the information known to man began to double every eighteen months, students had to learn to find and manage information. To help them, teachers attended biweekly in-services on how to teach thinking skills. Once upon a time, computer training consisted of keyboardAcademic Division ing, but in 1989, students performed complicated tasks on screen. Student journalists created the newspaper on computer and economics students ran fac~ tori es. Three of these students won first place in an economic simulation at Creighton. "We were pleased to place at all," said Brian Swartz '91, "and we were the first public school ever to win the whole competi- tion." Once upon a time, students worked individually on assignments, but as business people told schools that workers rarely ?olve pr~blems alone, cooperative learnmg became important. Little revolutions occurred throughout the building as teachers and students replaced once-upon-a-time behaviors with new ways of teaching and learnmg. -Ericka Wellman R OMEO! ROMEO!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"One week we'd make vegetables, and the next we'd make meats. Everyone in the group had to cooperate. a~d do their part so we could get it done within the hour."

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

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

(Photo by Kristi Kuper) Organization Division 65 66 OOKWHO'S From cooking ~~ chaos to five-foot fall, student council members do it all S team rose in the shower room, a door slammed, and feet pitter pattered across the floor. Chris Sorensen '90, and Tyler Woods '92, took a quick look around the corner and saw their clothes and towels, with the help of a few student council members, running out the door. "At first we did a lot of screaming for someone to bring us something to put on," said Sorensen. "Pretty soon after that, some of the guys brought us two very small dishtowels to cover ourselves with and informed us that our undergarments were flying half-mast." Playing practical jokes helped student council members relax during their fall retreat at Camp Neyati. Members participated in leadership workshops, listened to guest speakers, discussed student issues, and planned the year's student activities. As Dustin Putnam '90, lay on the gym floor, he saw only vague patterns of light and blurred images. He felt the presence of people standing over him, but he had no idea of what was going on. Although the scenario sounds like an out-of-body experience, that was actually how Putnam felt when he woke up after fainting at the student council blood drive. "The first thing I remember when I woke up was having a chocolate chip cookie in my mouth and the nurse telling me to spit it out," said Putnam. "Instead of spitting it out, though, I started chewing it. Then the nurse yelled, 'Either swallow it or spit it out, one of the two.' It upset me that the first thing I heard after regaining consciousness was some woman in white screaming at me." Putnam was one of many students who gave blood for the Red Cross. This year's drive turned out more donors than in past years. In fact, workers had to turn some away after the limit of blood was collected. F aint voices filled the dark gym as Ricco Siasoco '90, walked up the stairs to the stage to announce the Homecoming royalty. Little did he know the D.J. had detached the stairs from the stage, and Siasoco ended up walking right off the top of them and fa lling to the ground below. "Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something falling by the stage," said Ericka Wellman '9 1. "I looked over and saw Ricco sprawled on the floor. At first, he looked like he was in pain, but then I saw him check to see if anyone witnessed his accident. I felt really sorry for him, but I couldn't offer help, laughing as hard as I was." Despite little incidents like Siasoco's five-foot fall, this year's Homecoming Dance was more successful than previous years. Student council members earned $2600 with more than 500 students attending. Organizations WORKING HARD.

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

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

(Photo by Kathy Westphal) HANGING Musicians ~~ use laughter to cope with change in director, stiff competition I t was at least 98 degrees in the band room. Clad in shorts and tank tops, musicians felt their sweaty legs stick to their chairs. Expectantly, all eyes stared at the d0or. Finally, dressed in a suit and tie, a young man in his 20's strolled through the door and addressed the group. " I'm Mark Mendell, your new director," he said. "I'm proud to be here, but this year's going to be different. I want to improve the program with some changes." Soon, band members would begin to disagree about the changes he made, which included splitting the pep band in two, dropping last year's soft, mellow music for a more up beat sound, and requiring the band to attend stiffer competition. " I think the changes we made were for the better," said Andy Caputo '90. "We needed to expand and experience new things, and Mendell made sure we did:" But some felt Mendell's changes were made without band members' input. " I suppose you need change, but he made too many too soon," said Barb Wehrmacher '92. "A lot of band members said they didn't have as much fun this year and are dropping. I don't think he realizes that." Band members stood on the Glenwood field, fidgeting with their hats, and shifting from one foot to another. They held their breath, waiting for a voice to come over the loudspeaker. When the announcer's voice said, "Abraham Lincoln, Rating I," excited musicians jumped up and down, screamed, and hugged each other. "It was so great," said Theresa Frieze '92. "We knew we could get a Division I rating, but the best thing was beating Tee Jay. We didn't beat them last year, so it was one of our major goals." The Glenwood contest was the culmination of 11 weeks of getting up at the crack of dawn, rushing to school, and marching on a cold, muddy field for an hour and a half every morning. 0 h, my God!" squealed Megan Caputo '92, so loudly that all 150 people crammed into the gym at the Bellevue East Jazz Band Competition turned to look at her. "When I heard the announcer say Westside got a Division II rating, I knew we had first," said Caputo. "They're our main competitors and I just got so excited when I knew we'd beaten them, I had to scream." When jazz band members heard they had gotten ·first, they jumped out of their seats, screaming in relief. According to Cory Powers '90, Bellevue competition is comparable to a district tournament for a sport. "We wanted State so badly," said Amy Ander on '92. "We worked really hard and went there with State in our minds, knowing we were good enough to get it." Band 75 HANGING ~~ Continued L oaded down with pop, chips, and boomboxes, I 00 band members piled onto three buses for the trip to Ankeny, where they would be the only band from southwest Iowa to compete. An hour later the musicians were laughing, singing, dancing, or sleeping, when all of the sudden, the bus swerved off the road. "It was so weird. Everything was fine. Then the bus just went zooming off the road," said Julie Stueve '92. "The only amusing thing was seeing everyone's face, but I bet mine was pretty white too." When the band members finally reached Ankeny and saw the huge 400 member competing bands and the large crowd, many of their faces turned white again. They got so nervous some could hardy play. One girl almost passed out. " I think a combination of things made me so nervous," said Jenni Miller '92. "The crowd was so huge and intimidating. Also, I hadn't eaten all day." The band placed sixth out of six bands, but members hoped to improve as a result of tough competition. The red, white, and blue flag flew through the air and landed perfectly in the hands of Heather Ellingsen '92. As she went for her quarter turn, her hands were positioned just right, and her hopes were high, but the twirl was stopped when her flag pole hit a judge on the head. Ellingsen gritted her teeth and felt her eyes begin to water as she tried to keep a straight face. " It was so hard not to just bend over and start laughing," she said. . The accident wasn't a disaster, though, for m marching band competition, as long as the performers do not move out of the way and break form, hitting a judge can actually improve a band's score. In this case, the accident resulted in a lucky 50 points at State Band Competition and made color guard members smile all the way to the bus. 0 rchestra members dragged their tired bodies into Kentucky Fried Chicken during their break from all day practice at Beatrice. Jenni Miller '92, was throwing chicken nuggets across the room, trying to get them into freshman Sid Bos's mouth. When she dipped one in honey and tried to throw it, it landed in senior Nathan Klaus's hair. "I wanted to get even, so I hid on the bus," said Klaus. "Even though she hid in the luggage rack, Jeff Farber grabbed her, and I poured honey all over her." Such crazy antics didn't keep the young orchestra, which contained only three seniors, from sending 24 people to State and playing accompaniment for The Sound of Music. -Kelli Smith 76 ,) Organizations MUSIC MAN.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Porn Pon 93 94 • • 0 nee is never enough . . . At least it wasn't for AL athletes. Reaching within one game of State for the first time in nine years, the baseball team claimed 29 victories in all. "In the District final we were tied in the sixth, and I was up," said Ryan Meis '91. "I got on first, stole second, then scored on a wild pitch, and we won. Our work finally paid off. " With 21 wins and 2 losses, the girls' basketball team won more games than any basketball team in AL's history. The Lady Lynx advanced to Substate, where Des Moines East upset them, 52-49. "The loss to East was a blow to us, but we were proud looking back on all we accomplished," said Cathy Ma uer '92. "We worked for every single victory." Aaron Thatcher '91 , captured Sports Division • success in the water, breaking school records and earning a third place finish in the 200m individual medley at State. "I felt great on the victory stand with the medal around my neck hearing everybody cheer for me," said Thatcher. "I was ecstatic with my finish." Seven wrestlers traveled to the state tournament in February. Although not all of them placed at State, two grapplers, Darren Coppock '92 and Walt Furler '90, earned third place honors. "I was nervous before my first match," said Coppock, "but once I got on the mat, I was ready to win. It was a great feeling to pin my man in just 19 seconds." Most Lynx athletes found the thrill of one victory was never enough to satisfy them. -Ericka Wellman D EFENSE!

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

(Photo by Keleigh Scherzinger) Although the Lynx beat the Raiders, they fell, 9- 4, to Fort Dodge at Substate, downing all hopes of a berth to State and ending their season with a 29- 15 record. "The loss to Ford Dodge was a complete shock. We really felt we could win," said Graham. "Everyone was tense and played timidly, but we had to be proud of such a successful season." Unlike the baseball team, softball players ended their season with a disappointing record of 3-30. Inexperienced pitching played a big part in the girls' inability to play consistently. "Our coach had a lot of people pitching at the start of the season, so no one was ever really sure of what position they'd be playing," said Krissa Rossbund '92. Though their record didn't prove it, under the instruction of first year Coach Sharon Hof man, the girls showed some promising talent. Senior Kelsy Coppock was named to the All-City team, while Kendra Cory and Cathy Mauer earned honorable mentions. Despite inexperience and tough breaks the baseball and softball teams found they could 'have winning seasons no matter what their records. -Heidi Neighbors STRIKE THREE?!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The biggest highlight of the season came when the team qualified for State, taking second place honors at Districts May 18. A week later on May 26, five anxious golfers and their families formed a caravan to the state meet, a trip that hadn't been made in nearly 20 years. "At the beginning of the season, we didn't really think we had a chance at State," said Nate Jungman '90. "But after our first match, we knew it was a possibility. No one ever came out and said it was in the bag, but I think deep down inside, we all knew we had it in us." Earning the trip to State was no small task for ---00 the boys, though.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I got suspended for three days just because I wanted to keep my friends' cars from being towed." (Photo by Kristi Kuper) S OMETHNG'S FISHY .. . Gawking in disbelief, Russel Borwick, Tori Christie, David Gaupp, Jeremy Gillette, and Ryan Olson look at the 22 goldfish in the bed of instructor Ron Lakatos' truck. The fish were put in the truck by instructor Mike Tripp and several students as a prank. "We left Mr. Lakatos' class fourth hour so we could see his expression when he went outside," said Borwick. "He thought it was as funny as we did. We teased him the rest of the day." (Photo by Kristi Kuper) H OMEMADE HOMEWORK. During second hour honors English, Nikki Johnson and Melissa Feller taste their final project made of brownies and other candies. Students were required to do a project on As I Lay Dying, a book they had read in class. Felix and Johnson constructed a scene from the book to convey its theme. "It took me almost to hours altogether to finish the project, but it was worth it to see it finally done," said Johnson. (Photo by Kathy Westphal) Closing L OVER'S QUARREL. Angel Walker and Cory Rowers perform a scene from The Fantastiks. Both Walker and Powers had lead roles since the play was double cast. "I was really excited to get a lead because I'm only a freshman," said Walker. "At the beginning I was n·ervous, but once we got rehearsals going, I felt much more confident."

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

The prom committee rented costumes ranging from $45 to $100 for the sophomore servers to wear, which went with the theme, "The Sea of Love." "At first, I felt stupid," said Wheeldon. "But then I started harassing people because they couldn't see me inside the costume." (Photo by Melody Jaco) Closing II Jar problems and looked forward to a total restructuring of AL by 1992. As the year ended, it was easy to see that students and teachers alike prided themselves in their try-anything-once spirit. Trying things became a ritual for the drama department. After producing two student-directed plays, a musical, and the Follies, drama students put on yet another musical, the Fantastiks, in May. "We kept bugging Mr. Brockway to let us do another musical even though we didn't have much time," sa id Tena N elson '90. "Finally, he told us we had enough ta lent to pull it off, so we might as well give it a shot. " Taking cha nces didn't stop in the a uditorium though. It spread into the hallways in March when more than 200 students staged a sit-in in front of the office after the administration canceled the 26-minute homeroom period. "Some people said we were out of line by planting ourselves in the hall," said Michelle Price '91. "I think we were well within our rights. I think the administration finally realized we were ready to be an active part of the school." One week later, Principal Fred Frick told the faculty that homeroom would be reinstated due to student demand. From the parking lot, to the hallways, to the stage, 1990 proved to be the year we'd try anything once. -Ericka Wellman s IEZE THE DAY!
