Quite a few students belong to clubs, are out for sports, or are involved in volunteer work. But for others, this isn't enough. These people have decided that they need jobs to keep them happy. At some time, it has probably crossed most high school students' minds to go out and get a job. Most teenagers like to feel independent and in control of their lives. Being able to earn and budget their own money helps kids to feel this way. It is a lot nicer to say that you bought something with your own money than to have parents buy it for you. Shelly Christensen has worked at Thumb's restaurant for about a year. When she started, she bussed tables. Since then, she has become a hostess and she waits tables on Saturdays.

The team started off the year by winning their own Underwood Invitational. From there the team had its high points along with its low points. They finished out the season with an 11-12 record. But don't let their record mislead you, because the team never gave up. The biggest accomplishment for the Eagles was a third place finish at the conference tournament. Two players received all-conference honors. Jeff Dawson was selected to the first-team , wh ile Greg Childs was a second-team pick. Other honors went to: Cliff Hildreth, team MVP; Jason Lloyd, Rookie-of-theYear; Mike Dose, Most-Improved; and Roy Sharrett, Defensive-Player-of-the-Year. Only three players were lost to graduation this year. But better yet, seven of the team's nine starters will be returning next year. Coach Pat Paul has very high expectations for next year's team. The team members also are expecting a great season so this could be the year for Underwood baseball to win it all. 49 �UHS First Row: Beth Royer, E'Lise Hiller, Jamie Hansen, Pam Hildreth, Susan Young.

They jumped off to an incredible start of 7 wins and O losses. But just when things were looking up, injuries struck the team. They had a mid-season slump, but came on very strong to end the season. They finished with an overall record of 14-15. The Eagles had their share of highlights for the year. Probably the biggest was a second place finish at the conference tournament. They also placed second at the Eagle Invitational. A third place finish at the Treynor Tourney was very impressive. But what was more impressive was when they shut out A.L. in the consolation game. Vicky Geise, Lisa Bandy, and Michelle Hough each received second team all-conference honors. Beth Royer was the team's MVP and Carrie Walker was the Rookieof-the-Year. Outstanding offensive player went to Victoria Garcia while defense went to Teresa McKern. With only one senior gone to graduation, the future looks very promising for the next year. The team should show a lot of hustle, as can be exemplified by the picture at the right where Carrie Walker beats out a grounder to first. 50 �SOFTBALL TOP LEFT: Susan Young takes a strike.

Overall, they finished 3-6, but their record was misleading. The team had numerous first-team , second-team, and honorable-mention all-conference players. A couple of high points of the season were a homecoming victory over Shelby-Tennant and a victory over Treynor for the first time in 20 years. B A L L TOP: Running toward a victory.

Their overall varsity record was 12-7-1. They were 7-2, and finished third in conference play. The girls had some very different fans this year. They were known as the Underwood Volleyball Maniacs. The Maniacs saw some very impressive matches this year. One of the most exciting matches this year was when Underwood squared off against Tri-Center in round two of the Conference Tournament. T-C was top-ranked while Underwood was third-ranked. Underwood defeated T-C and went on to finish second in the WIC Tournament. Brenda Obrecht and Vicky Geise each received first-team all-conference honors, Lisa Bandy was on the second-team. Vicky also received all-state honorable mention. Four seniors were lost to graduation this year. Though they were not many in numbers, their talents were exceptional. They will be missed next year.

I This year's boys' basketball team experienced their share of ups and downs. Though their record may not have shown it, the boys season ended up fairly well. They had a lot of games which were very close and could have gone either way. Each practice the boys tried their hardest to improve and perfect thei r plays. Their motto for the year was " Do It Right. " The Eagles will lose eight seniors to graduation this year. But with four returning lettermen, the future looks good for the Eagles next fall.

The team complied an 11-10 record for the season. Two Underwood players were selected to the first team all-conference. Lisa Bandy was a first team forward pick while Vicky Geise was a first team guard selection. The Eagles will lose three seniors to graduation. Though they were small in quantity, the seniors were very large in quality. New head coach Fred Nelson said he was very proud of this year's girls' team. Though their size was relatively small, they were very large in heart. He also said he expected next year's team to have a fairly successful year. 61 �'~rnwo n ~~rs1' ~r FIRST ROW: Bruce Obrecht, Mike Martin, Craig Jensen, Mike Dose, Eddie Lee, Jason Hough.SECOND ROW: Sean Kennedy, Brett Ryan, Kevi n Young, Randy Pitt, Cliff Hildreth, Mike Baumfalk . The 1985-86 wrestling team enjoyed tremendous success. Coach Jerry Anderson said, at the Winter Athletic Banquet, that this team was the best team he had ever coached at Underwood. They finished with a dual record of 8-2. They placed third in the conference tournament, finished second at districts, and finished twenty-eighth at state. Three wrestlers qualified for the state meet. They were Eddie Lee, Bruce Obrecht, and Mike Dose. Eddie and Bruce both took first place in the district tournament while Mike took second. This year's squad will only lose three members to graduation. They are Mike Baumfalk, Mike Dose, and Cliff Hildreth. These three members each showed great strength in wrestling and they will be greatly missed. With the loss of only three seniors and two returning state qualifiers, next year's Underwood Wrestling Squad looks to have a bright future.

She was a very energetic person who was always smiling and was very well-liked by everyone. Becky was a person who received much of what life has to offer. She was good-looking , intelligent, and talented. She was involved in cheerleading , art, National Honor Society, homecoming court, cross country, track, and volleyball. The emptiness that is left will never be filled , but she will remain alive in our hearts forever.

TO PRESCOTT ''THE BED'' - lVHAT A YEAR!! ��20 �I' FALL '85 LET THE CBUISIN BEGIN! 21 �FOOTBALL '85: State Playoffs The Tri-Center Trojan Football team enjoyed their finest season ever, going undefeated in the regular season, and winning the Western Iowa Conference. The success of the Trojans in 1985, could be attributed to overall team balance and excellent teamwork. After a narrow 3-0 victory over a rebuilding Oakland squad, many wondered if this year's team would live up to it's high pre-season expectations. However under Coach Schelling's leadership, the squad continued to improve with each game. After a 31-18 homecoming victory over a tough Missouri Valley team, the Trojans were definitely a force to be reckoned with. The winning streak reached seven, and there was talk of a playoff berth if they could beat an excellent 6-1 Griswold team. In what many feel was the most exciting game in Trojan history, Tri-Center completed an amazing 8-0 regular season with a come-from-behind 26-25 win over the Tigers. Trailing late in the third quarter, TC pulled together and struck for three late touchdowns on long passes. A stiffining defense shut down the Tigers in the final m inutes, and the celebration was on. Below: Tenacious defen se stops the Big Reds of Mo Va lley. A season-ending loss to archrival St. Albert in the state playoffs was disappointi ng, especially si nce TC dominated the firs t quarter, whi le missing two excellent scoring opportunities. A 20-3 loss could not diminish the Trojan s accomplishments, however. �Undefeated Begular Season For the season, Kevin White completed 77 passes in 142 attempts for 989 yards and 7 touchdowns. The rushing department was led by Brian Witt with 496 yards, followed closely by Scott Krumwiede with 492 yards, and Brian Flemming churning out 423 yards . Opposing defenses could never key on one person, because any of the three was capable of breaking a long one. Receiving leaders were Craig Larsen with 22 recep- tions for 279 yards, Brian Witt with 10 for 194, Mike Minehart had 10 for 148, and Scott Krumwiede with 7 for 132. Leading the defense were linebackers Scott Krumwiede and Brian Flemming. They finished 1-2 in tackles, with Krumwiede having 119 and Flemming close behind with 106. The seniors provided great leadership and will be missed, but TC pride has been installed, hopefully, for many years to come.

In a Model A n o less! Follow her short adventure as s he does indeed go 'back in time' to the Roaring Twenties. Unfortunately, the Keystone Kops don' t live where Mr. Chaplin has parked hi s vehicle. After a terribly rude altercation with the law, Material Girl and Mr. Chaplin just barely excape into the 40's. Through their tour of the 40's and 60's, they meet a female tap dancing ensemble, wild kids in hot rods and surfers USA. As they work their way back to the 80's, we witness a very ambitious dance to Footloose. BACK TO THE FUTURE concludes with the entire ensemble on floor dancing to our title tune, ' Material Girl'. Tunes from the show include: Material Girl, Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, I Ge t Around, Barbara Ann, Surfin' USA and Footloose."

The week started with Monday being senior citizen's day and everyone dressed in wigs, glasses and carrying canes. Tuesday the halls rock 'n rolled with poodle skirts, greased hair, white T-shirts and leather jackets. Also on Tuesday, the candidates and some teachers were sold at -the slave auction. On Wednesday, the halls were filled with Hawaiian ·shorts, cameras, binoculars, sunglasses and maps, where everyone tried to imitate their idea of a tourist. Thursday everyone looked pretty "normal" wearing concert or team T-shirts, with the exception of the 16 candidates and a few selected teachers who had been bought as slaves. These selected "suckers" were to perform many crazy tasks demanded by their owners. On Friday, the colors black and gold lit the hallways; and that afternoon people were given the chance to show talent and skill at Collossus. As in the previous year, Prescott Productions stole the show. The final standings were: 1st-Juniors; 2nd-Sop~omore s ; 3rdSeniors; 4th-Freshmen. That night on the football field the Trojans walked away with a victory from the Mo-Valley Big Reds, 31-18. Saturday night, Mr. Hilligas and crew turned the gym into a lighted stage. The candidates put on a show unlike anything done at T-C before. T he show consisted of a video of the candidates, fl ash explosions, dancing and modern mus ic. After a performance and introduction of the candidates the King and Queen were crowned. Following coronation, the band Prairie Fire played for the tradit io nal H o mecoming D ance. A special " thanks" to each -. of the Homecoming sponsors: Jo Kossow; Bob Johnson; Bob Hilligas. �Tim Hough Rick Huebner Susan Kay Rebecca Kiernan Jeff Killpack Keri KillpacK 1985 HOMECOMING COURT �Bill Kuhfahl Monica Langin Craig Larsen Christine Lee Jenny Martens Kelly McDonald Barbara McDermott Mike Minehart Bill McDonald Jeff Nelson �FAST TIMES AT TBI-CENTEB HIGH Billy-bob and Jim Ackland host " Homecoming at th e lmprov" in their ''Flashy" uniform s.

Brian Witt led the pitching staff wi th a 10-1 record and a 2.08 ERA, followed by Matt Brooke's 8-2 with a 2.68 ERA, and Scott Krumwiede's 5-2 and 2.33 ERA. 104 ��Girls finish 16th in STATE Even though the Trojanettes lost 4 games at State, they were very close in all but one game. They lost their first game to Des Moine Lincoln 2-0; the second to Boone 3-2, in extra innings; the third to St. Mary's (Remsen) 5-0; and the last to Hubbard 2-1. The Trojanettes finished the season at 30-11 . However, the remarkable thing to remember, is that the girls qualified for State in 3 major and one minor team sports. Congratulations Coaches!!! �B oy's STATE Class 2A Bunner-Up Steven Divin; Steve Krumwiede; Kevin lVhite make All-Tournement Team Down 8-4 in the opening game at State against North Tama, Krumwiede hit a 370foot home run to ignite a 3run rally in the 6th. After adding 3 more runs in the top of the 7th, Witt relieved Krum and with bases loaded and one run in, got a strikeout and fl ball to end the game at 10-9. T-C was in the finals!! Giving up 16 walks (8 scored) proved costly as the Trojans dropped a 16-4 contest to Kee (Lansing). Although trailing only 5-4 in the 5th , a seven run inning clinched the victory for Kee. The Trojans finished the season at 28-6.

Some of summer's hot days could have been spent lounging in the sun in Florida or Hawaii. Beth Eickholt '86, vacationed to Florida and Howard Cronk '86, traveled to Hawaii. "It was the best vacation I ever had, we visited New Orleans and saw Disney World in Orlando," said Beth. "Epcot center was one of the most interesting things I saw." "In Hawaii I went surfing, boogie boarding, and wind surfing." said Howard. Some students ventured far on their vacations, while some stayed a little closer to home. "We went camping in the Badlands in South Dakota and it was great," said Darrel Woundedshield '87. Science teacher Cathy Crowl's vacation was a vacation to dream about, she traveled to Japan not only to visit her brother, but also to view the Japanese culture. "I went with my sister to see my brother who lives there. I had an opportunity to go so I went,'' said Miss Crowl. "We spent a week in Tokyo. There were a lot of people everywhere and they all had black hair," said Miss Crowl. Seaweed, octopus, raw horse meat, and deep fried crabs were some of the meals the Japanese enjoy, according to Miss Crowl. "The neatest experience I had in Japan was when I stayed with a Japanese family. We slept on mats on the floor and even ate with chopsticks,'' said Miss Crowl. Some students spent their s ummer fishing or skiing, whether it was the lakes of Canada or the lakes of Minnesota. "It's really boring in Canada if you don't fish ,'' said Traci Hogueison '87. "The funnest thing about going to Clitheral Lake in Minnesota, is that I got to water s ki and fis h,'' said Melissa Higginbotham '87. There a re a lot of students who went to parks s uch as Worlds of Fun, Ad ventu re Land or Silver Dollar City. "The neatest thing that I saw on the way to Silver Dollar City in Arkansas, was the red rock," s aid Becky Reed '87. Summer vacation soon ended a nd the new s chool year began. Summer was a blast, but I guess you ha d to be there. Copy and pages by Linda Brown 2 Summer Vd<. dtiom, Summer V acations 3 GUESS YOU HAD TO I t's hard to describe exactly what Tee Jay was like. I guess it was just all part of being here. The saying "I guess you had to be there-'' was commonly heard around Tee J ay. It meant the situation was hard to understand unless you were there to get in on it. Sure it was easy to gather bits and pieces and guess what it was like at Tee Jay, but that couldn't even begin to set the scene. You really needed to experience running across the tracks in gym s horts in the dead of winter. You had to be here to know what it was like in the crowded halls. Or those times we had to wait for a train to pass before we could cross to the parking lot or gym/music complex. These we re things that needed to be seen and experienced. · This phrase didn't just apply to Tee Jay. It was often heard by students that came to s chool on Monday and tried to explain an experie nce they had ove r t he weekend. Afte r they received a blank face as a response they gave up des cribing it by saying, "I guess you had to be the re. " Some might say tha t the '85-'86 year at Tee Jay was bo ring. Adjusting to change with the new facilities at the beginning of the year slowed us down. With the loss of Mini courses and new test scheduling the re was not hing to look forward to at the end. The re was a lack of excitement at Tee Jay. During those last few weeks we were faced with many disputes a nd acts of vandalism, these put tension in the air. We could only describe this year in one simple phrase, "I guess yo u had to be there."

Boy, did they have a lot to flaunt! Sometimes, it seemed that some people shopped all summer! And the results showed that this year. It was obvious that students had a different taste and attitude toward dressing, and looking great. Many students loved casual wear. Big sweaters, printed shirts and floral jackets were among the most popular ones. When dressing up was the game, some students played ful court. Great brooches and pearls were the favorite jewelry items love by fashion-conscious students. "I like to dress up because it's a way to be different and to escape everyday boredom," Sara Hansen '87 said. Many students dressed up just to "look nice" and to feel good about themselves. Dave Nelson '87 said, "It gives me a feeling of inspiration and makes me feel s pecial." With the T. V. show Miami Vice, came the clothes which gave a new meaning to the word pastel in the fashion scene. Guys decked out in pale jackets over even paler shirts with the Crocket hairdo (short, spiky, on top and sticking straight up) and of course, no socks. Troy Kramer '87, had his own definition of style. Except for a few very, very cold, cold days, Troy wore big Burmuda shorts with layered s hirts. No one else did this and this separated him from the regular crowd. The exciting part was that he kept this style throughout the year. What will Troy do next year? "Nude," said Troy with a big s mile on his face. All photos, copy, and pages by Banghye Kwon 6 Fashion ,. .

At the beginning of the year, before there was a chance to be bored, Homecoming festivites began with the carnival, car bash, game and dance. Soon it was time for the Snoball Dance and then everyone was dressing different and being crazy for Twirp Week, which was a change of pace altogether. Prom came before we knew it along with plenty of excitement. To know what these gatherings were really like, one would have had to be there. One minute we were bashing cars and the next we were returning tuxes and putting formals away, we were always on the go.

The band performs the school fight song at the morning assembly on Homecoming day. The band marched in the parade that evening, but didn't perform during halftime because of the rainy weather. Photo by Michelle Nunez. We were there w hen ... IO Homecoming ~ It was a cold rainy day full of chaos and excitement. October 18 was the start of the Homecoming festivities. During the morning pep assembly the court was introduced. The cheerleaders attempted to get students pepped up for the game that night and the porn pon girls entertained everyone with a dance. Coach Nick McGrain addriessed the students about the football team and its record. Many students were surprised by some of his remarks, but later after explanations, many understood. Students bundled up for the Trades and Industry carbash as it was a chilly, damp afternoon. There was even steam coming off the dunking tank. Students actually volunteered to be dunked. "I wasn't cold at all. I thought it was nice," said Bobby Lamkins '87. To play the games at the carnival, students had to buy tickets from T & I students and use them instead of money. Some students were disappointed when their tickets weren't accepted, because some were fake. Someone bought a similar role of tickets and sold them foi:- their own profit. "Whoever sold them showed a lac k of school spirit, to try and cheat T & I from their money," said Steve Schmieding '86. This put a damper on a fun-filled tradition. "The carbash would have been better if I would have won something," said Lee Meyerpeter '87. "I thought the carbash was neat and a good fundraiser," said Cari Bryan '89. Later that evening fans entered the stadium armed with umbrellas and raincoats. The rain didn't let up until haUtime and then it was still sprinkling. The court was again introduced and Jill Aldredge '86, was crowned queen at halftime. "I was happy that the waiting was finally over," s aid Jill. Hopes of victory were drenched with a 28-6 loss to Creighton Prep. Muddy football players and wet fans left the stadium in defeat. Saturday night the rain was gone and students s pe nt a dry evening at the dance . The theme of the dance was "When October Goes."

At the Jazz Ambassadors assembly the crowds of students in the bleachers seem to really be enjoying the show. We were there when ....... . What a bore! That seemed to be the only way to describe our assemblies. Nine out of ten people questioned would agree. Lack of crowd participation when we did have assemblies and just plain lack of assemblies were some of the main reasons for the disinterest in pep assemblies. "We cheerleaders asked for several more assemblies than we had," said cheerleader Lisa Wolff '87. Many students were disappointed because no pep assemblies were held in the new gym. "Assemblies were too short and we didn't spend enough time in the new gym," cheerleader Joy Pierce '87 said. Maybe we should just be glad that we even had pep assemblies. One thousand five hundred people in the fieldhouse was quite a lot. Some schools wouldn't have even tried it. "I think it works out great, it gives the school a sense of unity," Principal Gaylord Anderson said. Other assemblies we had besides pep assemblies were the Jazz band assembly and the Phil McKinnely assembly. Both were a success. Phil McKinnely was a football player who played for the Birmingham Stallions who came to talk to students about drugs. He talked about his past with drug and alcohol abuse and how to turn away from them. The Army Jazz band members who call themselves the Jazz Ambassadors came to perform at Tee Jay. That was the first assembly in the new fieldhouse and also was a very memorable assembly. Everyone seemed to enjoy them. They played and sang songs from Huey Lewis and The News, Starship, and other rock artists. "It was like a small concert, it was very good," Joyce Martin '89 said. Mr. Anderson said it was sure worth waiting for. There was a- lack of assemblies this year, but with the addition of the freshmen it was hard to fit all the studen1;s in the fieldhouse. We discovered this the first day of school when we had the assembly to start off the year and get things organized. There were people in the back who had to stand.

Becky Daley '86 and Amy Daley '87 show off their matching dresses while waiting for their Snoball dates to arrive. We were there when. • • A festive spirit could be felt in the air that first winter evening at the Snoball dance. If one hadn't known it was the first day of winter, the weather wouldn't have given a clue, as the sun had melted the snow and ice away along with the theme "Ice Castles". Couples arrived at the new gym with a date on one a.rm and can of food in the other. Admission was a dollar less if a can of food was donated to the National Honor Society annual food drive. According to Assistant Principal Steve Hardiman, the Student Council was working with the NHS to collect food for the needy during the holiday season. Students were talking and dancing, dressed in anything form long formals to casual dresses for the girls and suits to sweaters and ties for the guys. "Everyone looked real nice," said Walt Nichols '87, who escorted Ericka Kang '86. Later court members were introduced as they walked to the front of the gym for the crowning of King Scott Barnes and Queen Anisa Quandt. After the crowning took place, dancing, picture taking and eating resumed. "The dance was a lot of fun because they played a lot of slow dances," said Bud Petry '86. His date was Angel Quandt '88. Dancing in the new fieldhouse with freshmen were new experiences to everyone. There was also a concession stand run by parents. "I didn't like it in the new gym because it wrecked the floor. I think the old gym would have done just fine. I don't see why we get something new and have to wreck it right away," said Steve Schmieding '86. Steve escorted Tammy Dow '87. Dinner was first priority after the dance for those who hadn't eaten yet. "We ate at the Red Lion. I love to dress up and go out to eat," said Becky Daley '86. Becky went with Scott McKenzie. Others were off to parties, bowling, to the movies or just about anywhere e xcept ho me.

Weweretherewhen . .. We 18 Prom For many students the preparation and anticipation of Prom seemed more exciting than the actual event. Girls as well as guys spent weeks getting ready for Prom. When April 11, finally rolled around, it was time to go, ready or not. Girls spent weeks looking for the right dress and then all the accessories to go with it. Guys looked for tuxes to accent their date's dress and checked out limosine prices. Others made dinner reservations, ordered flowers and made reservations for hotel parties. All these things took money, time and more money. That final day was filled with last minute details. First priority was calling in sick to school. Then there were flowers to pick up and tanning sessions to attend. Cars needed washing and some extra rest was necessary for the big night ahead. "I almost didn't make it because I was in the hospital after my lung collapsed the night before. I got out just in time to go," said Bud Petry '86. Students entered the UNO Ballroom to find classmates as they never saw them before. Guys wore a colorful variety of Tuxes, some with tails. Girls were flounced with lace and flowers. Mr. Terry Todd introduced the court and then the royal couples. Chuck Vaughn '87 and Shelly Brabec '87 were crowned prince and princess while Darrin Jackson '86 and Lori Woolard '86 were King and Queen of Prom. "Everyone made me feel like I didn't deserve it," said Darrin. Little memory books were passed out to Prom goers at the door. Souvenirs of door hangers and candles were on the tables for whoever wanted them. "I liked the DJ a nd the candles were cool," said Schadd Gray '86. Dinner, hotel parties, bowling, movies and anything else filled the re st o f t he n ight and most of the next morning. "I had mo re fu n afterward s than I did at the Prom," said Troy Wils on '86.

Prom 19 WE WERE F reshman began the year a little confused and afraid of bumping into a senior or being late to a class, but as the year progressed things became easier. "It was such a big change, I didn't know where to go at first," said Laurie Jones '89. It was quite a change of scene from the small junior highs to the crowded hallways of Tee Jay, many adjustments had to be made. "It's all right, but it was kind of hard adjusting," said Allen Hoden '89. "I think people treated us older in high school and there was more freedom," said Heather Markeson '89. Although the freshmen were given more responsibilities and freedom, it didn't mean that they had matured. Some teachers had reason to believe that some ninth graders needed that last year to mature while others adapted just fine. "I like being a freshman because you meet a lot of friends, and if you're involved in a sport you have three more years to participate," said Mark Swift '89.

"It was wierd to be scared to start a new year. When I walked in the door, my knees were shaking," said Pam Beall '86 After stumbling through the construction remnants, st udents entered the gym to find a massive crowd of people anticipating the start of school. This year was a bit different tha n past years. This time there were freshmen in high school. The res ult of the School Board decision to move freshmen to high school brought along with it, many new situations. While some students s at on bleachers others stood at the back of the gym listening to Principal Gaylord Anderson's welcome speech. Many people continued talking until it was time to leave the gym. Homeroom lasted for an hour to fill out attendance cards and other first day tasks. Classes for the rest of the day were scheduled to last only twenty minutes. School was dismissed early bec ause of the warm temperatures. Continued on page 24 Fres hman Amy Midkiff and junior JeH Erickson e xchange "good-byes".

Halls were crowded and people were pushing and shoving. In one hallway people were going in so many different directions that everyone came to a standstill. "I got to the stairs and found myself in the midst of 5,000 people and I didn't know how I was going to escape," said Wendy Wolfe '86. There were little people running around the school that Sept. day - freshmen, of course. Many of them had heard rumors of being harrassed by upper classmen. They were relieved to find that the rumors weren't completely true. This was the first time freshmen had been in the building since 1961. "I think high school is more fun than junior high. There are more people to meet," said Candie Mount '86. Freshmen and sophomores weren't the only people new to Tee Jay. There were new administrators in the office and different teachers in the classrooms. Tee Jay e xpanded to accommodate the additional people. There was an incomplete gym and music wing on the other side of the tracks. Two new wings were built off the sides of the former new wing. "I love the new wings and I'm very excited to play sports in the new gym," said Jill Aldredge '86. Classes went pretty fast that day, even though the weather was hot and sticky. After a mild August, who would have thought, school would be dismissed early every day for the first week. As soon as the last bell rang students were off for some· last summer tanning, swimming and other things that would soon be forgotten. The first day of school was now history. There were only 179 days of school left to look forward t o .

Ill II 111111 B uzz ... There's the bell, hmm ... where should we go for lunch? "I usually always go out to lunch or I don't go at all," said Patty Ethen '88. The school's cafeteria was always quite a nice choice. If a student didn't like what they were having in one line they always had hamburgers and fries or burritos in the other. Other attractions of the cafeteria were the spaghetti bar and salad bar. The cafeteria also sold 'soft pretzels for a quarter. But if the cafeteria didn't meet a student's standards they could always rush over to McDonald's to beat the crowd. If the line there was too long they could go over to the Kwik Shop for lunch. There they had a large variety of foods, ranging from a submarine sandwich to a candy bar. Eating at McDonald's or the Kwik Shop everyday could get very expensive, not to mention monotonous. Some of the students seemed to dread the cafeteria, but actually it was a nice change from the fast foods. "It's really not all that bad," said Sheri Arndt '88. When eating at McDonald's a person usually spent an average of one to three dollars a day for lunch. In the cafeteria a complete, well-balanced meal was purchased for ninety cents or $4.25 for a weekly lunch ticket. So wouldn't one think that it would be a lot more sensible to eat in the cafeteria? Yet some students continued to go out. But there's one great advantage of going out that the cafeteria will never have, the outdoors. "The fresh air and being free is great!" said Kathy Landon '88.

Since the freshme·n moved in, the sophomores were no longer the underdogs. Some of the freshmen were kind of scared, others acted as if they had always been a part of this school. '1 thought it would be fun to come to Tee Jay because of open campus. But even without open campus, Tee Jay is still a great place to be," said Mike Watkins '89. '1 figured that the freshmen were going to be put down a lot because of the fact we are underclassmen, but no one has really put us down,they just treat us like regular people," said Jason Weider '89. Kevin Freeman '89 added, '1 wasn't scared at all, but I thought that we would get picked on. Before I got here, to Thomas Jefferson, I knew a lot of people already. That helped me out a lot." '1 figured the upperclassmen would be immature by calling us names. Anyway I wasn't scared because BIG DA VE is at this school," said Danny Nelson'89. (Dave was Danny's brother.) '1t was a real exciting experience for me and the other freshmen," said Eddie Rocha '89.

Being in a club was a good way to learn something and gain experience. Whether you liked acting, dancing, or singing or most anything, there was a club for you. In many clubs just signing up and attending meetings made you a member while in others you had to tryout or qualify. Earning points in drama class and passing an initiation was the entry into the Thespian club. In some clubs you had to be very outgoing and in others you had to be very intelligent. There were lots of new people to meet and it was a good way to spend some time with friends. No matter what the club you were in, being there made a difference.

W e really enjoy working with the girls," said the new sponsors. Marilyn Nielsen and Jan Hawkes became the cheerleading sponsors in October. Both squads, cheerleaders and Porn Pon girls, had been practicing since J uly and throughout the season. "I like being a Tee Jay cheerleader, it's a chance to meet new people, but I hate the early morning practices," said Rhonda Petry '88.

This rule was strongly enforced with the new sponsors. A lot of people seemed to think that being a cheerleader and Porn Pon girl were the same thing. But they were actually completely different, the cheerleaders cheered and the Porn Pon girls danced. This year it was a little different for the Porn Pon girls. Not only did they perform at the home football and basketball games, but they were asked by the wrestling coach, Steve Meade, to perform at the wrestling matches, too. "It's a lot of fun!" said Dawn Spence r '87. Although the freshmen moved up to high school Porn Pon sponsor Don Hansen did not allow them to try out, but the cheerleading sponsors did. "I would never again consider taking ove r the cheerleaders too because it's just too much work for one person," said former cheerleading sponsor and present Porn Pon sponsor Mr. Hansen. During the summer both squads attended camp at Lake Okoboji. Though this was optional, many girls chose to go. The girls worked hard on their fundraisers, earning money to help pay for their uniforms and camp. They also had carwashes and bakesales.

WE WERE THERE SOUTH OA\\0TA W hat doe~ Reptile Garden, Evan's Plunge, Thunderhead Falls, and Mount Rushmore mean? Well, it meant a fun time in South Dakota, for 49 Jazz Band members. On May 22, Dave Carlson's band members took a trip to South Dakpta, where they marched in parades and also went sight seeing in the Black Hills. They raised money for the trip by selling pizzas. Not only was the trip exciting but the band had an exciting year as well. The band had 2 I Ratings, 5 II Ratings, 72 performances, and 3 second place finishes. These were a few of many things the band had accomplished. "All this was made possible with the support of the administration and parents," said Mr. Carlson. The orchestra consisted of 61 members. It was divided into two groups: the symphonic orchestra with 39 member~ and string orchestra with 22 members. Even though the orchestra didn't have a ny field trips, they had fundraisers by having bake sales and collecting pop cans. According to orchestra conductor Brenda Copeland, th~ Chamber Orchestra received a Division 2 . Rating at the state contest, playing for the Baccalaureate, the Western Iowa Orchestra Festival which they hosted, and the All-City Orchestra Festival. One string quartet received a Division I Rating at state contest. Susan Moen '88 was in the Omaha Youth Philharmonic.

Questions and answers like this gave Tee Jay's Brain Bowl team a runner-up finish in the KMA Brain Bowl with a $200 scholarship for each member including the a lternate. They also received a third place fi nish at the Peru State Quiz Bowl a nd a $100 scholarship for a Tee Jay stude nt planning to go to Peru State College. The four members of the Brain Bowl team who competed in the KMA contest were, Vance Buckles '87 (captain), Charles Boetteger '87, ' Bill Riley '88, a nd Cathy Pierce '86 (alternate). "Three of these four also competed in the Pe ru State contest. Jeff Faust '87 took Pierce 's plac e,'' said Coa ch Ed Bremme r. The KMA Brain Bowl was sponsored by KMA radio sta tio n 960 and was also broadcast on February 2 through March 23. Tee Jay defeated Clarinda and Griswold in the preliminary matches and defeated Malvern in the semifinals, but lost the championship to Denison. There were 39 teams entered in the Peru State Quiz Bowl held on April 4. The teams from four different states were divided into four brackets. The four bracket winners went on to the semifinals and then to the championship. Savannah, Missouri defeated Tee Jay in the fourth match 300-90, the worst defeat ever for Tee Jay. In the bracket final the brain bowlers were again faced against Savannah, but this time Tee Jay came back to win the bracket 275-200. Copy by Kevin Waugh What's a Thespia n? "A Thespian ?

WE WERE THERE WORKING 0 ffice Education gave students an opportunity to learn more about the business world. Students were held responsible for maintaining an office job throughout the school year. Paula Pogge, '86 said that she really enjoyed the class and learned a lot from it. Some of the things she learned included office safety, typing tips, word processing and data processing, receptionist duties, and human relations. According to 0 .E. sponsor Julie O'Doherty, students also learn leadership skills. 0.E. gives students a cha nce to share job experiences and to learn from each o ther. She also said that it enables students to feel like a part of the orga nization, a part of the s chool. In 0.E. students learn phone and filing skills. They ha ve a chance to work with the Word and Data Processors, transcribers, memo ry and corre ctio n t y p e writers and calculators. Paula s aid that she would recommend this class to others who are going into office work as a profession. It would give them a better chance of getting a job.

WE WERE THERE MAKING PLANS J ohn: "Hey are you going to the basketball game tonight?" Bob: "Well I don't know. Last time I went we got killed!" J ohn: "Yeah I guess you're right but still all of our friends will be there." Bob: "Well I suppose 111 go." The above conversation was one heard several times in the halls of Tee Jay. It seemed everyone kept up on all of the athletic a ccomplis hments. How many times did you hear John say to Bob: "Hey we have a National Honor Society meeting today. We're supposed to be talking about the spring blood drive. Are you going to go?" Although the conversation was not as common, the event was. Every year the National Honor Society sponsored two blood drives. In the fall of '85 our first blood drive was incredibly successful, bringing in 129 productive pints. In the spring of '86 our goal was raised from 100 to 120. At that blood drive in the last minutes of the day we searched frantically for someone to donate the la~t pint of blood needed for us to reach our goal. Finally a brave student stepped forward and gave us the pint to end the day with 121 productive pints. Around _Christmastime we held our annual food drive. Nonperishable: items were · collected and given to needy people. Student Council decided to help out with the food drive so they made admission to the Snoball dance cheaper if you and your date brought a can of food. Aside from being in charge of Homecoming, Snoball, and T wirp, Student Council took on several other responsibilities. At the beginning of the year we had to compile a report of our goals for the upcoming year. For the '85- '86 year we entitled our goal "Special times for special people" and devoted ourselves to helping the handicapped. For Valentines Day we sponsored a dance for the handicapped students at school. We were a little worried about how it would turn out but our worries soon vanished as council members made friends with the students and all joined together laughing, ta lking, and dancing. "The kids had an excellent time," said teacher Jim Ratay. "it would have been nice to have it on a different night, besides the night of the high school dance, but I still think it would make a nice annual event." Student Council also helped with Special Olympics, April 23, 1986. Also present at the Special Olympics were ma ny of the s chool board members. S uperintendent William Lepley and School Board President Joanne Carrithers. Both spoke on s portsmanship during the opening ceremonies. O ther things the school board members discussed during the past year were budget cuts, teacher cuts and possible school closings. They proposed that there be a fee charged for any student participating in an a ctivity. Walt Nichols '87 and Phil Meekins '87 agreed that it didn't seem fair to charge students to participate. "By the time you pay for your shoes and whatever else you need to have, how c an they expect yo u to pay a participation fee also?" Meekins asked. Walt added, "As a freshman or sophomore you might not go out for a new sport for fear that if you didn't like the sport it would be money wasted." The common belief was that there would be a drastic decline in student participation. All of the schools in the system were affected in one way or another by the teacher cuts. Tee J ay lost twelve faculty members due to the cuts. The biggest question this raised was "Is it all over or will there be more next year?" Only time will tell. Copy by Jill Aldredge Clubs 45 I WE WERE B eing a sophomore meant a new year, in a new school, with lots of new people. The terrifying fact of not knowing where your next class was struck many sophomores as they read their schedules. "I was a little confused at first," said Jill Amos '88. But eventually sophomores got the hang of things. "I like being a sophomore, we had more freedom, it was fun," said Karen Baroch '88. Most sophomores were turning sixteen and this meant that they would be driving soon. Most of them were enrolled in driver ed. After the course was over, if sixteen, they received their license. "I can't wait until I get my license," said Kathy Landon '88. Being a sophomore wasn't all bad at least there were signs that we . . were growing up.

Although they've had their ups and downs sophomores would still choose Tee Jay over any other high school. "It's an okay school and it's a learning experience for other students to come and attend this school. I didn't have any trouble like I thought I would. Now that I'm a sophomore I think I'd rather be graduating this year," said Rick Sweenie '88. "It feels great because I only have two more years left. I loved the first day because I felt that I would fit in just great. I did have trouble finding my way around the school the first few days," said Mike Leeper '88. The sophomores took field trips to the Henry Doorley Zoo and to Riverside Park for the last few weeks of school. They had lots of fun and really enjoyed being outside for a while. Some students thought that high school would be all work and no play, but later during the school year they found out. "Thomas Jefferson wasn't. that bad after all and I'm proud to be at this school. If you haven't been there, you ought to try it out. I'm sure you'd learn to like it," said William Negrete '88. Toward the end of the year sophomores knew they were going to be moving up in the world into a higher grade. Pretty soon they will end up graduating and all the tears dripping down the sad faces because some of their fell ow classmates will be going in a different direction. "It's Great! I wouldn't want to be at any other school. There's one thing that can be changed, shorter days," said Jesse Leafty '88.

But sometimes being a high school student brought the demand for extra cash. Some students saved and some spent. Savings were kept for upcoming college or cars. Spending, well that came a little easier. Weekends took up a lot of extra cash a part time job brought in. Dating also took a lot of money. Where do you work? Usually a typical teenager would answer that question with Burger King or some other fast food restaurant. "It's okay working at Burger King because you meet a lot of people, but I hate working around grease," Kerrie Puls '86 said. There were others though that held jobs at stores like .. HyVee and also the new dog track, Bluffs Run. What were the benefits of working? ''I worked my senior year in order to save money for college," Steve Schmieding '86 said. "I like to work at Pizza Hut because I like pizza and I get a discount on all my pizza, Tammy Shrunk '88 said. Some students held more than one job or maybe just several jobs one right after another. "I have two jobs. One provides money and the other will help me in my future career. Bluffs Run is my money job and my job at Midlands Animal Clinic will prepare me for the future," Tom Burroughs '87 said. Dave Nelson '87 has held 5 different jobs since his -------------------sophomore year. They ranged from diswasher at Lake Shore Country Club to lot boy at Lake Manawa Datsun . . "It's hard for me to hold a job because I have to arrange my hours around my leisure time," Dave said. "Foodland worked around school sports," said Craig Martin '86."I was involved in and also around extra curricular activities." Jobs provided a lot for teenagers. Some jobs taught students how to work with people, a lesson that would help in the future. Copy by Linda Brown WHO ME?

With all of the dances, sport events, and club activities where did academics fit in? In class was where we spent most of our day and it was really the whole reason why we were here. We may have never realized but it was in class where we gathered and when we gathered we were able to socialize and plan our outside activities. It was that guy in English class who asked you to Snowball. It was in PE where you finalized your plans for the weekend with your best friend. The best things about the classes we took were after English, Math, and sometimes Science we were able to choose our clases just as we chose our goals. We chose what classes reflected us and it was these classes where we met the students that were most like ourselves. It wasn't all fun. Those who wanted to succeed in school had to struggle through tests and quizzes. There was no guessing if you wanted to succeed.

Either You know it or you don•t T he first day of the school year students were a bit apprehensive when they were met at the Chemistry door by Miss Agnes Spera with a wet rubber monster glove on her hand. She made it a point to make the first day of Chemistry both exciting and gross. Later on in the year the Chemistry classes were stinking up the hallways with all of their chemical reactions. Across the hall Physics classes, taught by Terry Todd, also did some experiments, although they weren't quite as smelly as the chemistry experiments. "The electricity demonstrations are the neatest and the one where you figure the velocity of a bullet shot from a gun," said Erin O'Grady '86. Moving down the hall students in Ms. Wanda Synhorst's Earth Science classes drew pictures of endangered species. While General Science classes took field trips to the Botanical Garden and the Center of Science and Industry, in Des Moines. Then in Human Biology students did labs and worked on blood typing, blood pressure, and breathing tests. At the end of the hall Zoology classes did a lot of disections, like of the fetal pig. Finally at the end of the year they took a field trip to the zoo . ............ If students were really happy they would walk into English and write down how they felt. Writing down their problems may not have created a great piece of writing, but it may have solved the problem. "Journals helped me learn more about myself through writing," said Zilla Floyd '87. "Journals became an avenue for students to vent frustrations, dreams, and desires. Students really took their journals seriously," said English teacher Angie Ankenbauer. Journals were a requirement in most classes. "Most students think journals are hard to write but it's only because they have never written about themselves before. Journals help them to create their own writing style," said English teacher Rod Cameron. ••••••• "I enjoy Math a lot because I enjoy working with figures. It is one of my favorite classes," said Shawn Kannedy '86. There was a good chance that if a student didn't like one type of math class that there were other courses offered here at Tee Jay that would meet their needs. But there were those people who didn't enjoy any type of math and refused to try it. They claimed that after high school they would never use it again. But who's going to balance their checkbook? And who's going to figure 01,lt how many miles you get to the gallon? How long will it take you to get from one place to another:? · "You use math when you go the the grocery store and you know everyone eats," said Tammy Allen '86. 1 Copy by Michelle Nunez Academics 61 62 Electives School?

E lectives such as keyboarding, contribute excitement to the normal, but boring school day. There were many good reasons students took these classes, especially keyboarding and computers. Doug May '89 Said he took keyboarding to learn to type but he thought that the most difficult part of keyboarding was taking a test. While Chad Goetsche '89 said that the hardest thing he learned was to learn the keys and to type. Many students took the class to help them prepare for a good paying job. Computer programming was one of the classes offered to students and adults on our Tee Jay campus. Terry Todd, computer teacher, said that the course has been offered for six years. And at the start of those years, only two computers were available with an average of fifteen students per class. Now there are sixteen computers with two printers. The class offered to adults on Monday nights was taught by Dave McConnell, an elementary teacher at Walnut Grove School. "The reason for most adults taking the class is because of the changing times, 'the computer age'," said Mr. McConnell. A variety of people took this evening class, from doctors to lawyers. And most students who had either Mr. Todd or Mr. McConnell said that they learned quite a bit in the class. "I have received letters from past students saying they have learned more in my class than other computer classes they took," said Mr. Todd. Electives also included other classes such as Art, Cooking, Sewing, Foreign Languages, and Psychology, just to name a few. Some of these classes required students to have a certain talent while others taught new skills. Some have had numerous guest speakers, films, and lots of hands-on projects.

Photo by Brian Bohnet. B ottle openers, screwdrivers, plaques, hammers, and gears were just a few of the products the machine metal class made. ".We start off with an old piece of metal, cast or melt it, pour into a mold and presto!" instructor Ed Rhode said. Mr. Rhode who served in the navy for 20 years, has been teaching at Tee Jay for 6 years. Machine metals had two classes. Basics, which was mainly freshmen and sophomores, had only one class all year and spent their time on both book work and machines. The second class, which was the career class was basically juniors and seniors and was much more advanced. Algebra, geometry, and trig were required to take the career class and · students must devote three hours of their time a day. The students had a shop fee of $6.50 and the rest was paid by the school budget. They had required projects and when they were finished, they're allowed to make anything they're capable of making. Safety was a major aspect and that's why safety glasses were worn while working with the machines. "I really like making things so it makes the class fun for me," Todd Reis is '86 said. "I like the class because I plan on working with machines when I get older," Bob Evenson '86 said. The new C.N.C. machine or Computer Numerical Control really helps out a lot. While it takes a regular machine 9 hours to do a project it takes the C.N.C. 9 minutes. "Next year we are planning to program the Apple Computer up to the C.N.C. which will help us out and sometimes in the near future we plan to get a robot to help us get things done quicker and to make t hings a little more interesting," Mr. Rhode said. As for girls none enrolled this year but in previous years they've usually had one or two which were always at the top of the class. "I really like the class because it's exciting and educational," said Mark Nuzum ' 86. Mr. Rhode said that if you're planning on going to college it's a good idea to take the class.

On January 28, 1986, nothing seemed to be wrong with the shuttle at the time of lift-off, but when it reached 10.4 miles into the air it blew up into a gassy fireball. It was said to be the worst accident in the history of the ·U.S. space program. "It really w~sn't a real big deal to me, but it's kind of unusual because a shuttle hasn't ever blown up," said Shane Aherns '89. To some it wasn't a big deal but to others it was a tragedy. Michelle Essensohn '89 said, "It shocked me, I felt bad. I didn't think it could ever happen." If it seemed to be a shock to some of us, what about those who applied to go? "Danger in space was the last thing on my mind," said Bruce Voigts, a Psychology teacher who applied. "I was really touched by the tragedy, it was not only a loss for the families, but for the · teachers, too," said Shannon Cde Baca, science teacher. Victims of the accident we re Christa McAuliffe the first teacher to go into space, Micheal Smith, Francis Scoble , Judith Re s hick, Ro n a ld Mc Nair, Ellison O nizuka and Gregory Jarvis. Even though the families we r e d e vastat e d by the accident they wanted to make s ure the space program carried on.

Well we're pretty much stuck with bad news because there wasn't much good news. The new library was good news but the bad news was it wasn't completed until March, just about the time students were completing term papers. Good news did come with the additions to Council Bluffs and also to Tee Jay. The dog track was a major addition to Council Bluffs. It brought j~bs and attracted people from all over the U.S. The new mall was started and many new restaurants came to town. Romeos, Bonanza, and Caniglias were a few. New additions to Tee Jay included the .Qew library, new gym/music complex, and two 11 new wings of classrooms. The Omaha Bryan High School suicides shocked parents, teachers, and friends of the three teenagers who took their own lives. Change was part of what made up the news. In March, budget cuts for the next year : had an effect on Tee Jay. some teachers received letters saying they would no longer be employed for the next school year. Due to an ordeal between a few Carter Lake and Council Bluffs students, police cars were a common sight in the parking lot after school in late April and early May.

News 69 WE'RE GETTING A nticipation was a feeling shared by many juniors, as they looked forward to becoming seniors. But as for now they still had another year to wait. "The term paper was definitely the worst part of my junior year, but volleyball and tennis were the best," said Hyo Kwon '87. Being a junior was sort of a relaxed year for the students. The excitement of graduating wasn't for another year and the excitement of being at a new school was gone. "It's weird everything is going so fast," said junior Tony Spidell '87. Being a Junio r we were aware of the short cuts and tricks of making the grade. In the fourth quarter things changed. Something new and different arose. This was term papers. "At first I didn't think I'd be able to do it, but once I got started and kept my mind to it, it was easy," Phillip Meekins '87 said. Tom Burroughs '87 said, "I thought it was easy because I wrote on a topic I liked." Not all thought it was a breeze. Some · juniors found they shouldn't have waited so long to start on this quarter assignment. Tomas DeSantiago '87 said he started off great but his pace wasn't fast enough. He did not leave enough time to do the copy itself. Next year Tomas said he won't mind as much to write another one because he found out it wasn't so bad after all. "I think I got the hang of it so I'm ready for next year," Tomas said. "I had some problems and one of my friends helped me out a lot. I just hope I do better next time,'' Walt Nichols '87 said. One of his problems Walt said, was that he started slacking off towards the end. Juniors searched for ways out of doing their papers only to discover in terms they were destined to continue the long destination of a finished paper. 70 Junior Division 1 I , 8'7 Junior Prom Court members Chris Hatcher, Shelly Brabec,_Denni: Knoer and Traci Bryan a wait t he announcement of the Kmg an Queen. _____ ... ------ ---- 1 -----· ----- _____ , --- -----· ---· ...----- ----- -----· -----· ----- ----- ------- -----· ----- ----1 ________ ------ ----1 ________ , , ________ , .. _______ .... _______ _ , , ______ 91111 .. -------·· \01111 UUll\1\\1 --·- Lori Richards '87 and Traci Willms '87 get some papers from Zane Knoer after school.

Playing on a team gave some students a sense of belonging. Some students participated in a sport just because they liked it. While others thought of it as a chance to be with friends. Whatever the reason, it took more than a group of people playing a sport to make a team, it took a group of people cooperating and trying their hardest. Swimming, t ennis, track, and wrestling all made it to State. Not all teams were quite as victorious but they did their best. Participating in more than one sport was common among students. Kevin Waugh '87 was a member of football, track and lifted weights in the off season. "I participated in sports to improve myself, to excel in football," said Kevin.

The season opener was against Sioux City East and West. We first played Sioux City West and defeated them 3-1. The second game of the night was against the East team. The two teams were evenly matched in determination and skill. But in the end the Yellowjackettes were defeated 2-1. The Y ellowjackettes season came to a fast end. Before we even knew it we began sectional play. The first sectionaf game was against Glenwood. It was one of the most exciting games of the season. Tee Jay was the home team and so Glenwood batted first. They tried to get an early lead by scoring a run in the first inning, but t he Yellowjackettes also scored a run to keep up wit h them. It was in t he second inning when Glenwood took the lead over us by getting three runs. We didn't score another run until the fourt h inning when G lenwood also scored four runs. But t hat would be the last time they scored. In the bottom of the sixth inning we still tra iled by three runs. It all ended in the bottom of the sixth inning when we rallied for four runs t o take the lead from Gle nwood . We then held Glenwood . in the top of the seventh inning and won the first sectional ball game. We then went on to play Lewis Central for the sectional championship. We were defeated 12-2. We still continued in the tournament play and went on to Regionals. In the first game of Regionals we met up with Denison, whom we defeated 4- 3. The second game · of regionals we met up with Lewis Central. This game proved to be a near upset for Lewis Central. Lewis Central was the home team so we started everything off. We tried to get an early lead on the Titanettes in the first inning by scoring a run, but the Titanettes kept up. There wasn't another run until the third inning when Tee Jay scored a run and the Titanettes scored two, this gave the Titanettes the lead but only for a while. We then came back with a rally in the fifth to score three runs and take the lead from the Titanettes. This was the last time for us to score in the game. The Titanettets also scored one in the fifth inning which only left them one run behind. There again was no score in the sixth inning because of the excellent defense and pitching of both teams. It came down to the seventh inning of the game. The Titanettes held the Yellowjackettes in the top of the seventh inning. The Jackettes couldn't do the same. The Titanettes scored two runs on a double and a single. The Yellowjackettes lost. Overall the Jackettes set six new school records. Twentyseven wins in one season was one of them. Three individuals also set new records, Erih O'Grady '86, the pitcher, s~t the record for the winningest pitcher in a season with ~6, and the most strikeouts in-One season with 269. Jill Aldredge '86, set the new record with the most base on b"alls with 31. The last individual was Michelle Doughman '85, with the most at bats with 138, and the most runs scored with 41. "We had an exceptionally good season, and we only had a few bad games all season, and we had excellent senio r leadership," said Coach Pat O 'Doherty. He also said that he had a lot of fun. Assistant Coach Sharon Semler said, "The highlight o f the season was breaking the school record of 27 wins an d advancing as far as we did in the state tournament. " "We had a really good team with very special people. We also learned a lot about each other and to care about each other," said Jill.

"I don't want to experience that type of season again," Don Froien '88 said. The football season wasn't all negative though.

"Although we had a lot of experienced runners last year, we actually did better this season," Willie McClain '87 said. Willie and Chris Schwartz '87 were the only lettermen to return from last year. "We had a good time • running for Mr. Muehlig and really learned a lot about sportsmanship during this unusual season," Chris said. "We had a balanced and talented team although the talent was new talent that had not had a chance to shape to precision. If some of the other lettermen from last year would have come out, we might have done better," Coach Muehlig said. "It was sort of weird to have a sport like cross country and it was even weirder when Mr. Muehlig started to ride his bike along side us," Dave Delawter '89 ' said. Dave was the only freshman on the team. The cross country team had an even record with two wins and two losses. They placed third in the Abraham Lincoln Invitational, sixth in the Lewis Central Invitational, and eighth out o f eighteen teams in the district meet held in Glenwood. Copy by Tom Burroughs.

Football & lronmen & Cross Country 87 WINNERS WERE THERE AT CAMP AND ON COURT 88 Volleyball , G etting away for the weekend was what some of the Tee Jay volleyball players did on March 1 and 2. Varsity Coach Sharon Semler and junior varsity Coach LaVonne Pierson took their crew up to Camp Brewster for the weekend. Every year they take girls involved in two or more sports. This year it consisted of 1 senior, 8 juniors, 8 sophomores, and 5 freshman, all being volleyball players. The girls did many activities like stuffing people with. balloons, playing football, pingp o ng, cross-stitching, and hunting for Easter eggs. ''It was pretty fun, but hard hunting for eggs two cm. high," said Carreann Carson '89. The theme was 'Winners and Losers'. The idea was to get the girls to feel more like a winner. "Hopefully the girls did some self-examinations of a winner · and loser, and of winning and losing. And they will go on and share their thoughts," Miss Semler said . . "The weekend really brought me closer to the upper classmen and I ·got to know 'therri better," Kelli Stogdill '89 said. "It was real exciting!" Kris Blackford '88 said. Bump, set, spike, talk, teamwork, digs, serves, great coaches, and many more factors were exactly what the 1985-86 girls volleyball teams had. The varsity team finished with a tough losing record of 11-17, while the junior varsity team finished with a winning record of 14-5. "We did very well as a team. We were inexperienced, which hurts the overall picture," varsity coach Sharon Semler said. This year's varsity team consisted of two seniors, Tammy Neuman '86 and Jill Aldredge. _ Sophomore varsity player, Shelly Duncan, '87 set a blocking record with 66 blocks. "It came down to the last game. I needed two blocks. When I got those two blocks, I was real happy. I looked at Miss Semler and everyone else, and they were all clapping for me" Shelly said. Duncan, only being a sophomore, will return next year. According to Junior varsity coach, Lavonne Pierson, she loved her team, they were a great bunch of kids, they liked each other, and they were a joy to coach, and they all had very caring attitudes. "I can't name only one key player because they were a ll key players. Volleyball is a team sport," Miss Pierson said. Copy by Amy Midkiff and pages by Michelle Nunez .

This was how gymnastics coach Mike Bond described the boy's gymnastics season. T earn members are seniors Terry Carmicheal, Bud Petry, Kile Keith and Kevin Rasmussen; Junior Todd Crouse; Sophomores Jeff Rohe and Freshmen Brian Bates and Mark Swift. The boy's team finished the season with a 6 - 1 record, an All-American rating as a team and a runner-up finish in the Metro Tournament. "We outdistanced all our opponents, except Papillion, who we lost to," Coach Bond said. The boys beat Central (132. 75 to 109.05), Bellevue East (127.7 to 75.4), Burke (131.95 to 104.15), Omaha North (133.5 to 101.15) and Creighton Prep (135.55 to 79.55). The boys lost to Papillion by the score of 111.4 to 124.l. Coach Bond said that Terry : Kile Keit h '86 moves through t he routine of his floor exe r cise. CHAMPIONS I e Carmicheal was absent from the Papillion meet with tendonitis, and that Tee Jay probably would have won the meet if Terry could have performed. This season the team combined to win 48 medals, they also had 10 individual first place finishes in invitationals and had two members qualify for All-American Honors. Todd Crouse qualified for All-American in the vault and the floor exercises, while Terry qualified in the pommel horse, floor exercise, still rings, the vault, parallel bars, high bar and all-around. Coach Bond said that the team also broke every individual record this year. Even though the girl's gymnastic team, coached by Mike Bond, finishing with a 0 - 4 record on the season, he was still very pleased with the number of girls that were joining the team. "The growing number of girls joining is good to see," Coach Bond said. Members of the team were juniors Dawn Spencer, Angel Newland, and freshman Barb Brennenstal. They were on the team during the fall/ winter season. Junior Shelly Brabec, and freshmen Michelle Greenwood, Susan Freeman and junior Laura Keim from Abraham Lincoln participated during the winter season. High points of this .season included Dawn Spencer and Michelle Greenwood qualifying for Sectionals, which was in the second round of state competition, and the team set a new team scoring record with 104. 7 points.

Dave swam in the 200m freestyle placing 15th and placed 20th in the 500 freestyle while Phil swam to a 24th place finish in the lOOm backstroke. "State was a lot of fun. It's cool to be counted along with the best. I was proud to be there swimming against the best swimmers in Iowa. It made me feel really good inside," said Dave. Dave and Phil were also named to the All Metro Academic Swim T earn for the 85-86 season.

Swimming 93 IT ISN~T WINNING 01 LOSING IT~s HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME 94 Basketball A year of up's and down's describes the boy's varsity basketball season. An up: T erah Jones '88, as Head Coach Bob Nielsen described him, "A very exciting player and a super jumper," came to Tee Jay from Des Moines, to help the Jackets out. The dow·n part: T erah moved away at the end of his junior year and left a void to fill in part of the game. Who's going to block the shots and make the slam dunks now? Enter Chris Hatche r , another up: Hatcher will be a senior next year and, during his junior letter-winning season he led the team in rebounding and was t he second leading scorer. Another down: Coach Nielsen mentioned three senior lettermen that were valuable to the team that will be graduating. They we re Devon Higginbotham, Craig Martin and Steve Schmieding, winner of the Most Valuable Senior award, he cited t heir outstanding leadership to the team as being important. The up part to this: "We had a freshman, Robert Freeman, who was fourteen years old, playing against people who were four years older than him. Of course, in the long run this will be good for him," Nielsen said. The final downer: The team ended with a 1-19 record. The final upper: Their record almost has to improve next year.

Coach Meade said that the team was right on schedule with t he goals they should accomplish. Coach Meade 's main objective was to finish better in all tournaments. The main tournament for varsity was Metro. Scott Riche '87 and captain Tim Owens '86, took first place in Metro. ''It's not really a big deal being a t eam captain because everyone is doing so well, but it puts me in charge more," said Tim. Tee Jay defeated Abraham Lincoln 38-24 in a dual. "We were looking forward to winning. We haven't beat A L in a dual for seven years. We thought we could do it and we did," Coach Meade said. We took four wrestlers to State. This was the most T.J. has taken according to Coach Roger Williams. The wrestlers who went to State were, Tim Owens '86, Scott Riche '87, Steve Barnes '87 and Jason Boarts '89. Tim was the only senior to make it to State. For two years in a row Scott earned the trip to State. And Assistant Coach Johnson said that Scott has a really good chance to do it again next year. "This would be the first time for a T.J. wrestler to do this," said Coach Williams. Scott finished 5th in the State on March 1. "We need to improve by getting people in the weight room and start lifting weights," Coach Meade said. Ending with a 6-0 record Tee Jay wrestlers went undefeated.

Was it passing Mr. Rosenthal's Math classes or finishing the always treacherous physical fitness or maybe just plain graduating? Maybe these accomplishments did have their own sense of survival, but to approximately 50 athletes the meaning of survival was close at heart. According to Dan Weatherill '87, "It's tough. You've accomplished something if you survived." To survive track was like making a million dollars. Or like Head coach Bob Nielsen said, "To survive is to .letter." _ ..

He also competed on the 400 meter relay team that went to State and t he 800 meter relay team which missed state by two tenths of a second. Members of the 400 meter and 800 met er relay teams were Kevin Rasmussen '86, Bill Leonard '87, Hatcher, and Al Rubio '86. Bryan Brownsberger '87, Dan Weatherill '87, and Chad White '88 were three other key performers. Brownsberger tied the school record in the 400 meter run, Weatherill was a discus thrower and threw second behind Hatcher. Rubio also set a new school record in the 200 meter dash. White was a good distance runner and ran exceptionally well in the 1600 meter run setting a new sophomore record. In the State Pentathalon, held June 6, Hatcher placed third. The girl's season had a lot of success considering the survivors who finished the season. "With only seven to ten girls running or competing we did good," Assistance Coach Sue Tyler said. In the district meet Tammy Dow '87 qualified for the state meet in the 100 meter dash as well as a member of the 400 meter relay team.

"I felt like it was a big accomplishment to go to State in Singles, since I've gone as a doubles competitor, " said Rick.

On May .1, the varsity duffers placed fourteenth in the Metropolitan Conference Tournament. Instead of nine holes, the squad faced an eighteen hole course. According to Schmieding, all matches were nine holes except for tournaments which were eighteen. At the Metro tournament Martin, Schmieding, Hogueison, Kahre and Scott Madsen '87 were the five players representing . Tee Jay. The top four scores counted were Hogueison shooting a 91, and Martin, Kahre and Madsen all posting 93. "We. all need to improve on our consistency. Otherwise we play good as a team," Schmieding said. The squad held a 3-4 dua l record. Its victories came ag<ctinst Bellevue East and Lewis Central. The losses came against Papillion, Omaha, Bryan, Omaha Burke and Omaha Creighton Prep. " We've played very inconsistent this season. We have play e d some good matches and tournaments, but we were beaten by some teams that we shouldn't have been beaten by," Coach J a ck Ros enthal said.

Instead of lasting almost two hours, like outdoor, indoor didn't even last one hour. It was faster and more exciting. "It's not dangerous at all except for little things like pulled muscles and a few rug burns," said Troy Kramer.'87. "Indoor has less players on the field and it's quicker, because of the smaller playing field," said Brian Bohnet '87. "For protection." goalie Shane Moffitt '87 said, "I wear gloves and a padded suit.'; As for practice, they only have an hour a week, as a team. Some players practice independently at home. Shane's job as a goalie was a little tougher, so he had to practice a little more. When players received penalties, they served a twominute penalty and the team had to play one player short. Other players usually served penalties for the goalie. Some of the players had been playing soccer up to 9 or 10 years outdoors and indoor soccer for the last 1 or 2 years. Other than the goalie, the only real equipment needed was a good pair of shoes and a soccer ball. Once the spring season began the team continued to be undefeated with a 7-0-2 record with ties between Bellevue East and ties with Abraham Lincoln. Goals were scored in tournament play by Troy Kramer, Sean LeBlanc, Jamie Moffitt and Troy Wilson. We fell in the last game to Abraham Lincoln , the championship game, with a score of 1-0. This was the first loss and the only lo~s all season. Copy by Tracy Kramer Soccer team lines up before the game. They are Scott Hansen, Paul Abshier, Craig Lang, Troy Wilson, Gail Anderson.

There were so many things to do before graduation. Cap and gown measurements, announcements to order, senior pictures, senior skip day and all those other things that would lead to that long-awaited night. Being a senior meant so many different things to different people. To some it was being able to have short day or keeping underclassmen in line. To others it was a financial responsibility. "I just like saying I'm a senior," said Angie Brayman '86. However each person interpreted being a senior, it meant several things to all of us. This was the last time we would be a class and our last year in high school. There would soon be new challenges and opportunities to face . It was time to say good-bye. At first we thought our senior year was going to last forever, but time flew and we were caught off guard as we realized we had to let go because this was it.

February 6 was the day of the senior ski trip to Cresent Ski Hills. The senior skiers set the books and · : assignments aside for a day of falling down, getting up and in some cases staying down. Early that morning the lounge was full of senior~_ i!l snow suits, lo~g jo_hns, ear muffs, coats and numerous other things to keep warm. After we arrived at Cresent we only needed equipment and to figure out how to put it on. Now we were ready to ski - or at least some of us were. For those who weren't, Mr. John Kinsel's and Ms. Sharon Semler's ski lessons were a good idea. If some skiers weren't discouraged trying to . get to the ski lift, they had taken the first step and the hard part was over. "The funniest thing was watching and ·making people fall," said Steve Vashon '86. The rest of the afternoon was spent skiing, helping others up and socializing in the ski lodge. After waiting for a late bus, we were ready for a rest. As if a whole day of skiing wasn't enough, several guys went back later that evening and skied until closing time. .

It was a mere quirk of fate that an ushering position came up at the last moment for the Tina Turn er concert. I had been anxiously awaiting the concert date to be announced, but by the time I heard it, it was too late to get tickets. For weeks I walked around shattered at the fact that I couldn't see Tina Turn er in person. Then it happened, Mr. John Gibson, drama director at Thomas Jefferson High School, told me that I could take his place and usher for Tina Turner. Needless to say I jumped at the chance. At first it didn't sink in, then I ran to everyone and anyone telling them that I was going to see a legend. Much to my dismay many of my friends didn't feel the same way I did. "She's too old, she's more for the older crowd that knew her when she was first famous," said Tamara Wilson '87. "I like her songs and everything but she'd have to put on a pretty good show for me to pay SS0.00 to see her." Then I heard others who wanted to see her but couldn't. "I wish I could have gone, but I couldn't get tickets, Brandies was sold out in 3 hours," said Lisa Channey '87. "I don't care what a·nybody says I like her and she has a gorgeous saxaphonist." Then I started thinking, maybe my friends were right, I don't hear anyone singing along with me when we hear "Private Dancer." cf?oxann e ..£:Jnn ..£and on 118 Seniors When concert time rolled around I had seated a section that seemed to have 12,000 people in it. I seated all kinds of people young, old and of all races. I figured Tina had a following of just about all kinds of people. The opening performet was suppose to be John Parr, singer of St. Elmo's Fire, but he had to be at Farm Aid the next day, so he cancelled. Limited Edition took his place. I just kept seating people until 9 p.m. then it happened, Tina stepped out on stage. In a rage of glory like no other performer I've ever seen she took everyone's breath away including mine. At that moment I was very glad I had gone to the concert. Song after song was vibrant and full of endless amounts of energy. The audience was under this one woman's spell for over two hours. The moment that broke everyone's heart was when Tina sang "Private Dancer." In a white mini skirt with a feather boa she made people cry. Tina also took us back to the seventies with her well known rendition of "Proud Mary," never have I seen a performer of 47 act like a girl of 14. "My brother said it was the best concert he'd ever been to," said Sue Allmon '86, "wish I'd gone." When I was leaving the concert I felt very vibrant and excited. I had this tremendous amount of energy. When I got into my car I was trembling. It was as if a piece of Tina Turner's energy ~as .now a p~rt of me. Copy by Darrin Jackson , Seniors 119 120 Seniors Tonight is the moment we have all been waiting for. That old favorite locker is all cleaned up, all the graffiti has been wiped away, we have turned ~n all our books, and said goodbye to all our favorite teachers. We are also letting go of our friends, the people we have grown up with a-ttd been with since kindergarden, and that special friend who always had the shoulder to cry on and who you could tell your secrets to. We are now on our way to new places, faces and challenges. Each of us will set out on our own journeys to try to reach our goals. Near or far, the memories of these years will always remain. Those little things that stand out in our minds will keep us in touch with the people that we leave behind as we walk through these doors tonight. The future no longer seems sofar away, it is waiting for us right outside these doors. Now all we must do is take on the challenge that the future is bringing with it. We own all our fantasies, our dreams, our hopes and fears, all our triumphs and successes and all our failures and mistakes. We tried, succeeded, and finally made it to the big day. Do you remember the first day of high school? We got up an hour early, took our time getting ready so we would look just right and we couldn't wait to see how everybody had changed. We were all, I'm sure, a little nervou~ _ ang J~i_ghtened for we had d/nc•a .£ouc•e Q uandt finally made it to high school. I don't think then that we realized the last three years of our school life would go so fast. We sometimes rushed life and sometimes life rushed us. Sometimes it was taken day by day and sometimes we thought we would never survive through another school year. We have all changed in many ways. We have grown up little by little and faced things with maturity as we were expected to. We leave Thomas Jefferson tonight with tears of joy and sadness, but we will also leave with the knowledge and the ability that we can make this world a better place to live.

Try hitting as many places as you can without hitting the bottom of your wallet. If you're lucky, you might even run into a great sale where you can buy a superb looking outfit for practically nothing (no, I'm not lying, I've done it before.) And that's just one of the fun things about shopping. You don't even have to buy anything. Just going to see all the newest trends, meeting friends and checking out all the good looking guys or girls make shopping an ultimate way to pass a Saturday.

Burger King's post er of Herb did both disappearing acts and reappearing acts in various places around school inclu'ding the student lounge, study hall, and a basketball game. C rowded hallways were a problem and there was always someone who'd stop in the middle to talk to someone going the opposite direction. Even though school seemed Jike a big distraction in life, there were lots of little distractions that bothered everyone. · Jiow many times have you been interrupted by a bell that rang for what seemed like several minutes, but was actually only one? "They bug me. If they're not going to work right, I don't want to hear them," said Steve Schmieding '86. Some distractions were pretty tough to get away from such as bees flying around a classroom when you are trying to listen to your teacher. Many classes were interrupted when a girl let out a loud shriek because a bee was buzzing around her face. Maybe those bees thought they were welcome since our mascot was a Yellowjacket. "The bees didn't distract me. I found a great way to put them to use - book cover decorations," said Scott Gillispie '86. Out of the classroom, in the halls were the smoochers. Several couples were seen kissing passionately in the halls between classes. Since we had an elevator shaft with no elevator, the shaft became a favorite place for these smoochers. After all they were going to be apart for a whole fifty minutes. Weather was another big distraction for most people. It was hard to concentrate when the temperatures were almost as cold or hot inside as they were outside. Now the construction work and the freshman move couldn't be left off the list of distractions. Some may have thought there were squirrels in the building chasing each other around, but they were actually freshmen acting like freshmen. Students were soon accustomed to rush hour traffic in the hallway. "I don't like my homeroom in the new wing because it's so crowded going to first hour to the old wing," said Stacy Ring '88. Due to the construction of the new wings, several classrooms no longer had windows. "It feels like a cave. There's no circulation. If I had claustrophobia I don't know what I'd do," said Angie Brayman '86. Several students complained about their lockers not being near their homerooms. When someone asked where a new room was, t-hey were answered with: it's where the library used to be or where the counseling center was. It was a great way to direct somebody somewhere. There were some things in the student lounge that people didn't like such as the candy machines. Of course it was great being able to get something to eat whenever hunger struck, but there were downfalls. If one needed change for a dollar, a trip to the activity window was necessary. At least it was until the new candy machine arrived. It was the biggest attraction in the lounge. It carried a large variety of candy and took dollar bills. Students stood in line and arrived to class late just to get a box of Runts. Until it was fastened to the ground some student found it easier and amusing to tip it over or up side down and get free candy. Many wondered why gum was never put in the machines, but the reasons were obvious. Finally there were little distractions that annoyed everyone. Rude people in the halls, people doing anything to be a nuisance and long lists of things that bother everyo·ne. Of course this list of distractions as a distraction in itself could go on forever. By now many are probably tired of hearing about them, but if we didn't have these small problems, what would everyone complain about? Copy and pages by Laura Faust.

But it was the first day of school and the student lounge was filled with delirious and exuberant students waiting for the school day to start. Everyone looked differ ent since last May. Many wore shorts and simple shirts. Some wore jeans. Basically they all looked somewhat similar since many dressed for the sultry weather ... but not their hair. In fact, it probably was the hair that made people look so different and look so good. Left or right, hair was short: short on top, short on bottom, short on sides or short all over. Few had Mohawks and hardly anyone had long hair. Steve Wink '86 was one of the proud Mohawk owners. Steve had T J shaved on one side and 138, his wrestling weight, on the other side of his head. "It's cool and different," said Steve. "Different" was the look many looked for. Some cut their hair differently every month 'so as not to conform'. Ericka Kang '86, on the other hand, did not cut her hair for over six years. Her hair was a little over 4 feet long. "I'm going to get it cut after graduation," said Ericka. "It takes me about two handfuls of shampoo when washing, but I don't mind it." Crew cuts made a return from the l 960's and even the girls got into it a little by shaving the sides of their hair while back hair stayed full and moussed up. Different and unique hairstyles were obtained easier with help from gels, mousse, hair sprays and other 'tools'. "They help control your hair so that you can have styles that would not normally be possible," Kelly Kriefels '86 said. Joy Pierce '87 said, "I don't like the hair styles at Tee Jay. People are afraid to be bizarre. They follow others." Kelly said hair styles "depend upon the individual and a ll hairstyles look great if the style fits t heir personality." But there were other views. "I think you ought to have the natural look," said Chris Talcott '86. Whether Chris realized it or not, as the weather cooled, hair was getting longer and fuller for both girls and guys, and with it came more of a 'natural look.' After winter, when the weather started to warm up, shorter hair was once more welcomed. And the cycle will start all over again. 1Copy and pages by Banghye Kwon. , A sort of Punky-James Dean look was what satisfied Kent Clark's '86 taste. Lori Woolard '86 found this conventional but pretty hair style to suit her throughout the year. Lori Kopera '88 bursts into laughter while Julie Theisen '87 gives a comforting smile. Both had long bobs which were cut shorte r toward the end of the year. Hair 135 "Christmas to me is getting t ogether with your family and exchanging gifts and c atching up on old times.

Holidays were a special time and during each holiday season there was a certain change in atmosphere. Halloween brought the feeling of mystery and brought out the creative and wierd personalities from deep inside of some students. Lots of students visited haunted houses during Halloween. "Mystery Manor was the best haunted house I went to," Scott Gillispie '86 said. Although some high school students had outgrown these holidays, some still saw the magic in each holiday season. The days before Christmas vacation were counted down and many students exchanged gifts. 'The last day of school before Christmas vacation was great because hardly anyone was at school and we did whatever we wanted," Bud Petry '86 said. Christmas vacation came slowly and ended quickly. 'There was nothing to do but play basketball, stay home, and sleep," Jim Wright '89 said. '1 had a great time and I went to a lot of parties," Kathy Beaver '88 said. Durlng Christmas the atmosphere was cheery and Valentine's Day was like a circus full of balloons and flowers. Valentine's Day brought deliveries to Tee Jay. Flowers, balloons, and candy were a few of the gifts exchanged among friends and sweethearts. Love was in the air. Next came Easter bre.ak, otherwise know as spring break. Spring break was like summer in four days, the temperatures soared into the eighties and a high of eightyeight degrees was reached on Friday, March 28, and it continued to remain bright and sunny the rest of the weekend. When we returned to school on Tuesday, the weather dipped back down into the sixties. "Over Easter break I vacationed to my backyard and got a great tan in three days," Kim Jordan '87 said. Holidays were a time to celebrate. They were a much needed break from the everyday routine.

E.ating, talking, sleeping, and sometimes studying were some of the most common events that took place in the lounge. "During my study hall I make posters in the lounge to help support the cheerleading squad," Joy Pierce '87 said. Groups of friends small and large gathered to talk about the latest to the oldest news around school. "On Mondays I like to talk to everyone about what they did over the Weekend," Bud Petry '86 said. A sight that soon was a thing of the past was students relaxing in the lounge listening to radios and headphones. Second semester, headphones and radios were banned from school. "I find the student lounge a great place to pick up girls and listen to my tunes," Schadd Grey '86 said. Some study hall students with . honor passes ended up spending their extra time in the lounge, while others stayed in study hall. "It's easier to do my homework in study hall because in the student lounge I always end up sitting and talking to my friends," Melissa Higginbotham '87 said. Even though in the winter, the lounge is freezing, students still gathered to talk and have some good times. There were, of course, those unforgetable times like when Herb was stuck on the pop machine and when the new candy machine appeared. Herb was a promotional idea for Burger King originally but other Council Bluffs businesses used the slogans "Herb eats here", "Herb gets his hair cut here", etc. Burger King had a cardboard personna of Herb which somehow ended up on Tee Jay's. pop machine in the lounge. The new candy machine held 38 more candy bars than the old ones. Strange candies appeared in the candy machines like Zaps and Runts. Even though our pop machine carried Pepsi, new Coke made it's debut in the early summer of '85. With new Coke, old Coke became Classic.Coke. Also, there was new Cherry Coke and Diet Coke. Some Coke drinkers became confused and turned to Pepsi, the Choice of a New Generation. Copy and pages by Linda Brown Kathy Quick '86, Shawn Taylor '87, and Brent Ryba '87 study in the lounge.

Lunch & Student Lounge 139 HERE A long with the freshmen move came the teacher move. Not only were new teachers added to the staff but a large majority of these new teachers were those moved from the Junior Highs. So some of the freshmen and sophomores were now seeing some of the same teachers they had in Junior High. This seemed to help the transition, a familiar face really made a difference. And throughout the first semester the faculty seemed to be very happy, very together, almost completely different from second semester. They still got along well with each other but during second semester something called reduction in force happened. They called it the "riffing process." Approximately twelve teachers received letters . saying that they would not be returning to teach at Tee Jay or in the system in the fall of '86. This affected all of the teachers. And of course, some of the students, too. Especially those who were looking forward to taking a certain teacher's class later on. It's hard to describe how the teachers were feeling. They seemed sad. One teacher said that to be told that you lost your job was like experiencing a death in the family. But before the end of the year several of the riffed teachers had been recalled. They were happy that they would be returning in the fall, but it wasn't like their happiness at the beginning of the year. We could tell they were wondering if the same thing would happen again to them next year. It was strange. You had to be here to understand what it was like.

Photo by Darrin Jackson MA'l'VRI'l'Y A fter having different types of classes and teachers, high school students knew the ones they liked and the ones they disliked. Some were stictly followed by the books and homework, or they were full of class discussions and diffe rent projects that added a little different atmosphere. The way classes were run depended on the teacher and how he/she chose to run his/ her class. Barb Renkenberger Ed Rhode Fran Riggs Evelyn Rock Clair Rose John Rosenthal J . David Runyon Lori Schaefer Sharon Semler Joyce Schoeppner Kelly Scott Tammy Scott DE~ERMINES CLASS A~MOS PHERE "It makes it a lot more enjoyable and easier to understand if the teacher doesn't go strictly by the book," Zilla Floyd ':87 said. Students seemed to look for qualities in teachers that would help or hinder their ability to learn. "I look for a teacher who has a great sense of humor and works that into their lessons," Chris Moore '86 said. The way the teacher looks upon a student may also effect a student's ability or determination to learn. "I like a teacher that treats students like individuals," Michelle Baker '86 said. According to English teacher Angie Ankenbauer, the way students act effects the way a class runs. "The maturity of the students and what the teacher thinks the students can handle determine which activities the class should do ," Miss Ankenbauer said. From students' and teachers' reactions it seemed that a students likes or dislikes depended on what the student values in a teacher and the maturity of the class.

Students spend money, it's a fact. Parents spend money, that too, is a fact. Everyone knows money doesn't grow on trees. When we put money into the business community we like to see it come back somehow, somewhere, someday. Some of our local businesses have done this. They've given back a small portion of our money - to buy a yearbook ad. And indeed, the money was not used for frills - because there are none. We used formatt letters left over from previous years and only the amount of color that was built into our contract. Students and parents bought yearbooks - they spent less than what it's really worth. The businesses in this advertising section helped make this possible. How can we thank them? By remembering who they are when we need an oil change, a checking account, or an ice cream cone. Thumb through the ad pages - maybe there's something else you need. 148 Ad Division d Herb gets carried away y Card boar baske~ball game. _.I k similar to I l M'\ler '86 carries a backpac - - ·- t \ass Matt ' k pens etc. h the halls to their nex c .I losing papers, boo s_, , Students walk throug d ts to prevent them rom . d b many stu en . those carne y d d by both males were or ere Flowers . t ol occasions and females for a vane Y b. thdays to dances. from tr _ Englis h teache r Angela Ankenba uer demonstra tes the impo rtance of business equipment used in the classroom.

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

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

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

Ann Reuland worked weekends at Martin's Orchard for $3.50 an hour making caramel apples. PUNCHIN' THE KEYS, Kerry Rasmussen rings up a shirt at Brandies men's department. Rasmussen worked for minimum wage, $3.35 a n hour. ot enough green stuff A quick can of caffeine before first hour, the new binding for the book you never covered, a candy bar to stop the third hour blues, the yearbook they keep hounding you about, enough gas to get home and th ' en those sudden shopping sprees - everything demanded money. To support self-indulgent lifestyles, students depended on allowances and pay checks. But whatever the source, income rarely covered expenses. Since pay was usually minimum, jobs forced students to put in maximum time to earn enough for the necessities. s· ixteen-hour days weren 't long h enoug to do justice to classes, homework extra cur- ricular a t• ·t· ' c 1v1 1es, and a job, so some students opted to make bucks first and fit in school when possible. " I'd rather have lots of money than Jots of A's. I get passing grades, and that's good enough for me," said Brad Danker '86, who worked 25 hours a week to clear $175. Even for the serious student who worked just a few hours a week for pocket money, classwork sometimes suffered. "After working all night, I sometimes have to put off my homework until the next day during classes," said Lisa Brink '86. For the 76 percent of students polled who didn't work because they were too young, unable to find a job, or forbidden by parents to work , allowances were essential. To earn that precious $5 to $20 per week, needy students succumbed to doing dishes, babysitting siblings, cleaning rooms, and doing laundry. But after all that effort, they found the cash lasted only three or four days. "It's awful! After going out on Friday and Saturday nights and throwing away money for nothing worthwhile, I have to dig for change in the bottom of my purse for Monday's lunch," said Sue Claussen '87. When students found themselves broke by midweek, babysitting came in handy. Although the pay was low, sitting provided an extra $5 to $10 when desperation struck. " Kids can be awful, but I find a way to like them when I need extra money," said Carolyn Widfeldt '89.

You could watch TV , study, clean your room, rearrange your sock drawer, or go to a party. More than a fe.w students selected parties as top choice. "When someone says party, everyone is ready to go," said Pat Kill '86. But traditional stand-around parties seemed to take a backseat to hayrack rides, surprise parties, and togas after the infamous scavenger hunt set an adventurous tone for the year. "This was a great year for unusual parties! " said Amy Lemen '86. "At one party I attended at Lake Manawa, we pretended to be on Gilligan 's Island. We sang the song from the program, made Cindy Wilson '85, Gilligan, and had all of the crew." As temperatures dropped, PARTIES MAKE LIFE MORE BEARABLE.

" Hayrack rides are a terrific way to get out in the autumn air," said Lori Barritt '87, "but you usually end up looking like a scarecrow with hay clinging to your clothes and hair." Surprise parties were a biggy on the party list, too, as students found great delight in secretly planning a get-together for an unsuspecting victim's birthday. " I was really caught off guard, " said Matt Burke '86. "I guess the reason they pulled it off so well was that they had it two weeks before my birthday! I never thought about it being a party for me so far ahead." The size of parties ranged from three or four guests to 90. The average party hosted 30 to 40 people.

"When it comes to parties, the more the merrier!" said Liz Larson '86. "With large parties, one person tells some friends, then they tell some friends, and you end up with a variety of people. I've made great friends this way." Although students preferred large parties, many felt smaller groups had advantages, too. "When Susan Schumacher and I turned 16, our parents rented a limo for us. We picked up several friends and had a small get-together," said Vicki Gilman '88. "It would've been impossible with lots of people."

Popular pastimes included Quarters and Pass Out, but socializing was still high on the list. "Although alcohol is present at parties, there is no real pressure to drink, " said Todd Johnson '89. "The choice is yours. " Parties were a time to let loose and meet people. Most agreed they were an important part of high school social life .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She glanced at the misty field and was disappointed with the small scattering of fired-up fans. The drizzly weather may have discouraged many supporters from attending the game, but the sizzling pep and spirit they had displayed throughout the week compensated for their absence Friday night. This crazy spirit had swept through the halls when a multitude of cleverly clad students entered the school Thursday morning for Nerd Day. Girls adorned in gaudy jewelry, clashing prints, and hornrimmed glasses scuttled to the bathroom to adjust barrettes in their ratted hair, while groups of boys compared their polyester EVERY HAIR IN PLACE. Scott Nielsen checks his appearance before posing for his picture.

"Mrs. Wahl looked hilarious in a flowery hat, mismatched dress, and huge wooden shoes." This same kind of energy continued to spark long after school was dismissed at 3:05. Spirit flared when 40 cars congregated in Taco John's parking lot for the car rally, whe re throngs of students scurried to tie red and blue crepe paper, signs, and multicolored balloons to their cars before driving down Broadway. After the car rally, approximately 500 people gathered at Bayliss Park for the legs contest and a pep rally. The park filled with a tingling excitement as the smell of carameled apples and sounds of wild laughter and cheers wafted through the air. Students consumed by this spirit screamed with the cheerleaders during the pep rally and bebopped to the music during the street dance. Such spirit lingered with the football players, who exploded to take their second consecutive victory, capsizing Ralston 10-7. "They outsized us and we had to overcome the wet, sloppy field," said Carter Larson '86. "But because of our will to win, the turnout of the game didn't come as a surprise to us." At half-time, the rain cleared in time for the crowning of Wendy Machmuller '86, as Homecoming queen. Saturday night's dance proved to be an extraordinary finale to the week. Streamers and balloons cascad~d from the gym ceiling and walls while approximately 1000 perspiring and breathless students lived up to the theme "And We Danced." " I've never seen so many people crammed into the gym before . My friends and I had a blast," said Lisa Wilson '87. "We didn't stop dancing until the music stopped. I've never had more fun or been more exhausted." To insure that this Homecoming Dance was never forgotten , student council members hired a photographer to take pictures for the first time. " This dance was my favorite because I'll be able to look at the pictures of my date and me and remember how special my senior Homecoming was," said Erlinda Mendoza '86. Whether adorned in costumes or cheering on the football team in the rain, students strived to make Homecoming week spirited and memorable.

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

Each cast member paid $20 toward costume rental, while pro· duction profits paid the rest. After th e ir first p erformance, cast members knew the time and money put into the show had been worthwhile. "At school performances we usually worry that people will throw things at us, but this year everyone was really supportive," said Susan Schultz '86.

To make their dreams come true, club members labored from 8 to 5 on the day of the dance, filling balloons, trimming trees, and decking the stage with holly. The hours of labor and $1200 spent seemed worthwhile as couples praised the atmosphere. "I helped set up the gym for Homecoming, but I've never seen anything like this! The balloon arches are impressive," said Todd Woods '86. But unfortunately, the atmosphere went all but unnoticed by late arriving students who waited up to an hour in the brightly lit balcony to have pictures taken. Because the photographer had not expected 400 couples to attend, the picture line robbed dancers of precious minutes. "When we arrived there was a huge line for pictures. I'm a dancin' man, and I only got to dance to three or four songs," said James Holly '87. But for those who arrived early, the evening was a success. Many students expressed their WITH HANDS FL YIN', Durand Compton, Tris Ranney, and Robben Quigley freak to a song by Prince. "Slow dancing with a date is fun, but I love fast dancing in a group," said Compton. approval of the live DJ who spinned tunes by everyone from ZZ Top to the B-52's. A high point came when a few crazed upperclassmen jumped on stage and jammed on air guitars to the music of Soundsational, just before seniors Craig Tracy and Kim Holl y were crowned prince and princess. For some, this dance would be remembered as their most expensive hour of waiting in line for pictures, but for most, Christmas Dance '85 was a night to let loose and "Rock Around the Christmas Tree."

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

" My trip to Iowa City, including food and shopping, cost about $90," said Denise Sol· lazzo '87, "but I would do it again because the trip provided some special time to share with my friend." Others who liked to spend money to get out of town, but did not want to spend the day with 60,000 people, found an alternative - they got friends together for a shopping trip, but not to good ol' Midlands Mall. One such trip took place when Candi Moore '88, and friends took that out-of -the-way trip to Lincoln. " I was getting bored with the Mall, so we decided this would be an exciting trip, " said Moore, " and we had so much fun because of the different stores and new faces. ,, Special weekends also took place close to home. Couples found Omaha, with its Old Market and wild atmosphere, to be the perfect setting for that spe· cial date. One such occasion was the evening Taryn Bixler '87, treated her steady, Shawn Hubbard, to a night on the town. " I took him to Spaghetti Works for supper, and he even agreed to go on a horse and buggy ride with me. What made it so much fun was that he didn't know what was going on or what would happen next," said Bixler. Students agreed that even though special weekends might be expensive, or require hours of travel, the big times that re· suited made the routine of the school year bearable. HEADED FOR HAWAII.

Special Weekends 33 A mob for dinner, a blindfolded date, ripped pants, and a blo.ody chin ... hardly the typi· cal ingredients of Prom night. But for many couples, Prom 1986 held surprises in store - some pleasant, some not. Instead of a quiet, romantic experience, dining became a crack up when 11 couples ate together at Omaha 's most elegant Maxine's. "Dinner was super funny because we were surrounded by people who were quiet and composed. We couldn't help going into hysterics when the waiter spent the whole night peppering our salads with a bazooka-sized pepper shaker and refilling our pop every two min· utes," said Amy Lemen '86.

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

Graduate Amy Lemen gets a hug from her best friend, Cindy Wilson, after t he ceremony. nxious to try our wings W e were like every graduating class standing ready to try out our wings that had been strengthened through 13 years of school - we had the diplomas, the gowns, the mortarboards, the tassles, and plenty of memories. But there was just one difference - we had no tears. Sure there were a few here and there - when we saw that special teacher, or hugged a best friend - but the Class of '86 had little remorse . Together we had struggled through a new administration's policies, 300 new freshmen faces, and to top it all off, a graduation date scheduled two weeks late r than any past commencement. So instead of feeling sadness over closing a chapter in our lives, we felt the relief of surviving it all. We looked forward to the excitement of a new beginning. Excitement filled the warm night air June 2, as we filed into the small gym, murmuring to one another, " I thought we'd never make it," and " I'm glad it's over. " After we settled into our neat rows, Don Scheibeler, English teacher, assured us, "The faculty really did like having you here and we'll miss this spunky class." As our class song, "Don't You Forget About Me" was played, some of us sang, some clapped to the beat, and after four tries, the boys vented some energy by performing the wave. Finally, we marched out, one by one, each girl accepting a white silk rose and an escort's arm. Soon, each couple reached the threshold of the gym, where they were nudged by instructors Don Whyte and Carol Tiller into a fieldhouse full of proude ye d parents, family , and friends. Underneath our feet lay new blue carpet paid for by our class, in front of us stood channel 1 7 cameras, and above us lofted the majestic melody of "Pomp and Circumstance." But the awarding of diplomas was anything but solemn, as the crowd whooped and hollered when each senior had his moment of glory. Laughter erupted everywhere when Senior Class president Craig Tracy bent at his knee and placed a light kiss on the hand of school board member Jo Anne Carrithers when he received his diploma. At long last, we could almost hear a drumroll as Tracy motioned to turn our tassles, and like one big volcano, rice exploded from 292 hands. Just as people throw rice at weddings to mark the beginning of a couple's new life, we threw it to mark the beginning of our new lives away from the security of school and home. We left that night not happy to say goodbye, but confident we could go on and face new and exciting challenges with our memories of AL carefully tucked away in a little blue diploma book.

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

The wide, attentive eyes of these pres· choolers at St. Mark's Nursery School flickered with amusement as they listened to adventures of imaginary kingdoms and treasure hunts. 40 Clubs & Classes These stories were part of a project assigned to Cheryl Tousley's junior honors English class. Students were asked to write a short book and read it to a group of children to become better experienced in public relations. " We were nervous about how the kids would react, " said Lori Barritt '87, "but they were enthusiastic about my story, which made the eight hours of preparing it worth the extra effort." THAT' S ENTERTAINMENT! Melody Massih shares her story with St. Mark's preschoolers for junior honors English. C reative juices flow and the 3ood times roll A s Rob Goodman '89, entered his honors English class on the first day, visions of endless research papers and 45- minute speeches went through his head, but his forebodings soon diminished as it became clear that the year would be not only challenging but fun. Teachers in the new courses reached for one goal not stressed in other English classes: they encouraged students to develop creativity and independence. " When we were assigned to do an interview, we were expected to budget our time, write questions, walk to the interview, and prepare results on our own," said Tracy Machmuller '87. "We weren't reminded daily or led through it step by step." Although students were assigned to write ballads, research papers, poetry, and oral reports, the monotony of classwork was broken by field trips and special projects. The fun began as students boarded the bus for a trip to Joslyn Museum, which included lunch at Flakey Jakes or Spaghetti Works and a stop at the Family Fun Center. While at Joslyn, students saw performances of " Life on the Mississippi" by Mark Twain and of three Poe short stories. " Visiting Joslyn was a great way to study literature," said Mindy Abel '89, "and it gave us a break from the daily classroom routine ." The fun continued as teachers assigned autobiography boards, homemade dictionaries, time capsules, and newspapers, which made individual personalities shine. Freshmen admitted that cutting, pasting, and deciding which pieces of their lives to FOLLOWING IN WEBSTER'S FOOTSTEPS, Mi· chelle Frick and Katie Linberg get their turn t o present homemade d ictionaries of words from t h e literature they wer e reading in J acque Hall's freshman honors English class. include on their autobiography boards were time consuming but rewarding tasks. "The boards included pictures, poems, and paragraphs we wrote about things special to us, " said Richard Streepy '89. " It took work, but the final product gave me a sense of self-satisfaction." Working on vocabulary also became a special treat for freshmen when they were assigned to write their own dictionary. "We used words from short stories we studied," said Kerry McKeown '89. " It was fun because we could define them in our own words, use them in sentences, draw the definitions, or pantomime them for the class." Working on a collection of creative writings for a time capsule let sophomores show their creativity as they wrote paragraphs about a historical person they would like to meet, a recent event that could affect the future , the dreams they would buy if dreams were for sale, and a letter to themselves about the things they wouldn't want to forget when they become a parent. After completing the pieces, they stuffed them into a container and wrapped them for storage at home until they could be opened in 1996. "Maybe you want to wrap them for a Christmas gift to yourself in 1995 or to use in celebrating New Year's Day 1996," Victoria Holder told her students. Just as Holder's class wrapped up their time capsules, honors students wrapped up the school year, realizing that English doesn't have to be all work and no play. " ON GUARD!" Jim Vaught and J.V. Zontelly show off the ir fencing skills as Scott Parks judges t heir performance as part of their study of King Arthur's legends in JoAnn Barcus' tent h grade English class. English 41 ~hey go foreign all the way "I n France a meal doesn't just consist of putting food in your mouth. It's a form of communication . .. an occasion, " said French instructor L'loise Bowman. French Club members took part in such an occasion Saturday, Dec. 12 as they enjoyed an eight-course meal and practiced French conversation skills. "There was an advanced student or visitor speaking fluent French at every table," said Gretchen Johnson '88. "It reminded me that French is a language surrounded by an entirely unique culture." Such activities were one way the foreign language department tried to create more interest in languages and encourage out-ofclass use of the languages. "Once the students leave the classroom, they don't hear the language, so we have to do everything we can to encourage it," said Thomas Lara, Spanish instructor. "Mastering a language is difficult without hours of exposure, which is hard to achieve in a high school environment." Foreign language clubs were the best way to counteract the problem. "When you're initiated into the German Club, you can speak only German for the first half hour," said Greg Jerrett '86. "That wasn't easy, but when I stopped to think, I could find a way to express myself." Even in class, foreign language teachers kept students interested by devising creative activities to increase students' recognition of the languages. Translating German magazines, playing French board games, and listening to Spanish Christmas music all helped. "Between German scrabble, Muehle (a mix of checkers and chess), and translatedowns, German class was never boring,'' said Priscilla Leu '89. "We learned from these activities as well as from the homework assignments." Whether students expressed themselves in Spanish, French, German, or Latin, they seemed to agree that a foreign language class opened the door to a new world. "IS THAT A WORD?" asks Pam Huebner as she plays scrabble with Vicki Fuller, Michelle Hetrick, a nd Shelly Kromminga as part of German class. Students re ce ived grades based on t he number of German words t hey could form. 42 Clubs & Classes FRENCH CLUB. FRONT ROW: Angel Minor. Debbie Dolezal, Peggy Streepy. Mindy Hoffman.

"You know, this music really is great," said Rocheleau, alias Tripp, as she strolled around the room listening to Christian rock on a walkman and carrying a Bible. "By the way, do my socks match?" she said as she checked over her outfit. "Will someone please listen to me!?!" screamed Markussen, as she played a frustrated student trying to read her speech to her preoccupied teachers.

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

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

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

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

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

"Shelly and I tried to make it as crazy as possible, using colored pencils to make her hair aqua, yellow and purple, and her face green and orange," said Clinton. Clinton and Krominga's crazy creation inadvertently got put with other art, and when looking for entries in the art show, Holmes came across it and decided to en· ter it as a different twist.

Art Media 49 M umbo jumbo jitters give way to successes A s more than 250 students opened doors to advanced courses, they opened doors to new worlds, many of which seemed unconquerable. The Iowa Math and Science Grant was one of the main reasons a record number of students enrolled in advanced courses, especially after state legislators, trying desperately to save bucks in Iowa's budget, voted to add yet another semester's requirement to eligibility for the grant. Most students were not sorry for their exposure, even after the financially strapped legislature totally cut the math and science grant from the state budget. Students came into the year expecting the work to be somewhat similar to what they had done in the past, but they often became panic-stricken when an unfamiliar language blanketed the board. "The first few days of Advanced Chem. were shocking! I didn't expect a simple class, but I thought the course would be taught in English," said Kristi Holcomb '86. But the foreign languages soon became comprehensible as students began to see the light, and the compounds, theorems, formulas, and variables began to fall into place. " I felt great when I began to understand Advanced Physics! I knew most of the languages, but applying them to the new concepts made them seem like I'd never seen them before," said Steve Stubblefield '86. Overall, students found that math and sciFRUSTRATED WITH HIS CALCULUS ASSIGNMENT, Todd Fox attempts to solve story problems. Fox was one of three juniors enrolled in calculus. 50 Clubs and Classes ence teachers went out of their way to help students understand, and that smaller classes provided more time for individual instruction. "In calculus, whenever I had a problem, Mr. Miller could see it written all over my face. Right then he'd stop and go through the entire problem if I needed it," said Jeff Lapel '87. The two Advanced Chemistry teachers, Dennis Schmoker and Chris Fink, had a different way of going that extra mile. They joined together to team teach and gave students two explanations of many concepts. While teachers went above and beyond the call of duty, students were kept busy doing the same. Many accelerated students didn't stop after one advanced course, but usually juggled three or four. Assignments seemed to steal even the hint of spare time, but students knew they were a necessity to understand the subject. "At first I thought I'd never understand differentiation in calculus, and I dreaded wondering what came next, but when I finally figured it out, I was jubilant! For a few days, I forgot about the tough road I still had to hoe," said Rick Reimer '86. Advanced math and science courses were entered by scared and unsure students, but students left them feeling inspired and confident that they were one step ahead of other college bound students.

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

But hour after hour, the students took written tests and participated in role playing situations as best they could. "For my test, I was a bank employee. A customer's account was messed up and I was to calm her down," said Ric Roberts '86. " I wasn't prepared, so I just put my natural charm to work and won."

Ueca helps • more 3a1n sales savvy 0 pening up courses, getting a state officer elected, and moving into brand new facilities improved life for students and teachers in the business and DECA departments. Under a revised curriculum, juniors could enroll for the first time in DECA, and even students not involved in the cooperative work program could take the class. Coordinator Roger Pearson worked strenuously to make this change so that the principles taught in DECA could reach more students. In addition to studying marketing, merchandising, and advertising, those students gained consumer awareness. "As a class project, we had to try to sell Mr. Pearson a product," said Jill Vallier '86. "I had to sell him a walkman and watching him roleplay making the decision to buy helped me to know what things to look for when I'm buying." Those involved in the DECA coop program also liked the way the class helped them with their jobs. "DECA helps me to learn how to treat my customers," said Debbie Spencer '86. " and I get really good ideas for starting a business of my own someday." In addition to the curriculum change, the DECA program improved when Kallie Mendenhall '86, was chosen as a state officer. "It was great to win. I have a lot of responsibilies," said Mendenhall, who was in charge of DECA public relations, Area 4, evaluations at the state conference, a state and area newsletter, and the chairmanship of the area conference . In addition to DECA changes, the business department improved when it moved into new rooms on the second floor of the new wing and soon added brand new furniture to all the rooms. "The L-shaped desks and swivel chairs help create more of an office atmosphere," said Pam Ziebarth, business teacher. Teachers and students alike enjoyed the new unity of the department. "I remember last year having almost all business classes and having to run all over the school," said Michelle Griffis '86. "This year, though, it's really convenient to have all the classes right next to each other." Deca, Business 53 WILL IT ST A Y?

Instead, they entertained thoughts of multi·colored paints, table carpet, drawer handles, and wood siding. With great care, they divided their pur· chases among their classmates in the Advanced Electronics class, who then transformed the dull electronics room into a colorful, comfortable classroom. Each bland, gray bench and set of drawers were painted a different color until the room became a bright kaleidoscope of colors. "Since we've been together for three years, we wanted to leave our mark and be remembered," said Church. "We also wanted to show our appreciation to Mr. Boylan for his commitment to making us learn even when we didn't want to." 54 Clubs & Classes INTERIOR DESIGNERS Matt Burke and Peter Church touch up their personal electronics benches.

U raftsmen, craftsmen get the jump on jobs For 10 weeks, Chris Rector '86, carefully sketched intricate plans of a two story house, fully equipped with an outdoor pool and a bubbling jacuzzi. Gradually, his pencil shaped the exact contours of the landscape, including every bush and tree and a quaint pond with a sprawling fountain. "It's exciting to draw plans for a house I may build for myself someday," said Rector. "The experience I'm getting through Advanced Drafting is extremely worthwhile because I plan to pursue a career in architecture." Like Rector, most students felt the experience they attained through advanced industrial arts courses helped to prepare them for a career. Advanced Woods students, for example, prepared themselves for a job by learning to work independently. While the whirring of drills reverberated through the hall and clouds of sawdust gathered in the air of the woods room, Cary Elliot '86, excitedly hammered the last nail into the second stereo speaker he built for his project. " It gave me so much self-satisfaction when I plugged in the speakers and they worked," said Elliot. " I know a future job will require that I rely on my own abilities. Accomplishing that project independently showed me that I will be able to survive in the working world."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As if this were not enough, the girls discovered they had left out several words when they gathered the letters. This error forced them to return to the building, fetch the forgotten words, and return to the shivering cold to finish their job. " It took hours before my fingers and toes thawed from frost bite, " said Brown. "After freezing that day, I'll never take for granted the information on the marquee ."

" Our chili feed got so busy we weren't able to heat the chili fast enough," sa id Nancy Wagner '87, Key Club president. " We fina lly carried individual bowls into the teachers' lounge and microwaved them. The chili feed brought a profit of $ 160 , $ 70 of which the group donated to the National Kidney Foundation. The rest of the profit helped members travel to Lincoln for the district convention. For three days, Key Club members from all over the midwest gathered to learn more about service and elect new officers. Passers by in the Holiday Inn during the election of officers saw a boy struggling to do push-ups while whistling Dixie, a girl conversing with a wall in pig-Latin, and a mummy smothered in toilet pape r. These scenes were not a cts in the Gong Show, but campa igns in the ca ucus, where Beth Tangeman '89, was voted district bulletin editor. " When I ran for treasurer, I had to play the piano with my toes and sing, " said Laura Keim '8 7. " Such things were designed to show how people pe rform under pressure ."

" We could read the uncertainty on the faces of the elderly when we walked in, but by the end of the day, their moods changed," said Lisa Christiansen '87. " It made me feel happy to know we made their day." National Honor Society also served others in unique ways. One night in October, after a cook-out at the house of sponsor Orville Miller, 20 members took to the streets of Council Bluffs. They dodged from house to house ask-. ing for an egg at one and selling it to the next for a dollar. " One lady thought we were pranksters when we asked her to buy an egg and she slammed the door in our faces," said Brad White '86. " Although people thought it was an odd fundraiser for NHS, we had fun. " The $ 113 made from the egg sale was used to finance the induction of new members and Hall of Fame members. Alumni honored in the Hall of Fame included Betty Abbott, first woman on the Omaha city council, Leo Myerson, founder of World Radio, and Matthew Tinley, nominated for U.S. vice-president. Other NHS services included decorating a Christmas tree in the Dodge House, changing the ma rquee, and tutoring students.

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

"Our goal was to make this year's Christmas dance the best yet," said Jill Pechacek '86, president. "We spent more than $1200 and had at least three times as many people he! ping as last year." Approximately 70 club members met in October at Pechacek's house for a casual party and planning session for the dance. "The party made things more personal and not so much like a meeting," said Libby Campbell '86. "It was fun and at the same time everyone worked and helped." The $900 raised from the dance was used to pay for all graduation needs, yearbooks, dance tickets, and school fees for the three foreign exchange students.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I thought they did great!" said Amy Crowl '86. " It's always fun to watch them knock off L.C., Tee Jay and St. Albert and take the city championship.

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

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

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

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

"When I found out I'd qualified for State, I kept hoping I'd finish in the top 20," said White. " I'm really proud to think I did in competition against the best runners in Iowa!" The teams sent balloons to White, and several even traveled to Ames to watch him compete. But White wasn't the only individual the teams supported. Again and again, team members spread out WITH A FEW FEET LEFT, Martha Fitch runs the last stretch of the Lewis Central course. The girls' team placed seventh in the invitational. along the course to root an individual on as he ran. But no amount of team support could make up for the lack of experience which led to the girls' 2-2 dual record. With no seniors competing and most of the team composed of sophomores and freshmen, the girls' team suffered two disappointing losses and placed last in several invitationals at the start of the season. Like the girls, the boys' team had its own obstacles to overcome. According to Freeman, the boys lacked a strong competitive spirit in the beginning, achieving only a 1-3 dual record. Weather was another obstacle runners had to hurdle. They pushed their bodies in the sweltering August heat, running up to six miles daily, and endured many runs in the rain. "At Metro, since it was pouring rain, the officials had the girls' and boys' race run simultaneously. We ran in clumps, dodging puddles and sloshing through the mud," said Susan Freeman '87. "When I think of it now, it seems sort of funny, but it wasn't at the time." Despite the many odds it faced, the cross country team ended its season by bringing home trophies from Missouri Valley, the Northwest JV Invitational, and Harlan. CROSS COUNTRY.

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

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

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

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

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

Her teammates laughed as she entered with smeared mascara and uncombed hair, dressed in her pajama top and black boots. At the next afternoon practice, all the starters but Pechacek disappeared into the locker room with Coach Dave Brown. When they emerged, each one was wearing a pair of boots. "We wanted to show her how funny she looked. When she walked in, it was the most hysterical sight. We thought it would be fun to mock her at practice," said junior starter Lisa Wilson. But the season wasn't all fun and games as the dedicated girls sweat out morning, weekend, and two-a-day practices; summer clinics, and Sunday distance running, all in preparation for Al's first girls' five-on-five season. And what a season it was, as six alternating starters led the way to a 15-7 record, the second best in history. Producing outstanding performances were "twin towers" Kristi Anderson '88 at 6'2" and Pechacek at 6'0. Anderson was rated third in Metro rebounding and scoring and second in field goal percentage while Pechacek rated seventh in free throw percentage. Anne Dryden '87, Jill McManigal '86, TRIPLE TEAMED by two unidentified Westside defenders and Number 23, Karen Renz, Toni Mcintosh launches a short jumper while Michelle Stone watches. Laura Roeder '86, and Wilson completed the starting line up. Highlights of the season included setting a record for least points allowed when the team smoked Tee Jay 64-24; defeating ninth ranked Papio; and upsetting third rated Millard North to earn the title of cochamps of the American Division. The Lady Lynx also held their own state ranking for three weeks. With only six upperclassmen to head the pack, these accomplishments were made possible by team closeness and a positive attitude. " Instead of trying to put 'us down, the upperclassmen would play with us and help us learn the plays. There were no grade barriers between us," said Toni Mcintosh '88. " The starters led the way, but we were always ready to come off the bench and play our role. " Brown developed a strong relationship with each of his players by holding individual conferences with each girl, hosting pizza parties for the team, and listening to personal problems. "I think the conferences helped a lot," said Anderson. " We got to know Mr. Brown better and he got to know us, too. We were more than just a coach and players; we were friends." While varsity boasted wins against rated teams, JV had a tougher time. Yet, they managed to gain needed experience and clench a 15-7 season under the leadership of co-captains Suzie Skipper '87, and Mcintosh. The freshman girls weren't as fortunate as they struggled through their first year of 5-on-5 to end with a 6-10 record. AIRBORNE.

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

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

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

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

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

TO TIE FOR FIRST, D'Lynn Conner clears the bar at 4'6" during a dual meet against Benson and South. " I thought making it to State was quite an achievement," said White, "considering I didn 't expect it since this was my first year out." Though neither placed, Craig Tracy '86, participated at State in the high jump and high hurdles, and Tracy Poe '86, participated in the shot put. The girls didn't do as well as the boys, placing in the top three in only two of their six invitationals. One reason for the mediocre season was the return of only one senior and a handful of upperclassmen. Girls had their best times at Districts but did not succeed in sending anyone to State, despite two competitors with potential to go. "I ran the 800-meter open at Districts, and cut about 11 seconds off my time, but still missed making it to State by two-tenths of a second," said AmY Seaman '87 . " If I hadn 't looked back 11 times, I would've made it." Another disappointment came when Zetta Brown '87 , who had gone to State the last two years, couldn't compete due to a pulled hamstring. " I was really upset at the time," she said, " but now I'm just hoping to make it next year." NOT QUITE OVER.

They started with the determination to be undefeated, added the quest for the Zenon Cup, and stirred in a lot of teamwork, finally ending the season with an outstanding 11-0-1 record. The team's goal was to win every game, and the only disappointment was tieing Tee Jay at C.B. Stadium. Both teams struggled to score, but neither had many opportunities because of exceptional defense. When the game ended in a 0-0 tie, the team's first objective was shattered. "Tieing Tee Jay was the biggest disappointment of the season," said Paul Vandenburg '87. "We played well and deserved to win." The tie didn't stop the team's winning streak, though, as the Lynx went on to steamroll Mt. Michael two times in a row, once 5-1 and then in the Zenon Cup playoffs 5-0. In the second game of the playoffs, the Lynx squeezed by Bellevue East 2-1 in overtime, which put them in the championship game against Tee Jay. This time the Lynx were out for revenge, and they were determined to show the Yellowjackets what they were made of in front of 700 spectators at C.B. WITH A BODY SHIELD, Shary Judkins prevents a Burke defender from stealing the ball. The Lynx later lost to Burke 8·0.

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

Soccer 107 A positive attitude gives me self confidence, and I run better. I lose a lot of energy when I get nervous." - Greg White '86. f you think you can, you can! Easy enough to say, but hard for an athlete to believe after missing the eighth shot in a row. Yet, according to psychologist Ron Johnson, an athlete's performance is 95 percent attitude . With this vital bit of information, any athlete should be able to go out and conquer the world. Right? Wrong. To achieve results from the " I think I can" philosophy, according to Johnson, a person must follow several steps. To improve its performance, the tennis team had Johnson attend practice and teach members the steps. " After missing a shot, a person often remembers what he did wrong. Rather than using this negativism, he should just say, 'I missed it,' and leave it at that! " Johnson said. "Feeling ashamed after missing a shot is understandable, but it isn't appropriate to extend this attitude to the succeeding shot, game, or so on." The next step was to disengage players' interest in winning and transfer it into doing as well as they could . "A player has no control over his opponent, only himself. If all he thinks of is winning, but his opponent has more skill, he becomes frustrated . Therefore, the goal to do his best would be more appropriate than winning," Johnson said. The third step Johnson taught the team was to utilize positive imaging or seeing and making the shot mentally . " Skill is almost wholly a mind activity. When you picture !'iOmething mentally and go through each motion, you can feel the muscles fir e inside, " Johnson said. The final step was for players to give themselves positive suggestions by saying, " l can." "Can gives an option, " continued Johnson. " It leaves the choice up to the individual! " Tennis team members felt Johnson's tips contributed to their conference championship. " Dr. Johnson helped our team a lot. Now if one player gets down, the team cheers her up by reminding her one shot isn't the whole match or one match the season, " said Kris Lippke '86. Tennis players weren 't the onl y ones who rated attitude up with practice as an ingredient of success. " Attitude is the key to performance ," said Carter Larson '86. Before Coach Emsick came, the football team always had a losing attitude. He changed that, showing us with positive imagery and thoughts that we could win. I'm 108 Sports Special Feature extremely small for my position, a tackle, but I don't give up or think I stand no chance just because other guys are bigger. I just give it my all." Softball coach Robert Pettepier agreed that attitude and skill contributed equally to performance. "During the '84 season, I had the most talented team I've ever coached. The first half of the season we had a 10-2 record , but suddenly the team members had an attitude change," said Pettepier. "At the start of the season, the girls played to have fun, but the last half, they became distracted by things going on in their lives - boyfriends and such - and many became upset because they thought they should have been playing a different position. As a result, we lost 13 games the last half of the season and tied one. I tried yelling, I tried reasoning, I even tried talking to them individually, but nothing made a difference ." Basketball players said their coaches also emphasized attitude . "Coach Kinney even handed out sheets with a saying about attitude that we were supposed to read every morning and night," said Todd Johnson '89, freshman basketball player. Girls' basketball coach Dave Brown felt so strongly about the effect of positive or negative signals he sent his players that he had observers come to practices and games and analyze these signals. "The way I come across has a direct bearing on how the team will perform. The signals I send set a tone for the game ," said Brown, who learned of the technique at district inservice meetings for coaches. No matter how hard coaches tri ed to keep spirits high, other players' attitudes strongly influenced athletes' performances. " It's hard to separate yourself from the team," said Peggy Streepy '88, soccer team member. "If everyone's down, it's not easy to say 'Come on, guys, we 're only behind 20 points, we can catch up. " But teammates had just as much power to lift each other up as to drag each othe r down . " In football we were always slapping people on the rear as a way of saying 'good job!' said Kerry Rasmussen '86. " It might look weird to the people in the stands, but it does a lot for team spirit. " WITH THE SMILE OF SUCCESS, Greg White crosses the finish line to take first in the AL-Tee Jay-Harlan track meet held at C.B. Stadium. White's winning attitude took him to State in both cross country and track. GATHERING A SECOND WIND, soccer players Denise Mackey and Jolie Schmoker encourage each other while heading back onto the field for the second half of t he AlTee Jay soccer game. FOR A POSITIVE OUTLOOK, Dr. Ron Johnson and Jim Walsh teach tennis players the final steps of attitude improvement at practice. Athletes' Attitudes 109 TOUGH TUGGERS.

Practicing the bassoon eight hours a week for three years proved well worth her time when Kim Capel '88, made the Omaha Youth Orchestra. Capel was one of 70 out of 250 ninth through twelfth graders selected for this honor. "Playing with some of the best musicians in the metro area has helped me to become a more wellrounded musician, " said Capel. While Capel exercised her musical talents, Hoang Nguyen '89, discovered his talents when he took the 1986 Math Exam just to see how he would compare with others and placed fifth out of 61 students, 49 of whom were seniors and juniors. "The test score has encouraged me to consider a career in a math-related field," said Nguyen. Like Nguyen, Steve Brewer '86, based his career goals on academic talents. After winning numerous newspaper awards, Brewer was recommended for the Nonpareil Student Press Corps and wrote weekly school-related news stories for the paper. "The job has been a great experience," said Brewer, who planned to major in public relations. "It's taught me not to procrastinate. " Candi Moore '87, based her goals on athletic talents.

Jill Bintz '87, was signing a yearbook when Melanie Ferris '87, offered her a lick of ice cream and a ccide nta lly smeared it in her eye. " I was looking down, so evidently she couldn't see where my mouth was. There was mascara in the ice cream and ice cream all over my face a nd on my contacts. It was a total disaster!" said Bintz. . . . Jeff Christensen '8 7, got up to dump his tray and J ohn Cox '87, tripped him, sending Christensen and a n empty milk carton across the lunchroom. FOR A LITTLE MIDDAY FUN, Melanie Lov· stad can't resist forcing Taryn Bixler to take a big bite of her vanilla ice cream. " I looked up and the next thing I knew, I was on the floor, " said Christensen. " My face must have turned bright red because my friends harrassed me for weeks! " . . . The fire alarm was set off by an unidentified student and everyone in fourth lunch had to abandon their trays, leaving about 200 stray trays. "My friends and I didn't know what to do when the bell started ringing, so we just la ughed and watched everyone leave their tray," said Marsha Fehr '87. " It looked realty funny when all those trays sat there with no one eating off them." WITH A BOUQUET OF BALLOONS, Sarah Smock is surprised by friends on her birthday.

"The entire crowd laughed at me," said Shaw. "My face turned red from the embarrassment, but mostly from pain!" David Tanous '86, and Scott Pleake '86, dressed as strippers and when the band played, they started ripping off their clothes. Tanous was down to printed shorts before assistant principal Mike Messerli stopped him. "The crowd went crazy! They couldn't believe we did it," said Pleake . "It was a blast because everyone got so riled up! " . . . A group of sophomores threw a frozen fish on St. Albert's court and when St. Albert yelled, "We want fish," AL replied "You got fish!" "Everyone thought it was hilarious and it made the game an exciting one to remember," said Nancy Butts '87. "Now it seems it will be a sophomore tradition to throw one every year." . . . Tracy Machmuller '87, J. V. cheerleading captain, yelled "Ready?" to begin a cheer, and the entire squad replied "No way!"

Instructor Chris Wahl's English 7-8 class was getting ready to listen to classical music and write in their journals when Brad White '86, put a hard rock tape in the cassette and turned the volume up to high.

"The worst part was that a group of guys were watching." Renee Rocheleau '86, took up three handicap parking spaces during a Monday night choir practice and Craig Faust '87, called the cops as a joke, saying old people had nowhere to park. Rocheleau rescued her car from a ticket just in time. "I couldn't believe someone would park like that when there were a million spaces available," said Faust.

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

"My parents' biggest protest is about my curfew," said Scott Flickinger '89. " Every Friday night it's the same old thing. They want me home by 11, but I want to stay out until at least 12:30. They never give in, and this causes me to have fights with them every weekend.'' Others found their parents to be more concerned with grades than anything. " My parents put a lot of emphasis on my grades, and when I got a bad American Studies grade, they were really upset," said D'Lynn Conner '89.

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

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

For some, a headstart on high school meant a headstart in certain classes. " There are a lot more classes offered than in junior high," said Scott Sanders '89. "I'm in debate, but I wouldn't have had this opportunity if the switch hadn't been made. " More opportunities in sports also were available. "By playing freshmen basketball, I'm getting the opportunity to have better coaches and better experience for JV at AL," said TO PROVE A POINT, Vickie Gilman, Julie .

"I'm in German Club and German wasn't even offered at Kirn. " All in all, freshmen found they were getting an extra year of all the things that make high school fun. " I really like the fact that we are part of AL as freshman, because there are so many people and more friends," said Sheryl Anderson '89.

Bumming rides from friends was a less embarrassing alternative, but often it was an inconvenient one. " I feel really bad asking my older friends to take me places," said Abby Wilmarth '89.

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

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

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

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

"I sometimes feel my reason for starting it was selfish," said Rollings. "But you just can't imagine the feeling when someone tells you your child is gone." The first location for the teen club was the South Seventh Recreation Center, but opening night attracted only 80 kids. Organizers of the club called it the Missouri Compromise because it was close to the river and provided a compromise for kids. Rollings then moved to Murphy's Auction Barn, a larger, better known place, and hired the band ESR in hopes of interesting more kids. But a turnout of 100 kids still wasn't what Rollings expected. So the founders conjured up yet another hot-spot, the Old Kirn Gym. Jeff Kraft and Dave Tanous '86, disc-jockeyed and pulled in a whopping 240 teens, but they were mostly 13 and 14 year olds.

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

Lasting only 11 and a ha lf minutes, the raid killed 37 Libyans in an attempt to thwart Khadafy's reign of terror which intelligence sources found responsible for the murder of nearly 900 innocent people . Reagan received rave reviews back home from countrymen tired of hijackings and suicide bombings. "Khadafy's terrorism left us no other choice but to retaliate to secure American interests abroad," said Mark Schonberg '86. " I'd go to Libya myself and fight for our national integrity. " But only three American allies, Britain, which allowed F11 's to use English bases, Canada, and Israel supported the raid .

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

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

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

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

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

St. Albert's twentieth anniversary was upon us. It was a time to reflect on perhaps the single-most influential factor in our development, the time spent at St. Albert Central Catholic High School. Throughout the following pages of St. Albert's twentieth anniversary edition of DIMENSIONS, we focused our attention on who we were, and who we would become. We captured the essence of St. Albert by realizing the past and dreaming about the future . In cherishing the past, we realized the struggles, challenges, and accomplishments of those who walked the halls of Sr. Albert before us: past facu lty and administrators, and the students who gathered heri: f r an education that was "A step above the rest." In embracing the future, we recognized the Employees of Hawkins Construction Company began to lay the fou ndation of the school's gymnasium in July of 1963. One of two fir trees planted in front of the main entrance twenty yea rs ago, was only 4-feet ta ll. Twenty yea rs later and twenty feet taller, the fir towers above the main entrance. 2/Theme hopes and dreams th at wo uld ca rr y us through the rest of our lives. With a solid high school education behind us, we could strive fo r the best in ourselves and reach fo r the highest star. This is what we, the 1986 DIMENSIO NS staff, have tried to remember to do. Cherish the past . . . Embrace the fu ture. Kelly Blu m '86 accepts communion from Fr. Hurley at the Homecoming mass. Embrace the Future Fr. Daniel Deleham checks over the school's newly built science lab before the school opened. Theme/3 herish the Past On April 15, 1963, 150 people gathered at the top of a quiet hill to take part in the groundbreaking which symbolized the commencement of construction for St. Albert The Great Central Catholic High School. This school has had a much greater impact on the Catholic Community of Council Bluffs than was ever anticipated by its founders. The doors opened in 1964, and St. Albert's first student body was a coinstitutional class of freshmen only. Those students, along with dedicated teachers and administrators began the tradition of academic excellence with an emphasis on religious teaching, spiritual unity, and unsurpassable school spirit. That unity and spirit continued, and the Class of '86 is now ready to assume their place among the ranks of proud alumni. Lori Phelps, '86 said, "I feel that I have left all of my friends and the special closeness of the school, and also some really great teachers." Kelly Blum, '86 said, "More than anything, I'm leaving behind my close friends that I've spent great times with during my high school years." Both would agree, however, that good-by is not a term used among friends. So as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we carry on the tradition that began with the Class of '66. Yet, the Class of '86 will leave behind a part of them that will be carried on by future generations. This is the true tradition. And this is how the quiet foothill has been transformed into a mountain of memories and love that will be cherished forever. A new member of St. Albert's facu lty welcomes a group of students in late August, 1964. Monsignors Thomas]. Costin, Thomas ].

Construction for "Mall of The Bluffs" began in 1985 . ~-- ~-~!:-- .-;:...;~ ..... ,,Q, ' ... - ~- . . Looking into the future seemed to be scary, but as the future became reality, happy and sad times took the place of being frightened. Jacque Slater, '88, who wasn't frightened about the future said, "My goal in life is to have a career in medicine, or maybe become the first woman President of the United States. Vote for me!" The first day of kindergarten was a day parents looked forward to with reluctance. But as time passed and people grew, the future became something to look forward to ... because it was the beginning of the rest of our lives. Troy Hemmingsen, '89 has already started to dream about his future. "I really want a ·t: mbrace The Future ......-::;__ ·- ,,,-- . - --- .:::...:_~~ _-::- -- - --- - - - - - break in show business - even at my age," he said. "I love to sing and dance, and I'm crazy about '50's music." Graduation seemed to be a stepping stone on the road to the future , and many people didn't know exactly where they would be going or what they would be doing, and that was scary. Karl Rohling, 'S6 remained optimistic, however. 'T d like to get a degree in aerospace engineering, veterinarian medicine, or law," he said. 'Td like to go to Notre Dame or somewhere in the east, because I'm searching for a little more cultured atmosphere. That's probably because I'm kind of unique and I like trying new things." Theme/ 7 Student Life he Bond of Friends Will Last Forever "Two who walk a road together walk farther than someone alone." A friend helps pull you over those sky-high mountains in your path through life ... and helps pull you out of the chuckholes too. They are there when all you need is a hug and a smile, and they undesstand that need. Friends can dry up tears and somehow make the sun shine again. Friends share your disappointments and your victories. They understand how much that game meant, and they know just how to celebrate your eighteenth birthday with style. High school memories are made with your best friends - freezing football games, doubling to dances, cruising broadway, cramming for finals, and that frantic last day of school. For the Class of '89 this was the first year to walk that road, and along that journey they will make the memories that they will cherish forever. The Class of '86 came to the end of their road. This was the last year to make those memories, and the first for promises of "We'll keep in touch." But even if we are not together in body, we will always be friends in spirit. We will carry with us fo rever, the memories and the love as we travel down the road .. . together. 8/Studenr Life Friendship has always been impo rtant to the srudenrs of St. Albert, as demonstrated by these coeds in 1964. Teachers and students can be close fri ends too. Maria Papazian, '86 smil es pleasantl y as art teacher, Deb McGuire stops to say "hi ." Ronni Martin, ·ss. Penny Ramirez, '87, and Ann Petersen, '87 say, "Smile, we're all friends he re1" Candidates fo r "Queen Frenchtoast" J ack ie Leggio, '86 and Tammy J ones, also '86, embrace as they nea r t he " top five." Friendship/ CJ Gett in Into the 60' s Groove Every year there is a change in fashion. Styles come and styles go. The 1960's "look" was resurrected in the 1980's. Bobbed hairstyles along with flattops, stirrup pants, straight skirts, and plain white canvas tennis shoes were constantly seen. "I go with the GQ/Preppy look, whatever is in style," said Dan Poole, '87. Unisex dressing was a very popular trend in the 1985-86 school year, and girls were seen wearing their fathers' old sweaters and shirts. Laurie Nettles, '86 commented, "I love clothes and I wear whatever I want, not just because it's in!" Shoes' Snoes! Shoes! Shoe styles varied from paisley print to wricren·on tennis shoes! JO/Fashion Big and long were the key words for 1985- 86, demonstrated in oversized sweaters and long skirts as the new fads. Frequently seen prints were paisley and pl.ml. Many students checked out local thrift scores for cheap cardigans, trench coats, and old-fashioned jewelry. "I feel people should wear whatever they want and what they are most comfortable in," said Chad McDermott, '88. Whatever "look" srudents at St. Albert chose, they definitely had fun wearing what was best for them! Students from 1965 show-off their interpretation of style. A familia r sight in 1985-86 - stirrup pants! "We" ve got style!

Weekends T.G.I.F., "Thank God Ir's Friday," was a phrase that echoed in school hallways everywhere from 1966 and 1986. The weekend was that two and a half-day rime warp that allowed us to recharge our minds and bodies after a week of mental, academic, and social pressure. Ir was a rime to rest and relax, yet everyone wanted to cram as much as possible into that little cocoon of rime. Activities ranged from arhleric events, dares, movies, parries, cruising, shopping, or just reading a good book. The list was endless. Jason Smith '89 said, "Weekends give me a chance 'to get away' after a long week and be with friends that I don't have classes with or that go to other schools." Howeve r the time was spent, everyone seemed to be revived on Monday; ready to tackle a new week, and muddle through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and finally, Friday, again. Lynne Murray '86 said, "Ir's nor that I don't want to be in school over the weekend roo, bur cruising up and down Broadway on Friday and Saturday nights gives my life that little extra plus!!" 12/Weekends Dawn Ri ckard ·ss catches up on missed sleep-time Satu rday morning, due t0 a busy week at school.

Juggling Jobs Is No Joke For students at St. Albert, weekends have been, and always will be, a time to wind down, relax, and take a break from the pressures of the school week. But for a growing number of students, it was a time to climb out of those St. Albert uniforms and into work uniforms. While your friends were looking forward to games, parties, and sleeping in, you were looking forward to long hours, hats that never seemed straight, and rushing through the front door just in time to punch in and realize you had forgotten your name tag. There were advantages to joining the working force , such as making new friends, learning responsibility, and new skills, and the pay-check as the result of your efforts. And, said Barb Osborne '87, employ.ed at Tastee Treat, "Work takes your mind off school." Rob Hunter '88, employed at the Crescent Lounge, fo und another advantage. "I like the opportunities to chase women!" But the disadvantages were not to be overlooked either. Long and/or late hours could leave a student behind in homework, and many found their grades falling. Said Kevin McGinn '87, employed at the Madison Hy-Vee store, "I never get off work wh n I am upposed to, so it gets in the way of my grad~s." The advantages and disadvantages of holding a part-time job were the same fo r St. Albert students today as St. Albert students of the past. It all came down to deciding what was best for you.

(!)nee a Fad • • • Always a Fad Since the beg inning of high school, students have found some place to go after school and on weekends to meet their friends and eat. They go to relax and have fun . Connie Ravlin, "8 ~, for example, said, "I like Burger King because that's where the good-looking g uys are. It's funn y laughing at the nerds and I, of cou rse, like the fries and the shakes." The place to go has changed quite a bit over the years since St. Albert opened. Back in 1966, Ewalds was THE place to go. It offered food , fun , and friends. It was a hangout to go see who was with whom, show off souped-up cars, or just to drive past to be seen. Over the yea rs this changed , and accord ing to a poll of 100 St. Albert students, Burger King was the "in" place to go in 1986. "It's the place to meet new, fun, and exciting people," affirmed _Su Niebur, '86. Popular foods, drinks, and nice restaurants changed also. Students enjoyed eating at Pizza Hut and drinking a soda. They also enjoyed going to Maxine's for their special dates. Lisa Evers, '87, likes Maxine's because it it neat, rich-looking, and classy. Karen Menges, '86 says that Burger King is out for her, but that Maxine's is definitely in. Fads from 20 years ago came back, however, and cheap hamburgers and Cherry Coke once again were in demand. And some things should never change ' The makers of Coca-Cola found out the hard way. They removed the original flavor Coke from the market and public outcry forced the re-introduction of"Classic Coke." Teens now had their choice of Classic Coke, or any of the varieties top-competitor, Pepsi Cola had to offer. The "in" place to go will never stay the same, it changes with the changing generations. But the need for a place to go to have fun and meet with friends will never change . .. Once a fad , always a fad. Homecoming Hilarity '85 Each year, Homecoming reminds us of past years and the experiences du ring those years. This year, students kept tradition and also added a few new ideas. As all the alumni before them, students began their Homecoming week with special activities. Beginning on September 30, students chose the theme "Wild 'n Crazy," and dressed up in costumes from housewives to rock stars. On "Toga Tuesday," students participated in the Roman tradition of wrapping themselves in sheets. Wednesday, the students dressed as "Opposites," with the girls digging through their dads' closets and the guys sc rounging something of their mothers' that would fit them. St. Albert pride and spirit was shown on Thursday by wearing green and gold for "Spirit Day." Friday, students dressed up in their Sunday best and joined together in the gym for the annual Homecoming mass celebrated by Fr. Kiernan. Thursday night at the pep rally the Homecoming Court was recognized. The new royalty was Queen Lynne Murray, and her court, Amy Geier, Ann Henderson, Tammy Jones, Kim Mauer, and Maria Papazian. King Ed McGill was attended by Korey Culjat, Vince Rew, Karl Rohling, Rex Romano, and J eff ~hu dak . Special activities were also held at the football field. Class contests were held, bur floats were nor built this year. Student Council President, Vince Rew, said, "floats were a waste of time, effort, and money fo r rhe few who participate in them." 18/Scudenc Life This seemed to be the general feeling, though some students did ob ject to breaking the tradition. Falcon fans filled the bleachers Friday evening to cheer the foorball players on tO a 10-6 victory over Cathedral. The special week ended on Saturday night with the Homecoming Dance, held in the gym with the music of Soundsa tional.

On Saturday, December 14, the annual journalism-sponsored Christmas Dance was held. This year's theme was "Mistletoe Magic!" The cafeteria was decorated with streamers, balloons, and mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. You might even say that a few of the students took advantage of the mistletoe. "If I was a parent, I'd rather have my kid making out at a school dance and not in the back seat of a car," said senior Maria Papazian, in defense of the public display of affection (better known at pda). As usual, the breathalizer was ready and waiting for any students suspected of intoxication, but happily, no one was questioned. Music was supplied by Soundsational and pictures were raken by Jack Holder. This year's chaperones were Mike Kavars, Jeannette Schultz, Fr. Robert Hoeffler, Crsula Tetzlaff, Jonna Andersen, Sister Mary Kay, and Marilyn Wandersee. Christmas, as most people agree, is a very busy and fun-filled season. With all the excitement going on it's really a neat experience to see the SA students get together with their friends and enjoy an early Christmas bash! All in all, it appeared that most of the students were really having a good tim , and the evening was filled with early Christmas spirit! "I had a lot of fun, and I thought it was really neat," said senior Susie Bartholomew.

" For many students this year at St. Albert, they would say, "send 'em a flower," which is exactly what many of them did. Again this year, the varsity cheerleaders sold carnations with a message attached for $1 and valentines for 50¢. A white carnation represented a lasting friendship, pink symbolized an innocent crush, and red - true love. Making all of those special valentines took a lot of hard work, but the general consensus from the cheerleaders was, "It was well worth it!" They spent first and second periods delivering flowers and valentines to to all the love-struck victims of the cupid 's arrow. Even though the valentine sales profit was lower this year than usual, spirits were high and smiling faces were seen throughout the halls of the school on Friday the 14th. Along with the carnations and valentines, many students received balloon-a-grams and various other tokens of affection from family, friends, or sweethearts from other schools. The Valentine Dance, hald February 7, was another special day. Following tradition, it was a gi~ls ask guys dance and the turnout was good. If you missed out or forgot about Valentine's Day this year, you missed guite arrear. Bur there is always next year to show the one you love just how much you care.

The fun continued as prommers feasted at the Post-Prom-Party-Breakfast hosted by junior class parents. Door prizes were awarded at all of the events, ranging from gift certificates to cash prizes to a black and white television set. The prom was brought to a memorable close as srudents celebrated the mass together. The focus of the event was for parents and stu - dents to be in partnership and to "live to see the dawn.'" Support to this concept was the signing of a contract to "celebrate straight.

Prom/27 Organizations and Academics Cherish the Knowledge Embrace the Wisdom Teachers and administrarors began a selfstudy prepararory tO the North Central Association evaluation, better known as the NCA. The evaluations allow schools to take a good hard look at themselves and see where they need to improve, or to determine what they are doing right. The NCA then follows up by sending a team of evaluators to further assist the school. By taking part in such a process, (which takes nearly two years), St. Albert rook positive steps to improve in specific areas, particularly academics. Upgrading academics is not the only priority for St. Albert. Preparation for life after hig h school is, and always has been, an important facet. of the educational process. Student organ1 zattons and academics are partners in that preparation. Some people think they are just clubs to belong to because you r friends do, or maybe because membership in them makes you more popular. Some students think extracurrirnlar activities look impressive on college applications or on job resumes. . Many people think that joining an organizatton is too time consuming, but really it is an opportunity to do something for your school or even for your community. Getting to know 28/0rganizations and Academics people and having an enjoyable time, and yet accomplishing something for someone else is also motivation to join. Some organizations like National Honor Society or Quill and Scroll are selective, and therefore, a privilege to be accepted into. You're not chosen just for grades, but also for leadership and service to your community. Membership in these organizations, of course, does look impressive o n college applications, but the most important reason for belonging is to help students be - come better individuals. Many organizations have changed over th e years. For example, cheerleading try-o uts were held twi ce this year instead o f once, allowing more girls to participate. Also, student council became involved in decision-making with ad - ministrators. Rick Colpitts, a 1979 grad uate of Sr. Albert said , ""The organizations now are better and there are more of them now than when I was in school." As each year goes by, the groups grow and change. In another few yea rs who knows what metamorphosis will take place ? The important thing to remember is that the g rowth expe rience provided in organizations and academics will never change.

They organized the kick-off of the magazine drive, including an assembly to boost our spirit and make salespeople out of all of us. Student Council president, Vince Rew, even vowed that if he didn't sell six magazines, he'd dress up in a girl's uniform for a week. They sponsored all the homecoming festivities, including the fun-filled pep rally and dance. The Student Council, through the years, has always been an important part of St. Albert. They were a connection between the student body and the administration. The Student Council suggested many ideas that would never have come to be without their help. Barb Osborne said, "The Student Council has done more this year than any other, and the people are more involved." The Rev.James Kiernan, Student Council sponsor, said, "The Student Council, unlike the past years, has actually held the position of a student council. They have taken a consultative position to the administration. I was impressed with the quality of the officers. They have been responsive and concerned with the people and put in a lot of time." Besides Rew, other officers were vice-president, Rex Romano and secretary-treasurer, Ann Henderson. Kiernan said, "Student Council really became a positive part of St. Albert, and showed this through their many accomplishments." And oh, by the way folks, Rew did sell his six magazines. 30/0rganizations and Academics Freshman Stu dent Co uncil member, Brian Ratigan, with the help o f good budd ies, Brian O ' o nnor and T roy Hemmingsen, give solid support to Steve O berd in who demo nstrates how to p ut yo ur head in a hoop.

Hurley as an honorary member, and presented him with a NHS pin and plaque for his dedication and service. On April 2, a second ceremony was held for two students who were unable to attend the first ceremony. Vice-president of NHS Lisa Claussen, secretary Norene Smith, treasu rer Su Nie bur and Teresa Andress each gave a speech on the fo ur qualities that a NHS member must possess - scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Two days later another scholastic team was testing their abilities. The St. Albert Brain Bowl team competed at Peru, Nebraska. This special gro up of people received little recognition for rhe rime and effort spent on their 'sport'. Team members were juniors Troy Holmberg and Dan Simon; seniors Teresa Andress, Karl Rohling, Scott Hoffman, J ames Sebg hati, David Smyth, and Gigi Varner. Coach J ames DeMott is a three-year veteran. Senior Gigi Varner thought Brain Bowl was fun even though they only competed once . David Smyrh and Karl Rohling, who were dubbed the "Twin Towers", led the Brain Bowl to a strong victory at Peru . Brain Bowl and HS/ 33 Journalism Deadlines & Dedication • • • Copy, layouts, phoros and deadlines are all essential parts of putting rogether an informative newspaper and yearbook. But people are the key ingredient. With a new year came new ideas, and the administration approved the offering of two journalism classes. This also allowed some juniors tO hold editorial positions. Sue Hotz '86, said, "It's great because they gain experience for next year." Having two classes also allowed for a growth experience for beginners. After the first semester, the junior students tried their wings in production and began t0 contribute tO both newspaper and yearbook. Unlike many schools.who support separate staffs, SA journalism students produced both the yearbook and newspaper, causing numerous time conflicts and additional stresses. Dan Simon "87, sa id , "J ournalism can be a ve ry time consuming activity. But that time is necessary to put out top class productions." Journalism, like many other field s, requires a certain amount of specialization. Graphics, for instance, is a talent that is inva luable. Matt Mullin spent many hou rs designing layouts and graphics fo r both the ACCIPITER and DIMENSIONS. Mullin '87, sa id, ··r enjoyed drawing, so journalism gave me a chance tO explore new areas." Sue Horz was the roken senior in the beginning journalism class. She contributed her typing skills, which put her in great demand among the junior students. New journalism students nor only improved their writing abilities by in itiating and wming their own articles, but gained valu able experience by conducting their own interviews and doing research to get the complete story to their readers.

The familiar face of Diane Guill was missing, bur a new advisor, Jeannette Schultz, was on the scene. This was her first year of reaching. "'For starring our primarily as an English reacher, I think I've really come a long way in journalism, even though I have a very long way to go," she said. "This year has been a great learning experience for me." One of the changes this year was a split of the class. Senior editors were in one class and junior co-editors were in the other class. For some, this worked our very well, while others found it almost impossible to cope with. With a spirit of cooperation, by the end of the year it all worked out well. The yearbook and newspaper staffs both worked hard and used their special creativity. Fewer editions of the newspaper were published this year, but not because newspaper is less important than yearbook. Because of the ongoing nature of yearbook on a daily basis, it gets more publicity. SA takes a great deal of pride in its publications, and because of this pride, many students continue ro get involved in journalism. One area of involvement is Quill and Scroll Honor Society, an organization for outstand - ing journalists. To be an active member, a student must be a junior or senior in the uppe r third of their class ranking at the rime of selection, and must display outstanding qualities in their school publications. Quill and Scroll members are recommended by the teacher-advisor, and the secretary-treasu rer of the national organization. St. Albert had two current members for the year, Norene Smith and Lisa Skow, and on Monday, April 4, a warm welcome was extended to new members, Michelle Blizzard, Theresa Burkey, Joelle Corbaley, Bonnie Ficek, Dan Simon, and Maureen Wickham.

These are three words that describe the 1985-86 Junior/ Senior High concert and pep band at St. Albert High School. "I look forward to band everyday, and our audiences at games and concerrs really seem to enjoy our performances," said Lisa Claussen '86. The band consisted of eighteen junior high members and sixteen senior high members. They performed under the direction of George "Kip" Kippley. "Mr. Kippley had a knackfor drawing out the band's full potential," said Dave Zimmerman '88. The band continued to make marked improvement under Kippley's direction. The pep band was seen performing at various pep rallies, football and basketball games. The concert band performed their annual winter and spring concerrs along with the concert choir and Les Musiques. Throughout the year, selected members tried out and were chosen for various honor bands and contests in Southwest Iowa and Nebraska. This year students participated in the U.N.O. Honor Band, the Southwest Iowa Honor Band Association (SWIBA), and the Nebraska Centennial Conference (NCC), which was held in the St. Albert gymnasium. There were many changes in the music department that were very beneficial for the students. The budget for the department was increased providing for new pep band music, jazz-chart , concert pieces, and repairing damaged instruments. Fundraisers were also organized throughout the year to help cover expenses. Th e regular third-h our band class was changed to the longer fourth -hour period, allowing for more practice time , and for junior high members to join the senior high for some practice sessions. For the first time in many years, officers were elected. Tim Fields '87 was elected president, Shirley Tobias '86 held the office of vice-president, Susan Ord '87 was elected secretary, and Ron Mueller '87 was made treasurer. Two librarians were elected. They were Dawn Zimmerman '87 and Tammy Lesline '89. St. Albert pep and concert bands continue to strive for excellence in entertainment, spirit, enthusiasm, and pep.

Along with excellent direction and music, the choir's size increased from 12 ro 48 in one semester. Concert Choir sang for all school masses, Nebraska Centennial Conference at Boysrown, All City Vocal Festival, Christmas and .Spring Concerrs, and State Music Contest for solo performances. Choir members elected Theresa Book '86, as president. "I really enjoy singing - that's the best way for me ro express myself," said Book. "After being in Concert Choir for four years, I've gotten a !or of music rips from three different teachers; Mrs. Coughlin, Miss Darnell, and finally, Mr. Kippley." Another busy group was the t. Albert Swing Choir known as the Les Musiques. All through the year they performed at nursing homes, funerals, alter and rosary society meetings, and of course, the Annual Christmas Concert on December 15 and the Spring Concert on May 4. A few of the song and dance numbers performed by the group were, "Time to Believe In Our Dreams," "Be What You Wanr To Be," and "On Our Own." This year's group consisted of freshmen Matt Fenner, Peggy McGinn, Troy Hemmingsen, Sheila Berhendsen, and J oAnn Whetstone; sophomores Dana Nielsen and Jona thon Johnson; juniors Julie Gubbels and Melissa Stidham; and seniors Theresa Book, Jackie Leggio, and Laurie Nettles.

Due to a magic spell cast by character Puck, both men, Demetrius and Lysander, fa ll head over heels for Helena, after both were in love with Hermia. With the other characters, Thesius, Egeus, Titania, and Felicia, the play is a very humorous twist of love and romance. The cast and crew loaded up on J anuary 11 , to the annual NCC Conference at Boystown to be critiqued in order to prepare for district competition. On Satu rday, J anuary 25, they road-tripped to Glenwood, Iowa for district competition. They received a I rating which is the score required to go to state competition. Finally, the big day came on Saturday, February 8. This year, state competition was held at TJ and AL, here in Council Bluffs. The SA drama department was assigned to AL at 9:00 a.m. Here they also received a I rating. The cast also presented the show on Thursday, February 6, during Catholic Schools Week for a live audience.

What better way to learn about God than through religion classes. At St. Albert, religion is a part of our daily life. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all required co take religion classes. Each year has a different course and view on religion. Karla Miller '89, said, "I like frosh religion because it brings us closer to God and teaches us about the Old Testament and the people in that time." New Testament and church celebration bring a new view. "Religion is a fun class. It's a great experience for a young Catholic," said Maureen O'Gara '88. Juniors took Jesus and justice classes. Angel Howlett '87, said, "I like Mr. Koester's religion class. It's fun and down to earth." The senior year required classes are morality and relationships. Sue Hotz '86, said, "Fr. Kier. nan's relationships course is a very interesting cla s and I really like the group discussions." "Not only classroom work, but retreats, field trips, and guest speakers helped us learn more about God," said Bonnie Ficek '87.

When the heck am I ever going to use geometry proofs in my lifetime ? Maybe I should just be a bum and scrounge off mom and dad the rest of my life. " This reflects the sentiments of many St. Albert High School students involved in this year's math and science curriculum. Both departments are generally characterized to include many college prep courses, and the students generally enter these classes with expectations of a certain amount of difficulty. As senior chemistry student Jeff Shudak put it, "Mr. Beckman (first-year science department rookie) kind of scared us in the beginning of the year by saying that it would be extremely difficult, but it turned out to be less tough than I expected." Teaching in the science department with Beckman are Terry Dolnicek, biology and Kris Wiley, physical science. Mike Masker '87 found biology to be challenging. He said, "It's a lot harder than previous science classes, but we get more freedom to do experiments, labs, and that sort of stuff." Some of S.A.'s students had to go over the parking lot and through the woods to A.L. for science and math courses. Gigi Varner '86 is one of those people. Calculus student, Varner, explained the difference between S.A.'s and A.L 's math, "I thought they (the A.L. students) would be much more advanced, but I found out that we're just as much, if not more, prepared for a college prep class as they were. " This often had been the case throughout the years, which leads us back to the preparation students have while in the St. Albert math department headed by Konnie Wiegman (Alg I, II, and Geom.) and Caroline Swartz (Alg I, II, Trig, and Consumer Math). This department has provided a good backg round for students going on in higher math courses. Trig student, Cris Schmitz '86 summed it up best, "The class is very challenging, but Mrs. Swartz tries to explain it the best she can to aid us in our confusion." Mach and Science/47 English 'n Effort Go Hand-in-Hand "I ain't got no pencil to do my work," shouted Slappin' Slow Sid. Priscilla Perfect then gave Sid a pencil to do his English assignment. Reluctantly, Sid began the essay. He didn't really care to work much in that class, and his explanation was that by sixth hour everyday he was too tired. But really now, what kind of an excuse is that) Behind Sid sat Brainy Brian who always had the right answers and spoke so "fluentl y." Finally one day, Sid got motivated and decided to apply himself, and before long he enjoyed his English class. Unfortunately, not all cases are like this. At St. Albert the English department consists of: literature, composition, speech, and English courses. In · these classes the students learn how to write a sentence correctly, give an effective speech, write a term paper, or read about some of the famous people who have written some of America's finest literature. English class can be a lot of fun if you allow it co be, and it helps if you have a caring teacher. Most students would probably agree, however, classes are what each individ ual makes them. 48/0rganizations and Academics Attentively reiding her American Literature assignment is Maureen Daly '87.

SA AL Sharing Competing With Class St. Albert and Abraham Lincoln High Schools have long been rivals on the court, on the field , and on the track. There was a time when the students of both schools joined together and worked, however, and that was in the classroom. Students of St. Albert have been provided with a good solid base on which to further their education, but unfortunately, SA was unable to provide calculus and advanced chemistry. Several students commuted to AL every day to rake advantage of these classes. Gigi Varner '86, one such student, said, "I thought when I went for classes at AL I would not be as smart as the students there. I found out that we are just as advanced as they are, we just don't have as many opportunities for higher classes as they do." She explained how well SA students were treated and that the time students spent together broke down many preconceived notions they held about each other. Driver's education was also offered to SA students through AL classes. Because it is a required course, sophomores spent one semester trying to get through the demanding course which meant license or no license. The curriculum consisted of use of a simulator, actual driving, and in-class study. Using computerized cars, students were faced with life and death situations depicted on film, and they reacted accordingly. They were given scores depending on reaction times and use of proper procedures in each simulation. Once students made it through pop quizzes and simulated collisions, their skills were tested in real ca rs. Two common problems were telling the difference between Woodbury Avenue and 1-80 entrance ramps, and remembering to buckle seat belts. The importance of seat belts was constantly stressed (with good reason). At the end of the year, a gruesome but true film was shown to reinforce lectures. Tim Fields '87, said, "The movie made a deep impression on me. It was rough watching people die and know that it actually happened. It was even worse to know that it could just as easily happen to me." Approximately 24 students take advantage of drive r's-ed classes each semester. In reciprocity, SA opened its doors to AL students in the afternoon to take a computer class taught by Scott Belt. The rivalry between SA and AL will undoubtedly continue, but within it a fellowship has grown inside and outside the classroom.

Gloria McDaniel, Spanish teacher, scru ms her guitar while singing a song from Espana. "Hola! Como Estas ?" Translated that means, "Hi! How are you? " in Spanish. Along with the new students at St. Albert this year, a new Spanish teacher joined the faculty. Gloria McDaniel, who taught Spanish I, II, III and IV, took the place of Kathy Thomsen who left to teach at Lewis Central. McDaniel livened up her classes by bringing her guitar and teaching the class to sing songs from Espana. Although Spanish isn't a required course, many people chose it as an elective because most colleges require two years of a foreign language. Some of the requirements also changed in the Social Studies Department. Contemporary history, which was once an elective course, was made mandatory. The curriculum for social studies in high school now requires the freshmen to take world history; sophomores U.S. history; and juniors were allowed the choice of taking contemporary history either of their last two year . Spanish and social studies had an increase in enrollment this past year because more students became inte rested in what was happening around them. As one student put it, "It's kind of · nice to know if you watch the news, where the countries are that they talk about and maybe a little about their culture."

The second annual Business Law Mock Trial, under the supervision of Rick Colpitts, was held again this year. It was a lot of fun for everyone participating, especially for the defense team consisting of seniors Jeff Shudak, J ames Sebghati, and junior Barb Osborne. This able team of three persuaded the jury to reduce the charge of second degree homicide against Bud Wieser (Fil Catania). "I learned a lot about hard work that a lawyer must do to win a case! It was ~ lot of fun! " said Barb Osborne. The prosecution team consisted of seniors Ed McGill, Korey Culjat, and Teresa Andress. They did a good job of persuading the jury to convict Bud Wieser on the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Everyone in the class had a role to play, from judge all the way to witnesses. In computer classes, students learned how the computer works, how to run programs, make flow charts, and use the data processing. This will help the students in college and possibly be a career choice. Data processing was the next step after computer processing class. The students learned how to make and run their own programs. These classes were taught by Scott "The big man" Belt, and were held in the convent (business office). When asked what he thought about making his students walk from one building to another in cold weather he replied, 'Tm not worried about it, I'm more worried about taking off my clothes in the boys' locker room!

"McGuire possesses the most wonderful quality of being able to cultivate talent in artistic people and make those of us possessing minimal talent think that "possibly" inside us might lurk a Picasso," said Cyndy Berriman '86. Art class at St. Albert was more than just drawing and painting. It could include anything from color spectrums to calligraphy to texture problems. Ir was an exciting adventure in selfexpression. Another avenue of self-expression was found in the physical education classes. Contrary to popular belief, P.E. does not stand for "participation evasion! " This parallel came about due to an extraordinarily large number of real or imagined injuries, illnesses, and various other ailments. For those of us who WERE participants in P.E., it was a good way to learn about football, basketball, weight-lifting, volleyball, and bowling to name a few. It also provided a great outlet for venting hostilities and frustrations in a good fifty-minute workout. Bur most importantly, P.E. provided the opportunity to get out of uniform and into a comfortable pair of sweats. Art and P.E./59 Shorthand Symbols and Timed Ty • A stop watch, feet flat on the floor, good posture, and looks of determination could all be descriptions of a sports event at St. Albert. However, in this case, they were found in Rick Colpitts' and Jonna Andersen's typing and shorthand classes. Typing was required for all sophomore students. Typing II and III were also offered as electives for students who plan on a clerical career or for those who want co sharpen their typing skills. Some typing was a requirement for each student because it is a necessary skill in coday's world. Many reports in school need co be typed and many forms that a person fills out must be typed or printed clearly, and just how many people do we know who can print clearly! Also, when learning how to operate a computer, the basics of typing are necessary to use the keyboard. Shorthand land 11, taught by Jonna Andersen, were elective courses usually taken by students who plan on a clerical career. Often shorthand is regarded as a course for future secretaries. This is not necessarily true, because shorthand can be very useful in taking notes in college classes, meetings, phone messages, and personal writing. So when you walk into Andersen's room and see all those weird little symbols on the blackboard, be impressed, because Andersen and her students are the only ones who can understand the message. 60/0rganizations/ Academics Typing teacher Rick Colpitts tries to find the assignment in the text book.

Most of the students who took home-ec and shop didn't go into the classroom with the idea of being a gourmet chef or a master woodworker. The students took these classes to learn skills that the classes have to offer, and to enjoy a classroom with a relaxed atmosphere. "I like shop because it gives me a chance to do things on my own and to work at my own pace," said Mike Honaker '89. Dan Simon '87, said of his "fu des" class, 'The emotional trauma of changing teachers during the year was hard to handle, but Mrs. Hegwood made it fun and the trauma was easier to get through." Jane Hegwood, first-year-home-ec teacher at St. Albert enjoys teaching, she says, "Cooking is a hobby of mine and I enjoy teaching other people how to do it. Hopefully, I will be able to teach special techniques to students." Although most of the students who took home-ec and shop won't grow up to be masters of these trades, they did learn valuable skills, and in the process, had a lot fun.

Lisa Skow ind Kelly Blum, '86, took advantage of the opportunity to talk about college plans. Where did many students go to relax from a vigorous math class? Or where did they find relief from an over-enthusiastic English teacher who thought term papers are fun ? Where could they go to daydream or find the class brain actually enjoying himself? Of course -where else - the school library! The 1985-86 school year eroved to be a good one for the school library. Since this is known as the age of computers, word processors and computers were provided. Teachers were able to check out computers for class use. The word processor also helped librarian Maryann Angeroth when she typed up the overdue book lists, saving her a lot of time. Angeroth teaches the Junior High library skills class, and offers the Senior High a library science class. For the future , Angeroth hopes to get a computer card catalog, which makes updates and increases the book collection. Eventually, students will have access to more software such as computer discs and video tapes. Another important department is guidance. This year SA welcomed a new guidance counselor, Dan Malloy. (Malloy claimed, "St. Albert is blessed with my presence. ") Aside from listening to everyday problems of the students, Malloy battles the pressures of arranging major college entrance exams .such as ACT and SAT, for all seniors going to college. For juniors he arranges the PSAT. For those students not interested in attending college, Malloy then provides alternative career field information such as military, cosmetology, or other work choices. Malloy also teaches a jr. high guidance course about self-image, friendship, stress and career. He keeps his school spirit by coaching freshman girls' volleyball and girls' basketball. Library and Guidance/65 Tradition Quality Remains The Same The 20th anniversary edition of the Dimensions affords the opportunity to reflect upon the impact St. Albert athletics has made not only on our community, but on the whole area . Quality of effort and sportsmanship have earned SA a reputation for excellence. It is an enviable tradition. And tradition is what St. Albert is all about. Since its beginning, SA has made an educational, spiritual and emotional impact on families. Many of the families whose children were among the first to walk through the big front doors, are graduating the last of their children in the next year or two. "I guess in some ways it's kind of different, seeing the last of a line in many big families. But, the quality and style of athletics at SA will never change," said graduating senior Vince Rew. "I mean, any kid coming up through the ranks of Falcons or Saintes sports will value how successful that tradition has been. We've been known around th e entire state for our athletic accomplishments, more so than for anything else," he said . "The younger kids want to keep that alive. They want to be a part of that tradition. And the tradition extends to opening doors fo r promising athletes in the form of scholarships, which have, in a few cases even led to professional exposure. One of the fortunate few th is year was J eff Shudak, who received a full ride kicking scholarship to Iowa State Un ive rsity in the fall. Shu dak said, 'T m reall y thankful fo r the opportun ities I gm he re. A scholarship like this makes it so much easier to attend college. I can never forget how important athletics we re to me at St. Albert. " Determination and sportsmanship continu e to flou rish.

Division Page/67 Young Falcon Gridders Post Impressive Campaigns The St. Albert JV team posted an impressive 3-3 season, one of the best in many years. "We had relentless execution on both sides of the ball, and had more depth than in previous seasons," said Doug Rew '88. 'That's why I feel we had as successful season as we did. " The Falcons did indeed field a much larger squad than in prior seasons, probably the biggest factor in the ]V's turnabout. 68/Sporrs While the junior varsity put togethe r one of their best seasons ever, St. Albert's freshman team fou ght to a 2-4 record . Unlike the JV, the frosh were a little lacking in depth. "We had a lot of talent at the skil led positions, but we just weren't very deep at any spots," said Brian Ratigan '89.

State Playoffs Falcon ''Air Force'' Soars Labeled by the DES MOINES REGISTER as "the best kept secret in Iowa," the '85 ~alcon football squad compiled an impressive 8-2 record, Conference ··championship, and quarter final berth in the class 2A state playoffs enroute to one of the most successful campaigns ever by a St. Albert team. . "I feel we far exceeded other's expectations with a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and a passing attack second to none," said quarterback Ed McGill, '86. "We knew we had the capabilities of being one of the premier teams in the state. It was just a matter of putting it all together the way we knew we could." Senior fullback Fil Catania echoed McGill's feelings and stated, "The season wouldn't have been nearly as successful if it weren't for Coach Scichilone and the complete dedication and leadership of the senior class." Despite miserable game conditions throughout most of the season, the Falcons set numerous school records. Among the most impressive of these were McGill's 1,877 yards passing and 18 scoring strikes, senior split end Vince Rew 1,065 yards receiving and 10 TD hauls, and senior punter/placekicker Falco n signal ca ll er Ed McGill scrambles fo r his life aga inst the Yellowjacket pursuit. Jeff Shudak's 49.8 yard punt average and 56 yard field goal the second best on Iowa 's alltime chart. Shudak, Rew and junior defensive end Larry Ratigan were named to the REGISTER'S Class 2A 1st team squad, while McGill was placed on the 2nd team. Throughout the season, the Falcons managed to get consistently better with each game, something only the best of teams can do. And while the Bird's opponents were intimidated by St. Albert's finesse style of ball, the Falcons soared through one of the school's finest seasons ever. Football/ l Team Effort Sparks Season Dedication and the bond of friendship on and off the court were two of the biggest assets of the 1985 Saintes volleyball squad. Lynne Murray '86, said, "This year, it seemed as though we worked as a team and not as individuals, as in the past. Even when you weren't actually on the court, you felt very much a part of the team. " Bonnie Ficek '87, added, 'This year was one of the best years because we were really close, and we worked hard throughout the whole season. We had one of the best seasons ever." Even having only a few returning letterwin72/Sports ners, the team demonstrated a fight instinct and bounded back from a 6-12 season in 1984 co a 9-7-3 season in '85. Arny Honaker '86, summed it up by saying, "This year was really great. Everyone worked hard and played cogether as a team. I loved it." On the JV scene, a lot of effort and gained experience ended their season with a record of 6-5, the best for a JV squad in many years. "It was really a great year, and our team has a lot of possibility for the fu ture," added Becky Ficek '87. "And don't forget those Saintes. The future is lookin' good."

Yolleyball/73 Cross Country Squad Strides to Fine Finish The old cliche, "two is company, but three is a crowd," might prove to be true in some sports, but not for the 1985-86 varsity girls' cross country squad. The trio of Jackie Leggio '86, Barb Osborne '87, and Jean Sillik '88, led the Saintes to 10 victories. Joining the successful threesome in a great season were freshmen Theresa Fischer and Sherry Slobonik, and senior Kris Kinart. The spirited squad not only captured the Nebraska Centennial Conference, but 74/Sports also won the district title in Atlantic, Iowa. They went on to place 5th at the state championship in Ames, Iowa. The boys' cross country squad were very young, but very determined anct"a igh-stepping pack of runners. They improved impressively with each meet and broke individual records within the team often enough so that the 5th runner position changed from week to week. Injuries to two of the varsity runners, Ron Marshall '87 and Ron Barszcz '86 in midseason contributed to hampering the boys' win record, but not their enthusiasm for the sport. Although the cross country squad lost four talented athletes to graduation, several returning runners, the help of new recruits, and the expert guidance of Coach John Shorey should provide St. Albert with more winning and exciting seasons.

The freshman A-team had a record of 16- 1, and held a 58 game winning streak rhat dated back to when they were sixth graders. The streak was halted in a hard-fought loss to Millard South 46-44. Dale Scott '89 said, "It was a pretty disappointing loss, bur from where I was sirring, it looked like we played hard, and it should help us in-the future. In a way, I guess the loss was kind of good for us." 76/Sports The B-team, which finished 2-10, may not have won as many games as rhe A-team, but they were always there for support. "We may not have had the greatest record , bur we had a lot of fun and played hard," said Tony Kruse '89. The JV ream set a pre-season goal of finishing 17-1, bur fell one game short as the Falcons finished 16-2.

JV / Frosh BasketbaU/ 7 Full Court And Full Speed Ahead It was a year of change for the JV and freshman girls' basketball teams. It was full court and full speed ahead. Vigorous practices, enthusiasm, and love of the game were three factors that contributed to the winning season of the JV Saintes. But if one word could describe the team this year, it would be "hustle." The girls played hard all season and were real show people on the court. They were a high-spirited and very talented bunch who worked well together and supported each other whether they were on the court or on the bench waiting to play. Cindy Petratis '88, said, "This year was really great because we all got along really well together, and we all worked together as a team. " The JV sguad finished their season 78/ Sporcs with an impressive 13-3 record under the talented and enthusiastic coaching of Tracy Leinen. Although the freshman girls were "the new kids on the court," and were only able to practice when the gym was free, they showed great determination, and improved impressively throughout the season. Karla Miller '89, said, "I really had a g reat time playing basketball this year. Our team had some good times and bad times, but we only remember the good ones. I'm really looking forward to next year." The frosh, under the g uidance and direction of Coach Belt, ended their first hign!!clrool season with a hard-fought 8-8 record.

"I wanted the ball in my hands, because I felt like I could make something happen in the pressure situation," said McGill. "As soon as I let it go, I knew we were headed into overtime!" Once into overtime, SA took control and defeated Red Oak 81-78. The Falcons ended the season 15-7 with a 101-73 loss to Denison in the final game to see who would go to the state tournament in Des Moines.

These energetic and highly spirited girls were not only a team of confidence, but a team of determination as well. Much to their fans' delight, the girls experienced many overtime situations, and last-second shots to make their season a truly exciting one. Alicia McCoy '87 said, "It was great being on a winning team this year, and I really think we all worked together very well, and that made us a lot closer. Under first-year coach Dan Malloy's guidance and expertise, the Saimes finished their impressive year with an 11-8 record.

Steve Martin ·ss, breaks his man down before is p h city wrestling meet at T J Troy Ho lmberg '87, fig hts a ra ke down at t e The Falcon wrestlers closed out yet another trying season. Although the teams individual records weren't quite what most of the grapplers had hoped they would be at this final stage, there was no denying that the overall team's attitude was one of stern determination and strong optimism. "We approached this season knowing that we had an extremely young team and knew it would be used as a definite rebuilding year," said Falcon mentor Dick Wright. "Most of the kids had a realistic goal of a .500 season or better and wanted to have a strong showing in tournament action." Knowing that it was going to be a rebuilding year, things began to look down right away for the young ream. Due to a broken wrist, four-year letter winner, Fred Grote, '86, was forced to miss the entire season. Wright described Grote as a big asset, not only for his senior leadership, but also for his past winning ways, wa ys that were ce rtai nly missed last season. Picking up where Grote left off, however, was Tim Fields, '87, the team's leading match winner last year with a 12-15 record. "It's a good thing the squad had such an optimistic attitude, because that really made up for the physical size, strength, and age advantage most of our competition had over us throughout the year," said Fields. Coach Wright and Fields agreed that the teams attitude was the most vital part of the squad. Even though the team's -overall record wasn't as good as most had hoped for, this extremely young Falcon squad will be around and much improved in the seasons yet to come. Wrestling/SS Falcon Track Still Ahead Of Pack The 1986 Falcon rrack squad started the season with rremendous optimism. They had little in numbers and depth, but what lay on the surface was superior quality, particularly in the 400, 800, and 1600 meter relays and high jump. It was these events that continually carried the team meet by meet. At Clarinda, the Birds stacked all three relays to see how they compared to the best teams in Southwest Iowa, and walked away with all three golds against the top teams around. And junior high-jumper, Ken Fox, collected another first-place medal. After Clarinda, the Falcons had to make do without the services of senior speedster, Rex Romano, who was forced to sit out three weeks. So, it wasn't until districts, nearly a month later, that juniors Mike Masker and Chris Fischer, and seniors Vince Rew and Romano, could prove that their sweep was no accident. These four men and Fox made up the "Dog Franchise." (five hounds always sniffing for a victory) At disrricts, during constant downpours, the Falcons sewed up state berths in all four events. Fox won the high jump, and the 800m relay squad was victorious as well , with Masker, Fischer, Rew, and Romano each running superbly. The same quartet placed second in the 400m relay, and freshman Trent Holmberg took Rew·s place on the 1600m relay as the Falcons finished second; thanks to Romano's fabulous anchor leg. Yes, Rex was back, and ready to run. The Birds were pumped as they headed to Des Moines. Starting the weekend off on his right leg was Fox , leaping to a Class 2A State Championship in the high jump. He could now sit back and watch the rest of the Bluffs runners chase their golds. After making the finals, the 4X 100 and 4X400 teams fa iled to place. The 4X200 was different. The same fo ur entered the meet with the 11th fastest time, but qualified for the finals in the fourth spot. Afte r ru nni ng a blistering time - the fastest in Southwest Iowa, all season - that is exactly where they finished - a very close fourth.

Darrin Ma rti n patientl y eyes the ba ll ror a clear pu tt on the green. The boys golf team was really up to par this year. The team was led by senior Darrin Martin. The other four golfers that contributed to the team's successes were junior Matt J ohnson, and sophomores Doug Struyk,John Miller, and Sean Davis. One of the possible reasons for the team's success was new coach, Scott Belt. Belt allowed the team to have a lot of fun while playing, but he also kept a close eye to getting down to business and improving their games. Doug Struyk said, "We worked really hard at the beginning of the season, and then at the end, we let our natural abilities take over. I had a lot of fun this year." The strategy must have worked, because the team was the champion of both the Lewis Ce ntral Invitational and the Neb raska Centenn ial Conference. They placed second in the Counc il Blu ffs City Tournament, and in the sectional tou rname nt by a single stroke. The girls team was also made up predominately of underclassmen this year. They were junior Melanie Miller, and sophomores Ronnie Martin, J acqui Slater. Stacy Oberdin, and Kathy Alfers. These five g irls did things that no other SA girls golf team haJ ever done! They finished 7-2 in dual meets for the fir.st time ever. As for next year, Coach Michael Kava rs said, "If the girls get out and play a lot of golf ;n the summer, we're looking for a sectional title next year. " And that will be no stroke of luck folks' Girls and Boy. Golr/CJl Falcons To State Saintes Rebuilding • • • When the boys tennis team started the year, they set a pre-season goal of finishing .500 in duals. However, as the season progressed, it was evident that the Falcons were ready to play. They finished with an 8-2 record, the best ever for an SA tennis team. Leading the way for coach Sterling West were five returning lettermen; senior Tom Eberhard, and juniors Dave Koehler, Chris Slater, Don J abro, and Mark Petratis. This balanced attack, along with consistent play from John O'Connor, #0 singles player, enabled the Falcons co net the city championship.

The Sa intes lost quite a few key seniors from last year bur had a lot of experience coming back. The Saintes opened their season with the D owling Tournament. They ended up 1 and 3 in the tournament but, they played well and played a lot of good competition. "I feel that we'll do pretty well throug hout the season but we do not have a lot of depth on the team, especially in pitching," says Dan Malloy. The Saintes are looking fo r a pretty good season from the Seniors and hopefully getting some strength from the sophomore and freshman players.

G irls Sofrbnll/9 Cherishing the Past Embracing the Future Our Special Times The 1985-86 school year will be remembered for irs challenges and victories, triumphs and tragedies. The world advanced technologically by leaps and bounds, and "our with the old, in with rhe new" was appropo. Sarcasm was popular, and phrases such as "close!" , "newl", and "you hare it!" were echoed and re-echoed throughout rhe halls. Goodbyes were said to long-rime administrator Rev. Edward Hurley. Popular hang-ours were parries, "the ranch", Central Park Mall, Old Marker, and the all-time favorite Broadway. Music ranged from the trendy Duran Duran ro the classic Bruce "The Boss " Springsteen to the funky runes of Prince. Meanwhile, Council Bluffs residents adjusted to fasrpaced changes in their normally slow-paced community. It seemed the construction would never end. Bluffs Run, Mall of the Bluffs, and a major expansion at Eppley Airfield symbolized " in with the new," while several blocks of old buildings were rom down. Our with the old . Broadway's lanes were disrupted by diagonal parking, and voters approved a new mayoral system o f city government. Outside the immediate community, our country was dealing with the changes that were dumping the future into our laps. After 24 successful flights, a NASA trage - dy claimed seven lives, those of six astronauts and a civilian teacher-of-the-year. Positive steps were taken, however, and the NASA project continued. Political conflicts with Libya created apprehension and fear worldwide, especially in the Un ited States, the favorite target of archterrorist Moammar Khadafy. On a more positive note , the inflation rate was on the decline, gas and oil prices were lower than they had been in years, and interest rares rook a dive, making the cost of living a lot easier to live with. This year will nor, however, be remembered for these things alone. Special memories and accomplishments will be kept close ro our hearts always. Suffice it to say that we will look back on 1985-86 with a smile on our faces and pride in our hearts. 98/0ur Sp~cia l T imes .. Ta-da! .. says Mike Gill, English reacher.

The special week includes court selection, crowning of king and queen, football game, and dance. St. Albert Homecoming began September 30 with '"Wild 'n Crazy Day." Completing the week was "Toga Tuesday," "Opposites," '"Spirit Day,'" and '"Dress-Up Day. " The annual pep rally on Thursday resulted in a Falcon victory over Cathedral 10-6 Friday night. The finale was the big Homecoming Dance on Saturday evening. Homecoming has special meaning in the State of Iowa this year also, and 1986 has been proclaimed as the time to come home to your roots. The DES MOINES REGISTER said (it's a) "year-long celebration of Iowa's people and the values and tradition we share." Celebration included more than 1,000 events such as the Council Bluffs Pride Week Parade, fashion shows, and a celebrity golf tournament among others. Over 20 sponsors and 70 contributors helped finance the celebration. The DES MOINES REG-ISTER said , '"Iowans rediscovering Iowa is what Homecoming "86 is all about.'" Homecoming is only a hope for some , howeve r. Hundreds of famili es hope for a reunion with children who are missing. Each year, between 30,000 and 70,000 children are reported missing. Of these, only ten percent are returned to their families. Ten percent are found dead and 80 percent are never seen aga in. These are devastating statistics to families of missing children. "Call me when you get there," is one of SA offi ce worker Marilyn Leggio's frequent requests of her children. Reassurance that kids have reached their destination safely is a common concern of parents. Maryann Angeroth, school librarian, said, "We take the general precautions . . . 'don't talk to strangers, don't accept rides from strange rs.' I wouldn't encourage my kids to be a paperboy, but we don't let (fear) rule our lives. " Most teens reali ze that being cautious is preferrable to having a policeman notify parencs that their child is missing. When this happens, hope fo r homecoming is what remains. Nineteen eighty-five/eighty-six was not onl y a homecoming for our school and our state, it was and is the dream of pa rents nationwide who ha ven't given up hope. 100/0ur Special Times Referees Kevin McG in n (l eft) and Chris Fisc her gee ready co cime che sophomore class fo r ch e car cram.

And it comes with its' privileges, such as getting out of school early and the senior trip. Another advantage of being a senior is the opportunity to attend TEC (Teens Encounter Christ), a three day retreat in Panora, Iowa. Not many of the class of '86 attended TEC. And the majority of who did were girls. Betsy Tamisiea attended one of the first sessions of the year. Tamisiea said, "TEC is not the three-day mass everyone thinks it is. You focus on your own life and others around you. You meet a lot of new and exciting people who become your good friends." Kris Wiley, S.A. Religion teacher, is the organizer of the TEC weekends. Wiley commented, "TEC is a wonderful experience, and it's unfort unate that not more seniors took advantage of it." Another unforgettable experience of the senior year is the senior retreat. It took place at the Catholic Church in Glenwood, Iowa. The seniors were bused to and from Glenwood on two consecutive days. The retreat, however, was different this year. There were fewer group discussions and most of the time the seniors were asked to spend quiet sessions along. Susi Bartholomew said, "I enjoyed guing away for a retreat and getting the chance to be by myself instead of sharing my thoughts in a group." Tom Eberhard also shared, "The senior retreat helped me cope with my daily life. It was only boring if you made it boring." TEC and Retreat/ 103 The sign of peace is exchanged between Fr.

How are we going to pay for all this?" fundraisers, of course! fundraisers were a 1najor source of income for many organizations and dasssp0nsored activities this year.

"l try to find products that will raise the rnoney. l choose accordward the purchase of computers for the school, and various other items.

He further explained that there has to be a guarantee of at \east a 40% profit frorn the sale of the product.

Fundraising/ 10 State F ever The '85 Falcon football squad generated excitement and enthusiasm unequaled by many prior St. Albert grid teams. And why not ? The young Falcon squad surprised many en route to an 8-2 campaign and a quarterfinal berth in the Iowa Class 2A playoffs. Leading this small group of Birds was Falcon Head Coach Marshall Scichilone. "If we were just a little more physical and had a few more players (the entire squad consisted of 36 individuals), we possibly could have won it all," said Scichilone. "Our offense couldn't have been stopped. It was one of the best-scoring offenses in the state." The Falcons faced Neola Tri-Center in the first round of the playoffs at Falcon Field. And behind a fantastic , energetic, and loud crowd, SA whipped the Trojans 20-3. When asked what won the game for \ us, Scichilone said, "Defense. We had some big defensive plays that game, and we didn't fold when we got behind early. There 's no doubt our previous playoff experience and home crowd helped us win that game." St. Albert then travelled down to Clarinda to take on the powerful and explosive Cardinals. But this sunny Saturday afternoon was for the birds. Not our Birds, but instead, for the Clarinda Cardinals. Outnumbered, outsized, and outplayed, the Falcons' air attack could not get untracked in the early-going, and they had to play catch-up the entire game. This took the Birds away from their previous game plan, and handed them only their second defeat of the season. Scichilone summed up the season by saying, "This truly was a great bunch of kids. The entire ream continually worked hard, and everyone had a lot of fun. " 1986 Varsity Fo }1m Free Otbal/ team R '< Col man, Doug Rew ow 1 Steve Marr p1trs. Row 3 T' .

Following a relatively calm beginning of a new semester at St. Albert, a national tragedy struck which affected not only our community, but the whole world. A cold, dreary January 28 is a day that will be remembered for a long time. It marked an end to 25 years of reliable missions by NASA, the end of seven lives, and the loss of the space shuttle Challenger. On board were Gregory D. J arvis, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Commander Francis R. Scobee, and co-pilot Michael]. Smith. With them was Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from Concord, who was to be the first civilian in space. NASA and a presidential investigation both focused blame for explosion on a fatal o-ring "burn through." 0-rings, which seal the segments of the solid rocket booster, were damaged by cold temperatures in Florida that morning. A super-heated blast that should have been directed downward and toward the external fuel rank, caused the explosion. As news of the disaster spread, a large group of SA student and teachers gathered in the library, spellbound by the media coverage and the repeated playbacks of the explosion, and the incredulous expressions shown on the fa ces of the families, friends and well-wishers who had all been there to see the launch. By lunchtime the entire school had heard the news, and prayers were offered over the intercom, hoping for survivors and asking for strength for their families. In the days that followed , American flags flew at half-mast, a constant reminder of the Tuesday tragedy. Replacements at NASA in launch confirmation and mission control vowed to not let anything like this happen again, but the space program will continue. As President Reagan said in a speech following the fatal mishap, "The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted. It belongs to the brave."

Terrorism The Line Of Death Reagan Fights Back "Well , M oammar, this is mo re fun than Electronic Battl eship, don't you think?" 124/0ur Special Times Terro rist attempts were stepped up throug ho ut th e wo rld ever since the United States bombed Tripoli, the capital of Libya on April 14, 1986. President Reagan's reason for this action was because there was strong evidence that Libya was responsible fo r the bombing of a nig ht club in West Germany that kill ed an American soldier, and injured as man y as 50 others. Leader of Libya, Moamma r Khadafy, was not injured in the attack, but his adopted bab y daughter was al leged ly killed . Man y of America's a llies, such as France and Italy said they would not back up the United States' decision, nor"\vould France and Ital y all ow U.S. military aircra ft to fl y ove r th eir countries. Su rprisingly, othe r allies would have preferred an all-out attack on Libya. Thousands of people around the world, on th e other hand, protested the attack by burning American flags and other demonstrations in Britain, West Germany, Italy and Sweden. M any questions were raised daily by citizens of America and other countries as to th e necessity of bombing Libya, and c rossing Khadafy's "Line of Death ." (An imaginary line in the Gulf of Sidra that is ac tu all y int erna tiona l wate rs, but that Khadafy claims as Libya 's). Did we have the rig ht ro act in such a manner? Should any country a llow " bully" tactics of terrorists witho ut response' \Xlhy were innocent people killed' Will the bombing lead ro World Wa r IIP A poll was take n of ten stu dents at St. Albert. The students questioned repre - sented each grade. The question was, "Do you fe el that th e United States had the rig ht tO bomb Libya': Six said, "Yes," and fou r sa id , "No." Matt Mullin ·37 said, "Khadafy only understands vio lence, and this was the only way to express ro him that we're not going tO take it.J eanette Burke '86 said, "I feel a bomb was a little extreme, and I fee l if we go to wa r, we will lose." Laurie Nettles '86 said , "I think we had the rig ht tO show them that we wouldn't be pushed aro und , but it's a shame innocent people had to be killed for it. " Alicia M cCoy '87 sa id , "I think it was rig ht t0 rake the action tO prevent future te rrorism in the Middle East." There are no definiti ve answers tO terrorism.

" exclaims Steve Oberdin '89, in his freshman speech class. Community . . . Friends . .. Family . .. These words are often used and taken lightly in our everyday vocabulary. But everybody (who is anybody) knows that these words all have very special meanings "on the hill." St. AlbertJr./Sr. High School is a student body that considers each other G.C.F. (also known as Good Close Friends), and some would even consider each other part of their own family . Not only are students close to their peer group, but some students have developed close friendships with their teachers, too. Each individual class has developed its own unique, interesting qualities throughout the years. Some have more intellectual and academic qualities and abilities, whereas, others may have more character and humor in their style. AU in all, each class maintains high standards in everything they do, but like they say, "variety is the spice of life," and students at SA are living proof. 138/Cl asses • • • With Class (es) A few elite, yet eccentric sophomore, junior and senior students rake time o ut to pose for a wild-n-cra zy picture during Homecoming '85.

"Steve Oberdin is one of the most straightfaced comedians I have ever witnessed ," said Jeannette Schultz, freshman literature teache r. "He could make me laugh, even on a reall y bad day." "Troy Hemmingson is a neat person with the kind of personality that picks you up when you are down ," said Bonnie Ficek '87. That can also be said of many others of the Class of '89. They are also talkative. Ju st about anywhere you find them. they are busy conversing about this, that, and whomever.

O ver the years, the class of '87 has become known fo r its spirit and enthusiasm shown at games, dances, pep rallies, and yes, even in the halls. A prime example was the day of the boys' district basketball game against Red Oak. It was the end of the third lunch period, and as the bell rang there was a realistic attempt to mock the sound. The psuedo bell turned into the drumroll-like sound of -a-- cheer. While walking down the hall there was yelling, cheering, clapping, and bangi ng o n lockers. In other words, a lot of pep and enthusiasm was being released. And , of course, it was the junior guys who "threw together" and led the on-offic ial lunch-time rall y in the halls. Parries weren't the only claim tO fa me the junio r cl ass made, but they ce rtainly were at the top o f the list. And there was good reason fo r thinking about parries as being sy nonomous with the junior class. After all , in decent weather, which was anything but two inches o f ice an d fo ur inches of snow, there was a party almost eve ry weekend. What were they celebrating? Well, the fac t is, the class o f '87 would celebrate anything ... just so they parried together. Dan Murray and Barb Osborne show rheir enthusiasm for Algebra II.
