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

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

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

"It was difficult to change my grip after so many years, but now that my serve is better, the hard work paid off." With the crunch of fallen leaves beneath our feet and new notebooks in our hands, we welcomed autumn.

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

Boone found the undergarment confusing, but reluctantly, he picked it up. "I had to ask how to put it on," said Boone, "and I didn't know how much toilet paper to stuff it with. I was embarrassed because my mom was going to see me in it." Boone, who dressed as a wicked stepsister in Cinderella, was only one of many drama students who showed more than a little nerve during an outstanding season of student-produced plays and abundant talent. In November, the department presented Cinderella under the stage direction of Kim Will '90, with technical direction by Tony Wesolowski '90. Wesolowski completely designed the set, utilizing $400 worth of lumber, I 0 gallons of paint, 40 pounds of screws, and 2 canisters of glitter. "It was a challenge to design the set for Cinderella," said Wesolowski. "It looked good on paper, although I • • v • E wasn't sure what the end product would look like. I was in awe of how it actually turned out." Just four weeks after Cinderella, many of the same performers struggled to produce the comedy Barefoot in the Park, directed by Ricco Siasoco '90. "The short rehearsal time put pressure on the individual," said Tracy Kesterson '90, "but we set personal goals for blocking and memorizing lines, and everyone lived up to their part." The story of a yuppie newlywed couple dealing with in-laws, crazy neighbors, and flying hors d'ouerves was presented in December. Two months later, directors Stephen Brockway and Lee Spann took even bigger risks to involve as much talent as possible in The Sound of Music. When a record 70 students and children auditioned, every student was given a part, with six major roles double and triple-cast, and two extra roles created for children.

Every time they rehearsed once, I practiced three times." The talented youngsters who played the Von Trapp children proved they could be as gutsy as their older counterparts. "On opening night, I was running around a nervous wreck," said Tena Nelson '90. "I scooped up 6-year-old Elizabeth Brockway in my arms, and she told me it was silly to be nervous, because she never was."

Homeroom students also carried boxes of food , clothes, and toys to school for the annual drive held by student council. Although school was out early, more than 3,500 items were picked up.

"Everyday at lunch I eat two sandwiches," said Clinton Johnson '92. "I have to eat that much to get full. The most I have ever eaten is a large pizza all by myself!"

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

"So we hiked up a path to a cemetery in Crescent. There was a rumor that a pack of wild dogs roamed the place. It set the mood for the night and really freaked Ricco out." Those with a spirit of daring and adventure also enjoyed teepeeing expeditions. "I like teepeeing because of the risk of getting caught or busted by the cops," said Todd Cover '92. Although most parties lacked the excitement of a teepeeing escapade, a night in the cemetery, or a stroll on a catwalk, they remained the main attraction of nightlife. Sixty one out of 65 students polled said they frequently attended parties. Some party organizers even went out of their way to dream up once-ina-lifetime activities for guests.

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

" I like to go to the Thrift Store," said Barb Wehrmacher '92. "There I can usually fi nd old shirts and pants that I can change by sewing. That way, I can create a new style that is original and reflects me. I have these black socks with little green sparkling things on them. I wear them with my black high-tops.

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

"I work a lot everyday, so with that, school, cheerleading, and my friends, it's hard to spend quality time with my family, yet I try to do things with them whenever I can because truthfully, they're my real role models." Of 77 students polled, 58 said their relationship with their parents was close or very close, and only 5 said it was distant. Many said mothers were like close friends. "When my parents got a divorce, my mother had to take my father's place when I needed her most," said Jennica Munch '92. "I felt like I could ask or tell her anything and get a straight answer. That's when I felt she was more of a friend. Yet, I always knew the mother was inside her, and that's important." According to those polled, siblings, too, leaned on one another for friendship and support, with 53 saying they were close or very close to their siblings. "This year would've been so much harder if I hadn't had an older sister," said Dan Paulson '93. "Being a freshman is hard. Luckily, I knew her friends and she kind of set a path for me with teachers.

"I tried to work a lot of hours and then save practically all my money for dinner, the limo, and dancing at the Metro afterwards," said Casey Bliven '90. "It seemed like I worked twice as hard for that one night of fun, and then I was totally broke." While prom-goers hunted for just the right clothes to wear and enough money to spend, the prom committee looked through dozens of magazines and books for the perfect theme. Finally, the group selected "Sea of Love." The decorations included a painting by Tom McGuire '90, which would serve as the background for pictures. The 7 x 7 foot painting showed a shining moon reflecting off of a body of water. "Painting the background took me eight hours in three days," said McGuire. "It gave me a chance to show everyone what I could do. I was proud of it." Planners also spent nearly three weeks coming up with unique costumes for sophomore greeters and servers to wear. As a result of the brainstorm, couples were surprised at the door by a mermaid, shark, and a huge red lobster. "Molly (Spann) had asked me to be a sea creature, so I chose a lobster," said Jennie Wheeldon '92. "It was extremely hot in there, but I knew being a lobster would be the most fun.

Becky Baumker '90, had planned for a month to go to prom by herself, but she got a big surprise the day before. "At the very last minute, Sergio Alvarez and Jay Arrick set me up with John Rivera, the foreign exchange student from Chile," said Baumker. "John rented us two stretch limos, and we had them for four hours. I was extremely nervous at first because I barely knew him, but after we got into the limo, I felt less awkward because we were talking and he could converse so well. I didn't mind getting a date so late because I was thrilled not to have to go by myself!" Expecting to spend more than $50 on dinner, one couple was taken completely by surprise when they received their dinner totally free.

"I said, 'I don't even know you!' But he still insisted that I take his money. Before I knew it, he shoved a $I 00 bill in my hand and left. Just like that! I went back over to Shad and explained what had just happened, and we ate our dinner fo r free ." Whether students had planned some surprises of their own or encountered the unexpected along the way, prom night proved to be unforgettable. -Lori Paulsen UNDERWATER CREATURES?

Amidst giggling classmates, Shelly Ferris '90, hiked.up her gown, letting them in on her mischief. She had stashed super balls, bottlecaps, and two cans of party string into the pockets under her gown, all ready for use after the turn of the tassels. Suddenly, Ferris's admirers settled down enough to catch Principal Fred Frick's comments to the class. "You are truly a class with class," he told them. With that, shouts and whistles of pride filled the room until James Taylor's song, "You've Got A Friend" began to play. As watery eyed seniors listened to the song, they put their arms around each other and swayed and clapped to the beat of the music. Suddenly, the music faded, and it was time to march. As seniors packed into the hallway, frightening thoughts enter~d their minds: "I hope I don't tnp. What if nobody claps for me? Remember to pause for the picture." "J was super nervous before we walked in," said Kari Hannan '90.

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

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

Another concern many residents expressed was that even though mandatory protective liners would be installed, there was no guarantee that wells would not become contaminated. " Over so many years, the lining could easily deteriorate, said A ndy Ca ruso '90. " Or it could rupture a nd the water that we drink a nd grow crops with would be ruined. " In additi on to problems with the wa te r, ma ny residents were a fr a id tha t the increased tra ffi c would pose a threat to children. "Highway 183 is too narrow for the traffic on it now. Adding new drivers is just creating an unnecessa ry danger," said Jack Holder, resident of Crescent for 18 years.

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

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

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

In the social studies department, economics students used computers to learn how businesses are run efficiently. "We had to pick what type of business we wanted to run," said Ronda Larson '90. "Then we pressed a bunch of buttons to decide how much we wanted in sales and our goal in profits." In the language arts department, instructor Chris Wahl used a program called Writer's Helper II to help students get in touch with their thoughts. The program included three basic steps. The first, " Finding," helped the student find possible topics. The second, "Explore," analyzed different ways of writing. The third, "Organization," helped the student arrange material coherently. In the math department, instructor Ruth Brown's trigonometry classes worked with trig functions on the Apple comRuters. "The functions were shown on the screen, and we had to guess what particular function each was," said Shyla Putnam '91. "There were six levels of difficulty, and it took me a long time to get to the last level, but I felt a sense of accomplishment when I did, and it was more fun than just regular classwork." As computers, related hardware, and an ever growing stock of software became more and more accessible, students grew in their ability to acquire and manage information through technology.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Photo by Kristi Kuper) 56 Academics For example, Samantha Hodge '91, said Larry Brown, history instructor, surprised his class the first time he walked in firing questions at them and kept it up all period. "When he said, Today we're going to discuss Egypt,' a big groan came from every kid in the class,'' she said. "Brown didn't let it phase him, though. He came back and said, "Who was King Tut?" "In unison, the whole class said, 'He was the pharaoh of Egypt, whose pyramid was left untouched by graverobbers." It's real neat because he would get so excited, making us excited. The constant review really motivated us to remember the information." Todd Clark '90, also felt the Utah Plan helped students remember material better. "It's a different way of teaching and learning." said Clark. "It helps me because the information is drilled into my head." The new method also used the concept of co-teaching with two teachers planning and delivering a lesson together. "Co-teaching has really gotten me interested in class,'' said Sara Mason '93 . "It's real neat to walk into class and have two teachers help you learn and remember the lesson." Just as teachers teamed up under the plan, so did students. For example, in Regan' reading class, students would sit across from each other with a stack of flash-type card . One of the students would show the vocabulary words, giving his partner one minute t get as many correct answers as possible. Mindy Patten '93, said many aspects of the plan helped her more than lectures and lengthy study periods. "I don't like to study on my own,'' said Patten, "but with the Utah Plan, you get t work with other students to improve skills. I learn more when someone pushes me." Both teachers and students were surprised by the results of the Utah Plan. In each cla where the plan was practiced, no student ha failed as of the end of the first semester. -Kelli Smit rying to ignore the Iowa Public Televisio crewmen, instructor Dennis Devault concen trates on the overhead transpa rency studen are using for review before an American hi tory test.

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

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

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

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

Each group was assigned to make something from a specific food group. "During the first part of the course, we decided on which food group to make," said Nikki Heidzig '90. "One week we'd make vegetables, and the next we'd make meats. Everyone in the group had to cooperate. a~d do their part so we could get it done within the hour."

In addition to date rape, seminars on drugs, alcohol, birth control, and gangs were presented to students and teachers all afternoon. "I think the "Community At Risk" program helped kids realize these problems occur in Council Bluffs, can happen to them, and can be deadly," said Jessica Mankin '93. "There are so many of kids who have questions but don't feel comfortable asking their parents for a nswers because they're scared."

There was even a booth where students could practice CPR on "Recussa Annie" and the Heimlic maneuver on "Choking Charlie." "I think the body fat station was the best," said Chad Theilen '92. "I found out that I had 12 percent body fat and learned what kind of exercises to do to keep that. The Health Fair was a great idea because so many kids don't know what their ideal body weight is and how to achieve or maintain it."

Haines and five other classmates went from room to room giving examples of how students' everyday habits can contribute to the destruction of the environment or bring it back to health. In addition, David Wilkins, a former member of the Omaha school board, talked to science students a bout what kinds of paper can be recycled and where they can take it. "I feel everybody learned so much from Earth Day," said Heather Fent '92. "I've already started to cut down on the use of products that I know will be harmful to the environment. At my lunch table, everybody has been trying to use paper sacks over as much as possible.

"Mrs. Bowman had been talking about the France trip since I was a freshman, but I never dreamed I'd actually get to go," said Danielle Nelson '91. "My parents told me the trip was a once-in-a-lifetime deal that I should take advantage of, and I'm glad I did; I had the time of my life." The month-long excursion to France, partially financed by the French Club, was but one example of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that Lynx organizations offered their members. Rare opportunities for recognition were available to publications staffers who excelled. " When I. won the highest hon64 Organization Division - or in the nation for in-depth team writing, I realized all my work was worth it," said Jane Johnson '90. "I'm probably not going to go on with newspaper after high school, so it felt great to receive the Quill and Scroll honor for my work while I had the chance." A L's own TV news broadcast, the AL Insider, offered speech students once-in-a-lifetime experiences on camera and behind the scenes. "The producer asked me to be a roving reporter for the Insider," said Loren Knauss '90. "Since I knew I wouldn't get the chance to be part of a T. V. production again, I gave it a try. I benefited from the deadlines and teamwork." Students smart enough to participate in Lynx organizations soon found that once-in-a-lifetime experiences abounded. -Ericka Wellman Q UIET ON THE SET!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"The girls were always able to talk to each other," said Coach Mary Kyte, " and communication on the court is essential." Taking to the court against state ranked Atlantic, the fourth ranked Lady Lynx knew a tough match lay ahead. "As soon as we walked on the court, you could feel the intensity," said Keleigh Scherzinger '90. "It was silent until the first serve, and then we opened up. Their best hitter went cross court all night so I was going for an outside block, but Kendra (Cory '90) read the hitter and yelled 'middle!' Instantaneously, my hands went inside and blocked the ball. It was that kind of communication that was important on the court." A special communication, both verbal and nonverbal, also existed between the coach and the players. During the Tee Jay tournament, the girls said they could read Kyte's expressions. "When we beat Lewis Central, we could see in Miss Kyte's eyes that we could win," said Heidi Workman '91. Scherzinger said she, too, was often moved by Kyte's expressions. "She just kind of glowed like a parent; it made me feel great to see her with that glow," said Scherzinger.

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

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

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

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

Although preseason expectations weren't very impressive, with the 89-90 squad returning only five seniors, the team finished the season 14-7, the best record since 1972. One reason for the cagers' success was their depth. In comparison to previous years when there was one standout player, this team had six or seven players capable of scoring more than 10 points a game. In the district game against Tee Jay, for example, Shad Coppock scored 29 points, Dan Dahir 21 , Jason Brink 18, and Dan Miller 17. With only two of the 15 varsity players under six feet tall, rebounding also became a strength of the team. The guys chalked up an average of 35 rebounds a game, seven more than last year. The Lynx also found that close relationships played a part in their success. "I think the togetherness of the team helped us in some of the closer games," said Rob Heitman '90. " Everyone played in summer leagues and did things together. Sometimes we would all go to IN A DEFENSIVE STANCE at the district game against Tee Jay, Dan Miller tries to stop Ryan Koch. The Lynx won the game in double overtime 96-93, placing them in the district final against Harlan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Although the championship game was played during seventh hour, players rose before the sun to take part in intramural shenanigans all season long. "It was the rivalry that got me up and in the gym by 7 in the morning," said Mike Feierfeil '90, of the undefeated South End Metro champions. "Everybody wanted to be on top, and since that was where my team was, I felt like we had something to prove every morning we played." In years past, intramural basketball gained popularity, but with 12 teams, the two month long 1990 season produced more players than ever. "Our team was called Ultra Pampers Plus so we carried a huge plastic baby bottle around during games. I guess you could say it was our mascot," BREAKTIME.

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

Whether we wanted to admit it or not, it was something most of us looked forward to. Our ant1c1pation didn't come from wanting to learn how to calculate velocity or translate English into a foreign language. But most of us anticipated the smile on a friend 's face, the first party of the year, and the first football game.

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

They said some of their most annoying moments occurred at the dentist's office, at porn pon tryouts, and even in the school librar:v while taking PACT tests. · "I'll never forget this time at the dentist's when I got my tongue caught in my braces. It was awful because I couldn't get my tongue unhooked from my wires. I couldn't even talk. I didn't know what to do, and I was getting scared. Finally, I got it loose, but I just hated it."

It makes me want to rip her fingernails out!" Kristi Knoernschild '92 " In two words I can describe the PACT's: they suck. The first section was pretty easy because I basic ally knew the answers. But when I got to the math section, everything went downhill. I forgot those theorems, so I got frustrated. I felt like saying 'Hey! I quit! I want my money back!' I can't b elieve I paid $5 to take that test." Curt Kenoyer '92. "The day before porn pon tryouts, I was so nervous I could not eat or sleep. It was nerve racking because I didn't feel like I knew the dance well enough . On the day of tryouts, I was practicing with some other girls and they looked better than me, so I got more nervous. When I tried out, I totally messed up. Afterwards, I went home and just sat there thinking how awful I'd done. Basically, it was a bad experience." Lori Lowman '93.

Alongside the rose was a card which she promptly opened. A smile stole across her face as she read the words, "Would you like to go to homecoming with me?" This story is just one example of the lengths to which some students went to get a date with that special someone. Some even risked embarrassment to get their dream date.

When I asked him how to do one of the problems, he said, 'That's the one we did in class, remember?' I was so embarrassed. I had to ask him out, and thankfully, he accepted." Another student willingly suffered embarrassment for the sake of a date. When Pat Gibson '91, met a girl from Omaha, he knew he wanted to take her out. One evening, he went to her house, knocked on her window, and sang to her. "When the song was over, she agreed to go out with me," said Gibson. "It was embarrassing, but it worked." Date-getting techniques were not all so extraordinary. Stephanie Knauss '92, sat in her sixth period class and admired the guy across the hall. He, in turn, admired her. "I decided to write him a little note," said Knauss. "After that, he sta rted calling me and eventually he asked me out. " One student said if he was going to ask a girl out, he'd do something more romantic than note-writing. "Ifl really wanted to go out with a girl," said Tyler Woods '92, ''I'd take a dozen roses to her house. I'm just a hopeless romantic. " Some embarked on embarrassing escapades while others sent sweet-smelling roses, but many found they were willing to do just about anything for a date. - Melissa Feller Lisa Keim II Tony Kellett to Ryan Kelley I~ Christina Kelly 9 Susan Kelly 9 Nancy Kemmish 9 Chad Kenoyer to Curt Kenoyer 10 Vicky Kermeen 11 Mike Kidder 10 Megan Kilbane 9 Ann Killion 11 Jim Killion 9 Robert King 9 Roger King 10 PEEK-A-BOO!

After we got there, we had ridden about three rides when it started pouring! Words could not describe how I felt.

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

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

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

(Photo by Lisa Pinti) One Friday night, Dudley Miller '92, asked a group of friends he was with to be quiet while he made an important phone call. Wondering what was so important, his friends gathered around him to listen to the conversation. "Indian Hills Nursing Home. Can I help you?" asked the voice at the other end of the phone. "Hi. This is Dudley Miller. Could I leave a message for the ki tchen staff in the morning? . . . I quit! Thanks." Like Miller, students didn't mean to do it, but they occasion ally amused one another wi th the most innocent words. The very fact that they didn't intend to be amusing often made their comments all the funnier. The following are a few e xcerpts overheard by a roving yearbook reporter.

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

"They seemed like they expected it, but when I got around to the boy, he backed off and wouldn't let me kiss him," she said. "After that, I felt really stupid." Foreign exchange students had to adjust to several differences between the culture and customs of America and those of their native country. The biggest difference was the language barrier. "I had a lot of problems communicating with people at first," said Nathalie Baur '90, from France. "I would always carry a French-English dictionary around with me, but if I was speaking with someone and didn't understand something they said, I would ask them what it meant." For example, in Baur's English class in France, she learned that everyone in America would ask her, "How are you?" She was taught to reply, "Very well thank you," but when someone asked her, "How's it goin'?" she had to ask them what they meant because she had learned no American slang. Kelsy Coppock Shad Coppock Kendra Cory James Cullin Mike Custer Dan Dahir Michelle Darveaux Lisa Davis Amanda DeSantiago Randy Dilley Mike Dominguez Scott Downing Kelly Dunlop David Echeagaray Wendi Ellerbeck Tammy Erwin Jenny Evans Debbie Fairchild 150 Seniors But communicating grew easier for Baur as she learned more English and became accustomed to American slang. "I still have some difficulties speaking with people because I'm timid, but I can understand what they say," said Baur. "Now I use my dictionary only to do my homework." Foreign exchange students also had to adjust to differences in American school customs. · Sergio Alvarez '90, said that in Spain, the teacher moved from class to class each period, rather than the students. "I preferred the Spanish way because there were always the same people in my classes," said Alvarez. "Also, here there are students from each grade in the same class, and in Spain, only students in the same grade are in the same class." Benoit discovered that relationships between teachers and students were different from those in France. "I think students here have a lack of respect for teachers," said Benoit. "They joke around a lot as friends. In France, the teachers and students are strictly there to teach and learn." Exchange students struggled to overcome language barriers and foreign customs as they adapted to a new lifestyle. -Michele White Vickie Falcon Mike Feierfeil Wendy Feilen Dan Fichter Stephanie Foss Shelly Ferris Lori French Rob French Mike Frieze Eric Fulfs Walt Furler Jorge Garcia FOREIGN FLOAT MAKERS.

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

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

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

Guys were also concerned with . their appearances. Matt Petersen '90, had long, permed hair, but by his senior year, he found the short, straight "GQ" look to be his preference. Fashion was another major change for Petersen. " I used to pay your basic $50 to $60 for good jeans," said Petersen, "but now my style has changed, and it's not uncommon for me to spend $100 on just a pair of pants." Like Petersen, Nate Jungman '90, also found a change in wardrobe to be important. "I've become much more fashion conscious over the past few years," said Jungman. "Now style and namebrands are more important to me than they ever were before." Tanning sessions also played a part in the new Jungman. "Tanning, along with more fashion sense, has given me a lot of confidence," he said. " I've become more outgoing."

In the back corner, a figure sat alone, too timid to join the others. In most freshman classes this was a typical situation, but after four years of high school, much of the shyness wore off, and more confident, talkative souls emerged. Seniors Becky Baumker ·and Scott Downing said they overcame their shyness through four years of working on publications. Since they had no choice but to interview a variety of people, they became used to talking to others. "In ninth grade I had to interview math instructor Connie Byrnes about her hobby of showing dogs," said Downing. "I was intimidated, scared, and I had no clue as to what I was supposed to do. I had to interview her five times before I did it right. Finally, I went with senior Barb Leu and watched her do an interview. That's how I learned to interview." Being forced to talk to people they otherwise would not A CHANGED GIRL.

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

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

Basic Math, Algebra 1-2, 3-4 162 Teachers Only seven chances were allowed, and Mary Gepner, social studies teacher, was on her last try. If she didn't punch in the right combination of keys, she would have to start the command to print all over again. "The first time I printed on the computer, Mr. Brown said I had seven times to get it right," said Gepner. "I tried and tried to get the right combination of keys and on the seventh chance, I finally got the right keys. I was desperate because by that time, Mr. Brown was gone." After AL won a $50,000 grant for a new IBM computer system, a few teachers found themselves sitting down to a computer for the first time. Some teachers stressed as they adjust to computers "I didn't like learning how to use the new computers because of the fact that I'm a complete computer moron," said Gepner. "But the kids liked using them and that was enough for me." Donald Scheibeler, Latin instructor, also had difficulties with the new computers. He had taken a short course on computers at Kirn but discovered that he didn't even remember how to tum the computer on. "I don't know if I'm right brained or left brained, but I do know computers make me scatterbrained, Scheibeler said. "I just don't understand computers at all." Although the new computers were difficult for some teachers, eventually most found them easier to use than expected. Marsha Grandick, English teacher, discovered they weren't that bad. "When we got the new computers, I thought, 'Oh no!' because I was comfortable with the Apples," said Grandick, "but my old skills carried through." Fortunately, those who needed help could always count on their colleagues to turn to for support. With Larry Brown's great patience to answer my questions, I've learned how to use a computer," Gepner said. "I figured if Mrs. Smoley can use them, so I can I." -Kristi Knoernschild Richard Reeves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amy Lookabill -~~~------- BIG 6 II When the Journalism Department sat down to discuss and decide on a theme for the 1989-90 yearbook, we wanted it to be unique. In the past, the yearbooks have had more of a serious theme. This year we wanted a modern, up-beat yearbook that would tie with the school, the students and still have a journalistic . view. With this in mind, we put our thinking caps on and had a hay-day of a brainstorm. We went through lists and lists of song, movie and sitcom titles. After days 1 of thought and deliberation, we finally ~ narrowed it down to uThe BIG Picture." It met every requirement we had made as a class. It tied in with Saint Albert as a school. We may be small in size, but we have large amount of spirit and closeness. The students can also associate with it because of it's up-to-date theme and personal viewpoints. What more could you ask J or? Amy Lookabill Homecoming Week is always full of fun and excitement for both teachers and students.

Whether students were dressed as their favorite superhero or a terrifying monster, they were full of spirit and ready for the week's festivities. It all began on a rainy Thursday night, September 23. There was a twist to this year's pep rally as it was held inside the old gym instead of the football field which added warmth and closeness to the heart of the night. The rally ended when Megan Ryan and Tony Alf ers were selected royalty. "I was very surprised and honored being selected king," stated Tony Alters, "just being on court was more of a priviledge for me than a competition." Friday night brought more excitement for the spirited Falcons as they crushed Boystown, 33- 20.

Although relaxing is one of the main goals of the students they still find time to attend school functions, date, go out with friends and attend parties. In recent years, you find most students going out with a group of friends rather than dating. But for some students such as Amy Lookabill and Jim Romano maintaining a relationship is a high priori among their high school activities. As Amy es, "At first you just have the attitude, if it I 1t lasts, if not I will live."

Spending time together on weekends is often as important as spending time together during school. students learn responsibility while earning During the course of high school, people run in to different situations in which they must make important decisions. One of these important decisions, which is sometimes made by the parent and not the student, is whether or not to get a job. When freshman Steve Belt was asked why he got a job at such a young age, he commented, "When I have a job it makes me feel like I'm on my own. The fact that I don't have to rely on may parents anymore for money, makes me feel mature. I think I have grown to be more responsible." Whether or not one has a job during high school can tell a lot about a person. For instance, how responsible they really can be. Some of the students at Saint Albert have experienced tremendous pressures while trying to maintain a job as well as keeping thier grades up. And to top it all off, we all have friends who really don't appreciate being ignored! But most of us learn to understand now what the necessities of life are, and having a job to prepare ourselves fa the real world waiting for us out there is one o e necessities on the lists of some student . ennifer Kruse Kem Kavars stays diligently busy aJ Drug Town while working on Halloween night.

Feelings of anxiety and anticipation somehow work their way into the pommers' thoughts. Questions such as "What if I biff?" " What if I forget where I'm supposed to go?" " What if I forget my counts?" somehow enter into the pommers' minds. Yet somehow they've always managed to calm down and get pumped-up for their performance. Getting excited is the easy part as second year member Chali Inserra joins the squad together in the chant "energy and excitement are in us ... " Then the squad joins together in a prayer. Unlike other activities there are no "stars" on the porn pon squad. The main emphasis on the squad is unity, as they work towards a common goal. The importance of unity was best described by Marsha Heenan, "We need to work together so we can make the performance it's best, and squad unity needs to be at its peak. '' There are many reasons why squad unity is so important. The closer a squad becomes, the easier it is to reach their goals.

Mrs. Jacky Adams, a three year veteran as drama advisor retired last year after many years of teaching. This year, consequently, brought new faces, ideas, and varying personalities. The new drama instructor is Ms. Jill Timmer. Ms. Timmer not only brought her own new ideas to S.A. but she was also able to entice new students to audition for this year's production. The musical itself was also a first for the drama department. "The Wizard of Oz" had never been performed on the S.A. stage. "I chose to do 'The Wizard of Oz' because as a movie most people are familiar and can identify with it," stated Timmer. She also commented that the strong interest that it generates helped to fulfill one of her goals of a " . .. large, versatile cast." The changes were felt by both old and new drama members. "Learning the basics from one instructor, and then expanding my experience with another was hard at first, but now it's easier," stated junior Warren Bertsch, two year veteran and Lion in this -year's production. Prayer was another change brought in by Timmer. "The cast praying as a whole has brought us closer and showed me the real person behind some of the oider cast members, 11 expressed sophomore Andrea Versaci, munchkin and stage crew member. Another change in the Drama Department was the large amount of new people involved. Newly "discovered" senior actress, Erin Taylor, responded, " My friend, Shiela, talked me into trying out because I was looking to try something new as a senior. My part as an Ozian is great because I get to act without too much pressure." The Tinman a.k.a. John Conzemius quivers over the thought of killing the Wicked Witch while his friends Dorothy. Scarecrow. and Lion share in his fright. Although a manifold changes have occurred many people are ready for still more. " I'd LOVE to see more i-gh school students get involved, because the more students that get involved the more respect and admiration we get from other students regarding all the work we put into every produc- 1 tion,'' exclaimed freshman Stacy Mcintosh, who played the lead role of Dorothy. The play was exciting, and when asked to describe the musical in as few words as possible, the overwhelming responses included, ' ' . . . colorful, fun, full of energy, fast-moving, exciting, imaginative, fun for all ages, and a return to childhood years. 11 This musical, with all its newness, enabled the students to give individual and combined performances of a lifetime.

Cha Ii Inse rra gives a s p ecia l fri e nd a hug. Students come to school everyday dreading homework and lectures, but what they don't realize is the important Christian values they're learning. Every year St. Albert has special events that bring out the good Christian values. For example, "Up With People" visited the St. Albert student body on September 15. The organization is a group of people between 17-24 who travel and teach others about life around the world. Senior Sheila Konz signed up to travel with Up With People in the future. "I signed up because I want to experience new and different cultures. I want to meet people and travel with them,'' commented Sheila. Although there are no specific requirements, the association has a certain amount of people and even has applicants on a waiting list. Arrangements are made for the members of "Up With People" to stay with families who live in the vicinity. "It was a great experience for me to have one of the 'Uppies' stay with us. We had a girl from Sweden and it was interesting to learn about her life," said senior Jennifer Thompson . Community service is another way students learn Christian values. "I get a kick out of class when one of the students talks about something that happened and they are happy to talk about it,'' said instructor Kris Wiley . The course allows students to leave the school building for two class periods and visit nursing homes, shut-ins, and elementary schools. When senior Julie Smith spoke of her shut-in she added, "Immediately I thought I was going to hate it, but as I got to know the lady I had a great time."

The freshman volleyball team consisted of only six team players, just enough to fill the floor when. the game was to begin. Due to low numbers the girls had to play every game to the very last point.

The 1989 football season polished off a winning decade for the Falcons. The season marked a 9th time winning season, making state playoffs for the 5th time and 7th time Conference Champions. Although they encountered many challenges and obs tac I es, the Falcons pulled through with a 5-3 record. The Falcons, however, had larger schools and even bigger players to compete against. "It's the toughest schedule we've played since I've been a coach. There aren't many 2A schools that would play such a difficult schedule," stated Head Coach Marshall Scichilone. The Falcons were lead by a close knit group of seniors who set the tone for the talented underclassmen. The team worked together and proved to be dedicated and hard working. The coaching staff also deserves recognition for their efforts. Senior Matt White stated, "If it wasn't for the coaches, we wouldn't have gotten as for as we did." The Falcons had other several 'extras' . For the first time the team had student managers. These students were dedicated and spent many hours with the team.

Success bonds harriers • zn The Big Stride Cross Country at St. Albert has traditionally been dominated by the female gender. In the 1989 season, however, the Falcons evened out the score with the Saintes. Five new members added to the already strong nucleus, including freshmen Corey Stock, Jason Smith and Mike Doner, junior Marc Schnitker, and senior Corey Schmida. With the help of the veteran runners, the Falcons ran their way to what may be called one of their most successful seasons. With two Invitational Championships under their belts, the boy's team ended their season with a bang by placing third at Districts and thirteenth at the State competition in Ames. " The boys team did really good considering the new runners, and they really helped them a lot," stated junior harrier Diane Fischer. The Saintes accomplishments were also numerous with the leadership of senior and MVP, Shelly O'Brien. Placing second, third, and fourth in individual standings at the Cont erence meet and winning four titles overall five Saint es qualified for State competition : O'Brien, Molly Malone, Andrea Versaci, and Carolyn Gorman. The men's team elected two members for co-MVP's: Mark Shea and Adam Jones, two runners who were virtually inseparable throughout their seasons. When asked to reflect on his thoughts of the season, Shea replied with a sigh, "the only thing I regret is that I won't be back next year to watch them progress."

It's that time of year again when Coach Loren Lintner and his wrestling squad engage in the 1989-90 schedule. However, this year was different from year's past. Although this year's team was young and other wrestling teams gave them tough competition, the team achieved many goals. Coach Lintner stated, "because we've taken beatings and they have a year under their belts they'll be able to compete with everybody because they'll be the same age as other wrestling teams. /1 The tough breaks for the team were mostly due to an age factor. A great number of young wrestlers were competing against people with two or three years of experience. According to Lintner, the future stars are the three sophomores who have worked hard since last year, Chad Standard, Jerry Schmitz, and Tim Evers. "They have shown great leadershiQ qualities. Also with the twelve freshmen involved who are working together they'll be tough, /1 added Lintner.

The team had their own unique personality and they play a very good brand of basketball," stated Coach Heithoff. lnspite of all the injuries, the Saintes had a very impressive season. The Saint es first game was against, city rival AL., and fell short by losing, 37-74. Although the Saintes then lost the next two games to Blair, 55-67 and to Heelan, 38-55, the Saintes then went on to a 7 game winning streak, by winning games against such teams as, Duchesne, Roncalli, Bellevue Christian, another city rival T.J.. Cathedral, Roncalli, and Flanagan. The Saintes then lost 4 more games and won six before going into first round districts against A.L. The Saintes came out ready to play a very intense game but came up short by losing to the Lady Lynx by the score of 58-47. As the year ended for the Saintes, they proved to many people that they can achieve their goals by keeping a positive attitude and over coming injuries that may came along the way.

The Big Basket The JV girls basketball season was short but sweet. Due to the injuries, the girls who would have played on JV played on Varsity. But, this gave some of the younger players the chance to play Varsity until the injuried players came back and the JV could begin to play their own games. With only six players on the team and five on the court, it was hard to play a tough game. Often there was only one person to relieve a tired player thus not giving a player enough time to rest. Some players also played a position with little experience which made it even harder on all the players and especially on the coach. One of the teams goals was to work together as a team and accept any challenges that might get in their way. "I feel as a team, we worked well together. We didn't let little things get in our way of playing and we were successful at what we did on the court," said Tina Ryan. The players performance on the court showed that they worked as one, not as individuals, which made the season more enjoyable. With not being able to play the first half of the season, this did not put a damper on their anxiety to play basketball. When the time came for them to play they were ready, no matter what obstacles they encountered. "I think that working with the varsity during practice the first half of the season really helped these kids get ready for their own games. It gave the kids more confidence and you could see this confidence when they were playing out on the court, as a team,'' said Coach Pat Kroll.

Falcon Excitement Capitilized By The BIG DUNK Last year the one word used to describe the boys basketball team was unselfish. This year they could be defined as EXCITING. There was seldom a dull moment when the 1990-91 Falcons took to the floor. They came in with an all new cast of characters after the previous year's undefeated state championship team. Even Coach Dick Wettengel was making his first appearance at the head coaching position after serving eight seasons as the Falcon's assistant. "I was real excited about coaching this team,'' Wettengel said, "I knew they had a lot of talent." The team's excitement was led by Most Valuable Player Jason Klement and his dazzling passes and his extraordinary driving lay-ups through the lane. Klement's excellent court perception helped him lead the team in assists. Mike Genereux led the quiet majority with his aggressive defense and Bryan Holder kept the fans cheering with his patented turn-around, over the head jump-shot . But the fan's favorite was Matt Way. The smooth junior often had the Falcon faithful on their feet Jarrod Konz goes for the mo ney with this trey attempt. with his incredible break away slam dunks. "He kept some of the more boring games exciting with his dunks," incited fan Wayne Johnson. Not only was this year's team exciting to watch, but they earned a respectable record as well. The birds soared through a tough schedule posting a fine record of 16 wins and 7 losses. All of the losses came in close contests to talented basketball teams including state qualifier Red Oak and Nebraska State qualifier Lincoln Pius, and one each to city rivals AL. and T.J. The honor roll of d efeated teams is equally impressive. It consists of Nebraska powerhouses Roncalli and Blair, conference rivals Neumann and Scotus and city rival Lewis Central.

The Big Dunk -E The 1990 junior varsity Falcons were a resilient squad with a extremely confident attitude. Several games were often won in the clinching moments of the fourth quarter, pressuring the team to come up with one extra basket. The Falcons exemplfied their tough spirit against Glenwood winning in triple overtime, 49-47. With a record reflecting the exciting season the team can only have a bright future. The team was built upon youth, with several starters playing with the varsity team also. This experience pushed the young Falcons forward, living up to the Falcon reputation. A new coach was also part of the Falcon recipe, as Rick Wahl encouraged first-class play and "expected the world from you" as a player. This was the first year the freshman team had played together as a team in competitive ball. The team itself was not a completely new line-up of players, most of them has been together since fifth grade. Freshman Bryant Ficek stated, "We've played together for years and those who just started seem to fit in just fine." The team is in no way sh6rf on determination, as Jerome Patten added, "I plan to keep practicing and pushing until I'm good enough to be on Varsity.'' Brendan Ryan shoots for two on a foul shot.

The BIG Swing When consulted with the idea of going out for golf many people ask the question, "Why would anyone want to got out for golf??!!" We'll contrary to" popular belief golf is a real sport. It even takes many hours of vigorous practices to perfect your driving, chipping, and putting skills. One of the reasons for many people's misconception about golf is that they picture golf as a leisurely walk on a nice spring day. Sometimes, however, you do need to take a short pause out of this walk to address the ball. Many people haven't even experienced the aggravation of a "wiff" (you know when you miss the ball, but a clump of dirt flies about 50 yards). For this year's boys and girls golf team, there are many determining factors for their interest in golf. Although, the golf team doesn't always obtain great success, you will always find them out on the course with great determination. Great numbers have never been evident in the girls program. However, for the first time in many years, the St. Albert golf team has come up with a junior varsity team that is well on their way to playing varsity. Numbers for the guys program were no great problem. Coach Heitoff adds by saying, " We had a great number of guys go out for golf this year, however, many were put on the 'rabbit program' ,in hopes of excelling to the varsity level. The St. Albert golf program has been building prestige over the last few years and is well on it's way to becoming a highly reguarded and respected sport among our community.

They practiced hard and, even though it didn't show in their records, played better than in years past. Freshman Molly Morrison stated that what she liked most about soccer was "Coach Richard Klement's ability to make everyone feel a part of the team and enjoy the games played." Her teammate freshman Alexis Becerra said, "a lot of the upperclassmen showed us the ropes and let us just plain enjoy ourselves." On the boys side, Senior Bryan Brabec stated, "It was disappointing season record wise. We played pretty stiff competition and fared very well against them with the difficulties our team had to overcome. All in all it was a fun season and Father Bud was also enjoyable to play for.'' Senior teammate Bob Martin added, "We had the potential to be a contending force in our conference, but we were unable to put things together when we needed to. I am excited to see what the younger players are going to be faring in the next couple of years!" This year wasn't a complete loss for the young Falcons or Saintes, they were winners in other categories such as gaining experience and having fun. They'll be back next year, a year older and wiser.

Hard work sent them to state. - ----- Just When You Thought You Won And The Season Is Over ... BAM! The Big Ace As the year comes to an end so does the spring season of sports comes to a close. This particular season includes tennis. The team this year has had a spectacular one. Few people realize the fun in such a competitive sport but there is also a lot of hard work involved. "I think the kids have done a great job. They all worked very hard and I will miss their enthusiasm," stated coach Kathy Beckman. The strong tennis team accomplished many feats this year and are proud of themselves and their teammates. One particular event that stuck in a few heads was the city meet when Jen Brown and Missy Schmida beat Lewis Central 9-7. Smiling Missy Schmida said, "that is the one thing I will never forget because L. C. is always favored to win and we won." But the season wasn't over. The next major accomplishment of the season was sending seniors, Adam Jones and Corey Schmida, to State. Although it was quite a surprise, it was also something that made the tennis players push and strive to be the best thereafter. "This was my first year out for tennis and I thought we probably wouldn't do so hot because tennis isn't considered much at this school, but Adam and Corey had the talent to go all the way and they did. I thought it was a great example for the kinds of goals we should set for next year." Letitia Sanchez Melissa Schmida strikes again with her strong serve and powerful form. Bottom row L to R: E.

Losing many girls was an obstacle hard to overcome, but the new players started out with a bang. This year's members included seventeen young hopefuls, including senior Shari Hughes and junior Kari Hanafan who returned after serious knee injuries during last year's season. Sophomore third baseman Jeanine Masker felt positive about the season, adding "it will be fun and exciting.'' Coach Lintner agreed stating that "a successful season would add in r ,... - the improvement of .the team itself and development of indiviual agility.'' This year's baseball team far from lacks in numbers with over twenty-eight players on the team. Sophomore pitcher Rich Swank felt that "the season's hardest task would be to get by some of the Sioux City teams, but by beating AL. they made a great start." Second baseman Chad Standard felt positive about the season, stating that "there are many positive aspects of our team, we never give up and are very determined."

Jenny Rawlings commented, "It's nice to make it there, especially since it's my senior year. It is so great that so many people qualified." Coach Mehsling and the Falcons also attended eight meets, and were the champions of one meet. Four tracksters qualified to run at state in three events. Even though the season didn't get started off like they had hoped, the Saintes and Falcons were proud of their finish. Rawlings said, "This season was the best.

Diversity is apparent throughout the senior class. Each member comes from different areas, surroundings and each lives their own life. This class will be remembered for its individuality and effervescence. Like all classes, it has it's share of wild times, but there is also a lot of good in the class. Marsha Heenan remarked, "There is such a wide variety of personalities yet we are friends with each other, even if we have differences." With all of these aspects to take into consideration, the class of 1990 will most likely remain friends throughout the years.

For you each are the very best. We have walked many days. Through these long and narrow halls, And whether empty or not. Special moments we recall. Although many won't admit it, I know we feel the same, These halls have given us something special. A goal for which to aim. There are those of us, Who started out as friends, And now we feel , That those friendships just end. But I feel that we all, No matter what we think now. Will lose a piece of ourselves, When we take a final bow. For the piece that we a ll will miss. Is the presence of each other, And the little things from each other we get, Will be given to another. Although we're all not the best of friends. Friends we all still are, And so to each of my friends. I wish the best fo r you by far. My wish for each of you, Is really quite plain. I wish for you to reach your dreams, And allow joy and love to remain. When May arrives. And we leave the great S.A .. I will miss each of you. And hope you never lose your way. Our se.nior year. it has been fun. Oh yes, it's been a blast. But I can't help but feeling. It went much too fast. My only regret is this, Which I must now share with you. That we realize how precious. These days have been and how few. And so to the class of 1990. I bid you a final "Good-bye," And hope you get the best of life. For you are the best in my eyes.

Not only was h-_ __, there a new director to work with, but also a completely different style of scripts. This year's spring play was a hilarious comedy entitled, "The Foreigner''. This script fit the personalities of the cast, which included Mark Shea, Sheila Konz, Wayne Johnson, Warren Bertsch, Matt Helms, Meg Gronstal, and John Conzemius. Acting veteran Sheila Konz stated, "I enjoyed doing this production a lot because so many of the cast fit the character that .. 'iey portrayed. It was a blast to watch them all. inis was my first "real" comedy, and with such a caught the Big great cast and director, I couldn't have had a better time." This feeling was shared by the entire cast. When asked what his favorite cliara er throughout his acting career was, Mark Shea stated, "I liked playing the stage manager in "Our Town", but this one was probably my favorite." However, the cast wasn't the only ones who enjoyed the play. Many people, including members of the student body felt this was one of the best productions put on by the Drama department. For days after the production, students were talking about "The Foreigner" and their favorite parts of the play. Amy Lookabill Julie Smith ..

Family and friends are a good source of informaton. Sometimes staying with a relative or friend at college can give you a better picture of what your life will be like away at school. "I have a sister that attends U.N.L., who l'ved stayed with. It helped my decision on going there," stated Mike Genereux. First impressions of schools are what effects you the most. "I liked the campus and the area of town, it was very pretty, and clean. I also saw the good education system of the school," stated Shari Hughes Part of growing up is going away to college. Out on your own, there are many activites at college to keep you busy, inumerable sports, frats, sororities, and clubs. "I want to get a full feel of college before I commit myself. I'd like to see what I'm up against first." stated Julie Smith. College takes a lot of thought. Making that decision relieves the pressures of choosing and being excepted.

Erin Hannan uses powerful lungs and cheeseballs to relieve some of the immense pressure placed on her as a junior during the homecoming pep rally. The underclassmen at St. Albert have become much closer in the past year despite the differences in each individual class. As freshman making y our rr BIG ST ART," you experience many dramatic changes in all aspects of your life .. Most importantly is the change from lowly j unior high to a member of the high school crowd. Though not completely changing social environments, sophomores also experience many exciting changes which increase the distance crossed as you take the u BIG STEP. " The first step most experienced is the often frightening step behind the wheel of a car. Finally, the junior year is said to be the toughest. Juniors often experience the u BIG WAIT" for the weekends which are the best relief for the u BIG WEIGHT" of balancing the work during the school week.

Juniors find themselves in the big "WEIGHT" As a junior, one looks forward to and waits for their final year of high school. In actuality, junior year is a preparation year for the final year. There are many things to look forward to as seniors. Not having to sell candybars for Prom, college representatives coming to St. Albert and TEC. Yet, there are things required by juniors that aren't required by seniors.Prom is a perfect example. Juniors sponsor Prom for the seniors. A requirement to go to Prom is to sell one case of candybars or in other words two boxes of forty-eight. If this requirement is not met, one cannot go to Prom or attend senior ring mass the following year. So, many juniors are looking forward to when they are seniors so selling candybars is no longer a requirement. "I'll be relieved next year that I won't have to sell candybars because it is very time consuming,'' junior Amy Evers stated. As a junior, one must think about the future. Junior year is the year to think about whether or not college is the next step after graduation. St. Albert help juniors and seniors with this problem by having college representatives come to S.A. and talk to the kids who are interested in attending college. "The reps were very helpful. Through them they made me realize all the choices I had," junior Nicole Gronstal stated. People also look forward to TEC and how fun it will be. As junior, Melanie Wasinger stated, "I think it'll be fun meeting new people and getting to know them. " Robi Thomas, Pam Lookabill and Michelle Walter Doug Fischer and Marc Schnitker look and listen intently to the college rep from Loyola University. - Matthew Noon and Jason Nielsen share a laugh at a football dinner before a game.

" Matthew Way Juniors attempt to balance the scales • zn • • • the big WEIGHT As a junior, students take more responsibilities than were used to as an underclassman. Whether it's getting your homework in or getting to work on time, it all depends upon budgeting time. Juniors must balance many activities that could interfere with the limited time given. Balancing time between schoolwork and jobs, not to mention extra activities, is of great importance during the junior year. There are many things expected of juniors, to get good grades and sometimes get a job. Junior year is said to be the hardest year of high school and it's important to get good grades. Junior Mat Van Scoy stated, "my parents don't expect me to get on the honor roll but they do expect me to pass all my classes." Many juniors get jobs due to lack of allowance as they approach their late teens. As junior Brett Moffatt, stated, "I got a job because I needed the money, and it gave me something to do." Participating in extra-curricular activities is also an important aspect in the life of a junior. Whether it's on the field, on the court, or on the stage, time still must be balanced. According to junior Stephanie Klement, "it's difficult to stay up late doing homework and then get up early the next day and go to school. It's very tiring." It's difficult to balance everything but as a junior it must be done. Besides, if it hasn't been learned all ready, balancing weights of a tough schedule with waiting for the last year of high school is only the first step in a life-long scale.

You are no longer treated like a child and you are expected to live up to the responsibilities of not only your peers, but your parents as well. "I feel more independent because people don't look down on me as much,' ' stated Kelly O'connor. It is evident to others the drastic changes which take place between your freshman and sophomore year. Experiences come about, sweet sixteen, the drivers license, and yes the big kiss. Kissing is a big step in a sophomores priorities (kissing up that is). Being a sophomore is a big challenge as you worry if the upperclassmen will like you. Starting a whole new life as you open up to a world with new opportunities with your older classmates. "I feel a lot more comfortable --------------------------------- with upperclassmen this year than I did last year. I feel that they have more respect for me," stated Anne Holder. Not only is this a time to get to know the upperclassmen, but also your own class. "I think our class is really close, we have all matured so much in the past year" added Nick Conzemius.

Andrea Versaci Pa rents night is a lways a special event as shown by Nicole Ravlin, escorted by her pa rents. Sophomores prepare themselves for • • • the big STEP As you enter your sophomore year many things change in comparison to when you were a freshman. Your activities, attitudes and responsibilities change drastically. Since most students turn sixteen while they are sophomores, you can find them going more and more places without the company of their parents. No longer are they continually asking for a ride to the movies or to a friends house from their parents. Instead they grab the keys, hop into the car and drive themselves to their destination. Driving, however, is not the only privilege gained during the sophomore year. Most students are allowed to date on a regular basis. Some can even be found working at the local grocery store or even the mall to earn their own spending money. It's also not uncommon to find sophomores participating in varsity sports. But let's face it, the real advantage to becoming a sophomore is that you are no longer a freshman. As you take "The Step" from your freshman to sophomore year, you increase your responsibilty and maturity. Your parents no longer look at you as a child, but treat you as a responsible adult. Janna Hicks agreed with this statment and added, "My mom allows me to make my own decisions, which probably has made me more mature." Not only are many privileges gained during they sophomore year, but a greater undserstanding of yourself and what you want to do with your future is acquired.

You have put in your time in the primary and elementary schools and spent two years in junior high being the "little guys on the hill," but not anymore. Now is the time to reap the rewards of your hard work or suffer the consequences for the lack of it. This is the time that the young junior high students become a new addition to the Saint Albert mainstream family, the new freshmen <;lass. This major step in your life brings many different feelings such as the thrill and enthusiasm of more luxurious atmosphere, but also the fear and nervousness of increased responsibility. Parents tell you it's time to bring your academic performance to the peak of your potential and coaches want you to start working yourself harder for yourself and the teams benefit. You then realize that being older isn't neccessarily easier. This is also a trial period to test your patience while you wait and hope to be accepted by the older students in sports, arts and the mixed classes of all high school grades. For the students in arts you try your hardest to show your prowess on stage, in band or in art class. Now that your freshmen you have the opportunity to audition for the spring and fall plays.

Just what is a Freshman? Websters Third New International Dictionary lists freshman as: "1. one having as yet <:)nly the rudiments of knowledge especially in a particular field or occupation, a. a ,student in his/her first year in a secondary school." There's more to being a freshman than that. Not yet old enough for Prom, but too old for the junior high, this leaves them with the new semi-formal Snowball. Jenny Christensen added "I was excited about the switch because I got to go shopping!" Other advantages of being a "frosh" are first year elections for class officers, pep rallies, and extracurricular activities like going to the football games and the traditional trip through the cemetary to the Pizza Hut after the game. Then with your new Mike Pattee glances aside to help a classmate. Angel Bernemann watches an intense boys varsity basketball game with a look of sheer concentration. found freedoms and trusting parents you go to the basketball games and fill up the section left behind the "old frosh class." The freshman seem to fit in with the upperclassmen. New student Kyle Evans stated "I thought that everyone was friendly and helpful." They get along good with the older kids and look up to them as role models. Matthew Smith also added "I loo!< up to Bryan Brabec because he is a leader." The unity of the freshman class is strong and will most likely stay with them. Coach Heithoff stated "these kids are really a neat group, they accept one another well, and have a lot of spirit." All in all the freshman class is close, they are a family. The freshman have an "Innocence of Outlook" and always will.

These people make up a part of the St. Albert family which we call the volunteers. Every day throughout the year you see many different people in the office, either working the copy machine, stuffing envelopes with monthly handouts, or just helping out. Jeanne Patten, Dr. Avise's secretary, stated, "the school could not run without the support of volunteers. They are deeply appreciated." There are many people who give their time to help, that are behind the scenes and don't need praise for a job well done. There are many reasons to become a volunteer at St. Albert. Jean Lee said, "If eel closer to my children's teachers." Another reason that many become involved is because they know that people are needed, and they feel that they can fulfill that need. Becoming a volunteer is very easy. Barbara Walter said, "I signed up for it at registration," while Sherry Hobbins stated that she was asked by an office worker to help out. Volunteers make up a very important part of running St. Albert and deserve credit for the things that they accomplish. They are hard workers and are highly appreciated by students and faculty.

The faculty members. Sure, that may be something peo pie don't like to think about when it comes to returning to school after a nice long vacation, but when you think about it St. Albert wouldn't be the same without them. The teachers here are considered to be understanding people. They go out of their way to make things easier on us even if that means their job becomes a little harder. A/though some students · don't notice the small j av ors, the authority Ji gures are usually recognized /or special tasks. When asked what she thought of the faculty at St. Albert, Mrs. Wanita Printy-Zika said , u I enjoy the people. Everyone is so cooperative and easy to work with. All the good spirit helps during a long day." Letitia Sanchez Tom Heithoff and Virgie Oatman excha nge glances as they discuss the exciting day at school. How 'bout those sc hool lunches? II Discipline only part of being ... The Big Cheese One of the most important pieces of Saint Albert's smooth functioning machinery is the performance of its administration, made up of principal Dr. A vise, vice principal Tony Jaworski, athletics director Mike Kavars, counselor Dean Bragg, junior high coordinator Marilyn Wandersee and Msgr. Robert Chamberlain. Although they play a vital role in the succes of St. Albert, they are often regarded as enemies to the students because the responsibility of discipline which falls on their shoulders. None of the students enjoy being disciplined but deep down they realize that however unpleasent, it is necessary. Junior Roger Wilson said "it's wrong that they are regarded as our enemies, but it shows how much they care about our school. Anyone who can take that and still do their job deserves a lot of credit." It is very important to realize these unsung heroes of any school system . That doesn't mean that you have to fall all over yourself going to extremes in your gratitude toward them, but just a friendlY' "hello" in the hall or even listening to what they have to say can mean a lot to these people. Another positie aspect of the administration are the functions which they approve, such as the dating game and our annual magazine sales. Instead of focusing on the necessary aspects of the administration such as dicipline, punishments, demerits, detentions and so on, we should try to look past the not-so-pleasent duties and pay more attention to the fact that these jobs are vital and without them our school would have no order or direction. Warren Bertsch Athletic Director Mike Kavars uses a hand jester to further emphasis his point to Dr. Avise and Head Custodian Harold Russel.

Ca ro li ne Ms. Wiley and Mr. Bragg take time out to show that friendships go along with working at St. Albert. Several faculty members show the importance of working well together and being friends in the St. Albert family . Faculty closeness composes The Big Apple "We are all pointed in the same direction to influence kids and make a difference in their lives," stated Mr. Wettengel. In recent years the closeness of faculty members at Saint Albert has increased. Teachers are now spending more time with each other, both in and out of school. Teachers not only spend their planning periods together, they also attend other school events such as sports and drama presentations. A new member of the St. Albert faculty, Miss Timmer, feels that the environment of teaching in a Catholic school affects the relationship with other teachers. "We share a common Christian belief and a concern for the students and each other," stated Timmer. Coaches also have close friendships. The coaches talk about their games, practices, and their different strategies. Mr. Wettengel's favorite part of S.A. is the bonds between coaches and students. He added, "the close relationships with coaches is the best part.'' Carrie Persinger Faculty members often value the opinions of others while working on school projects.

Both Jeanne and Marcia find working together sta' ff runs school can be more beneficial on difficult projects. } } smoothly, offering ... the Big Help Do you know who arrives at school earlier than almost every student and teacher? The Saint Albert Staff, that's who. That's right. By the time you arrive at 8:00 a.m., the cooks have breakfast waiting and ready for you to thoroughly enjoy, the janitors have all the fixtures working and the floor polished to a gleaming shine, and the secretaries all ready know the answers to any question that comes up during the day. This vital group of people are all too often overlooked, even though they are extremely instrumental in the everyday operation of our school. Nearly everyday the cooks are to school and working by the hour of 6:30, which is even before most morning practices (which start about 7:00). After first hour, the "S.A. Chefs" begin their mad dash to have a hot scrumpious lunch ready for the hunQrY students that have first lunch at 11 :00. After more than an hour of serving the work is far from over. In fact, these dedicated ladies usually stay until about 2:30 making sure everything has been cleaned up and making sure things are ready for the next day. t\~e BIG BUCKS As you know, the success of St. Albert High School is due to the support of the peo pie associated with the school. One of the aspects accomplished year after year is the Yearbook. The title of the yearbook this year is "The Big Picture." With that in mind, take a look at "The Big Picture" of a yearbook in the making. Every year the Journalism Department orders 200 yearbooks. Those books cost around $10,000 to be produced. The school sells the books for $20-$25 a piece. The figures show that we don't make enough money by selling the books alone. Most of the money comes from our advertisers, patrons, and fundraising. This year we recived over $1,000 from our advertisers. We also received nearly $300 in donations from our patrons, and every year the Journalism Department is awarded $4,960 of school sponsored money. We also earned ov~ $2,000 in fund raising. If it weren't for the public, patrons and all others, we wouldn't survive. So a big ''Thanks" goes out to all who've supported us. The 1989-1990 Journalism Department and Yearbook Staff hopes you enjoyed the yearbook!

Coach Schelling had the players lifting weights all through the off-season, and talked most of them into going out for track . Even though all the hard work paid off, they didn't reach their goal of making it to the playoffs. To top it off, Scott Johnsen missed the last four games due to a broken collar bone. The Trojan offense added a new run and shoot type offense to assist the young quarterback, Brian Nelson. But the experienced de- tense was stinging, just like the defenses in the past. Coach Schelling said, "It was a decent rebound from last year, not quite as good as I would have liked. But it was positive. We won games we should have." All Southwest Iowa and all-Western Iowa Conference first team honors went to Randy Ring and Dan Elliott.

They fell short of reaching the state tournament with a substate loss to Wall LakeView Auburn, 53-50. Cochran said leadership was the key.

Guard Lisa Huebner said, "I felt before the season had started we would be back at state. It was very disappointing." For the first season in five the Trojanettes were not part of the Iowa Girls State Basketball Tournament. With just three seniors this was a rebuilding season, ending at 11-10 with a third place conference finish. High points of the season were the triple overtime win over AvoHa/Shelby Tennant, the defeat of state- · ranked Lewis Central and the big win over Underwood in the first round of Sectionals. The forward court was tough with the strong shoot ing of Katie Leaders inside, the consistency of Angie Corrin outside, Sarah Brich's driving, and the great passes by Heather Stafford . Huebner's and Tonya Matthew's height along with Natalie Hitchcock's and Brenda Green's quickness made for a scrappy guard court.

Despite falling a few points short of the WIC title, Coach Larsen was very pleased with t he team's season long performance. After the ninth final regular season meet, the Trojans were fortuna t e enough to send four different events on to the state meet in Des Moines. Those who advanced t o the state meet were : Scott Johnsen (100 meter run), 44 ~ Tcock Rob Larsen (3200 meter run), Brian Nelson (110 High Hurdles), and the 4x100 relay team (Scott Johnsen, Justin Holstein, Jim Christiansen, and Brian Nelson). Girls Track Girls' coaches Pat Dalton and assistant Brian Reed brought to the 1990 season a very young team of 17, which inc luded only one senior. " Our goal going into the season was to develop the young kids quickly and get th e m into shape," said Coach Dalt on. Unfortunately for the Trojanet tes, they were unable to qualify anyone for the state meet, but nevertheless had many strong points. They set a school record in the 3200 relay and earned a third place finish at the Lady Dane Relays. Hard working and enjoyable were how the track coaches described their teams . "We very much are looking forward to next season," said Coach Larsen. "We will still be a young team next year and hope to continue to develop," added Coach Dalton . �FINISH FIRST.

Seniors and juniors visit with a representative from Colorado University to see if It's the place for them. With so many options, how do I ever decide? Today's job market isn't like it used to be. Thirty years ago, many people graduated from high school and then found a job. However, today more and more people are getting some type of job training before entering the work force . Although college is the most popular, many other students are going to technical, secretarial, or beauty schools. Joining one of the Armed Forces 66 such as the Air Force is also another option . Senior Lisa Huebner has chosen one of these options; she plans to attend airline school. ''Although college is not what I want to do, I still need a skill so I can get a good job," stated Lisa. Like Lisa, everyone needs to receive some kind of post high school education . It's a definite necessity in today's world . �BOOKING IT. Mr. McKercher gives some e xtra-special help to Pre-Calculus students before a test . Taking a new step What was new this year, required buying your own books, was taught in the morning, and proved to be a real challenge to many college-bound seniors? There's no doubt that the answer is the Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus and Biology college classes . For the first time, college classes complete with college credit were offered. These classes (Trigonometry/ Pre-Calculus and Biology) taught by Lee Killpack and Harold McKercher, proved to be a "real learning" experience. Mike Nieman said "Through taking both classes, I've really gained an understanding of college." If both these classes were taken, fourteen hours of credit were earned. This equals almost a semester's worth of credit. "I liked being in the Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus course because it put me ahead of many other high school seniors," stated Michelle Arbaugh . As a final comment, how did the teachers think of the new classes? Did they like them? "Hopefully in the future we will be able to add more college classes to our curricu1um said Mr . McKercher.

The ''New'' PE Usually, when people think of P.E., they think of the same old boring games: scooter hockey, physical fitness, soccer, and kickball . This year many new changes have been made . Some of these changes were swimming at the Neola pool, dancing the t w o -step, running the 68 ~ PE/Health mile, the stretch and reach, and fishing at Arrowhead in May. Why have these changes been made? The new teachers, Mrs. Taml Harman and Mr. Tim Conway, wanted to incorporate more life skills into the P.E. curriculum . These skills may be handy some day! �We expected bones and muscles . But it's fun! Students were surprised that Health was not just the study of bones and muscles. "We learned that being healthy includes being mentally healthy, also," said Shiloh McCool. Health class was increased to five days a week, and was required . The goal was to familiarize students with physical and mental aspects of life. Kristie Witt said, "It was a break from other classes, and it gave you time to learn about yourself. " There were many things to learn, from the study of the human body to making a budget and getting married. Michelle Warner expected health to be about bones and muscles, but found out it was fun!

With the addition of AutoCad. or computer drafting, a new "revolution" came to the Industrial Arts department.

It made the work get done much faster, and made it much easier to accomplish .

"The Wonder Years": On the way to high school Like the show "The Wonder Years" , T-C's junior high students worked toward being high schoolers . They struggled w ith school, extracurricular activit ies, parents, getting a driving permit and the opposite sex . Junior high students enjoyed doing these 7hings and exploring new ideas. They liked being in chorus, swing choir, and band, performing in several contests and concerts. Be- -- ing involved in afterschool sports was new, too . Eighth-grader Jeff Sparr commented, "I really enjoyed being in football, wrestling and track the past two years. It taught me a lot about competition and cooperation ." Junior high was also a time for new friends and getting to know each other b e t ter through parties and dances. Having a best friend and/or a group of close friends made junior high a special time. Eighth-grader Ann Meyerring said, "Being with my friends created most of my special memories. Going on those road trips with the band and swing choir were fun too ." "The Wonder Years" proved to be a fun and enjoyable time, and not the drag they are made out to be by parents and TV shows . r PREPARING TO BE AN ASTRONAUT.

From practicing typing to completing assignments. st udents found the computers t o be fun. FredWriter, Bank Street Writ er and AppleWorks were among t he p rograms learned. "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" and " Oregon Trail" were p op ular social st udies computer p rograms. Because c omp uter literacy was made a priority , students in " The Wonder Years" acquired skills for high school and beyond. Academics 73 �Breaking a new mold in art class When someone thought about art class, what did they envision? They may never have thought of anything exciting or fun , but the Advanced Art class has proven them wrong. This class, along w ith photography, added spice to the applied arts curriculum . New to this year also was that Randy Wiese became a full-time high school teacher. Through these two classes, students expanded their current knowledge of art and photography. Senior Keith Wilson enjoyed expanding himself in advanced art. He, with the rest of the class, made sculptures, and then fired them in the kiln. For any student who wanted to discover themselves and their abilit ies, advanced art was an excellent opport unity. IMMORTALIZED IN STONE.

From baking a cake in Home Ee to learning to use a saw in Industrial Arts to creating a masterpiece in Art class, students learned through experience. These things couldn't be learned by reading or seeing a film . They had to be tested and tried to see how they work. Senior Janette Thomas agreed . "The BUSY. BUSY. BUSY. Tricia Matthews won't give up until she finishes the lost stitch. best part of taking a "hands on" class is that you end up w ith something that you'v e made and designed yourself,'' said Janette. One of the best parts of hands - o n learning is its spontaneity. From one day to the next, anything can happen: a dress made with two left sleeves or a mishap with the power tools or an almost dropped ceramic creation. To get a piece of the action, check out "learning by doing". There's never a dull moment. �THE MEANING OF LIFE.

Disc ussing these topics by taking English and So cial Scienc es cla sses made school a little more intere sting. The English teachers, Mary Conway and 76 John Burke, taught their classes about different types of literature . They read such books as " The Count of Monte Cr isto" , " Hamlet " and " The Grapes of Wrath" . Student s enjoyed reading long books and then taking lots of fun quizzes over the material lea rned . From creating group · p rojects over chapt er English/ Social Sciences material in American History to doing self -relaxation exercises in Psychology, Gary lhnen' s students liked the variety in his classes . Ernest Abariotes ' classes examined world and national issues, and studied the Constitution , the Supreme Court, world hunger, nuclear arms race and terrorism. His class was kept on the ball by discussing many new and different current topics in class. Newsweek, Time and U.S. News and World Report were used to provide background to current topics . So you can see, Eng lish /Social Sci e nce s classes were d efinitely not ordinary c lasses. INTENSE STUDY . Senior Jennifer Cat toni pays attention ta lit erature as Mrs. C onway does the paperwork . �Who studies? Read, read, read. In school, it seemed like all we did was read . But how many students actually read the material which was given to them? How many of them read that history chapter or those magazine articles or even "The Grapes of Wrath"? If you ever got behind , you discovered how difficult it was to catch up . It was hard to finish assignments when you're a hundred pages behind. Senior Karen Brich said, "Don't ever get behind. As boring as it may be. it's even more boring to try to catch up." From freshmen to seniors, people complained about the amount of studying and reading time needed . "Although I enjoyed reading, I'm a slow reader. It took me a lot of time to complete the assignments," said sophomore Michelle Warner. To keep ahead of the game, study skills had to be learned and maintained to keep on top of all the information thrown at students . Yearbook editor Ashlee Martens had some valuable advice for underclassmen . Like the Nike ad, she advised, "Just do it!" WHAT ASSIGNMENT?

Academics 77 �.At-Risk program serves many purposes This year the Department of Education required all school districts to have an At -Risk program in place for students who may be at risk for dropping out of school. "There is no strict definition for at-risk students," said Beverly Schelling. "They could be someone who has had a run-in with the law, or simply someone who is having trouble passing classes. This doesn't mean they are bad, wrong, or uneducated." THREE IS NOT A CROWD. Gretchen King ( 10).

It moniters student academic and social progress, an important link in the prevention of dropouts. In striving for the gold, we showed that everyone deserves a chance to be their best. That's t he real goal of the At -Risk program. �NOT NOW, l'M WORKING . Jennifer Schuning ( 10) and Chad Martens ( 11) are deep in thought. A CENTER OF LEARNING . Like an oasis, the Reading room provides a place for quiet study . Reading/resource: Places to build skills Reading-ResourcePeer Tutoring-Walk-in Center - what does it all mean anyway? And now, anyone can get help with homework? Change was in the wind this year with our special services . Some things were the same , however. Reading students were still selected for Mrs. Tami Harman's reading classes on the basis of Iowa Tests of Educational Development. "This is not the Resource Room ." said Mrs. Harman. Reading deals with reading in the content areas and study skills." "In the resource room, we look at the student's total academic program and plan a personal program for each student," said Mrs. Beverly Schelling . Peer tutoring was added to the plan for both of t hese programs for next year. " We tried a walk-in center at both the junior high and the high school," said Mrs. Diana Benzing, junior high resource teacher. The junior high added Teach er Assistance Tearns to deal with student problems. Because of t he changes, more students were reached and a greater effort was made to keep all students in the regular classroom, she said . DOING FINE .

H u I <U TRI-CE NTER HIGH SCHOOL Bond issue bottoms out The Board of Education was faced with a very big issue this year: the Bond Issue . A poll given to the student body revealed a 129-62 vote in favor of the Bond Issue. The community voted against it , though, on March 20 with a 522-230 vote . The proposed issue's main objectives called for the addition of the Junior High onto the high school and a 400-seat audit orium . It would have c ost the taxpayers dn estimated 2.7 million dollars. .Mr., Rastovski . st ated that " by bringing the Junior High over here, we can save 25% of energy c osts from the inefficient fifty-year old Minden building ." He also added that it would have made better use of staff with students . "Too many teachers and coaches a re driving back and fort h when they should be in the classroom or on the practice field ." Changes for the 1990-9 1 school year have bottomed-out, b ut plans to reintroduce the Bond Issue a re underway . To be able t o reinstate t he Bond Issue , there must be a six month waiting period.

Brenda Guill felt the same way : "I wanted to go to junior high, because I felt too old in elementary." Although there were no recesses or air-conditioning, and sometimes the classes were harder, sev- enth graders felt that it was definitely better than elementary . Many said the teachers respected them and they felt they were capable. Another bonus was after school sports.

Many thought the sophomore year was the best of their high school life. Most were getting their licenses and no longer had to be chauffeured by "Mom and Dad" as Jennifer Jensen sometimes was. Aaron George was lucky to get a pick-up but he said, " My mom does help with half of the gas and half of the insurance.'' Most kids were so excited to get their licenses they did not realize the disadvantages such as Debbie Schierbrock's mom and dad "being much more protective.

St udents were now classified as "upperclassmen " and most were starting to prepare for life after high school by taking college prep classes such as Chemistry , Algebra II, or Model Office. Prom was also a new experience for many juniors. It was their responsibility to sell magazines and organize the prom for the seniors . Mrs. Sarah Hansen and Mr. Bob Johnson worked together with the class to plan Prom Jodi Schultz Jason Smith Rich Snedden Daryl Sparr Leasa Stark 1990. Michelle Christiansen said, "It was good not being the underdog anymore.'' Arie Thomsen Bert Van Nordstrand Aaron Wellman PROM COMMITTEE .

Class Officers "Being c hosen a class officer was neat because my whole class trusts me with all our money," said Keith Wilson. Having the chance to be a class officer is a really a rewarding position because it allows you to do a lot for your class . They have done a lot. They have designed our announcements and our senior shirt, decided on different colored robes for graduation, class flower, and planned our senior trip to Kansas City's Worlds of Fun . "I would say that they have done a lot for our class but they have made alot of decisions without g et· ting a vote from the class. For instance, with o ur senior shirt said Keith Siebels "I didn't have any idea about what they were going to look like untM they wanted me to sign my name .''

In the four years since they were eager freshmen, the class of 1990 grew into a group of diverse and interesting people. Members of the class are scholars, athletes, musicians, artists, and actors. The class of 1990 was hard-working. They set their goals and aspirations high, then they strove to reach them. Now, as the class of 1990 is embarking on a new chapter of their lives, they are looking back to their pasts. The successes they have left behind can be used to indicate the excellence that should be expected of them in the future. ~ r;z tlu &h1f11~ Jtf\ rUtUH cr t!P \1d1£t@4il 11 �ROCK ON Top: Mend i and Wendy being trendy.

Teamwork and a loving memorial were the main ingredients behind the tremend ous success of the 1989 Eagle Softball Team as they earned their first trip ever to the State Softball T ournament in Fort Dodge and compiled a record breaking 33-5 season. Tragedy struck our team a week before the seaso n was to begin. Our senior catcher, Lo ri Martin died from injuries suffered in an automobile accident. Lori was a team player and she had a way of making softball fun for everyone on t h e team . One of her goals for the season, like many of her teammates, was to make it to the state tournament. She also wrote that she wanted everyone to get along and work together. The softball team pulled together and dedi cated their season in loving memory to Lori and achieved t heir goal of a trip to the state tournamen t . At the state tournament, Underwood lost their first two games, then won their last two games to finish 13th. The Eagles also won the conference and fin ished first in every regular season tournament: Cherokee, WIC, Underwood, Treynor, Sectional, and Regional. The team was ranked in Class lA the entire season. The J.V. team finished with a 13-5-1 season record. Several players earned individual honors throughout the season.

" T he t hing that pleased me t he most, " he said, "was t he willi ngness of people in our communi ty to host sixteen Germa n stude nts even t hough we on ly too k five to Germany. I thi nk t hat is a great tribute to generosity of the people here in the Underwood School District." 106 On Wednesday, June 20, 1990, Sarah Ross, Dee Gach, Amy Gearhart, Heather Leaders, Melissa Zook, and Mr. Hawks left t he Omaha airport en route to Hildesheim, Germany. As participants in the School Partners Abroad program, sponsored by the Council on International Education Exchange, these students and t heir group leader stayed with host families in Hildesheim and attended classes at Gymnasium Himmelsthuer, a high school in this northern German city of 100,000 people in the province of Lower Saxony. One highlight of the stay was a trip to Berlin to see, among other things, "the wall"- or what was left of it! After an exciting three-week stay, the group returned to Underwood on July 12. The purpose of School Partners Abroad is to promote international understanding and provide a total immersion en vironment in which cultural awareness can be expanded and foreign language proficiency enhanced. Underwood is looking forward to hosting the Germans from Hildesheim when they arrive for their three-week stay this October. ��106 ���� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
