(Photo by Annie Pettit.) ~ howing off schoo l pride doesn ' t just mean cheering fo r the team. During Spirit Week it involved people going to all lengths to dress in unique costumes. Spirit Week started off with students seeing double on Twin Day. Tuesday was Opposite Gender Day, when they saw a lot of guys wearing their moms' clothing. "Revenge of the Nerds" took place on Wednesday. On Thursday, the halls looked like Avenue of the Stars as everyone from Maiilyn Monroe to Drew Carey emerged on Celebrity Day. Black and Gold Day ended the week as students showed their Trojan Pride. Students got their costumes at a variety of places to wear during Spirit Week. Some went to thrift shops while others made the m. "It i so metimes easier to make your cos tume because you can' t find what you ' re looking for anywhere else," Christal King said. The freshmen and sophomore classes tied for the most class participation in dressing up, cl ass skits and other pep rally events. "Since thi was my first year to participate, I thought it was really fun to dress up," Katie Gaudian said. Homecoming Week involved more than ju t dressing up . Tu esday ni ght the ten homecoming ca ndidates were auction ed off as slaves, alo ng with the junior and senior football j erseys, to help pay for the dance. Friday afternoon the pep rally took place outside the school for the first time in four years. Students witnessed the slaves singing and dancing. Some slaves also had to sit in a chair while their l uyer put eggs, chocolate puddi ng and many other food items in their hair. "The pep rally was more fun since it wa s outside and all the slave ' puni hment were di ffe re nt, " Katie Zellmer said. C la s skit were also performed with the junior class taking top honors with their own version of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. ,'Jf~ lrl t w. k 11tl 1? • ' �Homecoming King Jon Killpack and his brother Steve Killpack stand with Homecoming Queen Laura Gaudian and her sister Katie Gaudian, after the king and queen were crowned. (Photo by Lacey Donovan .) By Lindsey Lugsch }1omecoming is different every year. The music changes, the colors change and the people change. "This year the coronation was great," Katie Bowen sai d. The coronation consisted of a slide show foc using on Homecomjng Week, including photos of people dress ing up for the daily themes. There was a ceremoni al dance with the homeco ming court and th e presentation of the prince, princess, king and queen. The men in the homecorrung court wore black pants wi th white bl azers and carried canes. The women wore navy blue dresses with open backs. The theme for homecoming was "These Are the Days." The settin g of the coronation includ ed mu sic , darkness and spotlighting. The spotlighting was on the candidates when Arla Clausen and Tarru Harman recited their autob iographies. C lausen and Harman organized the coro nation along with the homecomi ng court. "Mrs. H arman and I wanted to make homecoming special and fun for all the kids," Clausen said. "The most enjoyable part about working on the coronation is the fina l product. The kids reall y appreciated it and got involved," she said. After the coronation, the dance started. Lauren McLand sborough said , "I went to the dance because all my fri ends were going and I thought it wou ld be fun! " Jessica Rugg les went to the dance because she knew it wou ld be fu n. "It's just tradition to go every year," she sa id. For many students who attended the dance, it was a ni ght to remember. 1. • 81 Student UFe "I felt LL~e CLV'vdereLL{il .

Contrary to many beliefs, Susie Petersen said it doesn't rai n that much in Seattle. She took th is pictu re of the space needle on a clear day during her vacation. (Photo provided by Susie Pete rsen.) Warm and stick y air, th e hummi ng of air conditioners, and the smell of sunscreen can only mean one thing - summer. During the three months of summer many students traveled, worked or just relaxed at home. " I stayed at home but I also went camping and fis hing a lot," said Justin Nelson. Other students went on the typical fa mily vacation. Jessica Ruggles drove with her family to Florida and then went on a crui se to the Bahamas. "My favorite part of the trip was going to Disney World," said Ruggl es . Malinda Willet, along with many other students, went to concerts over the summer. She went to Sweetsto k held at the Westfair Amphitheater. ·'My fav01ite band there was N' SYNC," said Willet. Many students go to camps over vacation to help them become better athletes or better vocalists. Laura Bahrke went to Creighton basketball camp. She said through drills and scrimmaging she became a better defense player. Lori Piper learn ed how to take better care of her voice and become an overall better singer at Northwest Missouri State University Music Camp of Excellence. Working was another way people spent their vacation. Allen Worden spent time delive1ing papers fo r The Dai ly Nonpariel. "I bought clothes and started a checking account with the money I earned on the paper route," Worden said. Although some stayed at home during their summer vacation, many took advantage of the freedom and did things they wouldn ' t be able to do if it was the school year. .1 Summer 11 --~- �Megan Barrier, Erin Schierbrock, Melissa Manhart and Amanda Gau hang out at Bellevue University after a weekend volleyball tournement.

To most, the 3:30 bell on Friday afternoon is a moment of relaxation, relief and freedom. At this moment, students are free to do as they please fo r· 65 hours. For some, work is in the schedule and for others, it is spending time with fa mily. Others may make pl ans to get together with friends and see movi es or go out for a " ni ght on the town." Brent Leaders said, "I see movies and go out to eat with my friends." Oftentimes, students fo und themselves in volved in school activ ities that preoccupied their weekends. Swing Choir competitions and Speech meets are just two of the many activities in which competitions fa ll on weekends. Adam Kramer participates in Swing Choir and Jazz Band, whkh both have weekend competitions. He j ust hopes that they can get home in time to do something on their own. Living in small towns can have its ups and down s. Many times students feel there isn' t enough to do. Students can often be seen leaving the small town and heading to a larger city in search of something to do. Christal King, Sarah Ring and Anne Kalamaja head to the Old Market on their weekends to hit the dance clubs. Kalamaja said, "It's a chance to meet new people from di fferent schools and see better looki ng guys." She also thinks it's a chance for students to have fun. A pos iti ve view on small town s is that it's easier to get to know everyone. Som e also feel it's easier to stay o ut of tro ubl e.

Sarah Ring is one person who likes to show who she is by the clothes she chooses to wear. Ring said, "I feel like I can be different and express my identity with clothi ng." Students have shown interest in the preppy style of clothing. Schuyler Johnson said some popular brand names are Tommy Hilfiger and Fubu. "The kids are getting more dressed up to come to school. I think Tri-Center students dress nicer on a daily basis," Johnson said. At the beginning of the school year, a popular style of clothing for girls was tank tops andj ean shorts. Cold weather brought the need for warmer clothing. Sweater were worn over collared shirts by guys and girls. Khakis and cargo pants were a preppy alternative to basic jean . When walking down the hal ls, the ou nd of Doc Marten boots could be heard. Doc Martens were extremely popular because of durabi lity. Ring said, "Everyone wants 'Docs' because they are a high quality shoe. They may be more expensive, but they are comfo rtable and last a long time." Hairstyles also took an interesting twist. Several girls cut their long hair to new, shorter styles. Kim Nieman was one girl who cut off her long hair. She said, "I have never had short hair. I thought it was cute and decided to try it myself." Nieman also said there are advantages and disadvantages to havi ng short hair. "Short hair is easy to care for, but long hair gives you more poss ibilities." The boys went for shorter hairstyles also. Johnson said most boys combed their hair forward and used gel. A countless number of guys wanted to have blond ambition, and bleached their hair a pale blond color. In general. the tudents of Tri-Center crave comfortable clothing. "If it's not comfortable, I won t wear it," Johnson said. ~ fas hi n/f~J �Tim Dalton marches in with the class of 1999 to the Tri-Center Band playing "Pomp and Circumstance." (Photo provided by Sara Dau.) By Ashley Fischer Thirteen years of education and numerous hours of activities will all come to a close in one short moment. The step from teenager to adu lt wi ll be taken arrd the seniors will enter "the real world." Before they could become graduates, each senior had to deal with the busiest year of high school they would ever know. Many spent their seni or year applying to colleges and completing scholarship applications. Others prepared to enter the workforce right away. Whatever decisions they made, it was taken in stride to prepare them for the next phase in their lives. Every senior approached these new experiences in their own way. Feelings of happiness and joy, as well as fear and anxiety were shared by many. "I was excited to graduate from high school, but also nervous of what might happen in the future," Cassie Payne said. Despite the vario us emotions , commencement ceremonies took place on Sunday, May 16. Superintendent Brett Nanninga welcomed the crowd and the seni ors. The ceremony was then hi gh)jghted by speeches given by honor seniors. The academic top fo ur included Valedictorian Ryan Jensen , Salutatorian Lacey Donovan, Chad Alexa nder and Jon Killpack. Each recalled their personal memories and tho ughts about the class of 1999. Variou s scho larships were awarded , and finally the diplomas were presented to the anxiou sly awaiting seniors. After the ceremony, the graduates were congratul ated by their families and friends. Many will always remember it as perhaps the fina l time their entire class was together.

Jen Stephens chose to tackle the monstrous task of selecting the perfect dress back in October for this reason. "I fig ured it would take me forever to find a good dress so I started looking early," Stephens said. Contrary to popular belief, girls were not the only ones to stay on top of the many pre-prom tasks. "I didn ' t know unti l about two weeks befor prom that I was going," Ju stin Nelson said. "But that still left me plenty of time to find a decent tux." In addition to the individual prepatory tasks of prom, pro m sponsors Lori Higby and Wendy Wellman di vided members of the j unior class into committees to make the preparation process go a li ttle smoother. Such com mittees included decorations, glasses, invitations, theme and song. These groups began holding meetings a month before prom and continued 1ight up unti l the night before.

When all the primping and preparing for prom was completed, it was finally time to get things rolling. After taking what seemed like a hundred pictures, everyone was ready to sit down, relax and e nj oy the meal. The salad was the first to be served, the n the meal of choice and last came the cheesecake . During the dessert, pro m gues ts were entertained by M r. Lee Killpack, the speaker of the night. After the dinner, the guests made their way to the gym where the Grand March was held. Directly fo llowing the Grand March was the dance, with the theme "M agic of the Mo me nt," ta ke n from a verse of th e so ng " Wind s o f Change" by the Scorpions. The dance was held from 9 p.m. until 12 a. m. Although prom has many similarities each year, every year has been unique. "I have been to prom all fo ur years, but each year 's a littl e differe nt," said Traci M inahan. Foll owing the dance, stude nts made their way to the middle school gy m to be checked into the post-prom party. After changing into comfortable street clothes, students were forced to wai t outside the gym doors while the junior parents made their fi ni shing touches on the gym.

Many athletes hope that playing in the off-season will add to their ath letic ability. A lot of students paiticipate in sports outside of school. Some deal with school-related sports while other sports are unassociated with school. Courtney Divelbess has taken gymnastics for nine years at the Artistic Academy in Council Bluffs. She took gymnastics three hours a day, five days a week. She has lea.med front flips and back flips and is learning to add twists to them for her floor routfoe. Di velbess said she has stuck with gymnastics because she likes the challenge. Being in gymnastics has brought her some awards. She was nominated for Iowa Gymnast of the Year. She also placed first in the all-around competitjon, whkh involves routines on bars, beam, floor and vault at six meets. Sports don't always involve just physical aspects. Gavin Skow said Tae Kwon Do involves physical and mental activites. "The more you take, the more you learn a lot of mental discipline. It helps you physically and keeps you in good shape," Skow said. Skow has taken Tae Kwon Do for 12 years. He attended practice from 7-10 p.m., four days a week at Cho Jjoke Set Ckwan in Underwood. He is a dan black belt, which is a econd degree black belt. He also became a khwaur wrang three years ago. A khwaur wrang is a step below being a master in Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do has brought Skow some awards. He has placed first in the national competition, second in internationals and he is a three time state champion. Tae Kwon Do doesn't take place at school, but other sports, like baseball, do. Swinging bats and throwing balls wasn't over in July for some members of the basebaU team. Fourteen players participated in a fall league in Omaha du1ing September and October. They scrimmaged again t teams from the Omaha and Council Bluffs area. This league wasn't divided into classes, so the team faced opponents from larger classes. Justin Tapp said he played on the teams to have more practice for the summer season. He hoped playing in the league would help hi s game improve. Some volleyball members also played in a league in the off-season. They participated in the United States of America Volleyball, USAV, in the 15 and under division and the 17 /18 and under division. Players had to go through a mini-tryout to make the teams composed of on ly Tri-Center players. They played in Bellevue, Omaha and Council Bluff almost every Sunday of January through April. They practiced for two hours on Sundays whenever they didn ' t have a game. Having a team with many younger players made it tough during their games in the 17/18 and under divi sion . Erin Obermeier said it was tough playing the older players because a lot of teams are composed of pl ayers who have already graduated and are going on to play at the next level. Many players hoped their skill s improved by playing on the USAV team . Obermeier said she hoped playing would help further her volleyball game. A lot of athletes feel participating in out-of·schoo l training will help give them the edge later on. �C!A:pLc:{'.s Love AYYOWS • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• By Aaron HaiTis Datino can be called the search for that certain person that excites and • b exhilirates life, whether it be a short puppy love or going steady with someone.

With the departure of superintendent Ed Ra tovski and middle school principal Jay Bellar, two new addition were added to the staff: high school ptincipal Angela Hu eman and middle school principal Brian Wedemeyer. Huseman used to -teach English at Ballerd High School. She says the biggest change from being a teacher is not knowing how her day is going and not having a et schedule. "I came to Tri-Center because of the good lo- ~--... cation an.d I thought it would be a good place to start my career as a principal ," said Huseman. Wedemeyer used to teach and coach at CumberlandMassena. The biggest change for him was not being able to interact with the students as much. He can1e to TriCenter because it was a positive change. "I like the challenge and responsibility," Wedemeyer said. Some of the faces were familiar, but were found in new places. Former high school p1incipal Brett Nanninga became the new uperintendent. The biggest change for Nanninga has been the paperwork, meetings and diversity of the job. "I miss being among the student body," Nanninga said.

The problem is getting it. Many juniors solved their cash flow problems by getting a job. Fifty-three percent of the students in the junior class had jobs. Many felt jobs were important for reasons other than making money. "My job helps me to be more organized, " said Eric Benning, who worked at the Edwards-O'Neil car dealership. After working hard for their money, many stl1dents spend it on things they want or need. Stacie Cross. who works at Kid·s Quest day care facility, spends her money on gas, food and other things she wants. Other students, like Heath Richards, who works with his stepdad doing lawn and yard work, saves some of his earnings. Although many juniors had jobs, some students are against it. "A job can cause stress with school activities and homework,'' Brandi Huddle said. Many students who didn ' t think jobs were important for a student, summed up their feeli ngs on the matter like Tiffany Gentleman, who said, "You' re only a kid once.'· Kristi Andersen Eric Be nning Eric Boos Amber Dau Tara Dickey Aaron Eckric h in ner\irne We\\ll\an pu\S e p..&V'J rill tJlan~n \as\ \ood a\ tn b'/ I rac'/ cool<-1n9 d (_Pnoto and r:oo . \(osrnaceK.) .

As their car speeds down the highway, they try to come up with an excuse for being late. Many sophomores began to get a curfew as they turned a ce1tain age. ''I began to get a curfew of J 1 p.m . when I turned 16,"-Dawn Andrews said. Some parents didn't give their child a curfew. "My mom and dad know I won't do anything really dumb, but I don't think we should be out so late," Jennifer Cleveng~r said. Even though she doesn't have a curfew, Clevenger still supports them. Brandon Finken also said curfews are needed. "I think we should have a curfew because it keeps us out of trouble," Finken said. "I usually don't have a curfew. It just depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing." Finken first received a curfew in junior hjgb.

"I look up to Emmit Smith because he is a good football player and has good sportsmanship," said Justin Ring. Observing the talents of Whitney Houston inspires Megan Barrier to try her hardest. "She (Houston) motivates me to do good in life," Barrier aid. While celebrities and professional athletes ru·e common role models for many students, others look up to fruni.ly members.

(Ph on ourne.; oto By By Katie Welbourne Homework, friends and family are just a few areas of stress that middle school studen ts deal with each day. Stress can be caused by almost anything. "Homework makes me feel stressed," Amber Hunt said. Other factors may also be peer pressure, running late or not being organized. Stress can be doubled throughout the years. "In elementary, I thought teachers were most stressful. Now I look at it being nothing," Tessa Wellman said. Many people feel it will get harder as they get older. "School will be most stressful," Jenni.fer. Troyer said. Even though thing s will get more difficult throughout her life, she said she will get through it because she will be more mature. Dealing with stress is different for all people. Some exercise, eat, sleep, cry, scream, get on the Internet or complain to friends or family members.

Making ANaM1 for Th1M11Iv11 •• ••• •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• By Andrea Fischer Making the transition from e le mentary to middle ~chool is a big p1iority for the sixth graders. "Sixth grade is the year we try to prepare~the students for junior high," Mr. Jarrett, one of three sixth grade teachers, said. Sixth grade students are prepared for junior high in ma ny ways . During the course of one day they change classrooms and teachers about fom times. Jarrett said the sixth graders do not run on the bell system along with the seventh and eighth graders, except during eighth period. "During eighth period the students are dismissed with the bell and go to an art, comp uter or physical education class," Jarrett said. Although sixth graders are in the same building as the o lde r students, the teachers ge nera lly try to keep them !:>eparated. Sixth graders still walk in the hallways with their teachers while the seve nth and e ighth graders have more freedom in the hall s. Seventh grade is another step up from sixth grade. Mike Kalamaja said , "I think we get more privileges than sixth graders. We are all owed to talk more during class and work in groups." Ka lamaja also be li eves seve nth graders receive more daily I omework. Thi s he lps the m prepare for high school and gets them in to a pattern of studying every night. Having eight clas periods a day helps seventh graders k'am where all of the classrooms are so they will not get lost in high sc hoo l. " We get to switch c lasses alon g with the high ~c hoo l e rs all day long. Thi s is fun because we a.re taught by . e eral teac hers," Kalamaja sa id. Tessa Wellman sa id eighth grade is a good preparation >r high school. "Ri ght now I think you could call us eighth ·raders coc ky because we are enj oyi ng being the oldest students in the midd le school, but we know we wi ll be the younge t next car as freshmen," We llman said. Eig hth g raders a nti c ip ate hi g h sc hoo l and th e ne w cx periences it wi ll bring. Wellman said, "We look forward to things like the Variety Show and the bi g hi gh school pep ra llies."

Unlimited Opportunities By Ashley Fischer College choices, job possibilities and future selections may seem overwhelming to many students. Dec isions made whi le still in hjgh school will affect the rest of a student 's li fe. It is important to explore all available options to be able to make an informed decision when th e time comes. "Students need to start preparing for the future at a yo ung age. That way, by the time they become seniors, they feel confident enough to make those big decision s," Mrs. Harman sa id. Several meas ures can be taken to prepare for what li es ahead. "I instruct my students to enhance their success by using the STAR format." That is S-situation, T-task, A-action , and Rresult. "This can benefit them in making their dec isions," Mrs. Prewitt said. There are many sk ill s a stude nt mu st hav e to be successfu l in the modern world. "Organi zati o n, com munication and academic sk ills are among the most important a hjgh school student can acquire," Harm an sai d . A student can ensure they are prepared fo r the future by taking adva ntage of the know ledge they are rece ivin g . "A lways be aware of your academic record and your level of study skills. They wi ll help yo u later in life," Harman sa id. Preparing for the fut ure is a demandin g process nl) one can do alone. Peop le are willing to help if o ne is wi ll in g to acknowledge it.

' I Challenge Time By Kati e Welbourne To most students, a challenge is something that is hard to accomplish or overcome. "A challenge is something that makes a person stronger," Justin Tapp said. To other people, it's j ust a part of life. Classes such as P.E., biology, chemi stry and math are d ifficult for many students. "A challenge is good because a person can get things d ne," Zach Bowen said. Bowen said without obstacles, people wouldn' t be able to make or reach their goals. To many, expectations can al so be harmful. "Some haJ lenges I have cause stress," Eli zabeth Witt said. Witt said this only happens when the challenges are harder to overcome than expected. "Science is most difficult for me," Joe Brunow said. Brunow said thi s class was most difficult because there is a lot of information covered and students are expected to know it. Even though most studnts think of P.E. as a kick back, easy "A" class, there are so me hurdles th at a perso n must overcome in over to receive that "A". Archery was one unit considered difficult for some students. "Archery was difficult because the target was so small and the bow weren' t always working right," Josh Kohl said. Kohl said if th bows were worki ng well all the time he would have b en more precise. Eddie Leaders tries to put his bow together as Joey Kosmacek watches.

For some, stress is caused by an overload of homework or by numerous sources. "Trying to juggle jazz band , speech, work and homework stresses me out," Tara Di ckey sa id. Others fi nd tests to be burdensome. "Semester tes ts always seem to stress me out," Brandon Finken said. Some students are thrilled when long-term assignments are assigned, but Joe Pettit said these assignments stress him out because he puts them off until the last minute. There are many di ffe rent ways students dea l with their stress. Jen Stephens said she takes deep breaths and thin ks about . good things. However, others take a differe nt ro ute. Kay I ' Dollen deals with stress by eating a lot, sleeping a lot and whining a lot. Still others find another alternati ve by pl ayin g ports m Nintendo.

Teamwork To Learn By Katie Morse S tudents may or may not benefit fro m learning in groups, but some teac hers be lieve it is a good way to teach students and have them learn fro m peers. Biology and sc ience students work together in lab groups. r. Ki llpack said thi s all ows students to work, pl an and analyze problems together. "Learning together may make it easier fo r some students because they hear di ffe rent ideas and ways of doing things," Killpack said. Tea mwo rk is a word so me used to describe learnin g together. Mrs. Prew itt said there are careers out there that use teamwork, so working in groups also benefi ts students for later on i11 life. Prew itt also agrees th at it may make it eas ier fo r students, and also adds that it makes it eas ier fo r teachers. "The students see what others are doing right and wrong and learn from it, and I have an easier time teaching because when it comes to food and sewing, there isn' t much time," Prewitt said. Students fi nd that leamj ng this way is helpful to them fo r various reasons. College Biology students like Christine Matter also said learning together helps her if she doesn' t know something. "If I don' t know somethi ng, usually the other person jn my lab does and can help me out," Matter said. Some students attend classes where they usually work in groups of two or three, Like Parenting class. They visit the ki ndergarten and observe them as a part of cla s. Sometimes problems may result fro m group learning. "Better students will som times do all the work and others are prone to let the good students do everything," Killpack said .

Whether it's working with a sew ing machine, gathering around a Bunsen burner or maki ng a birdhouse out of wood, many teachers find hands-on learning to be one of the more effi cient methods of teaching. "I find science labs give students another dimension to learn fro m," said Mr. Killpa'ck. "I beli eve it is an improvement from tradi ti o nal text book learning." Killpack is known fo r his many ex periments du ring class. Such experiments have been testing solu tions to see if they are acidi c or basic, calculati ng the momentum and speed of di ffere ntly-sized toy cars and the favorite of many, dissecting. In addition to the belief of many teachers that hands-on learning is a good addition to regular text book learning, many students share thi s opinion as well . Peggy Bruck finds art projects useful to help her visuali ze what he is learning. "T he hands-on activities we do in art help me shape things better," she sai d. E ri c Sun tke n also fin ds hands-o n learning to be a beneficial method of teaching. "It really helps you interact with the subject to improve your under tand ing of it," he said.

"We knew we could play with any of the other conference teams, but we also knew we would have to work around young, inexperienced pitching in the beginning," first-year head coach Jim Dermody said. The team proved from the first game they would be able to hit the baJI hard and score. Brandon Finken said, "Our bi g strength was our hitting power. Everyone in our lineup was hitting fo r average." Inexperienced pitching was not a hard obstacle for the team to overco me . As the seaso n progressed, the pitching became stronger and several players stepped up their performance. Aaron Eckrich , Aaron Petersen, Finken, Jesse Baldwin and Rusty Smith all gain ed time on the mound . Many ga me s were mem ora bl e to the playe rs L "I will never forget the conference championship we played in Mi ssouri Vall ey. Beating Missouri Vall ey on thei r own field 10-4 was excitin g because no one had beat them in \'eraJ years," Finken said . Dermody credited much of the success of the team to senior leadership. "We had Ryan Ausdemore, Jay McDonald, Matt Preuss, Glen Cook, Brad Guill and Chri s Hester as seniors who were an honor to coach. These six guys kept the you nger players focused and driven," Dermody sai d. "The seni ors pushed us because they wanted to be the best, but they wanted us to do our best too," Bryan Lefeber said. Thi s foc us took the team to the di strict champi onshi p where they were beaten by an eventual state qualifi er, St. Albert, in nine innings. Lefe ber . sa id , "The loss to St. Albert wa heartbreaking , but a good way to end an exc iting sea on ." • ---------------------------------------Aaron Eckrich winds up to hurl another strike over the plate.

One was to start junior varsity in the bac krow position. Hansen said serving and going up strong to block a spike was her weakness in the ' 97 season, so she worked on it thi s season. Hansen said her serving improved greatl y but she didn ' t serve much in a game. "I also improved in getting myself to the ball quicker and setting myself up fo r a block," Hansen said. Serving has been a strength fo r the varsity team this year. "We had seven players on the varsity team serve 90% of their serves over the net," Kevin Matulka said.

(Photo by Tracy Kosmacek.) r ---------------------------------------~ By Tracy Kosmacek H ard work, long hours and dedication are all vital ualities a Trojan wrestler must display to compete throughout the year. Every wrestler had a set of goals that they worked to achieve. Some goals were high and others were basic. It was all based on what each wrestler believed they could reach. Justin Gunderson's goals were to have a winning record and to get ten or more pins. He also wanted to win districts and have a good showing at the state meet. "I wanted to wrestle as hard as I could to obtain my goals and to make the team look better because of my efforts," Gunderson said. Wrestling is known to be an individual sport, but the team aspect is also important. "Numbers were a huge benefit for the team being a success," Eric Suntken said. Twenty-two wrestlers were part of the team this year. Two wrestlers were one step from advancing to the state meet at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines . Heath Richards finished second place at sectionals and wrestled in districts, finishing with third place. Justin Ring placed third at sectionals, but because of a wrestler getting sick he was able to be bumped up. Coach Rhett Barrett was pleased with the overall wrestling by his team. Barrett said, "I was glad to see the hard work the guys put in to compete at their best." The wrestling team finished dual meets at an even mark. Then the wrestlers began to work hard for next year. Eric Boos said, "I wasn ' t too happy with my performances, so I'm going to work hard so I can go to State next year."

(Photo by Amanda Wilson.) r ---------------------------------------~ By Amanda Wilson Change is a common and everyday occurrence. The girls' basketball team had to face many changes over the course of the season, and they met these challenges head-on. - Once again, the girls experienced new coaches. Head Coach John Daley and Assistant Coach Dan Elliott took their places by the team. "Daley's coaching style was different than we 've ever had," Kaylee Dollen said. Daley agrees with Dollen. He said it took a long time fo r the girls to get adjusted, but they became more familiar with hi s style over time. One main improvement the gi rls had was dribbling, Dollen said. They spent a lot of time practicing this and other basic skill s. The girls' record was 3-16. "We didn ' t win too much, but we learned a lot and improved as we went," Shari Greiner said. Even with the change of coaches, Dollen said the team became close over the course of the season. Before each of the home games, the girls would eat dinner at one of the player's houses. New uniforms were also a welcomed change for the basketball team. The Athletic Booster Club bought the girls new home uniforms, so the old ones went to the junior varsity team. As the girls adapted to the change in coaches, players and uniforms, Daley believed they took the knowledge attained during the season, and improved their play. He also believed the girls could achieve great things if they played to the potential they now have. ~ ---------------------------------------~ JUN/OR VARS Laura Bah /Ty F=ront· J Darin rke, Mand . ennifer Ct Elliott g:~ and Alyssa B~beDarrington eAvenger, M , ennaW; ih .Bak· , mber Fi:c~andsborou;h ~Cassie ln~o~:;oach Dan ' ara We11 o, Lauren Manager, Katie Gaudfa man A Stud · er Kelly Shr n, Shari G '.

The purchase of new uniforms started the Jam Connection eason off well. A new look and feel was needed. "The new uniforms feel more comfortable than the other ones, and they are cute," Jodi Schuning said. Money for these new uniforms came from a dance camp for elementary students on Dec. 12 and the Athletic Booster Club. Jam Connection members put in a lot of hard work for their performances. They practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8 a.m. These practices got them ready for performances during halftime of the boys' basketball games and State Drill Team Contest held in Des Moines. Dancing in Des Moines was the most memorable and fun time of the year for most of the drill team members, and it shone through during the performance. The team received a Division I rating while in Des Moines, bettering past outcomes. In addition to State Marching B and at Lewis Central, competitions at Clarinda and Glenwood filled up the Satin Knights' chedule. They not only practiced in the mornings, but also during first hour. "We worked hard and seemed to care more about how we did," Kristi Andersen said. The biggest accomplishment, Andersen said, was getting first place in both the parade and field performance at Clarinda. This was a big achievement for the Satin Knights for many reasons. "The routine was harder and more upbeat, there were more people to train which made the competitions more challenging," Rhonda Christiansen said. Students who were involved in either of these organizations knew that through hard work and dedication they could achieve any of their goals. Christiansen said, "If you're good at it and know your routines, you feel a sense of pride." Laura Zellmer, Amanda Gau and Sarah Ring perform to the song "Tribal Dance." (Photo by Amanda Wilson.)

They competed in four competitions throughout the year and prac ti ced a mandatory two to five times a week. They practiced through lessons before school, after school and during much of their free time in school. After all of the hard work, they had to give everything they had to put on productions, such as the a nnu a l Va riety Show, Dinner Theatre and numerou s compe titi o ns.

The club hopes to help seventh lhrough l 2'h graders learn and assume their roles in the community. FHA was once a fe male dominated club, but when it merged wi th ASTR A and FLA many males joined.

J. ;L10) M ini M ag �By Sara Dau Expression of personality can be done in various ways. Many students express the mselves through clothing, hairstyles, tattoo orbody piercing. Christal King describes herself as outgoing. King said, "I dare to be different." King has a tattoo and a nose ring. She got her tattoo at American Tattoo and pierced her own nose. She regrets piercing her nose becau e, "I didn't think people would judge me the way they did . They looked at me like I was a freak. With the tattoo , no one can see it but it i there forever." Many students also wear backpacks that are as decorated as a bedroom could be. Some also spend a great deal of time personali zing their locker with pictures of friends, fa mily and magazine clippings. Sarah Fischer wea rs he r unique backpack to all of her da:-.ses . Stacie Cross also chooses to stand out Stacie Cross 's personality shines through in many aspects of her life. Her locker is just one example. (Photo by Sara Dau.) "If everyone were the sam-e it would be very boring. There would be no diversity." -Lori Piper and make herself known. Cross said, "Individuality is important because it makes a person who they are. Not only on the outside but on the inside too. It (individuality) is what makes a perosn unique. If we all had the sames personalities, the world would be boring." Self-confidence is needed to stand out among peers. Cross said, "I feel like more of a leader than a follower. I have the confidence to act, look and dress how I want to. Like most things though , individualty is a hard thing to have. To stand up for what you believe in alone is hard, especially when there are so m a ny people with different thoughts and judgements around you. But when your individuality is finally accepted, it feel s as though the whole world has accepted you with open arms, just for who you are." �Tl.e Neola Tire C<Hrlpa ny gives tl.e ir ex p e rtise and services lo Neola a n d surrounding communities a nd als o s ponsors tl•e Trojan yearl.ook.

In what was later called one of the ugliest games ever played in women's college basketball, Purdue preva iled over Duke, 62-45, to win its first-ever NCAA championship. Turn overs, fou ls and mi ssed layups by both teams resulted in a dismal 4-4 tie nea rly half way through the first half. A slightly better second half for the top-ranked Boilermakers allowed them to gain momentum a nd eventually ea rn the national title. It was the lowest-scoring women's title ga me in NCAA hi story. Susan Rogan/ AP Suppl;od by AP/ITAR·TASS �Balloonists Bertrand Piccard of Switzerland and Brion Jones of Britain made history in Ma rch when they completed a record-setting 20day dash around the world. Circling the globe non-stop in the Breitling Orbiter 3, a mag ni fi cent 180-foot-high hot-air balloon, the two adventurers succeeded where others had "failed. Just months before, American Steve Fossett attempted a similar journey, but fell short when he had to make an emergency landing . The duo's race around the world encompassed 28,000 mil es from the Swiss Alps to Egypt. Four New Yark City police officers pleaded not guilty in March to charges of second degree murder stemmi ng from the February shooting death of street vendor , Amadou Diallo. Kenneth Boss, Sea n Carroll, Edward McMellon and Richard Murphy allegedly shot Diollo 19 times in th e vesti bule of hi s apartment build ing . The officers fired a total of 4 1 shots al Diallo, who wa s unarmed at the time. The shooting ucheJ off 15 days of protests outside police headquarters, resulting in more than 1,000 arrests . Protesters de nounced Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Poli ce Commissioner Howard Safir for their perce ived indifference to the shooting . �Baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, 84, died in March after spending several months in the hospital recovering from a lung operation. Nicknamed "Jaltin' Jae" and "The Yankee Clipper," the Hall of Fame center fielder's 56-game hitting streak in 1941 remains as one of the mast revered records in all of sports. A brief marriage to Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s also contributed to DiMaggio's legend. Roy Rogers, the singing "King of Cowboys" in movies and on television, died in July of heart failure. Co-starri ng alongside his wife and partner, Dale Evans, and with his fa ithful horse, Trigger, Rogers became an American icon with his straight-shooting ~xploits in Hollywood westerns. Olympic gold medalist and world-class sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, 38, died in September of a brain seizure. Joyner, who won three gold medals in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, holds world records for the 100- and 200-meter sprints with times of 10.49 and 21.34. Her superhuman speed was overshadowed at times by suspicions of steroid use. Emmy award-winning puppeteer Shari Lewis, 65, died of uterine cancer in August. Lewis earned 12 Emmys for her PBS television specials, featuring the spirited, squeaky-voiced sock puppet, Lamb Chop, and furry sidekicks, Charlie Horse and Hu sh Puppy. Film critic Gene Siske!, 53, who along with Roger Ebert set the "thumbs-up, thumbs-down" standard in the movie industry, died in February after having surgery to remove a brain tumor. Besides hi s popular collaboration with Ebert, Siskel wrote movie reviews for the Chicago Tribune and also did reviews for "CBS This Morning" and WBBM-TV in Chicago.

Above, many new and used vehicles at Bluffs Toyota, 3554 South Expressway, were inundated when the parking lot flooded. Below, a retaining w all next to new apartments along Franklin Avenue tumbled to the ground. Ph.oto by Darklne Rowe • ., 2 Friday, September 10, 1999 The Flooa of '99 The Daily Nonpareil Photos tell story of record rain It rained intermittently all day on Friday, Aug. 6. By early Saturday morn- ing, the rainfall turned into a deluge and obliterated a record that had stood for nearly a century in southwest Iowa. The storm tha t hit Council Bluffs and the surrounding area was an historic and memorable one. In a span of less than 24 hours, it dumped an official measurement of 10.48 inch- es of rain on the area, break- ing the record set in 1903. Area residents awoke to find a mess left in Mother Nature's path. Streets and intersections were flooded, retaining walls were washed away, bridges were damaged, cars were seen floating down city streets, basement walls collapsed, parks were under water, sewers backed up and, in some instances, peo- ple were forced from their homes. Many residents saw a lifetime of memories washed away by the flooding. But such storms can also bring out the best in people. By mid-morning Satur- . day, residents were helping their neighbors clean up after the storm. Cleanup efforts for some were com- pleted in a few days. Others are still strug- gling as they try to return their families' lives and living quarters to pre-flood status. "I've never seen it this bad," said Council Bluffs Mayor Thomas Hanafan shortly after the rains ended. • He had taken office just months before a series of tornadoes devastated the west side of the city in 1988. Extra firefighters and police officers answered the call to help deal with the emergency situation. Red Cross and Salvation Army personnel and volunteers immediately mobilized. A disaster declaration brought federal and state officials into the area to help assess damage and offer assistance. As the mayor noted, there is no way to adequate- ly prepare for this type of situation. Area residents will long remember and want their children to remember the record-breaking storm. Thanks to the pho- tographs ·submitted by Nonpareil readers, this spe- cial section will help capture and preserve those special events. Those who submitted flood photos may pick them up at The Daily Nonpareil office, 117 Pearl St., beginning Monday. Photos cannot be mailed back. Photo by Duane E.

(Photo by Ryan Milner) Football The 1998 season started one week after the 1997 season ended, and it all started in the weightroom. In 1997, although we made it to the playoffs, we lost to Missouri Vall ey for the second time that year and we knew the reason why. We just weren' t strong enough. All of the players who didn ' t play a winter sport were put on a weight program by Coach Culj at, and that program made all the difference in 1998. We not onl y had an undeafeated season, but we also beat Missouri Valley twice and made it to the state quarterfinals. Thanks to the hard work that the offensive linemen put into the we ightroom, and Blanchard Johnson's own determinati on, we set two school records. Johnson rushed for 1,936 yards to put him in front of Vince Leber. Also, as a team, we averaged over 300 yards rushing per game, to put us No. I all time.

Looking back on that game, I'm still upset. We played our hearts out, but it still wasn' t good enough. I remember looking at Kim Burns when there was a 84 minute left. Her face was sad and her eyes were teary, and I told her, " Kim, th is game isn' t over. We can still do this." It wasn' t until there was I 0 seconds le ft that I looked over at my mother with a worri ed face and reali zed that my goal and my dream were over. The toughest thi ng I had to reali ze is that I won ' t be back for next year. Thanks, guys, for the priceless memori es. r wi ll never fo rget you.

It was one that saw new guys turn out just because they li ked what the team was doing and wanted to be a part of it. A season that ended with a win ning record fo r the first ti me in a very, very long time. It was one that included the first conference championship in school history. More important than all of that, it was the season that Falcon wrestling regained its res pect. This was the season that teams stopped thin ki ng of our team as an easy win on the ir schedule. We came a long way this season, and we worked hard along the way. With the hard work ethi c our team possessed, we are assured more success in the years to come. I rea ll y ex pect that after this breakout year that our wrestling team will reall y spread its wings and soar.

(Photo by Marc Freeman) Boys Soccer The boys soccer team had a pretty rough season. We started out with two losses and really low confidence. It was really hard going from No. 1 in the state to not even being in the top 25. We lost a lot of talent in the six seni ors from last year, but we had a lot of people take a step up. Freshman Brent Lorkovic stepped in to the spot that was left vacant by Kevi n Lancial, while freshman Jason Endeli cato stepped in to fi ll Kyle Lancial's old spot. Junior Jake Flom took a large ro le in the midfie ld. We pl ayed some strong games as well as some weak ones, maki ng our way back to the state tournament before losing to Waukee in the quarterfinals. We were reall y young, but we did our best in our bid to repeat as state champions.

The expectations were so high, but we had lost seven seniors. Then even before our first game, several players were injured. Our first two wins were much less than impressive. Then our 9-2 loss to Duchesne turned my fear into reality. I didn ' t want to see my favori te sport turn into a season of losses. After another loss, I started wishjng fo r those seniors back. A couple of weeks later, we played Glenwood. A whole new team walked onto the fi eld that day. O ur domi nance continued to the LC game. That 4-0 victory ceased all my doubts. I couldn 't wait to play each game. More importantly, 1 coul dn ' t ask fo r any better teammates than the ones l had. Yeah, I know, we Jost seven seniors, and they REALLY missed out.

(Photo by Kelly Duff eek) Softball During the summer of 1998, about 25 girls grades 8- 12 went out for the softball team. Of those 25, only three were seniors and two were juniors, which set the tempo for the season. To many spectators, the winless season was a disappointment; but to the players, it was something else. Since there was no pleasure of 100 winning, we made a great time of it. Sliding is an essential part of softba ll. Many girls on the team had a problem with this aspect of the game. So one day, Coach Kelly Duffeck brought a "Slip and Slide" to practi ce, and she reviewed the finer points of sliding. We got to spend a hot summer day learning how to slide in water.

Baseball 1998 was truly an exc iting year for the St. Albert baseball team, which earned just its sixth state tournament appearance. The Falcons, however, were a little disappointed with their first-round loss to Jesup, 3-2 in an actionpacked, nine-inning state tournament game. 104 You would th ink that nothi ng could possibly top a state appearance, but the Falcons di d by demolishing the baseball with their bats. The Falcons hammered opposing pitchers by blasting 44 home runs in j ust 33 games. Leading the way was 1998 graduate Jake Driver, who smashed nine home runs. The one that sti cks out the most was the two-run bomb he un leashed in the district game aga in st Tri-Center, whi ch proved to be the winni ng runs in the game.

Yellow ~ cket School olors; 0 w1ge & White We make looking good easy By Michaela Kanger Okay, so the community may not see students of Thomas Jefferson as perfect, but they definitely left their mark. From the cross country athlete that ran throughout the community to the ASTRA memberthat did service projects at various organizations and the student that simply served the people of the community at their job, students' ties ran deep through Council Bluffs. A lot of work and effort was put into everything done, many didn't see all the work that went on behind the scenes. Only the folks in the Tee Jay community saw all the time and effort put in. The rest of the world only saw the final project and not the sweat and tears that went into producing it. They didn't see the AcDec meetings where students spent many hours to prepare for competition, the late nights that the newspaper staff spent preparing for a deadline or the hours of practice that the athletes spent off the court, field or track to get ready for the big game. The band, choir and drama department practiced hours to prepare for a show. How about the student that stayed up all night studying for an English final or searched the net for crucial information for a project? No, others didn't see all that. In the end, they ended up looking pretty good ... and as far as the rest of the world was concerned, "We make looking good easy". Opening Seniors Adam Ashley, Ryan Redding, Nick LeGuillou and Luke Jefferson show off their school spirit at a home football game.

Open ing A look into the lives By Michaela Kanger Looking back at the year, one may find that not only were memories captured in the classroom, but also throughout all the other aspects of their lives. The summer passed and students and faculty returned to the hallways of the school. Summer days spent working, playing or just hanging out were replace by classes, homework and school activities. Homecoming week brought out students' school spirit and support. Then the rain forced the Carnival inside and the game had to be stopped and delayed because of a cloudburst and the threat of lightning. The dances gave the students something to look forward to. Harveys hosted Prom for the second year in a row and provided an elaborate setting for the event. Post Prom at Thunderbowl had a new twist as students got the chance to swing into action during a swing dance contest. Students found many places to hang out on the weekends. Bowling and dancing were a few favorite hangouts. Celebrations at school made birthdays and holidays more interesting. From decorations, treats and costumes, students celebrated all kinds of holidays at school. Trends, technology and music were things that many students experienced and will look back on for years. These things all shaped personalities and lives. Jobs, dates and celebrations ... all gave us a look into the lives of students.

P HOTO ~ COURTESY OF J AMIE P ERKINS Memories of Camp Chaos Students survive school related camps By Ricky Prosolow & Lynsi Brooks For many students, camp was a way to expand on what they'd already learned. For others it was a new experience and for others still, it was nightmare. Seniors Michaela Kanger and Jamie Barth attended a journalism camp at University of Nebraska at Lincoln. "When we got to our room in the dorm, the light was turned off. When it was finally fixed, it still glowed green after you turned it off," Kanger said. "I think that the flat tire was the worst part of journalism camp," Barth said. Seniors Justin Kammrad, Mark Showers, Adam Neville and junior Jonathan Taylor attended a football camp at UNL I ,,,. Camps I with 400 other competitors. Kammrad commented, "The camp wasn't outside; it was inside on artificial turf. I came home with a horrible turf burn on my arm." The cheerleaders attended a camp at Okoboji. On Saturday, June 26, a tornado warning was issued for areas surrounding the camp. Sophomore Wendy Ludwick said 'There was a huge wall cloud right above our rooms. I was really scared." Even though they faced strong opposition, the students ended up learning and enjoying the camps through all of the chaos.

Seniors Justin Kammrad and Matt DeWolf along with junior Ben Mawhiney sit on the sideline and watch the game against Sioux City Heelan. Kammrad was pulled from the game with a hamstring cramp, De Wolf was too ill to play and Mawhiney was injured in a play during the third quarter. During the Roncalli game Shawn Carmichael knew that his season was over when he broke his knee cap dur· inga play. "It made me feel better that Injuries we won the game.

Sometimes the accidents were more brutal than others. Blue Thunder, an 88 Thunderbird driven by junior Paul Stawowczyk, got into a nasty accident in Scribner, Ne. "My car was totaled, but I was glad I was alive," Stawowczyk said. P. E. teacher Lavonne Pierson and chemistry teacher Shannon C'deBaca were in a larger collision on their way back from Maine. "We were on 1-80 when a semi lost control and hit us. It sent us about half of a mile going 60 m.p.h. up0 side down. Either we were going to hit someone or someone was going to hit us ," Ms . C'deBaca said. "I looked to the side, saw a semi wheel , then felt friction and saw sparks," Ms. Pierson said. Junior Chad Boyer went scuba diving with his car in Big Lake after hitting some loose gravel. "The windows in my car were electric, so I had to break them in order to get out," Boyer said. Whether intentionally speeding down the race strip or a coming home from a long road trip, there were always risks in driving on the open or closed road.

Umbrellas were turned inside out and crowds huddled togetherfor shelter. It may sound like a scene from "Twister", but these were the conditions for the crowning of Homecoming Queen. Homecoming activities kicked of on Oct. 12 with Spirit Week. Along with Spirit Week; activities included a carnival, footbal l game, dance and more. Many activities were organized by the Student Council. "The turnout for activities was very high," sophomore Student Council member Candace Cox said. While the clouds started forming outside, students gathered in the New Fieldhouse for the pep assembly. Sophomore Aaron Andersen was one of the top karate experts in the nation for his age group and entertained the crowd with his karate abilities. The weather forced the carnival inside both field houses. "My favorite game was Twister. I lost to Holly Womochil though," junior Sarah Colter said. Even though the weather changed some of the planned events, it proved to make Homecoming an interesting experience. fr~ Homecoming / PHOTO BY MICHAELA KANGER Senior Ryan Redding and his band,"NightTrain," were one of many bands who performed at the Homecoming Carnival.

There were other techniques that were useful, but maybe not as energetic. Freshman Stephanie Demare said, "I drink a can of Mountain Dew to get me going in the morning!" Caffeine was a big part of pick-me-ups. Everyday ads were on the television for different herbal substances or caffeine pills, such as No Doz, to keep students awake.

Entertainment A different look By Laura Herrick Looking into the lives of many students included much more than sports, work and a social life. A different look would show that many students were also involved in different school organizations. National Honor Society delivered home made cookies to local shelters and helped to sponsor two blood drives. Student Council helped to bring life to a new marquee to place in front of the school and also collected food for the local food banks. ASTRA helped to bring school cheer around the holidays as they sold various holiday-grams. These grams were similar to telegrams with something special attached, such as a flower or some candy. Brain Bowl and Academic Decathlon both sported their smarts as they competed for top positions at competitions. Academic Decathlon took home first place overall at Regionals and placed fifth at State. Brain Bowl also had a good year with one of their best records in years. Journalism became more updated with a new digital camera and also put the newspaper onto the Internet. These advancements were made to make the publications easier to produce and more widely available. There are times where a first glance is entirely appropriate, but then there are also those times where it requires a different look to discover what really mattered in the lives of the students.

These were held at Elkhorn, Bellevue College, Peru State and Shenandoah. "The best part about the Peru competition was when we found the perfect man for Jessi.

The goal of the team was to come up with a project that would help the community in some way. The group chose to make a museum according to Raim. Senior Larissa Christensen said, "You learn a lot of things you don't normally think about that involve building and planning. It was a lot of fun." "You discuss real projects with a real engineer. You have to prepare a booklet and a model to compete against other schools. This was a model situation," Mr. Hudek said. The group was able to work with a local architect.

Smells of freshly baked bread and pastries filled the streets of London, Paris, Switzerland and Italy. While in Europe the group saw Venice, Rome, Florence , England. This was the experience of the 13 students and five adults on their European vacation. The trip wasn't all fun and good times. There were also the usual hardships. "I took about $500 with me and left with nothing," senior Misty Richards said. The incident happened after the group had been shopping. While they were seated on some stairs at a church, Richards turned her back. When she turned back around, her purse was gone, including her spending money and passport. Richards and French teacher LaRue Gilman-Martinez spent almost half of the day at the United States Embassy in Rome. Richards was finally granted a temporary passport to return home . Spanish Club also tested other cultures throughout the year. "We made white chocolate skulls and wrote our names on them to symbolize eating our own mortality, which was a little morbid," junior Laurie Park said. The club also ate lunch at Tina's, an authentic Mexican restaurant. "We have food at every meeting. It is by far my favorite part of Spanish Club," junior Tammie Miller said. No matter where they went or what they did, foreign language students showed that they truly were in a world of their own. While in Switzerland, seniors Misty Richards and Bobby Gittens had an opportunity to ride the cable cars to the tops of the Alps. Even though they had to stand in line they were happy.

Added to being at all the games, the cheerleaders put in a lot of effort and work throughout the year, that others did not see. Cheerleaders easily spend up to $800 per year. junior Nikki Kuhl said, "This is my third year in cheerleading and I've probably spent over $1 ,500 already. I've paid for it all myself, too." During the summer the cheerleaders practiced everyday from 7-9 A.M. working to better their camp routine. Camp was in Okoboji from June 25-28. While at camp they performed their routines to a crowd and had the option to earn a bid for nationals. The varsity squad was successful and got the bid but chose not to go P HOTO BY M ICHAELA !<ANGER because of high costs. At camp 14 girls were nominated for All-American. Of the 14, senior Sara Williams was the only one that made it. "I was really nervous, but when I found out that I made it I was really excited," Williams said. Williams went to Hawaii at the end of January and performed during the Hula Bowl. For the first time the squads competed at the Nebraska State Cheer and Porn Championships. The freshmen and junior varsity squads placed third in their divisions. "It took a lot of hard work to get the third place. I got so stressed out when we prepared for competitions," sophomore Wendy Ludwick said. Through all the stress and hard wo k. the cheerleaders tried to boost the spirit of the fans. FuNFAcTs Cheerleading expenses costs around $800. This included uniforms, shoes, pom pons, camp fees including breakfast lunch and dinner. There were s total of 33 cheerleaders on the three squads.

Nine of the 11 dancing members of the porn pon squad were new. Junior Lyndsey Neil said, "It was different having a new team because we had to help them learn what we already knew." Although Neill said it took a lot of extra work, the new members appreciated it and it truly did help the squad improve. Junior Dawn Radice said, "It was really fun being new because I wasn't the only one." Having a new team may have been a big change, but the squad also faced having, new uniforms, new team sponsors, and also having their camp at home. The sponsors were Ann Clinton and Wendy Koontz. Senior Misty Richards said, "Ms. Koontz was really fun and she always had a good attitude towards others." Some changes proved to be enjoyable, especially camp. "Having a home camp was nice because I never got homesick," Radice said. The team participated in many activities at camp such as jumping on the rebound net, winning a Susie Sparkle Dol l and receiving ribbons for drill downs and for their dances. Senior Mindi Richardson was the team captain. "At first I didn't like being captain, but I got used to it, and it ended up being really fun ," Richardson said. Even though the squad was new and there were many changes, the porn me rs came through with flying colors. These girls proved that some changes truly can prove to be helpful.

PomPon 4'9 A look at the spotlight - By Laura Herrick To really understand some of the students, one must look at the heart of their lives and the heart of many lives was focused on the spotlight. This was true of all of the fine arts groups as they each shined in their own way. Choir students had a great year performing at different concerts, competitions and festivals. Junior Brandon Hunt received an incredible honor when he was chosen by the American Choral Directors Association to perform at a concert in Chicago, IL. Hunt was one of only three chosen from the state of Iowa. The show choirs helped to bring joy during the holidays as they toured around various metro businesses and entertained people with their voices and their moves. The Drama Department also entertained many with their rendition of Frankenstein for the fall play. The new special effects were especially popular. Sophomore Corey Gray also entertained when he was given the chance to attend All-State for drama. Band also had some starring moments. Marching band took home first place at State and also received a number one rating at the Loess Hill Field Festival in October. The Jazz Band also took home ninth place at State. When one looked into the hearts of the students, they were sure to find that the student truly did enjoy the fine arts. Even more, the students enjoyed taking a look at the spotlight. I -({og,.,..

One reason was because, "We were always ourselves without worrying what others thought of us," senior Lindsay Jastorff said. The only thing that students needed to be inducted was accumulating 1 O points. "We got points by being in plays, seeing plays in the community and working backstage," Jastorff said. Once 1 O points were earned, there were inductions. The day of inductions, inductees wore signs and were required to do whatever was a_sked of them by Thespians. Throughout induction day, the Thespians were able to put the inductees through just about anything. Sophomore inductee Amanda Kruger said, "The thing that I remember the most was when they made me lie on the floor in the mall and sizzle like bacon. They also made me wear a flapper's dress and dancing gloves. I also had curlers in my hair." "I am going to miss being with all of my friends and having the privilege of being in this wonderful group," Jastorff said. "Thespians are a home away from home. No matter what, there will always be a family and friends in Thespians," Kruger said.

Junior Luke Samstad burned his hand trying t put out the fire during one of the shows. Even with the dangers, the audience enjoyed th special effects. "The pyrotechnics of the play were th best part for the audience," junior Lindsay O'Dell said Sophomore Corey Gray (Peter Schmidt) said, "Tht hardest part of the play was when I had to be dead wit my eyes open." Many students were able to participate in the pla yet not be on stage. .

They saw productions such as "Sheer Madness," "The Glass Menagerie" and "Ragtime". The group stayed at the Congress Hotel for five days and four nights. The trip cost just over $600, plus spending money. Senior Anna Mareike Kuhlmeier, a German foreign exchange student, was one of the 22 to go qn the trip. She said, "We went out to eat everyday. We went to shows a lot, too. We went to the · Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood. All of the people we came in contact with were really friendly." Aside from going to the Bahai temple and the shore of Lake Michigan, the group also went to Shedd Aquarium, Northwestern University and Michigan Avenue. "The flight there was scary for me because I'm afraid of flying. It felt good to sing a Christmas carol to the crew on the airplane, though," Kuhlmeier said. 'My favorite part was an improvisation musical where the audience picked a show and they perfvmed it," junior Darrell Adams said. Senior Jeff Smay said, "I don't think I could pick just one thing about the trip as my favorite."

The flight crew was serenaded by the students, who sang "Silent Night". The flight took about an hour. Before boarding all of the students were checked for identification. Three of the students who attended were seniors Michelle Medearis, Sandy Sparr and Janie Aldredge. The first day of the trip was spent exploring the Lake Michigan shore. For some, Lake Michigan was the largest body of water ever seen. After they had finished admiring the lake, the students visited a nearby aquarium. While there, the students viewed many different fish, learned some interesting facts and made the ever popular "fish face". On Thursday, the students could be found exploring places such as: Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe and F.A.O. Schwartz. F.A.O. was a special highlight for some. This store was the store that the toy scenes from the movie "Big" were filmed in. The accomodations at the hotel were great. Seniors Sandy Sparr, Janie Aldredge and Jamie Aldredge take a moment to relax and spend some quality time in their room. The students were split up three to four in a room.

PHOTO COURTESY OF RICKY THOMPSON PHOTO COURTESY OF RICKY THOMPSON Star for a Day Thompson stars with Cosby By Matt De Wolf & Abby Veydt Many people dream of their chance to be a big star. Sophomore Ricky Thompson had the chance to experience being in the spot light. Thompson traveled to New York City on April 8 to be taped for a national television commercial with actor/comedian Bill Cosby. Thompson was given this opportunity because of his involvement in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America program. Thompson was on a two day all-expense paid trip to New York City. While there, he stayed at the Stan Hope Hotel and toured the city. "I liked the hotel we stayed in. It was expensive and very elegant. I was pretty excited about the whole experience:' Thompson said. Thompson's Big Brother was Mike Gallagher, an IRS worker from Omaha. Gallagher also had four other 'Little Brothers' not including Thompson. Gallagher was nominated for the Big Brother of the Year Award and the T. V. commercial was a way to reward Gallagher for his work and involvement. "The best part of being in New York City was meeting Bill Cosby. It was fun joking around and meeting someone of that caliber," Thompson said. In the past, Thompson has also been able to attend dinners with football stars Lynn Swann and Tommy Frazier. "I went to a dinner with Lynn Swann and one with Tommy Frazier. Mike, his wife, me and my little sister got to go and talk with them and eat dinner:• Thompson said. Cosby Commerc ial By Ricky Prosolow On April 12, junior Corey Gray went to All-State fo speech contest. The contest was held at the University of Northerr Iowa. "The best part about it was the traveling. I was able to meet a lot of different people and see a lot of different things," Gray said. Drama teacher John Gibson also made the trip to UNI with Gray. "The only bad thing was that UNI ha a very large campus, so there was a lot of walking around. Once Mr. Gibson thought we were going the right way to where I was performing and it turned out to be the wrong way. So we had to turn around ana walk all the way back," Gray said. Gray was the soul representative from the school. "I was very proud of Corey and the way he represented the school at All-State. It was a beautiful day or the campus of UNI," Mr. Gibson said. To be able to attend All-State, one must first go Districts. If the student does well enough at Districts. they go onto State. Based on the performance there they are finally given the chance to attend All-State. It takes a lot of work, practice and sacrifice to be good enough to make it to All-State. "You have to keep practicing so you don't forget your speech, but it really is a once in a lifetime experience," Gray said.

Concert Choir also attended Large Group State Contest, Small Group State Contest and the All-City Festival. "I love the stress of getting ready for a competition.

One of the many things that the choirs did over the holidays was to visit local businesses and sing Christmas carols. Jefferson Edition performed many times with the Concert Choir. This not only helped the sound quality of the Concert Choir, but it also helped Jefferson Edition to focus more on their music and less on the choreography. Many times, unique things were added to the daily routine to make class more interesting and to help students focus and get away from the daily boredom. One of the unique things that the freshmen were allowed to do was to stand on the chairs. This not only helped the focus, but also helped to improve the posture of many of the students. The Concert Choir was given the honor of performing at the annual Holiday concert with the band and the orchestra. This concert gave the students a chance to work together with another form of music and also helped to promote all three forms of music to the spectators. Mixed Choirs Jefferson Edition performed at many places, including the AllCity Swing Choir festival. The Jefferson Edition girls outfits were approximately $180 each. They consisted of a teal dress, shoes and jewelry. The guy's outfits consisted of black pants, white collared shirts, teal vests, shoes and a lapel pin. They were allowed to pay for their outfits by fundraising or paying for it themselves. The Second Edition guys had a lot of dance steps to learn to perform in public. These moves required practice every other day and also one night during the week. A few of the places that Second Edition attended were the Bellevue Swing Choir festival, Lewis Central Invitational and All-City Swing Choir Festival. The elementary school tour was cancelled due to inclement weather. Part of Jefferson Edition's performances were solos. Jefferson Edition's Sarah Whitney sang a solo during a performance at the All-City Swing Choir Festival. Some of the other soloists included juniors Matt Story, Branden Hunt and Erin Stanfill. "I thought the most fun part of it all was getting up in front of an audience and singing," Stanfill said. Second Edition girls sang their hearts out at their performances. The Second Edition girls' outfits cost about $150 each and were mostly financed by fundraising. The guys total cost was approximately $125 each. "We didn't get our shoes until the last performance. So we had to use Jefferson Edition's shoes every time," freshman Kyle Dunlap said.

Forthefirsttime in school history, the jazz band took second at Regionals. This earned the jazz band a spot at State competition. This was the first year for Jazz Band to go to Iowa Jazz Championship. There were 21 members that participated in Jazz Band. These members practiced every morning at 7 am. "I'm not a morning person, but I still get up," junior Chad Dennis said. "I'm very proud of all the kids who get up and come to practice every morning against their will," band teacher Dave Clark said. Jazz band was not the only group to make beautiful music. The orchestra played at many places for many people including the governor. Orchestra teacher Brenda Copeland said, "It was really exciting playing for Governor Branstad. I had a good time." The orchestra also played at Harveys Casino during the AllCity Festival. Students enjoyed orchestra for various reasons. Senior Luke Samstead said, "The best part about orchestra is the parties! Orchestra rules!!" Through the long hours of practice and every exciting moment of competition, the jazz band and orchestra proved that they had something to be proud of. --- ------ ------ PHOTO BY JENNY SHARP P HOTCI BY JENNY SHARP Seniors Luke Jefferson and Adam Ashley, junior Jenni Bowen and senior Adam Birnley show off their stuff at practice. Jazz band students practiced every morning at 7 a.m. This practice helped them to attain ninth place at State competition. Members of Jazz Band try to stay focused on the music during one of their practices. Many students said that it was hard to concentrate on the music so early in the morning. Freshman Summer Franklin follows her music intently while also striving to stay in time with everyone else in the orchestra. This concentration caused others to see the success of the orchestra and want to be a part of that success. The orchestra had one of the highest number of participants that it has had in years. Freshman Katrina Boettger plays her violin with the ease and comfort that has come from many years of practice. Many of the orchestra students had played an instrument since elementary days. Jazz Band & Orchestra A look into the classroom By Michaela Kanger A look into any classroom around school would provide any outsider the chance to see the many different teaching styles and subjects. A wellness class was offered to help students learn more about staying healthy and becoming fit. The Badminton Club was established during the year. Many of its members participated in the Cornhusker State Games. The foods class served cappiccino, hot chocolate, flavored coffee and baked goods before and after school at 'Jacket Java'. Students also had the chance to work on designing web pages for various classes. Some classes made additions to the school's home page. The new career planning program helped students get on track as far as what classes "\\o\alKe ci b ecome prepared for their future careers. Some of the changes made affected only a portion of the students. The administration limited freshmen to closed campus lunch. This was to decrease the number of tardies from students leaving for lunch. This was also the first time that students had the chance to earn academic letters for having a 3.5 GPA or higher. After school activities were also set up to give students something to keep occupied after school. With all the changes made, students had more options and were able to look their best in the classroom.

Not everyday did students in Drivers Ed. get pulled over by a police officer or almost run over innocent pedestrians. Junior Hilary Beckner said, "I passed a cop car on a gravel road, not thinking anything about it. Soon after I was pulled over!" The officer walked up to the car and said, "Did I scare you?" The policeman was Beckner's uncle . Drivers Ed. teacher Steve Forbes looks ahead as sophomore Jamie Pearson sits in the driver's seat. Another interesting thing that happened in Driver's Ed. was that some students had a habit of trying to run over pedestrians while driving the car. "I didn't see anyone, then they were there," sophomore Dusty Purcell said. "I felt really stupid." Not only did Purcell almost hit two people, but he also tried to pull into oncoming traffic on the same day. Some students had complete faith in their fellow drivers. Sophomore Jenny Medearis trusted her fellow classmates enough to take a few snoozes in the back seat on the way back to school . "I gotta get my nap in somewhere," Medearis said.

Most seniors had fun decorating. "It was fun because we got to play with scissors and tape," senior Anna Martin said. Another new idea was to make invitations to the parents of the seniors to come check out the hallway. "I think it's cool that our parents got invitations so they were able to see all of the work that was put into the hall," senior Audra Nuzum said. Through all of the changes and twists, the seniors showed what could be accomplished and in the process everyone received a blast from the past.

While at the conference, Mr. Bannick was nominated for the award. There were approximately 250 people who attended and only 23 received the award. "I got a lot of ideas to share with students," Mr. Ban nick said. Mr. Ban nick received the thrill of a lifetime when the conference was covered on various TV stations. "Being covered on different news stations was beyond any expectations ," M r. Bannick said. "We were really glad that Mr. Ban nick got this award. He deserved it. He did a really good job with the Beehive," seniors Linda Eng and Misty Richards said. Bannick's award Welding gives students hands on experience By Becky Navarrette Don't forget those safety goggles when walking into ro-om 111. According to juniors Luke Bose and Jared Podraza, "The best part about going to their welding class is getting to wear the 'chick magnets' (a.k.a safety goggles)." Welding class was very dirty and students could get burns on clothes which was a disadvantage to the class. There were two dif- ferent classes, beginning and advanced. The difference between the two were that the advance did more projects throughout the year.

Some of those projects included: tables, chairs, desks and hooks. There were no girls in the advanced class. Podraza and Bose think that was because the girls didn 't want to mess up their hair or get dirty. The most m inor or major accident was that people smashed their fingers working on a project and the torch hose caught on fire. Sophomore Gary Hensley said, "I can't wait until I get to go to advanced welding." Junior Joe Hothersall works on a project during his welding class.

"We're trying to prevent the younger students from possible negative experiences," Assistant Principal John Neal said, "Closing campus prevents students' contact with older kids in unsupervised locations." "I don't understand why we are being punished for something previous freshmen have done. We didn't even have a chance to prove ou rselves to the school," freshman Jamie Perkins said. "It's really not fair that the freshmen are suffering the consequences of the trouble we made," sophomore Megan BeVirt said. Closed campus lunch Coo Students in foods learn kitchen techniques By Nicole Fichter & J amie Zarek The Foods class was made up of various units such as garnishing and baking. Aside from only reading about how to cook, students were able to try their hands at making different kinds of things such as cookies, pizza and taco burgers. Foods teacher Camelle Yost said, "My favorite unit is making Christmas cookies and then eating them." "They make good breakfast," freshman Nichole Price said, "I like foods because you get to cook and be with your friends.

Freshman Denise Brendle said, "Foods is a good class to be in to get an easy credit." Through all of the flour fights , grease spills and occasionally burned cookies that go along with every beginning cook, there were also many smiles and many new friendships. After all, nothing brings a friend faster than a batch of chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. Senior Jason Smith works on a assignment for his food class. Tammie Miller (00) ~-----.

"My students will learn how to use their tools that they get in class as a real life experience," Mr. Hudek said. Although the field trip Students work on their calculations to figure out how tall the tree Is at the Western Heritage Museum. was very educational, it was also very humorous at the same time. "It's a lot of fun, especial ly after you teach the students how to use the tools in class, then they forget when they get there," Mr. Hudek said. In going to measure the tree, the trip proved to be a great time for students. "I learned to apply stuff I learned in class to real life situations, but the best part was getting to leave school and walk around the Old Market," junior Sarah Colter said. This was just one way that classes tried to show how math could apply to students' daily lives. Measuring Christmas tree First year for an intramural sport By Andrea Hall Badminton has been played in classes for over 20 years. The Badminton Club was added to give students a intramural program. "It's a great game for eye-hand coordination and transfers to many other sports and games that involve racquets," said physic a I education teacher Sharon Semler. The whole idea came from a group of teachers that ate lunch together. They thought that there needed to be some intramural programs. Different teachers signed to help with activiti es.

Instead these nutritious items were considered as components of a human cell. Students in Mr. Hale's class were asked to create a human cell out of edible food. "The students had to come up with food that they thought would work as parts of the cell and the outer layer," Mr. Hale said. Juniors Carla Pollard and Nikki Moraine show off the cell they made, prior to eating It. food cake topped the list of food forthe outer cell layer. "Many students came up with unique ideas that have never been done before. It's good to see different stuff," Mr. Hale said. The students were required to make a presentation, describing the parts and functions of their cells and tell what foods they used to represent as parts of the cell. Mr. Hale came up with the idea through time and taking variations of things he had learned at classes. "I make the students do this so they have hands on experience to help their memories along," Mr. Hale said. Edible Cells o~ard Students shadow to choose career fields By R icky Prosolow Some students had the opportunity to try out the careertheywere interested in before deciding whether or not to go into that field. They did this by something called shadowing. Shadowing involved a student observing an employee during their day at the job. "Shadowing is a good idea because it gives you a good idea about careers and gives you a chance to see what the career is like," senior Angela Moore said, "I watched different exercises that patients went through, and I was helped with different areas to get into through physical Jeff Wigington (01) Dan Wilcox (01) Ronald Wilcoxen (01) Joseph Wildrick (02) Mark Wilkinson (02) Aaron Williams (02) Brian Williams (02) Justin Williams (01) Guy Wilson (01) Nicole Wilson (00) Nikki Wilson (00) Ryan Wilson (01) Sarah Wilson (00) Dan Wineland (02) Careers therapy." "The reason I shadowed a physical therapist was because I was interested in the different sports injuries associated with that job," senior Jane Beranek said. "They had me diagnose some patients, and asked me about what I would do in certain situations." Shadowing gave students a 'sneak peak' at jobs that interested them. By doing this they could choose which career path to follow. Sophomore Stacy Gray looks over career options with the new career counselor, Margaret Jaeckel.

"Acouple of years ago, Mrs. Rock and some students took everything out of my room and Mr. Madsen's room. When I walked into my room, it was like walking into Mr. Madsen's room," history teacher Doug Donaldson said. Ransom notes became popular when English teacher Jane Hannigan had her toys kidnapped. "The ransom note was attached to my Woody doll and it read, 'If you want the rest of your toys unharmed it's going to cost you a 24 pack of Pepsi and a box of hoho's. ' W hen Mr. Strutzenbu rg an d Mr. Donaldson retu rned the toys, they had been harmed and some were colored on," Ms. Hannigan said. Mr. Donaldson and English teacher Kirk Madsen have been rivals for many years. "There would be times when I would get a phone cal l. The phone would ring and when I picked it up, the cord was gone," Mr. Madsen said. In the end some teachers are more likely to be the prankee th an th e pranker. It's all just part of the game.

Friendships prove imporlant By Mindi Richardson When the word friendship is mentioned, it may have many different definitions. High school friendships may last throughout students' lives, yet some diminish soon after graduation. Some friendships are long, yet some are short and sweet. Seniors Jamie Coan and Daniell Birchard have been friends for nine years. They have had their ups and downs, yet they are still going and still best friends. "Daniell and I hav.e been friends since fourth grade," Coan said, "It's a nice feeling to know I have someone that I can trust." Trust was the major factor in friendships. When most students consider someone to be their, so-called "friend", then trust was a huge part. Being able to trust someone makes it easier to communicate and listen to them. "Trust is the only thing that holds a friendship together," senior Krissy Mandolfo said. Friends also make tragic events a little easier and can help deal with the tragedy. "When my best friend broke his leg, I helped him get around and tried to make things a little easier," senior Brandy Valyer said. Seniors Matt DeWolf, Mark Showers, Jose Vargas, Chris Moore and Justin Kammrad are a part of a group informally named the 'Playstation Junkies.' "Besides being playstation buddies, my friends are very important to me," Kammrad said. "The more you hang out with a person, the more you can trust them." Whether it's going to the mall with the girls or just playing playstation with the boys, friendships were a major part of students' lives. 11..2 Friendships Thomas E. Aldmeyer Jamie J.

Counselor Nancy Hale said, " I think it's great that the students are looking towards their futures. It shows some organization skills." For the many who chose college, there were many decisions to make; from two to fou r year colleges, to expenses and majors, before making the final pick. Senior Jason Rasmussen said," My decision wasn't that hard. I decided on Iowa State. College, to me, will be a fun experience as it also prepares me for the real world." For the ones who chose jobs, decisions were also an important factor, from deciding on the perfect job to the hours. Some have based their final decision on it being their future career. Senior Krissy Mandolfo said, " I really don't know what I'm going to do, I think for now I'll just work and save money." For the few who decided to give their time to PT's and training, deciding to go or not was the major decisions. Senior Holly Womochil said, "I think going to the Army is going to be an experience of a lifetime and it will keep me in shape." Senior Autumn Rockwell said, "While getting ready for college, I'm also planning to get married in the fall." Rockwell, planned to major in Radiology. Decision making was an important factor when seniors started deciding future plans. Any choice that was made could influence what happened one, five or even ten years down the road.

Seniors Survive Stress By Lori Mc Vey For many students, being a senior can start off enjoyable but towards the end can end up very stressful. From scholarship applications, money for caps, gowns, announcements and senior pictures, to that dreadful term paper evf?ry senior must write to graduate, stress was in the air. "There's so many scholarships and they all say the same thing. They're all 20 pages long and you have to fill them all out separately," senior Brandi Blum said, "You either have to be dirt poor, really smart or really involved in school to even be looked at in most of the scholarships." To add to all the stress seniors were all ready faced with, the administration decided to throw a term paper at the students. Seniors could be found working endless hours reading, typing and doing research upon research to finish the most important paper they have ever written in their high school career. Another subject seniors found hard to talk about was how much money they had to come up with to pay for everything. Many students spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on senior pictures, announcements, and cap and gown rentals. Seniors also found themselves running to the mail box hoping to get the letter of acceptance to the college of their dreams. "Even though you might not get accepted to the college of your dreams, you can't give up. It might be stressful at first but it's even more stressful to know that you have just given up," senior Catie Roeman said. 116 Senior Stress Audrey J. Grieder B rooke C. H allberg Jackie L.

Most senior portraits were taken during the year, as compared to the previous summer. On the average, the total picture package was $465-500. "I spent $889 on pictures," senior Sara Williams said. Although seniors had the same expenses for graduation, the amount varied from student to student. The cap, gowns and other various items for graduation cost around $200. Senior Brad Blakeman's expenses were around $1500, while Sen ior Holly Womochil's costs were around $1400. Along with pictures and graduation, seniors had graduation parties; such as an openhouse, which were very expensive. Some students spent $100- $200 on their parties. The average number of announcements students ordered was around 50. The seniors who bought class rings spent about $200. In order for seniors to remember the year, yearbooks were also available, which cost $30- 40. Some seniors bought optional items including a memory book, souvenir tassels, senior shirts, key rings and photo albums. The prices ranged from $5-30. A new item was the mascot tassel tag, which was $10. If one wanted an easier way of deciding what to buy, the company had three easy packages to choose from. The prices ranged from $90-150. The more items the student wanted, the more the student paid. "The costs are way too expensive, I'm sure my mom will be glad when I am gone," Womochil said. Senior Expenses 19 ~~~~ h.J '011 I~ TlJb..

Reflecting on missed • memories By Katie Dunlap When seniors leave, it is usually a time for celebration and looking into the future. No matter how bright the future may be, some students will always miss a small part of the school. Many students decided they will miss the familiar faces around the school. "I'll miss all the great teachers and good times with my friends," senior Matt DeWolf said. Some students will miss other things. "I will miss having my car towed, the car with the Jackets license plate. I will also miss having my car keyed daily," senior Tony Jordan said. "All through high school, I have always thought that I would miss Tee Jay when I left, but now I can't wait to go to college and get on with my life. The one thing I will miss though is newspaper. I have gained friends, experience and good memories from working on The Signal," senior Michaela Kanger said. Those who have been involved in athletics will also miss their days on the court, track or field. "I'll miss walking into the gym before a sporting event and having that adrenaline rush. This was my last year to be able to walk in and see everyone and all the banners that represent Tee Jay. I'll miss not being able to play sports. I think I'll miss the gym the most," senior Amanda Moore said. No matter what the individual things were, students all agreed on one thing, that the school will be missed very much. "My times at Tee Jay were some of the best in my life. I will always remember the years that were spent here and will greatly miss them," senior Laura Herrick said. 126 What students will miss Michelle L. Medearis Amanda M.

Memories Last a Lifetime By Jamie Zarek When people looked back at their high school years, they tend to remember the good times. Even though there was all the homework, term papers and filling out of scholarship forms, being a senior was great, according to senior Nick Blanchard. Some students enjoyed the admiration from the underclassmen. "I would have to say the best thing was being able to leave early and just knowing that you were being looked up to," senior Tommy Aldmeyer said. When some people think back, they remembered their best and worst teachers. The one who was the craziest and who told the best jokes. "I didn't have a favorite teacher. I didn't hate all of them, I just didn't have a favorite," Blanchard said. Senior Lindsay Jastorff was able to choose a favorite teacher. "Mr. McKinley was my favorite teacher because he was really nice and he taught us really well ." Other things also had their significance, not just those in the classroom. These included things like sports, friends and clubs. "My favorite part of high school, would have to be wrestling! I went to districts two years and went to state my sophomore through senior year. This year was my first year medaling. I got third place for my weight group," recalled Blanchard. For some, the hardest thing to do was to say good-bye to the many people that had influenced their lives for many years. "I had a lot of friends that were juniors, so I didn't get to see them as much as I would have if I was still in school," said Aldmeyer.

Membership has its privilege By Lynsi Brooks There were many privileges that seniors had. One of these included not having to go study hall. Senior Jon Schreiber was happy that he didn't have to go to study hall. "Not having to go to study hall was definitely a privilege of being a senior. Seniors had short day instead," Schreiber said. Senior Matt Hendrix agreed, "I love being able to leave for an hour or so, it gives me a chance to go back to my house in case I forgot something." Many seniors liked to leave feeling that they had accomplished something. One of those accomplishments was trust. Senior Briana Smith said, "I think teachers and administrators gave us more respect and trust because we had set an example for the underclassmen, especially the freshmen." Senior Tiffany Hancock said, "I definitely felt like I was trusted more this year than any other year." Many teachers agree with Smith. History teacher John McKinley said, "I most definitely give seniors more trust because nine times out of ten, I have already had them in one of my classes prior to their senior year." Another privilege that seniors had was, open campus lunch. Senior Chris Moore said, "I'm glad that we had open campus lunch because I don't like to stay here and eat because the food is really gross and it gets too crowded in the student lounge." While some seniors had more privileges than others, all seniors enjoyed the freedom that they received. 12~ Senior Privileges Marie J. Wajda Andrew L. Ward Bonnie .J. We.·t Dana White Lori M.

They were faced with many difficult decisions that would affect the rest of their lives. Moving away from home was a major plan of many seniors. Senior Delinda Long said, "After I graduate from college, I plan to move south, maybe Florida." Others wanted to stay close to their roots. "I want to stay here because of my family and friends ,'' senior Holly Redmond said. Many were faced with the decision of whether to further their education or not. Senior Jon Schreiber said, "I might go to college. I want to own my own business, so it could help me." Others decided that college was not the right path for them . "I am not going to college. I don't need it for the career I would like to do,'' senior Mindy Bunch said. There were a variety of colleges that students chose to attend after high school. Senior Sarni Shields said, "I'm going to Iowa Western, because I don't want to move away." Senior Brooke Hallberg said, "I'm going to attend Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville." Seniors also began to think about starting a fami ly. "I plan to start my family after I graduate from college and become a nurse,'' senior Audrey Grieder said. Some seniors choose to enter the Army, Air Force or the Navy. Senior Holly Womochil said, "I want to be in the Army because it will help me when I get into the FBI." The choices that students made were diverse and fit each one as an individual. Future Plans 12'1 Senior Luke Jefferson receives $19,000 from the U.S. Army.

One of these was the Iowa West Foundation Scholarship which was won by Nick LeGuillou and Audrey Grieder. These two seniors received $20,000 each. "I plan on using the money to attend UNI to pursue a career in computer science," LeGuillou said. Seniors James Mawhiney, Pete McNeal, Jesse Walters, Holly Womochil, Luke Jefferson and Melissa McClain plan to join the Military. They each received checks ranging from $19,000 to $33,000. The Peter Kiewit semifinalists scholarships were given to seniors Stephanie Simpson and Gregory Schnackenberg in the amounts of $1000 each. The Mina Harsch music Major Scholarship was given to senior Ryan Redding. "I was very happy to find out that I received the Mina Harsch scholarship," Redding said. As the assembly came to an end, so did the year. Excitement mixed with sadness drew upon the faces of the seniors as they walked out of the New Fieldhouse. The honor day not only gave seniors a chance to receive scholarships an d awards, but also gave them the chance to be honored by the student body and faculty. 128 Senior Honor Day Seniors Jeff Smay, Nick LeGuillou, Lin and Matt DeWolf exit the New Field with after the Senior HoAor Day assembl Senior Audrey Grieder receives the Iowa West Foundation Scholarship of $20,000.

PHOTO BY MATT D E W OLF By Amber Baker & Laura Herrick Senior Skip Day is always one of the highlights of the senior year, although it is not well liked by the faculty. "It's inevitable that students will do it though it is not excused. If you are not called in, every class that is missed is counted as a truant. If you are close to failing, skipping is not worth losing graduation privileges," Principal Warren Weber said. Seniors chose to do many things on this day. One of the dominate activities was sleeping. "I chose to sleep in on Senior Skip Day. There wasn't very much to do so I just stayed in bed. It felt so good!" senior Audra Nuzum said. Many others decided to spend some time in the great outdoors and go camping. Seniors Jamie Kennedy, Delinda Long and Michaela Kanger spent the day relaxing at Lake Manawa. "It was so cold and rainy out that we wanted a warm breakfast. We ended putting our cinnamon buns on sticks and warming them up over the fire," Kanger said. There were also some unfortunate seniors who were forced to spend the day at school because of projects, tests or other reasons. "I had to stay at school on Senior Skip Day because I had too many truants in one of my classes and didn't want to flunk. It was not fun," senior Kara Polchow said. Whether it was spent at home, at the lake or at school, Senior Skip Day was made memorable in the hearts of all of the seniors PHOTO BY Mt HAELA KANGER SeniorsNacotiesFloydandJose Seniors Delinda Long and Vargas started skip day early Jamie Kennedy warm up by their with a trip to Worlds of Fun the camp fire at Lake Manawa on day before with other students.

These were the sights that welcomed participants at the senior ski trip. The price of the trip was $20 and an extra $5 for the ski lessons. Senior Chuck Keefer said, "The best part of the trip was the 'ski lessons'." But senior Adam Ashley didn't need the lessons as he had been to Colorado many times. Others just didn't want or need them. Ashley said, " Big ol' Mount Crescent wasn't anything compared to the slopes in Colorado."

Senior Josey Fredrickson and Keefer said, "The hardest thing was getting off the ski lift." Some found the trip a bit painful. Fredrickson and P.E. teacher John Kinsel collided after Fredrickson tried to hook a right. Before he could turn back, Mr. Kinsel ran into him. The extent of the injuries consisted of bruises, blisters and scrapes. Keefer ended up going on his head after he lost one ski. He couldn't keep his balance and went head first into a patch of ice. Ashley said, "The best thing about the trip was getting to spend 'quality' time with the class of 99."' 130 Senior Ski Trip Senior Natasha Cannon checks her equipment before attempting to conquer the hill.

To others, it was a time of sadness and sorrow, the end of childhood. Whether the beginning or the end, seniors shared a time of togetherness and goodbyes. Commencement was held on Wednesday, May 26 at C. B. Stadium at 8 p.m. Seniors were seated in Wilson's gym anxiously waiting for the big moment. "It was really hot waiting for the ceremony to start," junior escort Sarah Colter said. The valedictorian was Matt DeWolf and the salutatorian was Nick LeGuillou. One memorable moment was when Leguillou began his speech by speaking to his parents in French. Symposium speakers Amanda Moore, Jeff Smay and Linda Eng also addressed the class. The graduating 219 seniors, the last of the millenium, were led in by the faculty. "I'll really miss the teachers," senior Mark Showers said. DeWolf ended his speech with a warning to the world about the class' potential. "We go on now as a group to experience all that the world has to offer. So watch out world ... because we have left our nest and are just beginning to spread our wings," he said. While seniors waited to turn in their robes after the ceremony, junior Matt Story sang the class song, "Good Riddance."

Graduation 183 Looking towards a goal By Michaela Kanger All those who participated in athletic events found that it took concentration, determination and hard work to meet their goals. Some achieved all of their goals, some reached a few of them and some worked to meet personal goals. The baseball team worked toward their goals this summer season and had the chance to play in the District games. Volleyball also achieved a great goal when they became District champions. The goals of the cross country team were high as runner Harvey Coble ran toward state, but finished one place short of qualifying to go. However, the cross country teams as a whole did well and had a record number of runners. The Varsity football team came only within looking distance of their goals. The team had hopes of making the playoffs at the beginning of the season and winning the River City conference title, but the game against Ralston stammered their last chances to make the playoffs. The boys' basketball team was able to overcome their downfalls and accomplish their goal. They broke their losing streak that had lasted through 42 games with a win against Roncalli. No matter what sport one participated in, looking towards a goal gave the teams determination to make the season memorable.

Crowd support was important to the athletes on the court, track or field. "When we beat A.L. in volleyball, it was the best feeling. Knowing that we could beat them and having the crowd there was great for us. Not only was it great knowing that we were able to beat our crosstown rival, but because of it, we becam e District Champs," junior Nikki Moraine said. For some, the determination came from a previous win . "When we were playing Roncalli we all knew that we were capable of playing at the same level as they were. Then when the crowd got us going, there was no stopping us. That win gave P HOTO BY MICHAELA KANGER :: Football players sound their barbaric battle cry during the Homecoming pep rally. us confidence and helped us go on to beat our rival Lewis Central," basketball player junior Justin Radke said. Many of the teams found that they felt better after giving their all during a game, win or lose. "No matter what sport it is or what team you are playing there is always a battle to the end. You always want the win. In some cases you don't always get the win, but knowing that you are able to play with them at the same level is what keeps you going," junior Carla Pollard said. Not only did the athletes strive to win the game or meet, but they also wanted to win bragging rights. Playing their rivals gave students the motivation to play their best and determination to win.

Because soccer was sanctioned, the girls had the chance to compete in Districts. The tournament forced the players to compete into the hot summer. The scorching temperatures didn't affect sophomore Tina Bonnaci as she shattered a previous record scoring 13 goals in a single season. "I was excited when I broke the record. I thought it was a great accomplishmentfor an underclassman," Bonnaci said. There were two first year players on the varsity squad. Seniors Amanda Moore and Shaunte! Krisel decided to try their hand, or foot, at the game. "My most memorable moment of my first year playing was getting in a fight with a Glenwood girl. Everyone thought it was really funny except for me because I had to sit the rest of that game and the next with my first red card," Moore said. Senior Larissa Christensen made first team All City. Graduate Brandie Jacoby and Bonacci made second team All City. Both Christensen and Bonacci made second team All Conference. The junior varsity team had problems with a shortage of players. Many varsity players had to come down and help. "By the end of the season everyone was communicating better and became closer friends," Bonacci said.

The final game was against Sioux City North with the ending score of 4-12. "It was disappointing to go through all the hard work and dedication to the team to have it end one game away from going to state,'' said senior Harvey Coble. During the last game of Districts, senior Matt Hendrix said, "The first two games went really well, I think. When it came down to the third game it felt like our full tank of gas that we had had throughout the first two games was empty." To make Districts, the team gave its all throughout the season. "I can still remember during one of the j.v. games, there was a fly ball that went into the left field. Bernie Kinsella went to catch it and didn't realize how close he was to the metal advertisement boards. He ended up running right into it. He fell in the same position as he did when he hit the wall. He just laid there for a moment, and then got up and was back in act io n," said senior Chris Quakenbush. Many players were rewarded for their performances.

The girls beat A.L. at the first round of Districts and went to Regionals for the first time in at least 4 years. "We started off a little shaky, but we had many exciting wins and a few disappointing losses," senior Amanda Moore said. Injuries are a part of any sport and softball had their share too. "Alex LeGuillou got smacked in the eye with the ball. It was gross. Her eye was black and blue and swollen," senior Marie Wajda said. The softball season included many improvements. "We needed to concentrate more at practice and on the mental part of the game. Our batting improved throughout the season and physical errors were cut down," Coach Marla Peterson said. The practice was usually different than the actual game because you didn't have the coach telling you how to act during the play but the team worked on that. Freshman Jamie Perkins said, "Other improvements that were made throughout the summer was knowing what to do when we get the ball in certain situations." Coach Peterson had a few good memories herself. Beating A.L. in Districts was one of her favorites, she also enjoyed teaching the girls how to sl ide and practicing with a hole in left field . There were no serious injuries. "Tina Bonnacci always had bad scrapes from sliding, but that was about as bad as it got," Moore said. Moore's performance was good enough to earn her special recognition by making all-tournament team for the AL classic. "I was very honored. I've always strived to compete hard during tournaments. I also had a very good pitcher who gave me my 'lucky' homerun," Moore said. Softball c~ ~ s s c (D 1l1illil ttll"y t?.rvLrrcl viwWl!~rrcr­ ~ thJr w~ +~ p--r~clr By Jill Wallace It was a heartbreaking end to a memorable season for the Cross Country team. The girls' and boys' team started out with a full varsity and junior varsity team, but by the end of the season the j.v. team was dwindling and beginning to falter. There were various problems that kept some runners from competing. These sometimes caused a j.v. runner to run a varsity meet. Sophomore Mike Driver knew the experience all too well. "Running Varisity was a whole different race. On j.v. I could run a faster time and a better place on the exact same course," said Driver. There were runners who didn't get a chance to show their potential. Richard LaChappell was one of those. "I had to miss about five meets because of strained abs," La Chappel said. He placed in the top 25, four times. Senior Larissa Christensen was only able to run in two meets before having hip problems. She said, "I feel I did pretty good. This was the first year I decided to do cross country instead of volleyball, but I am really glad I did it." After all of his effort and hard work, senior Harvey Coble did not make it to state. The top seven runners were chosen at Districts with Coble placing eighth. "That was a downside. I've seen him grow from a follower freshman to a positive senior leader," Coach Doug Muehlig said. Despite the fact that there was a lack of participants due to injuries, the team showed incredible effort and strove to be better than ever. Cross Counrty I .. P HOTO BY MICHA EL~ J<.

If winning was everything, the varsity football team's season would have been a disappointment, but the gridders proved this theory wrong. Despite all of the hard work and dedication by so many players in the off-season and in regular season, the team fell short of the high expectations many fans, reporters and Coach Dan Stutzenberg had. Injuries, injuries and more injuries, became the theme of the Jackets. The Jacket's key injuries were; senior Mark Showers, junior Shawn Carmichael and junior Ben Mawhiney. "It was hard to sit on the sidelines all that time knowing I couldn't do anything about the game," senior Mark Showers said. The team was led by seniors; Justin Kammrad, Chris Moore, Adam Neville and Jose Cabellaro. "They were leaders throughout the season, w in o r lose ," said Co ach Strutze n berg. According to Coach Strutzeberg the key loss came at the South Sioux City game. "We beat them up and down the field physically, but we turned the ball over way to many times," said Coach Strutzenberg. With that win the team would have moved to an 3-3 mark and picked up some momentum carrying into the playoffs, but it wasn't to be. The team had an excellent year on the defensive side of the ball, finishing first in the conference. Overall the playe rs showed their spirit and strength throughout the season.

That was to come together as a team. "Towards the end we grew closer. There were many players who were willing to help in any situation," junior Nikki Moraine said. Two of the main focus' of the season were going to Regionals and also competing at State. The team fell short by one game. The final game was against Sioux City Heelan, with the ending score of 9-15, 15-3, 10-15, 2-15. "Even though we became District champs it was disappointing to lose after everything we had done to get to that level," junior Melissa Campbell said. Beating crosstown rival Abraham Lincoln made the girls District champs. "Beating A.L. was an awesome experience. It's what we were working for. To have finally beaten them when it really mattered was an unforgettable moment," Moraine said. Not only were the girls winning, but they were doing it in style. In 1998 new uniforms were delayed due to the right sizes not being available. The uniforms came, but the team was disappointed when the uniforms didn't have any orange on them. Coach Bond took the uniforms and had the name of the school put in orange above the numbers. At the season's end the team felt that their its first goal had been accomplished; they came together as a team.

Being on the team was especially memorable for junior Kohei Suzuki, who was a foreign exchange student. "Mr. Hale encouraged us and I appreciated him so much.

This was the third year that he made the trip to State. "I was so nervous and overwhelmed I couldn't think. I think that is why I lost my first match," Blanchard said. Blanchard regained his confidence and went on to take third place in the class 3A division with a record of 38-4. Atthe River Cities Conference both Blanchard and junior Jonathan Taylor placed first. The team wrestled their hearts out during the season. However, theteam did not have enough wrestlers to wrestle in all the weight classes. "We may not have enough people to wrestle all the weight classes, but we do support each other as much as possible," Taylor said. Making weight was very stressful for some. "There was a new weight rule this year. We had to make sure that our body fat was below four percent," Blanchar.d said. Some people worked out with layers of clothes on or just didn't eat. "People need to be careful because you don't want to starve yourself to the point of injury," sophomore Jason Mickey said. Wrestling was not considered a team sport. "We can't blame our mess ups on the other wrestlers because it's one-on-one," Mickey said. The sport made the grapplers work hard and gave them confidence and a natural high. "No matter how many times I win it is not good enough," junior Pat Marill said. ~ Wrestling I Junior Jonathan Taylor wrestles his opponent from Kuemper High School.

The boys' basketball season ended with two key victories. "The feeling after beating Roncalli and L.C. is indescribable. You can't put it into words, except that you want more," junior Wade Schumann said. The Jackets were tested many times during the season, both mentally and physically. "We started to gel more as a team. We knew each others strengths and weaknesses. In the end it helped us perform better on the court," senior Jose Vargas said. "We im proved tremendou sly through the season, especially after winter break," Head Coach Colin Smith said, "I felt that the team got refocused and showed they could be a contender." Maybe the most intriguing improvement was the teams' free throw percentage, going from around 50 percent to an astonishing 80 percent. With all the improvements, the team came up with it's first win in two years, by beating RCC rival Omaha Roncalli 68-65. "After that game, I thought the team finally started to click and we were playing all four quarters to our potential," senior Dennis Owens said. After a few key losses, the Jackets pulled off their second win of the season, against cross town rival Lewis Central. The team was lead by Radke's career high 35 points. "I came out shooting and fell into a groove early. I made almost everything I threw up," Radke said. The team started the first round Districts playing against Sioux City West. The final score was 51-80.

"The beginning of the season was bumpy, but after our first win against Boystown the season changed dramatically," sophomore Tina Bonacci said. With only one senior in the starting line up, the underclassmen stepped up and met the challenge. "I thought the season went well even though we lacked experience that some of the other teams had," senior Larissa Christensen said. The season was full of memories. "My favorite memory was when we were playing the number 1 O team in the nation (South Sioux City) and we were only down by four at the end of the first quarter," junior Carla Pollard said. A memory the girls will take with them is a trip to Sioux City where they watched the NAIA college girls basketball tournament. "The tournament was a good experience for us. Watching the more experienced competition made us realize what we need to do to be successful," junior Nikki Moraine said. "By the end of the season we were working more forthe team goal, which was to play together, than for our own personal goals," junior Tiffany Pogge said. The girls had a dissappointing end of the season, losing to cross-town rival, Abraham Lincoln, in the first round of Districts. The final score was 40-58. "The loss to A.L. was heart breaking. We had a very good chance of winning that game, but fate was against us that night," PHOTl"BYM1tW'L4KA11.'-I Christensen said.

The runners were expected to do well at the Drake Relays, but unfortunately injuries played a role in low scores and slow times. PHOTO BY MICHAELA KANGER The Drake Relays left all of the track runners full of memories. These were both good and bad. "Drake was full of unexpected events. We had key runners injured and we dropped the baton. It turned out to be a meet that I will never forget, but for the wrong reasons," junior Jonathan Taylor said. As defending champions of the C.B. Relays, the Tee Jay thinclads had something to prove. Not only did they step up but they took the meet with them. "Winning this meet was important to us. It's kind of like claiming our territory," junior Justin Radke said. The infamous Kinsel Relays were also held. For the seniors, the Kinsel Relays were what they will take with them as a memorable moment of high school. Some of these moments may prove to be more embarrassing than others. "In one of the events, Justin Kammrad tripped over a dummy and Adam Neville nailed him with a water balloon," senior Chris Moore said. Although the thinclads didn't have much luck with achieving their goals of doing well at Drake, many did qualify for state and those who completed walked away with ninth place in the 4A class. · · eaks up behind him and breaks senior Chris Moore gets a surprise as a fellow runner sn 1ater balloons on him after the Kinsel Relays.

There were many new additions to the team . Not only were the numbers up from previous years, but there were new coaches. These included Head Coach Pat Nepple and Assistant Coaches Brooks Schild and Lori Williams. Along with the new additions there were new goals for the team. One of the goals included scoring more points at the track meets. Despite the bad weather throughout the season the girls hung on. Sophomore Megan Bevirt said, "I think we would have had more personal bests and scored more points if the weather would have been good. We had maybe five meets where we had good weather." The team shined through the C.B. Relays scoring 58 points, the most since 1992. "I was very pleased with the effort from the kids. It's a lot more fun when it's the biggest meet of the season. There were a lot of personal bests at the meet," Nepple said. The 4x1 00 tear.n, which consisted of juniors Tiffany Pogge, Lindsay O'Dell, Carla Pollard and Nikki Moraine, took a trip to the Drake Preliminaries in Ankeny to see if they could qualify for the Drake Relays. The girls were unsuccessful, but gave a lot of effort. Through all of the ups and the downs, the runners gave their all in every meet and met every goal that they set.

Five of the nine regular season games were within one point. The Jackets struggled at times on the offense, but, "Later in the season our offense balanced with our solid defense,'' senior defensive man Greg Schnackenberg said. Throughout the year, junior forward Richard La Chappell and junior midfield Jared Podraza made tremendous strides to improve the offensive attack. Offense wasn't the only improvement during the season. Many players had to step up their defensive game to help fill in the gaps on the field. According to several players, there was one player who took on a lot of responsibility and gave every game all that he had. "Our goalie, Jon Ryba, really helped us out a lot. He gave it his all in every game up to the last seconds. Ryba kept us going when we were down," LaChappell said. Many players also walked away with a handful of memories. Whether it was a win or loss, memories were important to the team. "Going to the River Cities Conference Finals and beating Gross 1-0, after Gross beat us 7-1 in the regular season is something I'll always remember. Those games gave us a lot of confidence in each other and ourselves," Ryba said. In the end, the team tried their hardest and accomplished more than had been accomplised in a long time.

These were the conditions for most of the season for the boys' golf team. The golfers planned to have a season full of practices and filled with matches on the beautiful greens, but these plans were changed. The boys instead found themselves inside the gym and having matches canceled. This not only affected the playing time, but also kept the younger players from gaining needed experience. There were many times that the boys were forced to play in the rain. Many of the golfers were disappointed with the way the weather took hold of their matches. Junior Nate Foley agreed, "The weather had a big effect on our games. It seemed like every tournament we had, there was bad weather." For the many new golfers, this was a very discouraging way to start out their athletic career. Junior Clint Kephart's golf season was especially difficult. "It was my first year golfing and I had to play in the rain, so it was a little harder for me." Senior Kyle Behrens felt having the rainy conditions put a damper on the whole season. "Golf is fun, but when it rains you get all wet from the knees down. If it hadn't rained so much, golf would have been a lot more fun." Even though the days were rainy and the team wasn't able to practice or play as much as desired, the duffers did their best, even if they had to wear a raincoat to do it.

This came about as there were no seniors to take on the leadership role. With no seniors to lead the team, the juniors were forced to step up and take control. This provided an opportunity for even more teamwork. Junior Laura Baldwin was one of these key leaders. ''There were a lot of inexperienced golfers, but everyone slowly got better. We just needed a lot of teamwork," Baldwin said. As the season went on, teamwork improved with every girl and proved to be very beneficial. Junior Jody Churchill said, "Everyone enjoyed spending time with each other and working as a team. We have all grown closer this season." The first part of the season, the weather turned rainy. Since the only practice that the girls could do was outside, there wasn't much practice time for them. "I think the girls could have done better. All we needed was a little more practice, but the girls did their best," Coach Wayne Mains said. Junior Leilah Hennings said, "Golf is like a new pair of underwear. Atfirst it's constrictive, but then it just becomes a part of you." With teamwork, a lot could be accomplished as long as everybody did their part. After the slow start and lack of experience, the golf team did improve and started to really understand what teamwork was all about.

Boys' tennis was off to a slow start with three returning lettermen and three rookies. "I think we got off to a slow start," junior Tim Albertus said, "We tried our best." This was sophomore Mike Young's first year in tennis. "It would have been nice to see a better turnout. We probably could have won more if we had more players," Young said. The team won three games throughout the year. They were very c·ompetitive and tried their hardest to make a great outcome. The guys knew that they had to give their onehundred percent best and that's all they cared about. Albertus said, "If we work as a team and practice in the off season a little then we can be pumped for the season. Through all of the hard work and dedication we put in through out the season we deserve the championship, in my eyes." To achieve success, the team needed to play year round. "The players showed improvement during the season, but more work needed to be done during the off season," Coach Jack French said. "Tennis is a fun sport and it is very challenging. People think all you do is hit the ball but you have to have good reflexes and a positive attitude," Young said. Senior Mike Williams agreed. "Tennis isn't yourtypical sport but everyone should try it once in their life. It's fun and I've been a three year letterman," Williams said.

One of these was the new coach. Physical Education teacher Greg Hansen took on the role of coach for the varsity squad. Another vital part of the team were the 11 seniors and their leadership. Four of the seniors were four year letter winners. Senior Catie Roemen said, "I think our understanding of the word 'team' grew stronger. Everyone tried to work together and keep the spirit up." Many of the accomplishments went far beyond the initial expectations for the team. One of these was accomplished at the City Tennis Tournament. The team surprised everyone by placing second. This was especially gratifying since the girls placed just under Lewis Central. "We worked very hard at our accomplishments at the City Tournament and I thought we did very well," senior Jamie Aldredge said. With the improvements, there were also problems. Senior Meghan Hardie said, "There were so many people on Varsity because of all the seniors. A lot of people didn't get much play time and that got kind of frustrating." Senior Michelle Medearis said, "The season went well until the end when seniors didn't want to miss their last day of school for Regionals. With all the problems the girls faced the team still went on with a victorious season." "As a whole, we improved a lot more this year compared to last season.

Students enjoyed many activities during the weekend. Some of these scheduled events included hiking, crafts and fishing. The students also had the chance to make water bottle rockets. Associate Jan Smith said, "The weather was bad Friday but it all cleared up in the end." Jimmy Larsen said, "I'll always remember playing football with my friends and fishing for the first time." Mike Allen really enjoyed the camp and especially the activities. "I liked making beach towels, fishing and hiking," Allen said. Mrs. Smith enjoyed the camp even more than the students that attended. "This year's group was the best group we've had go to camp. The students really had fun and the camp food was excellent." Mrs. Smith also remembered the not so calm times. Friday night someone dressed up as the legendary 'Bigfoot' and ran through the camp terrorizing the students and even frightening some of the chaperones. Jimmy Larsen said, "I got scared of the monster." At one point, the monster climbed up on one of the roofs and started yell ing to frighten the students even more. Through all of the activities, storms and adventures, the campout turned out great and the students had the time of their lives. "The kids al l had a , great time," Mrs. Smith said. f'i,2, SPED Campout PHOTO l:IY M· A" Associate Sandy Griffis helps Brandon Weese and Eric Mc Kern as they work on their rockets.

"I had a great day," Kay Alstadt said, "I really liked running!" After winning first place in the SO-meter Dash, Jacob Sorenson said, "The sky was beautiful and it was fun to see old friends." Soon after crossing the finish line, an award ceremony was held for the competitors. For many of the students that participated, this was the highlight of the day. Danielle Thompson and Sorenson proved their speed when they took home first place in the SO-Meter Dash. Brian Bird and Brandon Weese decided to take it a little slower and enjoyed the 2S-Meter Walk. The two ended up taking home the blue ribbon for the event. Eric McKern and Crystal Walker also enjoyed a moment in the spotlight as hey accepted their ribbons for being first in the Standing Long Jump. Walker also took home first place honors in the Softball Throw. McKern said, "I got first place! I had a great day." Throughout the day, the students showed the heart and determination that can only come from many, many hours of practice and in the end, they achieved everything that they had started out to accomplish. It was truly a day for making memories. P HOTO BY M tCHAELA !<ANGER Special education students watch and cheer as the first bottle rocket is made.

Autographs Looking back over the year By Michaela Kanger As the year came to an end and the halls of the school were once again left empty, students reflected on the changes that the year had brought. Three teachers decided to bid farewell. Science teacher Wanda Synhorst, Spanish teacher Sam Martinez and print shop teacher Dave White retired. Physical Education teacher Lavonne Pierson organized a 'Fun Run' in April. There were over 300 participants according to Ms. Pierson. "It was nice to watch all of our neat kids go out there and run and have fun. Then afterward they all sat on the track, talked and listened to music. We have a lot of neat students here," Ms. Pierson said. Mayor Tom Hanafan even took time to come to the event and fire the starting gun. "The Mayor was really impressed with the students," Ms. Pierson said, "We have such a good school, yet we don't get much good recognition." The school stepped up security the last month of school after the shooting in Littleton, CO. The incident in Littleton called attention to schools across the nation. Students had to take off coats when entering the building and visitors had to sign in at the attendance office and wear a visitor's pass. As the seniors left, they began to look toward the future. They also couldn't help reflecting on the past. Whatever their plans were, graduation brought them together to take one last look over the year together. Closing Division I I Senior James Mawhiney and Assistant track coach Robert Jenkins try to maintain their balance in the sack race during the Kinsel Relays. Students start off for the first ever Fun Run. The run was two miles long. Over 300 students participated and were given the choice of running and/ or walking.

Closing Division One last Mok ... The end of our four years is here at last. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that I was walking into Mr. Hansen's home room that first day my fresh.man year. This book has been more trouble than it's worth, but we went through that trouble just for you! Sure, it has mistakes, but don't criticize too much, we did go through heck for this book. Thanks to Josh the yearbook survived. He came in and helped me redo everything in January after a major mishap. I learned one thing from this; always make back up disks. Thankfully Goodman didn't kill me this year. She has always been there. Whether she was yelling or praising, she kept me on my toes so that I got everything done. We know that if I would have kept things simple and read directions that we could have avoided a lot of this mess. Thanks for putting up with me. Matt tolerated me working on yearbook stuff during newspaper hour. Although he complained he usually let me work. He even helped edit stuff. We've had to live through late nights at school and computer crashes. Barth and I went to camp and ended up on the magazine staff. Getting back to the dorm at three in the morning and then getting up at six must have done us some good. Barth turned out to be a pretty good staffer. Mindi came in and wrote that graduation story the day after commencement. She even helped me alphabetize the mug photos when no one else would. She is one of a kind. Thanks to Ricky, Abby, Natalie, and everyone else who went the extra mile to get the book done. You guys were great. I would also like to thank those of you who are taking the time to read this. Well, it's been a memorable year. I wish the class of '99 nothing but success. I won't say good-bye, just see you later. - Messy Mickey I _(refs / Closing I Co-Editors: Michaela Konger & Laura Herrick Student Life Editors: Janelle Walters & Lynsi Brooks Organization Editors: Amy Doty & Daniell Birchard Fine Arts Editor: Ricky Prosolow People/ Academics Editor: Lori McVey Senior Section Editor: Mindi Richardson & Kami Hammond Sports Editors: Hope Redmond & Lynsie Nelson Photography Director: Jennifer Sharp Ad Women: Jamie Barth & Jamie Kennedy Index: Katie Dunlap & Jill Wallace Current Events: Natalie Biede Adviser: Deb Goodman Reporters & Photographers: JodiAchenbaugh,Rachael Andrews, Amber Baker, Chad Boyer, Capri Brown, Niki Brown, Crystal Dirks, Eric Erskins, Stephanie Ferris, Nicole Fichter, Sara Foster, Andrea Hall, Michelle Jones, Loni Koopmeiners, Sasha Miller, Becky Navarrete, Kim Orand, Olivia Perez, David Reynolds, Trisha Richardson, Autumn Rockwell, Stephanie Simpson, Abby Veydt & Jamie Zarek. Well, it's finally here. The last photo has been printed and the last deadline has been sent. It's hard to believe that everything we have worked for in the last four years is finally over. There are many people that I want to thank. First of all, the editors. Janelle, Lynsi, Amy, Daniell, Ricky, Lori, Mindi, Kami, Hope, Lynsie, Jennifer, Jamie, Jamie, Katie, Jill and Natalie. You guys have done more than I can ever thank you for. I do realize all the time that you spent working and all of the things that you gave up for the book. It has not gone unnoticed. Second, thanks to Goodman. We've known each other for four years. You've taught me so much and I can not think of any way to thank you enough. Oh yeah, I'm still sorry about the rubber cement. Also, thanks to all of the reporters and photographers. It has been an honor to work with you and get to know each of you. Thanks for all of the running to get quotes, stats and everything else. You're the best. Don't worry Idiot #1 , I didn't forget you. Thanks for everything. Without you there would be no book. It's finally time to reclaim our souls from Goodman. It's been an interesting year. Between the computer crashes, late nights and stress headaches we accomplished more than ever before ... we finished our book. I would also like to thank each and every one of you who bought the book and is reading this. Without you, there would be no reason to do this book. We did our best to produce something that you would enjoy and could be proud of. This was definitely a year to remember, thanks to everyone who was involved with the book. If I have forgotten anyone, I apologize and thank you. You also were a vital part to this world of insanity. Good luck to the class of '99. I will not say good-bye since I cry through everyone of those. I'll just say adios for now. - Laura Herrick Highlights: Porn pon and cheerleaders have members chosen to receive All-American and All-Star honors. After school activities are offered.

They could also agree that this was the best winter season the boys swim team has had in fifteen years. withe Taking one last breath Amanda English '99 finished her 500-meter freestyle. When the Kirn pool broke during the fall season, the girls swim team had to practice with their cross-town rivals Lewis Central. This caused them to practice harder because their competition was right beside them, but some girls thought there were draw backs. "I think we could have done better if we practiced in our own pool because we would have had more space;' Amanda English '99 said. "And we had to leave practice early because there was another team that practiced as soon as we were done:' Sharing a pool meant cramming the whole girls team of twenty-four into four or five lanes. They had outstanding fall season, however, keeping the city title after beating the L.C. girls team. ;s Sports•Mike Argotsinger After doing a turn Jill Bryson '00 got ready to finish the butterfly leg of the 200-meter medley relay. Bryson was one of the top swimmers, but she couldn't swim in the winter season due to an injury. "I wish I could have participated in the second season," Bryson said. "But I had to have surgery done on my arm." Not only was Bryson plagued with injury, but several other injuries brought the whole team down during the winter season.

Most students envisioned their senior year as a time to cut back, slack off and enjoy their last months of dependence. Nevertheless, what some believed to be a time of fun was also filled with the stress of choosing and applying to the right college. "Getting your application, transcripts, ACT scores and everything sent could be annoying," Marlina Howe '99 said. "The hardest part about applying was writing about yourself." Pens in hand, thousands of seniors gazed over college applications, flyers, and letters saying a particular college was "the one." Coming to the ultimate conclusion whether a school was right or not, however, was decided by the individual. "I applied to the University of Iowa, University of Nebraska at Lincoln, Northwest Missouri State, and Hastings," Kala Ginn '99 said. "I choose Iowa because it was topranked in the nation for broadcast journalism. I also liked Lincoln because they had a good journalism department and I knew the city really well." Not only did students have to decide what schools they wanted to apply too, but they also had to decide how many applications to fill out. Some did not want to take the risk of applying to only one Glancing through a college information book, Brandy Mefferd '99 was able to learn about a college's statistics, ranking and size.

"I applied to more than one school because I didn't know if I would be accepted to tt1e schools I chose," Chad Breckenridge '99 said. "I figured two for two was better than two to one." While the senior year was not entirely what some expected it to be, it all worked out in the end. Applying to college may have taken time or some extra stress, but it was worth it for all the future adventure and fun. 92 People •Kathleen Snodgrass ------ Micah Alitz Brian Allen Matt Atherton Dustin Ausdemore Mindi Avis Aaron Ballenger Adam Barrett Nicholas Batt Robert Batt Jeremy Behrens Tony Belt Marissa Birchard Jamie Black Erin Beckert Nicole Bomgaars Mikala Boze Mike Boze Ryan Bramman Roger Brannan Chad Breckenridge Beth Brown Laurie Brown Steve Brown Gregory Butts Garrett Campbell Glen Campbell Karen Cavall aro Brandi Chew Christina Christenson Amy Clark Lau ra Clark Sarah Clark Brandon Clemsen Christopher Coelho Ololade Coker Jeffrey Collier Ab raham Colpitts Shane Conaway Kristin Cooper Joshua Craft Holly Croson Erin Daley Mary Daley Susan Daub Alanah Davis Abbey Dawson Nichola Day Jay Dilts Nichole Dixon Michael Duncan Ngoc Duong Kristin Eicher Josh Ely Elijah Emery Mary Engelkes Amanda English Seniors 9'} Amy Erwin Jacob Eyeberg Timothy Fairman Alesha Farrel Brian Faurot Connie Fehr David Fell Kimberly Ferguson Nicole Foote Benjamin Franks Angela French Eduardo Garcia Amy Gardner Michaela Ginn Lynn Gittins Josh Goldapp Molly Gordon Megan Gray Heather Green Hilda Gregg Jenifer Grego Heidi Griffis Karen Grimsley Elizabeth Guest Alex Gum Joshua Hale Ashley Hall Brian Hall Amanda Hamilton Brian Hamilton Rachel Hamilton Brad Hansen Raechel Hanson Paul Harding Kevin Harter Nichole Hatcher Hanna Haynie Meleah Hicks James Hill Jeff Hill Michelle Hodapp Amber Hodge Melissa Hough Sarah Hough Kelton Houts Marlina Howe Sarah Huckins Amanda Hunt Kristin Hunter Maja lbrahimbegovic Angela Jackson Jennifer Jackson Joshua Jensen Alice Johnson Summer Johnson Thomas Johnson 94 People •Amy Erwin About to enter the Adult Emporium, Steve Underwood '99 glances at the "18-only" sign.

"I can do a lot more stuff on my own like apply for a credit card," Heather Green '99 said. Along with the benefits of credit cards, some thought the age of 18 would change things at home. "Freedom. My parents will treat me more like an adult," Karen Grimsley '99 said. Privileges weren't only found at home, but also in the poll booths.

"I used to think it was cool but I think that they took it too far with the spray paint this year." Although some people were shocked to see our school vandalized at the hands of our city rival, to most people this was nothing new. Some said the rivalry between AL and Tee Jay had been around for as long as they could remember. "We used to have an old cannon on top of the hill and Tee Jay would go up there and throw orange paint all over it," Don Sheibler said, an AL teacher of 38 years,. "Then AL would retaliate and go get them with red and blue paint." The graffiti on our school was boarded up or painted over as soon as possible, but the rivalry between AL and Tee Jay is a tradition and there is no chance that it will be called off any time soon.

" L aura Swanson '01 Freshman 111 Remember the long, narrow hallways? Forty minute classes? The no food, gum, candy or pop rules? The three minute passing periods? Junior high, two years of you life to get out of elementary and prepare for high school. Many freshman students are glad to be out of junior high. Snickers, Starburst, Milky Way, Hostess Twinkies and Mountain Dew. The list of prohibited items from Kirn could go on. "I like high school way more than junior high," Heath Gunderson '02 said, "I like that we are allowed to eat candy and food in classes." Along with eating food in class, students are also allowed to chew gum, drink pop and carry backpacks. Carrying all of your books on you back seems to make life harder during the school day. Being able to carry all of your books with you is an advantage "I hated going to my locker during our three minute passing period," Andrew Batt '02 said, "I was always late because I still had to talk to my friends." 118 People •Janelle Mohr Brian Erisman Mallari Evans James Falknor Jennifer Faubl Alexis Fisher Joshua Flenker Keith Foote Keith Forrester Hollie Fort Sara Foust Christopher Fowler Ashley Freeman Misti Freeman Victor Gonzalas Christina Good Charity Gouge Ryan Grandick Shannon Greenwood Beth Grego Stanley Gregory Ashley Grimm Carson Gross Arlana Gum Heath Gunderson Edward Gustin Brian Gwinner Lucas Hale Stephanie Hall Jennifer Hancock Virginia Hansen Colby Harris April Harvey Zebulon Haskins Denise Hatcher Heather Haven Tarus Hayes Jennifer Hendrick Sonja Hendrick Michelle Hein Undsey Helser Mindy Helbing Alison Henderson Amber Henfer-Wolfe Dana Hicks Jason Hlmmelsehr Melissa Hodapp Ryan Hollins Erin Hood Erica Horton Jack Hottell Jenna Hurd Alicia Iden James Jackson Steven Jacobs Carol James Joseph Jayjack Joshua Jeffries Brian Jensen Keith Johnson Justin Johnston Michael Johnston Amanda Jones Mark Jurgens Joseph Justesen Rickie Kellar Kyle Kennedy Nathan Kerkman Lucas Kern Sara Kernes Joanna Kilnoskl Austin Kissel Kelly Kissel Julie Kjeldgaard Jake Knott Rodney Koehrsen Elisha Kohl Benjamin Kuhn Andrew Kukkonen Kalub Ku nick Zachary Larsen Brianna Legge Doug Leinen Christian Lemus Adam Lewis Jennifer Liddick Sara Lingner Matt Long TravlsL ng Seth Lorenz Chris Lutz Freshman 119 12.(J Thomas Mackland Dereke Mallory Doug Malone Dustin Malone Jesse Manhart Anthony Markussen Christina Martin Josephina Martinez Nicholas McAtee Matthew McCarthy Bryan McClure Matthew McCoid Stephanie McCoid Scott McConnell Jlmm!McCoy Sarah McDermott Christian McDowell Adrienne McElderry Katie McGrath Kerry McGrath Joe McGrath Patrick McGuire Kyle McKee Bryan McKern Samuel Mclean James McMillen Joe Monell Matthew McPartland Melissa McSorley Robert Meleney Amanda Merica Brandy Meyers Severin Michalski Christopher Milner Billy Monroe Willa Moon Justin Moore Jessica Moreno Patricia Morely Aubrey Muffley Ashton Nalley Ryan Neighbors Julie Nelsen Jessica Nelson Mlkala Newkirk Huyen Nguyen Suzanne Nikkel Laura O'Brien David Ortiz Stephanie Osborn Benjamin Osborne Richard Palen Joseph Patten S.

Never \0° 0 Many students at ALHS still played with or collected toys for fun. Jarad Zimmerman '01 was brave enough to admit to playing with toys. Zimmerman's favorite toy was the ever popular GI Joe. One toy that he wanted to bring back was the old Transformers. "You're always a kid at heart," Zimmerman said. At age sixteen, he played with GI Joe's and Z-Bots. His reasons for playing with toys were boredom and when his little cousins visited he had to entertain them. Sometimes he just felt like creating new and interesting things. Some students preferred not to admit to letting their childish side out and only wanted to be known as collectors. One of them was Mary Sciortino 00'. "I collected Pez Dispensers because they're cool". Scortino said. She had been collecting them since the second or third grade and has thirty-two total. Her favorites were her Yoda and Speedy Gonzalez Pez dispensers. Brandy Mefferd '99 collected Snoopy items. Herreason behind her collection was that her Dad and her Grandpa both did truck pulls at fairs. There is no picture to go right here, but here is a caption. (Photo by Alanah Davis.) Their truck was named Snoopy and in the back of the truck was a red doghouse with Snoopy on top of it. "I've been collecting these items ever since I could remember," Mefferd said Her favorites were her Snoopy lotion dispenser and Snoopy fishing bobber. So next time you're asked whether you play with toys don't be ashamed you can be a kid anytime as long as no one is looking. 122 People • Mike Argotsinger Christi na Young David Zabel Lee Scarbourough Laura Scarpello Autumn Scheer Eric Scheid Steven Schliep Megan Schmeling Craig Schnider Amanda Schofield Megann Schultz Nicole Schulz Jeffry Schuster John Selbert Thomas Seymour Jeanette Shade Jessica Shamblen Shane Shea Amy Short Chrissy Short Michael Showers Jessica Sloup Jonathan Smay Derek Smith Justin Snyder Will Solomon Zachary Somers Bethany Spilde Jess Sprinkel Bethany Stenner Joseph Stevens Melissa Stevens Norma Stevens Alisha Stokes SaraStopak Matthew Stork Melissa Swanger Patrick Swolley Laura Teeple Amanda Terveer Dustin Thomas Scott Thomas Aaron Thompson Alicia Thompson Joshua Thompson Trevor Tletsort Lisa Tlffey Amanda Tomalr Amanda Tomich Nathan Towne Kim Anh Tran Amy Trescott Kyler Underwood Crissy Vacanti Daniel Vance Andre VanderVelde Adam Van Voltenberg Omar Vargas Kristoph e r Vroman Dylan Wade Heather Wajda Heather Walter David Walvoord Bri an Wangberg Alicia Watt Andrew Weare Caitlin Wearne Jacob Weatherill Andrew Webb Troy Weelborg Jenny Weilage Joseph Wendi Matthew West Wlllliam Whitem an Scott Wiese Kera Wilcox Kurt Wildasln John Williams St even W inger Megan Wohlers Daniel Wolfe Reb ecca Wri g ht Freshman Richard Adam Counselor Larry Argersinger PE Steve Barker Science Diane Born Business Dave Brown PE ~uth Brown Calculus, Algebra Alynn Coppock English Kristy Courter DECA Jim Cunningham Spanish Dennis Devault History Christine Fink Chemistry Patti Ford Home Ee.

Orchastra took a trip to Florida and ROTC had various competitions throughout the year. Remember the journalism trip to a convention in Washington DC?

"It was a fun experience for the officers to get to make fun of the team members,'' Drey said, "We had so many funny things happen throughout the season, that is was fun for us to do the entertainment:' The three officers asked each other questions, gave a funny response, and held up the name of a team member that that response would go with.

If you liked to write, design, or take pictures, Crimson and Blue was probably on your class schedule. The staff who composed the school yearbook was made up of students from all the grade levels. Most of them already had some experience when they fi lled out the Crimson and Blue application. "I was in Introduction to Journalism with Mr. Sharpe. I got really interested in page design and he told me that I would probably enjoy being on yearbook," Alanah Davis '99, Crimson and Blue editor in chief, said. Interests in design weren't the only motivation for filling out an application. Other students joined the Crimson and Blue staff for different reasons. "I really liked to write and I thought that it would be fun," Katie Comley '01 said. Being on yearbook had it's rewards and the staff enjoyed the results of their efforts to create a memorable yearbook. "I like seeing the finished product, because I know how much time I spent on it. It's nice to be able to reflect on the memories," Alanah Davis '99 said. In order to produce a final product, deadlines had to be met and stories had to be finished . "I liked deadlines, because they gave you a goal to work toward, but they also come at the worst times," Alanah Davis '99 said. When it came down to it, the staff had a final product to be proud of. It was nice for them to work on something that created memories for the entire school and still provided a creative outlet whatever their position may have been.

Their efforts were the most obvious during production week and worknights, which often started full of stress and ended full of laughter. "I like it when we have worknights and we can joke around with each other, because we're such good friends," Kylie Stemple '99, Echoes' feature editor said. The laughter and jokes seemed to bring the group together. Perhaps, it is the togetherness that made being around one another easier. "Interacting with all the people was the best part. It's fun not to have a lot of structure, but to still be capable of getting stuff done,'' Brady Spangenberg '00, Echoes' sports editor said. Production week was busy and full of stress, but many things got done during this week. "There was so much to do with so little time to get everything done. It ended up being all worthwhile, because once the paper was out we could sit down together and laugh about our mistakes," Erin Bockert '99, Echoes' managing editor said. Between the chaos of meeting deadlines and the jokes about their mistakes, it can be recognized that the Echoes staff is one that worked well together. Being able to appreciate the final product made their efforts seem worthwhile.

She had to check and make sure it was ready for the editor (to put on the final AL Insider tape.) "Being a reporter meant going out and interviewing," said French "And interviewing was so much fun because you got to meet new people at school." Going out and getting interviews on tape was a major part of AL Insider. The interviews that the reporters got were aired across the school and needed to be the best. (Photo by Joshua Hale.)

"It's hard to decide what my favorite thing about Good Morning AL was;' said Clark, "I think it would have to be seeing the finished stories. " The show aired every week, and it brought AL students the stories of events and activities going on in the school. It also gave students a welcomed break during second period. (Photo by Amy Nissen.) Pages of the past As she paged through a past AL Insider class book, Amy McKee '00 stopped to examine one of the pages. Each year AL Insider made a class book for the seniors to remember the staff. "The senior's books were fun to look through," McKee said "I liked to see what went on during past years of Insider." Each book was put together by the juniors for the seniors. The books were anticipated all year long.

During that visit, the French club made a seven day stop in Paris, France. Chris Tovera '99 noticed a sidewalk artist, so he got his portrait done even though the artist was not so famous. "The portrait didn't even look like me,"Tovera said. "So if I go back, I hope to get another one that will somewhat resemble me. It was a great vacation and I hope to go back:' Not only did the French club visit Paris, but they also toured famous places all over France such as the French Alps and the Arc de Triomphe.

There is litte you haven't tried, Yet in your spills, little you've cried. You have been a wonderful but expensive son, From all your E.R. visits to Mercy & Jennie Edmundson. With having your first stitches at eighteen months old, We knew you were going to cost your weight in gold. When you were five & broke your right collar bone, You were not even in a war zone. In all your spills and thrills you've had no fear, You wouldn't even wear your helmet and gear. So when you were on your bike and hit by a car, Fortunately you didn't even get a scratch or scar. At least you made it past the age of three, Before you shot the B.B. in above your left knee. It seemed to be your personal goal not to be bored, As long as you could crash your roller blades and skateboard. And when the paint ball pellet hit you in the jugular, It didn't stop you from being a struggler. In off campus P.E. when you broke your right hand bowling, You taught yourself to use the other hand & kept on strolling You have given us many a scare, It's no wonder we both have grey hair. Continue to dream big and aim high, But work hard so those dreams don't pass you by. Be happy and safe in all you do, For you're our son and we love you. You're no longer a baby, that makes us a little sad, But congratulations senior, love Mom and Dad. 3 months old 6 months old Mike, Dan Solon and Ben Pahl '99 Ads 16, li ~ 3ll ! 164 Community WaHu '!!Hne r ·- Kathleen Snodqrass washinUIOn Class of 1993 Abraham Lincoln Class of 1999 .

We're taking this moment to tell you we're proud, You're our special brother who stands out in a crowd. From a really cool guy to a ornery little tike, You have sure read1ed your goal to ' be like Mike'. Maybe not by a diamond-filled championship ring, But your ability and courage to do the right thing. The character, in tergti ty, and respect you both hold, All powerful traits, worth so much more than gold. Even MJ would agree though, lifes not always sweet, And tha tS one strong argument you cannot quite defeat. You've probably forgotten some of what you've done, So we'll trigger your memory, one by one. I'm sure Becky will forgive you for her emotional scar, When you named her accomplice to paint the house with tar. And Krissa now appreciates your yearning for knowledge, When you smashed her calculator she needed for college. When you were three, you took your goose for a walk, And unfortunately for that pet, it was unable to talk. You tied a tight rope around that poor gooses head, And when you returned, you guessed it, he was dead. The emergency-room staff once knew you by name, But with all those casts & Band-A.ids, doctors wanted to blame. 'ltS the parents; they thought, th.ier reasoning was deductive, Then they realized you were born naturally self-destructive. You sang Kokomo loud-and-dear in your shower, And on game days in Lincoln yelled out ' Husker Power" You gulp milk from the jug, you put holes inthe wall, You ate through your playpen, and were born to play ball. Dave Drennen Class of 19 73 Maresy, You've always been a blessing and a challenge. You made tough decisions and followed through. We're so proud of you and we'll be there to celebrate when you graduate from college. Love, Mom and Dad You'll take in all pets, you wake up at dawn, From the time you could walk you would help mow U1 e lawn. But driving experience from that hefty john Deere, You wouldn't think you would wreck a brand-new Cavalier. You have given us so mucl1 these past 18 years, Through game-wins much joy, through fighting many tears, And we only hope someday if we have little tikes, They lvill greatly admire and want to be like you, Mike.

We have accomplished a goal and we are all still alive despite the death threats from Ms. Graham. (Just Kidding.) We've survived the greatest fight of all. (Remember that one worknight.) We have recieved our proofs. (6 months later.) Through it all, we have learned a little about everyone: who can paint nails the best (Liz); who is inseparable (Emily and Sarah, Laura and Amy, Heather and Amy); and who could take a bathroom trip for 20 minutes (Claire and Katie.) Then there is J.D. who I think managed to have been yelled at by everyone on staff at least once in one class period, except for me. Sorry, J.D. I'm sure they all would like to apologize. I would like to thank everyone for sticking with me all year long, we have created a book that will not be forgotten. On the way to Missouri for NSPA camp, Dana Pinkelman, Alanah Davis and Mike Argotsinger smile for the camera. Five staff members spent four days at camp learning new yearbook techniques. Taking advantage of a good photo opportunity, everyone gathers around Ms. Graham for a picture. The four journalism staffs went to Washington D.C. for a five day convention.
