" (photo by Katie Fischer) By Rob Fritzsche Hello and welcome to the "Under Construction" yearbook. Why "Under Construction," you may ask Well, in many ways we are all "under construction" in a sen se. We go through changes that alter who we are and how we think about the world. We aren't the same people we wer e a s freshmen wh en we en ter senior year. We make mistakes and learn from them, constructing a b etter person. Our Lady Peace put it best in the song "In Repair" off its "Spiritual Machines" album: "I know that I'll be lost but we're always in repair." We are constantly tearing out bad habits and bad hairstyles from who we are because we are trying to make the best person that we can as a whole. Our school also happens to he u nder construction. The new media center was open ed up to the elementary students with proposed addition s to the high school wing. Yeah , many of us grip ed about it but everyone likes new things: n ew c la ssrooms, new books and new classes. Th ere is just s omething about seein g something for th first time; it just seems that you have found a n ew cool thing to do. New students are also interesti ng b ecause they bring new life to ou r halls, which are filled with people we have known since kind ergarten. It works th e s am for people. Maybe your little brother or sister finally grows out of that annoying habit of letting the dog ch ew on your clothes. Maybe your frien d finally got rid of the odd girlfriend or boyfriend you didn't have the heart to tell them wa s wrong for them . Change is a good thing. Sometimes we have b een allowed to get into little niches in life and we n eed a good sh ake-up. So what is it all a bout? I h ope you think that this is a clever little way to tie what goes on outside the school building wilh what goes on inside each of u s. Kind of nifty when you think abou t it.

The water guns were collected , colorful water balloons were filled to the rim, and extra buckets of muddy water were stored away for an extra weapon and element of surprise. The boys built a fort, hoping to protect themselves from the wrath of the girls. "We (the boys) had this muddy, most foul-smelling water ever, and I got Erin McNeal really good," said senior Brandon Swanson. The heavy, and apparently hurtful, water balloon s created welts on some unlucky students. Despite the swells and welts, the waterfight made for an excellen t end-of-the-year activity.

If you are one of the 13 members of the Class of2003 pictured on this page, you have endured much more than bugs, fi lth and an occasional tribal council vote. And you endured it fo r two full school years, not just fo r a few weeks. The end result of "Survivor: Room 102" lies in your hands. Well , the yearbook from your second year in the program does anyway. I'm sure the 2002 book is stored safely away somewhere, along with every issue of the Acc ipiter. If you look through those publications at the bylines and photo credits, you might noti ce the names of some people you graduated with (and some people you would have graduated with if they'd stayed at St. Albert) who are not pictured on th is page. A whole lot of such names as a matter of fact, si nce when fall semester 2001 began, there were more juniors enrolled in Journalism 1 than at any other time in the five years I have taught here: a total of 29.

You survived a week of journalism camp where, if you were a girl, you were assigned to a room of complete strangers, making the room with "The Simpsons" and the singi ng almost a desirable place to visit.

Old friendships have changed, b een stren gthen ed further or tom down in favor of n ew ones. This is not the same St. Albert that started on the first day of school. Maybe your own ideas on life h ave b een under construction. What wa s cool last year m ay not b e cool now. The weird thing about the "Under Construction" idea is that the construction n ever really stops. Sure, we eventu ally move on to college and the job world , but we n ever truly stop changing int a n ew and dynamic p erson. Tha t sounds r eally scary, I know, bu t actu ally it is proba bly one of the coolest things about b eing people , the ability to change and grow. Some of you, su ch a s the seniors, are h eading out into the world soon er than others. Some of you ' are sticking around to continue making the person you are right here a t s chool. More people you've n ever met will come into your life and h elp with th making of the person you are con structing. Have fu n finding the person you were meant to b e.

You begin high school ever so slowly, as to not ruin or confuse that set of friends as everything else around you changes before your eyes! Then before you know it, your old friends moved on, and you suddenly have new friends, older friends! You never thought they would be your friends. Your world is changing and you can't stop all the twis in it! Before you know it your life is completely different and you're saying to yourself, "I never saw that coming!"

Boyfriends, however, were a little harder to come by so dressing like boys had to suffice. We girls went out, from getting the "cool" guy clothes to making our eyebrows bushy, to even smelling like a guy. The girls, or guys depend- ·ng how you look at it, proceeded to go to the mall, Taco Bell, the girls' basketball game, and to an unsuspecting friend's house. Many double takes were taken, and some desperate girls even checked us out! All in alJ, it was a very memorable Valentine's to say the least. \ works on his Accounting, on e of m any Bu siness classes offered. (photo by B eth looks over papers for Mrs. Nancy Schall es.

I decided to go with black pants, black sandals, and a white, pink and black striped strapless top. Quite cute, I thought. After I was finished getting ready, I met a group of people and my lovely date, Shawn Moran '(i)5, at Alex Sawatzke's '05 house. We all took pictures and went to Hooter's for dinner. I got chicken strips, yum yum. We told the waitresses that it was Alex's birthday as a joke. They made him wear a dress and hat, with a hot dog in his mouth, and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him. After we finished eating, we got to the dance about 9:45, and it was party ~ime! I tJ1ought the DJ was really good and everyone looked like they were hmring a good time. The DJ played all the new and old songs we listen to. "YMCA" and "Cha Cha Slide" are always fun. Everyone there wanted to be thel'e and dance, which made it a lot more fun. After a lot of jumping, sliding, dancing and sweating (in Alex's case), the dance was over. We headed back to Alex's house to hang out. On the way home, my night went out with a big bang. I hit a deer! That wasn't fun, but everything before that was a great time, and I'm glad I went. -Ashley Petersen '05 the winter dance.

I learn my lines easily and can't wait for the practices. I guess I dido 't look Hispanic enough so they change my name to Kevin, which I prefer because when you say Rico you think of Suave and that horrible music starts to play. With all of the practice, we become better and better. The day of the performance I can hardly contain myself I'm so nervous. All of the "what ifs" are running through my head. Joe Reilly '04 teaches me some things I can do to calm my nerves. "Relax your shoulders, move your head around and stretch toward the sky ," Joe says. I must say it did work. I'm ready to go onstage. Right when I walk in, I'm fine. The nerves are gone and, sure enough, we all put on a wonderful performance. It pays off. We're on to state! - Jeremy Clouse '06 like to marry som eone you hate?

(photo by Sarah Hamling) senior mess dinner from Mr. Brian Osborne, president. Swa rtz retired after 28 years a t St. Albert. (photo by Jonathan Kramer) Never saw it comin'! The 2003-04 school year is winding down. It was a year of excellence a ll 'around, but a year of events that we n ever saw coming. The Falcons fell short in the championship game. The dance team upset rival Bishop Garrigan in win ning both pom and jazz. B.J. Olberding '04, the reigning 152 state champion, was beat out in the first roun d in the state tourney. The One-Act play made it to sta te but fell short of being invited to go to All-State again. The World Mission was contin ued by new Campus Minister Mrs. Donna Riedl an d took twi ce as many donations down to St. Lucia as ever before. The swing choir went to contest under the d irection of thirdyear tea cher Mr. Lee Spann and brought home a Division I rating. And what about th at annual senior waterfight? Oh yeah , it h asn't happened qu ite yet. Then graduation came. A day of mixed emotions. Graduation is a time to be happy, which l was, b ut it's sad seeing a chapter in our lives close. It's hard to b elieve that my St. Albert life is behind me. It's been my second home. It's a time to have fun and enjoy life before you have to adventure out in to the real world. It's the day after graduation. I'm sitting in the journal ism room. Sophomor es and juniors ar e busy cleaning up p ages. Hope everyone enjoys the book. It's different, but th a t's my class for you . To th e remainin g J-2 staff and J-1 staff, good luck next year. Have fun with Larsen, an d eat lots and lots of doughnut Larsen, don't lose your head an d you're the b est. To the underclassmen, have fun. Enjoy the next few years of high school. Do things you never would have before. Take the time to do your work beca use you'll regret it wh en you're trying to get into the college of your dream. To the u nderclassmen ,who I call friends, have fun in Fr. Phil Hobt's room, work th e nmvies to death, have fun settin g up for the dances, be on time for the blood drive, anxiously wait for Ms. Tarra Beyer's ch eesecake, h ave fun a t Prom, and listen to what Ms. Trudy Finnegan h as to say! But back to the class of 2004. We've been together for years. We've laughed, cried and had many teachers go bye-bye. We've been terrors and got a marble jar thrown at us. We had to write apology letters in third grade to Mrs. Damgaard. We went to Tish's and the park. We said goodbye to many friends throughout the years, but gained more than a handful, too. BUMS?!? Where's the bums? Movie nights in junior high or late nights walking in the Old Market with Eric Murphy '04 with a skirt on. The fun-filled time eating ice cream with Wally or drinking coffee at the various coffee shops we stopped at. Driving to Prom was always fun. We knew how to show up in style! Or .even the simple nights of watching the stars or playing games up at Old Kirn Field were always fun. Oh, and I can't forget Mrs. Caroline Swartz's unique, fun and sleepy Cale class. We have been looked down up on because we lie in between the Classes of 2003 and 2005. All in all, it has been a wonderful 14 years. It's now time to go our separate ways, which we never did think would actually happen, but now it has. Good luck to my fellow friends and classmates. It has been a wonderful ride. I love you!

A chronological yearbook. OK, I guess I'll write a chronological ad. I dido 't write down the dates as it was happening, so I'll just be kind of general. As I recall, what would become the J-2 seniors of the Class of 2004 got their start as the 2002-03 school year was beginning ... Adviser gets Journalism 1 class lists. Is dismayed to see only six juniors, four sophomores and one senior. Four juniors include Whatever happened to Steve and Melissa? Adviser discovers future yearbook editor and assistant had signed up for class, but it didn 't fit their schedules. Immediately creates two independent study sections of J-1. Recruiting at Stu Co sleepover and in Am Lit adds assortment of juniors, including 1 Final piece of puzzle falls into place when 13th junior who will actually complete two years in program asks adviser whether he can just write stories for newspaper and not take class. Adviser firmly says no, expects never to see student again. Student shows up in J-1 the next day. Junior year continues for Class of2004. Semester break sees major exodus of J-1 juniors. Goodbye, Jake, Dan, Paul, Katie L. Goodbye, Lexie. Welcome back, Lexie. At end of spring semester, goodbye again, Lexie. Summer. Norman. Weren't more people supposed to take baseball and softball pies? 2003-04 school year begins. Early outs for the heat mean lots of afternoon time to work on first issue of newspaper. That's good because plan to print extra-sized issues off-site means much earlier deadlines. Look of extra-sized issues not worth cost or change in deadlines. It's tabloid-style for newspaper rest of the year, starting with magazine-format Issue 2 that gets finished at I :50 a.m. the day of publication. Creighton Journalism day. Ess Ay Jay-Too T-shirts much classier than showing photo of adviser's head. Microwa,ve and fridge are joined by couch. Nice rewards for hard work or unfortunate distractions? Maybe both. Time to work on yearbook. Calendar format means extra problems, but photo placing software solution is just around the corner. Or not. First yearbook deadlines met without photo software. Solution never discussed again. More good newspapers, more intense yearbook deadlines. Adviser reminded of why he calls this his best J-2 staff ever. (No, Joe, he doesn't say that every year.) Valentine's Week all-nighter produces even bigger magazine-format newspaper and lots of tired staffers for Friday classes. Where have all the department heads gone? Oh, they 're in St. Lucia. School resumes after spring break (for some seniors, a day later than for others). Adviser grows less impressed with performance on remaining yearbook deadlines, promises he' ll go back to remembering the good times after he's done being mad. Seniors go away. Adviser done being mad. Proofs for final 92 pages of book due. Adviser sits at computer I une 11 finishing this ad. Realizes deadline prevents him from discussing what happens rest of summer, so decides to speculate. (Speculation is what follows.) People eventually start taking photos. Summer supplement is put together, though postseason succe of baseball and softball teams pushes back completion. (Hey, this is my speculation.) School resumes. Adviser misses Class of2004. A lot. Yearbooks arrive. Editor rushes back from college, yells at adviser for forgetting to build this ad sideways. Adviser says to editor: "Yeah, but you NEVER SAW IT CO MIN' !"

Whether it is an argument or an explanantion, people always say to listen to both sides. That is the same with this past school year. Whether in the classroom, on the playing field, or even out on the town, there are two sides to every story. Even each person has two different sides to their personality; to what makes them who they are. Especially the Class of 2005. More often than not, our class was seen as the "goody-goodies," the ones who will not get in trouble, and always do their work. Well, we are focused, but we also know how to have fun, in our Freedom time. 2A Op e ni ng Being focused is the first part of the story.

How we are involved, what we do, and why it affects us. We are focused in our classes using our Brains, we are focused on the field as Athletes, and we are focused in our organizations, Involvement. I cannot even count how many times I heard "please focus" in class, or "you're not focusing!" on the field. It is hard for anyone to focus on something they do not desire. Which is why this year came as a huge surprise. From the start, we were all focused. School was not as easy to focus on, but we managed. The success of the very well-focused football team led the school and city to its first-ever football state championship. The dance team has always been focused, but this year they reached a new height bringing home all three first-place trophies. Being focused means knowing what you want, and going for it. It means not being afraid to take new chances and daring to dream. Being focused means being who you are and loving every minute of it. This year was a year we saw how being focused could change the future and we were able to grab hold of that and take it for all it could be. So, to the teachers, faculty, students, graduates, mY fellow classmates, here's to the focus we pulled together, and to the future we are ma Cara Loveya, Cool ~ Yearbook Edito team's focus.

In Brit Lit I learned about alliterations, sonnets, read Shakespeare and other British authors, all the while enjoying Mrs. Idella Spann's quirky sense of humor. I was lucky and was able to learn from a great teacher in two classes, the other being Creative Writing. My favorite project was when we got to make our "mushy" valentine love poem. Who knew cliches could be so fun? Some people think that when you're a senior you should take easy classes, but I'm glad I didn't do that. If you don't want to learn anything, it is easy to achieve that, but you also don't experience anything, and that is a big part of being a senior. I learned many things, and really enjoyed my senior year. Along with making great memories with my friends, I had some good experiences at school to make my final year really worthwhile. - senior Kyla Kenkel •••••••••••••• • Mrs. Barb Schmidt helps CJ.

In one respect, they're right, it IS just a high school newspaper. But in every other way, they're dead wr~ng. For me, working on the newspaper was an obvious choice. I want to be a journalist when I grow up. What better way to see what I was made of than to be a part of the journalism staff? I learned how to build and design pages. Catie (O'Malley) and I are the headline and caption queens. As assistant editor, I had to work on the paper late nights and long hours. One of the perks, though, was using my trademark blue pen to tear up the unsuspecting J-1 's rough drafts. Hey, I never said I was nice. I learned how to be a leader, how to handle a crisis, and how to be confident in my decisions. I will miss all of the people I got to work with, and I will especially miss journalism.

All of us were overwhelmed by the load of papers and numbers of trees that were cut down in order for all them to all be made. Later on, we were doing labs and senior Alan Wickersham spilled a chemical all over the lab table. Mr. Randy Schmitz had to actually put on his lab coat, gloves, and goggles to clean it up, because safety comes first. In order to clean up he had to cause a reaction by using baking soda to neutralize the area where Alan had spilled. After it was all cleaned up and Mr. Schmitz had put all his supplies away, Alan spilled again. This time cleaning it up was on his own with the technique he had learned by watching Mr. Schmitz.

But every year, there is one class I looked forward to taking again; it is art. This is one class that was filled with good times and laughter. A relaxing time where I could enjoy drawing, painting, and listenting to music with all the students who have taken the same stepping stones as I have to reach Art 4. These seniors have piled up a lot of great memories: Aaron Romano drawing Super Mario Bros. or some cartoon, Phil Koch always making Ms. Deb McGuire's day that much more of a task, Marty Burke sitting in the window drawing me a picture, Lindsay Schnitker always asking, "Bom, will you help me draw this?", Brandon Fischer and his obsession with tractors and cows, Emily Propst showing me up with her fun and creative ideas, Danielle Grudle alwaY5 striving for perfection, Danielle Pogge and her amazing paintings, Betsey Mooney's colorful creativity and of course, Ms. McGuire's care and guidance. These are just a few of the things I will never forget. Art is a time to really find true character in yourself and in others.

It should have been filled with joy, excitement, and easy classes, so what was I doing in Calculus? Sometimes, I still ask myself this question. As I took my seat in the Mr. Robinson Luke's frigid classroom, I froze not only from the cold seat, but also from the fear of the unknown. I mean, this was Calculus. Why did I put this class on my schedule? Did I have a death wish? I'll blame it on temporary insanity. However, my fears melted away when Mr. Luke enthusiasticly bounced into the room with a smile on his face. After the first week of Cale, it became my favorite class. Yeah, the work was hard and the concepts were confusing, but Mr. Luke made everything fun, and even better, not impassible. Mr. Luke taught me about limits, derivatives, and chain rule, but more impartantly, he taught me how to enioy mY5elf, even if I was in Calculus class. My best memory isn't learning a difficult math problem or even acing a test, but it was listening to Mr. Luke's stories and getting to know him and my classmates better. I learned about his van's sound system, Thanksgiving traditions, and first job experience. I was lucky to have Mr. Luke for Calculus because of his great teaching skills, but also because of his interesting personality. - senior Abby Jares Mr. Robinson Luke teaches derivatives to his Calculus students.

I have not only improved myself vocally, but I have also learned an important concept. I have learned how to be a part of a team. You might ask, "Why is choir a team?" The reason is because the people within it work together to achieve a goal. For example, I have learned that voices in a choir should blend together into one voice. This can only occur if everyone contributes and works together. If a person is removed, so is some of the sound. One person cannot make a choir; it takes many people to form a choir. Every person in choir has had a privilege to be a part of something great this year. We have all come together to form the best choir that I have been a part of thus far. We have improved in the past few years, and I am sure that we will continue to do so in the future. - junior Ross Caniglia ---------------------- ..... Senior Luke Shanno loves to toot his own horn.

I was blessed to have two classes with Mr. Easterling: World History and Economics. In World History, it was my first time in Mr. Easterling's class. Being a scared sophomore, I was still worried about my GPA. Therefore, I was highly attentive and did all my homework. By having World History for a full year, I learned how his classes worked and took my newly attained knowledge to Economics. In Econ, I secretly knew that Mr. Easterling wasn't as tough as he tried to make everyone think. He actually had a (gasp) kind side. I learned in Econ that you either understand it or you do not. Unfortunately for me, I did not understand it. However, Mr. Easterling was alwaY5 there to help me, which happened to be a lot. I was in there after school so much that it began to feel like my second home. However, I managed to survive both World History and Econ with a "B" average. Besides just learning about Rome and surpluses, there are things I will never forget about his class. I will never forget how he let Emily Propst hit him with a role of Scotch tape, or how he tried so hard not to smile and act tough, and of course, I will never forget all the valuable material we discussed in class. - senior Jessica Goeser By : Abby Jares Mr. Drew Kruzich helps freshman Carly Pfeffer by filling in the assignments she will miss.

(photo by Jen Anderson} RELIGION/ p • E • Religion is one of the required courses at school each semester, yet it is the subject that separates St. Albert from the public schools. The best part about religion, besides learning about God, is making group videos. I will always remember the Passion of Christ in New Testament and the historical videos in Church HistorY. Throughout high school it seems like religion teachers come and go more than any other subject. Still, Fr. Phil Hobt and Mr. Tom Heithoff have been teaching religion at St. Albert for as long as I can remember, and their classes are enjoyable year after year because of the variety of group work we do. Besides doing group videos, there is also group discussion, speeches, presentations, and posters. Now that my Catholic education is over, I will look back at what I have learned in religion at St. Albert. - senior Jonathan Kramer Junior Matt Herrington goes up and asks Mr. Michael Sullivan for help on a test in Prayer and Liturgy.

(photo by Steve Theu/en) In April 2003, when my wife and I were living in Melrose, Mass., iust outside Boston, she finished her dodorate in theology and accepted a tenure-track position at Creighton University. I accepted this development with bittersweet feelings, as I wanted her to be able to follow her dream, but I also wanted to stay at Austin Preparatol'Y School in Reading, Mass., where I had taught during our years in the Boston area and where I had tenure as a history teacher. We moved to Omaha in July 2003. The first year here I substituted at some schools in Omaha and looked for a high school teaching position. Since I am certified in history, I looked for a history slot. That did not open up for me. As the By: Steve Theulen next school year approached, I experienced a sort of "dark night of the soul," in which I felt old and unemployable. Then I saw an advertisement for a religion teacher at St. Albert Jr./Sr. High School in Council Bluffs. I received an invitation to interview, and a few days later Mrs. Andersen called to offer me theiob. I had never experted to move back to the Midwest. I had never experted to have such a hard time finding a teaching position. I had never experted to teach religion. I found through this experience that God speaks in enigmatic ways, but I feel His love for me in direding me to this wonderful place. Indeed, it is a school where the students are friendly and hilarious, where the teachers are welcoming and helpful, and where the administration is supportive of the contributions I can make to the school community. This was certainly God's will for me, and I thank Him for it. - Mr. Michael Sullivan Sullivan teaches eighth-grade religion.

As they acted and reacted, so did the rest of the school. These seniors were best known because they could get together and function as a group. The State Championship football was one example; World Mission was another. Nobody wanted to mess up, because no one wanted to miss a game. Most of my study halls started with large groups, but after the first day of hearing Mr. Vogel's "Guides to Happiness in the Cafeteria," as a group, a lot of them left and took real classes, except for a few stragglers. I also had some new duties this year, like the lunch money and expanded attendance duties. The seniors helped me by mainly making the study halls easy to control. These seniors were known for volunteering to wander the halls and visit people for verY strange reasons. I am only glad I had the opportunity to deny them so many of these visits. - Mr. Tim Vogel Senior Shawn Moran proudly receives his diploma at graduation.

However, for the ones who see extracurriculars as a positive place to spend time, St. Albert has some of the finest. The NHS always grabs attention with the ceremony they put on to indud new members of service, charader, scholarship, and leadership. The Student Council is always throwing out new and fun ideas for our school. And as always campus/peer ministry does a wonderful job of making Mass an exciting place and happening event for the school. The different clubs and extras St. Albert has offer strong opportunities for students to focus on being involved in school and the future. - senior Cara Cool on Senior Jonathan Kramer escorts sophomore Katie Gilliand at the NHS induction.

(photo by Abby Jares) The year that was Student Council, the council nm by the students, imagine that. This year, the Student Council accomplished a lot of things, from all of the dances to Homecomfog Week, Red Ribbon Week and Catholic Schools Week. We donated money for the new painting in the gym and the new atrium planter dirt for the biology department. We sold bracelets in honor of Alex Morrow to give to the Class of2013 Scholarship Fund. It was a fun filled year that I will never forget. I couldn 't have done it without the rest of the St11dent Body, Kristin, Steve, Bra11don and Gina . Everyone was dedicated to working hard, coming early for meetings, most of the time, even if it was just for the doughnuts. Ms. Mooney and Ms. Oatman took the reigns of the Student Cmmcil this year and helped us along, we couldn't have done it without them. Now, as I am writing this, the day after Mr. SA, I know that we pulled off another great even, even if things weren't looking so great. I also have come to realize that Mr. SA was that last event that the council was in charge of. Part of me is relieved that it is almost over, it has been a busy year, but the other part is saddened, because never again will this same group of leaders be gathered in one group to pull off another Mr. SA, or another Homecoming Pep Rally. Hopefully everyone enjoyed this year as much as I did, even though it was a lot of work. I can't begin to thank everyone enough for all their hard work and dedication. It was a great journey.

Getting into NHS is not easy by any means. It is required to keep your GPA above 3.5, which is a little tougher with the new grading SYStem. You also have to go out into our community and work and help others around, all while participating into extracurricular activities. This was all worth is to me. I had been working towards getting on NHS since my freshman year. I was a little nervous about not getting in, but in the end, I was excited to hear that I would be inducted.

Ever since I was younger, I have alwaY5 wanted to be in Campus/Peer Ministry. There is so much to be involved in. From setting up Masses, to reading morning prayer, to having the lunch with the kindergarten through third grade, ministry at school is appealing. It is a way for me to express my faith and a way to be involved in Mass at school. Going to St. Albert has given me that advantage.

This caused for a lot of new faces on the varsity field and a lot of changes. The season was full of ups and downs. Also a lot of freshmen (recently graduated eighth.graders at the time) had to step up and take key positions in the outfield and other spots. Throughout the season a lot of positions were switched and many starters were young. The Saintes inexperience and youth sometimes showed. The beginning of the season was very rocky, but everyone always tried their best. As the season went on the Saintes' hard work showed in a couple of close games to big schools like LC. Then in the first distrid game against Underwood the Saintes lost by only three and held Underwood to zero for most of the game. Underwood then went on to state. The Saintes worked hard this season. They played with heart and built up skills for next year.

The Falcons were expeding a close game with Underwood. The rivalry game quickly turned into a spanking with SA experiencing the new continuous clock rule. This was a change to the old 50 point rule. Each game other than the finale against Riverside had continuous clock at some point in the game. SA entered the playoffs as the No. 1 team in the state in the polls. The polls didn't lie. The first two games of the playoffs were walks in the park for the Falcons. SA shut out Akron Westfield 35-0, then went on to dominate Underwood 45-14. The Falcons advanced to the Dome for a second year in a row. At the Dome, SA faced a tough AWGSR team, but Brandon Fischer ran past them, running for over 300 yards and 5 TDs.

Both teams had great seasons and really improved throughout the season. Neither team had a losing record and look to set the foundation for the future of Falcon football. Freshman Steve Nielsen said, "The A.L. game was my favorite because it was raining and it was our first shutout as freshmen." "My favorite game was Blair because we were supposed to lose but we killed them by 20 points," said freshman Steve Jensen. With two succesful teams playing hard all season it's clear there won't be a letdown in effort from the championship varsity team. These two teams played a key role in pradice against the varsity who won the 1 A State Championship, and look to carry on the Falcon football tradition in the years to come. These future Friday nighters are the building blocks to the future of Falcon football. "The future looks good for us and we want to continue the tradition of St. Albert football and be successful," said Nielsen. State Champs!

(photo by Ashley Hutcheson) 0 ALL championship wall for the first time in school history. (photo by Ky/a Kenkel) The first quarter was a defensive struggle, with neither team able to put together a sustained drive. At the beginning of the second quarter, St. Albert appeared to be gaining momentum, but things went sour. A holding penalty negated a touchdown and a fumbled snap gave the ball right back to GladbrookReinbeck. The Falcons forced a punt and started moving forward once again. On third down at the 18-yard line, senior Justin Belt gave an amazing effort to dive and catch the pass from sophomore quarterback Nolan Batten. The initial signal from the side iudge was a touchdown, but the back iudge overruled and called it an incompletion. The Falcons settled for a field goal and took a 3-0 lead. The Rebels ran back the ensuing kickoff to midfield and kicked a field goal to tie it at halftime. The defensive struggle continued into the third quarter. After G-R picked off a Batten pass, they seemed poised to score. The defense held and forced a field goal attempt, but an offsides penalty gave the Rebels a first down. G-R took the ball inside the 1-yard line, but the Falcons defense stymied two plays up the middle, and took over on downs. After the teams traded possessions to start the fourth quarter, the Falcons finally got what they were looking for. A 33-yard option play to senior Brandon Fischer with just less than four minutes left gave the Falcons the lead for good, but not without a fight. Fischer finished with 178 yards and a 1A championship game record 33 carries. G-R took the ball down to the Falcons 8-yard line with a little under a minute to go. The Rebels ran to inside the 1-yard line, and overtime appeared imminent. The Falcons defense disagreed. The Rebels tried a quarterback sneak but were short. G-R tried to line up fast and catch SA off guard, but their plan backfired. Not all their men were set, and the penalty drove the Rebels back 5 yards.

Thirty-one student athletes participated in bowling. Under a fourth-year veteran coach in Mr. Ken Mehsling, the Falcons and Saintes put together their most productive year to date. The JV girls won every duel that they bowled in, which was a great accomplishment considering this was the first year the girls were able to fill a JV roster. Mehsling is looking forward to next year already. He said, "The girls are looking forward to qualifying for state next season, and with the exception of one junior, all the Saintes are underclassmen." The varsity girls team was led by freshman Val LeMaster. The boys team recorded a three-win season, which tripled their count from the previous year. The Falcons also reached a major goal in qualifying for the state bowling tournament. The boys posted a second-place finish at the sub-state meet to punch their ticket to the state toumament. The Falcons made the most of their state tournament appearance by posting their highest total pinfall of the year. Their score led them to a 13th-place finish.

The Falcons tied for 26th at state this year, as four events qualified. The Falcons finished third four times, including districts. "It was a tough year," sophomore C.J. Gradoville said. "We ran our best and to the hardest of our ability, but it seemed they were just better." Gradoville was among the state qualifiers. Senior Brandon Fischer led the way, qualifying in the 400 and 800, and running on the 3,200 relay team that also included Gradoville, and seniors Gable Andrews and Phil Koch. Freshman Marc Baumert competed in the high jump. At state, Fischer took third in the 800 and sixth in the 400. "Although we didn't win, it was still a great season," Kruzich said.

The Falcons ended the regular season with a 9-4 record. After losing two heartbreaking games to Elkhorn Mount Michael and Skutt at the beginning of the season, the Falcons bounced back by rattling off five straight wins. The Falcons then lost a hard· fought game against the Class 1-A No. 1-ranked Glenwood Rams. The Falcons then won four of their last five games to conclude the regular season. These wins consisted of victories over Sioux City East (5-0), ADM (1-0), Tri-Center (5-0), and crosstown rival Lewis Central (3-2). Before the Lewis Central game, the Falcons lost another hard-fought game to Thomas Jefferson at City Field. Regardless of this loss, the Falcons still ended up city champions. The Falcons had some highlight games from the 2005 season. These games included hanging tough with eventual state champion Elkhorn Mount Michael and also playing a good game against No. 2-ranked Skutt. The Falcons also defeated Lewis Central and Abraham Lincoln in city play.

(photo by Steve Theu/en) On to State! The Saintes' season started with high hopes. However, with a loss to Glenwood and a dramatic double-overtime shootout loss to city rival TJ, the first two games remain a mystery. Because of what happened next ... The Saintes started rolling as they won eight of their next nine games on their march to eventually being the No. 8-ranked team in Class 1 A. During that streak, the defense posted five shutouts. The offense was led by senior Laura Bomgaars with help from fellow senior Kristin McGlade and junior Gina Assmann. The midfield proved strong, including senior Abby Jares and newcomer sophomore Mollee Collins. On the other end of the field, junior Meghan Crowley started in the goal for her third consecutive year and was aided by senior sweeper Cara Cool and senior stopper Catie O'Malley. The girls always believed in themselves, and that is what led them to the games of their lives. In the first round of districts, the Saintes flew past Riverside 6-0. They then were to face longtime rivals Glenwood. In a hectic and crazy fight through overtime, Assmann finally punched the ball in for a 3-2 victory. Never making things easy on themselves, the girls had to go into a shootout after going scoreless through two overtimes against Waukee. Behind a stellar performance from keeper Crowley and scores from Bomgaars and Collins, the Saintes won the shootout 2-1. For only the second time in school history, the Saintes reached state. A first-round loss of 6-0 to Cedar Rapids Xavier was a sad way to end, but Muscatine was the final destination. Even though state came to an abrupt end, the season was one to make a mark.

The boys team will miss its key players next year, but the Falcons look as though they will still be good. The girls won't be losing seniors, so they will all have a good start for next year's season. The boys golf team consisted of seniors Shane Bendgen, Jonathan Kramer and Luke Shanno, junior John O'Malley, and sophomores Shawn Daley and Chris McKenzie. The boys golf team had a good roll winning meets. At the L.C. Invite the boYS got in the top 10, finishing with a seventh-place medal. The girls golf team had many new members, all being underclassmen. The team included juniors Kellie McGruder and Mackenzie Schnitker. The new members were sophomores Katie Gilliland and Heather Beaman, and freshman LeMaster. The girls struggled with the loss of 2004 graduate Katie McGruder, so they were off to a slow start at the beginning. Soon they started to get closer to a first-place finish. The girls were led by Kellie McGruder in the city meet. She got eighth place with a 108. The team placed fourth during the city meet, ending the tw~year winning streak.

Sophomore Michelle Farrage received first at No. 3 singles. Seniors Kama Bergeron and Hayley O'Hara finished second at No. 1, and Beckman and Farrage got first at No. 3 doubles. The team lost a few players throughout the season but still continued to improve and win meets. Their season started with a meet won against Thomas Jefferson. The season ended at regionals in Shenandoah where Farrage placed third. The tennis team had fun riding in Coach Phyllis Damgaard's van, on the court winning or losing, and had fun at pradice.

The seniors grew close and worked well together. (photo by Abby Jares) ---------------------· The dance team has built an especially Positive reputation. For the first time in school history, the team placed three firsts at the Iowa Dance/Drill Team Compeition in December: first in Class IV Pom, first in Class II Jan, and first in Class I Novelty. Although the team seemed to be together a talented group of dancers, this team's success came from hard work, time, and dedication. Starting from the beginning of the summer, the team pradiced five daY5 a week starting at 6:30 a.m. The dance team's season lasts from June to mid March, which makes a very busy schedule for the girls. Dedication is having to be mentally tough through the whole season and loving dance with Your whole heart. "Even though our team was bigger, younger, and less experienced, we unexpededly came home from state with a triple crown!" said junior Katelyn Crouch. Although the team believed in the quote, "Work hard and good things will happen," they also strove for one thing: perfedion. Coach Kathie Guinan was there to stress that pradice does not make perfed, however, perfed pradice does make perfed. Living by this statement made pradices a heck of a lot harder. Striving for perfection meant 16 girls dancing the ex.ad same way at the ex.ad same time. As well as being talented dancers, the dance team became a strong group of friends and a strong team. Focusing on team and not individual glory has augmented the team's success. Senior Kyla Kenkel (wolf), sophomore Mary Weidman, junior Rachael Showers, and senior Catie O'Malley perform "Wolf Mix."

The cheerleading squad also does the locker signs, the run-through signs for the football team, the pep rallies, and the valentines. "Valentine's Day was fun getting everything ready and handing them out to all of the high schoolers and little kids," said freshman Danielle Cain. The cheerleaders also had the opportunity to cheer on the state championship football team, which was a great experience for them, and they led the student body well at the UNI-Dome. Senior captain Danielle Pogge said, "The Dome was awesome becuase we won and it's so much fun cheering." The cheerleading squad has expanded for a couple of months the past few years with the addition of the Stunt Men. The Stunt Men helped the cheerleaders pull off challenging stunts at the pep rally. "Stunt Men was awesome," said Pogge. The cheerleaders do a lot to make the student body better and are always doing the jobs that people overlook. They help lead the pep rallies and keep the crowd pumped up. "Cheerleading's fun and everyone should do it, .. said Cain.

As you flip through this book you can see the many differences, and the contrast of sides. However, coming to the end of this side, it is more apparent what the focused drive this year has brought. Everything in life has opposites and similarities; just as each person. So what better way to make the book than to have two sides to our story? The Focus side played out to its name, as we pushed ourselves to the limits, and broke through those boundaries. The classroom always brings forth the striving for knowledge and the yearning to learn. Athletics are an activity where people want to focus; this year, we soared to many new heights. The championship in football was an extreme success for the guys who played and also for the community around it. Many students are always involved in the school system and put their time and effort into bettering the school and year. Now that we see how being focused can lead to successful times, we hope that this year was only the beginning of great things to come. To the underclassmen, live every second of high school to the fullest moment you have here. It should be an exciting time, thrilling time, moving time. Just do not let high school run your life. Make sure you live for you and strive for the goals you desire. To the teachers, thank you. We may not have always been listening in your class, but we learned so much from you. You set examples for us and have made high school, school. To the new seniors, whom we truly call friends: Good luck! Enjoy all of the few days you have left. You have made our experiences at school more crazy because of who you are. Be good, be crazy, be excited, come to school to spend what little time you have left with one another. And finally to our fellow graduates, the class of 2005 (the greatest group of people to graduate with), we just want to say this has been the ride of a lifetime. From the little days in elementary, to the pointless days where we left school like running out the doors, to the exciting days where 22 or so of us skipped, to the day of where all our focus paid off, graduation, we have been with each other. Some have come and gone but forever have changed our lives. We have shared with each other our thoughts, dreams, tears, fears, laughs, screams, and every other emotion. Now, as we go our separate ways, we hope this book will be with you for always, just as we hope all of our memories will be in your hearts always. We thank each of you individually for being the person you are, and the person you will become. You are all truly gifts to the world. Now go, smile always, laugh often, love greatly, and live big as an example for your peers beneath you. Hope you enjoyed it, • • • • • • Cara Cool and Kyla Kenkel • • : s· : • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • u c c E E D • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 100A Oosing Yearbook Editors s K I L L Seniors Joey Knuth, Brandon Fischer, and Gable Andrews stretch before track practice.

If you have the good fortune to be a student at St. Albert Junior/Senior Catholic High School, that's one more year than it takes to complete seventh through 12th grade. If you are one of the people pictured on this page, even though you are now away (or across town) at college or out in the real world of work as you read this for the first time in the fa ll of 2005, seven years ago you had not spent so much as one day as a student on the campus at 400 Gleason. (For those of you with short memories, you were the last class to complete sixth grade at the old intermediate school on the west end of town. For those of you on this page who attended public school through sixth grade, yes, there used to be a St. Albert Intermediate School on the west end of town.) Anyway, if you are the person writing this letter, you did arrive at 400 Gleason in the fall of 1998. (Wow! Look at all the fo rmer Math Club members on this page doing the subtraction in their heads to confirm that that was seven years ago.) Which means you (me?) were already a wily veteran of the SA school system when the Class of 2005 arrived on campus all bright-eyed and eager to learn in the fa ll of 1999. And as a special t1·eat, the Class of 2005 were seventh-graders the only year 1 was assigned a seventh-grade study hall. As a result, one or two of you on this page are the only students lucky enough (?) to spend parts of fi ve of your six junior high and high school years in my classroom. By eighth grade, all of you got to spend one quarter taking Exploratory Newspaper in Room I 02. (Added bonus: That year, I started teaching eighth-grade study hall, so some of you were in the room twice a day.) And what a marve lous Exploratory year that was, as you continued to amaze me quarter after quarter with your ability, your creativity and your strong work ethic. Heck, you even invented Baloney. As I pondered your potenti al as eventual members of the high school journalism program, my heart soared. The future indeed looked bright. And t11 ere were so many of you in that eighth-grade class. How would the journalism program hold so much talent? Well, whether you were in Math Club or not, you probably can count to 14, t11e number of people pictured on this page. Eleven of the 14 are seniors who completed their second year of high school journalism in 2005 . The three others - Catie, Abby, Luke - are the first group to take Journalism 3 from me, meaning they spent three of their high school years in the program. (Coincidence that I asked the principal whether sophomores could start taking J-1 right before the Class of 2005 became sophomores? I think not.) So where's everyone else? Well, the mass exodus at the end of eighth grade to such exotic locales as Tri-Center, Duchesne and A.L. took away chunks of the talent. And some members of the Class of 2005 never quite found a way to fit the class into their schedules. Others showed up for J-1 but left after a semester or two, or even three. (Hi, Aubrey !) A special shout-out seems appropriate here for the two members of the Class of 2005 - Aaron R. and Beth - who did spend their entire sophomore and junior years in the program, and for the one member who fin ally took J-1 as a senior. (Jimmy, we could have put you to good use if you'd shown up a little sooner.) So in the end, the 14 seniors on this page (along with nine J-2 juniors) ran the show for the 10 issues of the 2004-05 Accipiter and for the two sides of this yearbook. The girl who took charge in Exploratory without an offici al leadership titl e now had one: newspaper editor. (Thanks for not moving to Texas.) The gi:I who sat way in the back corner of eighth-grade study hall , some days exulting about making dance team, other days moping about not making Student Council, now was editor of the yearbook. (Thanks for staying on top of the ball.) With plenty of help from the rest of the staff, including those boys who sang that indec ipherable song back in junior high, they managed not to fall. And I think that I will miss them.

Love, Mom, Dad, Josh, and Tyler Once you were a little girl all dressed in pink, Who used a chair to reach the sink. Then you grew up and pink was no more, Any other color is what you wore. Friends, movies, and clothes were cool, But how would you attord them, what about school? You got a job and made your own money. Your life was busy, plus now you had a honey. Schools, sports, and volunteering were in check It seems like now we were losing our Beck Pink is again cool and so is a certain boy. Looking ahead to the future brings you much joy. Sioux City you're bound to get a nursing degree, We bet you are thinking "I'm finally free!" When you finally leave, we'll probably be a wreck, but we want you to know, you'll always be our little "Beck"! We love you so much, Mom and Dad It seems like only yesterday We watched you leave for school For the very first time. Now it is twelve short years later And we're watching a young woman, Ready to challenge life for the first time . In a few short weeks You' U be going off to college And it will be another first time. Life is made up of many first times. The first time you ride a bike, The first time you fall in Jove, The first time you see your baby's face And the first time you realize your little girl has become a young woman Of whom you can be extremely proud. We love you and wish for you a life of many exciting first times. Seize them all and enjoy your future. Love, Mom, Dad, Alexis, and Abbey Congratulations! We are so very proud of you, now and always.

Every decision we've made, every word we have spoken, every action we have taken has contributed to our stories. Some are short and simple, others are a bit more lengthy and complex, but we all have our own story. No one else's life is the same as yours, or mine, or the person next to you. We are all different, and we all have different stories, but we were here together at St. Albert in 2006 to share our stories. This book was made to try and capture those stories which we have all created while at SA. Some of the stories created this year were unexpected and very climactic, others may not have seemed very exciting, but either way, they are all different than our stories from years past. They have proved to be a part of who we are and who we will become. Somewhere in this book is your story. Somewhere in here you can find who you were this Your year. This book is divided into four separate magazines. Maybe you can find your story in the St. Albert People magazine which includes your mug shot and bio. Maybe your story can be found in the pages of Falcons and Saintes Illustrated, where your story was lived out on the field or court. Your story could be found in School TIME, where you were involved in academics and clubs. Or, maybe your story wasn't always found in the halls of St. Albert. Maybe it was the things you did outside of this building that makes you who you are. In that case, your story is written and illustrated in the pages of SA Teen. Wherever your story may be, we hope that we have captured it here. Every magazine is filled with the stories that made the 2005-2006 school year everything it was. - Aileen Mooney Yearbook Editor The s tudent body g oes c ra zy with school spirit while che ering on the footbal l t e am at the dome .

( Photo by Meghan Crowley) Editor's Letter By Colleen McClellan This magazine is dedicated to following all the dramatic (in both senses) and all the wild and crazy things that happen at St. Albert High School. We try to document the "happening" dances as well as all the productions that the drama department puts on including the Fall Musical, Speech Contest, and Spring Play. In addition we provide the public (well, maybe just SA students) with their first glimpse of the "who's who" and what they've done that's newsworthy. First, the drama productions. In the fall, we were regaled with the musical stylings of "Bye Bye Birdie," which was a parody of when Elvis went into the army. The audience was thrown back into the era of big hair and poodle skirts during this production . Speech Contest participants got a thrill as nearly all of them went on to state competition, with the exception of TV Broadcasting in Large Group Speech. However, students were disappointed that none of the groups in either Large Group or Individual Speech were nominated to advance to All-State. By springtim e, our little hometown of Council Bluffs was wrapped up in a murky murder mystery called "On the Night of January Sixteenth" involving a billionaire, his secretary, and some other shady (as in murderers and gangsters) people. The play was the first to be directed by Mr. Doug Stuva, also known as the Brit Lit, English Comp and Creative Writing teacher, here at SA. Ahhh, the dances. Well, they were " interesting" to say the least. Homecoming was at the Primary Building, to which many students said, "Waz up wid dat?" There is no simple answer; the list of reasons goes on and on. The Christmas Dance was held after finals, which led to a severe dip in attendance, but wait, then there came the Spring Dance, which only a dozen or so students attended. So sad. So sad. Anyway, love 'em or hate 'em, the Stu Co will keep on holding 'em. And then there were the mugs (aka the pictures of every student and faculty member in the high school). And their bios, which was a new concept this year and probably the last because it turned into more of a warning for future generations than a good idea. However, we did document EVERYTHING people did in high school from the overachievers to the slackers, the athletes to the band geeks and everyone in-between.

Th e St. Albert High Schoo l homecoming. Why wasn't homecoming at the high school in the little gym? M s. Virgie Oa tm an, the studen t council sponsor, told us why. "The school had booked Oktoberfest and they needed the little gym too. We looked at St. Peter's and decided the layout was wrong. Queen of Apostle' s social hall had something else booked that weekend. So we went to the primary building and decided on that." The decorations were set up in a Las Vegas themed style. Oatm an loved th e decora ting process commenting on how it only took two hours to do. The back drop fo r the p ictures was th e famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the trusty swing choir boxes w ere given a new look as a pair of dice. There were also the usual lights, balloons, and stream ers. But th ere w ere a couple of new thin gs. Posters of slot m achines decorated th e walls and doors and an Elvis wedding chapel was set up in a corner. Th e decodone unti l 12:30." So the decorations were a quite a bit different from the years at the high school and people thought different things about them. Freshman Kelsey Anderson describes what she thought of her first ever homecoming. "It was al l right. I had to decorate for it and the decorations were pretty cheesy. I wish it had been at the high school." Sophomore Bryce Kinard also said homecoming was all right, "but they needed to play more dance music and less '80s rock. I stood in line for pictures for about an hour and came out to hear songs my parents listened to!" However, senior Lauren Wagoner disagrees with those w ho thought the dance was mediocre.

Spring Dance By Shannon Rubes 'Spring Fling' T here wasn't a Valentine's dance, but a Spring Flin g dance existed in its place. If yo u had gone, yo u would've walked through streamercovered doors before paying $5 for a night of fun. However, you would've noticed a smaller crowd there than at the Homecoming and the Winter dances There were mostly fres hmen an d a handfu l of sophomores at the dance. However, two seniors and about eight juniors were there also. Junior C.J. Gradoville said, " It was a great experience for the younger kids to display their dance moves w ithout having to feel selfconscious with juniors and seniors watching them." Sophomore Asia Grimm sa id she liked the picture background. "Sundee Pyles did it again, but she had a hot pink wall and then when we get the pictures back there will be tropical flowers around it as a border," said Grimm. Junior Erin McHale said that the reason she and junior Kylie Schnitker went was they had nothing to do. McHale said that they "came late and left early." McHale and Schnitker are proof that the "no jeans" rule wasn't actually enforced. "We both wore jeans, but they let us in because hardly anybody was even there," Schnitker said. Sophomore Carly Pfeffer had fun at the dance, saying, "The decorations were interesting and I really liked the flowers on the walls." Sophomore Tony Knotek said, "I went in looking for something but I never saw it. I was looking for more people, so I left." All in all the dance was not too shabby. As Schnitker said, "The you nger kids didn't dance, which kind of ruined it, but we made it fun for ourselves." Sophomores Melanne Hilderbrand, Jessica Campbell, and Amy Ryan smil e pretty.

Senior M ar k Fritzsc he, a participant, thou ght it was an improvement over las t year's. He was disappointed the group didn't do better at state, but felt that overall it was a good experience.

Decent Facilities; Great Teams by Alan Caniglia St. Albert High School has always been known for its great athletics, despite having 300 students and playing tough teams in every sport. One would think that a school that has such athletic excellence would have great facilities, but the Falcons and Saintes have learned to cope with the surroundings and make the best of them. Every St. Albert student that dreams of being a sports star starrs off by playing on our "state of the art" playground. You know, the one that includes parked cars and hardly any room to play. At least when my mom asks me where those dents in my car came from, I can always respond with "recess." But, on the other hand, our "playground" for the little ones is getting better, as it now has basketball hoops with wheels. I just hope they don't roll away. Does anyone remember the days when the softball fi eld was made of gravel? It was painful just watching the softball players slide. The girls would get these huge gashes on their legs as if they were sliding on cement. But look on the bright side, at least the field didn't get muddy! creative '€DGe hair salon NIKI ROBERTS Cosmotologist/Owner 110 West Broadway 323-6170 fJ"'"' "' io tnl S""'vice- will. a· 'ifJ<>1<1ru1at ::Oaw:J, www.echogroupinc.com Brent Ryba Sales 29 S. 3Sth St. Council Bluffs, IA 5 I 50 I Phone: 7 I 2-322-029 I Fax: 712-322-8726 Watts: 800-432-5800 Mobile: 402-660-8768 Home Phone: 712-325-6880 brent.rybaQtechogrouplnc.com However, the softba ll fi eld is improving. Although the building is still too close to the fe nce, the field has made some nice additions. The field has a new scoreboard and a renovated concession stand . Oh, and by the way, the girls have actual dirt to slide on now. With these new improvements, hopefully the girls w ill be able to have more success on the field. The baseba ll fi eld has always been o ne of St. Albert's best faci lities. And to make it better yet, there have been some recent upda tes to the fi eld . No mo re excuses can be made about losi ng the ball in the dark, as better lights have recently been install ed. The dugouts and press boxes are also being renovated. And after the field gets leveled in the future, a quality baseball program w ill be playing on one of the ni cest fi elds in the state. Speaking of baseball and softba ll, some of you might recall a certain rain delay that occurred this past spo rts season. The sad part about this delay is that it happened in the gym and not on the fi eld. Does anyone remember "Ra indro ps Falling on My Head" play ing during the se cond quarter of a JV BASKETBALL game? Also, as a first-hand witness, I assure you that this was n't the only time that our volleyball/basketball gym experi enced such leaks. I guess the 20 bucke ts hanging from the rafters also proves my point. Despite having to bring ponchos to the basketball and volleyball games, our Falcons and Saintes continue to be successful on the slippery hardwood . The Saintes have ma naged to frequently make state appearances in basketball and near-state appea rances in volleyball. The Falcons have managed to win two state championships, despite the gym 's problems. The foo tball/soccer field is mak ing im provements, probably for the first time since the school was bu ilt. The fi eld now is surrounded by gravel instead of dirt, which gives the ambulances breaks from having to save fans from second-hand smoke. The concession stands are also renovated. New bathrooms are also being built. Despite all of the fi eld problems, the foo tball team continues to make its yearly trip to the state playoffs and the soccer teams continue to have very good seasons. No t too long ago, the Falcons managed to win the state championship in track. The Saintes also continue to have traditionally strong teams in track every year. Not many schools would probably fi gure tha t such a good track program doesn't even have a track. Having no trac k also means having no home meets, w hich means minimal support. It is truly amazing how our teams are able to compete at such high levels by practicing on pavement, gravel, and dirt. Our tennis courts aren't in the best shape either. Oh, I mean, w hat tennis courts? The girls continue to play tennis at any court they can get, w hich is most often at Roberts Park. It's tough for the Saintes to have competitive teams each yea r because support is especially hard to come by w hen every match is on the road. As for the w restling room, it's not the most spacio us. Additions could definitely be made to make the room bigger. But despite suffering from claustro phobia, the Falcons continue to show improvement every year. Falcons and Saintes Illustrated highlights this school's athletic excellence. We take great pride in our sports. The Falcons and Saintes continue to compete at tl1e highest level. And the conditions don't matter, whether they're game-related or fac ilityrelated.

Boys basketball coach Mr. Dale Scott pushed the student body to put more effort into showing their spirit for the sports teams. The student body responded. At the Griswold volleyball game, students piled into the gym supporting the volleyball team during their second round of districts. Senior Chad Pearce said, 'The girls were on a roll and had a chance to go further then any other team in the past years. It was fun at the football game so I thought that the volleyball game would also be fun." Junior Natalie Andrews said, "When I saw people coming into the gym and it just kept getting fuller; it really showed me that people cared. They were traveling at least 45 minutes to watch us and it got me motivated." At the Dome football game a group of senior girls traveled in the Sneed van driven by senior Danielle Sneed. Senior passenger Alexa Hensley said, 'The Sneed bus was amazing! We were all belting it karaoke style. We also were showing our spirit everywhere, including my awesome idea of leg tights which we decorated as well. I show my spirit to the team because, well, they rock!" At the Red Oak basketball game you saw the superfan era rising for that sport. Sophomores Aaron Snook, Simon Corzine, and Andrew Knuth walked into the gym sporting 70's style clothing and capes. Corzine put his cape into action as Knuth and Snook spun him around above their heads. 'The Red Oak game was awesome, " said Snook. 0We were screaming and cheering and the whole crowd got into it as well. " When asked why he felt the need to follow through with Scott's wish of gaining more superfans he simply responded, 0Why not? It's awesome, and it is school spirit!" When asked the same question senior Ben Hurley, who was an added super-fan, said, "Because it shows school spirit, dedication to the community, as well as the guys/ girls on the team." Superfanning and pep rallies pump up the team, as well as the supporters of it. Snook said, "It's just a way to show people the crazy side of you, and to push the limits. Superfanning is just fun!

Surpassing goals. "Overachieve." These are just a few words that can be used to describe the varsity football season. "Overachieve" was the football team's mantra for the season. Junior quarterback Nolan Batten said they picked "overachieve " because "we wanted to prove everyone wrong and get further than they all expected." Senior Matt Herrington also thought "overachieve" was a good saying. "A lot of people thought we wouldn't even be a .500 team. " Senior Drew Wise thinks they fulfilled their mantra. He said, "I thought we would only make the first round at the beginning. But as the season went on, we overachieved The defense huddles around Coach Kevin Culjat in the UNI Dome.

He said, "Everyone thought this would be a rebuilding year, and we wouldn't go to the Dome. But, we definitely proved them all wrong." The Falcons gather at midfield in prayer after the semi-final game against Bishop Garrigan in the UNI Dome. The Falcons played an inspired game, despite losing 13-0 in a hard fought game. Photograph by Claire Allen The Falcons ended their season with an 8-4 record and a trip to the UNI Dome. They started the season off with 2 losses, to Lewis Central and Clarinda. They finished the regular season by dropping only one more game to much improved district winner, Logan Magnolia. The team went into the first round of the play-offs as the district runner-up. They beat Lo -Ma 27-20 in an overtime thriller. The Falcons moved into the quarter finals and beat seventh ranked Pleasantville 28- 20. Winning locked in a third consecutive trip to the Dome. The team played Algona Bishop Garrigan in their first game at the Dome and fell short of making it to the championship. They lost 13-0. Winning improved Bishop Garrigan to 10-2, but they lost to Iowa City Regina in the Championship. Even tho ugh they didn't get to the championship game, many of the players had a lot of fun. Batten and Wise both said this year was better than the last two years when the Falcons were 2004 state champs and 2003 runners-up. Awalt said, "Going to the Dome was awesome and an experience of a lifetime. It was even sweeter since no one thought we 'd get there" The football team had an unbelievable season that will be remembered for years. They may not have ended their season with a state championship trophy in their hand, but one thing they did have was the ability to "overachieve."

The JV volleyball team included all of the sophomore players along with two juniors, Ka tie Devereaux and Beth Hamling. Over the last two yea rs th e sophomore class has stayed together as a grade. None of them were moved up to JV or varsity during their freshmen year or were moved up to va rsity du ring their sophomore yea r. Freshman volleyball coach Jacque Avey, who coached the sophomores the year before, says that "we need the players to stay together as a team because it is key to building our program. " Sophomore Shelby McMinn says that keeping the sophomores toge ther benefits the team on the court because "We all know how each other play. " The only freshman to be brought up to another team was Becca Gradoville who was moved up to varsity towards the end of the season. Seasons Freshman Stephanie Moran says that having all of the freshmen together "keeps us closer as a teamn The freshmen and JV teams were close off the court as well. They especially enjoyed eating at each other's houses before games, playing "gigolo" before games, going to tournaments, and having an end-of-season 3v3 tournament at practice during which they each brought treats. Sophomore Caitlin Finn points out a problem in keeping the grade together on one team. Finn says that she disliked how her grade couldn't expand to other players in different grades and it was more difficult to bond with the players in different grades. Sophomore Janelle Roux, setter of the JV team, says that keeping the grade together improved how they played because they had more experience playing together. Both the freshmen and the JV volleyball teams had successful seasons. The freshmen finished with a record of 13-2 while the JV finished with a record of 9-4.

All of the freshmen were on JV and most w ere on the varsity team as well. Varsity he ad coa ch Mr.Tom Heithoff says of the younger players on varsity, "It is not ideal because they run into situations that they don't really know how to control. " Heithoff then adds an advantage of the freshman and JV players getting varsity time. "They find out w hat works and what doesn't the hard way, which adva nces their skills," Heithoff says. Many JV players had to do double duty this season by playing both JV and then varsity. Sophomore Arny Ryan played JV and also started many va rsity games. "Playing JV taught me things tha t I could put into the varsity games," Ryan says. The JV team also benefited from the varsity time.

" Falcons Come Up Short, Grow Up Quickly By Alan Caniglia Despite needing young players to step into big roles, the Falcons proved that they could hang with the best of them. For the first time since the 2002- 03 season, the Falcons finished w ith a winning record of 12-10. Not only was this the first winning season for any current varsity member, but it was also head coach Mr. Dale Scott's first winning season as a coach at St. Albert. "With our tough schedule, it's always a good year to have a winning season," said Scott. The Falcons experienced some tough losses, but they did not come without some big wins. With a 7-2 start, it looked inevitable that a winning season was intact. But when the Falcons lost six out of their next seven games, it looked as though bad memories of the last two seasons were starting to set in again. "It was a team going through a rough stretch. I knew we'd come out of it because the kids really had a lot of character," said Scott. The Falcons finished the season by winning four out of their last five games, Senior Matt Herringt.On watches senior Quinn Walsh shoot a layup.

At the same time, however, the Falcons experienced a big loss when starti ng point guard C.J. Cradoville went down w ith a season-ending injury against the Knights. As a result, young players such as freshman Matt Waters knew that it was time to make some big contributions to the team. "When C.J. got hurt, I felt li ke it was time to step up," sa id Waters. While rid ing young ta lent and veteran leadership, the Falcons made it to the second round of districts before suffering a heart-breaking loss to eventual district champion Red Oak. "Our goal was to make it to Wells Fargo," explained senior Josh Marshall. "We just couldn't meet our expectations. " The way that the Falcons finished the season gives evidence that the program seems to be back on its feet and is moving back in the right direction. And maybe next yea r, with lots of young talent returning, the Falcons might be able to reach the ultimate goa l of playing in the stat e tournament. Although the futu re looks bright, the Falcons will dearly miss the contributions of seniors Alan Caniglia, Matt Herrington, Ma rshall, and Quinn Walsh. "It's been a great experience being a Falcon basketball playe r for fou r years,., said Herrington. With another season full of ups and downs, the Falco ns showed th eir toughness throughout the entire season-. Although they might not have reached their ultimate goal, it is evident that they took some serious steps in that direction. "We went through some tough times in the middle of the year, " said Walsh. "Towards the end of the year, we played well as a team, and we came together. " Junior point guard C.J. Gradoville breaks down the defense against West Harrison.

Frosh/JV Boys Basketball Future of Falcons looks bright By Steve Orwig During the boys basketball season, most of the time the focus tends to be on varsity, but if you took the time to notice, the St. Albert basketball program has a great young crop of JV and freshman basketball players who will be the future of the program. "For the young players coming up in the program, the sky is the limit," Head Coach Dale Scott said. "The kids are hard workers and I am very excited about where Falcon basketball is heading. " The JV ended up with a losing record, bu t it was a tale of two teams. "At the beginning of the year we thought we could just turn it on and off," JV Coach Matt Ahrenholtz said . "But by the end of the yea r we were playing complete basketball games and playing some great basketball and I was really proud of these guys by the end of the season." For the JV, it was hard to come together as a team. During practices they were intermixed practicing with the varsity, and on game days they were expected to bring it all together. "This was a very fun , yet sometimes frustrating, season," sophomore John Madsen said. "At the beginning of the year we weren't realizing our potential, but by the end of season we were playing good basketball. Also, spending 3 months with some of your best friends and working hard together is always fun and I can't wait until next year." For the freshmen, they ended up with a winni ng record, showing that their hard work paid off, because when you only suit seven players, you have to work hard to be successful. "These kids worked their butts off this year, " Freshman Coach Mike Kay! said. "And our improvement from the beginning of the year to the end of the year was tremendous, and I am really proud of this team and think they all have a bright future ahead of them.

After that, everyone started doing good and threw strikes." Teams Roll Through an Exciting Season By Aileen Mooney It's the other winter sport. No, not girls basketball or wrestling. It's the sport where you can be a spectator and a participant at the same time: bowling. Bowling is well-known fo r being the only sport where you can eat French fries, drink Coke, visit with your friends, and participate all at the same time. Bowling was again successful but even more than in any years past. There were more numbers fo r bowling than anyone could have expected, with a total of 63 bowlers. Head bowling coach, Mr. Ken Mehsling, says he believes that more bowlers went out because, "It's fun, it's non-intensive, and they can compete at any level and be intense or just have fun. You also don't lose your ball and you're always close to the concession stand!" Having so many on the team really helped the team to become more competitive with more and more people vying for varsity positions. This year the boys team was led by the seniors. Most of the varsity team consisted of seniors. As sophomore Jared Knedler said, "(The seniors) did their part." The boys varsity team consisted of seniors: Al ex Higginbotham, Ross Caniglia, Michael Palmer, Andy Willcu ts, Michael Palmer, Shay Ba les; sophomore Jared Knedler; and freshman Jace Cochran. The girls team, on the other hand, was a bit younger. The varsity team was made up of nearly all unde rcl assme n, including sophomores Valeri e LeMaster, Kaylee Smith, Cami Kinley, Brooke Kinney, and junior Michelle Farrage. 24 FALCONS AND SAINTES ILLUSTRATED Junior Michelle Farrage focuses on the pins as she gets ready to bowl.

Mehsling was very proud of this accomplishment, saying, "! was excited because I didn't th ink we did all that well at Red Oak, but really no one else did either, and we ended up w ith Cami and Alex having the top two finishes at Red Oak, so it really made sense that they go to state ." As Kin ley said, "I didn't expect (to go to state) because the team didn't make it and there w ere so many teams there. " After r e tu rn in g fr o m st ate , Mehsling said he had mixed emotions. "Alex was pleased w ith his last game and ended up w ith an ove rall 28th place finish. Cami wasn't as pleased and placed 43rd, but that's still better than the hundreds of people who didn't make it to state." Mehsling sa id he was very proud of Higginbotham and Kinley along with the rest of the bowlers who went ou t. As Higginbotham said of bowling and going to state, "Who-Rah!"

It's the St. Albert girls swim team of course. With a roster of only five girls consisting of Annalisa McGinn, Jessika Karl, Michaela Hurley, Valerie LeMaster, and Cami Kinley, the St. Albert girls swim team is rather small. However, when they join up with the Abraham Lincoln and the Thomas Jefferson swim teams, they form a still small but mighty team of 25 girls. One of the seniors, McGinn, talks of her experiences on the swim team. "I really enjoyed being on the team, and I plan on doing it in college." She also mentioned that when she leaves she will miss the team. Sophomore Kinley also talked of her experiences on the swim team. She has mentioned that she enjoyed the swim team this year, and is planning on joining up again. Also sophomore LeMaster says that she has enjoyed the swim team and wishes that more people would join. Otherwise she says that she w ill be back next year for the team. Although saying goodbye to two of the five team members due to graduation may be a little challenging, the girls all look forward to a bright future.

Some of the locations were Shenandoah, Red Oak, Glenwood and Lewis Central. Farrage played No. 1 or No. 2 singles for most of these matches. When asked what she thought about the tennis season, she said, "I thought tennis was challenging this year, because I've had to play tough No. 1 and 2 spot people. I still thought it was fun.

Track consist ed of running events that ranged from the 100-meter dash to the 3,200- meter run, and the field events included the high and long jump, and sho t and discus throws. First-year head coach Mike Kay! said, "I think the '06 boys track team season went well.

As the season came to a close and district came around the corner, coaches buckled down and got down to business with all the events. At districts, the Falcons qualified two individuals for the state track meet: junior Nolan Batten in the discus and senior John O'Malley in the /00- meter dash. On the way to finishing fourth at the district meet, the Falcons also advanced state qualifiers in the 4x100 relay (junior Jeremy Schieffer, senior Chad Pearce, Batten and O 'Malley) and in th e 4x200 relay (Pearce, freshman Zac Butcher, Batten and O' Malley).

Throughout the year, this number dropped to 17 with the loss of five of the cheerleaders for various reasons. However, the cut in numbers did not hurt the squad. "We still had a lot more stunting opportunities than we have had in past years," said junior Jordan McBride. Seventeen members were plenty to put up most of the stunts they wanted to do. More numbers was not only a stunting advantage; it also came in useful for the cheerleaders' annual Valentine sale . The cheerleaders sold over 5,000 valentines. "Val entines went great this year," said art teacher Ms. Deb McGuire, w ho hel ps ch ee rl eading sponsor Mrs. Gail Pogge. "I felt a lot less stress.

She says, "I felt like I knew most of the returning people, so it wasn't a difficult job. " Junior Erin McHale was a member of the leadership team, or group of captains, along w ith Golw itzer, McBrid e, and junior Anna Diez. It was a little difficult to get through the year with only one returning senior. "The leadership team really had to step up to get things done and keep the new people on task-" McHale said.

JV coach Tom Heithoff says his favorite moment was when the girls pulled together and worked well together as a team. Heithoff also said, "I was very pleased with the efforts from Trevour since she was so young and much wasn't expected from her. She played very well all season.

There are some true benefits to time spent in the weight room. It was an exciting year for lifters at St. Albert. With plenty of new equipment and a new, very dedicated strength coach, lifters were ready for results. Mr. Vince Rallis started as the new lifting coach in the summer, and he enjoys his job a lot. "I'm glad I got the opportunity to become the new strength coach," he said. "The kids are great and they work hard every time they step into the room. " Rallis brought new ideas to SA w hen he came. A major thing that Rallis started was circuit training, which is where instead of the traditional lifting style of starting at one rack and staying there the whole time; there are stations around the weight room and lifters go from sta tion to station and work on different things at each one. It is a good way to work the whole body hard in a shorter time frame . Many lifters enjoyed this new style and it seemed to pay off. Senior Jessika Karl, who us ed circuit training throughout soccer season, enjoyed the lifting and Rallis' tactics: "We've improved a lot in strength and hopefully it pays off in the future. " Junior Sam Egger also liked Rallis as the new addition to the weigh ti if ting department. "He's a great guy and gets us wo rking ha rd whenever we are in the room. " Every year, lifting is becoming more and more stressed in sports both in season and during the off-season by coaches. Mr. Randy Salyers, head girls soccer coach, is a very strong advocate of weightlifting both in and out of season for his sport. He constantly stresses weightlifting for his players. Students agree with this idea, as most students are lifting in the off-season in order to get stronger for their sports they play during the year. As junior Graham Whye says, "It's a great advantage for any sport.

Albert is a place where many people may think that they know what they ca n expec t and w hat is goin g to happen. This year though, all of this was thrown out the window with the addition of classes, clubs, and even trips. The list of classes yo u could choose from expanded as classes like H istory in Films, Anatomy, Mass Prep Ensemble, Music Theory, World Music and Voice Class were added. History in Films added a fun new way to look at history in a new perspective. It showed history through the eyes of Hollywood. The Mass Prep Ensembl e added a new flavor to Mass. It brought more bvehness to the music and got you to want to sing a long with those songs. Along with the new ensemble, the choir was just as great whi ch might have come from the new singing classes. Voice classes were added and you could tell it had a grea t impact on the choir because they sounded great.World Mu sic introduced students to diffe rent types of mu sic fro m around the worl d , whil e allowing them to play some of the instruments as well. Anatomy brought a new type of sc ience which eemcd to appeal to a lot of people. These new cla cs seemed to give students choices of cla se whi ch they were actually excited to go to. I thi nk tha t the add ition of classes reaUy opens up a lot of experience to the students. You can tudy music from aro un d th e wo rl d, w h ile playin g instruments from around the world.

By Aileen Mooney T he World Mission group went to the Dominican Republic for th e se cond consecutive year. The seniors and their chaperones stayed for 10 days in the D .R . where they spent a few days at Creighton Universiry's Institute for Latin American Concern, several days in the campo ofLa Esquina, and one day at the beach. They spent their first dew days at !LAC in order to prepare themse lves for their time in th e Dominican Republic by learning about: the D.R.'s history, the tasks they were about to perfonn, and the life in the D.R. In pre parati on for th e ir time spe nt in th e communiry of La Esquina, the mission students we nt o n a scavenger hunt aro und Santiago to get to know the ciry, visited a Haitian betay, and spent some time in Cien Fuegos before leaving for the campo.

There was a fire in Santiago in 197 5 and 100 homes we re burned down . The people of those homes moved to th e area of Cien Fuegos to build new homes. C ie n Fu egos is th e most impoverished place in the Santiago area. Co nditions are fin all y improv in g, slowly. Sp ending th e d ay in this communi ry wa s a huge eyeopener for the students. After preparin g and lea rning abo ut th e D.R.. t h rough !LAC, the mission students made their way to the campo . T hey spent the next several days in the campo of La Esquina to build 10 latrines for the communi ty. T he students ended up completing nine of the latrin es, which was much more than th e anti cipated six that the communi ty had hoped for. "They worked great as a team to accomp lish the completion of the nine latrines." Mrs. Donna R iedl , chaperone and campu mj nister, said of the missio n students' work. While in the campo, the studen t enjoyed playing volleyba ll , learn ing ca rd gamt: , having rock fights and wa ter lights, and pl aying domin o · with the kid .

However, leaving the ca111po turn ed out to be even more difficu lt for many of the studL·nts on m ission. By the end of the ir stay, La E quina seemed like home to them. "Eve r y yea r, you hear the World Missio n team say how hard it is to leave, but you neve r rea lly understand just how diffi cult it is until you ex peri ence it yourself.

SUBMITTED PHOTO SCHOOL TIME 2006 Reflection Da By Hannah Rounds "I t's an opportunity for students to get away from th e everyday sch oo l environment and to spend a little time in prayer an d reflection to learn more about themselves, our faith and God, " commented M rs. Donna Riedl, campus minister, on the purpose of our reflection days. O n their designated refl ection day, each high school class arrives prepared for its retreat. A few customs that add to the comfort of this day are j ean clothes, do ughn uts and pizza , and the re laxing medita tion during th e afternoon. Each reflection day is focu sed on a central theme that uses a number of activiti es to involve students and ti e into how this theme is presented throughout the day. Fre shman Mike Roane gives an example of one of these ac tivities, explaining, "The theme for our grade was abstinence and we got a box, decorated it, and wrote a letter to our future spou se le tting them know we waited for them and abstained fron1 intercourse until marriage." Roane elaborated on the day and said , "We also had a guest speaker who discussed abstinence and how she had waited and had no regrets. She al o spoke of regrets that we might have if we didn 't wait and what we were risking by not absta inin g , for in stan ce , contracting an STD." Sophomores Samantha Drake and Brian Beverage perform a skit about a Bible passage for their grade.

After dividing into gro ups, students n1ade a list of deci ions they make during the span of a week and then acted out a kit based on one decision and the proce ss that was invo lved. They also perfom1ed ski ts based on Biblical stories that tied in with their theme. Like many ot h e r classes, the sophomores went o n a hi ke after lun c h . Sophomore Zach Masker, who participated in this activity, praised it by saying, " It was enjoyable and allowed us to get in touch wi th nature." Mean whil e, on th e refl ection day for the junior class, social j usti ce issues and peacemaking were two subj ects whi ch they touched base with duri ng the day. Juni or C had Belt, who was asked what he liked best about the day, decided that he particularly enjoyed the story selec ted from the Bible that he reenacted with fellow gro up members into a skit. "Skits are a fu 11 way to ac t out the theme," he remarked. Th e se n ior cla ss fo c u se d o n m emori es an d futu re aspirati ons throughout the course of their refl ec tion day.

Many students, though, also find jobs to earn cash. One of the more popular employers for high scliool students is HY·Vee, both at the new store on Madison Avenue and at the store on North 16th Street. Freshman Andrew Vejvoda said he enjoys working at HyVee because of the pay. But along with the pay comes some difficulties. "I hale cleaning the restrooms and doing the carts," says Vejvoda, "but I also hale ii when angry customers come through the checkout line and yell al you for not sacking their groceries correctly." Grocery stores seem to be popular. Junior Amanda Jungman worked at Super Saver. "I enjoy working there because I work with a lot of really cool people," she said. Senior Emily Meilike broke the trend of working at a grocery store. She was employed al Country and More. She said she enjoyed the flexible schedule that they have. Gary A. Rindone REALTOR" 3036 S.

Junior Jordan McBride is a lifeguard at Town and Country, "I love working al the pool because you get to work outside and meet a lot of new people," she said. Another job that some students take up is doing maintenance work at the school. Junior Jake Brown says he enjoys working al school because the hours are very flexible, but the labor is pretty hard. Though school can be hard and lime-consuming, many people find jobs to keep the money coming in. Whether ii be in the summer or during the school year, there are always good and bad things that come with the job. Senior Jenna Derrig checks a prescription at the Walgreens pharmacy.

(Photo by Angel Mescher) Ho11iecomine Week The good and the bad By Hannah Rounds The fact that this year's homecoming was different from years past was very obvious for all St Albert High School students . Some changes certainly left them to wonder, "Is change really for the best?" Several students became suspicious when it was announced that the first dress up day, Monday, was Western Dar. Students know it's tradition for Pajama Dar to be the first on the calendar. Quick to blame it on a StuCo malfunction, some were pacified when they found out the change served religious reasons. Mass had been moved from Thursday to Monday, to prevent the loss of daily studies due to the pep rally. Apparently, administration thought the slumber attire would be inappropriate. Either that or they were hoping to prevent people from the usual nodding off during the homily • And so the changes continued. The homecoming theme dress day, las Vegas Day, had soon disappeared and Thursday became Picture Day. Rachel Sykes deemed this day as "being PGintless, because no one wants to dress up like a picture." However, it later was discovered that this day was not a dress up day necessarily, but picture day for underclassmen and a jean day for the seniors • Administration had been confronted with a scheduling conflict and simply decided that the Thursday of Homecoming Week would be the best place to fit in picture day. The Homecoming Pep Rally was also held on Thursday. The date had changed from Friday to Thursday to benefit the cross country team (who had a meet on Friday during the pep rally) so they would be able to participate in activities. Students were skeptical about this change, but most were satisfied when the football team took victory at the Homecoming game the following night. Though the date had changed, at least the winning tradition from years past had not. And the usual Homecoming tradition, the crowning of the king and queen, was also something that hadn'.t changed. Popular opinion among the students has said that the kings and queens of past years have been well deserved, and this year was further supported that statement • Senior Katelyn Crouch, who was also on court, said, "I'm very happy that Megan (Conlon) and Cale (Yates) got ii because they're both truly sincere people." However, some seniors shared differing opinions on how their last homecoming week was spent. Camille Beckman said, "I was disappointed because the focuses of the week were mostly its flaws and what had gone wrong, rather than the actual week." However, Beckman agreed with fellow senior Jeremy Clouse when he stated his favorite part of the week. "The seniors dominated the pep rally and Powder Puff," Clouse said, laughing, "while the Juniors lost." The last major change took place on the Saturday of the dance. Instead of being held at the high school, it was moved to the primary building. The main reason for this change was because of Oktoberfest, which had been scheduled to happen the same weekend and place of the Homecoming dance. Many students were wary with the change of scenery, but changed their minds as soon as they began dancing and having their fun . Although many changes caused the students to change their minds about the week, many admitted that all was well in the end. Sophomore Tony Knotek speaks for many when he sars, "The week was really unorganized but at the end of the week, the dance was worth it." : 06 sateen e o o e Q • • • • • • • o • o • • • • e • • e • e ~ • o o • • • • o • • • • • • e e • e • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • o o • \ • 0 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Seniors Christina Peckham and Katelyn Crouch along with the rest of the dance team are all smiles as they perform their porn routine during the pep rally.

However, whether the money they have is spent wisely or not, it is certainly done so in a variety of ways. Students have many common obligations to spend their money on. Senior Christina Peckham noted a few things that were found frequently on her list of things to buy. "I spend a lot of money on food and clothes as a teenager, and I think most people do." With these few th ings added to t he expenses of the cars students must upkeep, it's easy for everyd ay expenditures to add up quickly and have a tendency to leave students very low on cash. Sometimes the cash flow into one's pocket seems to be flowing out at a larger rate than it is coming in. If the weekly allowance from one's parents isn't cutting it (basically, if you're just not a freshman anymore), most students opt for getting a job. Even though a significant proportion of our student body is employed, many still have a difficult tim e budgeting their money. Mrs. Nancy Sc hall es, personal finance teacher for high school students, had some helpful advice for students who may find themsel ves in a money mishap. " M a n y students forget to keep track of how much money is deposited and removed from their account," Schalles said . "It would greatly benefit students to keep track of their balance in a checkbook (should they have one), and it's also a good idea to get their parents involved in the process to help them save for any future expenses." Though Schalles also encourages spending money wisely and not on impulse, many students have been known to do otherwise .

(Photo by Valerie LeMast er) sa teen imagination, students can find a few quirky things to help themselves to a little fun. Sophomore Andrew Knuth had a few ways to have fun while not spending money so wisely. "It doesn't take a lot of money to have a week's worth of fun. Creativity is the key." And creativity certainly is key with Knuth and his friends. Fellow sophomores have been known to pass around stories featuring spotlights, Santa suits and rats , that is, for purposes that will remain unmentioned. Sophomore Aaron Snook, an accomplice of Knuth's, said his main motivator for buying "pointless" items is simply, "Boredom." However, even though Snook spends his money on impulse, he didn't consider it to be a waste at all. " I spend my money on pointles s things," Peckham said while laughing and listing just a few of the items. "A clown mask and a fog horn are just a few. My friends and I have found more than a few ways to have fun with those." Wh atever students' motivation is for spending, they should remember to use their own judgment when it comes lo having access to both an open wallet and an open mind . • e • o o • • • • • • • o o e o • e e e e e e e • • 0 e • • • • • • • • • 0 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Junior Cameron Tucker puts gas in his Jeep.

"We just all love to plar." Teamwork was also a big plar for the 14-0 victorv over the freshman and the 7-0 victorv over the juniors. It seems that on the field the girls work as a whole to fight off the competition, whether br intimidation or pure talent. Senior Rachael Showers tries to explain their connedion on the field br admitting to just "having a great time together. Evervone seems to just come together during powder-puff." Intimidation seemed to take a turn in the senior's favor this rear, as in the past . "The whole time ther just kept telling us ther were going to beat us," freshman Gabbr Welch sars about the seniors' victorious war of beating up rour ego • It didn't help the rounger girls' confidence when ther found out ther would be plaring touch instead of flag this rear. Ther thought of it as another war for the seniors to beat up on them • Their intimidation appears to be working because no other teams were reciprocating it to the seniors. And who would? Ther are, after all, the defendin·g four-rear champions • So remember, talent doesn't alwars beat the love for the game. These girls plar with love, drive, and ambition, and look where it got them?

Students must complete ftve hours of community service per semester in order to both pass their religion class and also to graduate either into the next grade or (if they're seniors) to receive their diploma. This service hour requirement has been in effect since the 2004-05 school year. As the year went on, students continued to donate their services to various organizations and causes. There was alwaYS someone needing assistance, so most students were lucky to discover service projects that were suitable for them. Senior Ashley Hutcheson explained, "I go to a day care and play with kids because I like them and it's also related to what I want to do when I get out of high school." Hutcheson, who has volunteered at multiple day cares and through the Big Brother/Big Sister program, recommends this type of volunteering to others . "We play games and learn about the kids, which makes it a good experience," she said. "It's fun and you get to know the kids and positively impact their life." However, if childcare isn't for you, there were plenty of other places for you to earn your hours. Junior Nicole Schwartz and Hutcheson both helped to lend a hand at the wrestling meet that takes place at SA annually . Hutcheson said that the Saturday she spent there was fun and that "I learned more about the sport of wrestling and until then, I hadn't known much at all." There were also many other opportunities to volunteer Sophomo res Sean Eri xon and Jonathan Greider speak wit h a nurse while volu nteering at Mercy Hospita l. ( Phot o by Valerie LeMaster ) 012 sa teen at SA throughout the year, including the auction, benefit dinners in the cafeteria for foundations like Make-A-Wish, and the craft fair . Schwartz, who helps with the craft fair's cookie walk every year with fellow dance team members, saYS, "One advantage of being on the dance team is being able to reach out from typical activities because we not only help out, but work together for a good cause and therefore bond as a team." Though all students were obligated to complete service hours, they had mixed opinions about whether or not it served the purpose administration strived toward . Schwartz feels that, "It seems as if people only complete them so they can pass classes and graduate. It just seems people are only giving up their time for that reason." Sophomore Kyle Graham thinks the required service is a good plan because, "It prepares us for the future and helps us to be recognized as a role model in our society." Graham has volunteered at both Mohm's Place Thrift Store and for various causes at his parish, St. Peter's . Though it takes time and "you have to give up other things quite often," according to Schwa,µ, "at the same time, you benefit by getting an inside view and being informed on what is going on in your community." Mr. Tim Vogel, study hall coordinator, summed it up, saying, "I think it's great because it introduces students to a new facet of making yourself feel great. Usually when you first start out you feel like 'Why do I have to do this?' But when you finish with the job you feel great; a gigantic warm and fuzzy, and you are glad that you did it."

Well, yes. The most prized activity accomplished on the weekend seems to be simply "hanging out." So what is the best way to enjoy your weekend time? "Go out to eat and have tons of fun with your friends," says junior Natalie Andrews. Andrews' best weekend memory was during the summer. "My brother and his friends shot firecrackers at me and my friends. We ran toward the football field and it ended in us ripping out our jeans while trying to jump t he fence." Sophomore Mike Hoffmann enjoys his weekend free time by spending some time with his family. If he doesn't have anything going on, he " bonds with his parents." Although Hoffmann's weekend usually consists of "hanging with friends in Council Bluffs or Walnut," his favorite memories are "fishing, going to girls' houses to hang out and watching movies." Another activity enjoyed on the weekend is hanging out with friends. "Seriously, all I do is sit at peop le's houses," says senior Megan Conlon. Senior Danielle Sneed enjoys taking trips with friends on the weekends to avoid doing the "same old things". Sneed has fond memories of her road trip to Shenandoah. The best part was "going with (seniors) Hutch (Ashley Hutcheson), Tina (Peckham) and Stacie (Kelsey) and singing the whole way there." Some odd agendas are set up for students' weekends. Most of them are spontaneous acts when students don't have plans. Sophomore C.J. Gradoville remembers when he and his friends "went around throwing Valentino's magnets at cars and seeing if they stick." On a usual night Gradoville just hangs out at friends' houses. As far as odd happenings on the weekends, seniors Katelyn Crouch and Peckham promote fog horn use. They buy fog horns and then hide out and fire the horns at unsuspecting passersby. Where did they come up with the idea for this odd weekend adventure? Crouch says, "We were watching a movie and there was a scene set on a golf course. Before someone would take a swing, the fog horn would be used." Naturally, the golfers in the movie were a little upset. Peckham and Crouch have also seemed to have left select victims of their fog horn use somewhat upset. Crouch remembered one un fortu nat e experience wh ich t oo k place on Broadway. I n t he events that followed after the fog horn was blown, a lady walking out of Dairy Queen was distracted. She looked toward the car and waved, and in the process, tri ed over the curb.

Hensley adds that health is a lifestvle . "You can't plan on changing your eating habits or dieting for a couple weeks," she said. "It has to be a change of life." Mr. Tom Heithoff, health teacher, sums this all up on why staying healthy is important . "Good health in adult years ma y depend on the physical foundation built in teen years," he said. "Healthy lifestyles developed while young could encourage adults to stay with a fitness program."

Movies like "Brokeback Mountain" changed many people's perspective on sexuality, "Goodnight and Good Luck" showed us what can happen when government gets out of control, "Capote" challenged the death penalty by giving viewers insight into how the murderers felt, and the Academy Award for best picture went to "Crash," which shows racism today . These were the movies that tended to get critical acclaim and win awards, but most weren't big blockbusters. Although a few students went to movies like these, the majority stuck to movies like "Saw II," "40-YearOld Virgin," "Wedding Crashers" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Senior Jeremy Clouse said that he saw both types of movies throughout the year. "I tend to go to movies that are a more critical success, because of all the hype around them . People talk about them and it makes me want to see them." Hr. Michael Sullivan says he goes to movies "for intellectual and emotional stimulation. When I see something without these I f eel gypped." Both say that many students don't go to movies that make them think. Clouse thought this was because students want to be entertained and not ciuestioned. Sullivan said, "When I was in high school I loved James Bond along with everyone else, but when I got to college I had teachers who taught us how to watch movies and what to look for. High school kids are looking for fun; their taste will develop as they do." When asked to p ick their favorite movie of the year, Clouse chose "Jarhead," which was a critical and box office success. Sullivan went with "The Constant Gardener" because "it deals with the problems of today, that will affect us in the future."

The opinions of girls varied when it came to these, and some approved of them while others shunned those certain fashion statements . Sophomore Simon Corzine, who was sporting a pair of square-cut pink jeweled earrings, commented, "It's my birthstone. I like to wear them because I think I look good and it gets me with the ladies." Regarding both fashion trends popular for males this year, junior Nicole Schwartz commented, "I think guys look great with the earrings and many have the potential to look classy. However, if a guy can't pull off either the earrings or the popped collar and it just isn't working, then it doesn't look too good." Senior Ashley Hutcheson agreed with Schwartz and added, "If their personality fits it and it works to the advantage of their image, it can be very complimentary." Contradicting Hutcheson's compliments, sophomore Caitlin Finn remarked, "I don't like the look of the popped collars. It looks as if they're trying too hard to 'fit the part.' " However, Finn had a different opinion when it came to the "blingbling in the lobe-age." Finn and fellow sophomore Meg Donegan agreed that it looks good and can be a signature addition to what might be a sign of good taste . Although the boys were notorious for piercing their ears, several students from the senior class chose other methods of body modification. Soon after their 18th birthdays, students would then arrive at school with a new tattoo or piercing . Hutcheson was one of several seniors who took part in this tradition . She justified her tattoo by commenting that she "had always wanted one of a cross, so when I turned 18 I went and got one." When asked if it was the painful experience it is often rumored as, Hutcheson replied, "I was expeding it to be very painful, but it didn't really hurt." Among other fashionable items this year were those introduc d by many girls at St. Albert. Gaucho pants, leggings, barrettes and oversized sunglasses were paired with gaudy, but cute, jewelry in some of the most common styles this year . "I like the look of wearing leggings under skirts," commented Finn . She added her· support for this trend by saying, "It draws more attention to creativity rather than bare legs and makes the short skirt look dassy." Although many trends can add to one's appearance, they also have the potential to take away. When asked what determines whether or not a person can pull off a trend, Donegan stated, "It's their personal style and whether or not they're wearing it just for the attention. Most people who try the 'look at me, look at me' approach don't succeed.'' According to Donegan, there are also good trends that can be ruined by people. Donegan says, "We should shun these people, much like the lepers in the Biblical times." Senior Annalisa McGinn offers an example. "It doesn't "!Ork when people with swollen, nasty cankles try to wear itty-bitty leggings or people's rear ends hang out of their gauchos. I often wonder if they own a mirror." If you're too worried about fashion faux pas, the best trend by far is to just be yourself! Dress comfortably and incorporate the trends subtly when trying them for the first time, and don't be afraid lo consult fashion magazines and fashionistas for advice . 020 sa teen . • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • . . ...... .. ..... ....... . . . , ........................

New accessories that include cell phones equipped with camera and video, digital cameras the size of credit cards, iPods that hold up to 10,000 songs and video, and portable PSPs that fit inside your pocket. These are just a few of the new items on the market, but why are these things so popular? And how are kids, without jobs or a source of income, getting these things? The reason these things are so popular is because these high-tech frills are something we've never seen before. Remember how things such as Nano Pets and Pokemon were before, when we were younger? Now it's time for the iPods, cameras and cell phones to become the craze • Sophomore Jonathan Grieder said, "Everyone wants something new because it's Un) and most people, like me, get the iPods from their parents for like Christmas or for their birthdays." "People get them because they're so much more portable and easier to use than they ever were before. I like to use my camera for taking pictures of my friends," sophomore Becca Meade says • It's becoming common that, when something cool happens, you don't see someone whip out their camera; they whip out their phone to capture the moment and send it to all of their friends with pidure messaging, One of the more popular items on the technosayyy list is the iPod, holding random Items that include music, video dips, commercials and music videos. Not only are the iPods cleverly attractive, but almost everybody has one • "iPods are amazing because if you look back a few years, things have come a long way, and it's cool to see what new is to come," says junior Allison Gorman • IPods also have every accessory that Jou can think of with connections so you can listen in your car and carrying cases to match your personalltJ • Video or camera phones, at one time considered high tech and expensive, now are cheap and come from just about every phone company • "I like cameras on my phone, but they'll get you in trouble if you take pictures of inappropriate things," says senior Shay Bales • Of course, there's more to come in the technology department in the coming years. Maybe someday there will be something along the lines of wireless headphones for IPods or some sort of cable TV that comes with it • Who knows what's in store for the fuluref But one thing is for sure: The present technology is only temporary because every new day comes new ideas for new gadgets, and there will always be people looking for the next big thing • 0 0 0 0 •• 0 •••••• 0 ••••••••••••••• • ••• •••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• ••• • ' 0 e e G e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e • e e e • e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e • w H A T Out with the old, in with the new A B 0 u T D 0 y 0 u L I K E B E s T Sophomore Jennifer Liston Senior Josh Trowbridge "I have it just in case of ernergendes."

They took a weekend for TEC (Teens Encounter Christ), learning about their faith and gaining new friends and experiences . Gina Assmann, Meghan Crowley, Angel Mescher, Aileen Mooney, Patrick Fetter, and Danielle Sneed all attended a TEC . But what exactly is TEC! A few days filled with faith, fun and thoughts on the future with several other students from all around the Des Moines Diocese. The daYS were spent reflecting, listening to testimonies, and interacting in groups . Many students enjoyed meeting new people at TEC . Gina Assmann continues to stay in touch with people she met on TEC . "It was really cool to go on TEC and meet an interesting variety of people," said Assmann . One of the things that students on TEC were asked was why they were attending. Patrick Fetter decided to go because, "I had heard a lot about it, and it sounded like fun." TEC was an experience that was difficult to fit into many seniors' busy schedules, but making time for it was definitely worth it. It was a really interesting experience, and very memorable for the students that attended it.

It's one of the foundations that SA prizes, and this was no different for the seniors of 2006 . The water fight is something that every senior class looks forward to in their final daYS as a student at SA. The water fight for the seniors of 2006 was a little bit different than the water fights in years past. The seniors enjoyed a day of fun at fellow senior Andrew Doll's house on Lake Manawa. The day consisted of boating, grilling out, getting some sun, playing football, and a waterfight. It was more than just a water fight in a park; it was a day filled with fun and great memories . Water balloons, food, friends, and the satisfaction of making it out of high school alive: all perfect ingredients for a day on the lake . Senior Jeremy Clouse said, "It was a really fun day that I won't forget. Hy favorite memory of the day was when we were boating and we saw everything around the lake." Senior Andy Willcuts said, "Even though not everyone was there, it was still really fun. It was better than not having one at all, and everyone had a good time." With not a lot of people there, the waterfight aspect of the day still took place with the guYS taking care of most of the dirty work . Senior Alexa Hensley's outlook on the waterfight was simply this, "I got hit with a water balloon and didn't have anything to throw back. It stunk!" Sometimes all it takes is a group of seniors, food, water balloons, and a boat to make one day a day to remember. And the day at the lake did just that. Cale Yates tries to es ca pe as Chad Pearce strikes him with a water balloon.

The band playing, the slow procession down the gym floor by each pair of bright-eyed, smiling pair of nearly grads, and parents, students and teachers all gathered to watch this memorable occasion . But every graduation is a little bit different. Steve Theulen spoke as student body president, followed by Alex Higginbotham, senior class president. Then the St. Albert Award was given to Mrs. Mary O'Neill by Mr. Alan Mooney, chairman of the Area Board of Education . Ross Caniglia, valedictorian, and Kellie McGruder, salutatorian, both gave speeches commemorating the event. They talked about moving on, growing and developing as an adult, yet never forgetting the precious memories created throughout their high school years . The choir then sang and the diplomas were presented by Principal Mrs. Jonna Anderson. Dr. Luvern Gubbels gave his remarks, and the Spirit of St. Albert Award was presented to seniors Marissa Finn and Chad Pearce . Bishop Joseph Charron gave his final blessing and it become official: the ~lass of 2006 had finally graduated . They walked down to "The Last Song" no longer as students, but alumni . With their high school years behind them, it's safe to say most of the seniors are ready to move on. As Alan Caniglia put it, "I'll miss being able 10 hang out with my friends, but I'm ready for something totally different." St eve Theule n, Le e Grimm and Jeremy Clouse pose just after graduation.

If nothing else, we ' ll always have the Best Semester Ever to look back on. Or at least the 60 or so days of it be fore the adviser stopped updating the board. (By updating, of course, he means changing the number of days as well as cleaning up after whoever it was who kept writing th ose rea lly sloppy double V's - for Very Very, presumably - so that they looked like a single W.) Of all seven letters to the sta ff (sorry, Class of 1999; the tradition d idn't start until 2000), this one is by far the toughest to get a handl e on. Jn that regard, it is a fitting metaphor fo r the year. As you may reca ll , the first semester was marked by the adviser's declaration that he had no intention of staying in his c urrent job. The third quarter, paradoxically, was highlighted by his renewed passion fo r the program that inc luded initiating a complete upheava l o f the department's course structure beginning with 2006-07. Then it a ll came crashing down at the end of fourth quarter as he once again wondered how much longer his future was at 400 Gleason . Through the ups and downs of2005-06, though, one th ing was constant in Room 102 : There were a lways enough j ournalism students dedi cated enough, concerned enough and talented enough to keep the yearbook and newspaper on track . While frustrations related to the job may have affected the adviser's behavior in ways ra nging from uncharacteristica ll y lovv attendance at fa ll sporting events to a comp lete absence from the grad uation party c ircu it, it is important for a ll the departing members of the journalism program to recogni ze that those frustrati ons were not about the students. In fact, the students were the one consistent positive of the school year . In a j ournalism year that had its share of bright moments, the highli ght rema ins one deadline midway through second semester.· Mere days after the adviser had dec lared that " the wheels are coming off the wagon," the yearbook sta ff faced a decision. To meet the pl ant's next deadline, 48 pages HAD to be mailed. Accordi ng to the staff's own deadlines, 72 pages were supposed to be ready so that the rest of the yea r wo uld go more smoothly. Fa r fewe r than 48 of those 72 pages that the yearbook editor took home to look at that weekend were actua ll y ready to mail, with some nowhere c lose to compl eti on. When Monday ro ll ed arc:i und, the adviser asked the editor, "Ail een (because that was her name), how many o f those pages do you ex pect yo ur staff to clean up in time to mail?" Her answer was all 72; in the end, 70 of them were actua ll y mailed in that batch, making the seniors' fin al few weeks much easier than if the decision had been made not to push hard on that deadline. Never in eight years on the job has the adviser been more proud of the effort of a staff. That dedi cated staff included its fa ir share from the Class of2006, of course . When May 5 ro ll ed around and the seniors wa lked out of the gym with their kites, six of them had successfull y su rvived three years in the journalism program. Another six departed having j ust compl eted two years. Still eight more graduates passed through at some time in their high school careers: two who spent I 01" , 11 '"and the first half of 12'" on board; one who was around for I 0'" and 11 '"; two who lasted a full year as J- 1 seniors; and three who discovered at various times that one semester of J- 1 wa plenty. (Hint: Look at the arrangement of photos on this page to figure how who belongs in whi ch category.) J f any of those 20 are reading this right now, it means at least a few months have passed since your fin al days in St. Albert's classrooms. Now that yo u've had some time to refl ect, here's hoping the portion of th at time spent in Room I 02 had some value as you move on to the next chapters in your li ves . • e • o o o • • • • • • • • • • • • • e • • e • • • • • • o • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • , Index 33; F&S 6, 7, 21 , 43; Time 6, 23; SAT 2, 24 Baumert, Marc People 20; A F&S 7, 21, 42; Time 9, 27; SAT2 Abraham, Farrah People Beaman, Heather People ' 28 ; SAT 4 14; F&S 49; Time 6, 7; SAT : Ahrenholtz, Matt F&S 21, 4, 21 ' 22 Beauchamp, Theresa , I , Allen, Claire People 14; People 34 , F&s 21; Time 21 Beckman, Camille People : Andersen, Jake People 34 2, 33; F&S 40, 41 , 49, 50; ' Andersen, Jonna People Time 15; SAT 6 : 134; SAT30 Bell, Rachel People 34; ' Anderson, Kelsey People Time 28, 29 : 19, 28; F&S 24, 36, 38, 44; Belt, Chad People 14; F&S : Time 22; SAT 14 7, 43; Time 3, 8, 22 , Anderson, Danielle People Bendgen, Shane F&S 52, ' 20 53 : I Andrews, Natalie People Benson, Kelsey People 14, : 12, 14, 25; F&S 3, 4, 10, 11 , 26 , 27, 38, 39; Time 26 , 44, 45; SAT 15, 24 Benson, Marcia People 34; : Armbruster, Matt People Time 15 ' 20; F&S 7, 21 , 22, 42, 54; Bergan, Josh People 2; : Time 24 F&S 24; SAT 31 , Assmann, Becky People Beverage, Brian People : 28; F&S 16, 18, 36; Time 20; F&S 42; Time 8 ' 22 Beyer, Tarra People 34; : , Assmann, Gina People 2, Time 11 , 26 8, 12, 27, 40, 41; F&S 10, Biller, Amanda People 1, ' 11, 16, 17, 36, 37; Time 5, 28; F&S 4, 54; SAT 18 6, 14, 20, 29; SAT 26 Bowers, Brian F&S 7 Avey, Jacquie F&S 11 , 12, Brown, Jake People 14; 13 F&S 21 , 35, 55; SAT 4, 24 Avey, John People 20; F&S Bruck, Fr.

Photograph by Brian Beverage Thi s yearbook is a collection of stories, and at the end of every story comes the moral, ri ght? Well, this is the "moral" I offer you: Th e book is ending, but our stories continue. Our stori es shape the people we become, and they continue outside of who we were in th e 2005-2006 school year. Every story is different, because every person is different. We as students are a little bit of everythin g put together in the halls of St. Albert to learn, have fun, grow up, and mostly: to share our stories. We are all unique and diverse, just like each of these magazines; and maybe your story wasn't limited to one magazine. Or maybe you r story changed from magazine to magazine. Either way, our stories are changing. So we can ask, "What's your story?" But most li kely, we don't know the answer to that question until after that particular chapter of th e story is over. It is only then that we ca n truly understand and grasp our experiences. The cast of the spring play, "The Night of January 16th" takes a final bow.

Whether just up a grade level at SA or onto college, the work force, or the military; we have al l moved on. Our stori es have now changed, and w ill co ntinue to change throughout life: day to day, moment to moment. O ur stories, our lives, are constantly changing. As we move o n in our lives, and create different stori es, we need to remember the stories we have shared together. The only things we know for su re are th e experiences we have lived and shared, and w e must use those experiences to guide us through our ever-changing present and ever-uncertain futures. • • : "My foot the • • • : door, and is out you can't : • • :stop • :-The me now . .. " All-American So I guess th e mo ral of the story is, simply, "Don't forget your stories and the lessons you have learned from them, and try to have no regrets." Because it is the good and bad, the ups and downs, the laughter and tears that have made you who you are today. • :Rejects • - Aileen Mooney Yearbook Editor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Seniors T.J.

Many might not agree with that statement after om three dual wins on the year, but looking at years past, we are getting better. The year started off slow with half the team out due to the extended football season. As the year progressed we filled 10 of the 14 spots. It seems that the only way to get fans to the meet or tomnament is to give things away, like the lovely T-shirts that set a record high in the stands this year. I always figmed that the thought of your fellow classmates in strikin g single ts was treat enough to fill a gymnasium. I guess I was wrong. The year was capped off by Brent Marshall's first win of his career, Eric Golwitzer slamming a large kid, and Sean McNitt wearing his sin glet backward and making it to state. So to all of you in the St. Albert community who have not been to a wrestling meet , that's what you have missed out on. Hope to see you next year!

OO®WfID/@llOOJ1® @@~W Teeing Off For the Green 'N' Gold By Kyle Graham [ · · This season was a good one. We had many up and down tournaments, but we usually had fun. We started at the Al/fJ Invite at Dodge Riverside. At that time o r: main core for the guys golf team was Shawn Daley, Paul Johnson, Jake Hoffa, Chris McKenzie, and myself. The weather wasn't the greatest for this meet and was evident in our final scores. After that, we had five more tournaments. Those were the LC Invite, Glenwood, the Roncalli Invite, TJ, and our sectionals. Not too many of us were shooting where we wanted to be, but this didn't matter much until we got to sectionals. At sectionals we came through when we needed to and we qualified for districts as a team, which hadn't been done at St. Albert in a long time. At the TJ dual we got back one of our better golfers from injury, Sean McNitt, who helped us with a pretty good score at districts. Then there came the new golfers to the team; Doug Moran, who golfed at the AL(fJ Invite, and Wade Batten, who golfed at the Glenwood Dual. This year was good overall, but we have a lot of room to improve for next year, especially since we lose our captain Shawn Daley and two other seniors for next year, but we do return a good core and hope to do well next year.

Also new were sophomores Lauren Kennebeck, Allison Palmer, Ashtajohnson, and Taylor Russell. Bad weafuer caused a lot of canceled meets and practices but didn't keep fue team down. "We've missed some practices, so when we have it we take it seriously and work hard," sophomore Sarah McKee said. Returning to St. Albert this year was boys tennis. We used to have a boys tennis team, but a few years ago it got cut. The few members consisted of sophomores Blake Fostvedt and Tyler Haug, along witl1 foreign exchange students Phillip Wang and Torno Tsushin1a. The boys started strong wiili a victory at ilieir first meet (not counting forfeits) and continued to do well wiili Fostvedt and Haug winning city doubles.

(Photo by Jordan Hoffa) By Andrew Brown This year was a pretty good year for freslunan football, I thought We started the season by playing against Glenwood at home. We were very nervous and I didn't know how we were going to do with the short number of players we had. It was even worse since we lost between 5 and 6 players from the year before. We ended up beating Glenwood 28 to 21, and I thought that was so awesome. After the first game we started reacting more as a team and becoming more comfortable with each other. Besides coming together as a team, we got ourselves together and started working on our own weaknesses as well as the teams. We went on a winning streak the rest of the season and won all three of our last games, b eating T J., A.L. and Griswold. It was awesome coming out of my first year in football with an undefeated season of 7-0, and I can't wait for next year. The Falcons rush back in as a team following warm-ups against Platteview.

The season started with a mix of fe elings and people: the different playil1g levels, personalities, and the outlook on how the season would turn out. Though the season started out with a losing record, many players were beginning to bond with each other and their coach. The tean1 quickly fell in love with their coach and the show "Grey's Anatomy." That became the main topic of t11e conversation during conditioning. With the team friendships building the s a.son got off to a new start when the tean1 beat LC, one of our biggest rivals fo r the whole year. As the season ended with the win over Glenwood, the team finished the season on a high note, a good ending to a rollercoaster year, but a year that we wouldn't trade for anything.

We had a pretty good season, finishing with a record of 9-3. We were coached by Mr. Andy Assmann and had 10 girls on the team. We'll all remember when freshman Amber Thomas fell to the floor after someone hit her in the head with a basketball. Overall, it was a fun season. The JV season was even better. We had Miss Melissa Respeliers as our coach. We finished 6-9 at the end of the 52 season, with 12 girls on the team. One fabulous memory we had was when we got beat by the Blair Bears by 40 or 50 points. Getting Burger King after the games was also a lot of fun. Overall, this season was a good experience, especially since we were freshmen and hopefully we will get a lot better for next year. In conclusion we both had a lot of fun this year on both the freshman and JV teams. We both came out as better players by the end a nd it was a n awesome and really exciting season.

We started practicing hard in the summer. The practices were hard some days and fun others. The JV team really buckled down and we started developing a team bond. There were some really rough games, and some really great games. The season had its ups and down but we managed to work through it and have a good season.

It all started with our fundraisers: first it was the taco wajl<.1 then it was the spaghetti dinner during basketball, then it was the junior high dance that we put on. I got to be auctioned off to one of the kids, and then got to dance with that person. I felt honored to be auctioned off for a mere dollar. March 19 came so fast; that was the day we left. It was a long day with all the flights we took, the layovers, the food we ate, it was exciting, but at the same time a very long day. We left around 9:30 in the morning, and we got to the Dominican around 9:30 that night. The first night we just relaxed and got used to the surroundings. The first three nights we stayed in ILAC center. That was kind of like a house or hotel. They fed us, they gave us movies to watch, beds to sleep in. The four days after that we stayed in the campos, where we met our families, and got to meet them very well. The first night 76 it was fun to see what our families do ever yd ay. They work constantly everyday. A typical day consists of getting up, the kids go to school, we ate breakfast, then worked until lunch, ate lunch, worked until dinner. When the night was over we played cards, or sat at om families' house. Then the last two days, we went to our resort. I have to say that it was very nice to relax on the beach after four days of building latrines. It was tough, but it paid off. I have to say that if I could do it again, I would jump right in. It was the best expeiience you could ever have, and to see what life is like there, compared to back here in Ameiica, it's like a whole different world. Ibings are different, people are different, but one thing is the same; it's the way people act there. They are some of the nicest people you ould ever meet, and they make a living off of some of the hardest ways to live, but they do it everyday and it was nice to contribute to them and their country.

(Submitted Photo) 77 By Matt O'Malley Setting up class retreats, helping to serve at Mass, and contributing to other school activities are a few examples that Campus Ministry students help out with at our school. -. This year, going on a retreat with the rest of my junior class was something to remember. With good food, fun activities, and lots of fun memories, the Campus Ministry students were successful in creating a relaxed and very spiritual atmosphere for us to enjoy. When it came time for the all-school Masses, the Campus Ministry students made what people would think to be just another average Mass into something that the entire student body looked forward to. Coming up with creative themes like "Follow the straight and narrow path" or "Becoming fishers of men" were huge successes. Along with the themes, the students also served at Mass, with jobs like Eucharistic ministers, lectors, readers, and servers. Also, what came along with the big jobs that were very important came the little ones here and there, like placing banners up in the hallways, decorating the St. Albert statue, and reconciliation services. What may seem like an easy job to some may b e a surp1ise that our Campus Ministry students that do so much for our school work much harder than most think, in the name of God.

Concert has learned music vocabulary, proper breathing •• techniques, and ways to achieve a rounded, mature sound. Furthermore, additional voice sections have been added, like second sopranos, a more defin ed tenor section, and occasionally descant. This has resulted in an intricate harmony. Just like every year, concert choir leads school liturgies, performs four concerts a year, and participates in the all-city choir concert. However, in addition to those performances, the Iowa Athletic Association invited the choir to sing the national anthem before a game at the state basketball tournament in Des Moines. Despite the practice time of only 60 minutes a week, improvements have been made on an already solid choir. Below: Junior Bryce Kinard sings loud and proud at the fall concert.

We went on a trip in March to Chicago; it was a lot of fun. BliR-0 is probably the easiest class I have. It is also the most interesting class I have. It is fun to go in and just play.

FACULTY By Emily Oliver In case you hadn't noticed, the fashionable little lady running around St. Albert is the newest addition to the Math department, Mrs.Joan Phillips. I've seen her running around all year and wondered who she was, so of course I had to get the dirt on how she ended up at St. Albert and what she was all about. These are the questions I asked her to find out just what was up with Mrs. Phillips: How did you end up at St. Albert and what did you do previously? "I taught in Missouri for four years and then Millard for 18 years. I worked with Area 13 as a Math consultant for two years, and I ended up at St. Albert by being involved with Area 13. I also chose to come, 90 because working around the school I knew St. Albert had a good reputation and I liked the school." What do you enjoy most about being at St. Albert? "Well, coming to St. Albert from the public schools in Millard, I really appreciated the private school setting. I feel much more professional here.I definitely think that St. Albert has a really caring atmosphere that I enjoy a great deal. The students are amazing also; I love them." What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? "I'm basically a workout queen. I run, bike, swim, lift, etc., and I also love reading." So, as you can see with my investigative work, Mrs. Phillips seems to be fitting in quite nicely here at SA, while spicing it up a little.

If you had one last meal, what would it be and why? I would have to pick a giant roast beef sandwich from Arby's, because it would taste REALLY good. What are your future goals? I don 't have them all set yet, but definitely go to college. Who inspires you most in your life, and why? My parents for sure, because they're always there for me and they work hard to make everything go smoothly. 107 108 JUNIORS JIBNN1IFIE LISTON JJlU ''lI'lIN JUNIORS { By Emily Oliver When you hear the word foreign, what do you think of? For most of you ... the thought of something different that doesn't fit probably comes to mind. Well, with our foreign exchange student and peer Martin Buch, this is definitely not the case. I think that everyone in the junior class would agree with me in saying that Martin definitely eased into our grade and it feels like he's b een with us all through our school career. How did you end up at St. Albert and what was it like here at first? "I was originally supposed to end up in Miami, Florida, but I think that since I was older they really wanted me to use the language and get a lot out of the experience. I didn't really have much say in where I went, but now that I'm here I'm glad I came to Iowa." What was the hardest part about coming to St. Albert? "I think the hardest part about this was in the first month it was hard meeting new people and all the new experiences, but my classmates adopted me as one of their own and I consider them all my friends now." What has been your most memorable experience since you've been here? "Wow, I would have to say it's definitely meeting Shawn and Aaro~ and being in our band The Sound of Starting Over. Either that or being runner-up and Mr. Congeniality at Mr. SA. I've had so many memorable experiences here though." Do you miss home a lot and would you ever come back? "Honestly, I never really have time to really think about missing home and my family. I have so much to do here to keep my mind off of it, but yeah of course I miss home and my family. It was very hard to leave them behind. I'd definitely come back here, but probably for vacation or just to visit." Martin may have had many memorable experiences here, but he's given us a lot of them too. He'll definitely be missed next year. f lE!lE<CCA 109 110 JUNIORS By Emily Oliver Have you ever wondered what I'd be like to take a walk in someone else's shoes for a day and see how everything takes place for them? If so, here's a glimpse into Valerie LeMaster's ever-so-slightly unoriginal life. "Fighting giant demons, slaying dragons, and traveling the world to fight off zombies with my amazing ninja power ... just· a day in the life of Val, oh wait ... no that's just what happens in the comics I create in pretty much every class. Really, my day starts out with forcing myself out of bed, going to school, and drawing in pretty much every class. (It's amazing I can even tie my own shoes!) After school come sports prac- <C.A:IRJL r IPJFJEJFIFJER tices (swim team, bowling, or golf) I also have two jobs, which include being a lifeguard at Kirn Pool and taking orders at Tacojolm's in Mall of the Bluffs. During my f ree time I enjoy a wide variety of random activities, ranging from making electronic music ... playing trombone & tuba. .. working on comics, reading zombie books, playing Dance Dance Revolution, or obsessing over the next "Saw" movie. But my absolute favorit e thing to do is during the St. Albert home football games I get the honor of dancing around in a falcon costume as our school's mascot, Freddie the Falcon. So, my life isn't as exciting as my comics .. . but I sure do enjoy it! " JUNIORS "--;-- - I By Emily Oliver When you hear the words 'girls sport' what comes to mind? Volleyball, Softball, Dance, etc? To Dani Andersen those words take on a whole different meaning, because Dani hasn't followed the ways of Mia Hamm, but instead of Muhammad Ali. That's right, she's a boxer and here's her story. "I started boxing this year and I train at the Down Town Boxing Club in Omaha. I have three coaches and a boxing partner, named Paula. I love boxing, because it keeps me in great shape and it gives you a huge adrenaline rush. Also, I love the environment and the vibe boxing gives off .. it's like we're all one big family. Boxing helps relieve a lot of my stress .. .! definitely recommend it for anyone who's really stressed out. If you're having a bad day you can just go and take out your f rustration on the bag. There are some downs to boxing though. If you're in a fight and you get lzit ... you can't really feel how bad you're hurt during the match, because there's so much of a rush you're almost numb to the pain. Practices are really Izard. We do sit ups practically upside down and tons of strength exercises. It's tough, but the benefits of it are definitely worth the Izard work. I've made some great friends and developeq rny character so much." 111 Top 10 most common weekend activities 1. Hanging out in school parking Jot 2. Hanging out at someone's house 3.

Chrft§tma§/§pning DaJrllce§ Short on Attendance Not Fun By Gabby Welch Everyone knows that the winter and spring dances are not close to being as popular as Homecoming or even Prom. You don't get all dressed up, the dates aren't taken as seriously, and the group you go in seems to be a lot smaller. Even though these things are true, the spring and winter dances are not lacking in their fun . There are less people, making everyone go all out when they dance. You get to request the music you want and you can brag to everyone who wasn't there how fun it was! Spring and winter may not be as popular as Homecoming, but they are always just as fun!

For whatever reason, the Class of 2007 was one that never turned out in droves for the j ournalism program. In fact, when senior year finally ended, only seven of you were a part of the process. Even if you take into account students who passed through the program briefly (the two gentlemen in the bottom corners dropped by for more than a year while there were also such single-semester journalism students as Chad, Nolan, Jordan and Kris), the total number of students represented by the Class of 2007 was the lowest of any graduating c lass in the adviser's nine years at the school. That means those students who did stick with the program had more than enough work to go around. And over the past three years for the five in the top row and the past two years for the duo in the second row, you spent a lot of time in Room 102 getting your share of that work done. What brought you here? For the one who started buying yearbooks in seventh grade, I guess taking pa.rt in the program was a no-brainer. And one of you signed a " blood oath" to restore talking privileges in eighth-grade study hall, so your arrival junior year was not a surprise either. And the one who wound up running the newspaper came along with her friend, who 1 think was just looking for a place to keep her sack lunches properly refrigerated. For another of you, you may have figured it could only get better after having to write the Ac Dec story in eighth grade Exploratory Newspaper (I hope at least parts of the three years were better than that). Of course, two of you weren't even at the school in eighth grade (preferring such tropical locales as Florida and Malvern), so you didn't know what you were getting into. Now you know it's OK to thrO\v doughnuts at teachers but not OK to order pizza for unsuspecting others. Now it is time for you seniors to go off and pursue your dreams. And for the first time since my a1Tival at St. Albeti , it is time for me to go off and pursue dreams as well. Fortunately, that just means having to move to another hallway, not another school. Things will be different around here now that you're gone, and even more different when I think about some of the faculty who will be gone as well, some of whom mattered very dearly to some of you, some of whom matter very dearly to me. So remember, if you get the urge to visit, you can now fi nd me in Room 209. It doesn't have a back room (so no doors to slam), but I'm sure I' ll have the day of the week and the date written somewhere on the dry-erase boa.rd if you need to know it. And if you're really lucky, I just might say something funny and hit the cymbal. P.S. 1 thought this was supposed to be a pop-up book?!

My fondest memories will be the gifts God has blessed me with in the form of the people in the extended St. Albert family. It has been particularly gratifying to watch our students grow over these 5 years. Th young people give me tremendous hope for the futu re of our school and our world." -Mr. Brian Os/.xJme '1 have been the librarian at SL Albert for 6 years from 2002-2008. Four days a week I worked in the high school library and one day a week I taught the elementary students library skills. My most important triumph has been to teach and help students with library and research skills. The new material triumphs have been: computers in the lab and some in the library, overheads. TVs. DVD players. and eq ujpment for Channel One. The rugh school library has also acq uked a religious education library of videos and books. We've also weeded out several hundred old copyrighted books while buying new ones every year. My fondest memoiries will be of the students and staff I've come to know here at SL AlberL The adrrllnistration here is outstanding. The love and support Ive received will stay in my heart always.

Love, Mom and Dad - - -- -- - ------- There once was a group of eighth-graders who would grow up to be the St. Albert Class of 2008 and a journalism adviser who would grow up to teach religion. Each eighth-grader spent one quarter taking Exploratory Newspaper and watching high school newspaper and yearbook staffers come and go from the back room, which, if their name was not Simon, they could not enter. Extra-lucky eighth-graders also took study hall from the adviser. It was OK to chew gum in study hall. But if the adviser said it was silent study hall, you could get a demerit, even on your birthday. It was also OK to list your birthday on the calendar, but you shouldn't put an apostrophe s where none was needed. Sometimes, students performed cartwheels in study hall. Oh, yes, most of the girls seemed to be named Megan, although they spelled it a vari ety of ways. When school resumed the next fa ll, the eighth-graders had grown into fres hmen. This was sad, because the adviser had not yet created a journalism course for freshmen, and no freshmen were scheduled in his room. Some of them came, anyway, especially after school while waiting for the team bus. One fres hman found a way to get into the room dming an actual class. She call ed it Transferring From A.L. Finally it was sophomore year, and several members of the Class of 2008 signed up fo r journalism. The adviser was happy to see them, even though he had decided there was no point to teaching journalism and that true happiness lay in teaching religion. Sometimes he tried to sneak in lessons on religion, especially with two sophomore girls he thought would benefit. The students, however, seemed more interested in maki ng publications. Some of them were so interested they created something called The Falconer. This did not make the adviser happy. Next was junior year. Some members of the Class of 2008 stayed; others left. Some new members came. The adviser was still there, too, although by now he really, really wanted to teach religion. Its possible he sometimes conveyed this to his students. During the second semester, when it was time fo r the Class of 2008 to start applying for the key newspaper and yearbook jobs, he let them know he was done teaching journalism. Then he put together the staff the best way he knew how for the new adviser and continued to hunt for a religion job. He found one temporarily right in the journalism room every afternoon from mid-February on. Then, in early May, he fo und a full-time one in the same building. And he still got cookies. That left senior year. Many members of the Class of 2008 who learned journalism from the adviser continued to make newspapers and yearbooks. (If you don't know who they are, look at the pictures on this page.) Meanwhile, the adviser-turned-religion-teacher discovered he had been right about it being time to change roles as he really liked his new job. He missed the camaraderie of maki ng publication with the Class of 2008, but he saw most of them in his Church Issues class (everyone on this page except the photo editor, in fact). And the journalism program got along fine, chu rning out newspapers every month and, as you can see by the publication in your hands, producing a 2008 yearbook. And they all li ved happily ever after. Although, now that it's fa ll, I bet the adviser-turned-religion-teacher is really missing the Class of 2008.
