II s A meaningful friendship cannot be attributed to the length of the acquaintance, but rather the inner characteristics projected outwardly through that person. l L R 46 Mrs. Gladys Miller is one of the most valuable assests that Tri-Center Schools has ever had among its administration. We will certainly and definitely hate to see this fine woman leave us. Mrs. Miller is a lady who means more than just a school secretary to us. Her smiling face could always be seen as we walked past the office. She has given a sense of efficiency and friendship to us, the students at Tri-Center. Her 36 years of service at this school are extensively appreciated. Words of gratitude are not enough to say thanks for her many attributes that she has offered. We wish the best to you, Mrs. Miller. The Tri-Center students will always remember you, a great friend . njk -· . . .. I , �Mrs. Frey's special motto to live by: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Many people pass in and out of our lives every day, but only some will leave their marks of wisdom in our minds. Mrs. Frey is one who will leave a lasting impression both in this school and in the lives of all who have known her. For she has touched each one of our lives with her excellent teaching ability, her friendly smile In the hallways, or her philosophy that you must take chances if you expect to get anywhere in life. These are the memories that we will carry with us throughout our lives. Speaking as friends, we hate to see her leave, but we wish the best of luck and happiness to her in the years to come . For all she has done for us, we would like to say very sincerely , "Thank You, Mrs. Fre y and May God Bless You ." tjm 47 �A D M I N Board of Education: Kathy Bintz, Howard Darrington, Larry Watson, and Shirley Masker.

The purpos~ of t he FHA is to develop talents which will be used in our futures. Belonging to this organization gives us a chance to meet new people and to develop special friendships with those who we would normally have never talked to. Special recognition should be given to Bonnie Darrington who served as state treasurer this last year and to Kelly Christensen who was elected as District Treasurer last fall . The 1980-81 officers were President-Tammy Mauer, Vice-President-Bonnie Darrington, Treasurer-Nancy Kriz, Secretary-Carla Clark and District Representative-Kelly Christensen. 76 �s T C u0 D U E N N C T 1· L stu.dent coun cil a representative body composed chiefly of students chosen by their classmates to organize social and extracurricular activities and to participate in the government of a school or college . ..... ..... Welcome to the real world of a student council member. Contrary to the Random House Dictionary ( 1967) definition, the T-C members volunteer their services (popullarit y contests we don't need). Unfortunately the fanfare surrounding the election process is eliminated by this method. Nonetheless, the TCSC has members who are enthusiastic (to some degree) to help, organize and generally be late to first period. The challenge for a SC member is to come up with extra-curriculum activities in which everyone can participate and enjoy. (Tough to do in any league) The 1980 Christmas danc e with Its traditional festive dressings cro wned Lori " Zoom" Knott, Snow Queen. The spring record dance, while naving a limited supply of specrators, helped the council to raise funds to support an orphan from another country. All proceeds from the dance and spring track meets went to support a child for one year. Although the list of accomplishments may not be lengthy, the good will and intention of the student council was excellent. Officers for the 1980-81 year were: President-Julie Kay, Vice-President-Michelle Olsen, and Secretary-Treasurer-Lori Knott. Student Council members (pictured above) are: Jill Cook, LaRee Bintz, Michelle Olsen, Becky Rign, Jane Carlson, Deanna Bardsley, Bonnie Darrington, Lori Knott, Ann Campbell, Pat Langin, Julie Kay, David Borrink, and Lisa Welbourne.

The Basic goal of the French program is to acquaint students with a language and culture other than their own. In addition to studying the language itself, we attempt to learn about the culture - from cooking to politics. One of the highlights of our year is Foreign Language Week. Activities include: making crepes, wearing French buttons , playing to earn French "phony" money, sellin g and samp l ing French "bonbons." In the fall of 1981, five French II, Ill , and IV students and Mrs. Gambs attended "Au be rge de Jeunesse", a weekend camp designed to give students a taste of what it would be like t o visit France . Students were required to have passports, go through customs , ch ange th eir money t o French currency, and speak only French. Activities included: folk songs and dan ces , lesson s on slang expressions French teenagers might use, a French movie, eating authentic foods , lessons in escrime (fencing), skits prepared by the students, and a boutique whe re st udents co uld spe nd their money on everything from T-shirts and bumper stickers to import ed chocola t e and ch eese . This year marks the first time a student has completed a full fou r yea rs in Frenc h - Jul ie Brisbois. �Science teaches us to think logically and rationally about th e unknown . Science is man's attempt to explain his universe . Science endeavors to discover tr y h. Any searc h for truth may at times be painful and arduous while at other times it is exciting and adventurous . For some of my studen ts there have been time s when the study of science seemed painful and arduous. But at other ti mes the excitement of probing the eye of a cow, or brain of a sheep, or when examining the internal structures of a fetal pig, there were found moments of inten sely rewarding study . One wri te r has said t hat "in order to prize the sweet , you must first t aste the bitter . " I believe that a t ruth is contained in that statement. To every discipline there is both pain and pleasure . My purpo se in the classroom is to help future generations appreciate the quest for truth . • - Lee Killpack 14 _j �Home Economics use to be girls learn i ng how to cook and sew.

Allen , in addition to being our leading tackler, was voted all-southwest Iowa football player . Yet the part that Coach Bayse wished to stress the most was , " The team made it through a bad season with excellent pract ice attendance and healthy att it udes.

If I had to wager a guess , I would say t hat changing coaches and philosophy always makes a difference ." " Nine seniors who all played graduat ed last year with a 4-12 record , leaving us with no experienced upper classmen . Al l of our numbers lay in the freshman and sophomore class . We ended up playing two sophomores and a freshman . We actually won one-sixth of our matches ( 10 of 60) , wh ich is not reflected in our overall record (1 -16-1). With nine returners with experience , we should have a better year next year ." 32 �FAR LEFT: Jane Carlson digs one out. UPPER LEFT : "bumps ."

Each sport, football, basketball, and wrestling, had its own squad to give them undivided support. The Cheerleaders raised money for their new sweaters by selling dufflebags, M&M's, spiritbuttons, valentines, and flowers. They also sponsored the ~nnu .al Valentine's Dance. Aside from these activities, the main focus for them was leading school spirit and c~cki ~g the teams. They did a great job, despite the lack of appreciation they sometimes failed to receive. The eer eaders were sponsored by Mrs. Clausen and Mr. Kossow. 39 ��The Tri-Center Trojanette basketball record this year was a mu ch improved 10-9 . Three of the losses we re by f ive po i nts or less , and three more were by nine points or less . A more experienced team might have won all si x of these close games , and then you would have had an excellent ye ar. This year 's team has paid the price to be winners . Off season practice was the key to TC basketball becom ing successful again. Jill Katzer was named first team all conference, first team All-Southwest Iowa in the World Herald and Honorable Mention in the State in the Des Moines Register .

He provided good leadership and scored consistantly in the 200 dash. As a team , we started out very slowly with a lot of underclassmen, but as the season progressed and they became adjusted to their events they began to improve accordingly .

Their int ent was to invite five represen t atives of all thirtytwo school s in the Sout h-West Iowa district , wh ich they did. Som e schools disrega rde d the invite , many made the exc use that it was a bad time of the yea r (a s if there are better times to disc uss m ass suicide on a global level) . Of those schools attending , all hoped we wo uld continue our efforts of another Rally in the fall of '82 . Speakers included ; Jim Marx of the Omaha Freeze Chapte r and Ri cha rd Clea ver from the " Catholic Worker " in Des Mo ines. Albert Einstein , who is dead, co uld not attend; however, a st atement attributed to him brought back a haunting reality to the overridi ng dangers of the Arms Race: " The splitting of the atom has changed everything , except the way we think and thu s we drift toward unpara lleled catastrophe ." The idea that more is better is ridiculous . We do not beco me mo re secure by producing more powerful nuclear weapons ; since th is only perpetuates an arm s ra ce among the supe r powers. A blockbuster bomb used in World War II would be equivalent to 100 ton s of TNT. Th e bomb dro pped on Hiroshima would be equivalent to 20 ,000 tons of TNT . Tod ay we measu re nuclea r bom bs in megatons - on e megaton is equivalent to one mi llion ton s of TNT. The U.S. and U.S.S.R. now have multip le warhead 1CBMs in th e 25 50 megaton areas . If tha t doesn 't get you , think of wh at it costs in human ter ms : - The average family pays more in ta xes to support th e world 's arms race than to ed uca te th eir children . - In developing nations there is one soldier for every 250 inha bi tants; on e docto r for 3,700 . - The co st of one destroyer is greater th an the yea rly U.S . pledge to the U.N. Development Fund . - Th e Dep art ment of Defense is the largest singl e en ergy-user in U.S. and in 197 8 used the equivalent of 237 million ba rrels of oil , an amount th at would keep all ur ban bus systems in t he U.S. runnin g for 22 yea rs . - In t he U.S . on e t ax doll ar in t wo goes to the military ; thro ughout the world , one in six . - For int ern ati onal peacekee ping for ces the world spend s $135 million ye arly ; for national military forces, 3 ,000 times as much . Wh at it all boil s down too bunky, is that the class of 1982 may not have to wo rry about plann ing their 10-y ear reu nion . 78 �Left: Jim Marx. Omaha Freeze Chapter. and Richard Cleaver.

Center: Hitting a softball was a new experien ce for Gesine in the annu al Sociology Challenge Cup Tourney. Lo wer: " After overhauling engines all day , and all you 've got is a Tu nalite "? This past year TriCenter had a good fortune to become more familiar with another culture . Gesine Klever of West Germany spent her senior year with Mary Stamp and her family being the host. Gesine's reflections on the experience : The decision to " live in another country , with a new family away from home and old friends was guided by a desire to become a more independent person . I wanted to understand a new country, new people, and become a member of a new family." " Back in Germany my schoo l was much bigger than T.C., but I'm sure it is an advantage for an exchange student to spend the year in a smaller school." It is so different living in a small community compared to our town in Bielefeld. " I also le arned to live with sisters and sometimes to fee l a little bit jealous because back " home" I was the only child in my family. I am very happy to have chosen to spend this year in America : and I am sad that it is al most over . I want to encourage everyone to conside r to be an exchange stude nt. '' "Although it will be painful to leave , you will come "home" with many expe riences, a new understanding, and knowing that you have friends and a loving fami ly in another country ."

As all of you well remember, the '82 TROJAN left us wondering the fate of the torrid romance between Kim and Adam. Soon afterwards, Adam got the wanderlust itch and moved on to join the company of Cathy R. Not to be pushed aside, discarded like another chapter in the "Adam Chronicles'', Kim sought out the company of the King of Jeans, Mark S. Then as the yea r went on, the students watched Cathy, watching Adam, watching anything that moved. Meanwhile back in Sociology, Burl and Roxanne bad finally had it with each other; divorce was the only solution. After difficu lt days in court, Burl was finally free of Rox the Fox. Sharone and Valorie quickly came to her in her V2 hour of grief; but as she had done to so many people, so many times before, Rox just flipped 'em by the wayside. At about this same time, Dave Ware was trying to set new land speed records while Staffords' sports page buffs - Mark F., John G ., Kurt J ., and Tim D. tried to keep track of Dave in the arrest columns. Now what's that you say, Dorita breath; who were some of the antagonists? How about Jim L. and David B. first thing in the morning? Too bad Nancy and Jackie couldn't take the heat, but that's probably why they' ll never have a woman president, either. " ... and the winner is Jim W. The "Beav" ran away with the Student Body Elections, while John Rapier just plain ran away. Well, sports fans, enough of this futile attempt at satire; so like Jody Ruckman said (not in so many words, however), "Let's get serious." Join us now as we return to yesteryea r featuring some favorable (a nd some not so favorable) pictures, stories a nd advertisements which should shed new light on the question of, "TC - Myth or Reality?

The Governor was not entirely amused; Mr. Franczyk was subsequently arrested, and sent back to tend bar in the Portuguese section.of New Bedford, Mass. "I find it enjoyable meeting and teaching students with widely differing personalities. It's probably the most challenging aspect of teaching. Most of the time the challenge is dealt with successfully, but there are always those times when rapport fails miserably. Of course, no one gets along with everyone, and this task is even more difficult when teachers are seen as sole judge of a student's academic worth. On the whole, my contact with the students has been and is, rewarding and enjoyable. The reward is always enhanced when friendships result." By the way has anybody seen Donna? Ms. Mary Vanderbur teaches English l 0 and various electives. She is invol ved with the Tri-Center Speech and Forensics program, which enjoyed outstanding success this year. All students participatin g in large group contest we nt on to state. Of the seven selections taken, three received I ratings. In individual speech, fourteen speakers went to State; seven received I's. Ms. Va nderbur also enjoyed working with the volleyball and track tea ms, which were a lso ~x tre m e ly successful this yea r.

Throughout this year the French club has faced seve ral . new experiences. Jn Septem ber, 5 french st udents accompani ed by Madame Gambs went to the Auberge de Juenesse at Ackley, Iowa . Here they spoke onl y French all weekend , used French currency to buy things at the Boutique, and ate a ut hentic French food. Othe r activ ities included singing, cooki ng, fenci ng, play ing boules, a nd participation in skits a nd the carniva l. From March 4-10, the French club celebrated foreig n la ngu age week. During thi s week, the students made crepes and french posters, wore french sweatshirts a nd t-shirts a nd buttons, a nd sold imported candy. Through these experiences the french classes have grown better acqua in ted with the french culture. Jn the summer of 1983 , S hei la Doyle, through the North Atla nti c Cul tura l Excha nge League program, spent a month in France. She stayed with a fam il y in Orl ea n, abou t 20 mil es from Pa ri s. High li ghts of her trip included visits to Bretag ne (Mont St. Michel), the Loire Va lley (fa mous fo r its cas tl es), and Pa ri s with its Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomph e, Sacre Coeur , Montmartre (the arti st secti on) , a nd les Jn va lides (where Napo leon is buried).

" At the beginning of the school year , you can hear alot of " FF J J " dictation drill s from the typing room . Later students typing "to the beat" of mus ic like Camptown Races can be heard . So alot of clicking of keys , tripping over typewriter cords , sweating, ohs and ahs , sighs of relief, frustrating look s , and smiles of s uccess come for thi s department. " The Bus iness students competed in the Business Competition Contest at Wayne , Nebraska thi s year and received a FIRST place trophy out of 26 sc hools who compe ted . They also won a $500 Pres idential Scholarship for their efforts. The Bus iness Law class made the ir annual trip to the Pott. County Co urthou se, courtroom and the jail. Guest speakers included lawyers , cops , robbers, judges, real estate agents, insurance agents , etc. New to the departme nt thi s year were microcomputers.

The inex haustive energy and enthusiasm of this year's squads brought them many va lu able accom plishments. The most valuable achievement was an acqui red ability to drastically improve their financial state of despair. For the first time in TC history, the cheerleaders were spending money they actua lly had 1 With the extra funds they were able to give more support to the teams by giving them spirit-raisers such as : Christmas srock ings , cand y bars, potato chips, cards, etc. Cheering at games is not the only function of a cheerleader, many hours of extra work and creative brainstorming are a big part of the cheerleader's job. The creativity of this years squads were clearly spelled out across the lobby wa ll in lightn ing bolts. A: ti mes the gals felt they were in over their heads, especially Rena and Vicki as they cut ou t their lOOOth lightning bolt. The basketball cheerleaders got an extra thrill , th is year when they were all owed to accompany the girls basketball team tO the state tournament. The girls had a good time and were especial ly than kful to survive the state tournament game without one of the crash landings that they became so famous for. Over all , the cheerleaders had a year that was just as successful as the teams they were cheering for 1 R.

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

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

Coming off a 1985 26-4 record and stopped in first round of Districts, this summer's Baseball team qualified for state with a 11-2 SubState win over Rock Valley, The regular season 22-5 Trojans, were led by Seniors: Steve Divin .500; Brian Witt .393; Kevin White .302; and Harlan Tribune All-Area Brian Flemming .436. Both Juniors Scott Krumwiede .480 and Matt Brooke .356, led the Trojans in RBI's with 42 and 41 respectively. Brian Witt led the pitching staff wi th a 10-1 record and a 2.08 ERA, followed by Matt Brooke's 8-2 with a 2.68 ERA, and Scott Krumwiede's 5-2 and 2.33 ERA. 104 ��Girls finish 16th in STATE Even though the Trojanettes lost 4 games at State, they were very close in all but one game. They lost their first game to Des Moine Lincoln 2-0; the second to Boone 3-2, in extra innings; the third to St. Mary's (Remsen) 5-0; and the last to Hubbard 2-1. The Trojanettes finished the season at 30-11 . However, the remarkable thing to remember, is that the girls qualified for State in 3 major and one minor team sports. Congratulations Coaches!!! �B oy's STATE Class 2A Bunner-Up Steven Divin; Steve Krumwiede; Kevin lVhite make All-Tournement Team Down 8-4 in the opening game at State against North Tama, Krumwiede hit a 370foot home run to ignite a 3run rally in the 6th. After adding 3 more runs in the top of the 7th, Witt relieved Krum and with bases loaded and one run in, got a strikeout and fl ball to end the game at 10-9. T-C was in the finals!! Giving up 16 walks (8 scored) proved costly as the Trojans dropped a 16-4 contest to Kee (Lansing). Although trailing only 5-4 in the 5th , a seven run inning clinched the victory for Kee. The Trojans finished the season at 28-6.

We made tracks through the hallways, in the classrooms, in the athletic record books, and on stage and canvas. The path we traveled was well lighted with good friends, good memories, and caring teachers. At the time our tracks were laid, we were unsure of our destination, but we now realize we were on the right track. Whether you took the beaten path, or "chose the one less traveled," join us now on our journey through the 1986-87 year.

"From their freshman year to their senior year, those kids improved greatly," reflected Head Coach Gaylord Schelling. Many players made up this team, however the core of the team was the returning seniors. Among this strong team there was an outstanding senior, Scott Krumwiede. Scott ended the year with 14 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, 5 fumble recoveries, 112 tackles, 753 yards rushing, and 8 kickoff returns for a total of 270 yards. "Scott is one of the greatest game players I have ever coached," commented Coach Schelling. Several other seniors added greatly to this season's success. Dale Hansen, 2 touchdowns and 42 tackles; Joe Ring, 2 touchdowns and 5 tackles; Ron Barrier, 44 tackles; Todd Lehan, 29 tackles; Scott Cattoni, 27 tackles; Kevin Gunderson, 12 tackles; Rodney Schultz, 8 tackles; and Sean Jepsen, 1 tackle. Also included in this success story was junior quarterback Tim O'Neill. Tim ended the season with 160 passes attempted, 73 completed for 1,110 yards. Six of his passes were for touchdowns - 3 by Scott Krumwiede, 2 by Joe Ring, and 1 by Dale Hansen. "Tim has the highest total yards passing since I started coaching at T-C," commented Coach Schelling. The 86-87 Trojan team had a season record of 7 wins and 2 loses, and they ranked third in the WIC. This 7-2 season was the second best since Coach Schelling started coaching at T-C. "The senior's s.e ason was keyed around a great victory over Treynor which gave them a strong desire to win on their way to a great record," concluded Coach Schelling. 22 - " ' \ Football Above: Jerry Green (42) prepares to make a hit on Todd Weddum (83), AvoHa, as Corey Newland (62), Tom Ne lso n (46) and Todd Joh nson (79) pursue.

When Coach White called his first captains meeting by hanging a note in the locker room telling the girls that it was time to make plans fo:r_: a "Championship Season," someone wrote "Get Serious" across the note. After the team won their first eight starts, however, the doubters began to take notice. The team really "started improving after their loss to Treynor," remembered Coach White. "In nine of our last ten games we were a very good team. Early in the season it was six individuals playing, but at the end of the season, it was a team effort. In the State Tournament game against Mediapolis we were the better team, but Mediapolis played the better game."

Director Bob Hilligas and Mrs. Carole George attended~ dance workshop with a couple Golden Girls, and after the workshop while eating at a Burger King, came up with the " Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" idea . " The show took off from that one idea," explained Mr. Hilligas. The production began with Halloween. In a sometimes smoke-filled room, Dracula called his tombstones and Trick or Treaters to dance to "Thriller." From there we traveled to Grannies for Christmas. Even though "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" we were still able to have a happy New Year, Chinese style. With acrobatics and a dragon we danced to "You Know I Love You." The Queen of Hearts was mad on Valentine's Day but the gang from Alice in Wonderland sent her spinning.

This meeting was a smaller version of the National Convention, and focused on leadership also. Although it was a struggle to find time for Chapter activities this year, the organization's members took part in the following activities: selling Valentine's Day flowers, sponsoring a dance, hosting a faculty breakfast (with the FFA), and experiencing a night in the Orient at the Mt.

But, it also let the s tudents use their imaginations and creativity, and hel~ed them become more concerned with current eve nts. I would also like to say that the 'little brownoser' did exceptionally well at making posters, and everyt hing else also." -Creek "Government isn't really that tough if you do your work. There is a lot of homework, though, and the teacher is really strange." -J arel Jen sen 'To tell you the truth, I've learned more in Government than all my classes put together.

J A Year in the Life Students Pick What's Hot in '87-'88 Your Trojan roving reporters went to work in fall 1987, asking you what was tops in everything from food to rock groups. Every student was polled and the results are here and on the following pages. Check out how your favorite measured up with the rest of the student body. Determining the favorite rock group was not so easy since the most named group, "Boston," racked up only 18% of the total votes . Of 53 other groups named as favorite group, a new group, "White Snake," came in second. "Bon Jovi" wound up third with a meager 9% of the vote . Shelli Jensen, senior, exclaimed, "They're great!"

Lee's jeans came in second with 20% . These two well known brands were given stiff competition from the newest brand, Pepe, which chalked up 14% . Freshman Kyle Koob voted for Levi's because "it's the brand that fits!" I P ·izza. " The only real food, " according to junior K.risti Brich. won the poll for favorite food b y a landslide. receiving 60% of the votes. Tacos and steak came in second and third, way behind pizza with 9% and 6% respectively.

Students picked t he worst c ar they could have misfortune of owning. The winner (or loser if you own one) is the Volkswagon . "They're too small and they vibrate when they're started, " was the most c ommon remark made about the famous " Beetle. " Ford was a close second; Chevy was t hird . So next time you see a VW bug, "Slug Bug!" You've had a rough day; you're upset and fed up with the whole world. What do you do? Reach for an ice cold soda! What's the most common pop drunk at T-C? Thirty percent of the students here chose Mountain Dew. Why? "Because it tastes great!" Ray Wellman, a sophomore, said. Pepsi was a distant second with 19% followed by Classic Coke at 15%, with many others straying behind. You've gone to the city to "cruise ." Yo u and your friends decide to stop for a bite to eat. Where do most T-C students stop? Sixty -two percent chose Burger King, with Taco Bell coming in second and McDonald's t hird . "I like the Whopper!" says senior Ronda Elias. So next time you want to find some friends and join in the fun , go to Burger King and c how down! 4 ~· .. Features �When you're in the mood to "shop 'til you drop," or if you've gone into town for a "purpose," most likely you've browsed in Richman Gordman . Twenty-two percent of the students at T-C picked R.G. as their favorite store. "They have good variety and quality - a lot to look at," said junior John Ferris.

Features 5 �Preparing For the Future People often think of college prep courses as classes that constantly drill a person on difficult, mind-boggling formulas and math problems. This is not true . A college prep course is a course that helps a persq,n get ready for some of the ideas and problems which they will meet Jn college . Tri-Center has quite a few college prep classes. Harold McKercher's Chemistry, Physics, Algebra, Trigonometry and Math Analysis are a few. Mr. McKercher maintains that people who take these classes are the students who are more studious and interested in academics. He tries to teach his classes like a college professor, which is very important for students to experience before they actually go to college . Some English courses that are considered college prep according to Ron Elliott, the guidance counselor, are Research Paper, American Literature, and Literature and Composition. Two previous classes, World Literature and Advanced Writing, were combined to form Lit/Comp. Research paper teaches students how to write papers for both high school and college. The latter two expose high school students to some of the works that will be deeply studie,d in college English courses. The Social Science department Chemistry students ask Mr. McKercher for help on a difficult p roblem . Left to right: Steve Lemonds, Lisa Kenealy, Mr. McKercher. Ethan Matthew s, and Greg Jones. offers three college prep classes : Sociology, Psychology, and American Government. Mr. Elliott, said tha t American Government is a "left-handed" college prep course because of its difficulty and not its content. The last colleg e prep class is French . A foreign language is required by almost e very college in t he United States. Any French that is taken now will ultimately help the college bound stude nt in the future. Graduating seniors will have taken more college prep courses than they realized because the require ments are based on g iving students options for future education.

We Waited All Our Lives To Drive That Car! After waiting their whole lives to drive a car, most high school students found out that their first time behind the wheel was not all that fun. Most admit that "frightening" is a bett er word to describe the experience. Deanna Olson, a junior, recalls tha t she had trouble going backwards . Going forward was easy, but in backing up she almost hit a t errace in her grandfather's cornfield , while practicing driving . Driving well is not rea lly easy. says George Sorensen. d river's educ ation instruc tor. A long trip can be very t iring as senior Candy Pitts discovered when she almost ran off the road at Lost Island Lake near Lake Okoboji. "My mom and I were taking t urns driving and I got sleepy while I was driving," said Candy. Senior Cecilia Leaders had to come t o a quick stop by using both feet on t he brakes at once because her dad yelled a t her. "He was trying t o teach me to drive. I did something wrong; he yelled and I stomped on the brakes with bot h feet! " Loose g ra vel was a problem for Gayla Laackman, a junior who went into a ditc h on the way t o work. "Wha t w as even worse, a fter I g ot t o work, I hit a p arked car! " Aft er a ll these "frightening" e xperienc es, none of t hese students are w illing to bec ome permanent passengers . Everyone makes mistakes~.iif/ Features ~ 7 �Being in Your Right Mind in A "Drinking p op tastes just a s good using your left hand. maybe evern better." joked Michelle Arbaugh. sophomore . Left-Handed Way A group which is considered a minority in this world is the left handers. Only ten percent of our students have this "gift." It is a scientific fact that the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. So technically, people who write with their left hand are the only people in their right mind. • Being left -handed comes in real handy, pardon the pun, if someone doesn't understand how to bowl in P.E. class. After everyone has started, they will often get special help from the teacher, because they are usually the only oddball who is left-handed. In some cases they may even become the best in the class. one will get "pie" in their face. Another big problem can be when people expect them to switch and become righthanded. "I hated it when one of my elementary teachers tried to correct me of being lefthanded, by scolding me every time during penmanship class," recalled Martie James, a senior . With all these problems, it would be easy to think that lefthanders would hate to be outcasts. But as senior Erin Harlow bragged, "We like to be different." So for those of you who are left-handed, stand tall and be proud, because you are one of the few in this world who dare to break from the crowd. " There are some real disadvantages to being 'wronghanded,' " remarked freshman, Jodi Schultz, " especially teasing." Loved ones can make being left-handed a handicap, but usually it is said as a joke and should be taken as such . Problems c an arise at meal t ime, especially since they must sit on the end. This is so if they get crazy with their elbows, no ABOVE: Junior Deon Killpack . busy doing his home wo rk in first hour study hall. proves ho w useful being left-handed c o n be especia lly whe n a person Is " up against a wall." .

It's Not Easy to Please 200 Choosy Eaters Most people at our school don't even give a second thought to the hot lunch program . Gary Ratigan, principal, tells us on the first day of school how we should appreciate our lunch program. This always brings a g ood laugh but Deanna Leinen found out that our lunch is like French cuisine compared to the lunches she had at another school. The lunches we are served are prepared by ten women . Joan Justice and Joann Knott are the first to arrive at 6:00 a.m. Then the rest come at various times before first lunch. All of the meals are planned by Herma Wilson. "I love my work and I wouldn't like to work anywhere else. I love kids and have been working here for 22 years," says Herma . She feels like some of the kids are her grandchildren because she has served their parents, too. The favorite foods of the kids are the ones that the cooks most enjoy making. Herma said it is very hard trying to please 200 different students, but she feels she does a good job of mixing foods for variety . Herma said that she usually serves certain combinations of foods more often because they are well liked. Sometimes certain meals have to be cut down because of prices or government supply. Right now the salads are being filled with less lettuce because of the outrageous price, she said . The beef is provided by the government, so meals with beef have to be regulated . Herma says the most popular meals are pizza, chicken nuggets, and the famous chili. She was gracious enough to let "The Trojan" have the sec ret recipe to her highly acclaimed chili. So to all you chili-lovers: Bon Appetit!

Does everyone dread them, or is this universal dread simply a figment of our _ imagination? It's rather easy to tell on Mondays who is having a good day and who is not. Often ones who look half asleep, or rather, half dead, are still recovering from their weekend activities. Classes seem to last forever and clock watching is very common . When the bell rings many drag themselves to the next class to suffer through another long period. "I hate Mondays; I have to go back to school!" groaned Anjanette Holstein, a junior. Still, there are others who, much to everyone's disbelief, are happy and to some extent actually cheerful on this uneventful morning. Apparently each person makes Mondays either fun or awful, depending on their attitude and maybe how their morning has gone. Sophomore John Ratigan happily noted that "you're only four days from Friday!" Many people don 't realize how fun a Monday can be, but if they give it a try, they may find thE3mselves enjoying the day after all. Remember, as the saying goes, "If you're smiling, it makes people wonder what you've been up to!" Proving how exciting French Ill can really be, Candy Barrier, a junior, smiles brightly on the Monday afternoon before Christmas vacation . 10 Senior Kirby Pauley gives on exhausted grin ofter writing for Lit/Comp on a Monday.

Or waited until the night before to start t hat English report that was assigned six weeks ago? Everyone procrastinates, and we mean everyone, including teachers. Kent Prescott said he p uts off reading his stud~nts ' papers. Or is it just handing them back , hmmm? What c auses postponing everyt hing until our grades are threat e ne d? ' 'Laziness! ' ', according to Sandy Parks, junior, who admits to being the ultimate p rocrastinator. The teac her a ssigns homework in the middle of the period, plenty of time to get it done, but what do you do? You close your book and talk to the person next to you . During t his time you convince yourself you will do the work in study hall . Study hall has come and gone and your assignment still lies unfinished. What to do? Take it home, you say? Great idea if you plan to do it, but w e all know better. You take your books home, but t hey never make it past the door. You a lso have remembered that today is Tuesday, so " Moonlighting" is on . So you wat ch t he never- ending saga of Maddie and David. Then you're off t o bed. The home work remains untouche d , collecting dust. Morning arrives with a new light upon things. You have realized it is a day of unfinished homework. You rapidly do your work unt il a ll is completed only to get to class to hear the teacher say, " This was only practice. We won't be handing t hese papers in. " What?! You worried yourself for nothing! Next time you'll know better. Or will you? Features ·--~=« 11 �How Sweet It Is! When a person becomes sixteen, their life seems to change suddenly in many ways. They are no longer a measly fifteen year old, but now they have grown into a responsible sixteen year old . Most associate this big event with getting a driver's license. This is probably the best part, considering they will no longer have to ride with parents or beg rides off friends . Going to get the license can be a matter of life and death. Many are usually at the Department of Transportation as soon as it opens on their birthday . If for some reason they were unable to go at that time, they may decide to miss out on a little school. Dan Pieper, a junior, still remembers how he skipped out eighth hour to get his " survival kit." But he was just an anxious sixteen year old, so all is forgiven. "Our parents seem to have changed too," remarked April Martin. "They have become more trusting, not only with driving, but also by allowing us to go out more with friends and out on dates," she said. Sometimes this can be somewhat of a deception, because friends also recognize your new found freedom and may take advantage of it. Turning sixteen probably isn't as major as graduating, but it is a big step in a person's life . Upperclassmen will tell you, "Enjoy the rewards of this achievement, because you survived all those years as being dependent on others . Now grab hold of this small amount of independence and run with it .'' " Look what I gotl" Becky Graham, a sophmore. seems to say as she holds her prize possession. car keys . �They Have A Mind of Their Own Having a twin is not as much fun as many people think, agreed T-C's three sets of twins: sophomores Jay Dollen and Jon Dollen; Lynette Thomas and Janette Thomas; and freshmen Terri Schuett and Sherri Schuett. Their biggest complaint is people who mix up their names. Although Sherri and Terri are fraternal twins, "Most people have to really know us to keep us apart," said Sherri. Terri · remarked, "We don't even dress the same, but it still doesn't help." Jay, the identical twin to Jon, said that it is hard to have a true identity for themselves . The good thing is that "You have someone to talk to all the Jon and Jay Dollen stop at t heir lockers on their way t o catch the bus. time," declared Lynette, identical twin to Janette . While Terri Schuett noted it is nice to be able to share your clothes. Jay said in second grade he and Jon switched shirts in the bathroom to fool the teacher. "She was fooled too, for a while. But she figured it out by afternoon!" Even though they suffer an identity crisis, Terri confessed that after all, " It is fun to fool people sometimes, which is one of the fun things about being a twin ." These twins have found out through experience that having a double is not always bad. In fact most agree that they are luckier than others, because they have a permanent friend.

Features 13 �Going to School and Holding Down a Job: We Work Hard for the Money A growing number of students are working at after school jobs to earn extra money. While most find that money is plentiful, time to do homework, to sleep, or time to just plain relax is in short supply. They work in local businesses such as Dan's Delight in Neola, the Minden Meat Market, and Elias' Grocery in Persia. Or some drive to Council Bluffs to work in large stores such as K-Mart or HyVee. By working several hours after school and weekends, some work as much as 40 hours a week, according to senior Brad Wilson who works at Bilcon, Inc. in Neola. Brad hopes to increase his 20 hours to 35 or 40 by working weekends . Although working often forces students to sacrifice participation in extra-curricular activities, during the wrestling season senior Kirby Pauley manages to work long hours on the weekend at Sutherland's in Council Bluffs. "When I'm working, it's not easy to keep up on both homework and sleep," said Kirby. Not all students have the same reason. for liking their work. Junior Travis Justice enjoys working at the Kopper Kettle because the people are great to work for. While junior Brian Schuett, who works at the Meat Market, and sophomore Dawnette Meyer, who works at ABOVE: Sophomore Karen Brich makes and serves gallons of ice cream at Dan's Delight.

Sophomore Keith Wilson picks up extra money by playing guitar and singing in the " Wilson Wranglers," a country-western band which his father Lavern Wilson has organized. "We play gigs whenever we can," said Keith. " Lots of times we work benefits to get the exposure." Getting a job is simply a matter of being alert and talking to friends who may know which businesses are hiring. Travis's advice is to " be honest on your application blank and follow up on it afterwards!" �~ ,, ' ' ' JI • ,\ • ' • . . ,,':.. .

"However, we have a bad habit of judging a season on whether or not we go to state tournament . But that is determined by just one game," she said . The team won the Western Iowa Conference Championship for the fourth time, first place in conference tournament, first place in Shelby Tournament for sixth consecutive year, first place in Harlan Tournament for second consecutive year, qualified for regional finals for fourth consecutive year, and have been sectional champs for five years . Top setter of the season with 98% was senior Nancy Frieze who also had to sit out a few matches. "Nancy's ankle injury forced us to go from a 5- 1 offense to a 6-2, with senior Tracy Martens and junior Deanna Olson, which worked well for us," said Coach Conway. Junior Karen Jennings was the top blocker avera ging 2 .17 per game, breaking the previous year's record set by Rachel Hall, class of '87.

This year Trojan football was like no ot her. Due to graduation, we lost players in hard-toreplace skill positions. Injuries to key players held the season to a respectable 6-3 record, but not one the team is used to.

" This caused us more of a mental problem than a p hysical one," said junior Jerry Green . disappointing loss was to Logan; we should have won that one ." This season was the worst one for injuries - ankles, shoulders, knees--" We've never had so many before," said Coach Schelling. Brad Wilson was hurt the entire season, which affected his running, he said . Our most outstanding player was Tom Nelson who was named second team All-State linebacker by the Des Moines Register. Tom was also named second team All-Southwest Iowa, and first team all Western Iowa Conference. Other honors went to Brad Wilson who was named first team All-Conference linebacker, and Alan Wellman, named first team AllConference tight end .

If you can build those up, you can do anyt hing!" duties, so Coach Brooke and assistant Coach Bill Larsen seek the help of several diligent female underclassman who are called Mat Maids. This year's Mat Maid Squad consisted of freshman Lia Carper and sophomores Mindy Cook and April Martin. Jobs of the Mat Maids include keeping stats, attending all of the practices to help out and also cleaning the mats. Lia Carper comments. " It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!" Early in the season the team held a four and one record. The team worked hard all season, but in the end, 'they closed with four and five record . By next year they should be pretty awesome!

All their hard work certainly did pay off at tournament time , when at district the boys took fourth, and the girls pulled off first . The girls then went on to gain a third place in the state tourney . "We were very pleased with the girls' bowling and disappointed for the guys at the same time, " commented Coach Susan Johnson.

Head Coach Bill Larsen and Assistant Coach Gaylord Schelling had thirty-two out . Of those thirtytwo, twenty were sophomores. This is very good considering that track is not a real major sport in small schools like ours, said Coach Larsen . Coach Larsen said that their best meet was at the Underwood Invitational. They placed second with a total of ninety-six points . This was twice as many points scored at a meet since Coach Larsen has been here. The team had several strong events this year. Among them were the 4 x 100 meter relay . Jerry Green, Joe Vetro, Scott Johnsen, and Just in Holstein had a best time of 46.9 seconds in that event. Robby Larsen ran the 3200 meter run in a time of 10:43 :00, breaking the school record of 10:54:00 which was held by Rodney Meinke. Joe Vetro was also strong in the 200 meter run.

The season started out with sixteen girls and then eight were out due to injuries or illness, only one due to track . All of the rest were from outside accidents . Many of the girls like the competition of track but others use it for conditioning for other sports they participate in . Coach Pat Dalton commented that he thought the girls' best meet was at Treynor where they finished fifth and the girls ran their best times. Coach Dalton also mentioned that the team had good talent but they just needed to keep the runners healthy. Some of that talent was in Karen Jennings. She threw the discus 127' 3" . It was a ne,YJ school record and qualified her for state part icipation . Ronda Elias was also recognized by the Harlan newspaper for her 16.3 second time in the hundred m eter hurdles.

Grinning as he walks o ut the door on re leased time . Tom Nelson brags about being able to leave early . I Released Time: Is It Using Your Time Wisely? Although a growing number in the community disapprove of released time for seniors, it remains as popular as ever with this year's senior class, says Mr. Ratigan . Being on released time means getting out of school one period early or, coming one period late in the morning. James Meyer commented, "You have time to do what you want, and don't have to be in school as long." Not every senior qualifies for released time; they must have a schedule which enables them to take classes and credits needed to graduate. Released time can't affect any activities in which they are involved. This year twenty-three of the fifty-two seniors are on released t ime. Most take released t ime at the end of the day rather than early because of after school jobs . Appreciating the benefits, Brad Wilson says that the day goes much faster now. It can help seniors get to their jobs earlier, or they have more time to relax between school and work . It also encourages the seniors to be more responsible and rewards them at the end of their school years . The abuse by some released time seniors has caused the community to dislike the idea . Some people think students should spend all their time in school. Mr. Ratigan agrees that "some students don't register for the classes they should, but instead, take released time." There are great advantages to having released time, but it is a privilege and can be taken away. So enjoy it while you can! Before Brad Wilson leaves o n released time. he and Richard Witt discuss the event s of a n exhausting day. �Government: Is It Friend or Foe? We have all heard the negatives of Government: the class is hard; everyone gets a poor grade; and the teacher is a walking, breathing hurricane. But what positive things have we heard? Is there any good in American Government? Is Government, one of the classes everyone must take and pass, really as hard as a decade-old cookie, neglected and abandoned at the bottom of a cookie jar? "Yes, it's as hard as everyone says! Believe everything you hear!" states senior Ronda Elias. Teacher Ernest Abariotes seems to disagree: "The class itself is not hard; the students make it a difficult class. They don't take it seriously enough. They really need to apply themselves ." It seems nearly impossible to escape the jaws of this class without learning something . "You need to learn something if you expect to pass Government!" agree Tammie Pondering over a new development in Government. Mr. Ernest Abariotes analyzes the situation carefully . He then required all seniors to attend the presidential caucus of their choice . Green and Valerie Beatty. What is Government really all about? "Government teaches students how our government not only works, but how it does not work," claims the teacher. So Government has a few ups and downs; doesn't everything? For example, how many times have you actually enjoyed using a hand dryer in a public restroom instead of paper towels? It may take longer, but it's more sanitary. So don't wipe your hands on the seat of your Levi's! Government is the ·same way . The assignments may be long; but if you take the extra time, it's worth it, right? So, underclassmen, if thinking about Government has got you in a noose, don't fret. "It's really not as bad as everybody says it is!" declares senior Alan Wellman . We all must wade through the murky waters of American Government; we may as well make the best of it!

Do you ever complain about long assignments, or too many t ests? Do you ever feel that your teacher's only purpose in life is to make you overdose on homework? Well, stop complaining! Our teachers don't get enough credit . Teachers have to check every assignment we hand in, not to mention we only have to do one, while they have to grade e veryone's. That's about thirty t imes our assignment. Teachers are also babysitters. All day long, five days a week, not counting holidays, they put up with our not-so-polite antics. And for what? It couldn't be for pay, and personal satisfaction is out. Who could be satisfied with t rying to control ignorant, uneducable adolescents? The obvious reason is each and every one of our teachers here at Tri-Center cares, no matter what you think, and is definitely dedicated. Or have you ever visited the principal's office for all the wrong reasons? Maybe it was the superintendent's office. You may feel uncomfortable there, but they can 't be having fun either. It isn't the greatest job to be the bad guy to students when it wasn't their fault you were even there. Many of us don't realize that they have so much on their shoulders. They run the school which is a very tough thing to do. Superintendent Melvin Rogers We may not appreciate you as much as we should, but deep down inside our little black ungrateful hearts there is a soft glow that lets you know that we really do care.

Broadcast March 12 on the Iowa Sports Television Network during the Iowa Girls' State Basketball Tournament, the show was the featured attraction of the evening, the result of hard work and a dream come true for director Bob Hilligas. They earned the top spot in the show, after the Parade of Champions and between games, which added a lot more excitement for everyone involved. Producing "Continental Cruisin' " took many hours of hard work from all twenty-six Golden Girls plus many others, including all third grade classes and some fifth graders who helped with managing props . Third graders dressed as alligators, kangaroos and other "wildlife" as background for the dances. Early morning practices for the Golden Girls required hard work and lots of patience .

Students are required to take six units or three years of these c lasses in order to graduate. 74 Academics The instructors are George Sorensen, John Brooke, and Ernest Abariotes. The history classes available are World History, American History, World Geography, and, oh yes. that class that everyone looks forward to - American Government! .

They are Accounting 1 and 2. Business Law. Personal Finance, Model Office. Data Processing. and Dffice Procedures. Glenda Kunze teaches the latter three classes which are offered to get you ready for a career or job in the business field . "Why not take a business class here at Tri-Center while it is 'free?'" is Mr. Johnson's advice. Besides, business classes could benefit you throughout your life," he said .

Success was what has come from hard work, determination, and long hours of practicing. Other successes this year were a second place trophy at Western Iowa Conference Jazz Contest; second place at Northwest Missouri State University Jazz Festival, and second place at Midland College Jazz Festival in Fremont , Nebraska. It seems that band has meant a lot to many of the members according to Shelli Jensen, senior, who said, " Throughout my years of high school, band has been fun , but with that fun comes a lot of hard work . I will miss jazz band the most, and the experience it gave me."

These students were Teresa Olofson and Jackie Hayden. Johnsen, Terry Wellman, David Lett, Cecilia Leaders, Susan Scoles, Caryn Sparr, Jackie Hayden, and Teresa Olofson . Speech adviser Mary Conway feels speech is an activity often "crowded out" by the extensive participation our school has in winter extracurricular activities . "Students have only so much time, yet what is more important than being able to speak effectively and intelligently?'' Contest Speech is open to high school students in all grades. Categories include: original oratory, humorous acting, dramatic acting, book review, after- dinner speech, poetry interpretation, literary program, extemporaneous speaking, improvisational acting, radio news broadcasting, storytelling, and e xpository address . Principal Gary Ratigan commented, " I think speech contest is a tremendous · opportunity for students to gain experience in public speaking .

Peer class coordinator Susan Johnson describes peer as "a safe place to talk about things teenagers need to talk about." Peer is basically centered on communicating . It also helps teens get to know themselves better, and gives them a better self -concept . You are only credited for taking one semester of peer, but many students find it beneficial enough to take it again. "I took peer over because I think it is fun . I really enjoy the c lass!

It's never easy trying to capture the memories of a school year, especially when we all perceive it differently. This was the first year Yearbook class met everyday, which helped a great deal with such a small staff. First step to creating the yearbook was to choose a theme and style. After much brainstorming the staff decided to have "Back in the High Life" as the book's theme. They thought it was a catchy phrase that fit Tri-Center's success in academics and sports. The layout style they chose resembles that of magazines. This allows for more feature writing, but still permits many pictures to be exhibited. "We felt this new style would be more explanatory," reported adviser Diana Benzing, " especially when a person is looking back when they are old and gray." Where does the money come from to support this costly venture? Ad selling is a big part that depends greatly on the surrounding community. "Selling ads was fun, but getting out of school was a big plus," grinned junior Maria Olson. Selling the book had a different plan of attack. How can you make someone feel that buying a book is really worth it? Easy, you have sales. " I never thought I would end up wearing a sandwich sign to get people to buy a book, but anything to get them to move," commented Heather Wingert, sophmore. One thing the staff was really proud of was their new darkroom, which enabled them to develop their own negatives and photos. Mrs. Benzing taught the basic ideas of developing and printing, then left it completely up to Cathy Dargin, junior.

"FHA is an experience I will always remember,'' commented junior Deanna Leinen . · flowers were sold to students during lunch periods . Changing the year's main selling drive wasn't easy, but the members finally decided to sell Current stationery products. This idea went over fairly well since they sold during Christmas when the never ending search for gifts and cards is on . Sarah Hansen, FHA advisor, remarked, " The selling part of any organization is hard, but with the. help of everyone you can survive." Holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day dominated the calendar for selling goods.

It was a pretty successful start for the next year," claims Kevin Matulka, Tri-Center FFA adviser. " What is FFA?!?" you may ask. Fut ure Farmers of America is a group which is interested in agriculture . But by being involved in FF A, you aquire ma ny other skills as well and, you grow as a person also. This g roup teaches its members a sense of responsibility and belonging which is something yo u can 't get from just an ordinary class . Our T-C FFA program is involved in many activities. For instance, this year they took a summer trip to Chicago to a national agriculture convention . They also visited a museum, several factories, and had a super time .

What time in the morning do you usually arrive at school on a normal day? 8:00? 8: 15? Well, for 20 to 35 students the time is much earlier on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This group of dedicated athletes are members of the 6: 15 A.M. Club . After the football season Coach Gaylord Schelling starts an early morning weight lifting program to help T-C's athletes build confidence, mental toughness, and resistance to injury for the next year to come . "We do weight lifting for the confidence it gives, as much as for the muscles," said Mr. Schelling. The difference between PE's weight training and the early morning lifters is that free weights are used in the early morning and machines are used in P.E. classes. Mr. Schelling said that his lifters were doing very well this year. Brad Wilson, by lifting 240 pounds, is close t o breaking the school bench press record of 255 pounds set last year by Rodney Schultz, c lass of '8 7.

Rogers �Looking at The Big Picture THE BIG PICTURE Each year Tri-Center changes and improves. This year was no exception. We not only grew and changed, but we gave our fans, communities, and competitors THE BIG PICTURE of how great we could become. Several major changes have come about this year, starting with acquiring our new principal, Mr. Brett Nanninga (pronounced "nanning"). Mr. Nanninga had many new ideas for the school, all of which were improvements. Mr. John Brooke noted that Mr. Nanninga was "out in the hallway more than the kids!" Another change was creation of a new drill team, ending a twelve year tradition of Golden Girls. The addition of eighth grade exploratory classes in the high school caused junior Tammy Bertelsen to claim that the eighth graders were "all right, as long as they didn't roam the halls!" EXECUTE! Drum majors Ann Lucke and Joanne Ring hold for the final gun at State Field Marching Contest. "BREAKFAST" T hat's what junior Ly nette Thomas called a roll and a can of Mr. Pibb. · MALE OR FEMALE?

Op'"iog " 3 �Big fun Student life The students at TriCenter were very dedicated. They put all of their effort into many different activities ranging from speech to sports. Senior Karen Jennings felt that "sports help people get prepared for the real world because of the competition." Another positive thing about the students was their attitudes. When a task was difficult, junior Teresa YUCK! Digging for gold? No, fres h man Shell y Shank, junior Kevin Ki ll pack, and senior Terry Wellman search hopelessly for Shell y's retainer. 4 Student Life Farley wouldn't give up. "I like things with a challenge! After I have finished a difficult project, I feel really great about myself." The students' lives centered aimost exclusively around school and its many activities offered to students. Junior Heather Wingert sighed, "I truly believe that I am at school more than I am at home!" WAKE UP! Taki ng a break from stud ies, juniors Ray Well man an d Heath Rodenburg, and senior Dan Pieper snooze in t he library. �HUNGRY? Sophomore Daryl Sparr shows off his cookie dough made in Food Prep. FAR OUT DUDES! Mr. John Burke is all decked out for Homecoming slave day. RIGHT ON That's what Bob Shank, junior, says to Tri- Center. ICK!! Mr. Bob Johnson was forced to "kiss the pig" by Mrs. Tami Harman during Collosus. Student Lifo " 5 �''Hold on to the Night'' Fun follies With dimmed lights and an atmosphere filled with anxious thoughts, the 1988 Homecoming Court was ready to "Hold on to the Night." As Mr. Bob Johnson and Mrs. Sarah Hansen announced Queen Maria Olson and King Jerry Green, the atmosphere was mixed with tears of joy along with disappointments. Happiness was also shared by Princess Jodi Sanders and Prince Joe Vetro. The entire student body enjoyed a dance, featuring American Music. When describing the purpose of Homecoming, Mr. Johnson explained, "It is to elect a King and Queen of the class and to recognize past royalty." Maria Olson said, "When they announced my name as Queen my first thought was no thought at all. I was just shocked." After a fun-filled week of showing school spirit, the whole student body now can tuck away the memories and can "Hold On To the Night" in their own special way. SLAVE DAY Senior Kevin Schmidt gives a big smile while portraying an M&M fo r slave day. GLAMOUROUS " I'm so embarrassed!

Stud•nt Lifo '11 7 �It's not all fun and games No gain Unfortunately sports weren't always fun and games. Minor aches and pains discouraged some athletes while a few serious injuries totally benched others. Feelings were hard to handle. Anger and depression were two feelings our injured players had. Senior running back Jerry Green who sat out most of the season after surgery for a knee injury • In • pain said, "At first I was really angry, but I've decided to fight back next year in college, with all my strength." Often some physical therapy was required, ranging from doing exercises to taking shock treatment. Therapy was not always easy, pushing themselves, and developing a "no pain no gain" attitude. Jerry's therapy was bike riding, straight leg raises, and NERVY PROBLEM A stret ch ed n erve in practi ce put a cast on junior b asketba ll pl ayer Lisa Huebn er , whi ch ca m e off in Dece mbe r. AN OUNCE OF P R E VENTI ON To ns of tap e and T.L.C. from basketball coach Ga ry Whi te was the st rategy to keep Karen Je nnings healthy. 8 ~ ~ Sports Injuries special shock treatment. After over two months of hobbling around on crutches, Jerry was as good as new. Senior tackle Scott Huebner's injured shoulder required him to lift weights, do special exercises and sit out two games. Coach Mary Conway felt lucky that the only volleyball injury was senior Karen Jennings. During a game she spiked the ball, came down on her ankle, but only had a minor sprain. Some were just plain tough. Lisa Casson, junior, had her thumb severely pulled when a Griswold Tiger came storming by in softball. Despite her pain she came back and hit a homerun! Participating in sports was fun , but for a few, it also resulted in injury. �TENDONITIS A sore arm needed a wrap for a while for volleyball player Tonya Matthews, junior. HUGS CAN HELP A sisterly hug for Jerry Green from little sister Brenda, ·sophomore, helped make it all better, so what if the whole student body was watching! EXPERT CARE Eric Elverio, chief physical therapist at Jennie Edmondson Hospital treated junior Nick Gambs' stomped hand during the AvoHa game.

Many said earrings were for girls but if you asked some of the more daring guys, they disagreed. "Earrings are in!" said freshman Mike Burton, "along with Levis and t-shirts." "Some people just get up in the morning and don 't care if their socks match or if their shirts are wrinkled. While others wouldn't be seen without their B.D. Baggies shirts and Guess jeans," said junior Teresa Olofson. Many parents weren't aware of the demand to wear famous labels and they thought paying $20 for a shirt and $35 for jeans was outrageous. If you had asked today's teens, they would have told you that being in style was worth every penny. "A lot of people don't have a lot of money to buy a hundred different outfits, so you just have to learn to mix and match," commented junior Barb Watson.

Model office The new Model Office allowed many of our students to get a "head start" on the business world. Model Office class is a branch of typing and computers, with the sole purpose of teaching students what it is like in the real world. Offered two periods each day, model office this year consists of only female students. In the near future the instructor, Mrs. Glenda Kunze, hopes that males enroll. Mrs. Kunze feels that Model Office "gives the girls the opportunity to see what it's like in an actual office setting." Senior Jennifer Handbury enjoys Model Office. "It's a great opportunity to get to use the new computers and other equipment. The atmosphere is great, too!" New IBM computers, desks, and remodeling of the typing room was the result of a grant which the late Superintendent Melvin Rogers applied for to the State of Iowa. When asked what she most liked about the new Model Office, Mrs. Kunze replied, "Working with the girls, of course!" IT WORKED! Mrs. Kunze helps senior Darcy Warner with a problem during Model Office. 12 1" DILIGENCE T hat's Juanita's goal! Mod•I Offi" �Exploratory: Discovering new ideas The eighth graders got some first hand experiences looking at high school this year. This new program was called the eighth grade exploratory classes. Exploratory was brought about by a combination of teachers, the counselor, and administration. Sarah Hansen felt that "familiarized eighth graders with high school and gave them a smoother way to get used to this level." Many things were taught to the eighth graders during first period. Bill Larsen liked Exploratory because he could show and encourage the students to take shop. During Home Ee Mrs. Hansen taught cooking, sewing skills, and a bit of parenting. Home Ee was Dan Vetro's favorite class "because of the food!" Typing and some computer skills were taught by Glenda Kunze so that maybe some students would consider a business career. The last subject offered in this program was art taught by Randy Weise. He hoped to recruit more students for his high school art classes. Karla Killpack and Wendy Martens agreed that they liked Home-Ee more than shop. " Shop is for boys!" they both exclaimed. / TYPE TIME Eighth grader David O'Neill learned ba ic keyboarding in typing.

Many changes have come about ranging from remodeling to a new computer. · First, the new computer the school has purchased is primarily for student use. The program used for the computer is a careerbased program called the GIS or Guidance Information System. There are up to 1000 colleges and universities, and 12,000 different occupations available for student reference. Another major change took place over the summer when Mr. Elliott's office was expanded. There are now two separate rooms, an inner office and an outer office. The inner office is to be used for private conversations, and the outer office is to be used for computer and career choices. Mr. Elliott " hopes that students will eventually feel comfortable with the outer office and come in during study palls to check out careers." HELLO?

Is that all there is to a library? Not the library at T-C! Ranging from research to a sanctuary for study hall potatoes, the library was used and appreciated by a very large percentage of our student body. Junior Ray Wellman liked to do his homework in the library because you " didn't have to go as far to get information for reports. " When asked why she used the library, senior Cathy Dargin admitted, " I'd . probably get more done in study hall , but the libr..iry has a more comfortable atmosphere. Besides, I can talk to my • friends in t h ere!" Socializing was a major reason to migrate t o t he library.

Among the 216 band members from across southwest Iowa were fourteen T-C students. "The feeling you get from working in a group this large is great, but when you know that what you have worked for has been achieved, the sense of pride is too immense to even begin to explain, " said junior flag twirler Heather Wingert. Practices were scheduled three days in August and the band then marched in the Iowa State Fair Parade. The parade was known to the band members and directors as the "March of Fire" referring to the temperature of that day. Many members had a difficult time staying on their feet because of the heat. All the hard work and dedication did pay off, though. Reflected junior Natalie Hitchcock, " It was a lot of work, but Dallas was worth it!"

Melvin Rogers saw many changes including the addition of Minden in 1969 as well as completion of the new elementary building in 1978, which brought together all four elementary centers from Neola, Minden, Persia and Beebeetown. Through his professional associations, including serving for many years on the board of the Iowa High School Girls Athletic Union, he earned the respect of area educators. In 1962, Mr. Rogers became principal, serving as the first principal in the new high school building, built to accomodate the newly organized Tri-Center Community School District. Three years later he became superintendent and remained in that job until his death from cancer on February 3, 1989. He was 52. Students and staff will remember his wit, good humor and tireless devotion to our school. The Rogers family has established a scholarship in his name which goes to a senior who plans to attend Dana College in Blair, Nebraska. Jerry Green was awarded the first scholarship. INT ERIM SUPT .

TRASH T HE TRUCK The seniors got even with Mr. Ernest Abariotes as t hey dumped magazines, etc. on his t ruck. Full of surprises, ornery, ready, they're "outta here!" are just a few ways the class of 1989 could be described. After thirteen years of waiting for graduation day, many thought it would never come. But when it did on May 14, some didn't know if they were ready to leave. Karen Jennings said, "When you are going to school you know what to expect and you weren't scared to walk though the doors because you had been doing it for thirteen years. Now you don't want to walk out the door into the real world." School is a place where you know you will see your friends and you can get away with almost anything, but if you do get caught, punishment is minimal compared to the world outside. The class of 1989 will always be remembered as ornery and full of surprises, but this class is in a field of its own.

In order to learn, the students at T-C must have great teachers, and that's what we've got. The faculty worked hard each day to make our classrooms the best they can possibly be. "Teaching is not ordinary. Every time I teach psychology, even if it's the same course two times a year, it's never the same because there are different people," said John Brooke. Mr. Ron Elliott said that he did not begin at T-C until the fall of 1968. "Counseling was just then rising in popularity, and I was interested in it. TriCenter had an opening, so I took a shot at it and I've been here ever since." Some people may feel that teachers are there for the sole purpose of tea~hing, but the faculty made a point of doing more. They were friends to their students. Being able to communicate on a friendly basis made the classroom a more comfortable atmosphere. When asked what he most liked about teaching, Mr. Ernest Abariotes said, "I like the alumni. ·People who go on to college give us the neatest feedback!" ·~ HMMMM . .. NOW WHAT?

Coming in second in the West Harrison tournament in Glenwood was the high point of the season. Although the Trojans suffered in the beginning, they improved with the season. But "one of the main problems was not hitting the ball," said Coach S ~helling. In spite of the season record, some outstanding individuals were recognized for their efforts.

Injuries had a great effect on the season, with senior starters Joe Vetro, Scott Huebner sitting out games and running back Jerry Green having t o sit out most of the season after knee surgery. Despite injuries Coach Gaylord Schelling felt that the team still worked hard, and they displayed the results of that work in the last two games of the season against Treynor and AvoHa. "We didn't meet our goal, and that was disappointing, but we gave a good effort," he said. "Unity was a double edged sword for us. When we pulled together, we did well. When we didn't pull together , we suffered," said J oe. Even t hough it was a tough season, Scott felt that " being a t ri-captain and working with the coaches and all the underclassmen was a memorable experience.

Along with dedication wrestlers had to keep weight down and the weight classes filled. Because of doubling of weight classes, two seniors being the victims, Terry Wellman and Kevin Brich at 171 had to battle it out for the varsity spot, said Coach John Brooke. Arie Thomsen led the way with 456 team points for the team. In the tournament spot Arie did a fine job, placing first at W.I.C. tournament, first at sectional, making it possible to qualify for districts. Arie fell one match short at districts placing him at third, stopping his hopes for state. Coach John Brooke said the hardest thing about coaching is "finding a group of kids that will work hard and be dedicated, while for the kids it is getting mentally ready for each match and willing to endure the pain during a match."

DEDICATION Helena Rieber's face tells it all while running at State. "The 1988 Cross Countr team had its best year ever but it was a slow building process of conditioning a team," said Coach Brooke. At the beginning of the season people were asking who is Tri-Center? Then t hey got a big surprise from T -C boys and girls teams. The surprise was t hat two people placed at state, Rob Larson placing tenth along with H elena Reiber who placed twelfth. Going t o a state meet wasn't always a great experience. " Being t he only girl going," said Helena, "gave me a lot of pressure knowing that every step I took was watched." Rob would run t hree to seven miles a week and also ran in road races along with Chad Ferris. Rob's hard work paid off for him when he was named to the AU-State team. Sport. ~ 87 �Big switch makes for fifth straight trip to state tourney Twenty wins and four losses and a fifth return trip to the state tournament about says it all for the Trojanettes basketball team. Along with an outstanding record the Trojanettes had three valuable senior guards, Lisa Casson, Mindy Schafer, and Candy Barrier. The two starting forwards Tonya Matthews and Katie Leaders. These five individuals helped make Karen Jennings an All-Amerf:can. The season started out shaky with two successive losses. Then they ran up against two big teams which influenced Coach T. Gary White to make the switch and put Candy and Lisa into a guard court. "With Lisa and Candy in the guard court, I felt less pressured and more at ease," said Karen Jennings. Tonya Matthews said, "I learned that it is more important to play as a team and not as an individual." Karen received many honors throughout her high school career and after graduation Karen "Big Red" Jennings will be playing for Nebraska's Big Red.

The key to the success was four players averaging in double figures and seven squad members scoring 10 or more points in a game. Another key was the fact that these guys have been playing together since the fourth grade. The only senior, Travis Justice worked hard and could be counted on to come in and do the good job when most needed. Individual honors were given to three players: Ray Wellman, Jim Dermody and Rob Larsen at the conclusion of t he season. Ray received first team All-WIC, Honorable Mention All-State and, All-SWI Nonpareil and World Herald. J im and Rob both received second team All-WIC Honorable mention All-State and All-SWI By the Nonpareil and World Herald. This year they dedicated their season to the memory of Mr. Melvin Rogers.

Heather Wingert said, "You get a good feeling being a cheerleader and it is a very rewarding experience. You learn to get the student body involved and t o show school spirit.

Dri ll team started off slow but ended up with a second place win at Mid-western Spirit Performance contest. This year's squad nominated captain Maria Olson and co-cap tain Wendy Wedel to head the squad. Like all new things people were pesai mistic about drill team, thinking it -, ouldn't work because Golden Girls was a twelve year tradition, said senior Maria Olson. Junior Michelle Arbaugh said, "for the first year it went about the way it should - a slow building process. " Miss Linda England, coach, said she always wanted to be a sponsor of a drill team, since she was in cheerleading four years in high school and took twelve years of dancing.

Then the ads must be drawn out and designed. This years ad editor was junior Ashlee Martens. She did the organization of the ads, layed them out and also did some over-the-phone selling. The Trojan yearbook staff would like to take LEHAN'S Minden pharmacy owned by Joe and Connie Lehan this time to thank our advertisers for their contributions this year. Without our advertisers, our dream of having a great yearbook would not be possible. When asked why Sehierbrock's advertises in our book, Mary Pat Schierbrock said, "All of my kids went to school at Tri-Center. It's a great school and I feel it is our responsibility to support it."

Rogers along with students, staff and the Tri-Center community, were overwhelmed at the loss of T-C's superintendent. Besides being a prominent member of the community, Mr. Rogers was an administrator at T-C for many years. Mr. Rogers took pride in everything he did, but most of all in his school. "He was the reason T-C was so special. He trusted the teachers and let them take charge. His goal was to make Tri- Center better than OK. Melvin was a leader in every sense of the word," faculty member Susan Johnson said in tribute. Wit and a terrific sense of humor were a Rogers trait. Mr. Ernest Abariotes reflects on a particular story Mr. Rogers told on himself when he was at the beach in Florida. " It was great! The tide rolled in and flipped him over. When he emerged from the water, he had no bathing suit on. At prom the following year, we made sure to recognize him for his stunning rendition of "Moon Over Miami!" Tri-Center was Mr. Rogers' life, and there was almost never a day he wasn't here even on the week-ends. "Mr. Rogers wanted to make our students and faculty the best. He gracefully maneuvered people into doing great things so they would get compliments. He himself wanted to stay out of the limelight." said Ron Elliott. Each and every person that had the honor of knowing Melvin Rogers knew of a greatness and a dream becoming reality. His inspirational words and actions will silently fill the hallways of Tri-Center and the hearts of his friends forever. ROGERS HUMOR A keen wit and fine sense of h umor was a Rogers trademark.
