Terri Schuett said, "People don't think about bowling as a sport, but they are wrong, it is a great high school sport!

The boys placed third in a field of thirty-two . They bowled a 2521 (district 2494) behind first place Madrid and second place Storm Lake. Ryan Petersen led with a 512 series; and Gary Redinbaugh with a 510; Chris Corrin a 507 series; Chad Driver a 502; and Chad Ferris a 490.

From the beginning to the end, the boys had no t rouble in getting and keeping their ranking in Southwest Iowa until finally reaching number five at the end of the season. The boys had their first ever Western Iowa Confer- ence Championship at Missouri Valley. But then the team, led by five seniors, Rob Larsen, Chad Ferris, Eric Schnitker, Chad Brich, and Jesse Divelbess ran their last race of the year at Coon Rapids when they fell nine points short from Woodbine for qualifying for the state meet in Ames. Senior Rob Larsen caught t he sixth and final spot for a trip to Ames where he placed tenth. Sophomore Helena Rieber who placed second in district came in third at state.

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

They fell short of reaching the state tournament with a substate loss to Wall LakeView Auburn, 53-50. Cochran said leadership was the key. "It's always tough to see seniors leave, especially ones that work as hard as t ese. I'm really go- 36 Bo ys Basketball ing to miss these guys."

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

Kids can gain confidence in themselves here and are then ready for varsity . For most sports, the season lasts as long as the varsity. Hard work at this level usually spells success in the future . Junior Terri Schuett commented, "Playing junior varsity basketball helped me a lot. I think it really got me ready for varsity." QUICK PASS.

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

They kept on practicing for the Glenwood state competition and earned a I rating for their efforts. "I was disappointed about Clarinda, but getting a I at Glenwood was a great feeling," said senior Caryn Sparr. Next came Jazz band, another challenge for the music program.

Aft er six years of faithful service, Mr. Schive left T-C in August, 1990 to teach at Newton, Iowa. "Although I'm sorry to see him go, I'm happy for him.

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

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

With the addition of AutoCad. or computer drafting, a new "revolution" came to the Industrial Arts department. With a teacher who was excited about teaching this new class, Kevin Matulka, and a group of student s who were excited about learning a new skill, AutoCad was a nice WORK!

It made the work get done much faster, and made it much easier to accomplish . As a final comment, David Schnitker noted that, "the best part of Auto Cad is I don't have to work with pencil and paper anymore. Computers take all the work out of it and make it more enjoyable."

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

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

No experience required People always say that the best way to learn is by doing, and that's exactly the way Sarah Hansen, Randy Wiese , Kevin Matulka , and Bill Larsen teach their students . From baking a cake in Home Ee to learning to use a saw in Industrial Arts to creating a masterpiece in Art class, students learned through experience. These things couldn't be learned by reading or seeing a film . They had to be tested and tried to see how they work. Senior Janette Thomas agreed . "The BUSY. BUSY. BUSY. Tricia Matthews won't give up until she finishes the lost stitch. best part of taking a "hands on" class is that you end up w ith something that you'v e made and designed yourself,'' said Janette. One of the best parts of hands - o n learning is its spontaneity. From one day to the next, anything can happen: a dress made with two left sleeves or a mishap with the power tools or an almost dropped ceramic creation. To get a piece of the action, check out "learning by doing". There's never a dull moment. �THE MEANING OF LIFE.

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

Academics 77 �.At-Risk program serves many purposes This year the Department of Education required all school districts to have an At -Risk program in place for students who may be at risk for dropping out of school. "There is no strict definition for at-risk students," said Beverly Schelling. "They could be someone who has had a run-in with the law, or simply someone who is having trouble passing classes. This doesn't mean they are bad, wrong, or uneducated." THREE IS NOT A CROWD. Gretchen King ( 10). Darin Ring ( 11) and Randy Ring ( 11) know that studying together helps; peer tutoring was planned for fall. 1990. JUST ONE MORE TIME . Mrs. Schelling helps sophomore Brandy Lustgraaf with her homework from different classes. 76 ~ Resourc e/ At-Risk In place since January and still in the beginning stage, next year_Jhe At-Risk program will help students accept responsibility for their school work and behavior. It moniters student academic and social progress, an important link in the prevention of dropouts. In striving for the gold, we showed that everyone deserves a chance to be their best. That's t he real goal of the At -Risk program. �NOT NOW, l'M WORKING . Jennifer Schuning ( 10) and Chad Martens ( 11) are deep in thought. A CENTER OF LEARNING . Like an oasis, the Reading room provides a place for quiet study . Reading/resource: Places to build skills Reading-ResourcePeer Tutoring-Walk-in Center - what does it all mean anyway? And now, anyone can get help with homework? Change was in the wind this year with our special services . Some things were the same , however. Reading students were still selected for Mrs. Tami Harman's reading classes on the basis of Iowa Tests of Educational Development. "This is not the Resource Room ." said Mrs. Harman. Reading deals with reading in the content areas and study skills." "In the resource room, we look at the student's total academic program and plan a personal program for each student," said Mrs. Beverly Schelling . Peer tutoring was added to the plan for both of t hese programs for next year. " We tried a walk-in center at both the junior high and the high school," said Mrs. Diana Benzing, junior high resource teacher. The junior high added Teach er Assistance Tearns to deal with student problems. Because of t he changes, more students were reached and a greater effort was made to keep all students in the regular classroom, she said . DOING FINE . Mrs. Harman and freshman Melissa Davis work together to complete homework .

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

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

Though they were a little weary to see a summer of playing ball. basking in the sun, and having fun with their friends come to an end. most were anxious to get back. The students, faculty, staff. and administration at Tri-Center always enter the school year with many hopes and expectations in mind. Whether it be academics. music , or sport s there is a tradition of success in which everyone strives to keep going. Everyone wants to make the upcoming year better than the previous. Though everyone enters the year with their own hopes and expectations, they all have one goal in mind-to keep the tradition of success going. Everyone wants to do their best, and they are all willing to put in the time and effort it takes. Nobody is afraid of a challenge. There is always someone there cheering you on and encouraging you to give your best. " We all know each other, and are all real close. There's always someone willing to help." said Angie Corrin Because of this closeness we a re able to overcome our challenges. The tradition of success will keep going because though " WE ARE MANY.

There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware. This theme song from Disney World could easily descr ibe the life in any small-sized school in the world. At most small schools there is so much that the students and the faculty share because of the closeness between them. At Tri-Center we've laughed together, we 've seen each other's tears. All of us have a lot of hopes, and many · of us have some fears . Being part of a small school may make the world seem a little bigger, but it is time we're aware; it's a small world after all.

There were those few , however. that just seem to stand out in the crowd. It was those students who put that extra time and effort in to being the best in their fields . Those students s pent much time before and after school at practices and working on personal projects. They put in many hours at open gym and playing on USVBA and AAU teams. There were many students with- in Tri-Center who received numerous honors given throughout the conference and district. The students featured in this section were those who received special honors given throughout the state. For those students. dedication had a differen t meaning. They set their goals and never backed down from a challenge. They were determined to reach those goals. and because of their desire to achieve , they did become the best in thei r fie lds .

Along with the support from home, support for the troops overseas was displayed as well. �History in the making At Home and Overseas Patriotism soared during the war. and with it. so did the sales of the American flag . Many things can become part of a student's life while they are at Tri-Center. Whether it is in athletics, academics, music, or clubs, every student seems to create their own bit of history while at T-C. The 1990-1991 school year brought with it a chapter in the his tory books that probably will not be forgotten. There was not a student at Tri-Cen ter who was not aware of the many American troops in the Middle East for the gulf crisis. Some felt the anxieties of war. which officially started January 16, 1991, more intensely by having a loved one overseas. Others read about it in government. while some analyzed it in sociology. Many of us felt a surge of patriotism during the Star Spangled Banner before a game, from seeing yellow ribbons throughout the school, and songs on the radio that were dedicated to the troops. The Gulf War was not the only thing to make history that school year. The Trojan football team had a very successful season that got them a spot in the 1990 playoffs. The 1990 T-C volleyball team also had a wonderful year, getting to regional semi-finals. Tri-Center also sent talented students to vocal all-state and to the 1991 Cottonbowl Parade.

Freshmen were no longer the youngest class as both 7th and 8th graders came over for exploratory classes. However, freshmen were still the object of upperclassmen 's pranks. "You get a lot of attention at first. but after a while people tre at you normal," says Freshman Mindy Plummer. For the sophomores and juniors. it was another step up the ladder.

Jessica Stephens said, "You have to take more responsibility and you're busy most of the time." Kory Arnold agreed, but thought everyone needed to be more serious and that there was a lot more classes and homework.

Amy Ring, Kandi McCool, Heidi Schultz, and Jamie Rodenburg enjoy a high school game. - What are some changes in today's eighth grade from when you were in eighth grade? Mrs. Rosie Rastovski, on to her third year of teaching at the junior high, replied, "The most significant change that I see is that today's eighth graders are more aware of the world and the events surrounding them. The world was a much different place twenty years ago and we were more naive. " One change in the normal routine of the eighth grade is the exploratory classes at the high school. These classes have been offered for three years. They include shop. home-ec, and art. The classes are held the last period of the day. Each quarter they switch to a different class. - Do you think that exploratory classes will help you for next year? Amy Ring answered, "Yes. I will know where my classes are and know more about the teachers. " This year's eighth graders were the first to take pre-algebra ift the junior high. It is taught by Mr. Nile Smith who also teaches science at the junior high and Algebra I at the high school. - Is there much of a difference between teaching eighth graders than high schoolers? Mr. Smith, in his seventeenth year, commented. "Not really there isn 't. In class they still work at their subject. I guess the major difference is in their maturity. " - Do you like pre-algebra? "Yes." It's not that hard, but it helps me prepare for algebra next year, " said Jamie Rodenburg. - Are you looking forward to next year? Brenda Guill replied, "Yes. We will be treated more like adults." Emmy Heim added, "Yes. I've heard high school is fun , but we won't be able to get away with a Jot of tirings anymore.

They were the first class to complete all thirteen years in the Tri-Center school. Through the years classmates have come and gone. some have even left only to later return. In junior high they received additional classmates from St. Joseph's elementary school. which resulted in new friends for all. Even teachers throughout the years have noted the class's uniqueness. Mr. Pat Dalton commented. "They were the only class on thebasketball court where the guys looked like the Chicago Bears." He also added that this was the only class that during study hall. the guys let girls put makeup on them and curl their hair. Mr. Gaylord Schelling had his own views about the class and their "willingness, desire to achieve, and ability to reach limits." To sum it up, Mr. Dalton said it best, "The most unique thing about the class of 1991 is that they have a closeness among them, unlike many others." Cheerleader Leas a Stark supports the Trojans.

Tri-Center is very fortunate to have the top-quality teachers it does to guide the students along the right trails on some of their journeys in life. The faculty is very dedica ted to making the programs. both academics and extra curricula r activities, the best they can be. "Our faculty is very positive and hard-working. We also have some teachers with real unique personalities that make learning enjoyable for the students, " said Principal Brett Nanninga. Secreta ry Barb Dalton said , "T he faculty has a good attitude and a desire to build strong programs, but I feel the real rea son for all the success at Tri-Center is because we're so closely knit.

Teachers may do a lot for the students: however. they are not the only ones here to lead the students in the right direction. The Administration. school board. and support staff at Tri-Center are also very determined in helping the students make the most of. and get the most out of. their high school years.

Often in the excitement of extracurricular activities, the real reason for school is forgotten. The true reason students come to school is to receive an education. Academics combine teachers and students with books and computers. This combination forms an education that can benefit students for the rest of their lives. Tri-Center provides a wide academic experience for its students. Something is offered for everyone's talents and preferences. Academics include everything from shop to English. Students are kept up to date with IBM and Macintosh computers, typrwriters, sewing machines, microwaves, and graphing calculators. Carpet was added to the library this year for those students who like to study their academics in comfort. The library also added computerized encyclopedias for those less ambitious students who just can't seem to open a book some days. To provide extra incentive, a ninth hour was added to the end of the day for those students who needed extra time to do assignments. Academics covers a wide var iety of subjects at Tri-Center, but the real goal of providing an education is not forgo tten. ,..:.-.· \ , •I ~ ; •' a- -.•A HEY, KEITH, TRY TURNING IT ONI Michelle Cook gives Ke it h Dav is some helpful ad vice.

A photographer must also be present to take pictures. In addition to writing the cop y, the staff must also make a layout. Every picture , headline, caption, and word of copy must be measured to fit exactly. While doing this, students must also sell ads so that they can finance the yearbook. This requires that students take class and personal time to visit local businesses. Another responsibility that the DO A LL THE PICTURE S FIT? Kellie Black an d Jill Rin g experiment on a layout. staff must handle is selling the yearbooks. This year selling the books was done differently. Instead of selling them for several weeks all of the time, they were sold for one week. Another difference this year was a new adviser , Rosie Rastovski and a n e w yearbook company , Walsworth. The best way to sum up the ye arbook experience was with a quote by staff member Kandi Anderson, "It was a lot of hard work getting the deadlines in, but it was a great e xperience.'' Staff members were : Sarah Brich, Angie Corrin, Michelle Christiansen, Kevin Carroll, Brian King, Kellie 'Black, Jill Ring , Am y Nieman, Kandi Anderson , and De ni se W ilson.

Peer teaches students how to better relate with other students. and also with their teachers. The students in the class study one another's values, feelings. and personalities. They also learn more about their own persona Iities. The big event for Peer is Environmental Day for the sixth graders. where only seniors are allowed to attend. They go to Aarowhead Park and help the sixth graders with various activities. Cassie Herkenrath said , "I like Peer because I get to know people better and they get to know me better." Chad Minahan added, "Peer is fun and entertaining." Peer Students relate feelings with one another during class. �Both the tutors and the tutees get a lot from the teaching and learning experience of Peer Tutoring.

After all. it is call ed PEER tutoring." said Mrs. Harma n. There were approximately fo rty stu de nts who participated in Peer Tutoring. Most students reacted well to being taught by another student, and most increased their grad es while lea rning better stud y ha bits. The program also seemed to build self-esteem. Gretchen King stated. " Tutoring someone helps me learn a lso." " It's not bad. I hel ped bring my grades up. " added Ja rod Dav is. Tuto r Lynn Stamp however. summed it up best by say ing.

Science is knowledge acquired by deduction of laws and conditions and testing them by experiment , studying things that make up our life add to our knowledge. In most classes, reading and studying are how we learn more. Science classes like to add a different approach. "I prefer to do labs because labs give an opportunity to have handson experiences. It also gives students a chance to see if they can do the activities of science," commented Lee Killpack , who teaches physical science, biology, and college biology. NO W THIS GOES WHERE?

Teaching in the Social Studies departmen t were Mr. Ernest Abariotes and Mr. Steve Patras. Mr. Abariotes taught American Government. Economics . Interna tional Politics. and Sociology. while Mr. Patras taught World Geography. World History. American History. and Psychology. " I learned a lot in all my Social Stud ies classes. especially Internationa l Politics." said Leasa Stark. Michelle Christiansen added . "I think t he Social Studies classes are good for you. And we had some pretty hot de ba tes in fourth hour." Some of t he topics covered were the gove rnmental system. fo reign policy. geography of t he U. S. and the rest of the world. major wars. the depression . and interactions. Although most Social Studies classes dealt with the past, there are exceptions. In classes such as Economics. Government, and especially International Politics. there was a lot of time spent discussing current issues. There was probably not a day that passed without discussing the Persian Gulf War. Mr. Abariotes's outlook on Social Studies is. " If you do not know where you have been. then you do not know where you are going." " I like Mr. Patras's class because we talk about current events and he gets us students involved. We don 't have to do everything by the book." said Laura Brich . OFF THE SUBJECT! Angi Leaders.

Finally there is lndependant Living which will prepare individuals for immediate survival in the working world. When asked how hard it is to keep track of all of the classes, Mrs. Ha nse n quoted , "It is a challenge to prepare for six different classes in a day, but at the same time, I find it very interesting! In other words, I prefer this type of teaching assignments over having seven sections of one course each day." Freshman Jaime Crozier likes sewing and talking the best.

This year the foreign language department was expanded to add the new language of Spanish. This not only stretched the foreign language curriculum but also Eleanor Gambs's schedule. Spanish was offered to the incoming freshmen because they would be the only ones able to complete the possible four years. The new class seemed to be successful with the students and its teacher. French was as popular as always even with the addition of the new language. The senior class had several students who were in French IV, which meant that the "old language" was just as good as one that had just been introduced. Mrs. Gambs said she felt more comfortable speaking French than speaking Spanish, but that she enjoyed teaching both equally. The addition of Spanish was not the only thing on Mrs. Gambs's schedule. She also involved her students in the Foreign Language Festival. She made time to show students how to make the notorious crepes and allowed the st udents to enjoy a day outside to play boule. In addition to this , she and the foreign language stude nts are plan ning another t ri p to France this upcoming summer. Ma ybe selling all that candy does pay off!

In real life people deal with things that could keep them out of trouble or save them financial problems in the future. Mr. Bob Johnson , who teaches the class, emphas izes , "The problem that we have with Business Law is there is not enough time in the high school to take everything that is needed."

It 's fantastic, or at least most of the time it is. But what happens when it all of a sudden decides to not work anymore? Take it to a mechanic? Most people do, but a lot of ambitious people take the task of repairing their car's engines by themselves. These are the type of students who took basic auto mechanics with Bill Larsen. Throughout the duration of the year-long class, the students studied t he parts of a motor like a doctor does the human anatomy. This hands-on e xperience is probably the best way of understanding the complexity of engines. Wanna be creative? For all of you who said yes , I ad• vise one prescription . .. take shop! It 's a different way of expressing yourself and it teaches skills that will be useful for the rest of your life. And no matter whi ch le vel of shop it is, you'll never learn a more e xc it ing , safer, or prac t ical way of being creative than t ak ing shop at Tri-Center.

First, the students must fill out an application that is reviewed by a group of selected faculty and administrators. Their first chance to be inducted comes during the second semester of their sophomore year. Then a second chance i given their junior and senior years. This gives them a reason to bring their grades up or become more active in their school or community. "Being inducted was an honor and a great experience," commented senior Angie Corrin. Once inducted, members take on the making of a school calendar, which includes students' birthdays and activities. They also sponsored the bloodmobile, to which 96 people came to give blood.

Chorus �Chorus: A New Line The term chorus has come a long way. It could range anywhere from five or six people to an entire group of people, such as the many talented vocalists at Tri-Center. Under the direction of Arla Jo Clausen the vocal music department has achieved many great accomplishments and pleased many crowds. Mrs. Clausen's most memorable performances this year was singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at some home basketball games.

The coaches and athletes put a lot of heart into athletics, and provided the loyal fans with many exciting seasons during the 1990-91 sports year. Tri-Center is not a big school filled with a lot of all-stars. but that didn't bother the top-notch, qualified , and very dedicated coaches and athletes. Angie Corrin said she didn't see any disadvantage in the sports program because of the school's size. "It brings out the best in everyone." said Corri n. Melissa Matthews agreed by saying. "The fact that we don't have a lot of all-stars because of our size pushes people more ... It seems the sports program has had much success for quite a few years. The 1990-91 sports year was no exception. With two cross coun- try runners making it to state, the volleyball team making it to the regional finals. and the football team making the state playoffs. it is no wonder Tri-Center is thought of as the team to beat. Being thought of as the team to beat can also add a lot of pressure. However, with a lot of hard work and a little extra time the coaches and athletes overcame this pressure . Many put time in during the off-season lifting weights, going to open gym. playing USVBA volleyball. and participating in AAU basketball. "Sometimes it is tough being the target because you always have to be at your best. You can never take things for granted, .. said Katie Leaders. 35 BLAST!

Junior Cassie Herkenrath takes this one, as she adds to her 16 putouts, and tags out Underwood's Paula Hiller. With the loss of All-slaters Lisa Casson. Mindy Schafer, and fellow graduate Angela Christiansen, many might have expected the young team, with just three seniors, to struggle in the 1990 season. However. that was not the case. "Our season went very well. considering the strength of our conference and the youth of our team," said Coach Nile Smith. Third-baseman, April Minahan. a freshman. agreed by saying, "I felt we did fine considering some of our youth and inexperience." High points of the season included the 8- 7 comeback-win over Underwood, the 1-0 victory over Treynor, and the pressure-filled sweep over Griswold to clinch the conference championship. Strengths of the 16-7 Trojanette were overall team attitude. hitting. and the experienced battery of Sarah Brich and Cassie Herkenrath. "One of our goals was to win the conference," said Coach Smith . "We shared the championship with Underwood, in one of Southwest Iowa's toughest conferences with a feeling of pride and accomplishment."

They used the team's strength in defense along with their quickness to win over some impressive competitors. A non-conference game with Logan-Magnolia was the game of the year when Trojan baseball brilliance showed through. The team took on a tough pitcher and a solid defense and come out on top with a definite 3 to I win. It was a game when everything came together and it made coaching fun and playing enjoyable. However, there were some heartbreakers during the year. The most crushing was the loss to AvoHa Shelby-Tennant in extra-innings when a double-play ball was dropped. The 1990 Trojan field was the home of two very talented players who were named to special teams. Nick Gambs was named to All-Conference second team and All-Area honorable mention. Scott Johnsen was named to All-Area and All-District first teams. The 1990 Trojans ended their season with six wins and eleven losses. �Vars ity First Row: Eric O'Ne ill.

Cross Country �Tri-Center-Underwood Striding for the Top This year there was a new aspect to the cross country team. The Tri-Center and Underwood cross country teams combined. Underwood brought five boys and one girl to the team. Coach Pat Dalton said the only negative aspect to the combination was that it moved the team up from class IA to class 2A. The boys' team had five of the seven varsity positions often filled by freshmen. The girls' : team was more experienced with two seniors and one junior. The program produced two state qualifiers, freshman Marty Dalton and senior Caryn Crocfer. Both of them finished fourteenth at state. The highlight of the season for the girls was their first place team finish at the Woodbine meet. The brighter spot of the season for the boys was their first place team finish at Treynor. The medal winners for the boys were: Marty Dalton-10, Rue Hough7, Adam Justenson-3, Josh McDermott-3, Sean Minahan-3, Jeff Sparr2, and Mark Cerny-I.

They ended the regular season 7-1, but finished the post-season 0-1. The team lost its season opener to Glenwood and lost a close one to Treynor later in the season. The near I 00 degree temperature the night of the Glenwood game made play very exhausting. Bert VanNordstrand commented about the Glenwood game, "It doesn't matter how hot or cold it is.

Even with the disappointment of not making it out of pool play in the Harlan Tournament. the team came back to take second in the conference and conference tournament. They took a first place finish in the Shelby Tournament for the ninth straight year. "Even though People t hink it wasn 't a very tough tournament, it was quite challenging," said Coach Mary Conway. High points of the season were the comeback wins over Red Oak and Lewis Central. Coach Conway, who won her 200th match this year, commented, "It was enjoyable beating Lewis Central for the first time ever, especially because of the way we had to come back." One of the team's strengths was its versatility in the event of illness and injuries. The team did a good job of pulling together with the changes of their offense and the absences of key players at times. Senior Katie Leaders commented, " It was kind of an up and down season because of our lack of concentration. However. we always seem to have fun and Mrs. Conway was right there in the middle of it."

Bert 21. 48, 52, Index �STUCO Fun Days Big Hit With Students This year's student Council (STUCO) sponsored both winter and spring Fun Days. with each having big success. Both events provided the students faculty, and administration with plenty of "chow" along with activities such as board games. ping pong. volleyball. softball. and more. The student council has sponsored a fun Day for the past three years. T-C makes Playoffs This year's football team earned a berth in the State Playoffs after capturing a piece of the WIC with a win over Audubon. Unfortunately they were defeated 28-9 by Southern Ca l. Bond Issue Defeated In March voters in the Tri-Center District went to the po lls and defeated a proposed bond issue to all ow the junio r high to be moved to the high sc hoo l site. The proposed meas ure. which wa s not to exceed $ 1, 220. 000 was defea ted by two and a half perce nt. 1:26 �Reflections As the 1990-91 school year came to a close many of us began to reflect on all the good and bad times we had shared with each other. Many reflected on all the fun they had in dressing up during Homecoming week, singing in the musical, dancing at prom. and crying at graduation. Others remembered the exciting victories in academcis , sports. and fine arts. along with the disappointing losses throughout the year. We accomplished many goals during the year and overcame many challenges. We lea rned to look past the bad times and concentrated on the good. Though the end of the yea r brought sadness to some. overall the 1990-91 school yea r had shone with talents and a bilities of a ll at Tri-Center. We had succeeded in making this school yea r one to remember. " WE WERE MANY. WHO BECAME O NE." Academics Overlooked Tri-Ce nter has a strong academic progra m. yet with so many extra curricula r activities it's easy to forget the real purpose of school-an edu cation . Though th is may be true we strongly follow the policy of success out of the classroom comes after success in the classroom. �Friends Packing up the dreams God planted in the fertile soil of you. Can't believe the hopes He's g·ranted means a chapter in your life is through. But we'll keep you close as always it won't even seem you've gone. 'Cause our hearts in. big and small ways will keep the love that keeps us strong. And friends are friends forever if the Lord 's the Lord of them . And a friend will not say never 'cause the welcome will not end. Though it's hard to let you go in the father's hands we know that a lifetime's not too long to live as friends. With the fai th and love God's give n springin' from the hope we know. We will pray th e joy you'll live in is t he strength that now you show. But we 'll keep yo u close as always it won' t even seem you've gone. 'Ca use o ur hearts in big a nd small wa ys will keep the love that _keeps us strong. Mic hae l W.

Many of today's students have found the ups and downs of these particular classes and offered a little advice. Wendy Schultz sa id, "take my advice, don't take government first hour. It's hard to pay a tte ntion when you are sleeping! " Mr. Abariotes has been know n as one of the toughest teachers in school. Many of the students who were asked responded with some interesting input . Dave Wilson said, "I think when he was younger he must have been beaten up by kids just about our age when he was in high school, so now he is old and he takes it out on us." Mr. Aboriotes is not the only social studies teacher in the school. There is also Mr. Cochran. Mr. Cochran teaches t hree required cou rses: World Geography, World History, and American History. Younger students learn a lot from these requ ired courses. Megan Minahan said, " I like World History because it's interesting. I like studying about wars a nd military geniuses. They should go into more details on the wars, so we don't repeat over time." Teaching Jr. High socia l studies is Mr . Hornboste l.

The classes that are offered this year are Physic a I Sc ience, Biology , College Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Science 7 and 8. Science can be taught in many ways. The best way that science can inform students is through the understanding of the students ' personal ities . Most students like to learn about a certain subject in d ifferent ways and it's important for a teacher to understand that need. Mr. Killpack and Mr. James Clarke have accomplished those needs and informed their students.

People seemed to find comfortable to be 'cool '. Styles in shirts ranged from sweatshirts, to sweaters, to T-shirts, to flannel shirts, to body suits. Co-Ed Naked shirts were also cool , but they were outlawed in the halls. As for jeans ' less was best'. People seemed to ignore the designer jeans and head for the cheaper ones. Popular places to buy them were t he Limited and Vanity. At the beginning of the year c olored jeans were seen on most people , but by the end of t he year it was plain old blue jeans again. lmke Schroder wore her jeans a little different. She wore bell bottoms and blue jeans with patches on the butt. They were different, but definitely cool! Shoe styles were of variety , and of taste. Footware that was definitely cool was cowboy boots, fake Birkenstocks , combat boots , work boots , ropers, mountain boots , Converse shoes, and tennis shoes. As for jewelry , there weren't many new trends. Chokers were an ' in' at the beginning of the year, but died off by the end of the year. At one time body piercing was the thing. Michelle Loftus and Ann Meyering pierced their noses, and Jenny Lemmonds pierced her belly button. This trend did not last long due to angry parents and infections. As for hair, there were no special trends. Most g irls wore t heir hair long , with no ba ngs, th o ugh some people dared to cut their hair short . One e xample was Mindy Plummer. Guys wore their hair in typical do's: short. As for those who dared to be different, Brian Skow died his hair b lack, one night when he was bored , a nd Jay Behrensen and Kirk Ring shaved their sides. As every year, there were those who were dared to be d iffe rent, but were cool '. Two prime examples were Cary Popkin , in her Danzing shirts, shorts, and combat boots , and then t he re was Tom Dawson , that bul l riding daredevil, who started the cowboy trend. They were different, but they were definitely cool'! In the middle of the year the enti re school took a survey. The students got to write who and what they thought was hot', and not'. Here are the answers. Some of the answers may have two or more people or things due to extreme high or low opinions of subjects. -Bobbi Ch ristensen (70/Surveys • Songs: Hot-I Would Do Anything For Love Not-Achy, Breaky Heart Barney Song Anything by Michael Jackson TV Shows: Hot-Home lnprovement Not-90210 Cars: Hot-94 Mustang 93 Camero Not-Pinto Station Wagon Models: Hot-Cindy Crawford Krissy Taylor Nikki Taylor Perfe rred Stock Guy Not-Christie Brinkley Cindy Crawford Actresses: Hot-Julia Roberts Jodie Foster Not-Julia Roberts Madonna Actors: Hot-Mel Gibson Ch ris O'Donnel Tom C ruise Not-Patrick Swayze Tom Cru ise ��, Snowstorms, ice and sub-zero temperatures crippled the East Coast for much of the winter.

The students put evei:ything together piece by piece in the big puzzle of school. They tie up loose ends in everything they do. If it's sports or drama T-C puts it all together to get the end result. All students smooth out the rough edges to fit and get along so T-C truly has the right combination.

Laura King waits for her moment in the spotlight as Callie Rodenburg and Katie Morse hand out flowers . What do students remember most about high school after they have graduated? Most will say Prom, Homecoming and Graduation. They are the most fun and the saddest. Student Life includes all of these and many more. Student Life ranges from the biggest events of the school ·year to the smallest. It is what students do and how they do it. Weekends are always a big topic. What did you do this weekend? What are you going to do next weekend? Activities range from sports to music and parties to reading a good book. Some events are dealing with school and others do not, but they are all things students do while not being burdened by the s tress of school. -Jackie Carlson �"Flannels with a Tshirt underneath is really popular." -Heidi Schultz "Clothing is more casual and laid back." -Sarah Goodwin "Large pants so they can wear underwear under them and let them show." -Mrs . Tami Harman said when asked what a fash ion trend was. What's Hot P Fashion Trends at T -C epe, Guess and Levi's are just a few of the many brands of clothing students wore. But it takes more than just wearing clothes to say it's fashion. Fashion or Style is defined a s a manner or c u stom that prevails. The prevailing s tyle of 1995 was jeans with a shirt . If one w alked down the hallway there wouldn't be one shirt in particular that everyone was wearing. Sh irt s ranged from No Fear to flannel and dressy to casual. Cowboy Up! In keeping with the country school, some stu dents took up the Western look. -Jackie Car lson Tom Dawson wears a cowboy hat. Tom competes in rodeos; he is a bull rider . �Jess Stephens with her unique style wears overalls as a jean alternative. Megan Minahan has on a flannel shirt which was the most popular trend . "A lot of people are into western wear." -Kevin Christensen '"Ropers" -Matt Handbwy said was the 1994-95 trend in shoes. "Pro Team Jackets'" -Ashlee Wulff said was the lastest in fashion.

They enjoy getting to pick out some classes they want to take, but look forward to getting to choose more freely. Keith Incontro said, "Study halls are fun ." The eighth graders have taken lots of action this year . Some of them attended Leadership Academy last summer and now that group sponsors dances. They have been sponsoring recycling throughout the school. They take care of gathering up the materials each week. Many of them are in chorus and band. They also actively participate in sports. Eighth grade has brought about changes since seventh grade. They now are the role models . It also means more activities to get involved in.

Or when walking down the hall to the next class and the tardy bell rings. What are you going to tell the teacher? This sophomore class has a few ideas. Brian Skow said an excuse of his was, "The dog had my keys." A favorite excuse of Jaime Anderson was , "My brother was abducted by aliens so we had to celebrate." Most of the time the sophomores can get the teachers to believe their stories , but as Angela Olson said, "It depends on the teacher. " Sometimes, the teachers hear some pretty wild excuses too. Mrs. Harman has gotten a few written excuses on reasons to not go swimming - "I don't want to come back to school looking like a drowned rat," "I can't tie my trunks," or "I didn't want to get wet." Another written excuse she's gotten from someone is "Please excuse my son from P.E. he don't fill good!"

The teachers try to teach the students something that is fun to learn, but also educa tional. They only want to do what is in the best interest of their students. The teachers do expect a lot from their students but then, don't we expect a lot from them? We sometimes tend to expect the teachers not t o give us any homework on game nights . Well, without a good education you can not go anywhere. They are just trying to prepare us for what is ahead. Like Mr. Lee Killpack said, "I believe our s t udents should be challenged to develop to their fullest potential. This requires discipline of bot h t he teacher and the student. I attempt to give m y best to that goal and expect the same of our s t udents." We may think they are push ing us too h a rd , but actually they just ex p ect out of us wh at we expect out of them. You m ay not think t his way now , but after high s c h ool not only will yo u remember your friends and t he grea t times you had, but you will also remem ber your teachers. You will be thanking them for a ll t he time a n d effort they put in jus t so you c ould go on and become wha t you h ave a lways d r eamed of becoming.

The two buildings face to the NW and overlook the community's business district. The church, with its 100' spire, is a landmark in the community and is visible for blocks. St. Peter's is of masonry load bearing construction, red brick with dressed limestone trim. The Gothic Revival style church was designed by architect Mathias Schnell, is rectangular in shape, and measures 42' x 107'. It features a symmetrical facade on one gable end with an apse at the opposite end. The central spire rises from a 10' square vestibule with double entry doors. Fenestration throughout is lancet arched. The windows are capped by brick patterned hoods, while the sills are of stone. Above the entry doors is a large arched window, with a pattern of four small brick arches above, and at the third level is an arched belfry with louvers. The side elevations of the vestibule also contain three levels of arched openings, culminating in the louvered arch at the top. The spire is capped by a copper cross. Buttresses are located at all corners, and are symmetrically arranged along the side elevations as well. The facade features a single window on each side of the spire, while six windows are located on each side elevation. Three windows are located high in the walls of the apse. All are of stained glass (with protective plexiglas) and are original to the construction of the building. The names of the donors are known, but not the name of the craftsman. Along the side walls, brick pilasters alternate with buttresses between the windows. A corbeled brick frieze is located just below the slate roof. The single story "U" shaped area around the apse is original (it is shown on the earliest Sanborn map), but has been extended to connect with the rectory and has been covered with stucco. The foundation, from the watertable down, has also been stuccoed. An engraving from 1889 shows a cross on the roof above the altar, at least two small brick chimneys, and finials on the corners and points of the spire. In 1988 handicapped accessiblity was provided when an entry door was created in the fifth of the six windows on the north elevation. The exterior of the church was steam cleaned, and re-pointed within the past twenty years. >eo continuation sheet �8.

State significance of property, and justify criteria, criteria considerations, and areas and periods of significance noted above. St. Peter's Church (1887) is significant under Criterion C and meets Criterion Consideration A as a good, relatively unaltered example of Gothic Revival church design from the 1880s. St. Peter's Rectory (1895) is significant under Criterion C as a companion building to the church in terms of scale, materials and construction date. St. Peter's Parish of Council Bluffs was founded by German Catholic immigrants who had been members of the predominately Irish St. Francis Xavier Parish. Locally, it is said that the idea of creating a German parish in Council Bluffs originated with a group of German women who gathered in December of 1884. After agreeing upon the need for a parish for the German element of St. Francis Parish, the ladies formed themselves into a society to accomplish this end. By May of 1886 the male element of the German population of Council Bluffs also formed an association to aid in the creation of a German Catholic parish. With Bishop Cosgrove (of the Davenport Diocese) and Rev. B.P. McMenony (pastor of St. Francis) approving of the idea, the Germans saw their goal within reach. A shortage of German speaking priests in the Davenport diocese posed a problem, though. This was remedied by communication with Abbot Wolf of the Benedictine monastery in Atchison, Kansas. In April of 1887 the abbot notified Brother Adolph Wesseling that he was to take charge of the new parish while also overseeing the construction of a church for the parish. On May 12, 1887 Father Wesseling wrote to his Abbot about plans for the new church. The plans for the church will be finished in about 10 days and contract be let as soon as possible. The church will be of pure Gothic style. $11,000 of course pews, altars, confessional excepted. We had several >ee continuation sheet �9. Major Bibliographical References Babbit, Charles, H.

PETE U'S GERMAN CATHOLIC CHUKCH. (Source: Council Bluffs City Directory, 1889.) On the interior St. Peter's follows the traditional Christian church plan with nave and side aisles. The aisles are created by clusters of "tall slender Gothic pillars of imitation marble" from which Gothic arches spring. (Council Bluffs Globe, 18 March 1888.) Originally the interior featured lavish stenciling on the walls and ceiling. There have been several redecorations over the years, with the most recent including the application of a simplified stenciled pattern along the side walls at sill level. New pews, floor covering and lighting fixtures have been installed, the communion rail has been removed, and the ornate altars replaced by a simple modern one. A balcony extends across the interior at the back of the sanctuary. Despite the changes, the feeling of spaciousness remains, with the ceiling rising from a height of 12' at the side walls, to 27" at the center. St. Peter's Rectory is located immediately SW of the church building with the same NW facade orientation. The residence was constructed in 1895, just eight years after the church. It is two �NFS Form 10-900-a (8-86) OM8 Approval No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number __Z__ Page 3 CFN-259-1116 and one-half stories, of brick construction with limestone trim. Basically rectangular in shape (with a two story bay on the south side, and a 3* projection on the north), it measures 56' x 30*. Like the church the entry is on the gable end, but in the residence it is off-set to the right side. A broad porch extends across the front of the house, and a small vestibule has been built out from the doorway. The rectory windows are segmental arched with limestone keystones. A lunette window and a corbelled brick frieze (similar to that used on the church) are found on the gable end. An embossed gable ornament features a cross superimposed on a rising sun motif. The north gable is covered with a decorative shingle pattern, while the rear of the house features a hip roof. A single chimney is located in the center of the roof. Alterations to the exterior appear limited to the removal of a rounded corner at the north end of the porch, and at the rear of the house, a walkway was extended to the church (by 1928), and an attached garage has been added. The interior of the rectory has not been addressed in this nomination. Although a contributing structure, the rectory is of secondary importance to the church. On the front lawn, between the rectory and the church is Our Lady of Grace Shrine, built by the Rev. Father J.J. Hannan, S.J. about 1958. This is one of dozens of similar shrines built by the Jesuit. It is not considered a contributing object due to the date of construction and its relatively small size. There have been some changes in the immediate surroundings of the church and rectory over the years. Bluff Street appears to have been straightened a little just in front of the two buildings, and a minor grade adjustment made. The steps from the street are not original, but have been there at least 30 years, while those from the sidewalk to the entry doors appear unchanged. Behind the church and rectory the area has been paved for parking. Immediately to the north of the church is a now vacant school building. The original wood frame school from 1887 served until replaced by this brick building in 1924. It was built to house a Sisters' home as well as the school. It is not considered part of this nomination because it is not one of the original buildings in the complex and it does not relate to the others stylistically. �NPS Form 10-900-1 (8-86) OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number Page CFN-259-1116 U.S.G.S. map of Council Bluffs showing location of St. Peter's complex. �OMB Approval No. 7024-00)8 NPS Form 10-900-a United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number Page CFN-259-1116 *r*&txi jg^ffjffly-.u Jj^gg: A :£ ,„.

He is both architect and builder and, therefore, able to sketch for the money what he, if left to his bidding, is prepared to produce in reality. He is also building McMenony's church. I have seen in my travels several churches of Mr. Schnell, they are all beautiful and a marvel of cheapness. On June 15, 1887 Wesseling wrote to Abbot Wolf... ...We have let the contract today for our church to very good and responsible parties. The church will be of pure Gothic architecture 106' x 47" with tiny pillars and octagon sanctuary and tower 133' built of hard brick and pressed brick in entire front, with best Ben Davis Black Pennsylvania slate roof........in all $11,126.00 to this is to be added $200.00 for the architect, Mr. Mathias Schnell of Rock Island, 111. The church is very beautiful. The "good and responsible parties" were Wickham Bros, of Council Bluffs. This firm was responsible for most of the major constuction which took place in the city for years. Although not members of St. Peter's Parish the Wickhams made substantial contributions to the construction of the church and continued their support in the following years. Wickham Bros, also received the contract for the construction of the rectory in 1895. St. Peter's is an almost classic example of a late 19th century Gothic Revival design. Executed in red brick it is rectangular in shape, measuring 42' x 107', with a symmetrical facade on the gable end. The entry doors are located at the base of the soaring 100' central spire. All fenestration is lancet arched, with brick patterned hoods and dressed stone sills. The buttressed corners with stone caps are typical of Gothic Revival designs. These buttresses are repeated on the side elevations, alternating with brick pilasters. Brick corbeling is found just below the slate roof. The apsidal end features three lancet windows placed high in the wall, to allow the light to fall down onto the altar. The symmetry of the exterior is continued on the interior, a nave with side aisles plan. This plan has been in common use since the Early Christian churches of the fourth century. The church is divided into three basic areas, the vestibule or narthex, the nave with side aisles, CFN-259-1116 �NPS Form 10-900-a (8-86) QMB Approval No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _JL__ Page 3 CFN-259-1116 and the apsidal end with the altar. In Early Christian churches, as in many 19th century churches in this country, the exterior was usually fairly simple, a combination of brick and stone, while the interior was richly decorated with paintings, carvings, and gilt. The interior of St. Peter's was originally much more ornate than what is seen today. In the June 15, letter Wesseling goes on..... The same stands ______ in Fort Madison, Iowa. I am surprised we got it so cheap. I am just ordering three bells for our church. I got them donated from one man as something extra to cost $400.00......... While no documentation has been located identifying St. Joseph's Church in Fort Madison as a Schnell design, it is remarkably similar to St. Peter's. The pitch of the roof, and design and proportion of the spire are very much alike. However, differences do exist. St. Peter's has a central entry with a window on each side of the facade while St. Joseph's possesses a central entry with a smaller doorway on each side and towers on the corners of the facade added between 1900 and 1907. St. Francis Xavier (Father McMenony's church), which is non-extant, and St. Bernard's in Breda (Carroll County) are also known to be designed by Schnell. The completion of the church did not end the efforts of the parishioners to improve their religious institutions. A scant six months after the church was dedicated, the children of the parish began their school year in a frame structure built by the men of St. Peter's. The Benedictine sisters who taught the youngsters, moved into the frame house built to accomodate them before the year 1888 ended. Both structures were located just to the north and east of the church. Eight years elapsed before the parish would construct the rectory. The success of their previous endeavors, and the cramped nature of the priest's quarters in the rear of the school, led them to complete the substantial residence for their pastor just to the southwest of the church. �NPS Form 10-900-a (8-86) OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number __JL__ Page 2 CFN-259-1116 Iowa Architects Files, State Historical Society of Iowa, Historic Preservation Bureau, Des Moines, IA.
