A yearbook is a collection. A collaboration of words and pictures in an attempt to recapture moments. A space in time when five-minute passing periods meant freedom, when teachers sometimes seemed evil, and lunch was 25 minutes of paradise. is yearbook is a collection, meant to remind you of those times. Times of Being Together. Together we develop our individual minds. We take with us tiny bits and pieces of knowledge, but more than that we take bits and pieces of each other. Our mental development is contingent upon our experiences with each other. Together we condition our bodies until the simple, involuntary act of breathi ng is difficult. We spend hours drenched in sweat perfecting the necessary skills needed to succeed. We experience triumphant victory along with humbling defeat. Together we follow our teams. We stand behind them filled with spirit in Superfa n gear. We set up and participate in Masses, give blood, organize fund-raisers and fast for a day. We spend all day together at school onl y to pend the rest of the night together, at practice, a game, on the phone, or just veggi ng out at each other's houses. The size of our school leaves nothing in the dark. We know more about each other than many of us wou ld like. We remember such genera l aspects of peopl e as names and hair colors. Even stranger we take with us spec ifi cs like a person s fav orite gum or the ir a ll ergy to peanuts. Together we are one. Mind Body and Spirit we are St. Albert. A being is composed of essentia lly a mind, a body and a spirit. Togethe r we are the being o f St. Albe rt. Indi viduals don't make teams, crowds or classes. This year and thus the ingredi ents of this yearbook are a collection of Be ing Together.

At the beginning of the year we all have nice clean lockers, the new notebooks, pens and pencils, those perfect folders, and maybe a great new bookbag. By the time summer comes around we have turned the lockers into trash cans, notebooks have no paper left, where did the pens and pencils go, had to tape those perfect folders, and the bookbag definitely needs a washing. School is the place where students come together and learn to be friends and classmates. :res_hman Shane Bendgen sits m history class . He listens intently to Mr. Hank Easterling.

One student may ask the dumbest que tion, but it helps you to understand the as ignment so much more. During study hall before a te t someone may help you to learn everything you need to know to pull it off. There are always those clas es you love, you hate, and you have to take. Although tudcnts may put off during their homework or not listen to their teachers omehow we will look back and rea li ze that the teachers we have grown to love have expanded our minds in ways we never dreamed possible.

(ph oto by Lindsay Ban l\s) M ind s Economy Between classes, practices, games, concerts and at least somewhat of a social life, it is hard to believe that any high school student would have time to eat, let alone work a part-time job. However, students are employed throughout the community. From grocery stores and retail to helping the elderly and lifeguarding, many students work to pay for movies, dinner, gas, shopping and numerous other expenses. Working a part-time job in high school also gives you the opportunity to find out what type of career you may desire to go into after graduation.

Some accepted it with relief and joy while others could hardly hold back the tears. It's a time when the past is hard to let go but the future holds no boundaries. There were three senior valedictorians: Stephanie Bau~ert , Erin Walsh and Paul Webering. Walsh, le.eying not a dry eye in the house, said, "I could leave you with some really deep quote like be the change you want to see in the world but instead I ' ll leave you with the advice your mother gave you on the first day of kindergarten when our journey together began. Don' t be afraid, just be yourself. Play nice and remember to share. Have fun. Learn a lot. I'm sure you ' II do great and finally I love you." The graduation choir sings "Like an Eagle."

Athletics may get the publicity, but academics are what school is supposed to be all about. Students are offered many different kinds of classes to showcase their abilities in certain academic fields. Some students excel in math while .others may do well in something like art. Whatever a student is into, it is offered as an academic program. Academics are the glue that holds a school together. Without them there wou ldn ' t be sports or other activities such as band for students to participate in. As much as students ignore or try to push aside academics, they are our first priority. The school exists to help us learn.

Teachers work hard to prepare students for higher learning. The school offers college-credit classes like trigonometry, calculus, English composition and advanced chemistry in an attempt to help students get a jump start. Students spend time on standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. They do what they can to be eligible for the best of scholarships. High school is in many ways a steppingstone to college. It is a preparation for the next stage in life whether it be college or a career. Junior Aaron Seitz listens with a smile during English composition .

Bodies pouring out sweat working each muscle until the slightest movement is painful. Teams competing as though nothing else matters. It's easy to understand how the school can become consumed by sports. An abundance of value is placed on sports mainly because of the word pride. It is a common word when used in conjunction with the sports teams. A long line of tradition is Sophomore B.J . Olberding shoots for a takedown against his opponent from LoganMagnolia.

Sometimes, it's something we do to show our own personality: dyeing or cutting hair, wearing hats and makeup, for a few students getting tattoos or piercings. Other times, it's to correct a problem: contacts or glasses to improve vision, braces to straighten teeth. Even though we go to a school where we all dress the same, no two people are alike. Everybody is different in his or her own little ways, and body modifications are just one way to show that. Sophomore Katie McGruder, freshmen Kristin - McGlade, Keith Marshall, Jenna Schreiber and Emily Propst, and junior Steven Higginbotham show how excited they are that they won't have braces forever.

The Falcons finished off the regular season with a 20- 10 record before being shocked in the first round of distri cet pl ay against Logan-Magnoli a. The Falcons won the Carroll Kuemper tournament fo r the first time since 1988. They were led by fo ur stro ng 200 I graduates: Aaron Grote, Jeff Burkey, Pat Hoffmann and Brandon Baas. The season was fill ed with ups and downs for the Falcons. In the fi rst half of the season nothing was going right fo r them. They could not get the bats going but by midseason, it was a differe nt story. The Fa lcons ra llied their bats and ended the season with The Falcons welco m e senio r Matt Applegate back into the d ugout after a succesful sac ri fi ce bunt. (pho to by Th eresa Farrag e) 20 wins. Senior Matt Appl egate led the team in batting with a powerful .42 1 average. A bump in the road came during the season with a 15-1 loss to Thomas Je fferson. The Fa lcons combined skill and confidence to overcome that bump and put together a winning streak. After a streak of success the Fa lcons suffered a dissappoi nting loss in the first round of distri ct pl ay. The season came to a halt in Missouri Va lley aga inst LoganMagnoli a. Despite the fin a l outcome the season was very succesful. It was filled with what rea lly matters, hard work and dedication to the game. 200 I graduate J eff Burkey s lides pe rfec tly into third base beating t he th row by th e o pposing team .

On a day-by-day basis things started to get sorted out, and people started to fit into the right spots.

The Falcons went out with a positive attitude and believing that Freshman Thomas Webering attempts to work aro und his wrestler for po ints.(ph o to by Liz Regan) they could compete with the bigger schools and do well. Even the first-year wrestlers tasted success, if not by winning the majority of their matches then by vast personal improvement. The Fa lcons competed at several large tournaments. At each one the Falcons were the smallest team there, and at every one they came close to beating the opponent. In duals, giving up the amount of points due to open weights was just too much to overcome. They didn't let that get them down. With constant teaching and encouragement from Coaches Jason Boatwright and Thomas Sweeney they all succeeded at different times and in different ways.

Their season started off a littl e rough, but their ex treme sk ill and desire to win made them a great team. "This year's team is really young and we lost eight seni ors, so it's kind of a rebuilding year," said sophomore Lauren Stubblefield. Saintes soccer started the season wi th a loss to Duchesne by a score of 3-0. The strong talent of the team is what led them through the season. "We have the talent and energy to wi n, and even though we don ' t win every game, we still have a lot of heart and intensity," sa id sophomore Katie Fischer. The talent and heart is what helped them when so many girls were injured this year.

Bowling was just revived at St. Albert in 2000- 01 , making this the second year it was sanctioned as a statewide sport.

We show support by transforming from everyday, cofrffn on hi gh school students into a loud, enthusiasti c group of kids decked out in our school colors from head to toe. Somehow we prove to other schools that although we may be sma ll in size, we are overwhelming in spirit. It is hard to describe the fee ling you get at reconciliation or during the celebrati on of Catholic Schools Week. It is during those times that the spirit of St. Albert swe lls within each student. We pride ourselves on beautiful Masses, new cheers, T-shirts made fo r ou r best friend on the basketball team, or screami ng so loud at a game that you lose your vo ice. And, of course, the obvious, such as Homecoming week and pep ra llies. The spirit of St. Albert fi lls each and eve ry person th roughout the school. A I though it may reach each student diffe rentl y, th rough a prayer service or a football game, the importance of spirit is undeni abl e. Someday, we wi ll look back at these days and rea li ze that although we may not remembe r every c lass or every game, the green and gold spirit that lies within us will never di e.

Detentions take place at 7: 15 a.m. in Mr Hank. Easterling's classroom. The pop machines are located in the cafeteria. The days of carrying a toilet seat as a pass are long gone with the introduction of uniform bathroom and hall passes. Administrators have come and gone; some changed positions. Who could forget the day of pink or lime time? Yup, demerit cards were added this year.

It' a time to be crazy, to have fun, show off, and to dominate in football! Since the Homecoming theme was Mardi Gras chaos was rampant in the halls.

And fin ally spirit day, the day where every student and teacher alike were decked out in their own fa vorite Green and Gold, whether it be T-shirts, plaid pants or face pa int. We all had a way of expressing our school spirit. The differences in how we chose to do so is what made Homecoming 200 I the greatest ever.

Other than coaches and players, many other people contribute to pep rallies. Notice the w@rd "pep" in pep rallies. It is the job of the dance team, cheerleaders and band to make each pep rally work. The point of these is to have fun, and we definitely do. Although we should thank these people who try and get the whole student body fired up during pep rallies, the crowd is just as important as they are.

It is one of the only days that the whole senior class gets together to remember what its members have shared over the past 13 years. It gives the whole class a chance let go of the past and look forward to the coming seni or year. It starts the year of change. The class gets to go to the Creighton Retreat Center, a new place where seniors get to see their cl assmates in new ways. Each senior left with a new look at the cl ass and how they should spend seni or year.

After the crowning of the king and queen everyone gathered on the dance fl oor and the night of fu n had truly begun. Free-spirited, everyone danced the night away. With the stroke of midnight came a change of attire, but the rags did not stop them from hav ing a good time. Everyone boarded the buses and, illuminating with glow sticks, were off to Skateland. Walking into Skateland they were met with a spread of food fi t fo r a king. With the earl y hours of the morning came fu n that will never be fo rgotten. Many activities were offered, includi ng laser tag, skating, dancing, karaoke and a demonstrati on provided by a hypnotist. As the night came to a close tired eyes began to overcome the exc itement.

Cheerleaders' work is obvious in some instances, while other times no one notices it. They are the driving force that keeps spirit up at school. The cheerleaders' season starts at the beginning of the summer. They spend three months teaching and learning new cheers. Everyone tries to contribute ideas that will make a good squad and plenty of cheers with school spirit. They spend their study halls making and hanging locker signs. They go to each and every game to help cheer for the athletes and get the crowd fired up. Cheerleading is about dedication . Each cheerleader must find time between 6 a.m. practices and games, sometimes every night of the week, to do their homework and everything else involved in a teen-ager's life. It may be tiring, but it's fully rewarding. Cheerleaders help make this school part of what it is and what it will always be.

The dance team started practice in early June so that they could get ready for dance camp at Iowa State in July. On July 23 they headed off to camp and would prove to be very successful. The awards they took home were The Spirit Pom, Superior Showmanship, Home Routine Award, NDA National Bid and also the NDA Spirit Award. While at camp five people were nominated fo r AllAmerican Honors: seniors Megan Kennebeck, Teri Lee Mescher and Tara Reilly, and sophomores Amanda Seitz and Katie Fischer. Fischer was chosen fo r All-American. The dance team then got ready for their two main competitions: Ralston and State. They received third at Ralston. State proved to be even more successful. They were awarded first places in their jazz and pom, and third pl ace in their hoopla routine. Like their motto said, "Work hard and good things will happen."

What you're probably thinking are the uniforms or the demerit cards. It is often overlooked that the opportunity to practice our faith is always there. Students are able to express their faith in several different ways. One of these ways would be through Campus Ministry. Campus Ministry is a chance students to get involved in the Masses and also to serve others through various projects. These include projects such as the Special Olympics and Welcome to My World, both new to the program. Many people say that they enjoy Campus Ministry and being able to serve others. It is a chance for everyone to get involved in something positive. No matter who you are you can find your niche in Campus Ministry. There is a place for everyone with any kind of talent.

Retreats allow each grade to get away from the busy schedules at school and have a great time together. For freshmen , sophomores and juniors, Hitchcock Nature Center has been the location for years where students can grow together in faith and friendships. The surroundings set the perfect mood for growing together in prayer. The retreats are usually filled with relationship-building games and group discussions and, of course, the food. Each grade gets to experience nature and fonn new bonds with old friends. Retreats give the chance to look forward as well as to enjoy the memories of the past. Quiet meditations and group affirmations wrap up the retreats, giving everyone the chance to qui et down and let their classmates know just how much their friendships mean. Retreats give everyone the opportunity to have fun together as a class. Principal Mrs. Jonna Andersen passes out candy to Brock Gentile after the sophomore retreat.

Once there, these students spent 10 days finding the true meaning of hope and experiencing it firsthand. The students spent lots of time painting at St. Jude Hospital. They also had patient interaction time in the hospital where they spent many hours reading stories, holding babies and just talking with patients. Every year Regan "sees amazing things happen in the hearts of the students." One of senior Ryan Fischer's favorite memories was "just sitting and talking with Pappy and Sherwin." Everyone seemed to enjoy Sherwin, a 19-year-old man with a brain tumor and only months to live. The World Mission Project is truly an example of a life lesson learned outside the classroom. None of these students could have been completely prepared for what they witnessed on St.. Lucia, but what it was is nothing short of a miracle.

It could be a spec ial person, a certain smell, a joke that came with tears, or the game won during the last crucial moment. Memories have as much diversity as the people who cherish them, but one thing is shared: a common experience. These experiences are gained through every aspect of high school: choir, athletics, Math Club, drama, classes, etc. Time is spent on these various activities; but more than that, time is spent together.

" -- "Angel," by Shaggy (Tara, I hope itdoesn'tstill bother you to hear him sing) An open letter to the 2001-02 J2 class (Make that classes, since you were spread out across the day so much the only time I remember seeing all 18 of you together was for the colophon picture), It is 12: 15 p.m. Wednesday, May 29. With the exception of the index, all remaining pages forthe 2002 yearbook have been checked and are ready to be mailed later today. Actually, with the exception of the index AND this ad. I had another version of the ad written, but it wasn' t very good. I realize quality level didn ' t always prevent some of you from turning in work when it was due, but I'm not getting a grade for this. If I was, the deadline portion would definitely bring the overall grade down. I probably should have stayed in the room and rewritten this last night, as soon as I was done making corrections on the 38 pages that are ready for mailing. But it was 7 o'clock, and I wanted to go watch the rest of the girls soccer game. Three of you were playing, you know. The one who got a demerit when she yelled "Cookout Lunch Day!" The one who told the rest of 0 I about the September 11 attack the morning it happened. And the one who had trouble spelling her Prom date's first name. It was the final regular-season home game of the year. Where did the school year go? Is it possible for a year that included so many intolerably long days to rush by so quickly? Things that happened during first quarter seem so long ago. And things that happened second quarter ... Umm, things that happened second quarter ... Funny, I'm having trouble remembering much of what went on at school during second quarter. Oh, yeah. Must be because I was hit by a truck (or something like that). I was aware of some things that went on while I was away. Like the newspaper editor who made sure every issue was published, working so hard she didn't have time to stop and wonder why some people started caring less about deadlines once I wasn't there to enforce them. Or the co-photo editor who balanced playing Dorothy with doing some of the J-1 teaching. Or the other co-photo editor and the photographer with an exclamation point at the end of her name who were instrumental in raising all that money for my family right before Christmas. Of course, there were also the ad salesmen who didn't know they were supposed to sell ads while I was away, but it's not necessa1y to bring up everything. All of you whom I've already mentioned are pictured somewhere on this page. In fact, the only ones missing are the two who had the class 08 (not to be confused with the ones who had it 0 l , 02, 04 or 07). You remember, the one who knew the best games sites on the Internet (before the memo about games, of course). And the one I made cry three times, which I hope is a record I never break. There are pictures of the two boys who made a habit of showing up late for 01. One had the excuse of driving all the way from Walnut. The other never made clear his excuse; he just brought a pass from his mother, the office secretary. And of the boy who got yelled at when his yearbook spread appeared to be written in an ancient Asian script. Oops, just a computer error that was fixable. And of the girl who had to redo her Homecoming spread three times when the computer kept destroying the file. And of the girl who filled in as newspaper editor when the regular one had surge1y. And of the Yankee fan who is smiling at my choice of song lyrics for this ad but who secretly wishes l had found a way to work in "Holler back, youngin' ." Years from now, long after Dear Abby has ach1ally turned I 00, when I take out this book or when I flip through the I 0 editions of the 2001-02 Accipiter (of course I saved them; didn't you?), I'll think about the 18 of you. About the times we spent together. About the extended time we were apart. And I'll regretsomeofwhathappened, or what didn't. But I'll also be proud of the way some of you stepped up when needed. And of the work you did in this room the past year. And I hope you are, too . -Mr. Larsen P.S. One nice thing about school years is they sometimes last long enough to provide closure. The day before my accident last October, I promised the dance team members in J2 I would lobby at the next faculty meeting to let them wear their team jackets in school on game clays. One of severa l interruptions to the writing of this ad was to attend a discipline committee meeting, where T lobbied hard for that for next year. And I think you might see the team in its jackets some clays. SoITy it was too late to benefit you during your sen ior year, but I thought you might like to know I didn ' t forget. :) Whoops, it's 5:40. I'd better get to Drugtown and mail this. "And if I had to give you up, it's only been a year.

Every other group in our class knew what their theme was going to be. "Don't worry," they told us. "You will have a lightbulb moment. A moment where it just hits you and every- ._ .. thing from there will fall into place." The next day it happened. Uniform Chaos ... It hit us suddenly and seemed to make sense. Or at least we made it make sense. Uniform Chaos. It works on so many levels. Obviously, we wear uniforms to school every day, and having more than 200 teen-agers in a high school makes for chaos of its own. But we wear other uniforms every day. We Right: Junior Teresa Coughlin controls the ball during a soccer game against Lewis Central. (photo by Lindsay Banks) Left: Senior Ryan Murphy exemp lifies Uniform Chaos on a warm sprin g day. (photo by Cody San derson) wear the obvious sports uniforms or work uniforms, and the not-so-obvious uniform of our everyday clothes. And with every uniform we wear, we add to the chaos of life. Every additional sports team, job or activity creates more chaos. Hopefully, you will see many examples of uniform chaos throughout the book, both blatant and hidden .

Year after year people pick their favorite outfit, get up early to do their hair, put on makeup and look their best. All for the sake of school pictures, and so they should. School mugshots are a record. A record for each individual of their growth and fashion hits and misses. A permanent record for years to come. We all know how high school pictures inevitably haunt those who go on to become famous. From VH 1 to ABC, every station can find any picture of you, and high school pictures seem to be a favorite. Usually the pictures are not forgiving. Someday you will pull out your old high school yearbook, blow the dust off the cover and show your children. Everyone knows w hat that is like; your parents have probably pulled out their yearbook, showed you their friends, high school sweethearts and favorite teachers. You probably laughed at the hairstyles and clothing, and especially your parents. just remem ber that at some point the tables will turn, and it will be your children laughing at y ou.

He actually has many hobbies and hidden talents. Chris participates on St. Albert's bowling team. He is one of the more talented bowlers on the team. Chris is also a very talented part of St.Albert's varsity track team. His track teamates stated that due to his quiet personality he is often times underestimated. He is never one to trash talk his opponents and is very humble about his talents. If his classmates had to describe him with one word this would probably be their word of choice: humble.

It is always an exciting night and a great opportunity to make a huge fool of yourself in front of the entire school. For me, getting on the stage in front of all those people is a great time to just make people laugh really hard. This year our (Andrew Balk, Mike Whannell, Graham Schmidt, Mike Stuntz and myself) goal was to embarrass ourselves as much as possible. Whether they laughed at us or with us will remain forever undetermined, but either way, it was a blast. I am extremely pleased with being a part of this over the past few years and I hope to do something like this in the future. -Adam Sawatzke H11-.

(photo by Tiffani Trowbridge) Fall Musical The way practices were going with the tone deaf extras and lingering smell of McDonald's food in the auditorium, I wasn 't quite sure what this was going to turn out like. But I know that from previous productions we've never seemed ready, and then the last week we pull off a riveting performance. When it was opening night, everyone was neNous. In a sense you could smell the cast's fear, but when the curtain came up you could see that the nine weeks were well worth it. Not only on stage, but behind the scenes, some friendships were made. All in all I would have to say that in my three years here "Once Upon a Mattress" is so far the best production. -- Joe Reilly Seniors Rebecca Fennell and Adam McKeagney watch as Erinn Beresford sings.

Beginning this year's run at a state title was the volleyball team. Winning match after match until the substate match. The football team was a dominant force in Class 1 A. The undefeated team led us to the UNI-Dome before losing the semifinal game. Both the girls and boys cross country teams won their district meets and qualified for state. The dance team dazzled us every halftime with new and exciting routines. They received two first-place trophies and one second-place award at the state competition. The girls and boys basketball teams advanced to their regional final and sub-state games, nearly missing chances to play at Veterans Auditorium . Wrestler Thomas Sweeney advanced to the state tournament and placed fourth. Both track teams sent multiple students to compete at the state competition, where the girls team tied for eighth place. The boys soccer team went as far as the sub-state semifinal. A busy year of sports, and a year of success. The trophies and medals are tangible memories, but nothing can replace the bonds made as teammates. 5~ '{)~ 0 Sports 45 A Varsity Football FkNSt,M junior Jason Endelicato runs in for a touchdown during the Sloan Westwood game, led by senior Pat Hoffmann.

What is it about these two words that when said to high school students either inflicts fear or excites? Could it be the lifechanging decisions that have to be made, all the applications to be filled out, or the knowledge that this is your last year to hang out with your friends before you scatter? Everyone has different expectations for their senior year, and they try to make the best of it in their own way. The every-day chaos of getting to school before that unforgiving 8: 10 bell .making up all your missed P.E. 's, trying to keep that ever elusive 4.0, writing your enormous term paper and actually making a deadline here or there. At the same time the feeling of uniformity permeates. The familiarity of the 200 wing, knowing all the rules, and breaking some of them just the same, memorizing your last locker combination, getting dismissed class by class and knowing that you w ill be first to leave the gym, because you are a senior. We leave St. Albert and head off in our different directions to pursue our dreams. We leave as the Class of 2001. At graduation we unify as a whole class to bid farewell to St. Albert one last time. We are unique in that we will be the only Class of 200 I to pass through St. Albert, and w e have left our footprints here fo rever. 5~[)~ • Seniors 113 Jl;;i •• 116Sen iors • 5~/),HUNJ~ 5~/l.H~ •Seniors 117 • ~ 120 Seniors • 5~/l. f#-.C~ S~H~M.4 •Seniors 121 1992 COUNCIL BLUFFS SOCCER 124Seniors • S~/l.H'-~ 5~/I.

Since most of that time has been in the summer, chances are you arc not in prime test-taking form. Despite tha , here's one more final exam. (In a way, maybe this evens things out. I heard a rumor that the first-semester and second-semester finals for this course weren ' t that tough.) Part I. Pictured People. The answer to each of the following questions is one of the people pictured somewhere on this page. I. She baked cooki es for various sports teams throughout the year, but she was Jes than amused when the mini chocolate chip cookies she left in the backroom disappeared. 2. She posted her own countdown to getting her braces off on the chalkboard, then compl ained months later when her non-journalism twin sister did the same thing. 3. She was shocked to discover in the Tri-Center paper that someone had graduated midterm. 4. The first complete sentence she ever heard from the adviser: "You pl ayed in the jamboree at TJ last night. " 5. She was the only athl ete to sign a coll ege letter of intent at a ceremony in the auditorium without having a pi cture of the signing appear in the Accipiter. 6. He took onl y out-of-focus pictures of the person in Question 5 while she was signing her letter. 7. She knew BBMak personally but couldn ' t prevent them from appearing in the promotional video fo r magazine sales. 8. She drove all the way to Bedford (miraculously not fa lling asleep at the wheel this time) to take basketball pic tures only to find out there was no film in the camera. 9. His on-again, off- again girlfriend sat in on the c lass during Lewis Centra l's second trimester as she pondered whe the r to become a journa lism teacher. I 0. The apartment complex she planned to li ve in during college ac tua lly had been the temporary home of such stars as Sarah Michelle Ge llar and B Real. I I. She served as interim yearbook editor while the two ac tual editors were he lpi ng the poor on a Third World island. 12. She bore no resembl ance to Ann Canigli a, so why would anyone get them mi xed up? 13 . She had to build the opinion page by herself for two issues aft er the departure of her co-editor. 14 . She waged a brief chalkboard war of words with a member of the Journalism I c lass. 15 . He made an unprecedented number of visits to his eye doctor in Iowa City. 16. She chose to attend the Uni versity of Nebraska, whi ch was a good thing because it may have been the only college that rece ived her correct transcript. Part II. Not Pictured People. The answer to each of the following questions is a person involved with .Journalism 2 who is not pictured on this page. (Don't worry, Cassy. You weren 't supposed to provide photos.) I. She built the Mr. SA photo essay by herself when the page's co-ed itor was absent, fin all y making up for the fac t she had forced Sarah Re inhardt to redo the 2000 yearbook girls track spread alone by be ing gone herself a yea r earli e r. 2. She bore no resembl ance to Ke lly Sabatka, so why woul d anyone ge t them mi xed up? 3. Although it is rumored he ye lled "Defense" in other parts of the school, he never ra ised his voice in Room I 02. 4. He sold the first double-page yearbook ad in recent memory, then in fo rmed the adviser ri ght before deadline that the photo for the ad had to be returned to Jim Pl amondon immed iately. 5. He was right. The song does have the lyri cs "867-5309." 6. He pl ayed a mean guitar at Mr. SA, but he had to wait until Prom to receive a crown. 7. When he fin ally arri ved for c lass each day (OK, it's a long drive from Glenwood), he was the best in the make-thewate r-bottl e-bou nce-i n-the-bac k-room game. 8. He was so attached to the prev ious year's Journa lism 2 c lass that he didn ' t do an adequate job connecting with the 2000-01 group. If he' d had the sense to, he might have found out it was a pretty spec ial bunch that combined to produce what he considers the best newspaper and yearbook in school history. (A nd, yes, he knows he called the previous year's publications the best, too. But what's he supposed to say when they get even better?) OK. Tha t's the test. If you want to know your score, you 'll have to drop by Room 102 for a visit. Chances are I wouldn ' t mind seeing you again by now. And for those of you complaining that this test was too hard, here's a hint. The answer to Part II, No. 8 is: - Mr. Larsen ... - 1 If not for our first hello, we'd never have to say goodbye. - "Hard Luck Woman," KISS I .

(submitted photo) Uniform Chaos As the year is wrapping up, so is the yearbook. J:,.s we sit here on Memorial Day, the last possible time to finish the numerous remaining pages, we realize how this theme has traveled with us through the year. We see the uniform chaos in the senior boys wearing the girls uniform skirts one day, the players on any of our sports teams running around hectically yet succeeding in their goals. We hope you could catch on to the little ways we tried to carry out the theme. The theme can be seen in the headlines, the text on each page, and the design of the pages. Uniform chaos was a daily part of our lives while working on this y earbook. There was always something happening that made things a little more difficult. W e didn't Juniors Erin Belt, Liz Regan and Angela Roux point to the ~attire they got on the way home from a basketball game. (submitted photo) let things like missing pictures, procrast ination and broken computers slow us down too much. But it was always a relief to find order in the program. Maybe we have just been talking about this them e too m uch the past year, but w e see ! •11iform chaos everywhere in our school and our lives. -Yearbook Co-editors, Caitlin Beresford and Emily Stuhr Cle • Uniform Chaos 171 A Yearbook Editors Emily Stuhr Caitlin Beresford Business Manager Jen Rochelle Design Editor Sarah Reinhardt Sports Editors Matt Kramer Lisa McEvoy Melissa Respeliers Adviser Mr. Mike Larsen Colophon Yearbook Photo Editor Cassy Brouse Circulation Manager Phil Danzer Copy Editor Sara Connolly Newpaper Editor Claire Masker Student Life Editor Andrew Balk Photographer Cody Sanderson Academics and Organizations Editors Ann Caniglia Kelly Sabatka Newspaper Photo Editor Tiffani Trowbridge Assistant Photo Editor Sara Fritzsche People Editors Shannon O'Neill Scott Stronck Ad Sales Matt McDermott Ryan Murphy Kassy Owens Pat Whannell The 2000-01 Dimensions yearbook "Uniform Chaos" was printed in Friz Quadrata and Pepita, with headlines in Franklin Gothic Book and Mistral, and captions in Flora.

For being don e too soon. - Neil Diamond, "Done Too Soon" An open Jetter to the 1999-2000 Journ alism 2 staff, If you are reading this lette r, it mea ns your fin a l project was successfull y compl e ted. The end result of your work, the 2000 yearbook , is in your hands. I hope you like it. And while I do care whether you Ii ke this book, rm sure you a l I heard at some point that I" vc never cared whether you liked me, as long as yo u respected me and learn ed from me. So this is probabl y as good a time as any to reflect back on just what yo u did learn during your time in Room I 02. You know what words bring an au tomatic detenti on. And what they rhyme with. And what words are worth a warning. And what word wi ll make a tabl e o f e ighth-graders chant. You know what you don' t need Lo have a good time. And what is a dead end . And what is better if you ... well, you remember. You know that wheat nuts aren' t nearl y as tasty as soy nuts. And where the flying monk ey came from. And that old job cycle posters make cool wa ll decorations (as long as you' re sure the adviser is clone using them). You know it's dangerous to ex pect the entire student body to spontaneously bring in photos from their childhood regardless of your vision fo r a page. And dan gerou s Lo ass ume that a ll because most o f the items on your deadline heet are clue at the end of the cyc le, yo u' ll be abl e to do them a ll in the last few days. And dangerous to assume advertisers will be wa iting by the phone for whenever you ca ll. And dange rous to ram your whee lchair into the table with the computers on it. You know it's difficult to make a Tuesday deadline for hav ing negatives available when you don ' t take the pi cture until Wednesday. And difficult fo r exc hange papers to get mail ed while they ' re sitting unstamped in your mailbox. And very diffi cult Lo avo id those deadline X 's if you miss class too oft en. You know what it's like to leave the room al I: 15 on a weekday morning. Or I :09 on a weekend morning. Or to wait in the parking lot fo r a ride to Topeka at 5 a.m. Or to enter the room at 8: I I a. m., pre fe rabl y with a pass. You know that the equipment provi ded to the journ a lism de partment is meant to make the process easier, even if the No. 1 computer spent ha lf the year with its tower cover off awa iting a variety of parts. Or if the No. 2 compu ter seemed to sense when newspaper deadlin e was approachin g, picking only those times to completely wipe out front pages. Or if the No. 3 computer lost its sc roll bar in September. Or if the No. 4 computer worked perfectl y well , except fo r th e dark scree n th at made it impossibl e to see just how well it was working. And what piece of equipment in the darkroom caused a ll those magenta splotches, anyway'I Would some night- vision goggles have prevented the problem? You know th at midday is the best Lime to drop off fi lm. Or pi ck up film. Or se ll ads. Or, for th at mailer, sell adds. Boy! You know whi ch step in the photo process enab les you to find the pictures you need for a page. Except when the pictures don' t get fi led in the ri ght place . Or sometimes even when they do. You know how to find sporting events, birthdays and orthodontist appo intments on the ca lendar. And how to find passes in the desk drawer when your wo rk has ca used you to be late fo r your next cl ass. Or to somehow miss it complete ly. You know whose backroom is good for snacks. And naps. And haircuts. But not for recordin g pretend radio shows. You know that yo u are j udged by the people you hang around with . Wait, don ' t hit me. You know that everyone should be judged on their own merits. You know you can rest when you' re dead. And you know what it takes to put asi de whatever differe nces and probl ems you may have so that, when it matters, you made sure each ed ition of the newspaper and each part of the yearbook was somethin g the who le staff co uld be proud o f. Oh, one last thing. That whole " I don ' t care if you li ke me" line I kept te lling you? ... You know I was lying. - Larsen The good news is I'm better for the time we spent together, The bad news is ... you ' re gone. - Diamond Rio, "You're Gone" Blanchard, Nicholas 8, 11, 74 Bouska, Andrew 8, 11 Boyer, Mandie 8, 1 O, 11, 63, 82, 98 Branigan, Emily 8, 71, 109, H3 Brummer, Zach 8, 62, 74 Burkey, Allie 8, 82 Caniglia, Mary Kay 8, 11, 63, 71, 72, 82, 88 Connolly, Andrea 8, 46, 66, 71, 88 Cool, John 8, 11, 42, 62, 70 Cooper, Nick 8, 62 Danzer, Joe 8, 48 Danzer, Timothy 8, 48, 50 Eckley, Stephani 8, 11, 55, 93, 97 Epperson, Michelle 8, 40, 82 Fink, Keith 8, 40 Fischer, Nathan 8, 9, 62, 80 Flom, Matt 9, 84 Friedrichsen, Julianne 8, 9, 63, 71,82,97, 106, 113 Fritzsche, Rob 9, 51 Frueh, Jessie 9, 66 ,71, 82, 86 Gorman, Kathleen 9, 66, 71, 82 Gradoville, Zac 9, 62, 70, 84, 113 Graham, Monika 9, 55, 97 Harper, Sara 9 Freshmen Heithoff, Nathan 9, 62, 70 Higginbotham, Nate 9, 62, 84 Hitchcock, Heather 9 Hoffmann, Jackie 9, 42, 71, 82 Hotz, Brooke 9, 23, 55, 108 Hurley, Jess 9, 11, 63, 71, 72, 86, 113 Jackson, Jenny 9, 55, 88, 97 Jares, Katie 9, 11, 71, 72, 93 Jensen, Lyndsi9 Jensen, Michael 9, 62 Johnson, Eve 9, 11, 40, 63, 64, 71 , 72,82,97, 106, 113 Kidder, Stephanie 9 Knedler, Jonathan 9, 66, 76, 80 Kruse, Jeremy 9, 11 McKenzie, Amy 9, 55, 76, 93, 97,99, 113 McNeal, Erin 9, 11, 63, 71, 112 Meidlinger, Julie 9, 10, 45, 46, 64, 71,82,88,99 Mescher, Jake 1 O, 62, 70, 84 O'Connor, Matt 9, 10, 40, 42, 62, 68, 69, 80, 81, 109 O'Toole, Tristan 10, 11, 74, 84 Palmer, Christopher 10, 70, 80 Petersen, April 10, 66, 82, 88, 106, 108, 113 Pogemiller, Kristi 10, 109 Freshmen Mary Kay Caniglia, Amy McKenzie, Jessie Frueh, Jackie Hoffmann . and Jenny Jackson gather around the lunch table on Pajama Day.

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

In the first few weeks of the season, we lost three players to inj ury and ill ness. Coach Chad Kenoyer had his work cut out for him. He recogni zed our potenti al and strove fo r excell ence.

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

(Photo by Kelli Siford) by Kelli Siford) 86 Wrestling The 1998-99 wrestling season was a breakout season fo r the St. Albert wrestling program. It was one that saw new guys turn out just because they li ked what the team was doing and wanted to be a part of it. A season that ended with a win ning record fo r the first ti me in a very, very long time. It was one that included the first conference championship in school history. More important than all of that, it was the season that Falcon wrestling regained its res pect. This was the season that teams stopped thin ki ng of our team as an easy win on the ir schedule. We came a long way this season, and we worked hard along the way. With the hard work ethi c our team possessed, we are assured more success in the years to come. I rea ll y ex pect that after this breakout year that our wrestling team will reall y spread its wings and soar.

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

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

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

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

At first, I thought this would be an easy tasK. All I needed was a full yearbook page of writing, right? Wror:i§! fie firs time I sat down to write about this wonderfully simple concept, I realized how difficult it was to apply "True @olors" to St. Albert High School. "Whafthe heck are the true colors of St. Albert?" I knew they were not just green and gold, but what are the true colors? ®ur adviser, Mr. Tom Kaup, my fellow managing Eeiitor, Molly Borman and I tried many different angles. We assigned a color to each division of our yearbook, and had people describe how the color relates to the division. We got things back like, "Red represents sports, because red is an excellent color and St. Albert is known for excellence in sports." This wa~ not wbat we were looking for. Back to the drawing board. Next we tried to describe the outside appearance of the school and then describe the many colors an outsider would not see. This was closer to what we were looking for, but was still not what "True Colors" really meant to us. I then decided to put the theme aside and continue to work on the rest of the yearbook. For the next eight months I would pull the theme folder out of my work box and look at it, but would then mutter something to myself and put it away fpr another day. That "ane!her day" did not come for a long time. So here I am, three days after graduation, trying to figure out what the tnerme of this yearbooR we have been putting together for the last year, means. In one last desperate attempt, I sought out the help of our vet6'an art teacher, Ms. Deborah McGuire. Who better to tell me ab0ut colors, then the Color Wheel Queen herself? She gave me a Macintosh disk full of her own writings on the subject. I tromRed down to the old mac lab and found a computer that was sti ll in working order. I put in the disk and pulled up the iive or six saved files. I found her poems and stories fun and amusin§, but nothing really useful. That is, until I got to a story called the "Crayon Factory." I read: ·crayons are born, wrapped in paper, all dressed alike. All arranged . . . gentle pressure from all sides . . . side by side . . . lined up in rows, and then the sorting begins. Everything has an order, your place in the box is preordained. Packaged and ready for life's experience . .. This was close to what I was looking for, but I still did not know my own thoughts. I then read "all lined up," the last poem: I like that arrangement before the first pouring of color. It doesn't matter, it will never be the same . . . Never arranged in quite the right order Some tips worn off The neighbors may have changed. We are all born in the same way, just as the crayons are born. When we come to St. Albert, we are wrapped alike. Our wrappings are our school uniforms. We are packaged in the St. Albert green and gold and are put in the box called St. Albert. Even though we all are wrapped alike here, we each become our own separate color. Each person's color is not the same as any other color in the St. Albert box. Each color shines through in the activities he or she is involved in. We also shine by relating with t e other colors in our box. Since this is the last act I am performing, I have seen this "True Colors" yearbook come together in fine fashion. have witnessed the many different colors in our box excel, and sometimes fail, in academics and activities. So here they are. Some colors are smudged, some are worn, some are used, some are just perfect, some are bright and some just tend to hide in the background. Enjoy looking at the 1997 /98 year of the colors in the box we like to call St. Albert.

From Poppies lunchboxes to mid-terms and that scary first day of driving, the jour- .ney to graduation has been an exciting one for the class of 1998. There have been notable firsts, high academic achievements, and phenomenal athletic records credited to the class of 1998. And as each individual continues their journey through life, may they always have someone whose path they can follow, someone who admires their path enough to follow them, and most importantly, someone to walk the path alongside them. ~ ~~--- ----~--~-~ --~- ~ Watertight "Direct Hit" Rob Turner takes aim on a helpless victim and fires.

When asked about the most significant thlng in their weekend, 24% of those surveyed responded SLEEP! Above: seniors Ken Graeve, Stephanie Roste.rmundt and Alex Estell model their sleepwear. Below: Junior Chad Schoening stocks merchandise while sophomore Blake Roux (right) proves that there IS a helpful smile in every aisle at Hy-Vee. 26 Student Life Above: Senior snoozers Marti Bartholomew, Megan VanScoy, and Sarah Stronck show us proper form and technique. Work 57% surveyed work outside the home, 9% have jobs around the house including babysitting, cooking and cleaning, and 18 % say they are responsible for both. The overwhelming asset to having a job is apparently the money (36%). The ne t hest thing is friendly coworkers (31 % ). Play Of 67 surveyed, weekends found 81 % with friends, 24 % alone, and 18% spending time on other activities such as homework, church, and work. As for friends, 51 % say their buds are mostly from SA, 24 % say they hang with friends from other schools, and 24 % say they have fri ends from both. The best hangouts? Friends' houses, say 70 % . 16 % prefer sporting events, 13 % opt for movies, and 10 % voted for restaurants. 43 % surveyed must be home between midnight and l:OOam, 34 % have no curfew, and the r est ranged from lO:OOpm to 2:00am.

Student Life 27 What Do You Like? Many trends have been observed at SA. Below are a few prominent examples of trends and fads. See how many are yours. Fab Fashion! Fashion is a major part of any teens' life. From what to wear on grub day to what to look stylin' in at the dance, fashion is an always an issue. This year saw a dramatic 70's Retro movement, including bell bottoms and polyester, which (needless to say) the Dimensions staff thought was DYNO-MITE! Take a look at some of the other ''happening" styles .... Above: Seniors Heather Johnson and Ashley Wills show off their Homecoming duds. Left: Luke Martin smiles winningly, glad that his fashion sense has finally been recognized. Bottom Left: Juniors Mary Burgett and Michelle Grote prove that there are even different styles of uniforms. Mary (right) models the pommers' uniform, while Michelle shows off the volleyball jersey and traditional skirt. On opposite page (clockwise from top) Compact Disks are a favorite music media for teenagers; these are some of the favorites of various tastes, a glam leopard skin pen shows just how far Americas' infatuation with faux fur has gone, Doc Marten boots are all the rage (as proved by the lovely 02 study hall inhabitants), Christina Hasenkamp strikes a pose, showing the long wavy hair that is popular among teenage girls, and (center) Danny Reilly models a fashion all his own. 28 Student Life Fads! What was "in" in '96 and '97? Trends went in and out like clockwork. Dr. Marten Boots were all the rage, clogs became cool, and the color lime green started mysteriously popping up everywhere. Glitter eyeshadow and nail polish became the makeup of choice for some girls, while others stuck with their more traditional routines. Leopardskin, zebra, and snakeskin prints showed up on everything from swimsuits to bathrobes (faux, of course), and some guys began sporting painted nails but never the color pink-boys mostly sport shades of blue, green and pur:ple ... perhaps inspired by CK Jeans ads showing a blue-nailed boy? As for movies, the natural disaster theme was popular (Twister, Earthquake, Daylight, Volcano) and in music, alternative is still #1, according to a student survey conducted in fall of '96. Other trends: anything with "froggies" on it, toe rings, body piercing, and bracelets and necklaces spelling out your name.

Laughter and tears. So much to learn. But we always knew we'd survive. Stand aside, take a glance. We can't stop the changing times. We must release our fears and keep the memories forever in our minds. There's lonely places and ugly faces. Sometimes we'll forget who we are. Justl hink back and remember. Somewhere children are playing. A crowd cheers in the stands. The boy who once stood on that field has now become a man. We could sit among friends and never forget how it felt at that second, moment, instant. So go ahead and cry. But take my advice ... Stand back, take a look ... these are the days of our lives. - Becky Nutter Student Life 33 PROM Business Manager Heather Johnson PROM NOTABLES *Ken Graeve and Annie Heithoff were crowned King and Queen. *Mrs. Mooney, Father Hobt, and Mr. Drummond shared the pleasure and thrill of sponsorship. *Juniors raised over $4000 to pay f or Prom decorations, music, and Prom mementoes.

The 1996 St. Albert footbalJ team had another fi ne season last fall, finishing with a stellar 8-1 record. Despite the sad death of long-time coach Al Leber and the almost perennial small size of the team, this was one of the most successful seasons in recent years. 'There is a sense of pride in being part of a terun ," said j unior flanker Jake Driver. "It's a group you'll always be a part of." The team rolled to several exciting victories over the course of the season, including a 23-22 victory over WestwoodWhiting and a thrilling 21 -20 win over MapleValley. At one point, the terun was ranked # J in Southwest Iowa (according to the Daily Nonpared), and even dented the state ratings with a #9 ranking in class 2A. If not for an unfortunate, season-ending 13- 10 loss at Missouri Valley, the team would have been district champion and made the playoff for the first time si nce 1991. Despite the disappointment of the Missouri Valley game , the l996 team was anything but a failure, and, hopefully this season will be a blueprint for easons to come.

Finishing strong at each meet and capturing a 2nd place at Distri cts guaranteed the team a spot at the State meet in Fort Dodge. It was then that each runner stepped up to the challenge and proved themselves worthy by capturing a 13th place team fi nish with senior Joe Kuehl taking 3rd place individually. Kuehl ended his season with the MVP award and made All-State with his perfo rmance. Each member of this team deserves praise for their hard work and effort and should be recognized for their outstanding talent. Mr. Heithoff had trouble with the concept that these people actually liked running miles at a time. "I never quite understood why anyone would run if no one was chasing them. But if you like to go to State and wear your hair funky, then it's a good thing to do", he said. If Joe Kuehl's new "do's" fo r each of his State appearances and the team's record say anything, it is that this good thing will never end.

Student Life 105 106 AI Leber 1919-1996 Al Leber was one of the greatest people to grace St. Albert with his presence. He was always present in the school, on the field, and around the school in general. His influence has been felt by all who have attended1 will attend, and are attending St. Albert High School. They may not have been touched directly by him, but everyone who walks through the halls of St. Albert has been affected by him. Al Leber was a coach for numerous sports at St. Albert. He taught classes at the high school. He was always pushing for a better St. Albert both in the cJassroom and on the athletic field. Although most people didn' t get to work with him directly, they knew of him or what he had done. When we think of great people of St. Albert, Al Leber is one of the first, if not the first, to come to mind. By: Dimension '97 Staff Memories ... Al Leber displaying the pike he caught on a trip to Minnesota, in 1990. Coach Leber was known for his love of the outdoors, along with his love for the community of St. Albert. The Soul of a Friend By: Tom Houser A short time ago, there was a coach at St. Albert High School. The coach's name was Al Leber. He was probably the best friend a guy could have. Coach Leber didn't yell and scream. He simply just asked, "Why don 't you try it this way?" It usually ended up that his way was the best. On October 3rd, 1996, he died of a heart attack in Glenwood, Iowa. Although Coach Leber died, his spirit will live on at St. Albert. The day after Coach Leber passed away, the football players had the toughest game of their season. Friday night's varsity game was probably the best game I have ever seen St. Albert play. I, along with the rest of the Freshman football team, suited up for that fate filled game against the Rebels from Westwood-Whiting. I stood on the sideline yelling myself hoarse the whole game. A feeling of p1ide kicked in as the stadium began to get louder and louder as the end of the game neared. We won the game, but we lost. We lost a coach, a leader, and most of all, a friend. The presence of Al Leber was with every St. Albert football player that night. Coach Leber' s soul will live on in the heart of every player who ever puts on a Green and Gold jersey. 107 Above : Senior Joe Kuehl won the Class 2A 3200 meter run at Drake University in Des Moines.

Groundbreaking happened twice at S.A. during 1996-1997. First the sod was broken for the new 300 wing. Students moved into the new !Vlusic Center and Art Center during the second semester. These beautiful new facilities pictured here offer new space for the expanding Fine Arts Department and are a special tribute to all those who support our school. Shovels again hit the dirt, this time as an extension onto the 500 wing of the school. The new Science and Technology wing promises to bring state of the art facilities for science, mathematics, and computers. As the physical plant continues to expand, the mission of Saint Albert remains ever the same; a solid Catholic education for the community of Council Bluffs. Right: Once again the sod is turned with the promise of a rich harvest. The groundbreaking pictures the members of the St. Albert Educational Foundation: Mr. Jon Narmi, Bishop Joseph Cha rron, Dr. J ohn Cronin, Mr. Stt:ve O'Neill, Mr. Pat Hensley, Mr. Gaylord Epperson, and Mr. Ron Thompson. The old tennis courts shall be transformed into a beautiful new wing for science and technology. The wing will include a glassed in atrium filled with plants for study by the Biology students, new Chemistry labs and equipment, and many other features. The academic future is bright for the growing student population a t St. Albert. (Photo by Cail /n,.in) Above: Senior Colin O'Toole works diligently in the new Art Room. Brilliantly lit by a large plate glass window, the art room provides an excellent environment for students to expand their appreciation of other ways of learning.

Dr. Cronin, Ken Graeve, Mrs. Wandersee, Charlie Narmi, Annie Driver, Sarah Burke, Bob Jordan, and Linda Primmer are directed by a CB Ambassador. From this inauspicious beginning the new Art and Music facilities emerged. (Photo by Marc Petersen) Left: The ICN Network room was constructed in the fall of 1996. This state-of-the-art fiber optics classroom is equipped with the latest technology. SA students can interact in real time with other students and faculty connected to the over 400 ICN sites across the state. Mr. Mike Irwin of the AEA gave the faculty an in-service in the room in the spring. Students have already ust:d the room to interactively tou r J oslyn Mllseum, in teract with stud ent councils across t he state, and network with other schools.

Take It To The Limit In the classroom, out on the field or court, and in organizations, the students of St. Albert rose above and beyond their horizons to achieve success, to "take it to the limit." "Rising above the rest," students became involved in organizations formed at school, as well as in the community. Each individual left their mark of success. With homework piled up to their necks, cramming for tests, and college credit courses, students accepted "the ultimate challenge" of making the grade. Filling the shoes of senior standouts that graduated, athletes put it in "maximum overdrive" and worked as a team to achieve goals that were made at the beginning of the seasons. After a long week of school, students took a break and lived "life in the fast lane," as they went out on the weekends. Going to the movies, cruising Broadway, walking through the Old Market and Con Agra, or just spending a night in front of the t.v., were some ways to enjoy time with friends. Throughout the 1992-93 school year, students represented their school in many different areas and did it with pride. The year was definitely one to remember, a year to, "take it to the limit."

This only means one thing, it's summer vacation. It's time to forget about school and enjoy yourself. People traveled to many places over the summer. Senior Theresa Eich went to her sister and brother-inlaws house in Arlington Heights, which is right outside of Chicago, "I went to the White Sox game and it was so cold my feet almost froze. I really liked my vacation because I was with my family. I never see them, so it felt really good to be with everyone on my vacation," said Eich. Senior Jenni Tobias traveled to Colorado with classmate Jenny Hotz. They went to Boulder and Denver. "I really liked this vacation because I got to spend quality time with Jen before school started," said Tobias. Some people spend their whole or mosCof their summer in a different state. Freshman Kris Shannon spent a month and a half in San Francisco. "I spent most of my time working at a YMCA day camp," said Shannon. Junior Jeff Davis traveled to North Carolina with his whole family. "I basically hung around the beach and went to monuments with the family," said Davis. The rest of the summer was spent going out and lounging. "I slept in, watched t. v., did work around the house," said Eich. Being the water type, Shannon spent a lot of time at Wilson pool. Sophomore Ann Narmi spent her summer at drivers ed, but she really didn't enjoy her summer because it was too cold. Now that summer's over, vacationing is done. We can just sit and wait, or dream about what we're going to do or try next summer.

Firrsl day ofr school blues The alarm goes off and before you know it, you' ve slept your summer away, and it's back to school. Students got themselves together from a three month break, for yet another long and exciting year at S.A. For some, it was just the begining, and the beginning of the end for others. It was the same ol' same ol' for the rest. But they all have one thing in common, the first day of school. What's so great about the first day of school? Junior Amy Davis said, "The newness of it all, everyone actually does their hair." Senoir Eric Points said, "It was a scary feeling knowing it is my last year here at S.A." No matter what the year, the first day of school is one you can never forget. Senior Mike Bjork is sure not to forget his, "My car's engine blew up at the bottom of the hill. Luckily, I wasn't tardy, that would have been all I needed! " Sophomore Alicia Sanchez said, "I hated the first day of school, my new shoes gave me blisters! " Senior Michele Konz added, "The worst thing that happened to me was waking up!" Davis stated, "The first day of school is one out of many that you are ready for, you are excited to see all of your friends that you missed over the summer." When it's time to put away the oil, deflate the beachballs and get out the books and new shoes, it's a sure sign your first day of school is nearing. Be ready for anything. Who knows, it could be your car that dies. By: Jenny Hotz Seniors Michelle Mc Vey, Alexis Becerra, Jenny Christensen, and J e1.1ny Hotz start off their year with lunch in the lobby.

This year St. Albert had a few new additions, our new principal, Mr. Tony Jaworski arid vice principal, Dr. Bruce McCoy. ' Mrs. Beckman said, "I feel very comfortable with the new administration." St. Albert also has in its midst two new teachers, Mrs. Jeanette Kenney and Mrs. Linda Shackett. Mrs. Kenney said she enjoys teaching high school students again. - Kenny said, "S.A. provides an environment where students are responsive to academic challenges." Mrs. Shackett teaches Spanish 1 and exploratory Spanish. She doesn't feel that St. Albert is very different from any other school. A very noticeable change is the P.E. classes. This year the P.E. classes were graded. Students took skill tests and written tests. They were exposed to everything from volleyball to archery. Students weren't too sure of what to think of this new system, but in the end, found that they enjoyed P.E. and had a lot of fun. The overall feelings at St. Albert were of confidence, enthusiasm and a general sense of excitement.

But screw your courage to the sticking place and we will not fail!" Left: Angel Bernemann concentrates on the next question in the grueling P.E. archery test. This new phenomanon was a strange twist to students as they took the first of many tests in P.E. 7 Teachers for Students There are many experiences when starting high school. Attending a new school or seeing new and different faces. It's hard to get to know people when friends have already been established. That's where the teachers come in. Not only are teachers here to help us learn, they are also here to help us get through the tough spots in our lives. Many students have certain teachers as one of their close friends. For senior Scott Smith, Fr. Bud is more then just the priest we all know and love. "To me, Bud is more then just a teacher. He's also a good friend that I can count on, who will always be there for me." Smith isn't the only one who has close ties to Fr. Bud. Many other students feel a closeness to him as well. Junior Mark Willms said, "Bud seems like he's 500 years old because he knows so much, but it's like he's still in high school. He's really easy to talk to." Another senior with a close friendship to a teacher is Jenny Hotz. She and Ms. McGuire have been friends since her freshman year. "We usually go out to dinner before all the games. She's someone I can turn to for advice on anything. She always gives me her honest opinion." Sometimes students need more then just their peers for advice, and in those instances, there's always a teacher willing to do what they can to help. By: Jenni Tobias 8 Above: Fr. Bud and Chad Arnold are good friends during school hours and outside of school, as Fr. Bud had a close friendship to many of his students.

Often times, students looked to thier teachers as someone they could talk to, not just about school work but personal problems as well. 9 Vice-president Dan Quayle paid the Heartland a visit during the long months of the election process. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans voted for the Democratic party, saying farewell to Bush and Quayle. Thurogood Marshall, the first black justice of the Supreme Court, died January 24, 1993. In the struggle for racial equality, he designed the legal strategy for attacking dejure segregation and led the attack. The World • • 1992 was the year of the Olympics, held in Albertville, France and Barcelona, Spain. Some of the greatest athletes of the world participated, but there was only one who took the gold home to their country. An American participates in the diving competition, hoping for a perfect performance. A look at the past and a hope conservative opposition, he take the law ~or the fiuture into his own hands, sparking a constitu1 ~ ti onal crisis that threatened to divide It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and yet this world has survived another day, only to wonder what tomorrow wiJJ bring. 1992-93- what was so significant about this period in time? What will we remember most about this year? It was a year when the citizens of the United States sought a new change and elected a democratic president- Bill Clinton, along with his sidekick, Al Gore. Hurricanes and other natural disasters were common, as Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in late August, and not long after, Hurricane Iniki struck the Hawaiian Islands. We cannot forget the Texas 10 flood, which caused much damage for the Texan residents. Minor earthquakes occured, too. The winter Olympics were held in Albertville, France, while Barcelona, Spain was the location of the summer Olympics. The greatest athletes from around the world competed agai nst each other, with only one hope implanted in their heart, the gold medal. The issue of abortion was a big one, as many pro-life protesters stood by abortion mills and were arrested on sight. Lakers' basketball star, Magic Johnson, was in the lime]jght for some time due to retiring from the spolt because of becoming infected with HIV. Internationally, there was Boris Yeltsin who became fed up with Russia. In Bosnia, f~ 1m rly known as Yugoslavia, a civil war broke out, as people were fighting over issues that happened some time ago, yet they brought them out again. As we look back on the events of the year, the question that is on most of our minds is, will the 2 1st century be for the better or worse yet? Will the environment continue to waste away or will we open our eyes and realize our planet is in dire need of help? Will scientists find a cure for AIDS, cancer, or something as simple as the common cold? Will computers or other advanced technology take over the work of humans? There is hope for a future, and although one person can make a difference, we must gather together to make this world a better place to live. By Angel Bernemann The environment is a problem that the world needs to open their eyes to and stop taking so much for granted, before we end up losing it. One way to help out is by the simple action of recycling. The AIDS quilt was brought to Omaha, Nebraaska, where many people paid tribute to the victims of the disease. Each section of the quilt represented the love family and friends had for the victims and the memory that still lives on of them. Serbian soldiers take over control of the government in Bosnia and prepare to engage in war. The civil dispute went on for several months. Many natural disasters struck the nation during 1992-93. Among them was Hurricane Andrew which left part of the state of Florida in shambles. A victim of the hurricane is in awe as he is surrounded by what used to be his office. Just after Hurricane Andrew hit Florida, another hurricane was well under way- this time it was Hurricane Iniki that caused disater and destruction to the Hawaian islands. A cluster of apartment complexes are damaged by strong winds and heavy rainfall. Leaving more than 5 ft. of rain to deal with, the Texas flood brought much damage to the property of Texan residents. Nebraska also had problems with rain, as the Platte River spilled over the banks, flooding towns in the metro area. 11 Below: George Bush and Dan Quayle show their enthusiasm of their nominations at the Republican National Convention.

Three men with one common goal, a dream, perhaps, that they've held since they were children, to be President of the United States. There was a self-made multi-millionaire, a governor, and an incumbant. There was mudslinging, promises, mishaps, and values. All three suffered abuse by the media, and all three chose to have their lives held up for ridicule and praise the minute they threw their hats in the ring. As fairly as possible, we, the journalism staff, have compiled information for you, so that you will get the whole story of the campaign. Not just bits and pieces of a candidate's life. From the beginning of the campaign to the very end, these next few pages will inform you of your ex-president, your current president, and your almost president. George Bush, Bill Clinton and H. Ross Perot were the candidates, and this is the story of their work, ethics, private lives, and promises. 12 By: Jenni Tobias Left: Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton are working women in their own right.

It was the 1992 Presidential Election. The battle for the presidency slowly dwindled to two candidates, then current President, George Bush and Arkansas Governer Bill Clinton. Clinton and his running-mate, Tennessee Senator Al Gore, took bus tours through various small towns in an effort to win the hearts of voters. 14 T1 0 Perhaps one of the most publicized stories involved Bill Clinton andcabaret singer Gennifer Flowers. According to Star Magazine, Clinton had a steamy, twelve-year affair with Flowers. Of course, Clinton denied all accusations, but Flowers went so far as to going on the Sally Jesse Raphael Show to make "their story" public. Once this story was out of the limelight, another tale concerning Clinton came into the hands of the public. The LA Times wrote that Clinton's uncle, Raymond Clinton, managed to The 1992 delay his inducton into the Army by lobbying board-members on his nephew's behalf. Raymond also secured a place in the Navy Reserve Unit, but young Clinton never applied for the opening. After being classifi ed a l -A officer, Clinton remained civilian for 10 months, and after agreeing to become part of the ROTC to stay out of trouble, once again, he failed to show up for enrollment. Should these issues from the past be brought to the surface t*Bush *Clinton *Perot*Bush *Clinton *Perot Campaign History past be brought to the surface during the election? Clinton was not the only one who had to sit in the hotseat. President Bush's running-mate, Dan Quayle, got more than his share of publicity after criticizing a national sitcom. CBS's "Murphy Brown" aired an episode in which Candice Bergan, portraying a single woman, had a baby. Upon seeing this telecast, Vice-President Quayle held a press confere nce stating that it is not right to be condoning sex and childbirth outside of marraige. This brought about many opinions, including remarks from Bergan herself, defending her role and the dedication of all single mothers. Both President Bush and Vice-President Quayle are Pro-Life supporters. This brings about the next topic, family values. Bush and Quayle are both ProLife Supporters. Taking this side of the abortion issue makes a lot of people uneasy, but the two have expressed their reasons for their support. Clinton is strongly against abortion. In fact, he and his wife Hillary have been quite Far left: George Bush speaks of the future at a ralley for his re-election. Bush, a republican, served eight years as vice-president and four years as president, found that what America really wanted was a change in our government. Bush has held every position in public office. Middle: Democratic president, Bill Clinton, speaks of the upcoming changes that will be made in his presidency. Clinton was Governor of Arkansas for 12 years. He was one of the most qualified candidates, next to Bush. Many of Clinton's reforms are aimed at the middle class, to try and give the blue- collar workers a break. Left: H. Ross Perot, a self-made multimillionaire, promised change and lower taxes for the middle class of America. His promises, along with the fact that he used his own money to run his campaign, enticed the American people, but did not get him the position he was hoping for. Toward the middle of the race, Perot dropped out, but he was always lurking about in the shadows, and eventually dropped back into the race, but still fell short. big on the family issue. He feels that government programs should preserve famil y values. Some may find Clinton's attitude hard to swallow since he is a homosexual supporter. Today's society often finds it difficult to accept homosexual as a normal haps. Though values are important, there is still the question of which man will do the best job in the White House. The answer lies within the hearts and minds of the people, but, of course, anything can happen. By Patti Stephens 15 Bush#Clinton#Perot#Bush#Clinto The 1992 Election Candidates Here we are, another four years have passed, and Americans are faced with the same question again, "Which presidential candidate should I vote for?" Voting is not an easy thing to do, it's going to affect the next fo ur years of your life . So the first step in voting is to know the candidates. Sure, it's hard to see through all of the promises of how they'll change our nation, but it's your job to decide if you really believe and trust in them. This election, the three candidates were President George Bush, Bill Clinton, and H. Ross Perot. Both Bush and Clinton have had political backrounds, but at that point, many voters had turned on President Bush, the Republ ican cand idate. He seemed to think it was because of the shape of the economy. While Bush was preparing for his second election, a few of his promises were to veto Democratic spending bills, to give farmers more substitutes, push for a voucher system, and remain antiabortion. But who was to say he would follow through with any of those things? Many Americans were complaining that he didn ' t do anything he said he would in the last election. He told Newsweek in an interview that people just don ' t know about and realize all of his accomplishments, they just see everything he hasn' t done. He also said he was pl anning to build on those accomplishments. Bush wasn' t doing too well at that point, but he also told Newsweek that he.

Above: The jr. high held their own election, including rallies with persuasive speeches full of their ideas for "change" for our school, and also had campaign signs with slogans, running mates, and campaign managers. Right: Former vice-president, Dan Quayle, shook hands and made speeches all year long in order to get his counterpart, George Bush and himself re-elected. Unfortunately for Quayle, he fell short of his promises and will no longer be a part of our government, but a part of history. "Wasn't going to sit back and let Clinton walk all over him, he was going to fi ght." The second candidate was Bill Clin ton, from the Democratic party, who was formerl y the Governor of Arkansas. Many peopl e thought of him as a hard worker because he worked his way thro ugh coll ege and had come that far when he started out with nothing. He dropped out of the race in 1988 due to family problems, but was still going strong. Some of the things he planned to do in the next four years was raise taxes for the wealthy and give tax breaks to the middl e class, sign the family leave bill, and force employers to provide health care for their employees. He believed that although change is painful, it's needed, and our country needs a lot of changes. The third candidate was H. Ross Perot. He dropped out of the race once, but then dec ided to re-enter. Perot was a multi-millionaire who was very down to earth. He believed the country needed a lot of change. so it won' t all have to lie on the younger generation so much. He planned to lower the nation's defecit, and put a 50 cent tax on gas. All of the candidates were bound and determined, and fought till the end. But as it was stated before, get to know the candidates, because an educated vote is the only way to go.

The Texas billionare had said he would spend 100 million or whatever it takes of his multi-billion fortune he made in computer business, to get elected president. With the millions of doll ars spent, Perot still fa iled to win even one state in the popular election. Although his intentions were good, he didn ' t have the pull to win the election.

These are the three academic groups that a number of students participate in. To be a part of National Honor Society, you must have a cummulative GPA of 3.25, show qualities of leadership and character, plus provide community service. Once you're in NHS, you must keep your GPA intact, and do a minimum of 10 service hours a year. The three levels in Academic Decathlon are Honors, Varsity, and Scholastic. To be eligible for the Honors level, the GPA has to be 3.75-4.00, for the Scholastic, 3.00-3.74, and for the Varsity, anything below a 2.99. There is one tournament, the regional match, which was held at T.J. in February. There is also the Brain Bowl Team, which was held at U.N.O. Mrs. Wise, the sponsor, said, "We had a wonderful turnout this year." The team is made up of juniors and seniors, and it involves a lot of work. The competition is telev ised, which may make the questions harder to answer, with the added pressure of keeping your composure in front of the cameras. It's a lot of work, but it all paid off when it came time to show off the intellect the students most certainly possess.

Stude nt Council has many responsibilities. They collec t pop can · at least once a week to be recycled, they sponsor the siste r c ity program and take care of all the Homecoming activities. This is the first year Ms. Virgie Oatman was in charge of the student council. She took on her first big responsibility, the magazine sales. When they have the money collected they have to decide what to spend it on. In years past the money was spent on the computer lab. This is Oatman 's first year as sponsor for the student council. She said , "Sometimes it's stressful , but it helps when the students volunteer." How can one think of high school and not think of student council ? They always seem to go hand-in-hand .

Senior Becky Michels said, "A Thespian is someone who is involved in theater, with acting and behind the scenes work. It requires many years of experience doing theater work to be considered a Thespian." Throughout the school year, students practi ced with drama teacher Mr. Wilson, on various aspects of drama. Michels, a fo ur year member of the speech group, stated, '"It's a fun way to get experi ence in acting." From reporting, to speaking and acting, St. Albert is known for its journa lism and Thespian departments. On a more in fo rmati ve note, the journalism one and two students did the ir part to keep the students info rmed, with the yearbook Dimensions and the newspaper, the Acc ipiter.

Peanuts perform at S.A. ''You're A Good Man Charlie Brown'' The comic strip, Peanuts, came alive under the spotlight and in the students of St. Albert, as the drama/music department premiered the fall musical, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Juniors Danny Stock, Shawn Jones, Carolyn Wulff, Andy Murray and Matt Clayton, along with senior Erin Walsh, fil led 32 the positions of the leading parts, while other students involved in the chorus contributed an important part in making the musical complete. "Fun and enlightening, the story line is not flowing but bits and pieces from every part of the stage are deli vered by the characters," said drama teacher, Mr. Wilson. Only seeing the final product, one does not realize just how much work and time goes into preparing a musical before opening night. Practices day after day to perfect the deli very of lines and work on cracking vocal cords took up most of the students time, aside from school. "You're a Good Man. Charlie Brown," was a production consisting of a wide vari ety of cast members, both experienced and talented. As : result, the musical was ~ success, as one of America's favorite cartoon strips was brought to life on the stage.

Finds "Fame'' Fame, is what this years drama students were searching for, and, with old talent and new, they certainly found it. There was a great deal of learning and success in these perfonning arts. Individual speech had nine members that competed in areas, varying from poetry to acting. After a strong performance at the district level, the team took seven of their members to the state competition in Des Moines. When asked about her individual speech experiece sophomore Chrissy Orwig said "I had a lot of fun. I was extremely hyper before I performed, and afterwards I knew that I had done a good job." They had a very good showing and look forward to competing next year. The spring play "Fame", the story of a New York Perfonning Arts High School, will always bring back great "Memories" for the cast. Feelings like the show will never be ready, turned into "when do we go on?" The spring show had old members and new, a mixture that worked well for the show. The new members gained experience, and the older had the chance to put their ideas to work, while developing their leadership skill. The final show was a special one for the seniors. Seniors Becky Michels and Stacy Mcintosh said "We worked really hard, to make our last show at St. Albert one to remember." Students played a Large part in producing the show with their work on lights, set, chorographery, and helping each other to their hjghest potential. The Saint Albert theatrical department proved to be successful in 1992 and 93, by showing and growing in their talents. Those that are leaving will greatly mjss St. Albert, and the little department they are leaving behind.

Embarrassment, it's something that happens to everyone. Whether it be teacher or student, we have all had moments that we feel would win on "America's Funniest Home. Videos." What do you think is the mosr embarrassing moment? Maybe it's one of junior Jess Brown's. When she was five, she was at her sister's softball game, and was sitting on a fence and went to jump down. Instead of reaching the ground, her shorts were caught on the fence, causing her to hang by the them providing a full moon for everyone to see. Maybe it's senior Angel Bernemann's, who had a little memory lapse at the gas station. Bernemann thought she had a five dollar bill, but she only had a one dollar bill. She had to go in and explain to the clerk what had happened, and she had to leave her hcense at Texaco until she could get the money. To top everything off, the clerk asked her if she wanted a car wash for the road. Ms. McGuire's most embarrassing moment was when she was in Mexico. She was riding a horse on a tour and the saddle came loose and she ended up underneath the horse. She then refused to get back on the horse. So whether it be to teacher or students, embarrassing moments happen to everyone.

How Embarrassing! 37 Students on Parade Is it a dream or did everyone really just get out of bed? Of course it s not a dream, it's just the beginning of Homecoming Week. It all started on Sunday, when cheerleaders, student council, and many other students gathered to decorate the school for the up-coming week. Dress up days consisted of Monday- pajama day, Tuesday- dress up day, Wednesday- opposite day, Thursday- 60's/Brady day, and Friday- spirit day. Students, faculty, and parents all gathered for the festivities Thursday night at the pep ralley. The highlights of the night varied from seeing Brian Marshall's unique dancing style, to Matt Heenan eating- or was it wearing-the apple sauce. Finally, the crowning of the king and queen, Brendan Ryan and Amber Ausdemore. Friday night the Falcons, although they played hard, were defeated by Carrol. This leaves us with Saturday night, "The Dance" which ironically was the theme for the 1992 Homecomjng. The dance was the highlight of many people's week, and what better way to end such a fun-fiJled week?

What a group! 39 Twist and shout to the beat Dances.... You probably thought about Homecoming, the Christmas Dance or maybe even the dance that got moved so many times, due to the weather or sports, the Valentines Dance. "The Dance" by Garth Brooks was the Homecoming theme this year. Even though we didn 't win the game, people still found a way to have a great time. Some people didn 't go, either because they didn 't have money or a date. But not having a date didn't stop too many people. Remember the Christmas dancethere wasn't a theme, but, a lot of people had tons of fun. The freshman class decorated it so there would be a more festive look about it. Ohhh... The Valentines Dance, or should I say, the St. Patrick's Day dance. Maybe if you think about a, "Bed of Roses"-or maybe a bed of shamrocks-it wiJJ remind you of au the fun you had at this dance. Memories of dances wil.l always be with you through out your life so have as much fun at the dances you have left.

If you only had one of those cool jean shirts that it seems everyone else has. Fashion affects teens' lives sooner or later. The clothes teens' wear bring out their personality. "People classify you by what you're wearing and it allows you to express yourself," said junior Carrie McGruder. "I have more important things to worry about than what clothes to_ wear," said senior Mike Doner. Hair can be very important too. (By the way you do it, or how long or how short it is.) There are many different ways you can do it. "I can do my hair gross, meaning I don't really care, or I can do it wild, meaning I'm ready to go out feeling that I look good," said McGruder. Here at St. Albert, our part of fashion, (style) is harder to express, because of our dress code. There are different opinions on our school dress code. "Uniforms are good, they set us off from everyone else. It makes us look good, instead of looking like public schools running around in trash," said Doner. McGruder stated, "Uniforms aren 't fair because we can 't express ourselves, it limits our ways to express the way we feel. " The ways SA students can express themselves is by jewelry, shoes, and hair. Their are many trends and ways to make an expression.

"Captured in a dream" was the theme this year, and it was presented by the junior class. The juniors decorated for the prom, and used everything from balloons to a fountain, to make it one of the best proms ever. As junior class President Amy Davis said, "Decorating was a lot of work, and it would've been a lot easier if more people would have showed up to help us out." · Although it was very time consuming, the help that they did have.transformed the gym into a beautiful place that the junior and senior class will remember. At the close of the evening, seniors Alexis Becerra and John Hromdka were crowned king and queen, and the whole prom court danced to the theme song, "Imagine", by John Lennon. Post-prom was to be held at the Terra Jane Country Inn, but because of the rainy weather, it was held at school. Casino games and door prizes were part of the festivities, along with all the food you could eat. Once again , prom was a success, and it will continue to be, as long as we have the support and care that we have in the past.

The goal of each runner on the girls cross country team was to prepare for state with each race and have a good time along the way. With runners at the tarting line, hearts pounding, the race started. Fans were cheering throughout the whole course, but the most noticeable fan was the coach John Shorey. The runners looked to him for encouragement and advice. Running isn't appealing to some people, but the Saintes worked hard and still had fun. They did a lot of things together, as if they were a little family. The Saintes were happy with what they achieved in the 1992 season. Their goals were to do better at state, and have a good time.

Senior Hasenkamp showed off the confident attitude of the Falcons saying, "State was easier than some of our practices, and we walk in those." The cross country team was unified, like the old days and had better attitudes. In whole, they were more confident, more talented and more experienced than ever before and it showed in Ames.

"We came together as a team and by the end of the season, we won many games," said sophomore Koleen Lancia!. The Saintes practiced everyday after school and worked just as hard as the varsity. Practices were the same as last year, they helped more with fundamentals. The freshmen games were held after school and the junior varsity preceeded the varsity. The girls looked more promising as the sea on went on. They developed good attitudes, and better skills. They were also stronger in working as a team. The Saintes enthusiasm was on the up side, always trying to keep their spitits high, so if they lost they could say that they did their best.

This was in the minds of the junior varsity football team throughout the season. The JV Falcons ended their year with a record of 3-4. Sophomore Joe Hargens said, "We could've done better, I mean if I could change anything, I would want to win more games. But everything we did was worth the effort." Matt Graeve, a first-time football player, admitted that he was quite intimidated coming into the high school level as a new guy, but he had a lot of motivation. When asked what or who kept him going, he answered quietly and simply, "my brother." The first year of football left a positive impression on Graeve, for he looks forward to the upcoming season. "We can and we will do better," said Graeve. Attitudes like this show how much determination and desire is carried onto and off of the football field. The freshman Falcons had quite a successful year. First row L-R: John Stronk, Tom Hughes, Joe Stuhr, Warren Mohn, Chad Smith.

The kids worked above and beyond their potential." Taking the first big step toward that varsity uniform can sometimes be scary, but Falcon Mike Simmons said, "I wasn't really scared, I played last year, so it wasn't a big change. Mr. Rew really kept me going, though." Frosh player Ray Gibson said, "We did better than last year. We pulled together to play more as a team." Teamwork is definitely a factor in any team's success, and it looks like the Falcons had what it took to succeed.

Falcons Give Their Heart and Soul The record for the Ymsity Falcons was 3-6 this year, but one can't use a record as a guide for the other accomplishments that made the season a success in the team's heat1s and minds. Senior stat1dout Matt Young, summed it all up by saying, "The season was aU right. I meat1, you can't tell by the record, but I had fun ai1d that's all that counts." As is true in eve1y senior's life, they must leave behind some of the things that meai1t the most to them.

Players on the freshman team played double their share as well. The freshman players, played a strong back- up to the junior varsity Saintes.

The varsity girl 's basketball team went 14-9 this year, and were crowned district champions, beating both A.L. and T.J.

Without much crowd support during their season, the Saintes were still able to keep their head up, and do what they set out to do, play basketball . Junior Arny Davis said, " I thought the crowd support was pretty weak. It eemed like half the time people didn 't know we had games." But, despite the small numbers in the stand , there were few complaints, and the Saintes fi nished with a season that made everyone proud. Next year, the season should be just as exciting, with many of the same players returning. Hopefully, the Sainte will then get the crowd support which would be greatly appreciated.

Tee Time for Boys Golf Fore! is what you hopefully won't hear when you watch the golf team in a tournament. When the golf team started practice in March they had some goals for the season. Coach Heithoff told us the goals for the team this season were, " to win the NCC tourney, and the other is to challenge in each tournament so we are ready for the sectionals at the end of the season.

Sautter, Smith and Ronfeldt had some varsity experience last year. McGruder was a freshman that challenged the big boys for a spot. Heithoff stated "I enjoy the times we had out on the cour e. The stories that later become legends. Otherwise, coaching golf at tournaments is waiting even hours for the last man to come in. It's worth it if we do well, but it's alway fun to be around the golfers.

The practices are tough, they condition, do foot work, drills and scrimmage, they get a good workout. "Practices are good for the team, we work hard and encourage people," said junior Katie Heithoff. "Our coaches are great, they tried to take time to work with each individuals needs," said senior Jenny Schmitz If there was one thing about soccer that everyone loves it's winning, and , said senior Sara Kinart, "Molly jacking that girl at Plattev iew".

The goals of this team were basically to be positive and to do the best they could. Coach Shorey's personal goal was to try to help each individual reach their full potential. Shorey felt the key to the Saintes success was, '·everyone contributing in a po itive way." One way the team achieved their goals was through hard practice. When asked about practice senior Carolyn Go1man aid, ·'he work us hard, but it' good for us. He does what he ha to get us in shape."

Running Like the Wmd Boys' Tracksters Sprint Their Stuff Spring rolled around and the Falcons were off and running, but there was just one problem: the track meets kept getting cancelled, due to weather conditions. But this djdn 't put a stop to their tracks, as they ran day after day, practicing in rain or shine. With each track meet, it seeemed that Members of the 1992-1993 boys track team: the guys improved, there times were better and there allitude was stronger. The guys also took a road-trip to Des Moines, for the Drake Relays, where they sprinted their stuff. With nice temperatmes, finally, the true meanjng of track was put to the test.

Trus was especially true for senior Phil Hasenkarnp, as he brought home the gold in the 1600. The 4x200, consisting of seniors Matt Smith, Scott Smith, John Hromadka, and Corey Stock also participated in the relays but were unable to qualify for the final round. There was much talent, both new and old, on the 1992-93 team as they were successful in their meets and even qualified for state.

The Falcons practice three hours everyday plus two hours on Saturday. They do a variety of drills which include batting, running, throwing, and sliding. The team also works on game situations like a runner on first and third with two outs. Working on these drills helps them think quicker during the games. This season almost every position needed to be filled, and the first week there were three athletes competing for each spot. Coach Schriber has the team Above: Varsity team '93: B. Krohn, T.

"He also has previous players come up and talk to us about how to play, and what would happen if we did something wrong," said junior Jeff Harrington. "With only one senior out, the juniors will have to be looked at as the leaders too," said junior Eric Fishcer. The Falcons were a young team last season, but with hard work, dedication, and team unity, they should have success in their future. By Molly Morrison 91 Rugby: Keeping in shape is more than weights and running Rugby has become a lot more popular since it originated at the Rugby School in England in 1823. Today, the game of Rugby in its modern form, is very popular in Great Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Saint Albert. Yes, that's right, St. Albert High School. The tradition started three years ago when Fr. Bud, an experienced Rugby player, and a number of students decided to play for the fun of it. Since that time, the "club" sport has grown in size to an activity that at times involves 30 students. Like mailmen, these die hard Rugby players go at it no matter what the weather conditions. The usual uniform for a Rugby player is a jersey, shorts, and cleated shoes. But, on those cold snowy days, you won't find too many players against putting on a little extra clothing. When asked about the explosion of interest, senior Mark Bertsch said, "I think that it's so popular, because it's something new and different that people haven't done before." The Rugby players are made up of students ranging from eighth graders to seniors, teachers, and alumni. The only guidelines are that you're not out for a winter sport, and that you don't go out with the intent to hurt anyone. This is a way for students to stay fit during their off season. Along with rugby, weight lifting, running the halls, and shooting free throws, S.A. a thletes stay fit and have fun doing it. So if you fell like burning a little energy, and lifting or shooting hoops don't cut it, hunt down Fr. Bud, and find out when the next Rugby game will be played.

Right: Brendan Ryan comes off the floor after a prize performance at State Basketball. State victories on "the hill" The Saint Albert athletic department has always been something to be proud of, but even more this '93 school season. Many sports teams and individuals tried their talent on the state level, which is a great honor for any school. We had this honor more than once. First we jaunted in with boys and girls cross country in which the boys took the title of state champs, and the girls came right in with an outstanding third. Next, we wrestled our way with senior Matt Young to state, an accomplishment that hasn't been at S.A. since 1989. Then we shot our way to Des Moines with the boys basketball team, where we recieved second in the state of Iowa Chad Arnold represented St. Albert at state tennis this spring. Chad started off with his first pair of sets losing 5-7 and 1-6. Then he entered the consolation match which was much closer with the sets being 5-7, 7 -5, and 5-7. Representing St. Albert for golf 94 was junior Brad Krohn who placed 12th out of all the golfers in class 2A. The Boys Track Team was very impressive this season, coming home with the state championship. Senior standouts Corey Stock and Phil Hasenkamp led the track team to their very first state championship outdoor track meet. The two teamed up with John Hromadka and Shawn Jones in the 4x800, getting 1st place. Seniors Scott Smith and Matt Smith were a part of the winning the 1600 Medley. Phil Hasenkamp 3-peated, winning the 1600 for the third year in a row. Corey Stock got 5th place this year in the 400, which sealed the meet with 29 points. Even though soccer is not a sanctioned sport in Iowa, the Saintes captured the equivalent to state gold. Congratulations to all the competitors, St. Albert was made proud.

Juniors were one year closer to graduating, as their toughest year faced them. Classes, such as Chemistry and Algeb 2, along with American Literature and Advanced Biology, caused a load of stress for the juniors. Preparing for the future that lay ahead of them, seniors perfected their ACT scores and applied for the colleges of tht choice. Memories came a]jve and they spent the last months of high school preparing themselves for the experience 1 a whole new world. At the time, you didn't realize just how fast your hjgh sc.:hool years would fly by, but when your senior year rolled arow1 it seemed as if you were just a freshman yesterday.

Notice girls' skirts are the correct length or too long. 4. On the first day, look for kids with matching folders and note books. 5. Watch out for people hugging the side of the haII in the 500 wing. 6. Be careful for freshman running to all of their classes the first month. 7. Just listen to the rowdy voices in the 100 wing. 8. Look for kids trying to act cooler. 9. Notice girls who actuaIIy care about what they look like. 10. Look for the freshman in the comers of the lunch room shying away from the big kids.

It's a big step for them, going from no ties to ties, tennies to dress shoes, green plaid to blue plaid, and just the name "Freshman". Moving up to high school has it's advantages along with it's disadvantages, and while it may be a drastic change for some students, it doesn't even phase some. Many of the freshman agreed that their biggest fears were that classes were harder and their grades would stick with them from now on. Freshman Tad Beckman was-worried about "not being able to tie his tie." One plus for freshman Ryan Hemmingsen was that "girls blossom into woman." Another big difference is the involvement in school activities, such as sports, plays, choir, pep rallies, and dances. Freshman Matt Dinovo said, "The dances are better, so is football , and sports are a little different. " So, as you can see there are a lot of changes one must face when moving from junior high to high school , but as you walk down the hall ways it seems most of them have adjusted pretty well.

Movin' On Up The long awaited time of being able to have a study hall, an easier schedule, senior "only" parties and no longer being considered an underclassman, have finally come to an end. It seems just like yesterday that the juniors received their eighth grade diplomas. Reality heck: in only one very sort year, they will be seniors receiving their high school diplomas. The juniors still have their work cut out for them this year with preparing for the ACT's, prom, and trying to keep their grades up before letting them slip during their senior year. With the end of the year comes the last chance to rekindle the friendships that have always brought doubt or insecurity to mind. The final year is coming faster than most think, along with the anticipation that will make the class of 1994 exemplify what kind of students come from St. Albert, and how the challenges they attempt make them the kind of people today's world deserves and has been anxiously waiting for. The juniors have one last year to enjoy what memories they have as a class, and to remember that their special frineds at this time will soon become their occasional friends, that they may only see on visits overs holidays. New fri endships wil be made and old friendships may fade away, blH the memories will last forever.

In the tradition of seniors, they must've had a skip day, or maybe a few. All the teachers have come to expect it, and often know when it will take place, but not for the class of I 993. No tests were unexcused then. When the warm weather comes, senioritis hits the hardest. Even though a lot of sen iors have had seni oriLis from the beginning, senior sk ip day wasn ·t only meant to happen just out of being rebellious, but it's a time when memories are the strongest, and fri endships never seemed quite that good. What exactly is senior skip day? It's just one of those rebellious things they all do together. Although not all seniors dare to skip the day, they often seem to meet up later. Past senior skip days included going to a cabin on a Jake, or going to privat Jy owned land. These times usually occur when the weathe r tu rn. warmer. So. although it may have resulted in a few detentions if the teachers fou nd out before-hand, a lot of good just might have come out of it. And for all those classes who were sneaky and sly. sorr) teac . but they fooled you all!'

Mr. Jaworski was asked to switch from vice-principal to principal for the '92-'93 school year, in order fo r the Search Committee to find someone fo r the position. When asked how the year was progressing, Jaworski stated, "So far, it's been very challenging in a positi ve way. It's good to see how things are done from a different point of view. Sometimes it's fru strating, but all in all , its been a very good year." In August, students were introduced to new vice-principal, Dr. Bruce McCoy. Mr. Scichilone is in his second year as athletic director, scheduling athleti c events and making sure gyms are open when needed. Mrs. Andersen was promoted to junior high coordinator, to replace Mrs. Wandersee. But, along with the new jobs, there are those who are always here, like guidance counselor Dean Bragg and Monsignor Robert Chamberl ain. Ms. McGuire shows off her perfectly pumped biceps in the weightroom one afternoon. During the magazine pep rally, Mr. J aworski cleans up after a pie in the face from top seller Amy Patten. Mrs. Andersen and Mrs. Oatman were kind enough to help, but couldn't refrain from laughing. Dean Bragg Tony Jaworski Msgr. Chamberlain Mr. Rew decided to cut loose a little in class and celebrate good times! Marshall Scichilone Bruce McCoy 117 Seniors Bid Farewell When that three o'clock bell rings on the last day of school, there are several things that can be seen. The seniors and their traditional water balloon fight in the parking lot, students sprinting for their lockers in hopes of being the first one out of the building, and teachers with a look of relief on their faces are just a few. The weight that is lifted from your shoulders when you turn in that algebra book is comforting. As is the feeling of relief following all the built up stress from final exams and papers that are due. For most students, summer means spending time with their friends that they'll see next year. But, for the senior classes, it means spending time with the people who you've grown up with your entire life, making memories that will carry you through to your next big step. So, when that final bell rings, and you sprint out the doors, make sure you take a look behind you, and be prepared to come back again next year, and make the most of it.

Graduation "Learn as if you were to live forever, Live as if you were to die tomorrow." "Celebrate good times, c'mon!" That's exactly what the class of 1993 did. On May 27 at 7:30 P.M., the seniors of St. Albert High School entered the school for the last time as students. The graduation ceremony was filled with many special moments, from Michele Konz's valedictorian speech on a look into the future to Dan Neiland's poem be dedicated to bis class. From Stacy Mcintosh and Jenny Christensen singing "Friends Are Friends Forever" to Lenny Skaaning kissing bis long awaited diploma. The ceremony was also used to say a last good-bye to Msgr. Robert Chamberlain who had spent bis last year as superintendent of the St. Albert School system before moving onto parish work. Filled with wonder, excitement, sadness, regret, and love, the Class of 1993 left St. Albert on that warm Thursday night to a world never seen by them before.

N-"'-------' ate Becerra and Jason Remember when the first day of school came around and you just couldn't wait to show all of your friends your new lunch box? Those were the good old days when going to school was something to look forward to. Usually something exciting happens to make the new school year different but for the 91-92 school year there was nothing out of the ordinary that made the new school year seem different. The new dress code got everyone's a ttention and even some people's opinions. The dress code change was the biggest change for the 91- 92 school year. 'The most exciting thing about the n ew school year was being a senior and knowing that it is rhy last year in high school," stated senior J acque Hughes. All of the students are looking forward to being one year closer to being finished with high school. Entering a n ew year of high school is exciting especially for the freshman who are now able to participate in different school activities such as going to school dances, pep rallies, be involved in Homecoming week, and also student council. As freshman Warren Mohn commented, "Getting to go to more high school events and being known as a high school student rather than being a junior high student is the best thing about this year." The 91-92 school year started off great with a ll of the fall sports doing very well. The football team was undefeated and made it all the way to the class 2A semifinals. Both cross country teams qualified at state and were successful. The volleyball team also did well they made it all the way to the district finals. " The most exciting and new thing that happened was the success in all of our fall sports, it was a great way to start out the new school year," junior Emilia no Sanchez commented. by Lori Fox Gaspard show off their lunch boxes in the cafeteria during lunch time. Empty seats on a school bus await the return of students for the new school year. to Uniforms have been a rule at St. Albert since the op~ning of the school. But the 1991-92 school year has become more strict. Many students haven't been too happy with the crack down on the dress code. According to senior Krissy Lancia!, "Dress code was never that big of a problem before. Why should they start coming down on us now? It just seems so unfair that you should get in trouble for the littlest violation." At the beginning of the school year, many students were stopped in the hall when their skirts looked questionable. This consisted of a note card held up to the skirt which measured the length between the knee and the skirt. As senior Missy Schmida states, "I feel as though the underclassmen aren't carded as much as the seniors and juniors. We were made to be the examples for them and it didn't work." Being carded in the halls isn't the greatest feeling. "You feel kind of dumb because you think of all of the other people walking the halls with shorter skirts than yours and they're not being carded, you are," stated sophomore Katie Heithoff. Its not always the girls that are getting in trouble for the dress code. Often times it's the boys. "It doesn't bother me to wear a tie now that I am used to it, " saidsenior Nate Becerra. Not everyone thinks that the dress code is all bad. According to Mrs. Maryann Angeroth, "I think the skirt length was a good compromise, it shows that the administration has the willingness to be adaptable and change styles. I feel the changes are for th e better." =tL-4:.....Jr=== ear A dress code has its ups and downs, and everyone has their own opinion when it comes to discussing the issue. "I think that a dress code is better than not having one because it is easier to figure out what to wear, "stated senior Jason Gaspard. by Lori Fox Freshman Sharon Whetstone adds a new touch to the girls' uniform by wearing tights. Showing off their plaid skirts and neatly pressed oxfords during the lunch hour are junior Richelle Wilson and sophomores Stormie Thompson and Jennifer Mathiasen. : Junior Stacy Mcintosh watches as Ms. McGuire does a "skirt check" for length. Skirts were required to be three inches above the knee or the result would be a demerlt. J Wearing the proper attire are seniors Rob Ruiz and Nick Conzemius and junior Jenny Hotz as they work on a homewor k assignment. "Dress code was never a problem before, why should they start coming down on us now?" -Krissy Lancial to Special This year's Homecoming spirit week was viewed as particualy successful by the students. The week consisted of 50-60s Biker day, Old Testament day, Cowboy /Indian day, and Dress Up day. "It was our last chance to get together as a class to promote school spirit. If you are going to do something, you should do it all out," senior Andrea Versaci stated. "The decorations were nice" said freshman Sara Kruse, "It gets you excited during the week so you can let it all out at the game. " Spirit-lifters included balloons in the hallways, the fight song played between cla sses, and the lyrics draped on the walls of the cafeteria. Sophomore Danny Stock agreed, saying, "Homecoming is a way to get rid of a lot of energy and be myself with my friends." Though the majority of the students dressed up for the week , there were still a few students that didn't go all out. Some wore outfits not even associa ted with the day or time period being celebrated . Lack of full participation forced th e administration to make stricter guidelines regarding the dress u p attire. These rules didn 't affect many stu - dents, but fo r some pu t a damper on the days' attire . "If Homecoming is s uppose to be fu n we should be able to go a ll out," sa id Kruse. Stock said "Since Homecoming week is like a prep week, We want the whole school to get pumped. There should only be limitations on those who choose not to participate." Even with the limitations put on the dress up days, the =:iL-6.....Jr=====- students and faculty felt there was a better tum out than in previous years. Not only did the school week go well, but the dance had a great tum out too. With Jacque Hughes as queen and Jeremy Kroll as king, Homecoming was a great success. by J enny Hotz Friends senior Andrea Versaci and junior Carolyn Gorman show off their Homecoming spirit dressed in their togas on Old Testament Day. Sophomore bosom buddies Danny Stock, Andy Murray, Matt Clayton and Shawn Jones show off thier girlish figures on Hom ecoming's Opposite Day.

"Homecoming is a way to get rid of a lot of energy and be myself with my friends." -Danny Stock l·I Hard to Handle11 As the week of Homecoming came to a close, the week 's suspense of who would be kiilg and queen ended at Thursday night's pep rally. The annual Homecoming pep rally began Thursday night as ea ch grade competed against one another in various games. The senior class lived up to th eir expectations as they came out the clear victors of the evening. After a brief in troduction of the football players and performances from both the cheerleading and pompon squads, it was time for th e coronation. Homecoming court included seniors Andy Vanfossan, Missy Schmida, Tony Daley, Angie Christensen, Jacqu e Hugh es, Jeremy Kroll, Molly Malone, Kevin Mortensen , Jeanine Masker, Pete Thompson, Nikki Ravlin and Andy Turner. Former Homecoming royalty Mike Masker and Kari Hanafan had th e pleasure of crowning Kroll and Hughes as the 1991 Homecoming king and queen . The excitement contintu ed on Friday night where the attention was turned to the Falcon footba ll team as they took on Boystown in th e big Homecoming match up. Th e Falcons came ou t the victors, conquering the Cowboys in a thrilling 13 to 12 win. Saturday night was the Homecoming dance. The studen ts entered the gym decorated in accordance with the theme, "Hard to Handle". =1 8 According to studen t council president Missy Schmida, "We tried to make the dance more interesting by playing a wide variety of music.

"We tried to make the dance more interesting by playing a wide variety of music." -Missy Schmida -="'1...-9--lf== Can you use these words in a sentence .... NOT, WHATEVER, COOL BEANS, DIS or SWEET? There are those who still use the California surfer "dude" lauguage and the Valley girl talk that is "like totally awesome". Junior Phil Hasenkamp has the cornerstone on "sausage" and "waxin' the trax". Junior Corey Stock and his brother Danny, a sophomore, say "white bread" . "Groovy" is still "hip"- Not! This is the year when everything is "cool beans" to juniors Jenny Hotz and Wendy Larson. To junior Jenni Tobias, seriously or sarcastically, everything is"great" , "wonderful'', and "super". Senior Art Mendoza says "what's up", while others use senior Andrea Versaci's "yo" Glossary Dis - makin' somebody "like" mad. Not- I don't think so Sweet - the ideal White Bread - Nobody knows what it means - it's just one of those things - instead of hello. Senior Justin Morris fl,oes even further with "hey babe". Everyone says "whatever" and "sure". (What ever happened to 'just say no?" ) There's always the old reliables "terrific", "awesome" , and "cool". This is the time when "true blonde" and "butthead" are the ultimate insults and everything is either "sweet" or it's "dissed". When joking it's "p~yche" or sophomore Jamie Goebel's "kidding". Having a rough week? Are you suffering from, as Mendoza would say, homework "burnout"? Junior Chad Arnold would probably say "yeah, but.. " Do you just play it cool like junior Jenny Schmitz and say, "I know some stuff'. There is always senior Jenny McGinn, who uses "cheesy" to describe anything that she finds just a little too cute or happy. But don't worry - you can always calm yourself with junior J enny Christensen's reassuring and wise comment "don't fret", meaning you have a friend's h elp or someone is there for you. Of course there is always Stacy Mcintosh's "oh schmut" used to revise all those naughty words in the world. How a bout on those rough weekends wh en senior Robert Ruiz says, "I luuv you " or junior Patti Stephens requests "love me. " All in a ll , if you say "groovy" more than once a week and "cool" isn't part of your everyday vocabulary, you'd better call someone fast. by Becky Mich e ls Freshmen Meegan Engler, Joe Stuhr, Sara Kruse, Mike Reineke, Mandy Pearon, Alicia Sanchez, Nichole Heck, Ann Hansman, Kori Nielsen and Drew Evers pose - "What hams!" Junior Patti Stephens and senior Jenny McGinn are "cool." Sophomore Dl(lmy Stock begs, "No wait, wait!" Seniors Gary Woody, Josh Bracker, Shawn Shea and Jason Wanning s ay "cheese." Michele Konz and Carolyn. Gorman definitely are not "loners." Juniors Scott Smith and Jenny Hotz sign "Peace." 11 t== Affections to Share Frtends or something more? Here at St Albert we have a way of being known as "close knit", but where does the public display of affection stop; a hug, a wink, an occasional joke, a kiss on the cheek, or a pat on the hynie. Has society really changed that much compared to the past, or has affection always been there, and just now able to come out in public? There are many different opinions on this view. Mrs. Kathy Beckman, health and physical education teacher, states, "I think society actu a lly h as changed . When I was in high school and college, 'flower power' and 'free love' was in and there was a lot more affection displayed then than now." However, Mr. John Shorey, history teacher, has a different outlook on the situation. "I don't think society has changed that much. There was a lot more public dis play of affection when I was in school than now," but continues, "if there is less PDA in school it is better." Fifty high school students were polled at random and 62% though t PDA was more expressive in the past two years. Another 31 % say th ere is more in the present time, while 7% were undecided. When asked if the students thought there was more PDA in our small school than in a larger school, the majority said they felt that no, there was h ardly any. Th e reasons for them saying "no" were many different though ts. From, "the teachers will yell at you" to "I think it is just sick." In a small school, when do you know what PDA means? The whole situation in the eyes of someone 12f II--===- younger is different. "I feel as though hugging or showing some kind of affection towards someone we care about is acceptable and is nothing more than what you see." stated senior Nikki Ravlin. It is just an example of how times change in every generation and that every person s view on the situation is just a tad bit different. by Terrt Petratis Showing a little embarrassment is sophomore Erin Fuchser as she receives a hug from her sweetheart sophomore Tony Mauer. Senior Josh Bracker and junior Wendy Larson, who are just buddies, display their friendship during lunch. PDA between friends of the opposite sex is often mistaken for more than friendly affection. PDA (public display of affection) can include things such as hand holding, hugging, kissing and touching. Most students at S.A. felt PDA was not a problem at school now, but was a concern in the past. Friends, sophomore Shawn Avise and junior Richelle Wilson, take tim e out for a quick hug bewteen classes. PDA is not a common sight in the halls of St. Albert. "I don't think society has changed ... if there is less PDA in school it is better." -John Shorey 13 t= Something to Do St. Albert students spend a lot of time dedicating themselves to schoolwork and extra -ciricular activities. However, the ringing of the 3 o'clock bell and the end of practice marks the start of the heavily anticipated nightlife. After-school "festivities" vary among St. Albert students. The agenda is usually dependent on age, or whether or not the student has a car. When asked what her activities consisted of, junior Myndi Straka said, "We usually just drive up and down Broadway, wandering around, sometimes I hit Burger King for something to eat. " Straka feels her activities are quite a bit different from those of others because, "some people wouldn't be caught dead driving around." Underclassmen aren't as free to choose what they do on weekends, simply because they don't usually have their driver's license. However, they're still perfectly capable of turning their afterschool hours into times of fun. Freshman Ann Hansman said, "I go out with friends, usually to Michala Haynie's. Then we just trash the place, and eat all of her food." When asked if sh e though t what she did at night was a big contrast from other people, she said , "Yes, becau se Michala makes it fun. " People often generalize teens and assume they all do the same thing after school and on weekends. Unfortunately, these assumptions are often for th e worst. For example, some think that rowdiness and alcohol are always a part of their activities. ::=3L,_1_4 ..,J-==-=== Senior Art Mendoza proves this thought to be very untrue. "I usually study or lift weights. I find anything that will keep me out of trouble." Whether it be finding a party or as sophomore Josh Gubbels says, "Doing what my friends want to do - usually going to a movie," SA students keep busy at night. by Patti Steph en s Juniors Jerome Patten and Dan Nieland spend their night just hanging out with friends. Sophomores Ryan Shea, Jill Konz, Valerie Graeve and Brad Krohn prepare to paint the town red in celebration of their newly granted licenses to drive. Many sophomores were seen out and about as the second semester came to a close. Senior Robert Ruiz displays his trademark tongue as classmate Chad Standard relieves much of the stress built up from final's week. Junior Emiliano Sanchez, senior Sarah Hobbins, junior Chad Arnold , s enior Lori Fox and junior John Hromodka gather at the McGinn h ouse to celebrate t he end of final's week. 11 I usually study or lift weights. I find anything that wi 11 keep me out of trouble. " -Art Mendoza 15 F= Rententber 1991 was a year many of us will Qever forget. As with any year, there were political issues debated, el~ctions lost and won, wars, entertainment, and scandals. Diseases were fought and battlefields were created, both of which touched close to home. Movies and music reached a new high, and fashion is found going in a circle, with nostalgic looks back in style. Perhaps the biggest, if not the most dynamic, occurance of autumn of 1991 was the fall of Communism in the Soviet Union. After five years of reform, Soviets were able to celebrate their freedom after the arrest of their leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, in the summer. Sexual harrassment became a n even bigger issue as college professor Anita Hill charged Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of harrassment in the workplace eight years after the occurence. What Thomas referred to as a "high-tech lynching" prompted many women to s peak out against sexual h arrassment. This was the year for a presidential campaign to b egin. Candidates varied , including former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, who lost in the race for governor of Louisiana yet proceeded to run for pres i~ ent. Frightening as it may seem, his policy that underpriveleged whites in the South are the real victims of predjudice cau sed him to earn s upport from more than a few (top left) Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced his retirement from basketball in early November.

As a nation, we recovered from the War in the Gulf as soldiers returned home or. unfortunate ly. were buried. Hussein remains in power, however the fighting is over. AlDS continues as a horrible threat to society as more and more cases are reported yearly . One of the NBA's greatest players, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, announced in early November that h e t ested HIV positive. This n ews was a huge blow to many, and a rude awakening that anyone can get AIDS. On a lighter note, this year had much to offer from the entertainment world. Perhaps the most popular TV show among students was the Fox Network's "Beverly Hills 90210". Each Thursday night, St. Albert students tuned in to the popular teen drama. Some of the most popular movies of the school year included Jonathan Demme's "Sil n ee of the Lambs "', Arnold Swartzenager in "Termina tor 2 ", and Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans in "The Last Boy Scout" (despite bad reviews, many high school students enjoyed this movie). Music of the year included longawaited releases from Guns-n -Roses, Metallica , a nd a box set from Ae rosmith. Paula Abdul's "Spellbound'" was popula r, as well as groups from the past s u ch as the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. These nine months spent in school are only a frac tion of the lives of students at St. Albert. This year students experienced bits and pieces of the past, through entertainment as well as th rough foriegn and domestic government issu es. Maybe history really does re peat itself. by J enny McGinn p On August 19, 1991, the coup in the Soviet Union began with the overthrow of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.

Students who wish to excercise their brains may be involved in the Academic Decathalon or the Brain Bowl. Christianity can shine through those who participate in the liturgy committee or are Eucharistic ministers. For those dramatic talents out there, there are plays and speech contests to enter. National Honor S ociety members must be active in volunteering their time. Many choose to be involved in one or many of these activities, and may even include a sport or two along the way. These activities deserve recognition for their hard work, just as sports do. Come to think of it, there are a lot of similarities. A good asset to have, both on the stage and on the court, is teamwork. Everything would eventually fall apart if not for that. by Janna Hicks 19 F= There are many different reasons as to why SOil].eone might volunteer to be a Eucharistic Minister or be on the Liturgy Committee. This year, there are 14 Eucharistic Ministers, compared to 10 last year. But what makes a person want to partake in this activity? For some, it's a chance to be involved in the church. others became Ministers just to say they did it. But according to senior Kevin Mortensen, "Last year there were a lot of respected people. Also it's a chance to show leadership. " The job of a Eucharistic Minister is to distribute communion during school masses. In order to prepare for their task, the 14 seniors attended a class taught by Fr. Bud where they learned what exactly the Eucharist was and, "how to offer it reverently," said Fr. Bud. Preparing for mass is the job of the Liturgy Committee. Membership on the committee has more than doubled since last year. Selecting music and the theme of the liturgy, along with ushering, reading and singing are all jobs the Liturgy Committee takes care of. Decorating, which includes designing banners and programs is an additional task of the commitee. Each job must be taken seriously if the group wants to achieve the goal of a successful mass, and every job is equally important. "We work well as a group," said junior Jenni Tobias. With all these responsibilities, one might wonder why so many people are interested in the Liturgy Committee. Some are involved just to have something to do , while others joined for fun. "I wanted to be more involved in school and God is the basis for our school, " said 20 senior Angie Christensen. Ms. Machmuller, who helps with the planning, added. "More people wanted to make the Liturgy more meaningful for the rest of the student body." "I wanted to do something for the school and since we are a Catholic school, I thought the Liturgy Committee would be a good place·to start," said Tobias. by Amber Ausdemore Senior Rich Swank administers Communion during the Homecoming Mass to sophomore Michelle Kroll.

Juniors Sara Kinart and Amber Ausdemore shed blood, sweat, and tears while preparing for the All Saints Day Mass. Due to the November 1 snow day the mass was cancelled . Ms. Deb McGuire, Fr. Bud, and Ms. Machmuller take time out from planning masses to pose for the camera. Because of their dedication and hard work, masses were a success. "Last year there were a lot of respected people, also it's a chance to show leadership." -Kevin Mortensen 21 t= Attend Some of the most important things that corrie with attending a Catholic School aren't always recognized. "Here we get the chances to do a lot of different things, and we sometimes take advantage of them," said junior Wendy Larson. Everyone at St. Albert knows there is a mass each morning, but when was the last time that you took time out of your morning to stop in, just to be different, or try something new for a change? Why do you think you would need to be forced into going, by a coach on game day? Maybe this has never crossed your mind, or maybe you 're just too ashamed to show up. But wouldn't you think that by going to a Catholic school, students would acknowledge this privilege, and show up for mass just once in a while? When it comes to those big masses that need planning, Fr. Bud isn't always a lone. He has volunteer students on liturgy committee that are always around to help him plan out a mass. They help him decide what songs to sing, decorations and banner designs. With their input about past events in school and outside of school, Fr. Bud will base his homily. "When it comes to a Catholic schools masses, it's nice to know th at you can be of help. It makes going to the mass a lot more interesting," said junior J enny Christensen. Even though the morning masses don't see a lot of students, =:JL_2_2..r.= - it does't seem to bother Fr. Bud too much. "It's really just a nice way to start your day. " said Bud. Maybe that's the problem with us, we don't know the real way to start our day. " by Jenny Schmitz Fr. Bud explains the reasons for reconciliation at the junior/senior prayer senrice in December. Senior Robert Ruiz shares communion with Coach Marshall Scichilone at the St. Albert Feast Day Mass on November 25. SA students from the elementtirY and intermediate buildings joined the entire high school studeJlt body for the ceremony. Liturgy Committee members seniors Anne Holder, Missy Schmida and Rich Swank lend a helping hand during the Homecoming Mass. Grades 9 - 12 attended that September Mass. Bishop Bullock, Father Fred Cornwell and Father Bud Grant lead the SA student body in the Feast Day Mass. A total of seven clergy joined Father Bud in celebrating Mass. "It's a • nice way to start your day." -Father Bud 23 l=== CrcatiVity to Explore Art is something special to many kids at St. Albert. The way the art department works is very simple. One can join or take the class any year of high school - there are even seniors that take art for only one year, or maybe even a semester. For the first open house of the year, the art students from all levels display their art in the hall ways. Students in Art 1, concentrate on the basics su ch as color wh eels, valu e ch arts and developing creativity. Art 2 students work on sketching and the values of blending and drawing more still life objects. Art 3 involves Batik, a dying technique, printing and being creative with a ceiling tile from the a rt room. Art 4 is more on the lines of the individual creativity students have developed in th e previou s three years. The art department is also noted for designing program covers for concerts. masses, and many of the bulletin boards and signs hanging in the halls. In the past few years, students have had the opportunity to enter the Scholastic Art Award competition. This competition has awarded $200,000 in cash, scholarships and prizes for those who have entered in the past. Students at SA have been recognized in the Scholastic Art competition in the past. One student was awarded the high est honor, a gold key, as well as displaying h er work. Senior Krissy Lancial, who is enrolled in Art 1. said " It (art class) class) also made me realize that art is not just drawing, it is learning about colors and a lot of hard work. " Shawn Shea, a senior in art four said, "Art hasn't just been a class that teaches me to draw or be creative. It was an uplifting experence for my whole high school life". That credit goes to Ms. McGuire." by Terri Petratis Ms. McGuire looks over the work of sophomores Pat Conzemius and Gwen Gruber during art. Junior Brian Cihacek gets the exact measurement, while sophomore Gina Gentile compares her colors for the color wheel. Doing a color wheel is a large task to take on, a basic skill for any level art class. Decisions, decisions, decisions.... Ms. McGuire helps senior Robert Ruiz choose the correct shades and tints for his color wheel. Sophomores Arny Davis and Gin a Gentile work on their a rt projects. Art c lass was a chan ce t o show creativity and imagination. " ... art class is not just drawing-it's learning about colors and a lot of hard work." -Krissy Lancial '---... ,-~·- 25 t== Rough draft to Masterpiece What about this yearbook!? Who put it together?· Who wrote all the stories and took all the pictures? Credit goes to the Journalism 1 and 2 students who worked hard throughout the year getting everything together to meet those dreaded deadlines. Journalism is divided into two sections, Journalism 1, first year students, and Journalism 2 , second year students. Journalism 1 consists of learning the basics. As junior Amber Ausdemore said, "at first we take a lot of notes, which help us perfect our writing techniques," while Journalism 2 already knows this. Senior Jenny McGinn said, "There's more of a work load, and we're expected to know what to do. " Some people may think Journalism is a pretty easy going class because as senior Lori Fox said, "in this class you're kind of on your own. You do your own thing, and make sure you meet the deadlines. " There is a lot of independence, but also a lot of responsibility to meet deadlines. When asked why people joined the class, the responses were pretty much the same. Ausdemore said , "I've a lways liked the yearbooks and I wanted to be a part of them," while McGinn said, "I enjoy writing and photography. I plan to go into journalism as a profession." When the term marketing comes up in Journalism, it most likely involves selling ads. Students go around to different businesses and try to persuade them to buy a space in the yearbook or newspaper to advertise th eir business. =:3L_2_e_,..~~ Layouts put everything together - getting the stories to fit in the space provided and figuring out what size the pictures must be. Journalism is a challenging and rewarding experience. As Fox said, "You are creating this book that you're apart of. You made it, it's your work, and that's a neat feeling." by Jenny Christensen Junior Phil Hasenkamp gets all dressed up to go sell yearbooks while juniors Jenny Christensen and Molly Morrison stand by. The journalism staff consists of front row: Kyle Evans and Phil Hasenkamp. Second row: Myndi Straka, Amber Ausdemore, Jenny Schmitz and Jenny Christensen. Third row: Angel Bernemann, Stacy Mcintosh, Wendy Larson, Sarah Hobbins and Molly Morrison. Back row: Becky Michels, Jenni Tobias, Patti Stephens, Jenny Hotz, Nikki Ravlin, Terri Petratis, Jenny McGinn, Lori Fox, Janna Hicks and Brenda Walter. Seniors Jenny McGinn and Janna Hicks work on journalism stories and prove the new computers to be not only very useful but also userfriendly. This year the entire yearbook was done on the computers. Miss Hoff devotes her time to helping Journalism 1 students with their layouts. "In this class you're kind of on your own. You do your own thing, and make sure you meet the deadlines." -Lori Fox 27 F== Something to Sing About Because of th~ir small size, the St. Albert band and choir are often overlooked. But that is beginning to change. The band is headed by Mr. Leeka, a new teacher, while the choir is lead by Mrs. Stephany, another new teacher to S.A. The choir sings at all the Masses and at the Christmas and Spring concerts. Beside their class duties, both instuctors helped with the production of "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" in the fall. The concert band consists of 20 players from the Jr. High. There is no high school band as of yet, but the future seems promising as the younger players come into high school. The band also played an important part at the spring talent show. Mr. Leeka a lso teaches band for grades four through six, and he says, "There are many talented students on the way up. " As for the choir, some of their goals are to develop fine singing voices the whole school and the general public can be proud of. Mrs. Stephany stated , "One our goals is to make the St. Albert Concert Choir something the stu - dents want to be pa rt of." The music ranges from pop to Christian rock and from easy list en - ing to inspirationa ls. The choir meets during fifth period on Tuesdays, Thursdays, a nd Fridays. On Mondays, th e girls meet alone while the boys h ave a study hall, and the boys meet a lone on Wednesdays while the girls h ave a study hall. The Pop Ch oir meets during 08 on Tuesdays. Th e choir even got to participate in the All-City Music Festival held at Abraham Lincoln High School. The Concert Choir consists of nine people, Pop Choir eight people and seventh and eighth choir has 11 people. There is beginning to be a brighter outlook for the music programs at S.A. by J enni Tobias Mrs. Stephany, in her first year at St. Albert, plays the piano in rehearsal for the next performance. Sophomore Gwen Gruber learns that practic e makes perfect ·as she rehearses for her next performance . Sophomores Crista Cihacek, Maria Kay, Angie Spitznagle, Amy Spitznagle, freshman Becci Wilson and junior Richelle Wilson practice hitting their high notes in choir practice. Students practiced during 08 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The choir listens patiently while Mrs. Stephany gives instructions on the notes they should be hitting throughout the song. The choir made its first debut during the Homecoming Mass in September. "One of our goals is to make the choir something the students want to be a part of." -Mrs.Stephany to Expand Students at Saint Albert are given the opportunity to be a member of an intellectual organization called the Academic Decathlon. The organization creates a positive school image, changes the students attitudes and creates academic role models. The team consists of nine fulltime students from the eleventh and or twelfth grades of the same high school. Each team is made up of three Honor roll students, three Scholastic students and three Varsity students as indicated by grade point average, Honor 3. 75- 4.00 GPA; Scholastic 3.00-3. 74 GPA; Varsity 0.00-2.99 GPA; according to the Academic Decathlon study guide. Contestants may compete in a higher division than their own GPA category but not in a lower division. Matt Barton stated, "I became a member for the comrodery, for the knowledge. And it looks good on different applications." Members meet once a week in 08 and discuss certain topics such as science, language and literature, Fine Arts and economics, speech es, essays and interviews. Each team member competes in all 10 events of the Decathlon and is eligible for individual medals in all 10 events. Only six scores count for the final team standing in the competitionthe top two Honor scores, the top two Scholastic scores, and the top two Varsity scores. Senior Janna Hicks commented "It takes a lot of committment and you must enjoy tackling difficult subject matters." Academic Decathlon it's not a club just for the honor roll students, but anyone who is interested can become a member. Team members are seniors Janna Hicks, Matt Barton, Kyle Wandersee, Rich Swank, Justin Morris, Tony Daley, Rob Ruiz and juniors are Erin Walsh, Angel Bernemann, Cari Biede, Emily Howlett. Becky Michels, and Megan Birkhofer. by Nikki Ravlin Mrs. Helen Wise and senior Rich Swank show how much fun Academic Decathalon is.

Senior Rich Swank gives two thumbs up to the Academic Decathlon as teammates seniors Kyle Wandersee and Janna Hicks and junior Angel Bernamann concentrate. Juniors Angel Bernamann, Cari Biede and Erin Walsh h a\re second thoughts about what they've gotten themselves into at an Academic Decathlon meeting. "It takes a lot of commitment and you must enjoy tackling difficult subject matters." -Janna Hicks 31 to Display Have you ever wondered what Student Council does? After all, they are the voice of the student body. They are often overlooked by all of us, and even by the administration at times. How much power does the council actually have? Junior class psresident Chad Arnold said, "We really don't have that much power to change things. The administration usually just hears what we have to say, but isn't generally influenced by our opinions." One of the things the Council does is picking up the pop cans. Each quarter, a different class is chosen to cash in the cans, and with the money, they will all buy something for the school that everyone can enjoy. Every year, the junior class works with parents on the prom committee. Together, they choose the theme, location, and post-prom activities for the juniors and seniors. Senior Missy Schmida, student council president, has been on the Council for all four years. She said, "It's a lot of work, especially around Homecoming, because we sponsor the dance. We also decorate the school for Christmas. Before school even starts, we welcome the new students to our school." Student Council sponsor, Mrs. Maryann Angeroth said, "They all work very well with each other, as well as working very hard at what they do." Senior Jenny McGinn sums up the student council like this, "A lot of times we get off track at our meetings, but we mean well, and we do get a lot of things accomplished." So next time you need someone to help you speak out on an issue, think of going to the Student Council for help. After all, they are there to help our student body get what they need. by Jenni Tobias Junior Michele Konz and freshman Ann Narmi decorate the school for Christmas.

"They all work very well with each other as well as working very hard at what they do." -Mrs. Angeroth 3 3 l== SCl1ool to Stage This year, as in years past, St. - Albert drama and speech have become more pop~lar and more successful. These qualities are present due to the hard-working individuals that are members of the International Thespian Society. Members of the society include President Andrea Versaci, senior, Vice-president Stacy Mcintosh, junior, Secretary Tina O'Brien, senior, and Treasurer Erin Walsh, junior. Other members of the society are sophomores Danny Stock and Kelly Walsh, juniors Dan Nieland and Becky Michels, and senior S1.lzanne Sillik. Mr. Fred Wilson, literature and speech teacher, is the group's sponsor. Members of the Thespian Society perform a number of tasks both in and out of school. "They help put on school productions, but also participate in other theatrical events in and around the community," said Wilson. "We help backstage with plays, too," sa id Versaci. When asked what actually got her interested in speech and drama, Versaci said , "My a unt was an a ctress, and she did a lot of theatrica l work, and she got me involved." Of course it's not family tr adition that makes the Thespians able to perform as they do . It takes a lot of hard work, and as Mr. Wilson says, "a flair or energy. They need the ability to deal with people, and meet them head-on." In order to become part of the International Thespian Society, actors and actresses, as well as speech contestants, mu st accumulate a certain amount of poin ts. These points are earned each time they perform. Mr. Wilson considers becoming a part of the Society a great honor. "It's a membership they can 34 take to college or to any other theatrical endeavor. It speaks well for a person and is something to be quite proud of. " St. Albert's group of Thespians can do nothing more than to be proud. Their hard work and dedication shows, and will be a memorable part of the school for time to come. by Patti Stephens Junior Carolyn Gorman rehearses the one-act play "Alky", which received three l's at State competition.

Mr. Wilson explains the importance of theatre arts at St. Albert. More and more people are beginning to see what a wonderful opportunity it is to participate in theatre arts. Students pay close attention during a meeting while Mr. Wilson explains the details about speech contest. Some of the different events students could enter were Reader's Theater, Choral Reading, mime, One-Acts and others. "It (the group) speaks well for a person and is something to be quite proud of," -Mr. Wilson 35 F== I lead to Toe National Honor Society- some believe it's a club for the smart, but it's more than that to others. NHS is made up of students who prove themselves to be well-rounded people not only in school but in the community as well. Members of NHS must excel in the areas of character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Members are expected to have a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, volunteer hours, while also being active in the school and community. In the role of leadership, the student doesn't have to be in an elected position, but must show signs of leadership in what they do. NHS provides a lot of things to its members and others as well. Not only does it look good for college, but members dedicate a lot of time and services to the public and St. Albert whether it be helping at handicapped or drug DARE camps, teaching dance lessons, such as senior Angie Christensen, or doing parish work. The honor of being in the NHS is one that is saved until students meeting the requirements are at least sophomores. Reasons vary for why people want to be in NHS. Some feel NHS is a good thing to have on a college application. Others, including sponsor Mrs. Swartz, believe it is a good way to recognize and award students for their time and work given to St. Albert and the communtiy. Mrs. Swartz said it is a difficult balance and those who do and do it well deserve it. No matter what reason students want to join, one prominent factor seems to be agreeable with the most of the 25 current members. All of them did what was required of them ==t 36 not because they want to be in this group, but because it was natural. As Senior Kevin Mortensen explained he didn't do what was asked of him because he wanted to be in NHS he said "I just tried to be myself.

One week before the fall musical, "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" was scheduled to premiere, the school board reviewed the script and found it objectionable. This action was due to parents confronting the school board at a meeting about the subject matter of the play. The script supposedly was to be a satire of Catholic schools in the 50's and 60's but some had a different point of view, finding it to be a mockery of the Catholic education and faith. Though the cast was stopped dead in their tracks by the news, they never once lost their "shine". Not wanting to let six weeks of memorizing lines and perfecting their vocals go to waste, an agreement was made to delete a few minor parts that were found offensive and the musical was once again on. A performance was shown to the high school students in the afternoon and by invita tion only that same night. J u nior Stacy Mcintosh and sophomore Danny Stock filled the positions of the major leads, while others su ch as seventh graders Nikki Zaccone, Becky Netter, and Colin O'Toole, eighth grad - ers Gina Roane, McClain Smouse, and Tony Fisher, freshman Na te O'Toole, sophomore Kelly Wa ls h , juniors Becky Michels and Erin Wals h and senior Andrea Versaci contributed an important part in the making of the musical. The humorous and realistic portrayal of Catholic schools th a t once used to be was seen as a "delightful comment on the elementary and secon - dary education of the Catholic school experience," said drama teacher, Mr. ~L..:3:.8..J-===-= Fred Wilson. Putting the controversy and conflict aside, the musical , in general, "showed us that things will never be the same as they were in school and there's some people we never want to forget," Versaci said. by Angel Bememann Sharing a moment together, sophomore Danny Stock tells junior Stacy Mcintosh what he hopes will become of their relationship.

It's a really good story to which kids can relate. The sprtng play "Ordinary People" is a very down to earth production. Mr. Wilson, the director, said, "My main reason for doing this play is because I've seen it done before, and it was done so well, it's very powerful." All we will see is the finished product, but there's so much more that's put into it. First the director must choose a play, then it's time for auditions and casting the rtght people to the rtght parts. Memorizing lines comes next, and it seems like a big job. Junior Emiliano Sanchez said, "Memorizing the lines isn't too bad, delivertng them is the hard part." Backrounds and props are done by the whole cast, and during the production Tina O'Brten works on the lights. This play is full of new members that have not had expertence in drama before, but Wilson said, "They're doing very well, and they're growing, it's great fun." Student director, Becky Michels, said, ''They're good, the people he chose all have a lot of talent." "Ordinary People" is about a teenage boy, Conrad Jarrett, who just lost his older brother in a terrible accident. Conrad's family seems to be falling apart and he feels he can't do anything about it. They are all "ordinary people" whose lives are filled with much trauma. So, why did so many new people try out for this play? Chad Arnold said, "I always had an interest and thought it would be fun-- something new. " Not only that, but Arnold also said , "The story deals 40 to Learn with issues going on today, real life problems. The pressures - are the same as today." This has a lot to do with the popularity of this particular play . "Ordinary People" was a production consisting of a wide vartety of cast and crew members. Because of this, the play was a great success. by Jenny Chrtstensen Joe (Mike Patee) struggles to gain back his friendship with Conrad (Danny Stock).

But years from now, each person who bought a copy of this yearbook will look back and see the people they grew up with, and, even though now it may seem trivial to most of us, these are the pe o ple with whom we followed patterns. Normally on this page, which in t roduces the individual photos, the writer states tho s e things which distinguish one cl ass from the other. For e xample, it is usually menti o n ed that the biggest e vent of the so phomore year is the granting of licenses. This fact, although true, is not the only pattern seen in those nine months of our lives we call the tenth grade. A lot of changes take pla ce during this tim e, cha nges that affect fri end - sh ips, grades, inte r e sts and activities. The p a tt erns we follow and the experien ces we s hare a re all a part of life at S t . Albert. This is what makes our patterns different from those of other schools. H i gh s chool is o nly a fraction of our lives, but from the first sample of Ho 1necoming festivities to graduation ni g h t, this fraction plays a big part in what kind of individual we become. Often, peop le say high s chool goes very fast, however these are u sually the p eople who have long since gra d u a ted and have a lrea dy made it th r ough a dditional yea rs of sch ool or wo rk. Keep in mind, though, that t h e s e are the people who have a lrea dy been thr ough it all, and look back on their yearbook to see the patterns they once followed.

Freshman are offered a number of classes to choose from. As a freshman , the required classes are English , world h istory, h ealth , Typing 1, physical scien ce, s peech, faith and Old Testament. The studen ts may choose a math course of th eir choice. Eight electives are offe red and the students are to choose two credits. Electives are as follows: Art 1, Spanish 1, h ome economics, concert band, concert chior and semina r . Some classes may need teacher a pproval. Freshman Tommy Hugh es said , "I feel as thou gh th e class selection is just fine for me!" From another point of view, Dan Busch feels as th ou gh , "Th ere are not many classes to choose from ." Whatever the case, we have all experienced th e pain and agony of signing u p for classes. One of the biggest events freshman look forward to is th a t first "real" dance. Remember wh at t h ose good ol' junior high dances where boys stood on one side and girls on th e oth er. It was s u ch a crazy idea to get up en ough nerve to ask someone special to dance.

But what better way to start vacation, with the Christmas Dance. Even though the night was clear and no snow was falling, it was a Christmas Dance full of excitment and Christmas spirit. This year the dance was voted informal, opposed to years before. "It was more of a relaxed atmosphere because we weren't informal," stated sophomore Arny Davis. Others agreed with Arny. "It's such a hassle to find a formal dress and since Prom is formal, it gives you something to look forward to, " senior Nikki Ravlin commented. According to senior Chad Graeve, "Th e music was much better and it was easier to get down. But I feel that they should provide us with beverages." Dancing and working up a sweat does make you thirsty so maybe in the future they will serve beverages. The dance was different from years past but those changes were for the better and everyone seemed to enjoy it. by Lori Fox Seniors Nikki Ravlin, Molly Malone, and Lori Fox take time out to pose for a picture at the Christmas Dance.

"College credit courses are harder because they have more demanding requirements," Poole added. But what happens when you don't have much time at all to do your homework? Some try to get all the hard classes in before graduation, like with chemistry, advanced biology, algerbra 2 , to name a few. Others, find different classes like psychology, government, and geometry. Classes aren't the only things on juniors' minds this year. They have tests to think about. like the ACT, SAT, and the PSAT. The ACT is one of the most important and hardest tests to take during the junior year. Some take it as a challenge, but others are thinking about the future. Now you know it pays to work hard your freshman and sophomore years, so all you have to do is work your way up the ladder to graduation. by Brenda Walter Left: Just a few books and brochures available in Mr. Bragg's office to help prepare a student for college.

In planning for their senior year, juniors also need to start deciding such things as what field of work they're interested in, and future plans. Junior Anne Lainson said , " A year of college, or just work after high school," is what she sees in her future. Others are going to go to college for a career or are thinking of taking other steps which might be needed to reach their future goals. Junior Brian Fischer said that he was thinking about how neA't year he would have to apply to colleges, and get all the classes he needed in hopes of being accepted.

These times the senior class has shared will remain in their memories forever, despite the fact that there are so many things to look back on ... As far back as kidnergarten, senior Molly Malone recalls "trading shoes during naptime and putting them on the wrong feet." Grade school flew by, and new students came and old friends went. Middle school brought square dancing in P.E. class, sex education classes, and those big newspapers and crucial student council meetings. ''The battle of the sexes is what I'll always remember about sixth grade," commented senior Rich Swank. This was the year of boys against girls in everything from base soccer to who got called on first in class. This final year before junior high was taken seriously by more than a few members of the class of '92. Senior Missy Schmida reflected, ''I'll never forget how much we hated each other." Junior high came a nd went, slower for some than others as "ugly stages" took their toll. It was here that junior high dances were more than just ice breakers, as tension was still very existent between some classmates. As high school began, braces came off (slowly but surely) and the concept of social events changed drastically. Dating was never a big topic wouldn't have so much as looked among this class, since the guy to girl at each other in sixth grade are ratio is two to one. Dances became a going to movies and sporting big event involving one member of each events together. Fr.

There is an apparent difference in outlook if those images are compared between, let's say, a twelve-year-old just starting junior high and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old graduating from high school. It is amazing to compare the differences between the two. High school was the farthest thought from the minds of the seniors when they first entered junior high. It was such a change . . . lockers, bells to change classes .. . all was new, and it felt as if the future was finally reached. Now the seniors are faced with a new future, whether it be college, the armed forces, or work. That is what makes planning so necessary, and it took some seniors their whole year to plan what they were going to do after their high school graduation. As Frank Roane said, "I knew 62 ""'i-==-= Shane Nielsen from the day I was born that I was going to pe a farmer."

When a class graduates, they are only getting a little taste of what is yet to come in their hopefully full lives. They say that graduation is not an end but the beginning of meeting new people, having new experiences, and possibly starting fresh in new surroundings. Everything is new, and rightfully so, for the seniors have basically been in the same comfortable surroundings for the past four years. For some reason, graduation is a passage into responsibility. More is expected from the seniors, not only concerning work or school, but more maturity is almost required. Some seniors had a little fun before they had to leave St. Albert for the final time and jump into uncharted territory. Seniors Justin Pekny, Ramsey J abro, Pete Thompson, and Andy Vanfossan had a little fun with the uniform requirement by making a trip to the Goodwill and purchasing "lovely" shirts and pants in a multitude of colors. When asked why he felt the need to dress so hideously, Jabro replied , "We just wanted to be different because we had been wearing dress clothes for four years. It was kind of a way of getting by the system." On the last official day of school, some seniors h eaded over to Kevin Mortensen's home to share in the joy of leaving. Mortensen provided a fire, and the other students provided the material to burn. Many burned notebooks and folders and watched in extreme pleasure as they went up in flames. Others burned items that are synonymous with St. Albert: the 66 beloved plaid skirts, ties. and the popular handbook. This event was also shared with the public when Channel 1 7 came and recorded the fun. No one will forget the good times that were had here a t St. Albert. Four years are hard to just forget. Now the seniors look forward now, looking for new things to discover. They say to not look back, but it is inevitable . It is a sure b et that there will b e a few seniors looking over their s houlders.

" The night that all seniors look forward to had finally come and the class of '92 was full of excitement. The gym was decorated and the seniors were ready to say their final good-byes. As the class of '92 marched in to "Pomp and Circumstance" they experienced many different feelings and emotions. As for Senior Justin Morris, "As I walked down that path to my future, 1 was feeling incredibly relieved that I ended one chapter of my life. I was overjoyed because I knew it had not ended but was ju st begining." As valedictorian s Peter Thompson and Matt Ba rton gave their speeches, many students realized tha t this would be the last time the whole class wou ld be together. While Barton's speech stressed the importance of cherishing .the past and holding on to memories shared as a class, Thompson's was quite the contrary. Usin g quotes from a valedictorian address in the 1987 movie "Say Anything" , Thompson emphasized living life beyond high school. Using the sense of h umor he is known for, Thompson told his fellow gradu ates to look ahead, not behind , and advised them to "never take anything too seriou sly." The senior class took this advice to heart, an d right up to the very end. 'Tm Free", a song from the Soup Dragons' 1988 album "Lovegod" was used as the recessional. While most classes u sed sentimental or more serious songs to finish th eir gradu - ation, this graduation ended on a high n ote, so to speak. Graduation wa s a sad time for this class of sixty students, many of which have attended school together since day one. "A lot has happened in thirteen years," commented senior Shane Nielsen.

Most students come to school everyday without fully appreciating what our faculty has to put_ up with-us. They have their bad days just like us, yet they're still able to put up with the attitudes, the late papers, the excuses. We probably go home thinking that we're the only people with a life outside of school. Many of the teachers here have special relationships with their co-workers, as well as with some students. Ms. McGuire lives with Ms. Oatman, and they, "do lots together. After games, we get together and get sornething to eat." McGuire is also friends with several students here, especially with her art four =la......:..:...r~~ students. She stated, 'Tve b ecome very good friends with Rob Ruiz. I've come to depend on Tina O'Brien a lot this year, too." With any job, there are many likes and dislikes, but, h ere at S.A. , the likes out weigh the dislikes. As the years have progressed, many teachers feel that the atmosphere has become more positive, the attitudes are more upbeat. We can depend on teachers for advice, and someone to look up to for guidance. by Jenni Tobias Below left: Ms. Machmuller, Mrs, Angeroth and Miss Hoff usually spend their lunch hours in the teacher lunch room.

Hard work, dedication, stress, devotion these words all describe our administration. The school's administrators are the rule makers, rule enforcers, decision makers, and over seers that keep St. Albert in order. The administration consists of Msgr., Chamberlain, Dr. Avise , Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Bragg, Mrs. Wandersee, and Mr. Scichilone. More times th an n ot, a dministra tors are s een a s a studen t's enemies. However, more then we know or ca re to believe, our administrators do wha t's best for the student body. The rules are for our benefit. This school year a lot of new teachers and faculty came to St. Albert. "We did a good job of selecting staff to join us this past year. The people we brought in h ave the potential to be outstanding educators, " said Dr. A vise. Another less pleasant job of the administrators is that of giving demerits. They are given for uniforms, tardies, food in the academic wings, and other violations of the handbook and are given many times a day. This isn't a pleasant job , but someone h as to do it. "I've gotten a lot of demerits for my skirt. I don't think its fair, but I gu ess that's the rule ," said sophomore J ess Brown. We all see our group of admin istrators around school, but school is only about 75% of th eir life. But wh a t they do with the other 25%? Look aroun d a t every game, meet , and school function.

Throughout the past 27 years, we have seen state championships in basketball, baseball, and track, as well as numerous victories in other sports. We have witnessed the start of sports programs such as swimming and soccer, and the end of others. As the years go by, sports a re seen as a place for students to excel outside of the classroom. These extra -curricular activities provide a way for St. Albert to be acknowledged in the community outside of the academic world. The way we display our pride in teams, su ch as the sta te champions, reflects the pride we have in ourselves and alumni. Traditions have always b een present at St. Albert, and these traditions are always apparent in atheletics. As we see memb ers of families, whether they be siblings or different generations, u se their abilities and talents to their fullest, it is obvious that these atheletes carry tradition within their families as well as the school. The records they break and the goals they reach are pa tterns in themselves, and the only difference between these patterns and the patterns seen within this book is this: these are patterns we try to break out of. 75 Spirits to Raise Falcons get up on your feet . . . .

The right attitude, hard work, and drive is what makes the St. Albert Porn Pon Squad a success. Their success started from the very beginning as the squad traveled to Lake Okoboji for a National Cheerleading Association (N.C.A.) porn pon camp. The N.C.A. gave out ribbons for individual routines, and the team with the most ribbon points recieved a sweepstakes award. St. Albert's squad won that trophy. The pommers recieved a spirit stick every day of camp for showing the most spirit, as well as a plaque for having one of the top routines in camp. After the Okoboji experience, they returned home to practice on their own and as a group every morning from seven to eight o'clock. They were getting ready for the up and coming fall and winter sports seasons.

Pomming, like other activites, is costly. The squad arranged fundraisers such as dances and a car wash. They even went to the St. Albert auction and sold themselves to clean houses. Just as it needs hard work and drive, pomming also requires closeness, unity, and friendship. These things are extracted from occasional squad slumber parties, the time spent together at fundraisers, and going out with each other. "Our squad is very close. We understand, and try to help each other out," said junior Amber Ausdemore, a second year pommer. Now instead of seeing a pommer while walking down the hallway as just another girl in a green and yellow uniform, one might think of h er as a friendly, caring, and hard working individual who, "just really likes to dance." by Phil Hasenkamp 0 0 n (Left) Wendy Larson gets all pumped up the night before the squad performance.

Earning statewide recognition and the respect that goes a long with that, the team has built up a reputation they should be proud of. With seniors Mike Swank, Molly Malone, Andrea Versaci, and Pete Thompson leading the way, this year's team consisted of more than a few standouts. Although the team experienced many injuries and contained a substantial amount of underclassmen , th ey pulled through and were ranked at th e top of the Des Moines Register cross country t eam standings. "Phil [Has enkamp] and Carolyn [Gorman] seemed to recover 100 percent and were ready to go by state," Swank stat ed . At the A.L.

Hasenkamp, in his first year as a harrier, proved tough competition for last year's team leader Sto k , however the two worked together to push each other to excel. Cross country has a lways had a reputation of being more like a "family" than a team . Because of this reputation, some students may be apprehensive in becomin g a h a rrier. Some may feel as though they h ave to h ave a certain personality or sense of humor in order to b a true cross coun try runner.

With their first year in highschool, the freshmen team managed a successful year. With the la rge number of girls goin g out, it was n ecessary to have both an A and B team. Freshman, K0ri Nielson, said, "Some people didn't get a lot of playin g time, but, for the large numbers, [coach Pat) Kroll did a good job putting us in according to our ability. " When asked what the freshmen wanted to acccomplish, most in their first year of high sch ool volleyball, th ere are many different replies. Some said, they just wanted to beat L.C. and T.J. Others said th ey just wanted to stay in sh a pe. But, as Sharon Whetstone stated , "I wanted to get to know th e game, and account for my mistakes, not for anyone elses. If everyon e does this, it will help us work together, and grow as a team.

These are grea t goals, and the freshmen did a great job accomplishing them. As Nielson said, "I love to get good kills, and I think we did. " The j .v. had a positive change as well. Carrie Miller coached h er first year of volleyball, and according to the j .v. players, she did a great job. With their record of 9 -5 , the girls felt they did a good job for their coach. "Coach Miller wa s easier to work with, she always had time to work with us individually. She helped me strive for the best of my a bilities," said junior, Wendy Larson. Junior Erin Walsh, said, "Ca rrie was easier to relate to , and s h e was very understanding, and was always willing to help. " The team h ad a lot to look forward to. Since it was the first year that juniors and sophomores ever played together, they didn't really know what to expect.

Teamwork is the backbone of the team, for without it, there is no way to work, play, and win together. According to senior Melissa Schmida, "Teamwork to me means working as one, doing everything you can to make the whole team look better, not just you. To be a team player, you can never think of yourself first." It was evident when watching the team play that there was a strong sense of unity. Just as evident was the unity off the court. Support for the team was better than ever, with th e crowd cheering the team on. "The support we got from the crowd was great. Having people there means so much and gets our intensity back up," commented senior Terri Petratis. There were many loyal students who followed the team to away games, and gave the team the extra support th ey needed. This also was a s pecial year for head coach Kathy Beckman.

Many feel that this is a landmark year for all the fall sports, especially for volleyball. There were many personal and team goals for the players. Schmida felt that as a team they did have a goal. "We really want to get to "state," and we are trying our hardest to reach this goal, but of course we have obstacles." The obstacle turned out to be Essex, who defeated the Saintes in four games. That was a landmark game, though, for that was the farthest the Saintes had ever reached in state tournament com - petition. As a whole, the volleyball sea son was marked with memorable events. For each individual on the team, there were personal high - lights of the season. For Pe tratis, the highlight of the sea son was "just the closeness of the team.

The junior varsity team came together to have one of the best seasons in S.A. history, finishing the season at 6-0 ,while the freshman/ sophomore team battled to a 3-4 record. The young Falcon s were never out of a game; the largest margin of defeat was six points. The main goal of any junior varsity team is to get experience working as a unit, and getting experience to work through all sorts of different situations. Although the J unior Falcons were never really tested this season. th ey easily defeated all their opponents. "It felt great to h ave a perfect season because it shows th a t we will be prepared for our varsity career. " sta ted junior Mike Pattee.

" Th e Falcons proved to th emselves that no goal is too big for them and, in giving it all they h ad , the season was a unbelievable success. They opened up their season with teams such as Missouri Valley, Thomas J efferson and Flanagan. The Falcons h ad an advantage hosting six ou t of the nine regular season games at home.

Senior Kelly O'Connor wa s awarded most va luable player and wa s also named Senior player of the year in the city.

We started out strong and went downhill a little bit." Falcon wrestling coach Loren Lintner was right, it was a different type of season but, as with any a ctivity, there are many failures and triumphs which make it special and worthwhile to each participant. The Falcons started out with a total of 21 wrestlers, but as the sea son progressed, the numbers s eemed to dwindle. At the end of th e season, the team consisted of 10 wrestlers. However, th ese 10 individuals set an example of what is expected of any athlete when the going gets tough. "I think I did a little better than last year," said sophomore John Burg. "I look forward to n ext year because I know I'll have the experience, and I'll wrestle varsity more." Many of the Falcon grapplers share the same optimistic anticipation for the next season .

Well, that's where ma turity and dedication come into play. The Falcons did their best to a chieve personal goals, and make the best of what they h a d. Meeting individual goals s eemed to be a common a spira tion for the team. When asked what drew him to the sport of wrestling, freshman Mike Wise sa id, "It's an individua l sport." According to junior Justin Crampton, wrestling is exciting beca u se, "It's one-onone . It's more yourself than the team out there." As in any sport, pra ctice is the thing behind the success. Senior . Tim Evers found practice to b e very ben eficial. "It kept me in s h a pe, and improved my skills." This was quite obvious, as Evers went 13 -0 before his first loss of th e season.

The Saintes ended the season with a 12-3 record. It was combined with a lot of young talent; a few varsity players stepped down to help out the team. At first there were a couple of players that thought it was unfair, but learned that it helped them understand the game more. ''The team made me feel welcome and basketball helped me get to know the girls better," said sophomore Sarah Hoogestraat. ''There was something unique about the team," freshman Sharon Whetstone commented. "If we didn't get along off the court, we made sure we got along on the court. We didn't let our other problems interfere with the game." Sa intes coach, Pat Kroll, encouraged the team when th ey were beh ind .

The games within themselves were very intense at times. The smell of victory came with ease to the Saintes. ''They went into the games with a positive attitude, and if they got down on themselves I reassured them that they were playing fine they just needed to relax," commented Kroll. The basketball program seems to be improving and looks very promising for the Saintes in the future. Whetstone seems to think that, "j.v. prepa res you for varsity and helps you learn more about the game and helps you deal with the pressure of playing at the varsity level. There will be a strong Saintes bas ketba ll team in the future if we continue to play together as a team ."

With long and hard hours of practice, the Saintes had high expectations and goals for the season. "Going into the season, we wanted to play to the best of our ability and excel with each game. Our main goal was to win city, thus giving us the advantage to advance further into the tournament," said Coach Heithoff. Little did they know that the season would be one to remember. The motto for the team was "this is the first and only game of the season." With a 17-5 record, the Saintes certainly played as if it were. In the first game of the season, the girls defeated city rival, A.L. Junior Michele Konz said," The win was a real uplift.

Juniors Michele Konz and Patti Stephens, along with sophomores Kelly Hughes and Sarah Shaver completed the starting lineup. Katie Heithoff, Amy Davis and Alexis Becerra came off the bench and contributed a great deal to the team as well. "Towards the end of the season, everyone developed and came into their own," said Heithoff. It was time, once again, to face A.L. in city districts. The game was close until the end, but was decided with one last s hot, a three-pointer, made by "Machine Gun" Kelly Hughes, with seconds left.

They had some tough teams on the schedule, but they seemed to handle them well. 'The harder the team, the better we played, we seemed to play the easy teams more relaxed. When we played the harder ones, we knew how much pressure we had on us. Therefore, we played a lot better," said Smith. Their practice seemed to go well throughout the season.

Tennis is a very popular past time for many people, some play for recreation and some play for a living, but as senior Janna Hicks said "tennis is fun in itself. I like doing things I enjoy with people I enjoy. " Junior Elin Walsh also a dded, "I like the excitement of th e one-on-one physical activity." The girls started off their season on a good note, by defeating Duchesne for the first time in St. Albert tennis history. The squad had a lot of personal goals as Walsh stated "to push myself to be better, not necessarily to win, but to be b etter at my game."

" These goals were very promising for the '92 girls tennis season and future season as well. "Hard workers who are committed to being their best and winning" is how Coach Rew desciibed his girls. The squad had a positive outlook going for it. Since a lot of the senior members will be leaving, it's good that there are n ew faces to take their place, although the sen - iors have a great deal to do with the success of the undercla ssman.

With the varsity Falcons consisting of four seniors, goals and expectations were set high from the very beginning. Senior Shawn Kenney stated, "The goals that I didn't reach last year are the same goals that I wanted to achieve this year." Kenney did just that by having an outstanding singles record and by taking the title of city champ at the fifth seed. Kenney was not alone with top honors at the city tournament. Senior Justin Pekny and junior Chad Arnold also took first place at the second seed and fourth seed, respectively. Pekny is a two-year winner, and he felt "it was a great accomplishment." To many, the city tournament was a positive step toward a common goal: State.

Everyone had their own individual goals, but instead of focusing on what they could do for themselves, they focused mainly on what they could do for the team. There are some highlights individually, though, and for senior Mike Wiegman, his greatest accomplishment during the regular season for both himself and the team was "getting second place at the Atlantic Tournament at number one doubles with Justin Pekny." As a whole, the team performed very well at the tournament, placing third. There could be no team without a coach, and back for h is second year was Coach Vince Rew. Not only did Rew lend support, according to Pekny, "Coach Rew helped me with some aspects of my game." As a whole, the team came together to strive for the best.

These are the people to which the atheletes owe many thanks, because if it weren't for managers there would be no organization. The job of manager consists of not just writing down statistics or collecting equipment, but lending support to the coach and the players as well. "Managers are vitally important to the coaches and the team," Fr. Bud Grant stated. Coaches are often in dire need of managers, and too often the work is done by players, coaches, and even parents. "If the managers weren't there, the players would have no clue of how well they are doing because they wouldn't have any information," said senior Tina O'Brien. O'Brien is one example of a person who can't find the time to actually play the sport, but chooses to be a manager because of the interest she has in it, such as cross country. People often wonder what would possess a person to take on such a "thankless job", but often =:::t 122 times managers are who they are because they cannot be on the team due to lack of time or because of an injury. Then again, a manager could be simply doing a job because they want to. O'Brien explains, "A manager is someone who cares enough to be there even when they don't have to be." This !s a quality of not just a manager, but a leader as well. This may be why managers at St. Albert are able to use the time they spend on the sidelines as service hours for National Honor Society and scholarships. Often managers don't receive credit where credit is due. The hard work these students put in should be acknowledged, at least more than it is. Being a manager may look easy, but it is very time consuming and much responsibility is laid upon that person. by Jenny McGinn 1991-92 managers: Andrea Versaci, Ramsey Jabro, Dan Doner.

Many school records were broken and personal bests achieved. In the fall, the volleyball team went as far as regionals and was one step away from state tournament play. The football team went undefeated throughout the regular season, and encountered their only loss in substate play. Also in the fall, the cross country teams reached new heights a t state competition. The girls placed 7th and the boys placed 2nd, which was a new record for St. Albert. In the winter, the girls basketball team showed off their talent by winning the district games, and with the help of a last s econd basket by sophomore Kelly Hugh es, the team advanced to sectionals. This left the Saints with a new school record, and a h appy Coach Heitoff. Team unity, hard work , and dedication all paid off for the boys basketball team. The boys en ded the season with a great record and a season to be proud of. The wrestlers went through a tough schedule this year and had to overcome a lot of obstacles, but all the hard work payed off with a very impressive record. There weren 't enough good things to say about the spring sports this year. The boys' and girls' tennis teams both played very well this year. The girls ended the season with the s econd best record in school history , and the boys team advanced to substate. The boys team ended with a record that beat any previous record at S.A. The girls' soccer team played to the best of their potential, leading them to another school record. The boys' team made Fr. Bud prou d with their sucessful record a nd outstanding play. The boys' track team sent more guys to state competition the ever before, and the girls sent nine. Both teams had great seasons and were su cessful at state competitions. Both school records and personal records were broken to make a perfect end to a great year.

Heights "The team looked pretty good from the bench." Lori Fox I Reach This year, the Saintes volleyball squad gave the school hope, and possibly insight for the future the game of volleyball. The varsity squad finished their regular season with a record of 20-11-7. Their post-season started out by playing TriCenter and the Saintes defeated them in a set of five tough matches. The next contender was the regular season rival, Underwood, which the Saintes defeated in their ever present five match game. Up next was Carson-Macedonia, which the girls knocked off in another set of five . In the district first-round of finals, the Saintes met up with their arch n emesis once again, Underwood. In an emotional match, the Saintes ended up victorious, each girl going home with their own little piece of that very sweet victory, a gold medal. With hopes soaring, the Saintes went on to their next contender and former state qualifier, Essex. Knowing they would be on Essex's home turf, and playing in a new gym, the Saintes h ad to harbor those added pressures as well as trying to play the best game they've ever played. The Saintes lost the first two sets, but tried for a comeback by defeating Essex in the third set. But, the Saintes fell behind and lost the fourth; they ended their s eason in a sportsman-like manner, and retreated to their locker room. There, teammates cried and h u gged, with Coach Beckman leaving h er girls with an inspirational talk to end the season. Th e loss so close to State was traumatic, but at least there is a chance that the '1:1!.intes volleyball team can go just as far as any other team can, and possibly farther. Senior, Missy Schmida, and four year volleyball player said , " I really didn't think about missing volleyball unW after we lost at Essex. I miss it. but it's over. " 127 F= Senior Mike Swank struggles to stay ahead of one of his opponents during the state Cross Country meet in Des Moines.

But, this year's competition, in Ames, Iowa, was on the same day as the SubState fooball game also in Ames. "I was happy to see more people than usual up at State, but I would like to think that if there wouldn't have been a football game up there too, people would still have come," stated senior Molly Malone Both boys and girls teams qualified for the state comptition and finished very well overall. The boys finshed second while the girls finished seventh. Finishing second at Sta te wa s the highest finish ever for the St. Albert boys' team. Doing well at sta te wasn't all that the cross country teams did . Both the girls' and boys' teams were also District and Conference Champions. For the Saintes, Jill Konz came in sixteenth, first for the Saintes. Other finishes included Andrea Versaci at thirtith. Val Graeve at sixith , Molly Malone at sixty-fifth and Carolyn Gorman a t nintyfourth. For the Falcons, Corey Stock came in fourth, first for the Falcons. The boys individual standings were Danny Stock twenty-fifth,;Phil Hasenkamp twenty-eighth; Shawn Jones thirty-fou rth,;Mike Swank finished fifty-first; Mike Doner fifty-second while Jason Smith finished sixty-sixth. All in all everyone did a good job at state and are ready to come back n ext year and do even better. The team is pretty young and that gives you a lot of potential for the years to come. State wa s very successful for the St. Albert Cross Country teams. According to j u nior Phil Hasenkamp. "It was a good way to cap off a successful season. " 129 The sub-state football game was played at the dome in Vermillion, South Dakota. Many roadtripped it t o see the team in action and were thankful t o see this sign--only two miles left! Seniors Robe rt Ruiz and Kurt Claussen put up a high five in celebration of the completion of a great play. This game was played at Cyclone Stadium in Ames, a step up from the high school fields the Falcons are used to playing on. =:j.__1 _,-~= While in possession of the ball t h e Falcons p a u se t o go over the game plan in hopes of a touchdown. Con cen - tration could be read on the faces of many players. Road • "It was just a great experience , I'll never forget" Coach Schcilone I Glory After missing out on a trip to the playoffs last year, the '91 Falcons answered with resounding fashion. The Falcons not only got an invite to the playoffs, they made it all the way to the semifinals before being defeated by Rock Rapids Central Lyon 39-13. The Falcons gave fans another added bonus, by hosting the first round game at Falcon Field. Numerous fans braved the single-digit temperatures to cheer on the home team, as they clashed with first round opponent, Mapleton-Maple Valley. The Falcons punished the Rams 49- 15. According to junior Matt Smith, "The score just proved how good we really were." The win also signified the first time in S.A. history, that a football team had won 10 games in a season . Along with the second round came the snow and ice. Due to the treacherous conditions, the game was moved to Jack Trice Memorial Stadium in Ames, Iowa. This marked the first time that a S.A. team had played in a college stadium. "It wa s a hectic s chedule, things were just happening too fast, " Stated Coach Scichilone. The quarterfinals pitted Roland-Story against S.A. The Norsemen were at the advantage, getting the Falcons up at 4 a .m. in order to make it to Ames by game time. The Falcons took a posi ive attitude into the locker room at h alftime with a two point advantage, leading 2-0. In the s econd h alf, the Falcons kicked in th e afterburners, s coring 18 points on two touchdowns and Smith's 3 1-yardfield goal. Th e Falcons went on to win 20-6. Th e Falcons faced the Lion s of Rock Rapid Central Lyon. The game wa s played in Vermillion, South Dakota in the DakotaDome . This was another first for th e mighty Falcons. In th e first half of play. the Falcons committed turnovers and penalties, two things unfamiliar to this year's squad , and went in to the locker room a little dish eartened being down 33-0 . Bu t. n ever being a team to quit. the Falcons battled back to score makin g the final 39-13 . "It was a dream come true, ever sin ce I"ve been a coach we've been hoping to get to that third game. I was real excited that we made it to th e semi-finals. It was just a great exp rience, I'll never forger it." commented Scichilone .

Junior Patti Stephens keeps on her tradition of hurdling at the state meet. 132 Coaches Terry Dolnicek and John Shorey discuss upcoming events at Drake Stadium. "I liked State because I had my best times all year." - Michele Konz Beat State track again . . .. The Saintes wen t again to Des Moines to Drake Stadium on May 22nd and 23rd stayin g at the Saintes favorite, The Howard J ohnson (Ho-Jo) as J enni Tobias might call it. Junior Patti Stephens qualified in 100 meter hurdles running a 16.61 missing to qualify for the next day by .6 of a second. Stephens also qualified in the shuttle hurdle relay running with freshman Kori Nielsen , sophomore Carrie McGruder, and freshman Sharon Whetstone, running their seasons best 1:08.31 , not qualifying by .18 of a second. McGruder also ran in the 4 X 400 relay with senior Molly Ma lon e, junior Michele Konz, and senior Nikki Ravlin in another s eason's best running 4:09 .91 missing qualifying by .03 of a second. Ravlin, Malon e, and Konz also joined sophomore Val Graeve in the 4 X 800 relay running this one at 10:02.83 . Soph omore Jill Konz ran th e 3000 meters at the time of 12:00.6. The Saintes track team did well going to state with five events. "I liked state because I h ad my best times all year. Drake is a fast track to run on" said Michele Konz. "It got me more prepared for my years to come in track. It wa s a very different and exciting experience·· said Whetstone. As a team, the Saintes failed to place overall in the meet. However, experien ce will be a major part of the team's su ccess n ext year. Steph ens said , "I definitely think that experience is the key. I see u s coming back next year as a big threat to a lot of other teams." Though not all persona l goals were reached at Drake Sta dium, the Saintes achieved one thing they set out to do, h ave fun . Swimming, fu nnel cakes, and mall shopping-sprees were all part of the agenda. No doubt, they'll be back to Des Moines next year, and no doubt. they'll be a fore to reckon with, both on and off the track. 133 J:::= Junior Jason Smith dreams of one day being able to walk through this tunnel. Junior Phil Hasenkamp strides ahead of the pack during one of his races at Drake. Tommy Hughes, Shawn Jones, Phil Hasenkamp, Corey Stock, John Hromadka, Jason Smith, Mike Swank, and Coach Meshling take time for a picture in between races. "[I] had good tim.e . . • a " -Kyle Wandersee senior Meet The place: Des Moines. The time: May 29-30. This year St. Albert sent guys up to Boys State Track. They did just as well as everyone expected them to, maybe better. The team overall placed sixth; Corey Stock placed third in the 400; Phil Hasenkamp pulled first in the 800 and the mile and second in the two mile taking two state titles. Andy Turner did well in the shot; Kyle Wandersee, Kirk Menges, Scott Smith and Justin Morris ran in the 800 distance medley and when asked how he felt after the race Kyle said he, "had a good time. " He was also asked how he felt being a senior at the end of track season. He said he felt. " sad, but will run at USO so I have something to look forward to." The whole weekend was not races and relays for our good old S .A. boys. The guys had their share of fun before and after the races. One can just imagine the chaos they caused in the hotel. It's all just good clean fun, right boys? They all partied h ard after the races and had a lot to party for. They all did extremely well and carried on the winning tradition of the Falcons. All of the seniors will miss the practices, hard work, the coaches never ending nagging about being the best, the drive, the agony of defeat but most of all the thrill of crossing that fmish line a winner. It is now the juniors turn to carry on the tradition. We'll have a fresh start and new runners to help them out. By Erin Walsh 135 t== SERVICE ALL MAKES (71 2) 3:28-1 536 • "'""' . GRIFFITH T.V.

For the rest of the school, summer was soon to approach, with finals the only obstacle blocking their path, bringing the 90-91 school year to on end. . , ,, Many different poses were struck at St. Albert during the 1990-91 school year. These varied from the wide-eyed craziness of Jason Wanning to the quiet respect shown by Jay Killion and Kari Hanafan at the Senior Ring Mass.

As o school, we've struck out in new directions. New programs were initiated to put the school's academic goals within striking distance and in sports, the changing of players from one year to the next brought new ideas and attitudes. out seniors graduated, yet attaining their goals as the year progressed helped the athletes strike their own pose. Since the size of each class was so small, each person was able to develop o different pose. From the wild days of Homecoming to the f ormol days of Prom each person put o small piece of themself into their style. Striking their final pose, senior pictures allowed the graduates o chance to shore their uniqueness with the world.

Old relationships will always stay new within the Saint Albert community just as relationships among the S.A. students bring about a sense of togetherness.

St. Albert hos been around for twenty-six years and the faculty, staff, and friends of todo y keep the school going. There hove been teachers in the system since day one, graduates from St. Albert that presently teach, and Liberty Rocho collecting tickets for the sports. St. Albert must hove a meaning behind its unity, otherwise these friends of the school would not still be here. ''Friends ore something that everyone needs and you never con hove enough of them," added sophomore Amber A usdemore.

What some would coll fashions were present time fads, soon neon ond suede were gone ond new fads were concentrated upon. There is o difference between fod ond fashion. Fad is o temporary fashion. Fashion, on the other hand is more the style of dress, or etiquette, so from fads to fashion the difference is clear, fashion comes out on dress-up days or fun outings with friends, and fads ore shown at oil times, school, athletics, and even on o Standout Shawn Shea, portrayed the latest in neon casual wear, seen mostly on males wanting to emit a "macho image." Sarah Hobbi ns displays t he latest fashio n in ear wear, which often adds the final touch to an o utfit. dote to show your personality. Missy Schmido and Anne Holder both agreed that ' 'fads ore good because our society needs the interesting change." Fads added to on outfit, and showed more of someones personality. As for example, o wild pair of eorings could show that o person wos very confident in themselves. For easy occe5s to accessories, remember, ''The moll hos it oil" stated Jenny Mc Ginn. As there ore so many stores for the girls to get their accessories, there ore also o lot more "girfy" fashions, Such os the suede boots, which you wouldn't see boys wearing. Fashions come from both East and West coasts ond then moved inward towards the heartland. ' 'Fashion is something that makes you feel more secure about yourself", expressed Nikki Rav/in. Who sets these trendy fashions? ''High society people", stated Anne Holder. There is no telling what will be popular tomorrow or in o month, but what con be determined is that Fads and Fashion make o person. Making a personality statement, Shawn Shea wears a hip pouch to add spark to his trendy outfits. As suede became a fashionable part of the casual outfit, it had also became th e latest in shoewear. Becoming a not-sohot fad, snap bracelets invaded the St. Albert hallways for less than a month. .. rogess1ve aychecks by Robi Thomas After leaving school for the day, the general thought was to go home, re/ox and watch some un[mportont t. v. show. Right? Not everyone at Saint Albert hod this luxury, as most juniors and seniors held port-time jobs. One advantage of working was for the money. ''/got ojob because I like working with children and the fact that the job pays good", stated sophmore Tommie Durke. But there were some who needed the money to help out at home. These students were Zack Fetter shows his Halloween spirit while working at Drug Town in the Halloween aisle. Jenny McGinn puts a smile on her face, to pass the time away while in the cosmetics. more or less forced into finding o job, whether they enjoyed it or not. This was also on advantage for the student in the long run, however, as it helped the person balance their own money and prepare for for the future. ''/ realize that paying for my own stuff makes me more aware of the Value of o dollar and that the money doesn't go as for when I hove to pay for my own things, " commented senior Tino Ryon. With every advantage there must come some disadvantages, too. One major disodvantage was not being able to get your homework done before coming bock to school. Most students who worked found the time to do their homework in studyholl or before school. "Most often I hove to ask for certain days off in order to do my homework or just to spend time with my friends," said senior Meg Gronstal. Though working hos its advantages and disadvantages, the freedom to work helps o student learn about financial responsibility for years to come. Allison Hunter and Zack Fetter shows that working together can be fun . "Isn't this exciting? " thinks Letitia Sanchez who worked at Frederick's. A mans work is never done, exclaims Kevin Morten se n while working in the candy aisle. ovel ight by Jonna Hicks Memories lost forever, and the memories mode on Homecoming night, Octo- · ber 6, 1990, lingered in the minds of students. Many things contributed to the success of the dance, entitled "Blaze of Glory. " It was a success, according to senior class president Joy Killion, ''Because it was a good theme and the student council worked hard on it. "Student Council advisor Maryann Angeroth hod a different idea of why it was a success. ''A Jot of people were there, and the more people that go to the events, the more fun they hove." Queen Kari Hanafan and King Brian Avise find publicity a charming addition to being crowned. Kari Hanafan and Fr. Bud Grant look over a script ure passage before the Homecomng Mass. Decorations were simple, with boils of hoy and saddles which complimented the theme. "I thought the decorations went along with the theme very well, " commented junior Sarah Hobbins. Excitement hod built up days before the dance with the Homecoming Moss, which brought together the high school. Another spirit builder was the traditional crowning of royalty at the Thursday night pep rally. Tension mounted, and the end result was the crowning of King Brion A vise and Queen Kori Hanafan. ''I can't believe it/" was the thought that ran through Honofon's head ofter being crowned, as people bombarded both Hanafan and A vise with hugs and handshakes. "I didn't expect it at oil," was Brion A vise's reaction to his crowning. Time and time again, Homecoming was looked upon os o time where alumni come bock to their olmo mater and on easy week of school was expected. There was more to this year's Homecoming.

Junior Terri Petrotis commented that, ' 'Mounts ore a change from regular cheers." Many of the mounts that were performed lost year were learned at Cheerleoding Comp, held in Ames, Iowa, over the summer. The Cheerleaders also used a Notional Cheerleoding Association book to learn the mounts. Comp provided the Cheerleaders with a lot of valuable information on how to better perform mounts, the main issue being to remain stiff, according to Jennny McGinn. Some mounts ore easier than others, but with determination ond practice, the mounts get easier to perform.

The importance of getting a date has seemed to have dwindled since it has been clearly noticed that people prefer group dates. Weekend nights students could be found at Burger King on Madison Avenue, but in Jerry Schmitz's case he likes to "Hang out in the Foodland parking lot and look for babes." Several different activities were available for those who enjoyed group dates, as O'Connor added he enjoyed, "going to movies and a restaurant." Students found that going "dutch" was a lot easier to handle since the dollar value has gone down.

"We hod a chance to soy what was necessary which helped make decisions," stated freshman rep Dove Poole. Many issues were brought up at student council meetings yet oil the council could do was represent the ideas to the administrative and school board. Issues of the year centered upon uniforms, or lock of, for the moles and changing of uniform for the females. Coming up with a strict uniform proposal, student council members presented the proposal to the board. Many comments on existing uniforms were mode, such as parental complaints that uniform skirts were too short. As a result, a proposal was mode that a different style of skirt be brought to the board. Although not many ore aware of the involvement of the student council, they kept themselves busy preparing for dances. Each class was assigned to sponsor a dance, freshman having Christmas, sophomores having Valentines and juniors sponsoring Prom. This not only included making all arrangements for each dance, but also decorating and clean up as well. As a whole, the council began the year with the Homecoming Dance and Pep Rally. Representatives from each grade were assigned jobs ad the council as a group decorated for the dance. Along with dances, the council hod a new organization to collect pop cons from receptacles on every Tuesday and Thursday. The cons were then token by the Pepsi vendor, in return the council received approximately sixty dollars every week. At th end of the year, the council gave a gift to the school or a particular deportment within the school. For the first in many years, the council took on active participation role in many school activities. " We speak for the student body, therefore the students hove a soy in what is going on," explained Poole. bging By Sarah Hobbins Some say high school years are the best times in life. This statement was true in many ways but high school was not all parties and having fun. As the class of 1994 learned quickly as freshman, high school took hard work and concentration in both academics and sports. Being a freshman wasn't easy. Freshman JiII Konz stated, " There are ex tra pressures being in high school instead of junior high but you have to be smart enough to handle them." Added pressures come from both school and sports. There were however, incentives, such as picking your own classes and electives and the new experience of arena scheduling. There were also differences in sports and extra curricular activities at the high school level. Sports in high school takes dedication, time, and practice. Other extra curricular activities that freshman can participate in such as school plays and 111 think the freshman class hos o lot of potential and talent and o good future ahead of us."

Of course there were special advantages that came with being a freshman such as being able to attend pep rallies, participate in varsity level sports, and having classes with upperclassmen. "/feel more a part of the high school being in some classes with upperclassmen. It g i ves you a chance to real/y get to know a lot more people and make new friends, " stated freshman Kate Hobbins. Discovering friendships that would last a lifetime, the f irst high school year was also a year to build r elationships.

School wos released due to the cold and students began to worry if the Christmas dance would still be held. Never fear, the show must go on, and so it did. Struggling their way through harsh winds and drifts of snow, the dance began and as the night progressed, the weather grew colder. Parents drove the younger students to the dance and afterwords waited in their toasty cars for their children to reoppeor ofter the dance 's existence was final. This night was one of excitement for many freshman girls, like Kelly Hughes and Amy Davis, who felt that ''it was fun to dress up in a formal, going out to eat, and just attending the dance."

For instance, cost was o major concern for not only boys but girls too. Formal dresses were quite on investment and ran anywhere from $150-$200.

What makes o class ring so special? Closs rings mode high school years always o special time. Closs rings symbolized individuality among the sophomore class. When one picked out o class ring, they found that it resembled who they were both outside and inside. ''/ picked out the one I really liked. It hod to be different and nobody else was getting one like it, " stated Chuck Jones. Along with individuality, class rings also gave sophomores more status in high school. ''/ feel that o class ring makes you more port of high school because it represents 5.A. and the school system," said Jenny Tobias. But class rings also let o student remember their years in high school, as it showed,' 'that I mode it through Chad Arnold, Mott Auen, Amber Ausdemore, Alexis Becerra, Steve Belt, Angel Bernemonn, Mork Bertsch, Corl Diede, Megan Birkhofer, Michael Bjork, Tommie Burke, Jenny Christensen Brion Cihocek, Justin Crompton, Robert Davis, Theresa Eich, Travis Estell "lets me remember the fun times I had with my friends"# Kirk Menges school and it also lets me remember the fun times I hod with my friends, " commented Kirk Menges. When sophomores looked around for o class ring, one thing come to mind and that was, the cost of the ring and who was to pay for it. Although most sophomores didn't hold o job, it was hard for them to purchase o ring, therefore parents were the ones who bought the ring for them. But, there were some students who hod to pay their parents bock while others didn't. ·'My parents bought my ring for me as o gift and it shows that they core about me," stated Jenny Tobias. For each student, o class ring meant different things. For some it meant individuality and for others it means being o port of Saint Albert. Out for them oil, it means o port of growing up. Brian Cihacek listens attentively to the Josten rep while he explains the caretaking of a class ring. Rings often ran between $90-400 and stood as a constant reminder of high school years, yet women 's rings could cost two to three times less than males. How much did your class ring cost and who had to pay for it? Your parents or yourself? "My pa re nts bo ught my ring for me and they paid $315. Even thoug h my parents bought it fo r me , I have to pay them back o n a payment pla n . I a lso think that if yo u buy you r own ring, there is mo re va lue t o it."# Chuck Jones.

The answer to that question could be answered in one word: closeness. There were many "different" reasons why the sophomores were so close. For example, they oil got along well together and they did many things as o class outside of school on weekends, which wosn 't uncommon for 5.A. but different than other high school classes. But what mode the class so close? According to sophomore Mott Smith, ''we get along really well with each other because we oil act the some."

Some of the activities of the sophomores that occurred on weekends according to sophomore Jenny Christiansen, ''skiing,sledding, bowling, games, etc." were oil port of the closeness. Sophomore Corey Stock added that they also hod, ''parties and rollerskating and dances together " . Whether the sophomore class is close because of their compatible personalities or spending so much time together outside of school, the most important reason for their closeness was summed up in one sentence by Christiansen, ''we gave each other a chance and we core about each other and each other's feelings." ·• John Hrmodka, Emiliano " Mann y " Sanchez, Jason Smith, Dry ant Ficek, and Mike Pattee gather in the g y m lobby to eat their lunches together.

David Wulff Anxiously awaiting his turn to speak, Chad Graeve found the junior class retreat to be a time to show leadership abilities. The retreat gave time away from regularly scheduled classes for the juniors to learn about one another. How do you balance your time between strenuous hours of acedemics and long hours of athletics?

By Jonna Hicks Every year each class at St. Albert looks forward to o retreat where they con get away from the every day burden of school. This year's juniorsenior retreat was no different. For the first time, juniors and seniors come together to shore the retreat experience at Comp Niyoti, outside of Glenwood. Forgiving was o main topic of the retreat, on important topic that needed to be discussed. Anne Holder particularly liked this port, stating, ''It took core of hours of people ripping other people apart. " There was o more personal reason some juniors enjoyed the retreat. According to leonine Masker, ·'ft helped me see where the people from the rest of the doss were coming from. " Opinions were spoken, and o basic understanding come about because of this. No problems were evident when it come to combining both the junior and senior classes for the retreat pur- , pose. Each come more familiar to the other, which might not hove happened without the retreat. Masker liked the set-up, saying, "If you didn't know people, you got to know them. " This was one aspect of the retreat that many people seemed to enjoy. Every person hod their own opinion towards which port was best. It was the forgiving of friends in front of each other, the rugby, the private time with their classmates, and the individual prayers. Who is to soy which port was best? Overall, the retreat was a success, and those who attended it felt it was worth while, and feel that the tradition of yearly retreats should continue. Shown Kenney hos this to soy about the retreats in general. ''It's something different, and it odds variety." • 5 Pondering her thoughts, Jenny McGinn thinks of what to write on her shard.

Seniors in their graduation gowns, with caps in hand, awaited that last moment when the diploma was placed in their palms. Although graduaton was a very happy time for students, it also meant saying goodbye to something familiar. Chali Inserra commented that she was "very anxious" but that there was also some anxiety, "there is a part of you that wants to hang on to the memories but a bigger part of you that you know needs to grow and you can only do that by letting go." The new challenges brought teardrops of fear and anticipation, remembering all the special times of high school. Jill Wineinger stated that she was "happy to be out of school and sad at the same time because I won't get to see a lot of my friends."

According to Amy Evers, "I am looking forward to leaving but it will be difficult to leave the security of school here." Tim Howard agrees with Evers, "I feel bad about leaving but I want to move on." When asked what gave them the most security, the most popular answer was friends, as senior Trent Hemmingsen stated, "I know everyone and I have friends here." Tina Ryan also believes that friends and "knowing people" gave her the most security. As the seniors moved on to college and better things they learned to cope without the securities of St. Albert and family and friends.

Senior Kevin Ryan is an example of this. "I spend all of my money on myself, except for school tickets." Many parents have a line drawn as to what they will pay for. Did you ever notice how fast your money disappeared? Whether it went to car payments, paying off loans to your parents, or just personal entertainment, most people don't even see their paycheck long enough before it is spent. "Most of my check goes to gas or food for myself," senior Matt Noon stated. Many seniors end up buying their own gas as only a few students are fortunate enough to have it payed for by their parents.

Looking to teachers for open minds, both the junior and senior classes partook in a joint retreat on October 15 and 16th. Throughout their lives, both juniors and seniors will find relating to others difficult. Taking this into consideration, the retreat was designed to aid the strained re1 at ions hips within the groups. "It was designed to give juniors and seniors a chance to relate to each other in a structured, non-academic environment," as Jan Machmuller affirmed. Machm u lier, along with Father Grant, attended the retreat as chaperones. Retreats in the past were often a time for friends and classes to work out their differences. However, the junior-s enior retreat was geared more towards teaching the classes interpe.rsonal relations.

Director Fred Wilson made his debut on the St. Albert stage, bringing a strong drama background with him. Wilson found it very easy to come into the St. Albert Drama Department, with the students eager to learn and work. Casting may have been a tad more difficult, since Wilson had never worked with the drama crew from S.A. before, "it was hard because I didn't know people well enough and if they would come through. " "Cinderella 's " cast came through, though and in flying colors. Experienced performers were on the stage, with Shauna Tedesco and Stac y Mcintosh both playing the role of Cinderella. Coming back for another stage performance was Jay Killion, who played the Prince. For many, their parts gave them memorable moments. For others, they will remember them backstage preparation with fondness. ''The practices; we goofed around, which helped keep a positive atmosphere around the stage." "Cinderella " was well-received by the audience. According to Wilson, "/think the market for children's theatre is definately there." This was e vident as many people enjoyed the performance, especially when it was performed for the primary school children. We all wish, at one time or another, that we could live a fairy tale, and we seem to forget about the fairy tales we grew to love as children. "It's sad we don't appreciate nursery rhymes when we are children, and when we watch them, it's kind of refreshing," commeted Wilson. Now when viewing a show such as "Cinderella," we can appreciate the story more. Faculty and Staff display their keen abilities to help while principal, Mike Avise showed off "Falcon Power."

Kristie Gross which included Dr. Avise, Mr. Jawarski, and Mrs. Wandersee, Mr. Kavars and Mr. Bragg would usually be associated with student discipline, but they are involved with much more than that. Mr. Jawarski took care of the handbook regulations along with the transportation of the bussing system while Mrs. Wandersee took care of the junior high students and helped them throughout their day and Dr. Avise made r1 sure that all jobs were accomplished accordingly. A smile and helpful hand were always offered when entering the office. The office staff put aside their daily work to aid students whenever something was needed students could rely on the office personnel. Not given half the recognition that was highly deserved, the janitorial staff were often taken for granted and yet they were very vital people. The janitors were responsible for making St. Albert presentable to the community. High school is a place to make new friends, exp lo re, and learn . The teachers at St. Albert offered their talents and abilities to accomp lish these goals. Teachers be1 ieved that promoting a positive attitude to the students would bring success that lead to "Be it known to all who enter here, Christ is the reason for this school.

The first day of school was not only hard for new students, but new teachers as well. Jan Machmuller was one of the many additions to the faculty this year. She felt that "St. Albert has a very professional attitude. The kids are here to learn and that is what we expect of them." Along with the new faculty St. Albert treasures the longterm members. Terry Dolnicek marks his sixteenth year stating, "seeing the potential that exists in the kids here and being a part of the development, what the teachers see now is what the What m o ti - vates you to teach at S.A.? " I like working at a Christian school, the small classes, and being able to teach the moral standards are something the children need to develop. The fact that I am working with children and all of the family ties in the school, motivate me in my job here. The idea of knowing the parents and the children as well, creates the enjoyable atmosphere here at St. Albert." Konnie Wiegman kids will realize years from now." "The fact that I was taught to do the best that I can, I like things to run well and I want to be a part of that," added Art teacher Deb McGuire when she was asked what motivated her at St. Albert. St. Albert opened its doors to four new teachers, welcoming each and every one in a unique and different way. Ms. Machmuller stated, "the friendliness of the school, the home atmosphere, and the sincere students," made her first days welcome. Faculty at Saint Albert were all new at one time, so an appreciative "hello" or a pat on the back was always welcomed to not only the new but the older teachers as well. MR.

ITY the sweep of Upon walking into the office to pick up an admit by Pam L0okabill or a pass or for some other reason, how often were the secretaries thanked? Or going through the lunchline, were the cooks also thanked? What about the people who kept the school clean? Yes, the cooks, secretaries and janitors are all a part of the thankless staff at St. Albert. Secretary Marsha Wise, a Saint Albert alumni, typed reports and correspondances, among other things and has worked in the office for three years. She took the job in the S.A. office because, "I believe in a Catholic education and after years of volunteering and being room mother, I took an opening in the office." The other staff member in the main office was Secretary /Receptionist Jeanne Patten. Patten has worked in the office for two years and like Wise has students att ending S.A. and was very supportive of What keeps you going? "The staff and students are good here. I wanted to be a part of the system because I have three children here- they are a very important part of my life. I enjoy it here.

I am very supportive of the system and want to keep being a part of it." a Catholic education. "I wanted to be a part of the system because of my kids and I felt very appreciated here." Not only did the secretaries enjoy being a part of the S.A. staff, but also the janitors and cooks. Cook and three year Neola Bus Driver, Jeanette Masker commented, "I liked the people I worked with and the association we had with the students." An even better incentive for Masker was that, "I get holidays and summers off." The janitors (Harold Russell, Charles Matutka, Elmer Rodenburg and Glen Spar) kept S.A. looking good and deserved much thanks. Early hours and energy needed for the job, however, took its toll on both Charles and Glen, as both were hospitalized during the year. It then became Harold Russell's job to replace them with competent help. JEANETTE MASKER DEVOTES HER DAYS not only as o cook but also as o bus driver.

What most people don't realize is how much time they gave to S.A. through after school activities like dances and sports events. At the start of each school year the administration returned early from the fun and frollicking of their summer vacatons to help ready the school for the students' and teachers' return. After school let out for the summer, the teachers often stayed, making sure the school is left in good condition for the next year.

Volleyball Girls set high goals and almost make it happen by Sarah Hobbins With four seniors who had played varsity positions for three years, the Saintes successful season rested on experience. The team set high goals as Coach Beckman stated, "were to make it to the finals of sectionals. " Losing to Essex in the final round, the Saintes ended their season /st in Conference and second in Sectionals. Success as a team was evident throughout the year, but as Beckman added, each girl attained their own personal achievements. "Kristie Gross was very conistent and Kari Hanafan and P ousing to toke o breath both Stephanie Klement and Kori Hanafan discuss bock row strategies. Stephanie Klement developed leadership." In addition to these, Beckman added, "Missy Schmida matured as a varsity played while Jeanine Masker and Lisa Spears became strong hitters." Highlights of the season for Beckman came as she was able to watch "seven girls grow and progress as players and individuals." Klement, however, felt the season highlight came, "when we played and came so close to beating Underwood." Their growth as individuals led the girls to other personal achievements: Kari Hanafan- I st team All City. I st team All Conference; Jeanine Masker- 2nd team All City, I st team All ConLU ference; Lisa Spears, 2nd team All City; Kristie Gross and Stephanie KlementHonorable Mention All City. Hanafan also led the team with the highest percentage hits while Gross followed having highest percentage serves. Following this trend of persona l growth was Jeanine Masker with the team's highest percentage blocks. Part of the team's success was built on being adaptable . At one point, se tte r Missy Schmida was "moved to left-front and we put Terri Petratis in as an additional blocker a nd hitter," Beckman concluded, adding, "we also used Pam Lookabill in serving."

The hard work came in streaks, win two, lose two, having a hard time keeping heads up and making the momentum work for them. Team energy kept the young Saintes pushing for victory though. "Chez was a good coach and very energetic, " added hitter/ setter Patti Stephens. Kinart added, "practices pushed us harder to make us do better. " Coming into the season with visible intensity, the Saintes won their season opener and the second and third games. At that time, however, the Saintes went into their wave motion. "Adjusting to the new faces was hard, " stated junior Jacque Hughes, also adding, "but by game time, knowing everyone made it easier to work together. " Teammates must have the inner strength to put their differences aside and do their best, however, this isn't always easy, "Having a new coach was hard to adjust to," stated Nikki Ra v/in.

Metioning key factors which held the Saintes together, junior varsity player Jenni Tobias commented, "They had a lot of individual talent which held the team together.

Although they never made playoffs, the season was still a "success." by Pam Lookabill Although the success of the Varsity football team did not reflect in their 4-5 record, it did show in other ways, as the Falcons faced teams from four different states and had to rely on underclassmen to fill the open spaces. The 1990 schedule was a tough one for the football team, according to Head Coach Marshall Scichilone, "we played four teams from four different states that made it to the playoffs." Playing teams from four different classes was also another sign of a tough schedule. However. according to running back Head Cooch Marshall Scichilone gives some helpful advise to his players during a timeout. Kelly O 'Connor the record didn't give the team justification, "considering the opponents we played, two out of nine won their state championships. So we did okay." Only two starters returned this year, leaving the underclassmen to fill the voids. Scichilone believed that they did very well in their roles, "we had three sophomores that played key roles, which was unusual." The senior players showed much leadership and those who didn't play as much took on different roles, Scichilone added. Seasonal highlights for many players came by beating Rockport 19-17 and Ronca/Ii 14- 7. "Beating Rockport was important because it was our Homecoming game," split end Rich Swank said, but beating Ronca/Ii was even more special because, "it was the first time we beat them in four years," added senior running back Jim Romano. recipient of the Knute Rockne Award. Although their recor d did not show how successful the season was, the success they did have was due to the fact that the players were not selfish when it came to playing in the games and they worked as a team not as individuals.

" The team turned in great performances oil season. They worked well together os U;ing their strength the young squad ha ils another victory. o team. Mott Smith commented, "/ feel the 1990-91 football season was o good learning experience for everyone, we might not hove won every game but everyone that ployed, played their hardest and never gave up. " Positive attitudes and supporting each other helped to build a successful team. Practice, practice, practice. Something most players dread, but if success is desired then it is something that must be overcome. Dove Poole added, ' 'practices consisted mostly of technique drills and working on plays, during the summer twice-a-day Monday through Saturday, then every day ofter school. " They also hod gained experience with the Varsity players. " We mostly practiced with Var. sit. I think we learned a lot and it will help us in the future," commented sophom ore Mott Smith.

Although small in numbers, the freshman football team showed doubting fans that they could come out ahead by overcoming teams like Glenwood and having five victories under their belts. by Jenny McGinn "Our team was smaller because a Jot of freshmen went out for cross country instead, " Mark Willms explained. The freshman team for the 1990 proved themselves worthy of respect with a 5-1- 1 record. Each year a new group of fresh-faced gridders join the ranks of the varsity and j. v. teams. These young players have had little or no experience in playing football other than in eighth grade. U p and coming freshman gridder Brad Krohn shows off his strong defensive skills in a takedown. As these men found more responsibilites and activities available to them, fewer men tried out for freshman football. Tony Mauer, who was very proud of the season stated, "our best gain was against Glenwood." Improving "in team unity," throughout the season helped the young Falcons, according to sophomore Dave Poole, who came down from the junior varsity level to assist the freshman. Due to the small turnout of freshmen, a few of the sophomore junior-varsity players were asked to help. This gave the freshmen an opportunity to experience more challenging play, which helped them "improve offensively," Jeff Davis stated. One of the benefits of having a small team is that it gave every member of the team the chance to gain experience. Despite such negative factors as small numbers and lack of experience, these few men had a very impressive season. Tony Mauer makes a strong attempt at holding back a P lattsmouth player on his way to the goal line. This kind of defense led the Falcons to a 5-1-1 record.

With the young competitors bock, the upcoming season looked very positive, and the future looked bright with many state qualifiers returning .. by Stephanie Klement "Hot, hot, hot and giving it all they've got" is how the cross country season started out for St. Albert. Although the temperature was in the high ninties, the competetors gave 100% in their practices and meets. The opening for the sport started towards the end of the summer, a few weeks before school began. The cross country team practiced in the morning, usually during the cooler time of day, to train for their season. Training consisted of long distance running of four to five miles including hills and sprints. ''The St. Albert boys display thier winning attitude despite the drizzlying cold weather at State in Ames. practices were hard and hot, but if you have a positive outlook and attitude it all pays off," stated freshman state qualifier and second team runner Jill Konz. "Closeness" was a word often synonomous with the cross country team, which helped the morale and their turn out of the season. Junior and state qualifier Molly Malone added, "cross country is a Jot of fun with all the hard work attached. We are like a family because we are around one another constantly. " The girls team went undefeated in season meets with top runner Carolyn Gorman leading the pack. At the district meet both the boys and girls teams finished second to first finisher Gilbert. The second place finishes gave the teams a chance for the state title, the second year in a row for both teams. Both teams also fin ished first at conference for the second year. The team voted sophomore Carolyn Gorman and sophomore Corey Stock as the MVP's of the year while Andy Murray was nominated for best form.

Weather conditions were rough, with blustering cold wind and sleet raining down, yet instead of that holding them bock, it gave them on extra incentive to push harder. End results were promising, with the Sointes placing 4th as a team, and the Falcons placing eighth.

There were a few obstacles to overcome when striving for state. According to sophomore Carolyn Gorman, ditricts, and specifically the team from Gilbert were tough, "We were in a tough district. " Both teams showed that they could compete with the best when they hod strong showings at distrits both as a team and individually. For sophomore Corey Stock, it was mental attitude, "/ hod to keep telling myself that I could go farther and farther." Mental attitude was a Jorge port of the success that both cross country teams sow this year. Competing with a young team was looked upon positively, and not at oil negatively. It actually gave both cross country teams on extra edge. When looking towards the future, there may be great things lying ahead for both the Sointes and the Falcons.

The 1990-91 wrestling season turned out to be very successful in the eyes of many wrestlers as more duals were won than ever before as Jerry Schmitz and Tim Evers mode it to districts. By Pam Lookabill The 1990-91 wrestling season was considered a successful season by many people as many team and personal goals were set at the beginning of the season. According to five-year St. Albert wrestling coach Loren Lintner, "one of our team goals was to make the state academic team and we made it with a 3.1 grade point average." Another team goal was to "win more than two duals and we won three. " But on a more individual level were J unior and veteran wrestler Tim Evers struggles with his opponent in hopes of a reversal. personal goals. "My goals were not to be pinned, win conference, sectionals and districts," stated junior wrestler Tim Evers. Junior Jerry Schmitz, recipient of the Ken Petersen award, also "wanted to go to districts and have 25 wins. " On the other hand, sophomore Chuck Jones just wanted to "come out with a couple of medals and to improve m y overall wrestling as compared to last year." The wrestlers also had to learn to keep themselves composed during the matches in order to think straight and not make any mental mistakes. What they learned and used in wrestling, they also used in daily life. "I learned selfdiscipline and self-control which I use outside o f wrestling," stated Jones. Evers also learned that "throwing a fit only made matters worst and I needed to stay calm and patient. Achieving many of the season goals, the wrestlers found success came in more ways than just winning meets. 5C1phomore Scott Willms takes the top advantage over his opponent in hopes of pinning him and adding six onto the scoreboard, leading his team onto victory.

Finding the first two opponents tough, the Saintes lost to AL and Blair yet came back to win three. The Saintes underwent a major loss this season, with only one senior returning for play, Kari Hanafan, leaving the depth of the team in youth. This will, however, leave the Saintes sitting secure for nex t season, with youth and experience on their side. The Saintes were very dedicated , many of the girls would spend their Sunda y evenings at open gym and practiced on their own. "/didn't attend open gym because I decided at the last minute to go out for basketball," stated Lori Hughes, however, center Jeanine Masker added "/ didn 't practice on m y own a lot but I do shoot baskets quite a bit on m y own. Also, attending basketball camp last summer an plan to again this summer." Masker also added she plans to attend open gym at Tri-Center and S.A. when she can. Part of the winning attitude for the team came between the players, "Of course there is competitiveness on the court, but not as much as there should be since we didn't have that many girls go out," added Lori Hughes. In addition, the team goals helped the Saintes. "Our goals were to work hard, have a good record and be a team," added Hughes.

Consisting of mostly freshman with a few sophomores, the JV team worked hard throughout the season and saw a lot of the results they wanted. They set high goals for themselves and thier team and by the end of the season they were very pleased with the results. As Freshman Amy Davis stated, "/ thought his year went very well, we started out strong, beating A .L. , and sta y ed strong throughot the season."

By Robi Thomas As the new year approached, many students were fired up for the boys basketball season to begin as signs were bei~g made by the cheerleaders, pep r~ll1es were being organized, and practices had begun for the team. All were anxious when the Falcons stepped on the court for their first home game, which was against the Red Oak Tigers. The team had met them fast year for the last game of the season, after the Falcons lost to them in districts, but this time the Falcons proved to be victorious. The team then went on to beat J osh Brocker looks for on open player during the Red Oak game ployed at St. Albert. Glenwood, but fell to cross town rival T. }. Promising to be a winning one, the season record ended 16-5. "/ think the season went real well. We did better than most people thought we would and it makes you feel good inside after accomplishing your goals," stated sophomore Jamie Hughes. The teams' main goals for the year were to go to State, be District Champs, win the Conference Tournment and be the champs, the best in the town. Evidence showed that Falcon defense proved to be the winning key, opening the door to victory as their goal was to keep the opponents score to 52 points a game without being overpowered by their offense skills. "You may win few games with offense but most of the time defense wins you more games," stated Coach W ettengel. As the season came to an end, all were anx ious for Districts and State qualifers as the Falcons made it to third round districts before losing to Clarinda. As for next year although there are hard shoes to be filled, "I'm not afraid or hesitant, it will be an exciting team to watch " said We ttenge/.

These team members were also assisted on the court by some players who suited up for varsity as well. Although Matt Smith looks like he 's perfecting the latest dance step, he was really making his teammembers know that he's open for a pass. Growing from the beginning and finishing up with style the joyvee basketball players showed they hod what it tokes to become winners. By Michelle McClellan Falcon Basketball has been known for years for the depth of its bench. This year was certainly no exception as many of the junior varsity players were called upon to assist during varsity playing time. In order to be able to affectively perform with the varsity cagers those j. v. called upon to fulfill this task had to practice twice as long with both the jayvee and the varsity. "ft was kind of hard practicing for that long, but it really helped me when I got to play during the varsity games," stated junior Andy Vanfossan. And help it did. As injuries and sickness hit the varsity members the jayvee cagers stepped up the intensity and came through in style. In fact, when several of the players were out some of the jayvee starters ended up being the six th or seventh man off the bench. Not only did this playing time really help out the varsity in clutch situations, but it also insured the future of St. Albert basketball. "By getting some varsity playing time, I feel I will be much more ready nex t season to be a dependable varsity player, " felt sophomore Brendan Ryan. But the best part of having these players was that the j. v. really gained some strength from e xperience and went on to have quite an impressive winning record. This new found expertise was not only evident on the court but in the crowd support as well. "/ used to just come in time for the varsity contest but the j. v. was playing so well that it was fun to come and cheer them on as well," recalled veteran fan, senior Tim Howard. This excitement is sure to continue into the future. Ju n i o r Andy Va n f ossan puts up a j ump shot over his opponent as Brendan Ryan w aits anxiously for the re bound.

Determined to find a way to the ball both Chris Eckrich and Matt Clayton make their defense count against a tough team. "they had the will to win, always thought they were a better team." Toking o time out to gather their thoughts, teommembers Jeff Harrington, Eric Fischer, Andy Murray, Matt Clayton, Chad Smith, Tom Hrmodka, Ryan Shea, Jason Epperson, Chris Eckrich and Cooch Chris Hughes pion their next strategy. Talent was dominant on the young Falcon team, with o positive attitude and quickness to odd to the team. Confident in every player, new freshmen basketball coach Chris Hughes carried out every goal he had in mind stepping into the position. With a 12-3 record, the young Falcons accomplished many goals this year. Probably the most important was to beat Millard South. a goal never before accomplished from a Saint Albert team. "The boys always had the will to win, always thought they were a better team than the opponents, they psyched the competition out," stated Hughes. One main factor for this confidence was the Trying for two points, Ryan Shea concentrates on form while teammates look on. depth of the bench. Hughes added, "/ could go deep on the bench if I needed to and it wouldn't affect the play of the team." Tony Mauer added, ''That was a great game, in the third quarter we wnt on a run and the score was 26-3; that was the best!" A main factor for this could be attributed to team leader Tony Mauer, who as Hughes recalls, "can lead in scores and rebounds at any time. " Hughes also felt two additional team leaders were Jason Epperson and Ryan Shea, but felt that Mauer, "got a bad rap out on the court, but he makes things happen any time he's out there. " Unfortunately, the Falcons could not fulfill the team goal of being undefeated, yet were satisfied with their wins over tough schools. Competition varied throughout the season, but the toughest competition for the youth ful Falcons came from Creighton Prep. ''They're a very dominating club; they have tough defense, great offense and they could probably start on any Varsity club in the Metro," Hughes added. "Prep has a lot of balanced scoring," added Mauer. :F ~@ U' '\'\ ~ i t h W heighth as o n a dvantage, Frank Roane attempts a tbree p o inte r during the first game of the season.

By Trisha Davis It was a long and warm day, spring was in the air and the tracksters began their first day of practice, hardwork and determination and with the right attitude the boys track team goal was well with in reach. "/ would really like to win state in either the 2 mile, mile, or the 8<.XJ, personally, but for the team it would be nice for us all to place good at state," stated Phil Hasenkamp, who has proved to the team that not only skill, but hardwork and practice are benefits in the end. This year the track team benefitted by new long distance runners, being able to dominate more now in the long distance area. A promising future certainly is ahead of the boy's track team.Coach Mehsling replied, "so far the season has gone pretty good, there has been a lot o f success, and a lot of improvements since last year. There is a nice balance between sprints and distance runners. Not to mention the continued traditon of good sprint relays, new strength brought in with distant events." Boy's track has always played an imJ im Romano, Kelly O 'Connor, and Chris Gard mentally prepare for the next event. pressive role at St. Albert, and are all hoping to go to State, Kevin Ryan stated that he "would love to go to State, as well as the rest of the team, " Coach Mehsling added that he would "like to qualify in as many things as possible at State, and to win as many metals as possible at the meets also. " The long standing tradition of excellence at St. Albert is evident through the track program and will be just as evident in the years to come.

By Terri Petratis and Nicole Rav/in Finding themselves back at the top, the Saintes track team began the season by setting records at the Lewis Central Invitational and ended the season sending several qualifiers to State. Sophomore Molly Malone edged the team closer to victory each meet as she was ranked number one in Iowa for the Open 800, while fellow teammate Patty Stephens challenged her competitors in the Long Jump. Following close behind in team leadership was veteran Kari Hanafan, whose quiet leadership help propel the Saintes towards becoming a unified team. One of the positive motivators for the Saintes was found in youth. With only one senior and five juniors, the Saintes had to rely on youth to pick up where the State qualifying 1990 team left off. This meant placing freshmen in spots normally held by veterans. Finding added pressure in the District meet, several relays and individuals qualified for State, however a devastating blow was issued as the Sprint Medley team as the baton was knocked P reparing themselves for State, Michelle Konz and Nicole Rav/in run the first and second leg of the 4 X 800 in winning time at the A.L.

Malone however, did qualify along wih Nikki Rav/in, Val Graeve and Michelle Konz in the 4 x 800 while Patti Stephens qualified in the long jump and the distance medley wih teammates Carrie McGruder, Nikki Rav/in and Val Graeve. Rounding o ff the State qualifiers was the 4 x 400 with Malone, Petratis, Konz and Hughes while adding to the individuals, Jill Konz raced in the 3axJ meter run.

Although the experience ranges from senior to freshmen the girls golf team come together to perform well. Starting anew, and moving on from eagles and bogies to par and birdies always hoping for that illusive hole-in-one this years girls golf team went found each meet challenging. By Michelle McClellan Golf at Saint Albert, or anywhere for that matter, is often thought of as a sport for the lazy participants don't run up and down a court or field, don't physically attack competitors, and don 't have to injure themselves to gain respect from fellow players. It is, however, a game of precision and accuracy, needing the utmost poise and concentration in every phase of the contest. Jn most other sports, not only do the players have other team members that they can pass off to, but the task they have to perform is a bit more broad than getting a tiny ball into a very small hole about 150 to 100 yards away. This year the team was filled with younger students and only one senior, Llori Co/chin, was on hand to help lead the team. This was Co/chin 's fourth year playing golf and her experience showed. One of the most difficult challenges for her was being the Jone leader. "It was kind of hard not to have anyone out of my class with me on the team, but it also made it a Jot easier for me to get to know the younger members of the J enny Hotz combines a powerful swing and complete concentration to drive her boll nearer the w hole. team," stated Llori Co/chin. One positive aspect of having a team with as much youth as this years team was that the future looks extremely bright. Although the new underclassmen spend part of the season just trying to get into the "swing" of things, by the end of spring observer's could tell girls golf is going to be around for a long time. Not only will the current players still be around for several more years, but it makes it less intimidating for new people to join.

By Lori Fox Clubs in a case hanging off their backs was a familiar feeling for many of the St. Alberts golfers. The St. Albert boys golfers had a successful season this year according to Junior Andy Vanfossan, "We finished fourth again at the T.J.-A.L. Invite but we got third at the Audubon Invitational which we finished last at the year before. We finished second at Conference missing first by two strokes. We were disappointed though getting third at City and not going to Districts, beeTaking a practice swing before his tum I Shone Nielsen perfects his swing. vause we had our sights set on State but we fell short by forty strokes." The season was full of excitement, laughs, and some good golf. As Junior Shane Nielsen remembers, ''The funniest thing that happened was when I was playing this kid named Newell who wore an umbrella hat, supposedly ate robins, chased squirrels, and thought he was a golfing God!" There are no golfing Gods on our team according to Andy Vanfossan, "Well we really didn't have an outstanding golfer we were all the same. Everyone except me won a place in a meet so I guess we were the same. Our attitude was like it would be if you put Sly, Noon, Schnitker, Sautter, and Iii Lar all together, along with one beloved coach Tom Heithoff," commented Junior Andy Van fossan. This season was better than the years past and the record shows it. ''The outcome is the most successful season we've had in a few years, we overall played really well as a team. I believe we shocked a few people by our record," Junior Shane Nielsen added. The h a rd worki ng g olfe rs toke 0 res twhile the y ta lk ove r how they did.

"There is talent and o lot of fun on the field, Jamie Hughes keeps everyone on their toes," stated Shawn Shea. Compared to last year the team went on o winning streak finishing the year 7-6. Setting o goo/ to become City Champs and have o winning record, Jason Wanning added "if takes years of practice, you have to have o lot of speed and be , willing to do your best in each and every game. " Jeremy Kroll agreed, adding, "I've been playing sice I was five and I om addicted to the sport." Do their best they did as the team improved their one win record from the 1990 season to seven wins this season. To enthuse the players, coach Father Dud Grant developed player of the week awards. "Dud applies your positions with your ability," stated Jeremy Kroll, adding that "in soccer you rely very much on other teammates to back you up or help you when scoring, each and every position is essential and p la ys o very important role. " Using this strategy throughout the season, the Falcons beat A.l. in the last home game to claim victory and city champions. " Our goal was to be city champs and a lso to have o winning record, it took o lot of work but all of us were willing to put in the extra w ork so we could accomplish our goals," stated Wanning.

By Lori Fox Victory is a well known word many girls from the St. Albert soccer team are used to. The girls soccer season was full of hard games. The climax of the season was according to senior Anita Jabro, "winning the Challenge Cup game against Lewis Central (4-29). It was the game we really wanted, and we worked hard and got it. " Working hard is exactly what the Saintes soccer team did. "Soccer is a very competitive sport and you have to be very aggressive, " Tina O'Brien added. One individual who stood out in the eyes of Junior Sara Kinart was "Lori Hughes, she always had a positive attitude. She pushed everyone and gave everyone a chance. " But all of the girls on the Saints soccer team played hard all year and that's exactly what they did this season. "We showed a lot of improvement from last year, it showed us how great a season we could possibly have in the 90-91 season," Sara Kinart added. Most of the players enjoy it so much because "the people make it fun and our coaches are laid back, so we can enjoy ourselves and concentrate on how we play the game and not just winning," according to senior Anita Jabro. "Being only one game away from city champs and only one game away from a perfect record made us feel pretty proud," Stated junior Sara Kinart. The Saintes were winners in other categories such as improving their skills, having fun, and leaving the Saintes with high hopes of an even better season next year.

Great friends and memories were mode, which would lost long ofter the season was over and the racquets put away. By Janna Hicks Changes came about within the tennis team with a new coach and a new perspective. Coach Vince Rew took over with vengence, hoping to make tennis respected as a Varsity sport at St. Albert. Sophomore Chad Arnold thought it was a positive change, "/think it was helpful. I felt the tennis program needed a change of pace." Shawn Kenney added, "Vinnie taught us a lot of new things, and he kept it fun, even though we wanted to win badly." Improvement was evident throughout the season, with overall game and form changing for the good. All of this improvement was evident, especially to Coach Rew, "I've been seeing improvement from the beginning." Many players set goals to improve themselves. "/set a goal of trying to win as many matches as I possibly could. I really didn't win as many as I wanted to," stated Shawn Kenney. Mike Wiegman agreed, adding, "We progressed throughout the season .. . the highlight of the season was when Pete and 1 defeated Halsted and Fox at the Atlantic Tournament." One goal for Justin Pekny was to win the City Tournament which he eventually won in the number three seed. Many memories will last from this tennis season, some good and some bad. Good memories outweigh the bad, with frequen t laugh attacks and coughed up food. Pete Thompson summed it up best by saying, "With Mr. Rew, or 'Vinnie ' as we so affectionately call him, not only did we have a new and different coach, we had a new personality as a team. We are just one big happy fa m ily with Vince, or maybe I should say 'dad' at the helm." Ju stin Pe k ny con centra te d on his serve, a se r ve w hich helpe d him win many of his dua l matches.

Dy Jenny McGinn Having big shoes to fill as for as the top Varsity seats, the 1991 Saintes tennis team had a lot of hard work ahead of them, but with a new coach and philosophy, it wasn 't hard at all. Vince Rew, a 1986 graduate of St. Albert, took over the position of head coach and received rave reviews from his players. Juniors Janna Hicks and Sarah Hobbins agreed that having a younger coach did have its benefits. "He jokes around more and he's a lot of fun," Hobbins stated. "He can come down to our level easier than an older coach would," Hicks added. Rew added a new concept to the practices that many people hadn't associated with tennis: conditioning. Although this resulted in a few moans and groans, it did prove to be effective. Tennis is noto totally physical sport: about fifty percent of it consists of confidence, however being physically prepared con help in boosting confidence. Melissa Schmida, top-seeded varsity player, said the highlight of the season is always " the city meet, because w e ployed against people we know so it mode us try harder. " This match w as very crucial to all of the players as they played against other schools in Council 8/uffs, and it was a tournament not j ust a m atch, w hich means Jong hours in the sun and tough competition. Hopefully, the Sointes w ill continue to improve in the y ears ahead: so for they hove a good start. With such a young team (there were no seniors out) they hove plenty of time to concentrate on e very aspect.

With only three returning seniors, the Varsity Falcon Baseball team finds themselves thrust into a long, hot season and serious goals on their minds. Having to face such opponents as Clarinda, Glenwood and Lewis Central, the Varsity Falcons began their Jong summer against Des Moines East, losing 11-2 yet bounced right back to beat Granville-Spaulding 9-0. With the season extending long into July, the Falcons had a roster which included 36 games, the toughest of them coming from such strong teams as Clarinda and Glenwood. ''They have a strong baseball program and their pitchers are very good, but we have great bats and a strong defense," stated catcher Jeremy Kroll. Coach Ken Schreiber agreed adding that within the Class 2A the toughest competition would come from both schools but the team also "needs to defeat City competitor Lewis Central. " Only three seniors returned for play, Matt Noon, Matt Way and Bryan Holder and teammate Jeremy Kroll felt that made them "good leaders. They keep the team together and make sure we have good behavior and most importantly they have a serious attitude about the season." A serious attitude will be needed to drive the Falcons towards Speed often is a state of mind, as Rich Swank realizes ofter being thrown out at first bast in the season opener against Des Moines East. their team goal of "not getting beat by city rivals, have a winning record (with losses in the single digits) and, of course," Kroll adds, "make a trip to Districts and State." Having a strong pitching team (Noon and Wa y) helped the Falcons push themselves to meet those goals, yet as Schreiber added, "our weakness is our hitting. ,, This weakness, unfortunately, ate the Falcons game plans in the beginning o f the season as their first three games ended with a 1-2 record, losing to both Des Moines East and Clarinda.

Dy Stephanie Klement School ended in May and most students looked forward to going home, relaxing and waiting for the summer fun to begin, but for those in softball the summer opened up with morning practices. Softball is a demanding, yet enjoyable sport.Having games as many as three times a week and often playing long Saturday tournaments held in various places, the girls worked hard in the driving heat. Many numbers and a wide range of ages were involved in the sport. With only two seniors Kari Hanafan and Diane Fisher, the Varsity team found its strength in youth. Consisting predominately of eighth graders, the junior varsity also relied on youth for their victories. "ft will be a lot better this year, we won 't have to play both junior varsity and varsity games," stated junior Molly Malone. Starting pitcher this year was eighth grader Kori Nielsen, who filled the shoes of graduating seniors, while the infield was dominated by juniors and seniors. Leadership and dedication is found on every team. Cooch Lintner reaffirmed this, adding ''/rely on team leaders to be junior Molly Molone and Jeanine Masker and senior Kari Hanafan.

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

Whether students were dressed as their favorite superhero or a terrifying monster, they were full of spirit and ready for the week's festivities. It all began on a rainy Thursday night, September 23. There was a twist to this year's pep rally as it was held inside the old gym instead of the football field which added warmth and closeness to the heart of the night. The rally ended when Megan Ryan and Tony Alf ers were selected royalty. "I was very surprised and honored being selected king," stated Tony Alters, "just being on court was more of a priviledge for me than a competition." Friday night brought more excitement for the spirited Falcons as they crushed Boystown, 33- 20. Even though the temperatures were in the thirties, many devoted fans showed their spirit 1989 Court: A. by attending the game, some wrapped in blankets and some in sweatshirts.

Although relaxing is one of the main goals of the students they still find time to attend school functions, date, go out with friends and attend parties. In recent years, you find most students going out with a group of friends rather than dating. But for some students such as Amy Lookabill and Jim Romano maintaining a relationship is a high priori among their high school activities. As Amy es, "At first you just have the attitude, if it I 1t lasts, if not I will live." Junior Jim Roman so adds, "In high school the desire for a r 1onsh'p i great the support and encoura e t of each others' activities is also of po ta ce to me.

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

" What if I forget my counts?" somehow enter into the pommers' minds. Yet somehow they've always managed to calm down and get pumped-up for their performance.

Unlike other activities there are no "stars" on the porn pon squad. The main emphasis on the squad is unity, as they work towards a common goal. The importance of unity was best described by Marsha Heenan, "We need to work together so we can make the performance it's best, and squad unity needs to be at its peak. '' There are many reasons why squad unity is so important. The closer a squad becomes, the easier it is to reach their goals.

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

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

Although the freshman and junior varsity teams were different in numbers and actual victories, both the teams still were equal in team spirit and togetherness. The freshman volleyball team consisted of only six team players, just enough to fill the floor when. the game was to begin. Due to low numbers the girls had to play every game to the very last point. They had no choice to be taken out at a stressful moment, they had to overcome themselves and get back into the game.

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

The Falcons endured the season with a squad consisting of mostly sophomores, but despite the youth, they still compiled a satisfying record of three wins and two losses .

They finished the season with one of the best records in freshmen Falcon history with four wins and two losses. The youn Falcons were never out of any game with a chance to win them all. All purpose player Emiliano Sanchez credited the work of Coach Lintner as a main thrust towards the team's success . " Coach did a great job of showing us the fun times in getting ready for 'big time' football."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Acting veteran Sheila Konz stated, "I enjoyed doing this production a lot because so many of the cast fit the character that .. 'iey portrayed. It was a blast to watch them all. inis was my first "real" comedy, and with such a caught the Big great cast and director, I couldn't have had a better time." This feeling was shared by the entire cast. When asked what his favorite cliara er throughout his acting career was, Mark Shea stated, "I liked playing the stage manager in "Our Town", but this one was probably my favorite." However, the cast wasn't the only ones who enjoyed the play. Many people, including members of the student body felt this was one of the best productions put on by the Drama department. For days after the production, students were talking about "The Foreigner" and their favorite parts of the play. Amy Lookabill Julie Smith .. The audience roa red as Mark Shea portrayed the foreigner and Warren Bertsch portrayed dim-witted Ella rd. The cast gives themse lves a hand after a night filled with laughs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

lonely, lost teens on a stage at the same time, each telling the story of their lives filled with dispair. These 17 teens were all Saint Albert students engaging in an expereince titled, "Runaways". The one-act presented many firsts for S.A. dramatics. The cast was invitea to Superstate after receiving one's and a Superior at State. The play also was a first for new drama instructor Jill Timmer. Freshman Becky Michels , Iggy, felt that the success of "Runaways" could be attributed to ''good directing, talent, and the timeliness of the subject." Not only did the one-act experience success but also the Speech team. Four members qualified for Superstate in the following categories: humorous acting, prose, dramatci acting and extemporaneous acting. Warren Bertsch, Carolyn Gorman, Sheila Konz, and Tina O'Brien competed against excellent competition. Meg Gronstal signs "Blowin' In The Wind" in "Runaways''. Meg was tutored by Janna Hicks. Mark Shea and Wayne Johnson share a laugh during a performance of "The Foreigner". Pau lette Chullino and Adam Jones find childhood fun as they play games. Wayne Johnson . Jay Killio n, Tina O'Brien. and Michelle McClellan try to find games to play during "Runaways " .
