When the pressure is on, I always try my hardest. J,J Jolie Schmoker " TASTE THIS," Shannon Snipes tells Annette Neff while Sheila Musgrove and Dennis Nielsen sample other goodies at the Christ mas Dance refreshment table. 2 Opening New rules, tight budgets turn pressured students, harried teachers into ... uietly encircling us, a monster of many faces sought to get the best of us. It attacked us in the form of increased expectations, frightening but exciting new technology, and ever tightening budgets. In a year of increased demands on students and teachers, we knew the monster was pressure, and we refused to let it get the best of us. Instead, we insisted that it glean the very best from us. New pressures on students included a rule that they must pass 5 Y2 classes to participate in extracurricular activities. Barring 606 students from a week of participation during first quarter, the rule caused enough students to examine and improve their study habits that only 406, or 4.6 percent, of all grades given for first quarter were F's. ''When I got my downslip in history, I went to the teacher to find out what I could do to improve my grade," said Doug Hoover '89. "He told me I needed to study harder and longer for tests, which I did, because I certainly didn't want to miss a week of swing choir again." Another form of pressure came not from a new rule, but from strict enforcement of an old one. If a student missed 15 days of a class, he was to be dropped from it with an F. Although at the end of the first semester, more than 40 students had dropped out of school, many others faced the pressure by forcing themselves to attend classes regularly. " I had to change after I almost drqpped out," said Todd Sanders '88. "I always used to put assignments off, but that eventually caught up with me.'' " THEY'RE ALMOST RIPE," Chr!s Henry tells Jeff Matter as the two rehearse their parts as fathers of two star-crossed lovers in The Fantasticks. Meanwhile, Jaime Weilage, playing the mute, holds up an imaginary wall between them. TO SIGNIFY THE START of Homecoming week, student council members Vicki Gilman, Jill Tilley, and Stacy Woods put together cards which say " The Wild Life - Homecoming 1986" to hang on the antennaes of all the cars in the parking lot on Monday. PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES, Homecoming court member Laurie Milford decorates her car for the car rally. Opening 3 ''The eligibility rule pressures people who used to sluff off. Now they have to work harder if they want to participate in the things they like. JJ Jeff Husmann A TUCK HERE AND A PIN THERE. Chorus members Teresa Jaussi and Kristi Pedersen make sure their hats are secured before the Nov. 6 production of Little Mary Sunshine. After practicing 30 hours, the cast received a standing ovation. LOADING MORE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, Sue Claussen and Dave Schuett load a truck with goods collected from the annual food drive. Homerooms collected 4422 items worth about $3537, an all time record. ~--- 'ettet~ continued "All the assignments I had missed started to snowball, and I was stuck in a huge mess where I thought the only solution was to drop out. Now I have to keep up, or else.'' One group of students actually went looking for pressure. In their quest for a more professional newspaper and an escape from the high cost and long wait of professional typesetting, the Echoes staff purchased new Macintosh computers on which they did their own typesetting. To complete the process, editors had to spend many nights past midnight at Central Office printing and formatting stories on the district's laser printer. "Although it's hours and hours of added work, we can make more last minute decisions about what to put in the paper now, just like they do in a professional newsroom,'' said Taryn Bixler '87, co-editor of the Echoes. "One issue, several stories ran long, and Todd (Fox '87, co-editor) and I decided that instead of cutting all of them, we would add two pages to the paper on a whim. I just dragged home a computer and we worked nonstop all weekend.'' Like never before, teachers faced budgetary restrictions in the form of reduced paper usage. At the end of the first quarter, English teachers discovered they had already printed more copies than their allotment for the entire year. Barred from the copy machine, they had to find new methods of testing and teaching. "One new thing I did because of the budget cuts was give an oral semester exam," said Mike Tripp, English instructor. "I don't think any of the kids had taken an oral semester test before· They really had to study and know the material to do well." With the monster attacking us from all directions, some might have thought we would break, but we refused to let that happen. We turned things around and made sure pressure pulled the best from us.

During summer's lazy days, getting life's best might have meant simply soaking up enough rays to get the most gorgeous tan around and working enough hours to save up for new clothes or a car. But once school started, giving our best to life meant filling our days with challenging courses, studying hard, and getting involved in extracurricular activities. ''Besides taking tough classes like calculus and honors English and working part time, I am involved in debate, newspaper, and National Honor Society,' ' said Heidi Hamilton '87. "My days are pretty full, but I don't really mind the pressure, because I think you have to give something to get something.'' Special events provided chances for us to give our best. Robert Tompkins '87, for example, told his Foreign Exchange Club he didn't like the usual construction paper and balloon background for Christmas Dance pictures, so he built and wallpapered a set made to look like someone's home, complete with a lighted window and tree. "Most people were concerned with what kind of music they wanted to hear, but that's not important," he said. "Twenty years from now, no one is going to remember whether the music was good, but they'll always have their pictures.'' Whether it was a Monday filled with classes and work or a Saturday taken up with decorating, competing, or practicing, those who wanted life's best gave their best. ll I know the administration and the custodians weren't too happy when the school was tee peed for Homecoming, but I think most people realize it has become a traditional way to -show spirit around here. •J Scott Flickinger ;#1 DREAMS OF A WHITE HOMECOMING came true when this scene greeted students Monday morning, Oct . 13, after about 20 student s had used 80 rolls of toilet paper to tee pee the school after midnight on Sunday in celebration of Homecoming week. Student Life Division 7 A sign of the times West/air T hey had gathered all the necessities for one of the most looked-forward-to days of the summer - at least 20 bucks, a comb, and a pair of shades - and now, the tires of their truck crunched over fresh gravel as juniors Jon Lieber, Kurt Hutchinson, and Paul Lane trailed cars entering Westfair. Crushing waves of heat and animal smells oppressed the boys as they got out of the truck, yet they had never consi dered staying home. Like thousands of others, they had migrated north up Highway 6 in the dead heat of July to ride rides, spend money on games, scope out members of the opposite sex , watch the demolition derby, and see the hot air balloons get swallowed up in the sunset. After taking quick peeks at 4-H displays, they sauntered down the main drag, snarfing cotton candy, hot dogs, and popcorn, admiring the long golden legs of female passersby, and occasionally submitting to the rousing carnies, who screamed, " Step right up! Take a chance!" Gobbled up by chances, food, rides, and girls, the boys' bucks slipped through their fingers, just as the summer was doing. MISS IT! A horrified Vicki Fuller prays for.a miss at the pom pon squad's dunking booth at Westfair. 8 Student Life Summer days give more than enough time to sleep, party, tan, and work, leaving us ... ittin' pretty M mmmmmmmm . Yawning and ~tretching as she rolled around rn her rumpled sheets, Sheila Eyberg '88, lazily cracked an eyelid, letting in some late morning sun. She took a half hour to persuade herself to get motivated and carry out the day's plans, especially when her bedroom w~s so comfortable and quiet. She stumbled to the bathroom in a daze, a condition most students caught on the first day of summer vacation. " We always had plans to go to the Westroads or to the pool, but most of the time, I ended up in the backyard or watching soaps," she said. Other ways students enjoyed their time off were going to see box office hits such as Ferris Buel/er's Day Off and To~ Gun boogying at the ever-popular Sprite Nit~ and the Depot, and of course, socializing at parties. But shopping, tann ing, and partying weren't the only things students did during the summer. Having fun required money, so they had to hold steady jobs. A poll of 205 students showed 130 spent time working, with 89 putting in HOT SUMMER NIGHTS.

Having a summer job meant being on a schedule, and most often, students felt like robots. The only times their batteries went dead and lights shut down was on a day off. "I worked construction, so rainy days were the best! Although I had to stay inside, I really appreciated the extra sleep!" said Rick Miller '89. The days dragged by. Of course the laid-back vacationers had fun , but there were times when working and lounging just weren 't enough to keep them going. The boredom sank in, and then ... Crash! The end hit like a load of bricks! Two weeks and school would start. Talk about schedules! Talk about robots! "Robot Registration" was an experience many students would never forget, as they trudged in single file lines from station to station, gathering such items as schedules, bus cards and parking stickers. And so the two-week countdown began. For most, it would include last minute shopping, haircuts, suntann ing, and lest we forget, snoozing. WHOA!

But at the same time, another part of us was ready to give up the lazy, sometimes boring summer afternoons for busy school days filled with pep assemblies, friends, and classroom pranks. The transition from quiet days to busy crazy days came quickly, and because first week temperatures didn't reach above 85 degrees for the first time in three years, there was no relief from school in the form of half days. Easing into the year was also less possible due to summertime registration. "Because we got our schedules in the summer, the first day was like any other, filled with homework and lectures," said Steffany Hutchens '88. In an attempt to give upperclassmen a student lounge, underclassmen faced a special adjustment because their study hall was moved to the dimly lighted and often noisy gym balcony. " Study hall is awful," said Heidi Neighbors '90. "It's to hard to concentrate with the screaming from P.E. classes, so all students. "I took full loads my sophomore and junior years, so I could have extra study halls for drama my senior year," said Chris Henry '87. "Now I have to take classes I don't need credits for." Though students were confronted with many changes the first month of school, one thing had remained the same - the anticipation of the first varsity football game. "When summer gets boring, I look forward to Friday night footbal l games," said Margee Nagel ' 89 . " Everybody goes, so the crowd is always loud and crazy."

On Oct. 8 we skipped school to converge on the grand opening of the Mall of the Bluffs. On Oct. 12 and 16, we covered every bush, tree, shrub, and fence on campus with 128 rolls of toilet paper to celebrate Homecoming our way. On Oct. 31 we dressed as Greek muses and ladies of the night and traipsed across town to visit haunted houses despite cold, rainy weather. "This month went really fast," said Christine Wagman '87. "We got involved in more activities and had a lot of fun ." After months of waiting for the new Mall of the Bluffs to open, Oct. 8 finally arrived, and band and choir members excused themselves from class to take part in the festivities . Complete with 15,000 balloons , a speech by Governor Terry Branstad, and Performances by Lynx musicians, the ceremony kept the crowd in suspense a few moments longer. Finally, the Marching Lynx led the crowd, including dozens of AWOL students, into the vast walkways of the mall. "It was really incredible," said Tanya Rocheleau '88. "We ran from store to store, trying to see everything, and we even got lost. It was so exciting. We felt AS A REMINDER to students to dress up for " Wildlife" day Tuesday, Todd Fox runs from c lass to class dressed as a Lynx to attract attention.

Throughout the halls, bits of colored confetti littered the floor. Everywhere, balloons floated from class to class bearing the mall's slogan "Talk of the Town." And talk we did. Second in size only to Westroads, the new mall generated more conversation than our weekend adventures, and opinions ranged from indifferent to enthusiastic. "I really like the mall," said Beth Ranney '88. "There are so many shops there, and it's a lot better than Midlands Mall. The theaters are nice, too, and I love to go to the pet store there." But others were not so impressed. "I'm disappointed in the mall," said Barb Leu '87. "I can't find any clothing I like made of cotton or wool, or of decent quality. I keep going there, hoping I'll find something I like, but everything is either acrylic, polyester, or poorly made." Yet no one disputed that the mall's location was absolutely perfect. Just three blocks away, it gave us the feeling we had our own personal mall, created especially for after-school rendezvous and evening excursions. (continued on page 14) AND THE RACE IS ON! With smiles as bright as their outfits, candidates for Homecoming queen 1986 pose in the courtyard. Pictured are Laurie Milford, Shelly Brooks, Anne Dryden, Andrea Darveaux , and Tracy Machmuller. L fo A sign of the times Spirit Y elling , school songs , and cheerleaders were the basics of pep rallies , but we spiced up the recipe with skits and crazy competitions. We watched athletes compete like never before as they dribbled basketballs to the middle of the gym, skateboarded the rest of the way across on their stomachs, and stumbled back as human " wheelbarrows. '' We laughed as they tricycled to the end of the gym and, without hands or utensils, ate ice cream out of a bowl, found the cherry at the bottom, and then rolled frozen oranges covered in baby oil, back with their faces. And no one could forget the first pep rally of the year when James Holly '87, dressed as a Lynx mascot, chased Jeff Matters '87, who pretended to be a Lewis Central Titan, until finally catching up with him and dumping him in a garbage can. " We did our best to think of fun things to do at the pep rallies that everyone would enjoy," said Lori Barritt '87, varsity cheerleader. CHOW TIME! Scott Sanders yells encouragement as Mike Moats attempts to eat ice c ream without using his hands, during a pep rally competiton. October 13 Continued ild, wild life No sooner had we initiated the mall than Homecoming was upon us. It started with dress-up days, on which we came to school as playboy bunnies, masked murderers, and emperors in togas. The theme for Homecoming, "Wildlife," authorized us to act our craziest, and at a car rally and dance on Thursday night, we did just that. "The dance at Bayliss Park was like our special night to show off," said Peggy Streepy '88. " Everyone was having fun dancing and acting crazy, and it didn't matter that people could see us because we were showing off our school spirit and pride." A losing season and cold, rainy weather couldn't prevent us from turning out to support our team against Omaha Central on Friday night. Huddled together on hard, unyielding bleachers, we cheered and chanted, and though we lost 56 to 6, our spirit dldn't diminish. During half-time we saw Tracy Machmuller '87, crowned Homecoming queen by her sister Wendy, last year's queen. As the crown passed from sister to sister, the crowd roared with approval. Finally, it came time for the dance on 14 Student Life Saturday night, and we entered the big gym, miracuously transformed by crepe paper and balloons into a dance hall. "Homecoming wasn't as good as it was two years ago, but it was a lot better than last year," said Linda Bottrell '87. "The music was really good. They played a variety of songs. It wasn't just the same old thing you hear on the radio all the time." With the end of October came Halloween, providing us with yet another opportunity to go wild and have fun. Some of us went trick-or-treating, while others went haunted house hunting. Still others helped build the haunted houses, and some just partied. " I helped build a maze and put up walls for nine rooms," said Loren Knauss '90, who worked on his church ' s haunted house. "It was hard work, but a lot of fun . The best part was scaring everyone." But whatever we did, all of us made the most of what seemed to be a brief month. October came and went before we knew it, but its memories of wild times and laughter would stay with us for years to come, safely locked away in the corners of our minds. WHAT'S GOING ON?

But few students shone as brightly as Holly Pechacek '88, and James Holly '87, in the school musical Little Mary Sunshine, Nov. 6-8. "I was so nervous and anxious for opening night," said Pechacek. "I had never been in a play before, and all of a sudden, I had the lead and this maximum number of lines. But after the play, all I could do was wait for swing choir performances in early December. November was so dead." While students waited for November to liven up, they decided to give a little of themselves. On Nov. 5 they lined up, lay down, and donated 65 pints of blood to the Red Cross. As November kicked off its second Week, students' hopes peaked as the girls' basketball team snatched a victory from Tee Jay at the Glenwood Jamboree, starting winter sports on a positive note. I I \ But hopes crashed as both boys' and girls' varsity teams found themselves on the losing end of the court in seven of their first ten games. "After such a depressing football season, both teams really wanted to get off to a good start," said Lisa Koenig '89. "It looked like we might have something to cheer about in the beginning of the season, but then we just couldn't seem to get it together." But a winning season wasn't the only thing that seemed destined to make a late arrival. First scheduled for distribution on Nov. 9, report cards were delayed two times before the Nov. 14 appearance, just 11 short days prior to the long awaited Thanksgiving vacation. That six-day break we had all waited for arrived right on time with turkey, dressing, and all the traditional goodies. Still the waiting didn't end. The smell of turkey grew faint; tinsel, lights, and stockings lit the way for December; and we were left waiting for Christmas Dance and Santa Clause.

"In October we went to football games," said Steff Hutchens '88. " Now we spend about $14 a month at the theater 'cause there's nothing else to do." November saw the opening of two hoLflicks - Crocodile Dundee, about a legendary Austrailian crocodile hunter, and Peggy Sue Got Married, the story of a woman who gets the chance to relive her senior year in high school. But Top Gun, which rocketed to the top of box office sales charts in early July, was still flying high with students. "I saw some of tne new movies, but Top Gun was still better," said Amelia Johnson '88. "With the music, Tom Cruise, and the flight scenes, I got caught up in the story." Movies were popular all year but as November rolled in, even more students stood in line for tickets, popcorn, and fun. "A CARTOON? NO WAY! What do you mean you want to see American Tall?''

After the last o.f their Thanksgiving turkeys were devoured, students returned to school, anxiously anticipating two weeks of daytime soaps, Christmas cookies, and the "bubbly" on midnight of the 31st. A December day didn 't pass without the low murmur of toes tapping and voices whispering during seventh hour as students awaited the afternoon bell, freeing them to pounce on malls near and far with wads of green stuffed in their mits.

I wished it could be the last day of school forever," said Kyle Everroad '90. Yet, enough Christmas spirit remained to lock students into a fierce contest between homerooms to help the needy in the Student Council Food Drive. Journalism, concert choir, and ac - counting students were top competitors in the drive, in which the homeroom donating the most food to the needy would win a pizza lunch on the student council. When students finished rummaging through cupboards, canvassing neighborhoods , and treking through local stores hunting for bargains, they had collected 4422 items worth $3537 .

At Clark's house and many others, a family Qethering and enormous meal were holiday traditions. But other families started some not-so-common traditions. Julie Mankin '89, and her two sisters have indulged in a Mexican fiesta of tacos every Christmas Eve since 1981 . "After years of traveling over Christmas, the first year we stayed at home my parents asked us what one single thing in the world we wanted for dinner, and we said tacos," Mankin said. Another family made a tradition out of the disposal of their Christmas tree. "Every year after the holidays, we take our tree out to the woods and burn it to smell the pine. I really missed having a real tree this year," said Kari Suden '89. WHACK WHERE? Mike Cooper positions his saw t o cut do wn his fami ly 's tree at the Bee Bee Town Tree Farm.

At the end of third quarter, the honor rnll showed that 15 percent of first quarter academicians had snoozed during one too many lectures and lost their place on the prestigious list.

During the long three-month stretch between Christmas and spring break, fantasies such as Smith's became more important than ever to preserve the sanity of teachers and students pressured with accelerated publication deadlines, vocal and band contests, forensics competitions, frenzied money making projects, . and Prom plans. Some students skipped class, some took leave for a whole day, and some stayed in class, but their minds focused on something else or some other place. " My boyfriend and I were fighting a lot, and I was too depressed to stay in school all day," said Sarah Wohlt '89. Members of Grace Presbyterian Youth Group took a longer break with school approval to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for an extended weekend of fresh air and beautiful mountain scenery. Although two members had collisions that tore ligaments, the trip provided a special getaway for all. " It felt good to be away from the monotony of school, make new friends from other youth groups, and spend time to myself. Even though I was on crutches after my wreck and couldn 't ski, I still was able to participate in the rest of the fun ," said Mishelle Allmon '89. For those who had to remain in Council Bluffs, the drudgery of March wore on, relieved just a little by the antics of one intramural basketball team. The Caucasian Invasion entertained us all, complete with cheerleaders, P.A. announcer, team coach, team dietitian, team owner, team mascot, equipment manager, and as of the final tournament, a team trophy. With all its craziness, the team took the game more seriously than most people realized. "Even though I know I have to be ready to play by 7: 15 a.m., I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep j ust thinking about the game in the morning," said Mike Boone '87. Boone wasn't the only student with the jitters, as many worried about raising third quarter grades, scoring well at music contests, getting accepted into NHS, and finding a date to Prom. But Mother Nature managed to relieve some of our tensions, at least temporarily, when she dumped 13 inches of snow on the metro area, giving us a vacation from work and school on the last two days of this hectic month.

"Since I work 25 hours a week in Jennie Edmunson's accounting department, finding time to go outside is difficult.

Continued • • rom-1s1ng When students weren't engrossed in making plans for Prom , they were looking forward to moments out of class , and April was a month of many. On April 7, the Air Force Band rocked the roof off the gym with its modern sound during an assembly. The very next day, students blew the roof off the auditorium with applause for the Abe Lynx Follies . Acts such as Chopsticks, The Pet Shop, The Movies, and Philipe's Diner had the audience rolling in the aisles, but the audience really started rocking when Zetta Brown '87 , Jeanette Mitchell '90, Vergarie Sanford '87, and Barbara Sandford '90, started groovin' to Janet Jackson 's number one hit, "Control." "We've always had a lot of dancers, but never quite like them!" said Chris Henry '87 . " They were so energetic and had sharp moves. The audience wasn 't watching the clock; they were moving with the music!" The rest of the month was spent clock watching as Prom night got closer and closer. When the big night finally arrived , students were busy making last minute preparations , right down to the finest detail. When all the boutonnieres were pinned , all the camera-happy moms satisfied with the millions of pictures taken , couples were off to that romantic dinner and a night to remember. After students walked through a forest of multi-colored balloons and followed a trail of musical notes and stardust glitter, they entered the ballroom through a paper-mache jukebox , ready to boogie to the tunes from All-American Music Shows. For those who didn't enjoy dancing, Prom night had much more to offer. Instead of spending 40 bucks for a motel room and I or drinks, couples could spend $2 for an evening in "Las Vegas " - AL style, and bet, bargain, win , and lose in carnival games, raffles, casinos , and auctions at the Post Prom Party. With the Booster Club raising $2271 and a benefit basketball game between the Caucasian Invasion and the Z-92 All Stars raising $1200, the Booster Club was able to spoil the 457 students who attended with grandiose prizes such as a compact disc player, a VCR , a Buick Regal, and various nights out on the town , all expenses paid. Rudy Scherzinger '87, stayed the entire length of Post Prom , collecting enough play money to spend at the auction, and he went home with a new VCR and dinner for two at Spaghetti Works. " I went with a bunch of my friends and spent most of the time in the casino or eating ," said Scherzinger. " We were having so much fun , I wish the night would have lasted forever! Heck, I was still in the dancing mood from Prom!" ENRAPTURED BY THE MOMENT during the theme song , " Stand By Me," Steve Brockman gets closer to date Jennifer Sherman. STEREO OR T. V. ?

April 31 A sign of the times Party! I n planning for their graduations, seniors had no doubt as to what they would be doing after the ceremony June 2. But when thought turned to open houses, confusion was a common emotion. " I couldn't really decide whether or not to have one," said Stephanie Hilty '87. "I finally did, but I really wanted to go to other people's open houses instead of hanging around at mine all day." Some seniors chose not to have an open house at all. " I didn't want the hassle of having to plan an open house, an I thought it would be boring," said Beth Miller '87. " So I decided not to have one." Whether they chose to have an open house or not, seniors knew what they were going to do graduation night. " I plan on having the wildest, wackiest party night I have ever had in my entire life," said Craig Stueve '87, and with this plan, most seniors concurred. OPEN FOR A CELEBRATION.

Twenty-three days left of school!" exclaimed Kelly Yost '87, as she dreamily marked the days off on her pocket calendar. The last weeks of school found many students counting the days, and for the Class of '87 , " senioritis" had struck. " It was hard to concentrate on school," said Jeff Matter '87. "I didn't want to do any of my homework." But while visions of summer threatened to catch many seniors with their heads in the clouds , activities of school 's final month and preparations for graduation kept their feet firmly on the ground . Pride Week, held May 11 through 16, brought "Pride in Iowa Beaches " day, and on Friday evening, students flocked to the track to participate in the student council-sponsored Hawaiian luau. Dressed in their brightest summer attire, students were in a festive spirit as they danced to live music, played sandvolleyball, and went from booth to booth trying for prizes. " I liked playing all the games at the booths," said Jay Butterbaugh '90. " I won six prizes at just one booth."

" Now, no one can take his head off." Finally, June 2 arrived, and seniors clad in caps and gowns marched two by two into the big gym. Tears fell as the class listened to swing choir sing "Maybe Someday, " and five seniors gave farewell speeches. Senior boys whistled and swayed from side to side when for the third time, the microphone went dead ; and laughter erupted when Jeff Hahn '87, with diploma in hand, turned a cartwheel. After the last senior accepted her diploma, all eyes turned to executive student council president Todd Fox, who gave the long-awaited signal. After turning their tassels to the right and tossing beer caps into the air, the Class of '87 marched out together one last time . For them, the countdown was over.

At State, boys' cross country made both individual and team accomplishments, as Paul Grafelman '89, placed sixty-third to pace the team to a fifteenth place finish. "We put pressure on ourselves so we could make it to State, which was our main goal," said Grafelman. Volleyball also had an outstanding season as the girls became the winningest team in AL history, making it to sub-State and setting individual records before getting stopped by third ranked Sioux City North. "We weren't expected to do well, but after a great season, we gained a lot of confidence," said Marsha Hoffman '88. "I was proud of the fact that I tied the school record for serving with a 98.8 percent, because when you serve, it's just you against the other team. " The swim team also sent four people to State. Michelle Hughes '88, placed tenth in the 200 free-style and ninth in the 500 free-style, while the 400 free-style relay team of Hughes, Jane Johnson '90, Stephany Schaben '89, and Terri Smock '90, placed twenty-fourth. " I thought it was great that I made it to State as a freshman," said Smock, " but now I feel pressured not only to make it to State again, but to do better." People under pressure, demanding the best from their bodies, also took both tennis teams to city championships, the wrestling team to a sixth place State finish, and boys' soccer to the Zenon Cup Semifinals.

Rolling out, Mike Moats looks for an open receiver as Steve Brockman prepares to b lock incoming defend e r s at the Homecoming game against Central. With youth, injuries, and lack of size, the Lynx tried, but couldn't escape ue "T his group right here realizes that anything can happen . It's a thrill some people can never feel. Every game, every play is for fun and for sayin' 'What the Hell. ' So go ahead and have a hell of a good game, guys!" The varsity team responded to that pep talk from Coach Bill Emsick with a roar of excitement before the Home - coming game against Central. But to an observer, talking about fun on every play may have seemed ridiculous . After all, the Lynx hadn't won since Tee Jay, and the outlook on beating Central, a Metro powerhouse, was bleak. And after four quarters of play, the outcome was a bleak 56-6 loss . "It was one of those games," said Joe Mass '87. " We'd either sink or swim, but we had fun doin ' it." But fun came only once in a while, as the team faced many problems - problems they couldn't overcome but learned to handle. Size was a problem from the start. Over half the teams the Lynx faced outsized them. Against South, for example, the average Lynx was three inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter. Besides, South had a running back who weighed 300 pounds. "It should have been a blowout," said Chris Pleake '89, of the 13-6 loss. "But the coaches helped us realize that size wasn't the most important factor. If you hit a person just right in the knees, they'll fall every time." The team also faced inexperience as it worked to replace 10 graduated seniors, including the quarterback, wide receiver, two cornerbacks, and several linemen, and had to replace most of them with juniors and sophomores. Yet, although the Lynx had fewer seniors go out for football than ever before, the underclassmen did a surprisingly good job. Mike Moats '89, for example, played quarterback and threw a pass for the only score in the Homecoming game. (continued on page 38) VARSITY AND JV FOOTBALL. FRONT ROW: Da· vid J ones, Andrea Poulos .

In addition to losses from injury, the Lynx lost players because of bad behavior. Seven players were kicked off the team because they were caught skipping practice for a beer party. "They slipped up on their second chance," said Mike Abel '87. "They were warned and knew what would happen." And just like the other problems, the team handled this one. In fact, the Lynx faced Central without five of their starters due to injury and bad behavior. But the varsity wasn't the only team plagued by problems. " The JV had a hard time getting things together," said Troy Scott '89. "One game, our defense would be bad, our offense good. The next game, Continued it would be the opposite." The JV team finished with a 1-6 record, and the JV B-team, made up of sophomores, finished with a 2-3 record . The freshman team suffered also, losing all of their games, finishing 0-8. "We had a hard time getting started in the first half of the game," said Chris Doner '90. "When we went into the lockerroom, the coaches would yell at us and tell us how bad we were. We would go on the field in the second half and do worse. But as the season progressed, the coaches began praising us for what we did right, and we improved." ALL RIGHT!

C onfidence under pressure, willingness to learn, and desire to work together - these ingredients transformed 10 girls expected to be mediocre into the winningest volleyball team in AL history. To no one's surprise, the team which lacked height and had never played together before sea-sawed between close wins and losses early on. But a turning point came at the Des Moines Invitational as the Lynx edged Tee Jay to win the title. "I don't think the smile fell off my face for four days," said Coach Mary Kyte. Only 48 hours later, the girls again showed their stuff as they faced the Jackettes at Tee Jay and trailed 7-14 in the deciding game. "We could have rolled over and played dead," said Julie Rhoades '88, "but for some ungodly reason, we knew we could come back . All we needed was confidence." The confidence rallied the girls to a 16-14 victory. Willingness to learn was important to this short team . Since the tallest player after 6'3" junior Kristi Anderson was only 5'10", the team had to learn to dig up more balls hit over short blockers . CONGRATS! After the Lewis Central sectional win, Julie Rhoades and Kristi Anderson share a hug as Jennie Tanous congratulates them. But practice and new techniques would not have succeeded without the team's desire to work together. " If someone got down, the team had to help get that player's confidence back," said Amy French '88. When Sectionals approached, the team had already won the Des Moines and Tee Jay Invitationals and finished third in Metro. Ranked 14th in Iowa, AL won close matches over Harlan, Tee Jay, and Lewis Central, with only third ranked Sioux City North standing in the way of a State berth . But winning would not be easy. The Lynx had to make a two-hour trip to Sioux City and play on North's court. "We upset some good teams this year," said Lisa Wilson ' 87, "but we knew North would not be easy to beat. " The sluggish Lynx dropped the first two games, a third game rally fell short, and North won the State berth . "Losing was indescribable, but we were proud of our achievements," said Wilson . Those achievements included team records for 27 wins and ace spikes, blocks, and sets . Individually, Anderson set a record of 447 ace spikes and 409 blocks with 185 aces, Dawn White, '88, had 577 ace sets , Wilson had 279 serves for points , and Marsha Hoffman served at 98.8 percent. v-J\n sum \ose sum VOLLEYBALL 27-8-7 AL OPP Sioux City E. 2 3 Sioux City W. 3 0 Roncalli 2 1 South 2 1 Tee Jay 3 2 Centr.al 2 0 Atlantic 3 0 Ralston 2 0 Millard N. 0 2 North 2 0 TOURNAMENTS Des Moines first Sioux City E. fourth Tee Jay first Metro third SECTIONALS Harlan 3 1 Tee Jay 3 0 Lewis Central 3 Sioux City N. 0 3 Volleyball 41 win sum lose sum CROSS COUNTRY BOYS 2·0 AL OPP Westside 19 44 Millard S. 20 36 GIRLS 0-2 Westside 35 19 Millard s. 37 18 INVITATIONALS BOYS AL second Lewis Central first Kuemper second Divisional first Harlan first Shenendoah second Mo.

Before he knew it, the gun went oft and he sprinted away, dodging puddles and sloshing in mud, on his way to an eighteenth place finish at Districts. It was a day Gratelman and his teammates had longed tor all season , for District results would determine whether the team would go on to State for the first time in fou·r years. Finally, the announcement came. With Grafelman's eighteenth place finish and juniors Bob Drummond's sixteenth place finish and Mark Wittland' s fifty-seventh place finish, the team captured a fourth place win and a State berth. " In going to State, we reached our main pre-season goal," said Grafelman, who was consistently rated in the top ten in the state by coaches . On the way to State, the boys managed to rack up a 4-0 dual record , championships from Lewis Central, Harlan, and divisional meets, and the honor of being rated second in southwest Iowa and tenth in Iowa. According to Coach Mick Freeman, who was voted Regional Coach of the Year, success came due to the increase in team participation from 15 last year to 26 and to the boys' ability to run in a tight pack. At Missouri Valley, for example, three of the five boys running finished within seconds of each other, moving other runners back and giving the team a second place win . "In addition to keeping other runners back, running in a pack helped us work harder because we wanted to beat each other to the finish line and get a higher placing, " said Wittland, who was also rated consistently in the top ten . The girls' team, on the other hand, suffered due to size. At Metro, tor example, seven of the nine girls ran varsity, leaving only two to run JV, thus giving the Lady Lynx an incomplete JV team. Injuries also hindered the team, with seniors Ann Kirlin and Amy Seaman out the entire season with knee problems. "Both their injuries hurt the team, " said Abby Wilmarth '89. "We knew we had to work ourselves harder to make up for their places." The team finished the year with a dual record of 2-4 and no invitational championships. OFF TO STATE!

Hopes had abounded for the Lynx as they trailed Prep by only seven points in the first half, but after the half, Prep outscored AL 33-16, and the Lynx shot a chilly 38 percent from the field . This game was but one example of how the varsity boys' basketball season went. With an 8-12 record, the Lynx endured a crushing defeat for every victory. A typical weekend occurred during the middle of the season when AL played two games against ranked teams.

"The key was our switch to a man-to-man defense and better rebounding in the second half." But weeks later, when the teams played Harlan in Districts, such winning strategies were nowhere to be found as the Lynx lost, 44-56. Basically, it was a season in which players found consolation in playing close games against top ranked teams. "In a couple of close games, we played well enough to lose by just a little," said Scott Nielsen '87 . "Millard North was ranked fifth in Nebraska and we lost by just one point in the final seconds.

The team also battled the mixing of sophomores and juniors, resulting in several different skill levels.

Unfortunately, the problem plagued Lady Lynx couldn't find a cure and ended the season with a 10- 11 record . The plague hit hardest against Northwest. Second team all-stater, Kristi Anderson '88, was out due to a sprained ankle; senior Lisa Wilson was benched due to a leg injury in the first two minutes of the game; and the team suffered from a severe case of the chills when no one player was able to get hot on the offensive end of the court. The fever continued until the buzzer sounded and the scoreboard showed a devastating 52-17 defeat. During the season, team members missed 54 quarters on account of sickness and injury. "It seemed like the same five people never practiced together at the same time because someone was hurt or sick," said Marsha Hoffman '88. "During games it showed when we made unnecessary turnovers because we weren't relaxed ." Despite their problems, the team generated some impressive statistics, setting new team records in varsity field goal percentage for a game, field goal percentage for the season, total rebounds in a game, and total blocked shots for the season. In addition, An - derson broke nine individual records . The junior varsity slipped by on top with a record of 9-8. "It seemed like everyone supported each other and stuck together really well this year," said Michelle Frick '89. "If we put our minds to it, we usually won, or at least had a close game." The freshmen also managed to come out on top with a record of 8-7. "The highlight of our season was when we played Saint Albert for the second time, " said Lori French '90.

N o one could fool Mother Nature, but by patiently waiting for wacky spring weather to improve, the tennis teams smashed their way to winning seasons. Spring showers delayed or postponed several matches and practices, but the effect on the boys' team was surprising. "Even though we missed so many practices," said Coach Mike Forbes, "the boys actually played better without them." A bleak outlook awaited the Lady Lynx until a new coach, Diane Anderson, was hired just a week before the season started to replace Cathy Crowl, who resigned. "We were worried we wouldn't have a coach at all," said Dawn White '88, "and we knew it would be hard getting used to a new coach because everyone liked Cathy Crowl so much. Fortunately, we got along great with Mrs. Anderson, who gave us her total support." Both teams posted winning dual records with the boys going 5-3 in the fall and 7-2 in the spring, and the girls finishing 6-4 against tough Metro competition. CONCENTRATION COUNTS as Christie Poe returns a shot against Westside. Poe won the # 6 singles at City. "I wasn't disappointed by our dual record because of our tough schedule," said Mrs. Anderson, "and I was very pleased by our City play."

The boys edged Saint Albert by three points to capture the championship behind singles winners Rob Thomas '87, at # 4 and Kevin Malick '89, at #6. They also tallied four second places and three third place finishes to claim the title. "I thought we might have played a little better and won by more," said Shawn Brooks '89, # 1 singles runner-up, "but we thought we'd win, and it was great when we did." The girls captured the city crown by a wider margin as Marsha Hoffman '88, and White sparked the 29-point win by taking the # 3 and #4 singles, and combining to capture the #2 doubles. Other winners included Cindy Voss '87, at # 1, Michelle Frick '89, at # 2, and Christie Poe '88, at # 6 singles. Lori French '90, was the runner-up in the # 5 singles. "My most memorable moment was our # 2 doubles win against Lewis Central," said White. " We won the match despite Marsha skinning both of her knees and being nailed in the face by a ball.

Like the boys, girls experienced a successful season , finishing with a 2-0 dual record and an invite championship. "Our season was one filled with success," said Coach Mike Batten. "In all our invites but one, we placed in the upUP AND OVER! Glen White jumps over a hugh hurdle during practice. AIRBORNE .

"At Red Oak, we didn't think we would beat Tee Jay, but we did by ten points. Before the meet, Batten got us really hyped up, which helped us to win, " said Barb Roth '90. Another success occurred when the freshman girls captured first place at Metro, Batten attributed the team's success to senior leadership. "This was my funnest year, " said Lisa Wilson '87. "The team was close. When we were sophomores, we were treated terrible and we didn't want to treat people like that."

Coach Warren Lee. "I think that made it more fun for the girls, and they found some success they missed out on last year." . \N\n u sum Members of the boys' team felt increasing pressure from the opposing side of the field as they moved from the 'B' division to the tougher 'A', while the girls felt increased competition from their own bench. With the addition of seven new players, the girls' team gained the needed substitutes it never had last year, but players felt the effects of those seven enthusiasts vying for playing time. "From the first day of practice, I knew we were gonna be pushed harder by ourselves as well as the coach," said Jolie Schmoker '87. "I introduced Rachel Stageman to soccer and suddenly, she and other new players were competing with the experienced girls for positions . But the competition taught us how to respect other players and work together to win ." And win they did, improving their last year's 3-5-2 record to a 7-3-2 finish .

Amelia Johnson , Shelly Leeper, and Shary Judkins celebrat e after Leeper' s shot tied the score 1- 1 at the AL-T J soccer night. The boys also made the best of change, coming out of the season with a winning record and a birth into the Zenon Cup Semifinals , where they fell 3-4 to Millard North in shoot-out action. "It's a hard way to lose, but we had a good game and much better season than expected," said Richard Streepy '89. "Being first in 'B' division is a lot different than playing in 'A' division. With more physical play and greater need for ball control, 'A' division is tougher." Proof of the toughness came time and time again as coaches had to go to the bench , replacing injured players with inexperienced players. On the boys' team, defenders Scott Kenkel '87 , Tony Gift '87, and Streepy, the goalie, all missed at least one game due to injuries . In addition to tougher play, soccer players had to adjust to a new strategy. "Coach Cunningham had a new theory of soccer," said Rob King '89. " He wanted everybody to be defensive instead of just the final four field players. It confused us at first, but as the season went on, we got used to it and made it work for us ." \ose SU\\\ SOCCER BOYS 8-5 AL OPP Holy Name 4 1 Central 4 0 Papillion 3 2 Millard S. 0 1 Millard N. 3 0 Westside 2 1 Roncalli 6 0 Prep 0 3 Bellevue W. 1 0 Burke 0 3 Tee Jay 2 Ralston 2 4 GIRLS 7-3-2 North 3 0 Millard S. 3 2 Lincoln 7 0 Bryan 2 1 Holy Name 0 3 St. Joseph 1 1 Duschene 0 1 Tee Jay 1 Northwest 4 0 Central 1 0 Ralston 0 6 St. Albert 5 0 Soccer 59 YOU SAY RED, I SAY WHITE.

Cheerleaders and porn pon girls needed such diversions to provide relief during a frustrating year. When administrators moved pep assembl ies from morning to seventh hour, cheerleaders had to fight empty bleachers and low spirit since many juniors and seniors on short day failed to show up. The administration's shortening of pep assemblies from a full period to 30 minutes and use of some time for recognition of non athletic awards also irritated the girls . " I felt cheated because we spent all that time organizing the pep assemblies, and when our time was cut, we had to improvise cheers," said Lisa Menuey '88.

" After practicing that early all summer, it just became part of our routine." Although cheerleaders didn't practice as much, they busied themselves dreaming up ways to enliven pep assemblies and embarrass students . They called students down to ride big wheels, compete at ice cream eating, and roll frozen oranges dumped in vinegar across the gym floor with their noses, all in front of the student body. "I rode a big wheel, and it was really embarrassing," said Continued Suzette Nunez ' 88, " but I thought it made the pep assemblies more exciting . We should have more like them." In addition to rooting at games and assemblies, cheerleaders cut, glued, and taped construction paper banners and blew up endless balloons to decorate players ' lockers.

N ikes and Converses tromped down the court. Overworked lungs gasped for air. Sweat gushed out of every pore. How could anyone have such energy before 7:15 a.m.? "I wanted to play basketball really bad, so it wasn't that big of a sacrifice for me," said Robbie Collins '88. From Feb. 25 to March 26, Collins was part of an intramural basketball program that helped students release their energies before settling down in the classroom . With intramural basketball and a myriad of other opportunities for non-varsity sports competition, students kept active and in shape. Sponsored by instructor Dave Brown, the intramural teams sported names like Allen's Animals, Caucasian Invasion, Dead Road Gophers, READY AND WAITING, Todd Johnson watches for Dave Tornabane's Hoopsters, and Thump. In the final game between the Invasion and Thump on March 26, the Invasion came out on top with some back-up help. Besides fans, the Invasion sported cheerleaders, a P.A. announcer, team coach, team manager, and equipment manager rooting from the sidelines. " The cheerleaders and other members of the Invasion were there for support, playing the theme song and getting crazy," said Traci Leeper '88. "I think it got the guys hyped for an exciting game." While the Invasion played for sheer fun, others played for the love of basketball. "I didn't think I was good enough to play for AL, so instead, I played intramural basketball," said Jerry Cundiff '88, of the Dead Road Gophers.

Falling quickly behind bowling in popularity were softball, soccer, freestyle wrestl ing, and AAU basketball. Students involved in these sports often put in an average of five hours every week, sometimes in addition to participating in school-sponsored sports.

To the chagrin of many coaches and players, this question echoed every time another athlete succumbed to an injury. Abraham Lincoln High School began to look more like Abraham Lincoln General Hospital as athletes from virtually every sport were sidelined with pains, strains, and sprains . According to Coach Bill Emsick, eight football players were forced to sit out from one game to the whole season with injuries ranging from sprained ankles to a broken collar bone. Five female basketball players suffered similar fates. As a whole, injured players missed 56 quarters, or the equivalent of 14 games. Coach Dave Brown was even forced to scrimmage with the team on one occasion because he lacked enough healthy players. "For the first time in seven years, I had to scrimmage with one of my teams," said Brown. "Since the same people who started one game didn't always start the next, it was really hard to establish continuity during practice." Cross country runners and wrestlers couldn't escape from injuries either. Dave Reed '87, stumbled down a steep trail and broke his collar bone. "After I fell, I was very confused, " said Reed. "I didn't know what happened, but when I reached up and felt a lump in my collar bone, I knew something wasn't right." Wrestler Kim Knauss '88, missed action with a sprained knee. Knauss' injury was a blow to the team , since he was a sophomore letter winner. " Knauss' injury forced us to replace him with a less experienced JV wrestler," said assistant coach Tomas Lara. It was ironic that AL athletes seemed to experience so many injuries, since the metro area as a whole experienced fewer injuries than in past years, according to Ron Hald, sports physical therapist at University of Nebraska Medical Center. " We haven't had quite as many as other seasons because of the rain, " said Hald. "The players didn 't have a sure footing when they were hit, so they just slid ." Emsick blamed football injuries on hard playing. " Our boys tried hard, played hard, and got more bumps and bruises," he said . '1-·---- WORDS OF COMFORT. After spraining her ankle in the Central game, Kristi Anderson is consoled by Reo Price. While teams were obviously affected, the personal lives of injured athletes were often forgotten . Many discovered that simple, everyday tasks suddenly became impossible because -of their temporary handicap. " During volleyba ll I was on crutches for a week because someone stepped on my foot and sprained my ankle ," said Kendra Cory '90. "It took me forever to get dressed. Someone even had to help me put my jeans on. " Basketball player Kristi Anderson '88, faced even more inconveniences after she sprained her ankle. Every day fo r three weeks she had to ice it, wrap it, ice it again , keep it elevated, and soak it in a whirlpool. " I hated being hurt, especially when everyone would ask what happened, said Anderson . "If my ankle was swollen I couldn 't practice. Worse , I had to go home after games to ice' it instead of going out with my friends ." As the season turned from basketball to track, persistent pain forced Anderson to have a bone scan and walk on crutches for a week to finally heal the injury. " I didn 't want to miss track, but I wanted my ankle to heal too ," said Anderson . " It was double jeopardy." Football player Brian Young '88, encountered un ique experiences because of his torn medial knee ligament s. " I was on crutches for eight weeks . I could wear nothing but sweats over my cast, and I didn 't drive the car at all," said Young . " Also, the crutch tips would get wet from the ra in . After the Tee Jay game, I went to Burger King, and my wet crutches slid right out from under me." But even after recovering from injuries , athletes looked confidently toward the next sport s season . One such athlete was Ned Greer '88, who broke his collar bon e in the Ralston football game. " Now I don 't have anything to be afraid of because I know what being hurt feels like ," Greer said, " so I'm just going to play as hard as I can next year." Some may have wondered why athletes accepted the ri sk of seriously hurting themselves, but to dedicated competitors, these hazards were only part of the game.

But we would remember this as the year we put pen to paper and wrote and wrote and wrote. " We've done several writing projects ," said Gretchen Johnson '88, " including a literary critique and lots of essays. All the practice has made it easier for me to organize my thoughts. " Teachers stressed writing because of a new city curricu - lum, which Victoria Holder, department lead teacher, called part of a national movement. " Colleges and businesses are turning to high schools and saying kids don't know how to express themselves on paper," said Mrs. Holder. "Whether they use a pen, typewriter, or computer, they must learn to get the point across to the reader." Teachers used both old and new techniques to sharpen students' writing skills. " I'm using journal writing three times a week," said instructor Mike Tripp. " I hope students will understand that writing is a way to communicate, not just an assignment. " Another new project was a writers ' workshop , in which students in instructor Christine " IMPOSSIBLE , ILLOGICAL, AND COMPLETELY ABSURD!" That' s the diagnosis given by psychologist Juliane Pippert while consulting her patient, played by Janelle Misner. The girls performed the skit for t heir sixth hour English class. Wahl 's classes critiqued each others' writing on Fridays . " It's a lot easier to talk to students about your work than to the teacher," said Paul Vandenburg '87. " This way , I got a chance to keep polishing my work before I gave it to Mrs. Wahl." Students weren 't the only ones going to class. On those inservice days when every student was out goofing off, English teachers could be found in the library taking the Iowa Writers ' Project.

Two hours later, the five editors were finished - copy for the next edition was set and ready to paste-up.

With the staff's adventure in " desk top publishing" came total control of its publication, including the ability to cover late breaking stories and make last minute changes. "One time, all the stories were running long. We had scheduled a 16-page paper, but we knew it was going to run over," said Todd Fox '87. "Instead of cutting stories, we decided to add pages. Taryn Bixler and I wrote a review at the last minute and redid the layouts, and the paper came out as 18 pages." In addition to allowing more up to date coverage, desk top publ ishing saved the staff $350 per issue, money that was used for more color and better paper. According to Linda Smoley, adviser, five independent edi- " I CAN'T CARRY THIS ALONE!" shouts Margee Nagel as Leanne Ellis and Melanie Judkins carry a box containing the just-printed Echoes, which they picked up at South Side Press. tors were most responsible for the success of the paper. " At the beginning of the year, we spent many nights at Central Office learning how to run the Macintoshes and the laser printer," said Barb Leu '87. "And once we did master it, we still had to make many trips because all the stories weren't done on time." In fact, the main problem editors faced was failure of staffers to meet deadlines. " It was very hard to force yourself to get done," said Mindy Brewer '88. "They said the story was due on the 10th, but you knew the paper didn't come out until the 30th." Although the staff had problems, it won many awards. Nationally, Brewer and Ann Kirlin '87, won Gold Keys, and Amy Fenner '88, and Taryn Bixler '87 earned Merit Certificates.

When the staff saw Smoley's puffy eyes peering out from a mascara blackened face, the chatter died. Smoley told the staff that 47 pages of the book got lost in the mail, and there was little chance of finding them, according to postal officials. Staffers sat in a stupor, their lips falling to the floor and eyes swelling with tears. " Why us?" asked assistant editor Melanie Lovstad '87. " What did we do to deserve this?" After a prayer was said and wet tissues picked up, the staff was faced with the decision to "throw something together," as their principal had suggested, or redo the pages exactly as mailed. After the decision was made to reproduce the original 47 pages, the staff set about the work of reprinting 100 pictures , redrawing 24 spreads, locating duplicates for 300 mug shots, redoing more than 30 art headlines, and copying page after page of type.

That night staffers watched themselves on the Omaha news, telling everyone their final product would be worth the extra effort. "Even though there were hours of frustrating work ahead of us," said Jill Tilley '88, "the publicity of the loss made us celebrities, sort of rebels for a cause." Staffers had rebelled all year against family, friends, and temptations to " do it tomorrow" in their determination to meet deadlines.

But the year wasn't all work and no play, as staffers were easily s idetracked on work nights. " Sometimes brainstorms for headlines turned into laugh sessions about Mrs. Smoley's fake nails and flaming red hair, or we'd be interrupted by the photogs singing in the darkroom," said Robb Traylor '89. Even during the first week of summer vacation when the staff continued working from 8 to 4 in 234, the joking around helped get the 47 pages done with a sense of comraderie instead of complaining. The only difference betw een th os e pages and the rest was the staff' s certain knowledge that they would be mailed UPS. " GET A LOAD OF THIS!"

While she waited for each lock of hair to curl, she peered into the mirror, reciting every line until she could perform her story perfectly.

" Mindy Brewer and Tanya Rocheleau reminisce at the year-end banquet about " The Year in Speech and Debate." and literary program. Markuson was just one of many speakers and debaters whose dedication resulted in success. "I went to practice a lot after school so Mrs. Grandick could help me," said Tanya Rocheleau '88, who advanced to finals in dramatic interpretation at the Iowa Forensic League State Tournament in March. "One night I even stayed up until 3 a.m. to get my oratory memorized . It was worth it though when I got a I rating ." Debaters were successful as well.

"At the Bryan Invitational, the specific topic was free market," said Jason Bowman '89. "It worked out well because we had been working on that the entire week , so we were really prepared . We ended up getting a first place trophy. It was great!" After a half-dozen exhausting out-of-town tournaments , the forensics teams had managed to earn 16 Division I ratings, five Division II ratings, and six outstandings.

" The class helped me overcome my fear of public speaking," said Liz Taibleson '89. "Once I had to do a demonstrative speech, and they videotaped it. I really didn't want to watch myself, but when I did, I found a lot of things I could improve on, like my gestures .

"I hadn't competed much before, so I wasn't expecting to win tons of trophies, not yet, anyway!" said Ricco Siasoco '90, who did a humorous interpretation of The Good Doctor by Neil Simon. "This year was a real learning experience. The judges were very critical, and they told me exactly how to do my gestures and vary my voice. Those suggestions improved my speech a lot. "I'm really excited for the next few years in speech because I was only two points away from making it to semifinals at l.F.L.'s."

They had turned out four major productions, working with a zero-dollar budget, and had fought low student turn - outs at auditions every inch of the way. "We had to go out and recruit students to audition for plays," said Steve Brockway, head of the drama department. " It was frustrating ." Yet the drama department overcame these hurdles, and their four productions made the year a success . Butterflies are Free, a play directed by Chris Henry '87, and run by students, became the year's first show. WHO SAID DRAMA WAS EASY? With sleeves rolled up and brush in hand , Anna Jorgensen puts the finishing touches of glitter on the " 1987 Abe Lyn x Follies" sign that took an entire week to make. Students managed everything from costume design to lighting techniques, and they realized the difficulties of putting on an entire play. " Trying to get everyone together at the same time was really frustrating, " said Henry. "But it was a lot of fun . I wish I could do it again." Little Mary Sunshine, a musical and comedy rolled into one, presented a challenge to those involved in the technical aspect of drama. Students constructed a background scenery 40 feet long by 16 feet high, and they learned painting, lighting, and scene design techniques that helped achieve the most realistic effect. " Each production offered something different," said SETTING THE STAGE.

"Little Mary Sunshine gave students the technical opportunities that putting on a major show involves." The Fantasticks, a minim us ica I performed backstage, attempted to draw in the audience through creating an intimate atmosphere. Students felt actively involved as characters exited the stage by a walkway, a mute scattered glitter in their hair, and a " dying" Indian clutched their shoulders. Preparations took six weeks, and new friendships developed as cast members worked together to present the play. "We all became really close," said Jean Gibson '89. "We were like one big family.

Finally, the Roadshow, brought about through Brockway and instructors Marsha Grandick and Lee Spann, ended the year with success. Students worked furiously for an entire week, making the sign bearing the show's nickname, " Follies." "We worked before school, after school , and during our lunches to get the sign done," said Anna Jorgensen '87. " It was a big job." The proceeds from the 20- act show pulled the drama department out of debt, leaving it ready to face the upcoming year. "Enrollment for next year has doubled," said Brockway. "Already, more kids are giving drama a try." TOGETHER AT LAST. Their differences as Matt and Luisa in The Fantas tick s reconciled, Kim Capel and Travis Walker sing together in a final duet .

That's what foreign language students did, sampling mouthwatering tacos, crepes, and birthday cake in the classroom and in posh places like the French Cafe. French Club celebrated the holiday season with a candle1 ig ht Christmas dinner and brightened February with a trip to the French Cafe and a chance to wander the Old Market. "You can't get crepes and French onion soup like they serve in the French Cafe anywhere else," said Gretchen Johnson '88. "We got a special price so we didn't have to pay $20 a person like you would if you went at night." During Foreign Language Week, French Club members continued to satisfy their food fetish by selling croissants, with funds going to eight lucky students who planned to visit France in the summer.

" Afterwards we went to a Mexican store and bought churros , a type of roll." Frequent treats like doughnuts and birthday cake made Latin class and its teacher, Don Scheibeler, a favorite with students. Birthday parties and movies about ancient Rome like Ben Hur and The Last Days of Pompeii were common happenings in class. "Latin class is more relaxed compared to my other classes," said Tami Tiller '87 . "Every day it seems we're doing something special from watching movies to hosting birthday parties."

"They have to do stunts like rolling a weeble with their nose and imitating a chicken ." Russian students didn't have time to pig out or play games. Their class met only on alternate days, and students were kept busy learning Russian characters and words. "Russian is a difficult language to learn, but it's a lot of fun," said Penny Pearson '87. " Mr. Brockway, who learned Russ ian in the army, makes it really interesting." Fun and food made taking a language a favorite with students, who found they learned about another culture not only through a textbook, but also by sampling the culture's delectable dishes!

Sophomores slipping into their seats as the bell rang to signal the start of World History class felt it. American Government students stepping into the shoes of politicians for a week felt it. And Al' s first Brain Bowl team , competing with 15 other schools, felt it. These chan.ges occurred within the social studies department and gave students new opportun ities to learn.

" It was so interesting ," said Mark Wittland '88. "We saw how they made money, where they stored it, and they gave us souvenir bags of shredded money." Changes also occurred for sophomores who found they had to take World History to graduate, after years of low ITED scores in world awareness. " We realized that some - thing needed to be done ," said Dennis Devault, head of the social studies department, " so we changed World History from an elective to a requirement." After only nine weeks, sophomores enrolled in World History took the ITED's, and average scores improved by 32 WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN?

"I worked harder in there than in any other class." Students in instructor Sidney Klopper's American Government class also learned more as they nominated candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President, and then voted as if in a real election. " It was just like the real thing ," said Heather Proctor '88. " We had press conferences, campaign managers, and debates , and everyone got real emotional. It made us realize just how much a politician goes through to get elected. " Finally Al' s first Brain Bowl team joined KMA radio station's 10th annual Brain Bowl.

While it hadn't come to this yet, art teachers feared that the more creative expressions were beginning to dwindle in importance at school. "Most of the counselors stressed the academic courses, to go back to the basics of reading, writing , and arithmetic," said Miriam Boyd, art instructor, "so some students are taking math and science courses instead of art." Since only 126 students enrolled in art classes in 1987, one of the biggest jobs of the department was recruiting . " I went through all my classes and made suggestions to my current students about what art course they should take next year," Mrs. Boyd said. "Then I made a list of former students and talked to them, asking them if they would like to take another course, or if they knew anyone who would." Such efforts resulted in raising the enrollment by 58.5 students per semester for 1988. Teachers also had to wage battle against a dwindling budget, cut 55 percent over the last year, a total of 70 percent in the past two years . "By the end of next year, the art department's supplies will be stripped ," Mrs. Boyd said. "This year the inventory will not be replaced, so there won't be much left over." Yet , despite budget cuts and low enrollment , students in the department excelled. From nine classes, 34 students entered the art fair, with 12 winning top prizes. First place or grand prize went to seniors John Hall, Tony Winchester, Curt Tucker, Missy McKinley, and Jolie Schmoker; juniors Tobe Barzydlo, Dawn Raether, Kelly Behrens, and JaNean Mattes; sophomores Jody Pierce and Arturo Adams; and freshman Tom McGuire. The media department also suffered lower enrollment but managed great accomplishments. Despite a cut from 105 students to 49, the media center began broadcasting from channel 35, "Your Educational News Channel," from its new quarters at Bloomer.

In order to put it all together, students learned to run cameras, give and I or take orders, and work as a team . "I'd say the most important person is the one who runs the mixer ma<_?hine," said Tracey Graham '87. " He has to tell the cameraman which way to move, to focus on something, and combine the different cameras so the subject can be seen from different views. He is important, but we all have to work as a team ." All in all , it was a struggle to survive in art and med ia classes , but students and teachers continued to create.

Students in instructor Patty Ford 's Child Care class had just finished a week caring for their "egg " children, which were now being disposed of. The project began with a fake pregnancy, which lasted only a few weeks. After the eggs were "born," students spent a week caring for the eggs as they would real babies. In the end, students learned a lesson worth re - membering. "I learned the responsibility of being a parent," said Teri Caputo '88. "I gave my egg baths, washed it with a washcloth whenever it got a spot, made clothes for it, and put it to bed in the refrigerator." Though some assignments were less involved, all practical arts students gained experiences that would be useful later. Foods students kept a twoweek diary of the food they ate so a dietitian from Jenny Edmundsun Hospital could advise them of changes they should make in their diets. "I found out that I eat very poorly," said Trisha Ira '87. "I don't get enough vitamins because I eat too much junk food , like candy bars , which I didn't always write down." Housing students also gained valuable knowledge. In hopes of giving students advice in building their homes and offices, Mrs. Ford had students draw their dream homes and then visit a construction site. "I learned what to look for in a house," said Nancy Wagner '87. " You have to be sure that the rooms aren't too small for the furniture you have, and it's important to have convenient entrances, so you don't have to walk all around the house to get from one room to another." Industrial arts students learned about houses in even more detail. " Architectural Drafting gave me the basics of building, such as symbols, footings, high beams, and floor plans," said Adrienne Lee '87. "This was helpful because I'm going to major in architecture and minor in interior design." USING A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE, THE BATHROOM!

The basics were also important in woods classes, where students first learned safety, then went on to the joints of wood construction , and finally, built what they wanted , from gun cabinets to stereo stands to waterbeds. "In wood shop I learned things I'll need to know later on in my career in construction," said Chris Drus_trup '87. "My father is a carpenter who has taught me a lot, and the class gave me good practice." Electronics also provided a link to career choices. " I've had a chance to use the creative skills I'll use later in engineering," said Marcus Barrett '87. " When I created a simple circuit , it impressed a lot of people , includ ing my teacher."

Soon, the lab tabletop burst into flames , as did a bunsen burner, the watch glass, and spatula. Rather than disposing of the burnt sulfur in a sink, Marsh dumped it into the trash, setting that on fire, too. Fortunately for Marsh, Steve Jensen '88, stomped out the flame, and instructor Dennis Schmoker shrugged off the incident. "It was funny watching him trying to put the flames out," Schmoker said. " Rather than getting mad, I embarrassed 90 Clubs & Classes and poked fun at him." Like Marsh, many science sudents admitted they goofed off in class, especially when doing experiments. "One day we were messing around in biology. I poured water on a hot plate and it sizzled like a Mexican jumping bean," said Beth Tangeman '89. "Soon the whole class started doing it, even though Mr. Forsee was just outside the door." Physics students also found altering experiments could have amusing results. "After one experiment, a bunch of people in our class took a ball-bearing and rolled it in the table ruts," said Shelly Kromminga '87. "The object was to see who could get the ball in certain ruts . It was supposed to be like a game of golf." An advanced physics cart experiment gave Jeff Hahn '87 , the opportunity to kid around in class. According to Mike Boone '87, Hahn used two carts like roller skates and proceeded to roll up and down the science wing hallway. "He got away with it for a while ," Boone said, " but it was funny to see the expression on his face when Mr. Freeman caught up with him."

Overcoming or completely avoiding such problems was PUTTING THEIR HEADS TOGETHER, Mike Carrithers, instructor Roger Pearson, and Todd Devereaux help Laurent Comes come up with an advertising slogan. the focus of the Food Service, Marketing and Retailing, Trade and Industries (T&I), and Office Education classes. Unlike other coop classes, T&I dealt with the safety aspect of working in carpentry, construction, or factories. "I work at Sutherlands so I get to see how important the things we learn in class really are," said Stacy McKeever '87. "I don't actually use the machines myself, but I could if I had to. I never knew there was so much to think about before using something as simple as a drill." While T&I students learned to avoid problems, Marketing and Retailing students learned to create a new product and solve the problem of marketing it while keeping cost down. In one assignment, instructor Roger Pearson had students design a hog confinement bill-board. "My building was called Heavy Harry's Pig Hotel and the slogan on my billboard was Get Hefty with Heavy Harry," said Todd Devereaux '87. "I worked for about two hours coloring and designing it." Marketing and Retailing students kept the creative juices flowing outside the classroom by becoming members of DECA. DECA membe~ swept the Area 4 and 5 Leadership Conference Feb . 11 , bringing home 13 trophies, the largest number won by an AL DECA to date. To win those trophies , DECA members engaged in role playing with judges. For example, one DECA member had to pretend she was an assistant manager of an entertainment section of a large department store. It was her job to make sure the store carried the latest in electronics.

"My class really helped me do well," said Clouse. "With about 25 kids in the class, we could bounce ideas off each other to get ready for competition. I learned how to make my ideas more appealing." Although students in the Office Education classes saw an increase in technology with three new Protype word processing typewriters, they also learned the real difference came from interracting with people, especially their teacher Mrs. Julie O'Doherty. "My job is a lot easier with the Office Ed. class," said Dawn Blunk '87. "I can go to Mrs. O'Doherty with problems. "Earlier this year, I wanted to ask for a raise, but I didn't know how. Mrs. O'Doherty told me to accentuate my job skills and the positive things I've acc om p Ii shed at the office. I didn't get the raise but only because it went to someone with more seniority. I probably couldn't even have asked why I didn't get the raise if it weren't for her." Regardless of which coop class students took , they learned to work without constant supervision by learning to avoid or solve problems. DECA.

Coop programs 95 Students tell story of problems in ... erciless mathematics W hen Time magazine reported in January that U.S. students' math skills were well below those of students in other nations, teachers and students expressed opposing viewpoints. While teachers pointed out the unfairness of the study, students said math teachers could do a better job. Teachers contended that it was unfair to compare the U.S. with other nations. "That study is like comparing apples and oranges," said Connie Byrnes, lead math teacher. " Take Japan for instance. They go to school for 240 days as compared to our 180 days. "You also need to know that teachers in Japan have only three classes compared ON A BREAK from the Creighton Math Field Day, Mike Cooper and Matt Kelly oppose a computer on campus in a game of tic-tac-toe. 96 Clubs & Classes to teachers here who have six. Since Japanese teachers have more contact with students, they tend to do better." Many students said, however, that math was their hardest subject and their ITED scores proved them right, with math ranking lower than any other subject in overall percentiles. Students blamed the problem on several things, such as repetitious curriculum and lack of time spent on certain concepts. "Every year we learn the same things," said Katie McGuire '88 . "We already knew how to cross multiply and find ratios, yet this year in geometry, they taught it to us like it was a brand new idea." In an attempt to make math less repetitious, the math department spent the year rewriting its curriculum to prepare for new books to be used in the fall of 1987. "It's been ten years since the math department has gotten new books and we thought it was time the curriculum be updated," Mrs. Byrnes said. But repetition wasn't the only problem in math classes. Some students said teachers went over concepts too fast, and most said the best solution was to seek extra help. " At times, math was hard for me because the teacher went over things faster than I could understand them," said Jody Randall '89, "so I got some extra help on proofs." Students said the greatest problem, however, was that they didn't understand the relevance of math. In a poll of 68 students, 39 said that they TANGENT TROUBLES.

"Sometimes you learn formulas and you do all of these problems with one set of formulas," said Melanie Lovstad '87, "and then they give you story problems and you have no idea which formula goes with which problem because you don't know how to relate the formulas to real life." To help correct this problem, the Area Education Agency 13 applied for an $86,000 grant from the Federal government to help train local teachers to show students how mathematical concepts can be used in daily life and in the technical jobs of the future.

As they struggled to perfect every note and step at tedious and exhausting Monday night practices, members learned it would take patience and perseverance to achieve the polished look and harmonious sound they craved. Even after long practices, swing choir members were willing to go that extra mile. In January , t hey traveled 90 miles to the Denison Swing Choir Festival to be coached further by experts in both song and dance. " On this song called 'Smile' our choreography coach was really hyper and he exaggerated everything we did," said Linda Bottrell '87.

He freaked out and emphasized everything almost too much, but he got the message accross." Even with all the practice and coach ing , moves that looked easy to an audience often created butterflies in performers' tummies. "I was so nervous the first time we performed together because I didn't want to mess up and let anyone down," said Sarah Markuson '88. " It was really scary because I wanted everything to go perfectly. I was also really worried about people seeing my hands and knees shaking." Swing choir practices weren't the only ones that were long and sometimes frustrating, but almost all choir members felt the end result was well worth the effort. " When I first saw the 'Alleluiah Chorus,' I thought 'Oh my Spann, Jeff Matier, Kristi Binkley, Jean Gibson. Sarah Markuson, Holly Pechacek, Kim Steenbock, Shawn Leahy.

" When we performed it , thought, it went really well, so I felt the work was worthwhi le." Practice and performance also paid off at competitions such as All-State Choir Contest, where Travis Walker '89, Jeff Brown '88, Teresa Jaussi '88, Kim Capel '88, and Brian Wyant '87, rose above 177 other appl icants to be selected for that prestigious choir. When the State Choir Contest came up in January, singers struggled to achieve a Division I rating.

" Performing at the new mall was a lot of fun because we got out of classes , and after we were fin ished , we went out to lunch at all the new fast , food places ," said Gretchen Johnson '88.

"Then everyone's outfit gets really messed up, and it's hysterical. One time we fit eight people into one car. " A lock-in in the big gym on Nov. 21 provided more memorable moments as 45 students stayed up all night playing games, dancing , watching movies, and , of course, singing. The purpose of the night was to develop closer friendships wh ich would promote better working relationships. Some students had unforg ett ab I e experiences that night.

Both departments underwent big changes in the '86- '87 year, which both teachers and students felt were for the better in P .E., and for the worse in driver ed. Upper and lower grades were separated for the first time in P.E. , combining freshmen and sophs on A day and juniors and seniors on 8 day. Because students found themselves with others more on their ability level, they were more at ease. " I'm really glad we didn't EASY DOES IT! Backing a car gives Cristy Walter a challenge .

" One day we got so into our talking while we were leaning on a ping pong table that when one of us got up, the whole thing toppled over." Students were "keyed up " for driver ed in a different way. Budget cuts caused the class to be offered only during second semester, and this caused a rush to register, with only 180 out of about 300 finally able to enroll in the class . Because the class was required to get a license before age 18, not getting into the class presented sophs with bleak alternatives. Younger sophs , who had last chance at the course , could either wait a year or pay big bucks for a summer or night class. " My birthday was so late I would have had to wait until my junior year to get my license," said Dennis Kirlin '89, "so I spent $85 and took the summer class." Waiting until the junior year to take driver ed was not the best solution either. "Not being able to drive is so embarrassing because when we go out, I always have to depend on other people for rides ," said Renee Dodds '88. All in all, changes in the physical and driver education departments affected not so much what students learned, but when they learned it and ultimately affected students ' satisfaction with school.

From programming and keyboarding classes, they moved to economics, special education, journalism, and a library lab. In the special education suite, students were hesitant to work on computers, but teachers said that after a 'few weeks, students couldn't wait to practice spelling on them. Containing eight Apple lle's, a tiny lab opened in the library in January. Within two weeks, about 11 students a day came in, and several teachers had already reserved the lab for their classes. "I took my chemistry class up to use programs which helped review for the semester test," said Chris Fink, science teacher. "I think the kids really benefitted from it." To learn the basics, students took Programming I and found computers could be fun during a graphics unit. "After all the effort, I was so happy when my pitcher finally wound up and threw his ball," said John Larsen '87. Those considering careers in computer science could take Programming II. "I took computers last year and actually found this course easier," said Curt Winchester '87. "We found short cuts in our programs, even though they took three or four pages'.' After a ten-year absence, economics was offered with the aid of computers. "Many of the concepts are difficult for students to grasp," said instructor Larry Brown, "but the computers actually give students examples of how the concepts work." Units included personal budgeting and business operations. In one project, students pretended to own a shoe store, and given sales for the year, computed profits and commissions. Finally, new Mclntoshes helped Echoes staffers operate more like professionals, as they used the computers to set type themselves.

Service Organizations 1 1 1 Continued obsforthejoy Student council fervor continued as members organized the bloodmobile and collected 70 pints of blood in November. The following month student council members took up a collect ion of another kind, sponsoring a contest among homerooms to donate food , blankets , and toys for the needy. The council was so successful spurring competition that the homerooms gathered $3000 worth of items. After every can and toy was counted , the council awarded a pizza lunch to Bob Burns' homeroom, which averaged 32 items per student. St udent council was honored when president Todd Fox ' 87 , received the Greater Omaha Area Youth Leader of the Year Award in October from the National Council on Youth Leadership. He attended a three-day seminar at the end of November in St. Louis. " It is a good program because it recognizes people and their abilities," said Fox. "It encourages people to get involved and go for the gusto." While student council provided services for students, the Foreign Exchange Club spent hours decking the halls for Christmas Dance.

" Most students who needed help weren 't willing to get up at 7 a.m. to work on homework, or their teacher would help them after school," said Barb Leu '87.

Service Organizations 113 '' I didn't go to my parents when I first thought about quitting because I knew they would react negatively. My parents had great ambitions about 'Little Todd' going off to college and becoming a wonderful success, so it didn't seem that I'd get any support from them. Todd Sanders '88JJ AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO RETURNING TO SCHOOL, dropout students can attend the Alternative Learning Center where Rebecca Haynes signs in for morning classes after leaving AL first semester. SOON AFTER DROPPING OUT, most students find themselves studying the want ads seeking a job. 114 Special Feature . , ~ I -1- . -. •l /..~, , .• /.'° Dropping out Bad experiences cause students to think about leaving "I 'llllllJlllllllllll n one week, I lost three people,'' said Mary Gepner, Ameri - can history instructor, "three people gone from school because of poor attendance." Mrs. Gepner was but one teacher who was concerned about a growing dropout rate, which was 4 percent by the end of the first semester and plagued the Senior Class, leaving it with only 280 students at the end of third quarter, down from 320 at the beginning of the year. "It's all the things that are occurring in their lives," said vice principal Fred Maher. "It's family problems, work problems, boyfriend problems, girlfriend problems. Some are frustrated with the amount of work and some with the structure of school." Dropping out most often occurred because of bad experiences students had at school, such as grades, poor attendance, and frequent suspension. "I had a certain amount of insecurity about the entire thing," said Todd Sanders '88 who came close to leaving school. "School seemed like a 0 waste of time, so I put it on the back burner. Then the assignments started snowballing, and before I knew it, I had a big mess on my hands." According to Maher, being involved with drugs or certain people as friends sometimes created problems for a student. "I got into a lot of trouble because I was hanging around with the wrong group of people," said Mark Thompson '87, a dropout who returned to school. "I didn't feel like I should have been in school, so I finally quit." Dropping from school may have also been a result of financial concern. "I didn't want to go anymore; I wanted to get a full time job instead," said Richie Donaldson, who quit in the eleventh grade. "I worked at Peony Park in the Royal Terrace Ballroom from 8 to 3:30 p.m. weekdays and from 8 to 1 :30 p.m. on weekends. I would rather earn money than grades." According to Maher, administrators followed a procedure of calling parents and making everyone aware of the problem before drop sheets were signed. "I didn't go to my parents when I first thought about quitting because I knew my parents would react negatively," said Sanders . " My parents had great ambitions about 'little Todd' "HOW MANY CREDITS DO I HAVE?" Don Barrett asks counselor Dick Schoeppner. Barrett was a sophomore who dropped out and returned. going off to college and becoming a wonderful success, so it didn't seem likely that I'd get any support from them." Maher said parents were often confused when they learned of the problem. "I often get comments from them, such as, 'I don't know what to do,' "he said. "They're frustrated and don't know where to turn." For many students who wanted to drop, it was a battle, but they often succeeded. " I came up with the idea of dropping out first," said Eric Stites, who left in the eleventh grade. "My parents didn't like it, but then I just kept skipping until I got into so much trouble I had to drop." Donaldson said he made the decision to leave and then refused to budge, despite parental pressure. "I told my mom and then I set my mind that I wasn't going to school , and she couldn't change it for me," he said. "They tried to keep me there, but I didn't want to stay." According to Maher, the administration informed students of all the options available to those wanting to drop out. One such option was the General Education Development Test Battery (GED). Equivalent to a high school diploma, the GED consisted of five tests: math, writing skills, social studies, and reading, according to Margot Fetrow from the Adult Learning Center (ALC). "At the learning center we test only 18-year-olds with their c lass already graduated," she said. Another option for those who couldn't handle AL or Tee Jay was CB schools' Alternative Learning Center. "I attend ALC now, and I really like it," said Stites. "I'll probably go there until I get caught up on my credits for my junior year." According to Maher, another option always open to students was that of returning to the public school system when they were ready, as Thompson did. " I worked a lot and I paid my own rent," he said, "I wanted a career, and I knew I was never going to go anywhere without a diploma."

One person who seemed to do everything well was Kari Hannan '90, who participated in cheerleading, took ballet 21 hours per week, danced in the Omaha production of the Nutcracker, and kept up a 3.8 G.P.A. ''I push myself really hard in ballet because I want to do better each time. In the Nutcracker I have gone from playing a party child to playing a lamb," said Hannan. ''Being involved like I am is a lot of pressure, but I think it will help me later in life when I need to be responsible." As if Amelia Johnson '88, didn't have enough to do with porn pon, tap and jazz classes, homework for a 3.8 G.P.A., and soccer practice, she took on the responsibility of coaching an under-14 girls' soccer team. "If I wasn't so involved, I'd get bored," said Johnson. ''When things get hectic, I take a break, so I don't get burned out." To many of us, Todd Fox '87, student council president, represented the ultimate in involvement. He served as president of NHS and co-editor of the Echoes, taught church classes, worked at Bishops 1 O hours per week, and still maintained his 3.9 G.P.A. "If you do something well, every activity you're in dumps stuff on you. That can be a pain, especially when you've got a million other things to do," said Fox, "but I've learned to let things work themselves out when they get too intense." Hannan, Johnson, and Fox were just a few of those who used pressure - even sought it - to get the best from themselves. ll 1'm under a lot of pressure, but I try to find time to relax every week.

"I spend an hour curling my hair each morning," said Susan Vesper '88. "It gets to be a hassle, but if your hair doesn't look good, the picture you present just isn 't complete.

"During wrestling season I have a goal to focus on, so I'm never bored," said Tim Knauss '88. Most students said their main reason for involvement was the desire to meet people.

" I wear nice clothes because when you look good, you feel good," said BJ Coburn '88, "and studs always feel good." Like clothes, a good body also contributed to overall good looks. " If you're a fat pig, girls won't look at you," said Scott Widtfeldt '88, "but if you have a good body, you can get a girl's attention." Acting studly, however, involved more than just being gorgeous. " I try to have a good sense of humor and caring personality," said Dale Messerly '88.

"I don 't care if I go out with her." Students said infatuation gave them a constant feeling of excitement and pleasure, something that was sometimes absent in their lives. "It's fun to be infatuated," said Kristi Anderson '88, " It puts me on kind of a high!" CASUAL COURTYARD FUN.

You were a sophomore and soon you would take driver education. But for more than half the sophomore class, a ticket to freedom wouldn't become a reality. Because of budget cuts, driver education was offered only second semester, and only the oldest sophs were allowed into the course. Of 100 sophs surveyed, only 34 were enrolled in driver education. For some, summer school, at the cost of $85, was an alternative, but it cut into summer fun. "My soaps were ruined because I had to go to driver ed every day this summer," said Lisa Koenig '89, "but I'd miss All My Children before I'd ride the bus to school." "I'm taking the course offered at night because I want to get my license as soon as possible," said Jeff Jensen '89. "I'd like to be able to drive during the summer." Being forced to wait for a license, many stranded sophs relied on their parents for rides. " It's embarrassing being picked up after school when you're 16 and should be able to drive," said Robb Traylor '89.

There are just too many athletes better than you. Work on your skills and try again next year," said the basketball coach. It was nothing new for an individual ath· lete to bear such a fate, but it was unheard of to cut whole teams from partic i· pa ti on. Yet, that's just what happened to soph· omore football and basketball. Due to decreases in the school district's budget, sophomore teams were cut in the spring of '86. One of the results of the cut was a decrease in team partic ipation. According to Coach Phil Nielsen, 38 sophomores went out for basketbal l last year as compared to 18 this year. " I think it's sad they had to cut sop ho· more teams," said Nielsen. " Some soph· omores with potential aren 't able to play much to develop their skills for the next year." Another result of the cut, according to Nielsen, was that with so many players on JV, only about half of them could play a worthwhile portion of the game. Rick Vandenberg '89, for example, was a starter on the freshman team , but due to the cut, he had to play on the second JV team and rarely played. Some, however, made the first JV team by improving their skills at a basketball camp. " I went to two basketball camps during the summer," said Jeff Hays '89. " This taught me skills other players didn't have and gave me a better chance of making the first JV team."

PUTTING HOMEWORK ASIDE, Abby Wilmarth browses through a Seventeen magazine to check out the latest fashion during her free hour, which she spends in the library. 14 2 Sophomores Jorgensen-Nagel Stuck in the midd E Longing for a lounge S ettling into a graffiti-covered desk, a sophomore opened his World History book, intent on finishing the Greek history chapter before his test tomorrow. Suddenly, weights clanged together and Boston's latest song came blaring through the weight room doorway. Below the balcony in the gym, a P.E. student yelled , " It's my turn to serve." Despite the need to study for tomorrow's test, the book's cover slammed shut. Studying seemed futile. " I can't hear myself think in my study hall," said Heidi Boone '89. "As soon as the teacher takes attendance, people get into groups to talk . Then to leave, we have to wait forever to sign out. The noisy, poorly lighted study hall resulted when administrators changed the cafe study hall into a more relax ed lounge for jtfn iors and seniors and sent underclassmen to the gym balcony for what was supposed to be a structured study hall on the premise that they were too young for lounge privileges. Sophs hated the study hall not only because they couldn 't study in it, but also because the new junior-senior lounge eliminated the old lounge to which sophs used to escape with honor passes. "It's kind of a let down when we had privileges as freshmen that we don't get as sophomores, " said Brian Harmon '89. Many students found themselves wish - ing they had signed up for another class . Others, however, resorted to fleeing to the library or even skipping. "I skip study hall. They give me inhouse every time , but at least you can get some studying done in in -house!" said Cristy Riddle '89. ,. '_,.

Some found it easy to gain bucks by resorting to deceit, starving themselves, or both. "Each morning, my mom gives me $1.50 for lunch," said Rachel Ratigan '89, "and my dad gives me $1 .50 without either knowing the other has given me money. Since I don't eat lunch, I end up making about $15 that I can spend on whatever I want during the week." Some students mooched food off friends to hoard money. "I usually buy ice cream and save the rest of my money," said Scott Flickinger '89. "I'm still hungry, so I snag food from other people. It's gotten so bad that when I sit at the lunch table, people hover over their food. " ~ For those who chose to earn their bucks honestly, babysitting was a good alternative. "The pay really equals how much I do," said Carolyn Widtfeldt '89. "Even though I don't earn a lot of money, I don't do that much work either." Others in desperate need of money settled for jobs below minimum wage. "I enjoy my job, even though I make only $2 an hour," said Mindy Spencer '89, who works at Ro Ra's Funnel Cakes. "It isn't a very difficult job, and I can see my friends and even go shopping on my break." Despite the various ways they had learned to earn bucks, sophomores overwhelmingly said that as soon as they became old enough, they would be ready to start searching for a part-time job. IN A WORK SLUMP, Rachel Rhatigan longs for her punch-out time as she gazes across the hall at the movie goers. Rhatigan made $2 an hour at Ro Ro' s Funnel Cakes and worked an average of 12 hours a week.

But to Clark's shock, after 5844 days of life, she was greeted there by all her friends waiting to help celebrate that sweet plateau - birthday number 16. Fifty -eight percent of sophomores polled said drivers licenses were the most important result of a sixteenth birthday, especially since that tiny little card would give dating a whole new meaning. "Before I got my license, my parents had to drive me on dates, which was so embarrassing," said Todd Thies '89, "but dating is much more fun now that I can drive myself." According to 19 percent of the students polled, getting a job was the best consequence of turning 16. "I'm really glad I could get my job at Fill 'N Food because I needed to earn money for a trip to France this summer," said Nicole Askins '89. So, finally after 5844 days, sophomores began enjoying the privileges of driving, dating, and working . SWEET SIXTEEN GIFT GIVING.

"It makes me happy that after working, my mom or dad 150 Freshmen Fogarty-Kesterson takes time to fix a meal," said Tonya Hauser '90. Students also appreciated the time their parents spent talking with their kids at dinner. Of those polled, 82 percent said they spent 11 to 20 minutes per night at the table, and over half said it served as a valuable time to talk. " We talk about school, which my mom, sister, and I have in common," said Lori French '90. "We also talk about practice and Amy's cheerleading." men said their activities made life in the fast food lane a necessity at times. "One night I have cheerleading, and Kelly has porn pon," said Michelle McEvoy '90. "That's when we eat late or stop at Hy-Vee for chicken.

Although coaches felt sports were important, they also wanted to emphasize academics. "The policy didn't affect the volleyball team because we put emphasis on being at school for an education, not volleyball practice," said Mary Kyte, girls' volleyball coach. "If a student is failing a class, then she doesn't need to be practicing." Other coaches shared the same feelings. "I think it should have been done a long time ago," said Ron Lakatos, assistant wrestling coach. "It's great because we know exactly who can wrestle and who can't when that list comes out every week. It's had a positive effect." Parents liked the rule too. "I think taking away something that my son enjoys has hurt him worse than idle threats," said Yvonne Hoover, mother of Doug Hoover '89, who received a downslip in the fall. But students felt differently about the rule. "I think it stinks because trig, the class I failed, is an elective," said Sue Hestness '87. "Why should I be punished for taking it and not succeeding?" Since mailing the letters was so time consuming for secretaries, students sometimes complained that they didn't receive notification of failure until after the ineligible list was published. " Mr. Spann was the one who told me that I was ineligible, and I had no idea about it," said Hestness. Despite students disapproval, the faculty-favored eligibility rule was here to stay.

Laziness and non-school priorities were the main reasons for putting things off. "I have a pressure-filled life during the week to keep up 1 with what's happening," said Brian Anderson '88. "Homework takes a back seat to the rest of my life because I don't make a point to focus on it." Long term projects and reports seemed to be the most difficult for students to complete on time. Denise Solazzo '87, recalled her troubles with a term paper. "I knew my paper was going to be a hassle, but I didn't have the will or energy'to get started," said Solazzo. "I suffered in the long run because I had to type the entire paper the night before. At 2:30 a.m. I dozed off before completing the footnotes. Because of my laziness, I got a D on a paper that should have been a B." Speeches were another assignment students tucked away until visions of failing the course were well into view. "I want to do a good job, but when I have to write a speech, I seem to get a mental block," said Dawn Shipley '88. "I'm afraid to speak in front of large groups, so if I put off writing my speech , I won't worry about it as much." Even though some students didn't mind losing points on late assignments, those who cared concocted memorable excuses. "When I was teaching research papers, one of my students told me that his note cards were on top of his car and they blew away when he drove off," said Carol Murray, English instructor.

"Most of my outfits come from the Limited , a store in the Westroads," said Nicole Askins '89. " The Limited carries Ou tback Red , my fav orite brand , which represents the way I feel about myself." Of those interviewed, 76 percent of the girls spent approximately $100 per month on clothes and guys spent about $50 to $75.

"I think having a Swatch that's really 'in' is a lot of fun, " said Robb Traylor '89. Sales tempted students, too, especially on tapes and clothes. "I adore sales!" said Christy Riddle '89 . " I go straight to the sales racks whenever I go shopping. I love it when I find things super cheap, and I'll buy them, even if I don't need them." In the same poll, 40 percent indicated that when doing shopping with friends, they tended to spend more money. "Sometimes my friends will encourage me to buy really trendy clothes or expensive jewelry that I would normally pass up," said Barb Leu '87. A PERIPHERAL VIEW.

The winnings had to come from somewhere, though, and 22 percent of the students admitted to being $15 or more behind. "One night at my house Tom (Lustgraaf) wanted to play my brother in a game of pool for $10," said Scott Punteney '87. "Once they started going, everyone got in on the betting until Tom had about $50 riding on the game. He lost and got so mad he smashed his dad's pool cue.

You should have known what would happen and you could have called to a halt at any time.' " In a poll of 175 students, 50 percent said they have had sexual intercourse at least one time, although not all had planned to do so. "I was wasted, drunk and stoned. I hadn't planned on going all the way, but I happened to be with an older guy at the wrong time," said a sophomore girl. "After the high wore off, I regretted what I had done.' ' But of those who said they gave into sexual pressures, 50 percent said on their polls that they felt no remorse or guilt about their decision. "I didn't plan on having sex, but why should I feel guilty about it? It had to happen sometime," said a freshman boy. Yet in interviews, many students said they were concerned about their reputations. "There's a big story line behind me," said a junior girl. "I've experienced a lot, and people kind of know that about me. But the fact is that I'm not that different from other people." "If a girl is known for going all the way," another girl said, "she'll have a hard time finding a real boyfriend because guys don't want to go out with a girl all the other guys talk about at the lunch table." Even guys worried that they might have a hard time finding a date if they became known for "going all the way.'' "Sometimes I think girls are afraid to go out with me because they think I'm after one thing," said a junior boy. "A girl didn't ask me to Christmas Dance because she thought I'd take her to a motel.'' Those who didn't give into sexual pressure said their main reasons were not being able to handle the responsibility of a pregnancy and their moral beliefs. "Even before I heard guys talking about girls they had been with, I knew sex wasn't for me," said a senior girl. "I was raised believing sex is special and should be saved until marriage.''

D D ill CT's, PSAT's, and ITED's were a bunch of meaningless letters to some, but to many college bound students, they were a source of stress, preparation, and surprise. Though Iowa colleges admitted students with an ACT score as low as 19, students worried about scoring high enough. "I wanted to do well on the ACT because teachers told me if you didn't, you wouldn't do well in college because their tests are based on standardized tests like the ACT," said Jolie Schmoker '87. Others were more worried about scholarships. "I usually get good scores on standardized tests, but I felt I really had to do well on the ACT's because if I didn't, I would lose a lot of money in scholarships," said Todd Fox '87, whose score of 33 made it possible for him to enter MIT. Since there was no way for students to study for 166 Mini Mag PUTTING PENCIL to use on the ITED, Sally Rayburn works hard to get a good score. these tests, they used a variety of methods to prepare. "I got a good night's sleep and ate breakfast," said Jennie Thompson '87. "I also worked on the practice booklets· and the computer discs in the counseling office." ~ Some students went to even more work to prepare. Every Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m., Molly Swank '88, went to a class on testing at Reading Plus in Omaha. During the six-week class, students took practice tests within increasingly shorter time limits to learn to work faster. They also did a lot of homework. "Sometimes I would do up to ten math and vocabulary worksheets a week," said Swank. "Once my mother even had to do the worksheets because I didn't have the time, and I was so frustrated I didn't even want to look at them. But the class must have helped because my verbal score on the PSAT went up 14 points the second time I took the test." Whether or not students prepared, their scores often surprised them. "My grades aren't that great, but I did well on the ACT," said Craig Stueve '87, who scored a 26. "My scores probably showed that I could do better in class if I tried harder and wasn't as lazy." Others got the opposite surprise. "I thought I was prepared for the ACT, but I wasn't satisfied when I received my scores because I was one point lower than I needed to apply for a Pell grant," said Leanne Ellis '87. "I took the test twice in hopes of getting a higher score." Standardized tests caused stress, extra work and in some cases, pleasant surprise or serious disappointment. Questionnaries, magazine surveys reveal the truth about you 1iY,{ ost of us loved quizzes l1.AJ that revealed surprising and vital information like "Does He Really Love Me?" and "How Do I Rate on the First Date?".

"They are certainly nothing to base your life on, but sometimes I fill them out iust for fun ." But then there were those who believed in the results. "You really have to be gullable to believe those polls," said Katie McGuire '88, "and I'm really gullable. I'll believe alm9st anything." Some people admitted to looking ahead at the "right" answers, like the answers that would give them the best lover title, the best fashion sense, or tell them money meant more to them than love. "You want your score to come out to be how you perceive yourself rather than what you're really like," said Sarah Markuson '88. "Sometimes I catch myself cheating to get a better score."

How she hated those physical fitness tests! Whether P.E. students dreaded them or looked forward to their challenge, physical ·fitness tests were given at the beginning and end of every year without fail.

" Being in sports keeps you in good shape and makes you stronger, so the tests are easy to pass for athletes ," said Mike Patten '87. "I run ladders in football , line drills in basketball, and quarters in track, and all the conditioning keeps my endu ra nce up throughout the year." The tests' purpose was to show student s' improvement in P .E. throughout the year, but many students felt their P .E. class didn't teach them the skills tested .

Working with Mom isn 't so bad, according to Tad Brewer, who checks a billing with his mom, Lee Schaller, at the accounting firm they own. Pupils whose parents work at AL find themselves lthough most students seemed to feel that having a parent working in the school would disrupt their lives to no end, those who suffered this fate usually handled it with grace, not to mention guts. Thirteen families sent a Parent and a child to AL everyday. Of the 15 students involved, 11 of them liked having Mom or Dad around, recognizing advantages, such as always having someone to talk to, ride to school with, and borrow money from. "Having Mom around comes in handy every once in a while when I need some lunch money or something," said Jason Bowman '89, son of L'Louise Bowman, French teacher. But with the good, came the bad. One of the disadvantages was that these parents had several direct pipelines to everything going on with their teen. "One of my teachers went up to my dad and told him that I was talking too much in class," said Beth Tangeman '89. "It bugged me, but it would have been worse if the teacher had c alled my parents up that night just to tell them what I was doing wrong." Things became most trying for these students when playing on a team o r taking a class under their ow n parent, for then, these kids felt they had to prove their abilities more than anyone else. "When there's a guy on the (basketball) team about equal to me," said Scott Nielsen '87, son of Phil Nielsen, basketball coach, "I have to prove I'm good enough to be playing, not just being favored because I happen to be the coach's son." Things were perhaps most difficult for the principals' kids. "I get picked on a lot about being the assistant principal's son," said Kyle Maher '90, son of Fred Maher, assistant principal. "They say I won't get busted because my dad is an assistant principal. They also criticize him, but they usually do it under their breath so I won't hear." In all, the situation was an obstacle, but these students hurdled it with little trouble. "It's not such a good thing when you father's the principal," said Michelle Frick '89, daughter of Principal Fred Frick. "But there's not much I can do about it, and I don't want to change schools or anything, and this way, he's there if I need him, and I know more about school activities in advance."

"My exchange student and I still write each other all the time. I'd really like to go to France next summer to visit her," said Kelly Halsted '88, who had a student stay with her for a month in the summer. Students also found that having a student from a foreign country was more fun and educational than reading about that place in a library book. The family of Ann ('87) and Denny ('89) Kirlin hosted Laurent Comes, a student from Paris, for the school year and found it to be a time of learning and enjoyment.

She moved to Council Bluffs from Washington last summer, so she felt a little unsure. "I didn't know anything about AL, but after a few days I knew I would like it here because people made me feel comfortable," said Stageman. 170 Mini Mag By the end of the first quarter, 123 students had come to AL from places as far away as Washington and Kansas and as close as Omaha. All had adjustments to make. " Classes are harder here. I have to study twice as hard to get halfway decent grades," said James Kohl '88, a transfer from Tee Jay. New students also had to get used to new rules . " In Kansas , whe n we cut a class, they just yelled at us," said Charles ::>tahl '89 . Sometimes we got a detention . Here, we get in-house the first time." Many transfer students found people as well as policies different. "At my school in Omaha, there were tons of cliques - preppies, punks , headbangers, nerds, and ath - letes, " said Nathan Klaus '90. " It was obvious what group everyone was in , but here people aren 't as con - cerned with cliques ." "IS THIS THE RIGHT ROOM?"

" I had to pay them back and buy the $250 stereo that I put in the car." But even with hours of hard work, not all students could afford a nice car, so they settled for a beater. " My car is k ind of a Piece of junk, but it was available and cheap, only $100, so I got it," said Nate Wichman '88. " I'm going to D D have to spend about $500 to fix it up, so I might not have saved as much as I thought after all." But whether students owned rad cruising vessels or beaters, wheels meant freedom. Students didn't have to wait for parents to pick them up or borrow the family fun wagon any longer. " I used to have to wait for my mom for an hour after school, and it got tiring because all I did was sit in the journalism room and look for things to keep me busy," said LeAnne Ellis '87. " I love having my own car now because I'm free to come and go whenever I please. Yet, for all car owners, freedom came at a price. " My uncle gave me an '80 Berlinetta Camero," said Troy Spencer '88. " Now I'm spending $440 every six months for insurance and $15 per week on gas. Even with a job, it's hard for me to afford all the extra expenses." Some students had to pay in ways other than gas and insurance. Bob Drummond '88, had to maintain good grades and good behavior and agree to restore the inside of his '58 Ford Ranch Wagon in order to keep his car. " Sometimes the car is a lot more trouble than I think it's worth," Drummond said. "It 's not hard work but it takes extra time and money that I sometimes don't have." Repairs and maintenance weren't the only aspect of owning a car that proved to be more of a responsibility than some students had expected. " When I got my car, I was really excited and felt a lot older, but the excitement wore off fast," said Nancy Wagner '87. " Running errands for my mom and taking friends places got old very quickly." Yet, in the long run students said the advantages of their wheels outweighed the disadvantages of being stuck without transportation. CLASSY OR CLASSIC?

Webster's Lf definition of it was the attachment between friends , a strong bond between two people. It was hard to imagine life without friends. They were included in almost every activity. " Cari and I are practically inseparable," said Katrina Tompkins ' 88. "She even goes out wifh me and my boyfriend! " Pra ctically every.one had a close friend, someone with whom they shared everything . "During cheerleading tryouts, I was really scared and didn't want anyone to know I was trying out, but my best friend cheered me on and told me to try my hardest," said Reo Price '88. Although friends were often there to comfort and help with problems, they sometimes caused them . Students said two of their friends' most thoughtless acts were confiding secrets to others and making "double" plans. "I made plans to go out with a friend one Friday night about a week in advance," said Scott Downing '90. " But he didn't think I meant it because he made plans with someone else." So as they experienced the joys and pains of friendship , students learned to handle it with ca re.

Most turned to Mom, Dad, and the rest of the family and asked to borrow things like clothes, money, cars, and houses. Such loans weren't made without conditions. The family's prized possessions had to be handled with care, or the borrower had to face the wrath of parents or a bigger, stronger, sibling. When they ran out of cash, many students head· ed first for Mom's purse or Dad's wallet. "I borrow money from my parents a lot, and they're always yelling at me for never giving them the change," said Chuck McKinley '89. Many students without a set of wheels of their own found themselves begging for the family boat for an evening, but Heidi LaSala '90 had bad luck in her car borrowing. "I backed our car into a condominium when my parents were out of town. I never heard the end of it!" said LaSala. Personal items, such as a favorite sweater or tape were also borrowed, often "I WON'T LOSE IT, MOM!"

It's a good way not to get anymore loans!" said Shelly Leeper '90. Borrowing expensive things was a way of life for students with meager incomes, but the most dangerous was the family house. Scenes of trashed homes in movies like Sixteen Candles may have worried students a bit, but many couldn't resist taking their chances, despite the risk. Chris Stevens '87 had the biggest friend she knew serve as bouncer to insure no damage at her parties, but for others, crowd control was impossible and the house suffered the consequences. Melody Massih '87, had just planned on having a few friends over for the night, but what happened was total chaos. She found flower pots overturned, people taking showers without permission, and univitied guests feeding beer to her dog and sitting in her yard at 1 a.m. listening to a radio. "E veryone was running around screaming. I found yogurt on the window and beer cans everywhere," said Massih. "Worst of all , two guys got into a fight in the kitchen and two girls fought on the porch, which brought my neighbors out."

"There was a girl before me named Krissy, and she was supposed to get two teeth pulled. Accidentally, he pulled two of my lower teeth. I haven't gone back." This was just one of many harrowing experiences students had at their dentist's office. Some complained their dentist or orthodontist had made careless, painful errors. "The orthodontist let an instrument slip off my braces, and it ripped half the skin out of my mouth," said Craig Stueve '87. "I was really mad." Mike Feller '87, said his dentist began drilling without numbing. "He had to stop and numb my mouth half way through the process," 17 4 Mini Mag Feller said. "I was shocked, but I took it with good humor." In addition to needless pain, students had suffered embarrassment at the dentist's office. "Once when I had novo - caine in my bottom lip, I slobbered on myself while rinsing my mouth," said Bob Drummond '88. Amy French '88, said she remembered an extraction. "The dentist pulled my tooth so hard that it flew out of my mouth and fell on the floor. Everyone was crawling around looking for it," said French. Some students had even bitten their dentist. "My dentist gave me a shot of novocaine and I bit his finger," said Scott Flickinger '89. "Now he puts stoppers in my mouth."

Scope was a favorite mouthwash of 21 percent of those polled, who said they often used mouthwash before going out. "I am always paranoid about how my teeth look and if I have fresh breath, especially when I want to impress someone," said Windy Kennedy '89. Flossing and the use of a waterpik weren't necessities, but 41 percent took advantage of their benefits. "If you've seen a person who wear braces after eating corn on the cob, you'll understand why I use a waterpik," said Rachel Stageman '88. TO KEEP A BRIGHT SMILE, Troy and Mindy Spencer brush their teeth before school. Perfection is worth the wait [;\ s the buzzer of his alarm W sounded, Larry Stover '88, dreaded getting out of bed, but with a jolt, he realized it was the first day of summer, the day he was getting his braces off. Two and a half years earlier, he had his silver eye catchers put on. Now, the day to reveal his pearly whites had arrived. He didn't care if anyone else liked or even noticed his "new" teeth , but he knew he would feel more confident with a perfect smile. Like Stover, many students were self-conscious about their teeth. "I always worried that people wouldn't like me because of my teeth, so I neve r smiled, " said Chris Stom '88, who got braces in sixth grade. Since teeth were one part of SHOWING HER PEARLY WHITES, Donna Sanders laughs at a joke told by Corey Ranslem in study hall. the body that could be corrected , many students spent thousands of dollars and valuable time at the orthodontist' s office. A poll of 100 st uden t s showed 43 had worn braces, paying from $1400 to $2800 for the procedure and spending anywhere from six months to three years as metal mouths. Derek Bees '89, was a typical patient. He had his braces on for about 22 month s and followed his treatment religiously. On the other hand, Andrea Darveaux '87, wore her shiny bands for four and half years simply because she refused to cooperate. " For six months, my head gear just sat on my lam pshade, and I had tons of packets of rubbe r bands lyi ng around," said Darveaux. Eventually , she wised up and finally got her braces off.

Marlene Abel asks Jeanette Hesse while they wait for the elevator at Jennie Edmundson Hospital. The girls candystriped for three hours every Tuesday evening. Their duties included delivering flowers, feeding patients, and working in the gift shop. 17 6 Community Division I I I tlte kay, so we weren't always happy about living in Council Bluffs. It wasn't exactly a throbbing metropolis with all the best shopping and entertainment around, but still, we strived to get the best from our town by giving our best to it. Seventy of us took jobs at the new mall, 48 of us candystriped at Jennie Edmundson, and one of us even worked with the city council. For some, a job at the mall meant facing pressures of working up to 40 hours a week, starting with the opening right through the Christmas rush with a regular paycheck as their only consolation. Candystripers, on the other hand, received no paycheck for the one night a week they worked. ''We help the community by paying attention to hospitalized people who wouldn't necessarily receive any," · said Sheryl Anderson '89. "I've learned how to communicate with people who don't always want to communicate back." Kevin Marsh '88, also improved his communication skills on the city council committee to select a mayor or manager form of city government. "Working with the city council took debating, because I had to convince a roomful of adults of a position that so many were bound to be against," he said. "The knowledge and confidence I gained more than compensated for my time.'' '' The cate court is the best thing about the new mall because it offers so much variety. Midlands was so dark and dreary, but the new mall is bright, which makes a great atmosphere. Lisa Christiansen JJ Whether we worked at the mall, candystriped, or got HUNGRY MEN.

Community Division 1 7 7 Students find fun after midnight R emember when your mother said, "Nothing but trouble happens after midnight!"? Well, this was the year to prove her wrong . Now Council Bluffs had two after-midnight activities for teens, Rock-a-Bowl at Brunswick and "Midnight Madness" at Cresent Ski Hills. If you didn't mind waiting until midnight, Rock-a-Bowl was relatively inexpensive, with the average expense of $5 to $1 O for two hours of fun. "Rock-a-Bowl was worth the cost because you could play pool and video games, and bowl as many games as you wanted to all in one place," said Marsha Anderson '88. Meanwhile, improvements estimated at $300,000 helped draw teens to "Madness ." After expansion of the Cresent Ski Hills' snowmaking and kitchen facil ities as well as the addition of another slope and chairlift, Friday and Saturday nights from midnight to 6 a.m. were reserved for three hundred 14-to20-year olds. " I like to ski but I'm a night person," said Brian Arrowsmith '90. " Before the new hours , I was never allowed to stay out late. But now that there's 'Midnight Madness ' I have somewhere to go." The late hours showed skiers that a break could re-energize weary muscles and bones. "I'd get so tired by 3 a .m .. " said Michele An - drews '90, "and everyone would go to the lodge and crash. But after an hour of resting , we would get a second wind and everyone was ready to ski again." Although Mom might have disapproved, fun without the sun was here to stay.

II When I'm under pressure, I'm forced to give more than I normally would. JJ Betina Whitaker WITH A SMILE FULL OF PRIDE, Kim Steenbock accepts congratulations, a plaque, and a $50 savings bond from choir instructor Lee Spann for her dedication to the choral department. 204 Closing After being pushed by pressure for nine months, it was finally time for ... uring a special year in which our Iowa winter seemed almost non-existent, many of us tried to hide in the glare of the sun from the monster called pressure. We soon found, though, that we couldn't hide for long. In the form of deadlines, term papers, tests, and tournaments, pressure chased us down and forced us to face it - and face it we did! Throughout the year, but especially in May, we both reaped the rewards of our work and sought ways to temporarily relieve pressure. On May 14, seniors were honored at Senior Honors Night, where Principal Fred Frick praised the Class of '87, saying that 89 percent of the seniors had earned more than 660 special awards after spending more than 100,000 hours on extracurricular activities, and that over $286,000 had been given to them in the form of college scholarships and other awards. "It seems like ever since kindergarten, we have been hearing, 'You kids are the worst class to ever go through this school system!' " said Kelly Yost '87. "It was great to hear Dr. Frick praise our class at Senior Honors Night. It's about time for someone to focus on the good stuff about our class instead of cutting us down all the time." Yet, just a week after all the praise, and the night before they were to be released from AL forever, seniors invaded the campus with hundreds of rolls of toilet paper. Just when things were going great, the teepeers heard, "COPS! RUN!" While police lights scanned the campus, panic stricken kids scattered everywhere - into neighborhoods, behind trees, and up (continued on page 206) PUSHIN' A BROOM, Principal Fred Frick takes a break from his everyday duties to give the janitors a hand in cleaning up end-of-the-year debris from the hallway. ABE GETS A NEW CASE. Todd Fox, student council president, dedicates the gift donated by the Senior Class on May 21 , before the senior party held in the cafeteria. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, The class of '87 makes it official - they are now AL alumni - by turning their tassels at the end of commencement exercises on June 22. Closing 205 WITH HER HANDS FULL, Kathy Kowal jumps off the ledge to tee pee another tree on campus. The seniors got together the night of May 21 to leave their mark on the school. SERVICE WITH A SMILE. Instructor Carol Tiller serves Chris Zimmerman a slice of cake at the senior party on May 21 . 206 Closing continued into the hills, but five unlucky students who didn't escape received citations for criminal mischief and had to clean up "the mess" under police supervision. Later, a few brave souls returned to redo what the police had made them tear down, and when people arrived at school on May 22, they were greeted with a message from the Class of '87 scrawled in black spray paint on the sidewalk of the building's north side, declaring, "No tears, no fears, tons of beers." "Tee peeing the school was our final fling as a class, our last chance to show our artistic ability," said James Hatcher '87. "It's great to show spirit that way, but when it turned into vandalism, like spray painting on the building and sidewalks, it defeated the purpose of good, clean fun.'' While seniors celebrated their last days, juniors and underclassmen faced the pressure of finals. Finally, two weeks later, they alleviated the pain of their last few days by letting out whoops of joy and stripping their lockers of papers, books, pictures of half nude bodies, and old jackets brought to school on cold mornings only to be discarded on hot afternoons. ''The last day of school is definitely my favorite day, and probably everyone else's, because it is such a relief," said Dan Dahir '90. "Everything is finally over. No more papers, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks - at least for the next three months.' ' So just as the year had flown, caps flew on June 2 and papers flew on June 4, signalling the end of one era while another waited to begin. With seniors looking forward to college, jobs, or families, and juniors and underclassmen looking forward to finishing their high school years, we knew we had learned a lesson for life in 1987 - if we worked with it, and not against it, pressure would get the best from us every time.

Just to get to school in the morning we had to make it over the biggest speed bumps we'd ever seen . Athletic teams made it to State, and academic teams made first place honors. The swing choir made it to Hollywood, and 125 students made it through the first year of A. P. classes . And after a long week of practicing, studying, competing, and working, most of us tried our best to make it to a party . We partied everywhere ... in basements, family rooms, garages, barns, fields, cars, backyards, and motel rooms. Wherever parties happened, we ate, drank, danced, relaxed, got crazy, and made lots of small talk. Gossip about who was going with who or who did what to get in trouble were the hottest topics, but we couldn't forget school, and it constantly crept into our conversation ... "How 'ya handling that A.P. chem class?" "Now that I'm not bustin' my butt for nothin' in football, I just might be able to swing a B this semester."

The 14 were enjoying an old fashioned slumber party at the home of Tammy Erwin '90. Although such parties were commonly called sleep-overs, little sleeping ever occurred. In fact, most party-goers found there was no way to avoid the craziest of activities. on the floor like a dog." But no matter how much they ate or how crazy they became, party-goers always had time for gossiping. "One night at my house when everyone was about to go to sleep," said Erwin, "someone mentioned their boyfriend and that was it - we had to gossip about everything and everybody!" Whether they were scary, funny, or sad, VCR movies were always a part of the slumber party fun. ~ "One night at a party we were playing charades," said Becky Ratashak '90. It was absolutely hilarious to see one of my friends ·crawling "Once I had a few of my friends over to watch movies on my VCR," said Cande Brown '90. "We watched Top Gun and kept rewinding it to the volleyball scene and drooling over Tom Cruise without his shirt on." "TRY TO ACCENT YOUR CHEEKS."

AAAHI Class parties give break to celebrate T he aroma of cookies, chips, and Pineapple Surprise floated through the air. Tiny lights illuminated the board filled with well-wishers' scribblings. French IV students had decorated the dreary classroom to surprise porn pon girl Lulu Drummond '89, before she took off to perform at the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii. After they stuffed themse lves, they gave Drummond a grass sk irt for her trip. Although the administration frowned on frolicking in the classroom, teachers and students occasionally found ways to party. Student Life Instructor Roger Kuhl's fourth hour government class got a party as a prize. After collecting 650 items for the food drive, the class was rewarded by the student council with pizzas. After the 30 students devoured 14 pizzas, they drew for walkmans, gift certificates, and free movie passes. "I loved the break and pizza," said Scott Sanders '89, "but the best part was free movie passes!" Another unique party was held just before Christmas in instructor Marsha Grandick's English class. Students were given five minutes to make up a story on a specified topic and act their stories out. Afterwards, they feasted on ham, chips, cookies, and candy. "Some stories were really off-the-wall, said Lori French '90. INDULGE! Food drive victors Mike Boyle, Rick Vandenburg, and Chris Caskey, from Roger Kuhl's government class celebrate their victory. The class donated 21 items per person. John Lieber wandered in to help finish off the pizza, which the student council provided to the first place class. I say Abe, you say Lynx; I say party, you say drinks. Although 87 out of 100 students polled said one of the first things that came to mind when they heard the word party was alcohol, a few students went out of their way to have parties without booze, and some found they could have a good time without drinking. In most cases, parents were unaware of the alcohol consumed at their teens' parties, but at one party, this wasn't the case. 11 A senior boy had a kegger, " said Bob Drummond '88. "His parents made everyone give up the ir car keys. To get your keys back, you had to pass a sobriety test given by the parents. If you failed, you didn't drive, and if you didn't give up your keys, you didn't get into the party. I thought it was pretty responsible of the parents.'' At a party held by some junior guys, security guards were provided to prevent minors from sneaking alcohol into the party. "I'll never forget the party I went to in Crescent," said Stacy Woods '88. "It seemed like everyone in Council Bluffs was planning on going to it. It started to rain, so I figured it would be cancelled, but I went anyway. When I stepped out of the car, I sank in about a foot of mud. ''There was a live band and everyone was either dancing, socializing, or going on hay-rack rides. There was no alcohol, and it was the best time I'd had in a long time, that is, until I had to wash my car.'' Every once in a while someone had a party with a different twist. At one noalcohol party, guests made pasta. "Amy Fenner (' 88) threw a party for the football players," said Brian Young '88. "We went to he r house afte r the game and helped make dinne r. We rolled out the dough and made all diffe re nt kinds of pasta and breadsticks. I thought it was more fun to make the food than to eat it!" Another booze free party was a "black and white" birthday celebration. "My parents rented the old YMCA for my 18th "SLOW DOWN, I CAN'T EA T THAT FAST!"

Parties 9 1 Some dare to differ 1 in a world of clones ~ o, we weren't factory produced, but from the looks of our hair styles, it seemed like we were. Almost everyone followed the trends. Of 80 girls polled, 53 said their hair was at least to their shoulders and mostly one length. Of 70 guys polled, 41 said their hair was short and straight. Even though the trends were strong, some dared to defy them. "I had always wanted to have bright red hair for fun," said Joni Johnson '89. "When I was in London, I decided to get it since styles were more advanced and the cost was less." Beth Ranney '88, adopteci her hairstyle for the fun of it. " I've learned it's more fun to look a little bizarre than to just go along with the trends," she said. "I am happier looking like I want to, instead of trying to .look like others." Because these people were different, they sometimes received ridicule from their peers. For example, Rick Rohrburg '88, was threatened because he wore his hair long. "Thirteen people wanted to fight me because of my hair," he said. "Once someone told me they were going to cut it off." Ranney said her hair, short in the back with long curly bangs, made others suspicious.

THREAD BARE· Despite holes in their clothes, guys don't shop 'til they drop Y ou searched your closet for something to wear, but most of your clothes were out of style, too small, or ragged. Visions of a trip to the nearest mall flooded your head. You thought of pushy sa lesmen, dingy dressing rooms, and scads of clothes you would have to try on. You didn't want to trudge around a mall for hours, but you were desperate. A lot of guys shared these sentiments, delaying shopping trips until their only alternative was wearing jockey shorts to school. "I try to stay away from shopping for clothes as long as I can," said Derek Bristol 1 0 Student Life '89. "I hate tromping around a guys' section of a store and being attacked by salesmen the minute I walk in the door." Some guys made the trip more bearable by taking a girlfriend. "Girls make the trip less boring and I want their opinion on c loth es I try on," sa id Corey Ranslem '88. Others went with parents, but the experience wasn't always enjoyable. "I don't like my parents going with me because we always disagree on clothing," said Steve Perry '89. "I only go with them because they have the money." Guys put off the trip as long as they could, but most eventually ventured out to update their wardrobes. "HMMMMM. DO I HAVE MATCHING PANTS?" Greg Blowers wonders as he and Dan Poulos shop for sweaters at Hal's in the Mall of the Bluffs.

In August, the stock market reached an all time high, and so did a few hemlines, but after Oct. 19 when the market took a nose dive, girls proved that old saying wrong by wearing more short skirts than ever. In fact, 73 of 100 girls said they preferred minis. "I love to wear short skirts because they' re cooler and more comfortable," said Heather Hough '89. ''Also, guys notice you more in a mini." Most guys did approve of the short skirts. "I like it when girls with nice legs wear short skirts because it gives you something to look at when "WHAT DO YA THINK?"

While relaxing in the library, Amy Wheeler enjoys the latest "ELLE." you're walking through the halls," said Randy Goeser '90. But some girls avoided the hiked hems for the sake of convenience. "I wear long skirts because getting up earlier to shave my legs when I want to wear a mini skirt is a hassle," said Kristi Kuper '91. "And it's a pain worrying about a perverted boy looking up my skirt.'' Some girls not only resisted the change but resented the pressure designers put on them. "I hate it that male designers make these short skirts for us to wear,'' said Vanessa Hansen '91. "I don't wear them because not everybody looks as good in them as the models who display them." Some girls skirted the whole skirt issue by wea r - ing pants. "Sometimes when I'm really tired or get up late," said Tonya Hauser '90, "I just throw on the first pair of sweats I find and go to school.'' Fashion 11 A s Chad Driscoll '90 stared at the empty school, an idea began io form in his head. He walked cautiously past the student parking lot toward the gym, making sure no one was around. He smiled as he thought of how many times he had wanted to do this and how he finally had his chance. At the top of the stairs outside the gym, he dropped his board to the pavement, hopped onto it, and took a deep breath. With the chopping of the wheels echoing in his ears, he bounced his way down the steps, kicking his board into the air several times and landing on it. When he hit bottom, he knew his mission had been accomplished. Like Driscoll, many hardcore skaters risked injury for the thrill of flying through the air and landing squarely on a narrow slab of wood atop four slick wheels. "It's a movement against gravity. When you skate, you get a natural high, and I like that feeling," said Scott York '89. Many skaters considered skateboarding a challenging sport. "It really gets my adrenaline goin' when I perform a new trick," said Todd Akers '89. "I'm always in competition with other skaters, and that helps motivate me to try harder things.'' While other athletes competed to win trophies, set season records, or gain 12 Student Life mention in the paper, skaters competed just to gain the knowledge that they were the best. "Competing is exciting because each time it's different, and your tricks become more advanced," said Akers. ''When someone else gets better, it becomes a challenge to beat them. Tricks that are neat like wall rides, are always harder because they involve difficult maneuvers.'' In striving to become better than the best, enthusiasts practiced everywhere, at schools, on downtown streets, and on neighborhood ramps. "I skate about four hours a day during the week and six hours a day on the weekends," said David Hovey '91. "I love it because I can cut loose and forget about everything else." While almost all skaters spent huge amounts of time on the sport, only a few were lucky enough to be able to spend lots of money on their boards. "I spent $80 on my board when I bought it from a friend," said Tony Cook '89. "At the time I didn't have the money to buy a new one that would cost about $130. Even though I got it used, I'm happy with the one I have." No matter what it cost, hardcore boarders skated to master tricks and achieve success. WHICH WAY IS UP?

Woicke took three years of flying lessons, including 20 hours with an instructor and 20 hours solo on routes ranging from 100 to 500 mil es. "The only time I was a little nervous was the first time I soloed," Woicke said, " but now it's just like driving a car." Although the pilot may not have been a bundle of nerves, the passengers had a few butterflies in their stomachs before the flight. "I was a little scared at first because I'd only flown once, and I didn't really remember what it was like," said Mary Gard '89, "but after we were up flying for a while, and we started looking at everything in Council Bluffs and Omaha, I really had a great time."

Like King, 25 of 100 students polled dieted to shed a few extra pounds. Some students who found dieting hard sought professional help. "At Gold's Gym they put me on a nutritional diet plan and evaluated my fitness level," said Toby Ball '90. "Then they set up an exercise program for the areas of my body that needed the most improvement." Seventy-five of 100 students said they regularly exercised to keep fit. "I run, do aerobics, and bike to keep my mind off school and other things," said Stacy Woods '88. Over 35 percent of the students said keeping in shape benefitted them athletically. Over the summer I lifted weights at Tee Jay,'' said Troy Gibler '91. "When football started, I was more prepared to handle the hard practices.''

BURNED OUT: Tobacco users struggle to break their habit I twas Friday, the fifth day since you quit smoking. The week was almost up and you'd resisted temptation. Then you heard a match strike, and you smelled the smoke. Your willpower weakened ... You had to have a drag. In a poll of 90 students, 31 said they used tobacco products and half of those said they had tried to quit but were unsuccessful. "I know it's a bad habit," said Lisa Davis '90, "but every time I think I have it kicked, one of my friends smokes and offers me one and I just can't resist. Even though most attempts to quit were unsuccessful, 80 percent of smokers agreed that starting was a big mistake. "It's addictive and can be fatal," said Tony Cook '89. "I've already noticed I cough more than I used to." Tobacco usage wasn't limited to smoking; chew, another popular vice, was used by 15 percent of students. "I started chewing about five years ago," said Rory Nihsen '90. "I thought it was cool. My friends did, so it was the 'in' thing." Like smokers, almost 95 percent of the chewers had tried to quit, but almost all were unsuccessful. Those who quit did it out of fear. 11 A lot of my friends were getting sores in their mouths," said Jason Eyre '89. "I'm lucky I haven't gotten sores yet.

In desperation, she grabbed the toothpaste and smeared it all over her face . She felt quite strange as she used the treatment for the next two nights, but when Monday came, he r face was completely clear. "I didn't think it would work," said Fiala. "I was afraid to try it because I thought I might break out even worse. I was glad it actually worked." Although most students used more conventional remedies, 78 of 94 polled said they tried many products before finding one that cleared their skin. "I've tried all kinds of medicine, but I prefer Strydex," said John Lee '90. "I wash my face two times a day, and since I've been doing this, my face has cleared, but I'm still not completely satisfied." For a few students with serious skin probl e ms, modern medicine supplied a miracle drug called Acutane. "My face was pretty bad," said Mike Housley '89. "Sometimes I didn't go to school because I didn't want people to see the way I looked. So I tried Acutane. While I was taking it, my skin dried out really bad and I got nose bleeds all the time.

"Since I was staying at a friend's house, I put the call off for as long as possible. I didn't sleep that night, but when I was ready to go home in the morning, I knew I had to call her to break the news.''

"I wanted to ask this girl to Homecoming. When I dialed her number, I felt like I was going to die, my heart was beating so hard," he said. No matter what the call was or how terrifying it seemed, most felt relieved afterwards. ''When I called to break up with my boyfriend, I felt really stupid and nervous," said Kim Shipley '90.

It worked! Like this girl, many students opted for a fake ID. Fortunately for them, ID's were easily obtained. For Jeff Kenkel '88, it was just a matter of borrowing his brother's birth certificate and dropping in at the Nebraska Driver License Station in Omaha. Other students found close friends or relatives who resembled them slightly and agreed to hand over their licenses. But having a fake ID wasn't smooth sailing. Apprehension interfered with the "easy life." One senior girl thought that since she had an ID, she needn't worry about people questioning her age. But much to her surprise, she was called on her bluff by a bouncer at a bar. Fearful after his threat to turn her in, the girl pleaded with him not to tell the authorities. "I begged and begged with him," she said. "I even lied to him and told him that my dad was the man that all the fake ID's were sent to and he would probably freak out and kill me.

Those who complained the most, though, were seniors who thought they should have no curfew when they turned the magical age of 18. "I feel that I'm old enough to have my curfew extended from the same one I had when I was a sophomore," said Jerry Cundiff '88, whose curfew was midnight.

"The thing that made me so angry was that my stepfather had bought his son the second pair of tennis shoes since school started, and then when he gave me the $10, he had the nerve to say he needed a payback," said the girl. "It was hard getting used to my mom's new husband, but after about two months, I felt like he was my real father," said a sophomore girl. For others, it was a real struggle to keep the peace, but they made the effort for the sake of their biological parent.

Gretchen Johnson '88, a born-again Christian, said many who think they are Christians might not be. "It's more than going to church on Sundays," she said. "It needs to be all or nothing for Christ." Living for Christ meant stud en ts had to make many changes in their lives. "I made my commitment on the Grace Church youth group's ski trip to Colorado," said Jeff Wall '88. "Since then, I've wanted to shout to the world that I'm a bornagain Christian. "I no longer cuss, I go out with girls who are Christians, and I try to be more positive." But changing didn't take the fun out of living. "You meet so many interesting people who share your feelings about God," said Wall, "and there are other fun things like Christian T AKIN' A BREAK.

You know I've seen a Iotta people walkin' round With tombstones in their eyes But the pusher don't care If you live or if you die. Like the group Steppenwolf sings, drug abuse had a few students seeing tombstones. But they realized that having control of their lives was more important than the high. "I was dropped from my freshman year without a job and nothing to do but party my head off,'' said Dan Winchester '90. "After finding me passed out in the bathroom, my mom took me to treatment. Now I have a 2.0 instead of .O!" Kicking any habit takes determination, but for those who were chemically dependent, treatment was the quickest and easiest start to staying sober. "There wasn't an opportunity to use, so the temptation wasn't there, and I could really concentrate on what was important to me," said Jason Schnoor '89, who had gone through treatment at Mercy Hospital. For others, however, treatment just wasn't enough. "I was a vegetable from doing pot, cocaine, P. C. P., and fifty hits of acid in about a year and a half. If I h adn't asked my parents for help, I would've died," said Kyle Himebaugh '88. "But when I was to leave treatment, I said to my counselor, 'I still don't know how to stay sober', and that's when I went to the halfway house (Progress Hall). "Thanks to my family, therapist, friends, and lots of prayers, I've been sober for nine months.'' But those who tried to quit without a support system endured a long, seemingly endless battle. "I started out with pot and alcohol in the fifth grade, and constantly searching for that eternal buzz, I ended up doing anything from acid to cocaine. /1 said Tom Clark '88. "I decided to quit in ninth grade because I was becoming brain dead. But I'm still 'quitting.' /1 Even those who had quit successfully knew they were never out of danger. "I just take it one day at a time." said Virginia Amsdan '89. "I know if I went back to my old habit just once, all my work would be shot to hell." Deciding to change may have been the most difficult choice these teens had ever made, but their lives were well worth the fight. You know I declare Total war On the pusher man.

But like it or not, Christmas time was on its way, bringing not only headaches and more relatives, but more spirit and surprises than we could have imagined.

Amy Wheeler '88, thought no one could ever fulfill her heart's desire because she had asked for a boyfriend.

The Foreign Exchange Club, sponsors of the Christmas Dance for 16 years, had put out 11 hours of manpower to transform the gym into the most elaborate winter wonderland ever. The enormous gym had been turned into a cozy dance hall by a white ceiling of plastic that loomed 15 feet above dancers' heads and was covered with 1500 floating balloons. Under the sky of rose, white and ice blue balloons, couples shuffled through a forest of fake snow, blue poinsettias, and decorated pines.

The prince and princess were finally announced, and Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You" was dedicated to their highnesses John Hiffernan '88, and Kelly Malskeit '88. Knowing there would be lots of presents to unwrap, parties to attend, hills to conquer at Mt. Cresent, and endless hours of T.V. t o watch, students left the dance, dedicating the next week and a half to their longawaited vacation . "The Friday after Christmas I had three friends spend the night," said Kim Dahlgaard '91. "We got up at noon the next day and spent almost all of our Christmas money at the Westroads. That night, we had more friends over and watched VCR movies until 4 a.m." Some students, however, chose to dedicate most of their vacation to a job or extracurricular activity. "I think I had two days off during the whole vacation. Between a couple of shopping trips to the Mall, I either had practice or games everyday," said Marsha Hoffman '88, " and the rest of the time, I worked on yearbook spreads and filled out college applications. There went my vacation." But for Hoffman and the rest of the girls' basketball team, the e xtra work was worth the effort. With only eight members of their team playing, the Lady Lynx battled it out with the number one nked team in Nebraska during the first round of the Metro Holiday Tournament Dec. 26.

An astonished crowd ambled back into the auditorium, forming little groups to try to figure out what had really happened. Each group had a different story, and expressions like "his appendix burst" and "he needs to see his psychiatrist!" exuded from each. Actually, Holmes had suffered from an attack of claustrophobia due to nerves and a boxed-in feeling in the lower part of the set. Although Holmes had played the part of Mr. Kraler, NAZI BRUTALITY. Gun in hand, Brad Heizer playfully threatens Eric Wyant with a toy gun, a prop for the play, before the Saturday performance. 3 2 Student Life Teri Fender '89, stood in for him and the show went on, for by this time, the cast was accustomed to facing problems as they came. "Theater is problem solving," said Stephen Brockway, drama coach. "Professionalism is shown in how performers solve problems, and these kids did that very well." The main problem they faced was losing four actors during six weeks of rehearsals. "We lost Mr. Frank, who was to be played by Astor Salcedo, because of basketball, and Mrs. Frank, who was to be played by Tanya Rocheleau, because of sickness," said Fender, who played Miep. "Plus the flu virus was going around, so a lot of us PUTTING ON A LIGHT TOUCH, Mike Gray applies his stage makeup in the stagecraft room, which was used for a dressing room, before the Saturday performance, Dec. 5. ingthem missed several rehearsals." The cast even considered postponement of the play. 11 After Astor left, we thought about postponing the show until March, when he could come back," said Mindy Brewer '88, who played Mrs. Van Daan. "But several of us had commitments later, so we decided to go ahead in December." Though problems persisted, the cast learned to cope. "I replaced Tanya, so I started about two weeks later than the others and I was having trouble memorizing my lines," said Jamie Weilage '89. "So a couple of weeks after I started, my mother began reading lines to me to help me memorize." Getting into character was especially difficult since the actors could hardly imagine the intense fear the Nazi Jews felt. "To get into character," said Eric Wyant '90, who played Mr. Frank, "we'd play no rock music before rehearsals. We called each other by the names of our characters and did the best we could to set the mood and personality for each other." Their hard work paid off. More than 240 people attended the intimate backstage performances. "I really enjoyed the show," said Katie McGuire '88. "It opened my eyes and made me see the sheer fright and suspense of Nazi Jews' everyday life." "MAY I HOLD THE KITTY?" As Anne, Dawn Shipley admires the cat in Travis Walker's arms.

"It must have taken at least 100 times before I got that word right," said Hoover. I .just could not say it. I still get teased about it." That evening in the choir room was representative of more than 40 nights of rehearsal. Because the unlucky THREE'S COMPANY when Lisa Hough, Kim Bass, and Molly Mortensen sing one of the chorus numbers in the aisle during dress re- hearsal. cast suffered uncontrollable setbacks, neither hard work nor talent alone could result in success. But a mixture of both, spiced generously with friendship and comraderie, resulted in a hit production which received a standing ovation at its Friday night performance. "All of us were really close anyway because of swing choir," said Shane Sanders '88. "But before rehearsals started, Mr. Brockway told us that for the sake of the musical, it was essential that any differences between us be put aside. After that, we realized how important it was to always try and get along." The cast members made costumes a group effort by holding a costume parade so that they could model their rainbow colored body suits, tinfoil robot costumes, and e __ oun ___ flouncy dresses. After the sh.ow, everyone made suggestions on how to - improve each costume. "The costume parade was a good tension breaker because all of us ended up teasing each other about the strange outfits we had dug up," said Jean Gibson '89. · But the production wasn't trouble free. Less than one week before opening night, anxiety replaced confidence when several leads caught colds, and Kim Capel '88, came down with laryngitis. "Luckily, Mr. Spann knew a doctor who could prescribe something," said Capel. "I would have felt horrible if I couldn't have done my part because they would have had to reblock the entire musical."

"I felt really discouraged after that, but they could have been worse," said Walker. "For every two people saying something rude, there were four people telling them to shut up!" Most members of the audience enjoyed the performance. "I thought the play was wonderful," said Heidi Sandy '90. The end was so emotional. I loved it!"

Yeah, PROM. " I know the thought had crossed my mind a few hundred times since Christmas dance, but I never had the nerve to say it. I mean I had a month, or about 800 hours to find a date and plan prom so it would be a cherished night I could tell my children about in 15 years." Planning seemed to be a vital part of prom festi vities, and although most couples had a general idea of what their evening would hold in store, details didn't work out as planned for many couples. "Everything was going to be perfect," said Windy Kennedy '89. "We were leaving at 5 p.m., going to Maxine's fo r dinn e r, going to the dance, and ending the evening at the post prom party. But then my date and I broke up a week before the prom, so I had to find a date and reorganize everything. In the end, it all worked out, but it was a lot of trouble." Individuals weren't the only ones who had trouble making plans. "It seemed like we spent hours going nowhere when we talked about decorating," said Bob Rhoades '89, chairman of the Junior Class decor at ions committee . "We didn't know exactly what we were doing until prom morning, and that didn't give us much time to get organized." Some members of the class had been busy for days making preparations for that final morning of decorating. They had been scouting nearby forests for small, similar . shaped trees. They cut them down, returned them to school, and painted them white.

"I swear I must have made 200 trips into the woods trying to find trees that were alike," said Junior Class president Richard Streepy '89. "It was a lot harder than I · thought it would be to cut down scrub brushes and make them look decent." Despite the problem of transporting the cement laden trees to the U.N.O . ballroom, the end product, an entry way of trees shimmering with pink cellophane bows and clear lights, was a sight most prom goers would always remember. "The trees were pretty original," said Nicole Askins '89. "I'd never seen anything like that done before. It reminded me of something in a fairytale scene." As for being unbelievable, the "Argyles" consisting of instructors Christine Wahl, Ron Lakatos, Roger Pierson, and Mike Tripp were the hit rom of post prom. "The red dresses, overstuffed chests, long black hair, and black shades made the group this year," said David Jones '88. "They were singing 'Stop in the Name of Love' and looked really fruity." Even though post prom was part of the plan for most couples, a few ventured out to their own after-prom party, but found they had more difficulties than they had counted on. "We went to our hotel room after dinner in order to drop off our clothes and things," said Debbie Dolezal '88, "but they kicked us out before we stepped in the door.

" Even those who had every detail worked out before prom still encountered last minute chaos. "Things were crazy at the last minute," said Cindy Juel '88. "Since we were taking a limo , we wanted to ha ve champagne, so my mom took me to find some nonalcoholic champagne. We never thought we'd have to drive all around Omaha and Council Bluffs to find it. But I had the best time, and any way, I guess little things like that make the evening so special." As for those who didn't find a date, the majority made other plans so they would have a special evening too. Since I didn't have a date, Rachel Ratigan ('89) and I went to Des Moines," said Brooke Ratley '89. "We went shopping and out for dinner at an expensive restaurant. It was fun because we didn't spend as much money as we would have in order to go to prom, and I got some new clothes. It would have been nice to go, but at least we didn't sit home feeling sorry for ourselves." Although Price didn't find a date, her evening wasn't a total loss. "I went to work prom night since everyone with a date had taken the evening off, and I was planning on going to post prom afterwards. Well, one of the guys I work with at Hy-Vee didn't have anything to do, so I asked him to come along. Not only did we go to post prom, but he asked me to go to his prom." So Price would experience all the hassles of programming a prom night afterall, and she would have a story to tell her children.

After all, people probably thought this class was too busy earning more than $764,000 in scholarships, spending almost 100,000 hours in extracurricular activities, and studying hard enough to have six valedictorians to think about planning - a mischievous, one-of-akind, crazy graduation. But classmates knew better as they lined up to march, clutching marbles and super balls in their hands. For the most part, graduation 1988 held more surprises and laughter than tears _ and sadness. Of course, there were a few wet eyes as the band played "Ponip and Circumstance" and as the choir sang " Don't Say Good-bye," but - almost unanimously, the Class of '88 was ready to rejoice. "The only time I cried was right after I marched in, and I thought of how at practice, Mr. Scheibeler had told us, 'Look around because this is probably the last time you'll see a lot of these people, said Jodi Potter '88. "That made me super sad, but other than that, I thought the ceremony was a blast! " Cheers erupted from the audience as symposium speaker Mindy Brewer '88, quoted lyrics like "We don't need no education" fro~ songs by Pink Floyd and Bono. Then during the awarding of diplomas, nearly 120 guys gave board member JoAnne Carrithers a marble with the right hand as they shook hands and accepted diplomas with the left. "It was a good thing I wore my blazer with pockets; I almost didn't because of the heat," said Carrithers. "Every time my pockets got ful_I, I just dumped the marbles into the diploma box. " Jon Leiber tried to give me a whole handful of them, so I just held my pocket out for him. "At the end, I wanted to get up and say, 'Congratulations to all the graduates and especially to all of those who lost their marbles!' I thought it was really funny! " Individuals' antics also livened up the ceremony. As Rick Rohrberg '88, sauntered up to receive his diploma, he made victory signs wit h his hands and let out one of his famous hallway screeches. Near the end, the Senior Class played graduation volleyball with beach balls. "Troy Spencer and I had them in our pockets du ring the ceremony," said Jerry Cundiff '88.

"We wanted students to realize how important the signing of the Constitution was and be able to look back in 20 years and remember the bicentennial," said Dennis Devault, social studies lead teacher. Teachers weren't the only contributors to the all-school assembly. Beth Tangeman '89, gave a speech on how the Constitution affects students' daily lives, and Lisa Koenig '89, read the Preamble. "I was nervous about reading my speechinfrontofeveryone, but I wanted to be part of Constitution Day," said Tangeman. The student council held a SO-foot flag while the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Several members then folded the flag, and president John Hiffernan '88, carried it out of the gym. "Scott (Sanders '89) showed us how to fold the flag, so we weren't scared to do it," said Rick Vandenburg '89. To liven up the assembly, local attorney Dean Jennings stood in front of the school, pulled an extra -1 a r g e pair of bright red sunglasses out of his suit pocket, began to snap his fingers, and sang the "Constitution Rap." "He was funny," said John Olmstead '90, and that helped break the monotony." "I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE." Student council members hold the flag during Constitution activities in the gym.

Students hope summit improves relations II I have felt that our people should have been better friends long ago," said Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to President Ronald Reagan at the summit to ban long range nuclear weapons in Dec. Many students felt relations between the Soviet Union and the United States would improve with the signing of the treaty, which elimi4 2 Fall Semester nated 50 percent of the long range missles. "I think it's good the two countries are finally getting togethe r," said Kathy Theulen '89. "Now maybe they'll think we are more willing to make deals. Maybe someday we will even forget nuclear bombs ever existed." Even though most students agreed, some felt relations would never improve. "It doesn't matter what we do," said Mike Hale '88. "Even if we get rid of the ICBM's, we still have other areas we will never agree on, such as Jiuman rights." Whether students agreed or disagreed with the signing of the treaty , they hoped, tensions between the two nations would ease. Lepley leaves for state job T rying to imagine Superintendent William Lepley in a cheerleading uniform was hard, but before he left Council Bluffs in March to head the Iowa Department of Education, Lepley said that in his new job he would be the best cheerleader Council Bluffs has ever had. After accepting the . new job in December, Lepley said he was first contacted about it a year earlier. "The governor contacted me last May," he said. "I told him I wasn't sure I wanted to move from my position to a role in the state." Lepley accepted the job on the second offer for several reasons. "I think you only go around once in life, and if you want to make a difference, you have to take chances," Lepley said. "Also, the governor made a commitment to improve the salary." Lepley accomplished many things he was proud of during his five years in Council Bluffs. "We established trust between management and teachers and between teachers and the community," Lepley said .

Although students with investor parents didn't panic, they were frightened by the effects the stock market drop could have on them. "It was sc a ry to wake up one morning and find out my coll ege mon ey was gone," said Toby Ball '90. Even though his parents lost money in the stock crash, Mike Moa ts ' 89 , wasn't concerned.

" Mini-Gazette 4 3 Few seniors attend caucuses I n 1971, Congress gave 18-year-olds the right to vote, but on Feb. 8 at the Iowa caucuses, most students chose not to get involved. . In a poll of 100 seniors, only 12 percent said they planned to attend the caucuses. According to instructor David Tobias, this was not unusual for 18 to 20 year-olds. "It's not a high priority for them," said Tobias. "They have other things to do; it's their time to have fun. They also don't have as much at stake; they aren't taxpayers or home owners and they don't have families. It may be adults' fault for not involving them enough in politics." Students also showed on the poll that they lacked knowledge about the presidential candidates. Although 71 percent could name nine of the 13 candidates' parties, only 12 percent could match correct backgrounds and policies with at least nine of the candidates. While most seniors chose not to attend a caucus, those who did found it a rewarding experience. Emily Wilmarth '88, and Jeff Kenkel '88, attended a caucus in support of Senator Paul Simon. "I think Simon is really intelligent," said Wilmarth. "I believe in his policies and I like what I've heard him say." At the Democratic caucus, participants presented resolutions for a platform to be voted on at the county convention, ilnd then split into groups supporting the candidates. If a candidate didn't have at least 15 percent of those attending, he was disq ual if ied and all of his supporters either voted undecided or for another candidate. By evening's end, Richard Gephardt Court zaps students rights II I t only proves to me that the Constitution is just another piece of paper with eraser marks." This is what one student journalist had to say about the Supreme Court ruling for t he school board in the Hazelwood vs. Kuhlmeier case o n Jan. 13. Th e Kuhlm e ier case began in 1983 when the Haz e lwood, MO East High Sch o o l newspaper, the Spectrum, tri ed to run two articl es dealing w ith teen pregnancy and d ivorce. Principa l Robert Reynolds refused to allow the articles, saying they could be damaging to students quoted in the stories. Three student writers took the principal and school board to court, claiming First Amendment rights had been violated . The students lost the first court battle in a federal trial but appealed and had the de cision overturned in the 8th U.S. Circuit of Appeals. The school boa rd then took the case to the Supreme Court. 44 Spring Semester Students everywhere mourned the 5-3 decision for the board, and within 11 weeks, they discovered its far reaching affects. The Omaha World Herald reported in March that in Florida, Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale," was censored; in New York, a student' story for a literary magazine was deleted; and in Nevada, a satirical art project was re moved from display. Yet, Mindy Brewer ' 88, editor-in -chief of the Echoe s, said was the winner, followed by Simon, Mike Dukakis and Jesse Jackson. At the Republican caucus, a straw poll was held to elect the state caucus winner . Julie Rhoades '88, put her support behind Pete DuPont, who finished fifth behind Bob Dole, Pat Robertson, George Bush, and Jack Kemp. "I wasn't happy by the turnout," said Rhoades. "I feel DuPont could have campaigned more in Iowa. Ironically, he won in our precinct. Our results were totally different from those at the state level." the decision probably would not effect Al's journalism department. "I don't think Dr. Frick would censor the Echoes," she said. "He has always cooperated with and supported us. "It would really drive me crazy to have my rights LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTl ON.

Americans suffer Olympic-sized heart breaks A11 guts, and no glory was the theme of the Winter Olympics for the U.S. Two of America's top young athletes, speed skater Dan Jansen and figure skater Debbie Thomas, suffered big heart breaks. Due to his sister's death the day before, Jansen fell in two races. Thomas was the United States' last chance to capture another gold. The shock came when Thomas, who led after the short program, lost the gold to East Germany's Katerina Witt and the silver to Canada's Elizabeth Manley. "I couldn't believe Debbie fell twice in the long program," said Krissy Love '89. "I wanted to cry." As the games ended, U.S. favorites were skaters Bonnie Blair and Brian Boitano. Blair not only won a gold in speed skating; she did it in world record time. Boitano thrilled fans with a flawless program to edge Brian Orser of Canada for the gold. One foursome from AL was lucky enough to venture to Calgary. Chris Smith '88, Chris Caskey '89, Jim Bever '90, and Brian Harmon '89, watched 90-meter ski jumping and hockey.

The bewildered vocalists stared at the faces of their parents, wondering what they were doing there and what was going on. Tim Anderson opened envelope number 1. "Dear Mr. Spann . . . "Number 2 continued building suspense with the next few words of the letter, and the process moved down the line.

Then Amy Fenner's parents, owners Young Americans National Invitational Performance Choir Festival on Apr. 23. But visions of the glamorous life in Hollywood fogged a bit when Spann told the group the unfathomable sum of money needed to make the trip. Twenty-two thousand dollars isn't easy to come by, and as soon as Spann and the ambitious committee of parents secured the school board's permission, the seven-month crusade to raise the money began. The parent committee arranged for foundations to give grants, corporate sponsors to give donations, Booster Club to sell pizzas, and practically everyone to sell raffle tickets for a Honda Civic, a skiing trip to Colorado, and a color T.V. of The Pasta Shop, catered an Italian dinner for nearly 600 people on Jan. 30, and made a profit of $2,629. Booster Club's pizza sales made $205, a garage _ sale netted $232, an auction made $280, and $8390 came in as donations. But when the group organized a basketball game between Hawkeye football players and southwest Iowa personalities, only 400 of 5000 expected fans showed up, and the choirs lost $395. "I think we needed more advertising," said Jeff Brown's mother, Mary, who kept meticulous records of the group's money." Also, it was the Sunday before the state basketball game.

Choir 49 Continued Despite the setback, the group managed to raise over $18,000. In addition to raking in the bucks, vocalists spent time memorizing songs and perfecting dance steps. Although the performances seemed effortless, a single song was often practiced 15 times in one night, and then rehearsed class after class, night after night, and month after month. "Our choreographer, John Gibson, would have a picture in his mind of how each dance should look, and it got frustrating when we didn't see the same picture," said Te na Nelson '90. "But we always did make it work." The diligence paid off when choirs earned record ratings at the state level. At the state contest on Jan. 30, New Design recei ved a I rating; at the small group contest on Mar. 26, singers received 22 I ratin gs; and at large group contest on May 6, the boys', girls', and mixed choirs all re ce ived I ratings.

Each choir could present a show between 6 V2 and 8 minutes long with 30 seconds of acappella singing. New Design members said it was their best performance ever, and although they didn't bring home an award, they brought back invaluabl e insights. "I've never seen or heard so much talent.

As Steve Perry '89, rose to his feet, his blood rose to his face. "I was absolutely embarrassed," said Perry. "It was time for my solo and I started to march backwards, away from the home stands, when I stepped on the ankle of the person behind me. After that, I lost my balance, and before I knew it, I was on the ground and no one was playing a solo." Although Perry's fall was humiliating, he and other band members had no more humiliating experiences as they worked and sacrificed to achieve suecess.

"First it was the wrong shape, then too gray and out of focus. I wanted to cry, but I knew it was my fault and people were counting on me, so I didn't YEARBOOK.

Such a night, filled with frustration and fun , was typical of Echoes worknights and of the staff's year. Frustration was usually the result of procrastination, editors said. "Whe n we procrastinate, the whole process slows down," said Angel Pazzi '89. "People wait 'til the last minute to type stories, layout gets de layed, eve rything gets rushed and scary, and we get frustrated."

"There's a lot of pe rsonal satisfaction in seeing a good story in print, but winning an award makes it particularly satisfying." Altogether the staff earned 37 national, state, and local awards for writing, photography, art, and de sign, including its fi rst CSP A's Silver Crown, putting the pape r among the natio n's top 40.

She would point to all the different colors and tell me what they were. It was a fascinating experj ence." Like Pechacek, many members of service clubs gained special memories from their group's activities.

"My biggest moment this year was folding the flag on Constitution Day," said Scott Sanders '89, executive treasurer. " I felt honored and thrilled being able to do that while everyone in the school was watching me. It was a oncein-a-lifetime chance." Foreign Exchange Club members also had a year to remember. While planning the Christmas Dance, they faced continual problems, including lack of money. Then once Dec. 19 rolled around, fewer than 15 people showed up to decorate. Yet, the small group worked hard to achieve a "Big Chill" mood, hanging icicles around the doorways, flocking three Christmas trees, sprinkling artificial snow on the floor, looking Christmas dances ever. "All day while we were decorating I was upset because nothing was going right," said Michelle Stone '88. "But once I got to the dance that night, I realized how perfect everything looked and forgot about all the little horrible things that happened." Another service group that felt its efforts were worthwhile was National Honor Society. To have its annual induction ceremony, members spent after-school time working in committees to finish collecting new inductee information, writing speeches, gathering a resume on each of the Hall of Fame inductees, and sending invitations. "Michelle (Stone) and I spent a lot of time writing the resumes for the new inductees," said Molly Swank '88. "While (continued on page 65) NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

Key Club members kept busy and gained memories all year by publishing a school phone book, organizing Teacher Appreciation Week, ice skating at Ak-Sar-Ben, and selling St. Patrick's Day flowers to raise money for conventions. "The best part this year was being elected governor of Nebraska and Iowa. After the election, a whole roomful of people gave me a standing ovation," said Corey Ranslem '88. "I also got to travel to Philadelphia, PA and Anaheim, CA for conventions." In yet another service group, different kinds of memories were gained. "OKAY, I THINK l'VE GOT IT NOW!" Finally understanding, Adrian Hoag works on an algebra assignment with Bill White's help. White and other NHS members tutored every morning at 7:30. Members of the Leadership Academy attended weekly meetings where-the.y learned principles and techniques of leadership. "I really learned how to be a positive leader," said Jennifer Sherman '90. "Mr. Brockway taught us that having the right attitude and self-esteem goes into being a good leader. If I ever get involved in leadership in the future, I will remember the principles he taught us." An often unnoticed club was Courtesy Club. These members attended open houses and graduation to pass out programs and serve as ushers and guides. "It takes a lot, but it's worthwhile if a parent or someone finds us helpful and appreciates us," said Becky Olsen '88. "That's all we're really here for." The members of service-oriented groups unselfishly gave of themselves and their time to help others. They gladly offered this help without expecting anything in return. After all the hard work was done, though, service club members were rewarded with special and unforgettable memories bound to stay with them forever. FUTURE LEADER.

After Districts, members competed at State where three people qualified for Nationals. who attended the Central Regional Leadership Conference. Along with learning about upcoming competitions, the nine DECA members had two days and nights of fun in Chicago. President Connie Boyd '88, remembered a hilarious incident in which members escaped the monotony of daily meetings. "Because we had so many guys, they had to get adjoining rooms," she said.

Lischka Gearhart '88 ''My brother begged for a crust of bread to be initiated. They went to some house, he stood on the stoop, used his sad, puppydog eyes, and told the story about his poor family.'' "They count the grades differently over there. Instead of going from first grade to twelfth, they go from twelfth to first. Actually, French teenagers are almost like us. They listen to rock music, get together with friends, and go to McDonald's. Just another half hour, right after dinner (liver and onion soup), and they'd be plopping down on their bean bags, feasting their an xious eyes on the main attraction of the evening - Carl Sagan's weekly program. Intriguing as this may sound, this scene was left in the Sixties, for in 1988, modern day academic club members in foreign language and the Brain Bowl found more interesting ways to reinforce what they learned in class. For instance, in French Club, members got a sampling of France's culture via their taste buds. "For the Christmas party, we had peppered beef roast, plain lace salad, cheese, cauliflower, scalloped potatoes, French bread, and grape juice," said • CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

"I really enjoyed the evening; the food was really good, I had fun decorating beforehand, and it gave me a chance to learn more about French culture. "In France, the meal is very important. They get two hours off from school to go home and eat lunch because their normal meal takes from an hour and a half to two hours." Andrea Ellingsen '89, also benefited from the Christmas party. "We each brought a French dish so we got to taste French food," said Ellingsen. "It made the culture a lot more interesting, especially to hear Doreen, the foreign exchange student from France, talk about teen lifestyle. Listening to Doreen made everything we learned in class seem more real." German Club also strengthened classroom learning. For initiation, new members could speak only German for a half-hour, or else face the consequences. If they slipped up, old members mercilessly fed them caramel-covered onions. "Scott Wheeler had to eat six caramel-covered onions, or it may have been more, I'm not sure," said Lischka Gearhart '88. (continued on page 71) CAREFUL!

Teammates for the Brain Bowl, a radio quiz show sponsored by KMA, got together after school to play Trivial Pursuit and eventually took first place in competition. "It always ends up the same," said Mike Cooper '89. " Mr. Brown will ask a question from the cards and Kevin (Marsh) will answer it. Then Mr. Brown spouts questions off the top of his head to stump Kevin, and pretty soon it ends up in a heated argument."

Were they FBI agents investigating a crime? No, they were students and teachers who broke the budget cut barrier that had limited spending on field trips in 1988. Despite tight money, they ventured out to get first hand knowledge on subjects studied in class. One such group was instructor Roger Pearson's retailing class, which traveled to the Mall of the Bluffs to get tips from managers on advertising and marketing. "We learned things that made me see the mall differently. We learned about Christmas decorating, leasing procedures, and advertising promotions," said Tyler French '89. "It wasn't your ave rage field trip because we went to a place we knew and learned new things about it." Instructor Larry Brown's economics class trave led further away to the Pe ter Ki ewitt Ce nte r in Omaha to study the business world. "We competed against other teams to see who could make the most profit developing, researching, and marketing prod ucts in a compute r simulation .

"We got to tour the maternity ward. It was really neat!," said Stacey Yeoman '89. "I work up at the hospital, but I learned things I never knew. I had never seen a baby born until I watched it on film that day." Instructor Julie Babbit's Career Health class also went to the hospital to learn about lab work. "We saw how lab technicians test blood, count blood cells, and work the blood bank," said Nancy Conway '89. "When I make up my mind on what I want to do, I'll keep what I learned in mind." Conway wasn't the only one who got career ideas from a field trip. While studying The Miracle Worker, instructors Jacque Hall and Geri Livermore took their Honors English classes to Iowa School of the Deaf to gain a better understanding of deaf education, and a few students began to consider deaf education as a career. "Some friends and I are going back just to learn more," said Melanie Freed '91. "I knew I wanted to be a teacher I but now I know I want to teach the blind and deaf.

'' Odd numbers had girl egg babies, even numbers had boys, and certain numbers had twin or triplets. Kris Weaver '89 '' akin it becomes one way students learn and have fun during classes L ittle boys pretended to be race car drivers pushing tiny match boxes around the room, while girls raided Mommy's closet for high heels and clothes to wear while caring for their favorite dollies. Just as children used their imagination for learning and fun, students found pretending important for learning and loosening up in the classroom. Students in instructor Patti Ford's Child Care class, for example, learned to care for delicate egg babies instead of tattered dolls. "We drew numbers to determine sex," said Kris Weaver '89. "Odd numbers had girl egg babies, even numbers had boys, and certain numbers had twins or triplets." Before the babies were born, students recorded in a journal what women went through during pregnancy and made financial plans for the birth. Everyday, Ford checked the eggs for her name stamp and rolled the eggs on a desk to make sure students hadn't hardboiled them. Because Ford tried to make caring for egg babies as similar as possible to caring for children, students had to suffer the consequences if their eggs were lost, broken, or stolen. One poor student, Michelle Bartlett '88, lost one of her triplets. "When I was getting out of the car, Ashley fell and broke," said Bartlett. " I had to call the fun e ral home for the cost of an infant's casket, and then I recorded the information in my journal." Social Studies classes also role played. In instructor Sidney Klopper's govern - ment class, students participated in a mock election in which they campaigned for office by giving speeches on world problems and voting for the mock candidate of their choice. In another class, students invested in the stock market with paper money. "We started with $900 and investe d in whatever we wanted for $10 a share ," said Jason Evans '91 . "Everyday Mr. Klopper told us whether our stock went up or down. I ended up with only $75, so I didn't do too well, but it was fun." Most of the time students learned new information and skills through role playing, but in speech class, they pretended just for the sake of loosening up. "We got into groups an d prete nded to be a machine by attachi ng ourselves toge ther and moving our bod ies in different directions," said Tim Blair '90. Students also had fun pretending during pantomines in instructor Marsha Grandick's speech class. " Ours was really fun ny. We pretended we were fish ing," said Dan Fichter '90. "We acted like we were drink ing bee r an d hooke d each other in the heads when we casted out our lines." Whe ther practicing for parenthood or acting out a crazy fishing trip, stude nts benefited from pretending in the classroom. '' In psych, Mr. Willard will suddenly start yelling and hitting the tables to get his point across. Aliso~ Brown '90 '' Chalk tall~ : reqmres a few special techniques to keep students' attention ''I·. n the middle of a lecture, he'll draw a red dot on the overhead, go up so it looks like it's on his forehead and say, 'Hey, like it? It's calle d the Gorbachev look," said Curt Hutchinson '88, about Ron Lakatos, computer programming instructor. "He will do the weirdest things to keep our attention." Although they could be dreary and dull, lectures were made bearable, even spell-binding, by effective techniques and fasc inating subject matter. "Mr. Willard is so interesting to listen to and watch in psych," said Alison Brown '90 . " He is always walking around the room, and he'll be just talking wl:ien suddenly, he'll start yelling and hitting the tables to get his point across." Chemistry was also made easie r by instructor Dennis Schmoker's lecturing tech niques. " Mr. Schmoke r always uses the overhead, which makes it easie r for us to take notes than if he was just rattling o n," said Andrea Ellingsen '89. According to a poll of 60 stude nts, important factors whe n a teacher lectured included moving about the room, varying speaking tone, and showing e njoyment in presenting the lecture, and injecting humor. Sometimes, though, the subject matter alone kept students from daydreaming in class. In Larry Kenny's social studies classes, his students stayed awake listening to gruesome stories of medieval torture. "His lecture on the persecution of people was really eye-opening," said Janelle Misner '90. "We talked about people being hanged by their thumbs, thumb screws that were twisted until the knuckles broke, and drawing and quartering." When a guest speaker came into a classroom, students liked to hear about real life experiences. For example, when counselor Barry Coates talked about study habits in the underclass honors English classes, students liste ne d eagerly to tales of his high school days. "Mr. Coates had the same problems then that we have now," said David Gaupp '91, "He didn't like doing his work and was always getting in trouble. Half the people in my English class are like that, too." The American Government class also heard ancedotes from one man's life. " Officer McGlade of the police department came to talk about his job and told us about things that really happened to him," said Brad He izer '89. "When he was telling us about criminals trying to bribe him and how the police set up roadblocks for curfew, I knew for sure that I wanted to go into law enforceme nt." Whethe r they use d an explanatory lecture or told stories from the past, teachers and guest speakers opened the ears and minds of students through the .power of the spoken word.

Shelly Ferris '90 '' have fun, cut stress, and learn how to cooperate with others Y ou could find them everywhere, in English, science, journalism, and home economics. They came in groups of three or four. Sometimes, they got a little noisy, but most of the time, they were productive. They were groups of students who worked on critiquing each others' stories, making a Thanksgiving turkey, dissecting pigs, or researching people from ancient civilizations. Doing work in groups often made class time more enjoyable. "In Foods class we always baked in grot1ps. We usually got to pick our fri e nds so it was fun," said Shelly Ferris '90. "Sometimes we eve n ended up in a food fight until Mrs. Tangeman realize d what a mess we had made." Home economics wasn't the only class in which groups of students had fun with food. "In English, we had to do a project a b o u t t h e G ree ks," said Mich e ll e Hughes '88. "My group mad e an amphithe ate r out of graham crackers, M&M's, Marshmallows, peanut butter, and toothpicks. Eve n though it took a lot of work, it was fun ." Eve n mo re stressful assignm e nts co uld be fun whe n wo rking in groups. "In World History, our class split into two groups. O ne had to research the patricians, and the othe r had to resear c h the p le bi ans. We found out things like the ir occupatio ns, clothing IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE DESIGN, journalism students Clayton Westervelt, David Gaupp and Mike Merit hunt through magazines for photographs and copy. and hairstyles, religions, and homelife," said Jennifer Sherman '90, "After we finished, each group presented its information in front of the class. It made the presentation a lot easier knowing I had my classmates up there with me in case I forgot what I was saying." An added benefit to working in groups was that students learned how to cooperate with other people. "When we first started working in writing groups in journalism, my group argued all of the time," said John McCoy '89, "but after a while we learned to be more accepting of other people's ideas. I was used to doing things my own way, but I found out I had to make compromises like everybody else." Though group work was beneficial to students, it sometimes had drawbacks, es pe cially wh e n workloads wer e n't shared evenly. " In physics labs we have one person in charge, one recording, and one helping out," said Lisa Menuey '88. " Sometimes one pe rson e nds up doing all the work, but all three get the same grade. I don't think it's fair." Although group work could have its drawbacks, stude nts found it enjoyable, le ss stressful, and more be ne fi c ial than working alo ne.

Tammy Rae '90 '' etrified Speeches, solos, and lci.bs cause in-class jitters, silent suffering S ome students had all the symptoms: dialated blood vessels, perspiration, loss of eye contact, and occasional queasiness. It wasn't a contagious disease or a simple case of influenza; they suffered from the side effects of uneasiness in the classroom. Several classes were a source of pins and needles. The most common "fatal" assignments were speeches, lab experiments, solo musical performances, a turn at the wheel, and oral translation. For the 308 students enrolled in foreign language classes, oral translation was the major source of stress. "I could feel the sweat begin to run down my back and my palms get clammy," said Kelly Halsted '88. "My mind raced as I looked at the exercises. I was lost. Who remembers ve rb tenses on a Monday morning? "I tried to duck behind the person in front of me, but that seemed to give Mrs. Bowman a hint that I wasn't ready to translate . I was so ne rvous I didn't know what I was thinking or saying." Like translations, speeches caused trauma for more students as oral communication entered its second year as a required course for all sophomores. " I had to give an impromptu speech," said Candice Reynolds '90. I drew blowdrye rs, of all topi cs. When I was up in "OH MY GOD, I SHOULD HAVE STUDIED MORE!" David Porter thinks as he looks at a final in World History. Porter had studied for two hours, and received a "D". front of everyone, my mind we nt blank and I didn't know what to say. My five minute impromptu was more like five seconds." Getting up in front of a group brought butterflies to musicians as well. "I hate it whe n I have to do a trumpet solo," said Matt Moline '88, "because I'm up there alone, and if I make a mistake, I feel like every ear in the place hears my mistake." Unlike music, science was required, and although most students could escape doing solos, labs were part of the curriculum for everyone. For many, the complexity and preciseness of labs made them dreaded assignments. " I don't like to do physics labs," said Jim Mathisse n '89, "because the directions seem to be easy the day before the experiment, but if you make a slight error, the whole experiment can be wasted. Once I used one rubber band on a lab cart instead of two, and I had to redo the e ntire data table. A few found settling in behind the driver's seat for the first time a nerveracking experience. "My grade is really bad in driver's e d," said Tammy Rae '90. "I was super nervous the first time I had to drive because I was afraid I was going to get in an accident. The hardest thing for me to do is to stay on the road." Most cases of in-class jitters weren't serious, and in the lo ng run, most students learned to cope with their anxietie s. '' When it came to formulas 1 I visualized the geometric shape as the mother and the formula as the baby. Teresa Spencer '90. '' ind helps learners memorize everything from trig functions to vocabulary C ah, Soh, Toa, Cah, Soh, Toa. No, these weren't the chants of an Indian rain dance; they were junior Jason Bowman's inventive way of memorizing the trig functions of cosine, sine, and tangent. "Cah meant cosine was the adjecent side of a triangle divided by the hypotenuse, soh meant sine was the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse, and toa meant the tangent was the opposite side divided by the adjacent," said Bowman. "If I hadn't thought of that method, I would have flunked trig." Since most students dreaded memorizing, they and their teachers searched constantly for ways to make memorization less boring and more effective. In English instructor Mike Tripp's honors class, for example, students played a version of Trivial Pursuit in which they used the regular game board but categories based on units they were studying. "Trivial Pursuit was a great way to help us memorize authors, terms, and poetry forms," said Darren DeRoos '89. "During the entire game, other teams were trying to distract you from the answers, and you wanted to get the question right, so you sat there and really thought of the answer." French instructor L'louise Bowman took a game to the blackboard and made it scary. In Dunce of the Day, a row of students raced to write down the word which Bowman said. The fastest down and then another student stood up until everyone in the class had stood at the board. The last student left at the board was crowned Dunce of the Day. "Going up to the board to play Dunce of the Day helped _me memorize my French words," said Adrian Hoag '89. "I didn't want to be Dunce so I looked over my words until I memorized them." In a random poll of 30 students, more than half said math formulas were the most difficult memory assignment, so some frustrated students created their own memory games outside class. "When it came to formulas, I visualized the geometric shape as the mother and the formulas as the baby," said Teresa Spencer '90. "This helped, for whenever I saw the figure, I saw it holding its baby, which was the formula." One student ever tried inflicting pain on herself to make her memory work. "I was close to failing keyboarding because I was always looking at the keys," said Pam Traylor '91 . "So I had someone loosely blindfold me. Then every time I hit a wrong key, they would tie the blindfold even tighter. I eventually memorized the keys and my grade came up." Because memories sometimes suffered gaps, students and teachers searched for more effective ways to memorize the hundreds of facts, formulas, and words that had to be mastered.

'' I took media because I hope to become a broadcast journalist and it would be good training. Dale Messerly 'BB '' ti has students leaving books behind for valuable hands-on learning '' S itting in class, you never realize that you've learned something," said Dan Woicke '88. "Ned Greer and I went to our grade school to do a chemical reaction experiment for AP chemistry with the sixth grade class. "I wasn't sure we knew what we were doing, but we set up the equipment, explained the lab, and everything worked out great. That's when I found out how much Mrs. Fink taught us." Like Woicke, many students enjoyed hands-on learning experiences, surprising themselves by how much they knew, and realizing the tangible benefits of their studies. Some students realized immediate practical uses. "In Commercial Art, Mr. Holmes told us to do art for a book called Writing by Iowa Students," said JaNean Mattes '88. "To shade my pictures, I used a method called stippling, which is shading with dots. Then I used it in my business, The Artworks. I make signs for businesses and used stippling on the ad I did for Best Western's Valentine's Day Special. II Although not all students could put their practical knowledge to use immediately, most knew their hands-on experiences would be beneficial in the job marke t someday. "I took media because I hope to become a broadcast journalist, and I thought it wou ld be good training," said Da le Messe rly '88. "Dir e cting the March edition of the AL Insider was probably the most important project I did. I had to concentrate on all camera angles possible to get the best shot." Even those who were unsure of their future careers realized their hands-on classes cou.ld be helpful in any job. "Each time I had to do a new isometric drawing in drafting, I found other ways to be creative while following directions," said Fred Welsh '90. "I'm not positive about what I want to do for a living, but I know creativity and listening to orders is important in every career." A new class, Principles of Technology, which didn't have all the necessary lab equipment, prepared students for life's unpredictable moments. According to instructor Gene Jeppesen, the course was geared toward juniors and seniors interested in vocational-technical careers. "We get a solid background in the theory behind why something works. We set up labs dealing with fluid, mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems," said Kevin Wright '88. "Because it's a new class and all the equipment didn't arrive, we always have to improvise, borrowing batteries and things from other classes or just substituting one thing for another.

'' I always tell one of my teachers he looks nice even though his colors don't coordinate. Ericka Wellman '91 '' will get you everywhere when you ' re an expert brownnoser I t is despised by some but useful to others. It comes in the form of flirts, favors, and friendliness. It's prey are the gullible and naive. It is defined as kissing the hinder parts of the person from whom advancement is sought. In simpler form, it is brownnosing - and some students were experts at its technique. Of 65 students polled, 24 said they brownnosed to get good grades. "When I took geometry, I always talked to my teacher about his grandchildren or anything else that came up," said Christie Poe '88. "I ended up getting an A in there although I definitely should have gotten a C or D." Others used brownnosing to gain special favors. "In study hall, I talk to my teacher mostly about how rowdy everybody else is, but I talk to him about other t hings, too," said Jennie Brus '90. "He likes me because I am so nice to him. I get to move around and talk to people much longer than he allows anyone else." Technique was important to students who wanted to get something for nothing. Like Poe and Brus, most said appearing to be interested during lectures and conversations worked best, but others sa id flattery worked well too. "I always te ll o ne of my teachers he looks nice even though his colors don't coordi nate ," sa id Ericka Wellman '91. "I do it only because I'm not doing well in his class." But some students accused of brownnosing said they were not trying to manipulate their victims. "When I'm nice to teachers and talk with them, I'm nothing thinking of the advantages," said Cory Ranslem '88. "I talk to them because it's easy to carry on an intelligent discussion with most of them. Besides, I'm usually considerate to my teachers. It's just the way I am." Robb Traylor '89, had homework in mind when he talked to his teacher. "I always talk to Mrs. Bowman about our trip to France," he said. "I'm not brownnosing at all. I am just trying to • get her off the track so we don't have enough time in the period to do everything she had planned." Students who brownnosed often thought they were fooling their teachers, but teachers were smarter than most students thought. "I realize it when a student brownnoses me," said home economics instructor Nancy Tangeman. "I think it is funny, so I play along with them. Anyway, I grade on percentages, not how : nice someone is to me." Although a majority of the students brownnosed, some still preferred to earn their keep. "I earn what I get," said Tom Clark '88. "I don't need any of that phony bmwnnosing to get me more than I deserve in my classes." CLEANING UP AFTER HOURS.

"They're a group of real winners, maybe not in the record book, but in their hearts. They've never given up!" It might have surprised some fans when Emsick referred to the 2-7 team as winners, but players new he meant what he said. "We all worked hard practicing, lifting weights, and concentrating on game plans to make a name for AL," said Dan Johannes '88. "We wanted Omaha teams to respect us instead of laughing and thinking it would be an easy game 'cause we're just AL." After getting humiliated by Bellevue West at Homecoming, the Lynx earned the respect they had been striving for when they played Bryan two weeks later. A field goal late in the fourth quarter of the game lifted the Lynx to a 13-10 upset of the Bears, who had beaten Bellevue West earlier in the season. But players felt respect had to start within the squad. "On one of the first days of practice, the seniors got together in the locker room and agreed not to tease, hassle, and intimidate the underclassmen like last year's senJUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL.

"We knew how bad it felt, and if we were gonna be dedicated to winning, we'd have to be committed to each other first. We had to be friends." Even when the team was plagued by mental mistakes, the positive attitude kept the team together. "I jumped off-sides in each of the first two games," said Jerry Cundiff '88. "It was stupid because I heard the quarterback call out the snap count, but I spaced it off, watching the offense set up. Figuring out who to block, I got nervous and jumped. "But even when things like that happened, there was never any negative talk. We tried to forget the mistake and reassure each other that we'd gain back the yards." Because the Lynx had only seven players over 200 pounds and eight over six feet, mental toughness was even more important than it was for most teams. At 5'9", and 138 pounds, White was the second smallest player. "Sure I'd get scared, but Emsick taught us how to hit in the legs, and that makes everyone fall, said White.

"I knew the boys would run close together, but I wasn't sure what kind of quality they would have," said Coach Mick Freeman. "That meet gave us the answer and got everyone excited." That excitement built as the team finished first in southwest Iowa , won seven invitational crowns, and placed three runners in the top ten in southwest Iowa. "We committed to making this one of the best teams AL ever had," said Jim Campbell '88. "We attended camp, ran streets longer, and practiced on our own."

"But with Mark (Wittland '88) battling bronchitis and the cold and rainy weather, we did well. The JV boys also had a recordsmashing year. They won the JV Metro and achieved a perfect score of 10 in four of 10 meets. Although the girls didn't match the boys' success, they improved from me e t to meet. The g irls scored 116 points in their first invitational but improved their score at the next two meets to 99 and 78. "Coach Freeman made us run more hills than streets," said Toni Mcintosh '88. "We also all wanted to work our hardest." Freeman said the girls' willingness to run, even though they weren't in the limelight, helped. "We knew we wouldn't achieve the success the boys did, but we tried," said Becky Ratashak '90, who set a home course record. ~W en I started the seaso n, I had no intention of establishing a record.

"After we lost the first game 10-15, we got fired up and rallied to take the next two games 15-12, 15-9 to win the championship." One reason for success was the individual skill of the players. Those attaining state rankings included Dawn White '88, seventh in ace sets; Kristi Anderson '88, fifth in kills; Marsha Hoffman '88, second, and Julie Rhoades '88, fifth in serving percentages. In addition, the JV finished with an 18-1-1 record and won its own invitational. "We weren't sure how good we'd be until we easily won our first two matches," said Lori French '90.

But to the boys' varsity basketball team, it wasn't magical or miraculous. It was a hard earned trip to State, a first in 25 years. Like Cinderella, the players worked their fingers to the bone. They practiced during vacations and weekends, after school, and sometimes twice a day. At each practice, they conditioned, shot at stations, jumped heavy rope for 5 to 10 minutes, and scrimmaged. "Coach Koch didn't want us to run out of steam before any other team did, so he had us run, shuffle, jump rope, run, shuffle, and run some more," said Chuck Milner '88. "He had a trash can in the gym so we could puke in it if we needed to. No one ever did, but we sure felt like it at times."

"Instead of working with us on plays, the coach worked with us on our fundamentals," said Eric Hubbert '88. "We found out we really lacked some of the basics and needed the practice. It was aggravating at times, but the coach kept tell ing us if we had the basics, we would get the plays." But even with a fresh approach and tough practices, the team seldom went home victorious. In the tough Metro Conference, the · Lyn x finished their season with only five wins to celebrate. "It was hard to go to practice on Monday after we had lost on the weekend," said Jeff Hayes '89.

But when the Lynx were a heavy favorite over the Falcons, fans flocked to St. Albert's. And when they threw frozen fish and goldfish on the floor after third quarter, the team had to spend its time out cleaning up. Officials called a technical, and St. Albert took control. The Lynx never had a chance against the "fish power." "Its one of my most unpleasant memories," said Coach Dan Koch. "It was the only time I ever wondered if I'd made a mistake coming to AL." Yet out of the team's humiliation, came one benefit. The players gained a special unity. "It brought the team together," said Ned Greer '88. "Everyone was crying and hugging ead1 other. We knew we should have won. As we helped each other through the pain, we became a team, not just individuals." Finally, the regular season ended, and the team started fresh going into Districts.

"It took me a while to realize we were going to State," said Milner. "It wasn't until on the way home from Ames when Kevin and I were talking that it sank in." With the worst record in the state tournament, fans worried that they would be embarrassed by the team's performance against first seeded Cedar Rapids Kennedy. The team did better than expected, though, taking the lead several times, and trailing by just two at the buzzer.

In the Metro Holiday Tournament, for example, the Lynx knocked off top-ranked Burke 35- 32 and top-seeded Benson 55-50, even though the team's ace-inthe-hole, 6'3" Kristi Anderson '88, fouled out in the final minutes of both games. "When Kristi fouled out, I thought, 'Oh, no!'" said Toni Mcintosh '88. "But we were able to come together as a team and show everyone in the Metro we have the ability to win." Balanced scoring was again the key in a 49-42 upset over Gross. Beth Tangeman '89, scored a career high 14 points, and Marsha Hoffman '88, and Anderson both added 13. "We played bad in the first half," said Lori French '90. "But in the second we played great. It seemed like we played out of our minds, we made so few mistakes." While the first three upsets were pleasant surprises, the Lynx set a pre-season goal to upset Marian, and, for the first time, they defeated the Crusaders 55-52. "I was so nervous toward the end of the game, I was shaking," said Nunez. "Kristi even offered to buy me a hot fudge sundae if I made my free throws." Even though this 15-9 team fell short against some opponents, all nine of the Lynx losses came against teams ranked at one point in the top 10 in Iowa or Nebraska. "It feels good that we were so successful, especially since we had to play against such tough competition," said Mel ntosh. "The best part was winning a school record eight games in a row." Anderson, a big key to the team's success, made accomplishments that included scoring 1000 points, getting selected First Team All-State and Metro, and signing with the University of Nebraska. The 13-4 JV and 7-10 freshman squads also posted upsets. The JV defeated Sioux City East for the first time, and the freshmen upset top-seeded Millard North to advance to the finals of the freshman tournament. Altogether, the Lady Lynx basketball teams earned a reputation as giant killers. "THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY!" Marsha Hoffman and Rachel Stageman agree.

But the moment Hughes broke the water at the Metro swimming meet, a feeling of relief set in. Then, a record-breaking 55 seconds later, she became the first C.B. female in 15 years to win the gold. "The results had me seeded first in the 100-free," said Hughes. "But I never thought I would get first. When I got out of the pool and looked at the clock, I couldn't believe it. All I did was tell myself I would do the best I could and I certainly did my best!" Hughes wasn't alone in her success. The boys' and girls' swim teams together broke 21 school records, arid 11 individuals cut 5 to 10 seconds off their times as boys finished 7-3 and girls 6-3. Along with Hughes, Susan Schumacher '88, broke four records and qualified for State.

"They all had a lot of talent, and we just pooled that talent together and worked our hardest in the relays." For the boys, three relay teams set new school records. Major competitors on the relays included Corey Ranslem '88, Bill Sollazzo '89, Scott Widtfeldt '88, and Aaron Thatcher '91. Thatcher was the team's top competitor, qualifying for State and setting seven school records. One factor which enhanced the teams' abilities was a 2-hour plus practice five nights a week at Kirn pool. A typical practice started out' · with swimming warm-up . laps of about 1200 meters, continued with many sets of drills and finally ended with a warm-down of about 300 meters.

Young talent keeps Lynx golfers ... rl\ ne part experience, one part ~ inexperience, and a dash of misfortune made up the recipe for the boys' and girls' seasons. Despite encouraging victories early in the season, the girls' team finished with a 5-4-1 record while the l;>oys' record was 5-3. "We played some good matches early in the year and improved all season," said Mike Housley '89. "We had a lot of talent, but when it came to important duals and tournaments, we choked under the pressure that a more experienced team could have handled." Nate Jungman '90, was one golfer who didn't let inexperience or pressure stand in his way as he won medals in four of seven tournaments. "Nate was my number one golfer which is excellent as a sophomore," said Coach Phil Nielsen. Though the girls' team had more varsity experience than the boys, they struggled against misfortune. Sarah Chambers '91, provided the team's young talent. Although PERFECT PUTTER Nate Jungman aims for the hole during the CB Invitational. Jungman took sixth, the Lynx finished fourth. she was only a freshman, golf was a tradition in her family, and all her hours on the course showed when she shot a 103, placing seventh in the city tournament. Experience came from seniors Kelly McKeown, who shot a 95 and took second at City, and Ronnie Martin, who shot 97 to place third. "Our scores were almost always within two strokes of each others," said Martin. "I feel lucky to have been able to play with Kelly because it was great competition and helped keep scores low." But McKeown remembered sectional play-offs, when neither Martin nor the team was lucky. Chambers had to quit play when she fractured her wrist on a mishit, and McKeown said she shot ten strokes over her average due to back pain. "But the worst part was when Ronnie tied for second place and lost her chance for Regionals in a three hole sudden death shoot out." McKeown said, "It was a rotten way to end the season." "THAT SURE BEATS MY SCORE!"

Sanders had accidentally hit himself with his own racquet in warm-ups before a match in Des Moines. Even as he fought to come back from a 2-5 deficit, he tried not to get psyched out. "I was mentally down, thinking, 'There's no way you can pull this off,"' said Sanders. " But I knew I had to concentrate and stop thinking about being behind so much. I ended up losing, but not before I gave him a good run." Like Sanders, many tennis players discovered that despite the emotional stress tennis sometimes inflicted on them, they could win. "I was behind 0-5 to a girl from Carroll -Kuemp e r," said Lori French '90. "She psyched me out, and I didn't know why I was playing so badly. But I kept saying to myself, 'You can do this.' "Then I started making my net shots and first serves. She started making the mistakes and got mad at herself. That's how I ended up winning." Another part of the mental game was learning to ignore distractions like the weather, noisy spectators, and barking dogs. NICE SHOT! Melissa Frick and Lori French cheer for teammates Dawn White and Marsha Hoffman in their Metro #1 doubles final. TWO• RACQUETS ARE BETTER THAN ONE. Partners Christie Poe, slicing a shot, and Brenda Castillo warm up at Central. "At the city tournament, a dog barked all day long," said Dawn White '88. "Even though all the players wanted to beat it with their racquets, I just ignored it." 11 At Districts, in Atlantic, we were trying to warm up when about 200 elementary students ran onto the court for 10 minutes of recess. That was after we had to sit out a two-hour rain delay on the morning of our graduation." Both teams overcame such distractions to post tournament victories and winning records. "We really improved this year, and at one point, our record was 6-0," said Sanders. "We took City even though our line-up was composed mostly of juniors opposing more experienced players." The girls improved last year's third place Atlantic finish to second and went from sixth to third in the tough metro tournament. "Even though we were disappointed to finish second in City, we were really excited to place third in Metro," said Christie Poe '88. "If my doubles partne r, Brenda Castillo ('88), hadn't accidentally been injured, the team might have placed second." Despite distractions at every turn, Lynx tennis teams learned to play mentally tough. ' TENNIS. FRONT ROW: Julie Armstrong, Shawn Brooks, Brenda Castillo, Traci Weaver, Christie Poe, Pat Halstead.

Tire girls were four of the five who represented Al at the State meet. Promising underclassmen keep Lynx r:\ !though the sun shone and l..iJ the temp reached a balmy 72, the day looked dismal for the Lady Lynx. With seven events left, they trailed Denison by 13.5 points in a meet they thought they could win. But the Lynx pulled everything they had together and captured first place in five of the last events. Two of those victories came from girls who had never before run the race they won - Becky Ratashak '90, in the 1500-meter and Jani Bintz '89, in the 200-meter dash. With their help, the Lynx went on to win the Harold Johnson Relays with 121 points, edging Denison. "That meet showed what an outstanding track team the girls were," said Coach Mike Batten. "I was proud of them." Like the relays, the season was successful due largely to the talent of inexperienced runners. Although the girls won only one invite, the 4x8 relay team, which consisted of two freshmen and two sophomores, qualified for State along with Barb Roth '90 in the high jump. "Coach Batten saw that there was potential in the underclassmen and he tried to pinpoint each girl's strong point," said Teena Schultz '91. "In the 4x800 relay, Batten saw that the girls who ran in it were good, so he focused on helping them improve." Unlike the girls, the boys lacked underclassmen. "When we first started out, we had more than 50 kids total; then they all just started dropping out," said Coach Joe Hauser. "Of those underclassmen who cut, we were left with just five freshman and five sophomores. And for some reason, they just couldn't improve." Although the boys lacked underclassmen, the Lynx had one talented sophomore, Chris Sorensen. In the 100-yard dash, he captured third place or better five times in addition to finishing sixteenth at Drake and seventh at State. The season's biggest disappointment came when the 4x800 relay, which had captured first place at seven meets and cut 11 seconds from its time, failed to qualify for State by only five-tenths of a second. "It was a blow to the team when we found out that we barely missed qualifying for State,"said Paul Grafelman '89. "We worked hard all season to make it there." "I KNOW I CAN."

It was hard to be peppy and do aerobics at 8 a.m." Camp was hot and sweaty for porn pon girls too, but many weren't ready for it to end when it did. "The sponsors did a slow motion dance that portrayed the events that one went through as a porn pon girl," said Diane Cross '89.

"One Monday I woke up late because I had to work almost all night Sunday. Then my mom and I got into an argument, and while I was at school, I couldn't concentrate on anything because I was so exhausted," said Janelle Joyner '88. "To top it all off, I was sick, and I could hardly breathe. I never wanted a day to get over with so much in all my life! Mondays are the worst!" While Mondays meant oversleeping for some, they meant late nights for choir members and yearbook staffers. "Even though swing choir is a lot of fun, sometimes it's hard to stay awake until 10 or 10:30," said Tim Anderson '88. "Usually I'm so tired from staying up late to do homework on Sunday night that all I can think about is going home and crawling straight into bed." Some students had to use their Mondays to catch up on homework left over from the weekend. "Even though I always plan to get a lot of homework done over the weekend, I'm just too lazy to get it all done," said Christie Poe '88. "So I usually end up finishing it during my classes."

But some Tuesdays were unforgettable. "I'll never forget Switch Day because it was such a great way to show spirit," said Bobby Drummond '88. "The day before, some friends and I went through my mom's old clothes and found our outfits. I wore a white dress with eyelet, and I put balloons in it to make it look as if I had really big chest. "That morning, we all met at Kwik Shop so we wouldn't have to walk into school by ourselves. It was so hilario.us to see all the guys dressed up like girls. " But most times, students valued Tuesday as a day just to relax and catch up on assignments. "Tuesdays are nice because it seems like every other day of the week, I have swing choir, church, or work," said Dawn Shipley '88. "Even though I'm usually still tired from the weekend, I can get all of my homework done on Tuesday nights plus I can go to sleep fairly early. I like them because they make me feel so organized since I can get so much done."

Hump day ... the beginning of the last part of the week ... But four times a year, this drag-on day became our favorite. In-service day gave a little relief to students throughout the year. "When I get up in the morning, it's a lot easier to get ready for school, just knowing it's an in-service day," said Toni Spoto '88. "I'm always wide awake and in a good mood. Those days go so fast!" Amazingly enough, such wide-eyed, energetic students hurried home for an afternoon nap right after the 11:35 bell rang. "By the middle of the week, I'm worn out," said Donna Sanders '88, "I'm thankful for the extra time; I usually can't wait to go home and sleep! I wish we had more in-service days!" Even though most students used their afternoon off as rest time, some preferred to use it as fun time. Popular activities were eating at Burger King, shopping at the mall, or getting together at friends' houses. "My friends and I like to go to one of our houses and make lunch and catch our soaps," said Nicole Brink '88. "Then, we usually go shopping." JUST BEING SILLY. At a yearbook Wednesday work night, Jennie Tanous, Annette Nielson, and Peggy Streepy take a break from their spreads and goof around in the hallway. "Sometimes it was hard for me to get stuff done at work nights because I got sidetracked so easily,'' said Nielson. WEDNESDAY NIGHT RITUALS.

"Where's the fire?" your witty father asks. "I'm missing my favorite show!" You exclaim as you reach for the knob on the television set. Come Thursday night, students often crowded around to watch favorites like Knott's Landing, LA Law, The Cosby Show, and Cheers. "Once in a while I get together with friends to watch T.V.," said Michelle McKern '88. " It's really nice to be able to sit back and relax with Cosby." Students often became so engrossed in shows that all thoughts of homework faded from their minds. "Last Thursday I had to st udy for this test on Friday, and I started watching Knott's Landing," said Shellie Ostdiek '88. " I completely spaced off the test and ended up getting a C, when I usually get an A or B. Watching the show wasn't really worth it, but if I could do it all over again, I'd still watch it." All in all, seniors agreed that Thursday night prime time was not to be missed. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE.

After a long week full of homework, tests, lectures, speeches, and practices, Friday was a lifesaver. As T.G.1.F. ran through the minds of everyone in the building, Friday seemed to be the quickest day of the week. "Fridays always go super fast for me," said Mike Grey '88. "I look forward to the m because I'm in a band and every Friday night until about 3 a.m., I work on this song I've been writing for three years." Although some students didn't go out on Friday nights, most chose to go to parties, movies, or games. " I always have a good time when I go to football and basketball games on Friday nights," said Michelle Hughes '88. "All my friends go, and we cheer until we're almost hoarse." After watching an exciting game filled with screaming, laughing, and cheering, stude nts found their appetites took over, so most went to Burger King to eat and socialize . "After basketball games, I take a shower and go to Burger King to talk to everyone about the game," said Chuck Milner '88. "It's really interesting to hear what the crowd thinks of a game."

Shoot it!", and he realized he had just dribbled away the team's chance for victory. "I misread the scoreboard, I thought the score was tied, so when I didn't see a good shot, I just dribbled around," said Goodman. "The whole game was really disappointing because we were leading and then everything seemed to go wrong. On top of it, we didn't get that last shot. I was shocked and then incredibly embarrassed." While most students' worst disappoi n tm en ts weren't as public as Goodman's, failing to achieve something they had worked hard for was a painful experience for everyone. "I was upset when I didn't make concert choir," said Heather Hough '89. "I put a lot of work into it, and it took me a while to get up enough nerve to go through tryouts again!" Election days were disheartening for some students. "It was upsetting when I didn't make student council," said Mike Cooper '89. "I had big crowd response after my speech, and some of the students told me that my name was on a lot of ballots, so I started feeling pretty confident. When I found out I had lost, it was a real letdown."

She and he r friends had a ball until they heard sire ns. Eve ryone scattered, but whe n Kadere it tried to escape over a brick ledge by the school, she slipped. As she struggled to get up, she looked down to find blood everywhere and her knee cap hanging from he r knee. Kadereit's injury brought he r in140 Juniors Gillenwater-McCoy stant fame, but the healing process she suffered was by no means instantaneous. "When I hurt my knee, it was a big pain! I had to have knee surgery, which left me with 30 stitches," she said. For many, injuries put restrictions on what they normally did. "I couldn't do anything when I cracked a joint in my wrist playing basketball," said Lisa Koenig '89. "It drove me nuts! I couldn't write, put on my clothes, or even wash my hair by myself." Besides being a hassle and causing pain, injuries took a lot of time and effort. "I had to put ice on my leg twice a day, exercise, and miss school for the rapy three times a week," said Randy McGlade '89, who tore cartilage in his knees. Broken bodies proved to be even more of a pain than most realized.

Struggling to finish his Latin assignment, Mike Boyle figures out his last questions during lunch in the cafeteria. Five minutes between classes makes personal time precious T o Kathy Ratashak '89, the minute hand seemed to creep around the clock at the front of the room. Anxiously, she jiggled her legs up and down, waiting for the seconds to count down so she could dash out the door. "My boyfriend and I always mee t after certain periods," said Ratashak . "We can't meet each other after every hour, so when we can, we have to make the most of it. " Others had no time fo r boyfri e nds. Instead they spent their breaks searching for homework. "Sometimes I'm frantically looking for my homework that I loaned out for later in the day, and at the same time, trying to find someone to loan me theirs for the next hour," said one junior girl. "Sometimes I think it would be easier just to do the homework myself." Some students found the five minutes weren't enough, and ended up having to sprint to class to be on time. "I never seem to have enough time between classes," said Julie Mankin '89. "I have to go my locker, and sometimes I get something to eat. By the time I'm done with all of that, I can barely make it to class before the bell rings." Five minutes of freedom for every hour of confinement gave us a total of 30 precious minutes of personal and social time each day, and almost all of us made the most of it.

Though their hearts weren't bleeding, the pain was still real. For the lovesick, first break-ups caused deep emotional agony. "I was really depressed when my boyfriend and I broke up," said Jean Gibson '89. "I wanted to call him, but DEAR(?) DWIGHT. During study hall, Sarah Wohlt writes a note to boyfriend, Dwight Rogers, whom she dated on and off for two years. I didn't want to crawl back to him." But for some students, breaking up was a relief. "I was upset when I broke up with my girlfriend," said Todd Thies '89, "but I felt too pressured by the relationship. She always had to know everything I was doing, and I just got sick of it." Even though there wasn't always a cure for the "break-up blues," students found ways to ease the pain. "I talked to my friends on the phone after I broke up with my boyfriend," said Lisa Gray '89. "I tried to keep busy with my activities to get my mind off him so I wouldn't be depressed." Instead of trying to forget the break-up, other students deliberately thought through their pain and came to accept it. "I thought about why we broke up a lot," said Julie Mack '89, "and I realized it was for the better, and I had to go on with my life."

It made me feel so bad." - Kim Wills "I was driving around a curve on a gravel road and I hit the brakes, and drove right into a ditch. Mr. Stull yelled, "Don't hit the brakes!" right before I crashed, but it was too late. Mr. Stull drove us out of the ditch and back to school because there was a hole in the gas tank." - James Whittmore "I was driving around trying to find a parking space because for my first time, I was being tested on parallel parking. I was nervous because I'm always doing dumb things like trying to drive while the car is in park. There was a long line of cars behind me, and it took me 5 minutes to pull in and out of the space. All the cars had to wait and I was scared of messing up and hitting something, but luckily I made it. I couldn't believe that I actually did okay." - Matt Harris " I was driving by the Christian Home, and there were two streets with a "DO NOT ENTER" sign in the middle of them. I didn't know which street the sign was for and I drove down the wrong one. I didn't know it until my dri ving instructor slammed on his brakes.

"On the way back from a debate tournament in Iowa City, the brakes in our van went out, and we had to stop in Newton to get them checked. We e nded up spending two hours in the Kentucky Fried Chicken, and because of the closeness in the van, by the time we got home, everyone was sick, both physically and mentally. Tension was at its peak. Eric (Hamilton) hit me with a snowball, and I gave him a bloody nose. The trip from Newton usually takes two and a half hours, but because of the snow, it took four, and it was hell." - Dustin Putnam "It's amazing how much stuff and how many people you can get into a 15-passenger van.

On an average trip to Iowa City, we usually stop four or five times so that people can stock up on junk food. At the end of a trip, there is a huge pile of pop cans, peanut butter cup wrappers, potato chip bags, old pieces of string cheese, and apple cores." - Chris Brewer "My worst experience actually involved the pursuit of the van. I was at the Millard North tournament, and I thought that I had missed the van. As I was calling my parents, I saw it far off at a stop sign, and I recognized it as one of ours. The next thing that came to my mind was, "Chase it!" I grabbed my tie, searched for my inne r strength, and ran for it. I eventually did catch it." - Dave Snyder "For District speech contests I did a speech on skiing, and so I had to take my skis to the tournament.

Valerie Kelso '' I I I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my_ community, my country, and my world." Several freshmen repeated that oath every month during 4-H meetings. Whether making cookies, welding iron, riding horses, or collecting bugs, 4-H'ers learned through experience. "I rode my horse, but I learned more by caring for him," said Valerie Kelso '91. "You appreciate horses when it's 20 below and you have to carry water up an icy hill for them to drink." Besides responsibility, self-improvement was stressed at 4-H. "I thought it was neat when a Mary Kay lady came to a meeting and gave us makeovers and lessons on skin care," said Kim Fender '91. Freshman 4-H'ers agreed county fair was the best time of year. As competition for purple ribbons began, hours spent on projects paid off. "Fair is the best part of summer," said Fender, "because I'm involved instead of an onlooker. My goal was a purple, but I was happy with a blue." Ribbons were important, but most agreed 4-H made them better people. "Most people think you're too old or a country loser," said Kelso, "but all you have to do is get involved in 4-H and see how much you learn, and then say, 'Who cares what people think? They are the ones who are missing out'."

During first hour band, Brent Bengston plays the drums for "Wipe-Out." Bengston played the drums for five years. LIKE FATHER LIKE DAUGHTER. Rehearsing for All-State contest, Molly Spann and choir director Lee Spann go over warm-up scales together. 15 6 Freshmen T o most, music was what woke them up in the morning and put them to sleep at night. It was what they danced to at dances and sang to in their cars. But for some, music was the basis of the future. "I basically play four instruments," said Jason Burkum '91. "I practice about three to four hours every night. Someday I hope I can get a band together because I think it would make people respect my music a lot more." When students had goals like Burkum's, dedication and practicing many long hours made it possible to accomplish them. "I have been playing the French horn in the Omaha Philharmonic this year," said Molly Spann '91 . "It is kind of hard to go back and forth to Omaha every ' . . .... ,... ,, j> Tuesday for only two hours, but I really think it's all worth it because I'm hoping that someday all my practice will pay off and maybe I can get a scholarship. Since I enjoy music so much, it doesn't really seem like much work to me." To some, music was purely recreational, and it didn't require as much time and dedication. "Even though I play in the band at school and I enjoy music a lot, I really don't think I take it as seriously as some people do," said Chris Andersen '90, "and I definitely don't spend as much time practicing it." Whether one took it seriously enough to consider it as a future career possibility, or if one just considered it a hobby, it was always a big part of our lives. . . . . . . . . ... . . . . . 9· . . .

Price practiced his aim for his weekend trips during the month-and-a-half bow and arrow season. I t was 4:45 p.m. Dick Price '91, had waited, scrunched on his knees, quiet as could be, for more than two hours. Suddenly, he heard the rustle of leaves as 12 doe and an 11 point buck came through the woods. Without removing his eyes from the buck, he cocked his gun and brought the butt to his shoulder. His heart pounded and his hands trembled. But carefully, he took aim and fired . "I could hardly believe I shot him. After waiting all season, getting a deer made me feel really cool," said Price. Like Price, many hunters had to exercise patience before they were rewarded with a thrill. For James Olmstead '91, waiting came in comfort. He and his father built a blind underground where ducks couldn't see them. They furnished it with cots, card tables, and a heater. "Next year we are planning to add e lectricity so we can watch Nebraska beat Oklahoma," said Olmstead. Another thrill for young hunters was that of getting a new gun. "When I got my 12-gauge Remington shotgun for Christmas, I was really excited to try it out and when I did, I shot four rabbits," said Bob Gale '91. Most hunters enjoyed the challenges of their sport. "Last year I shot a 30-pound raccoon, which made me feel that I had really accomplished something by outsmarting such a smart animal," said Troy Gibler '91. Sometimes, a bit of good luck, more than skill, made for success. "Last year, my brother, my dad, and I were waiting in our duck blind, and a duck flew up and landed right in front of us," said Olmstead. "I shot at it, but all I did was cripple it, so we all shot at it. After we finally thought we killed it, it got up, walked a couple of steps, and fell over dead." Whether for the challenge, play of luck, or adventure, hunters loved their sport. Hunting 159 _____ __.....088Y HORS€">-------------. Tapping and tumbling too '' ~ love danc1 n g and performing. It has really helped me with my coordination for cheerleading, and it also helps keep me in better shape. - Deborah Hogan'' WITH PERFECT FORM, Todd Eyberg practices his parallel bar rQutine at the Council Bluffs Gymnastics Club. ON THEIR TIPPY TOES, Deborah Hogan and Agnes Kavanaugh go over steps for their next recital at Donna Wood Dance Studio. 160 Freshman Riggs-Zupfer T ippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippitytap, tippity, tippity, tippity-tap. The dancer's shoes seemed to sing along with the music as they tapped against the floor. The audience was hushed as members entered a trance-like state, captured by her movements. After 12 years of such dance recitals, Deborah Hogan '91, was still excited to perform in front of an audience. " I love dancing and performing," said Hogan. "It has really helped me with coordination for cheerleading, and it helps keep me in better shape." Like most dancers, Hogan hoped to perform with a dance company at least as an amateur, if not more, and perhaps someday teach lessons in a studio to girls who share her same dream. Although Todd Eyberg '91, hadn't spent as much time practicing as Hogan, he too spent a lot of his spare time improving for his many performances. The young gymnast started the basic program at the Council Bluffs Gymnastics Club in 1987 after televised competition sparked his interest. After his first year, Eyberg had conquered the hand springs and hoped to conquer greater goals. "I have a great feeling for competition," said Eyberg. "Someday I'd really like to share that feeling with a team." "STRETCHING IS one of the most important things to do before dancing since it's so strenuous," said Shawna Benson, who prepares for ballet class with Amy Smith at Donna Wood Dance Studio.

The problem has been that young teachers who just get out of college want to go to other states where they will make more money. Bob Petvitier, MATH I I I think the pay raise is a morale booster to teachers because it's the first time we have received any acknowledgement from the state government." Robe rt Robuck, Band I I I think it will be great because teachers need to be paid on a higher pay scale to meet the salary of other professional people. Because of the allotment program, maybe we can attract better teachers." - Donald Whyte, English I IT he governor's pay raise is fantastic. Teachers work so hard, and it's so disheartening when no one seems to appreciate it. This is the first time during 20 years in the profession that I actually have felt good about my salary, and I'm really looking forward to the merit pay part of the plan." Linda Smoley, Journalism " THE PAY RAISE WAS NICE, but the camaraderie that I had with some of the senior guys really gives me something to sing abo ut," said instructor Don Scheibeler. At prom, Scheibeler poses for a buddy picture with Steve Jensen, Dan Prichard, Ned Greer, Matt Johnson, John Hiffernan, and Scott Widtfeldt. SIM-PLE AS THAT. Dr. Fred Frick discusses his SIM (School Improvement Model) evaluation of instructor Mary Gepner. Under SIM, all teachers were observed at least four times and met with evaluators in at least six conferences before and after observations. One third of the staff was evaluated during the third year of SIM, a much more extensive evaluation than the old ones. Evaluations became more important because Phase Ill (Performance Pay) of the state pay raise for teachers was tied, in part, to the teacher's formal evaluation.
