The increased number of freslu11en caused numerous traffic jams in the halls. All Tied To The Tiines By Brandie Jacoby Photos By Michaela Kanger When we look back through the times and see all the changes that have occurred through the years inany of us tend to look ahead and wonder what the future holds and what new changes will occur. It seems like "the way things were" and "the way things are going to be" will be a drastic change, but really, what has changed? During our high school years we've worried about our grades, our friends, getting our drivers licensesandespeciallywhatwewere going to do on the weekend. "Back in the day" as our parents would say, teenagers were worried about the same things as we are today. They were concentrating on school, talking on the phone to friends, getting their drivers licenses and of course always looking for a good time. Many of the details hav e changed. Teenagers have decisions to make about drugs, sex and relationships that may not have been of the same seriousness as in the past, but still relate directly to the same kind of decisions that teenagers of the past had to make. The music has changed and so have the fashions. While our parents are griping about the effects of us listening to No Doubt, TuPac and Marilyn Manson, in the back of their minds are memories of their parents griping about Buddy Holly, James Brown and Elvis. Leisure suits, hip-hu ggers and clogs can be found in many of our parents closets, as we rampage the mall looking for miniskirts, baggy jeans and sweater vests. It's all coming clear now, many of the things of the past are in essence the same as the present. As many teenagers listening to new sounds are turning to the oldies station. Who could miss the retro fashion wave? Thrift stores are as popular as the mall and bell bottoms are seen just as frequently as in the 60's. Although in the past the details were a little different, not much has changed. So what can we say about the future? Is it going to bring the drastic changes that we imagine, or is everything going to stay "Tied to the times? " MMM,MMM GOOD!

Junior Stephanie Simpson said she had fond memories throughout the year, but especially of one particular activity. "VVe had tons of fun with Up VVith Families. It was a great experience,"Simpson said. Up VVith Families paired members with siblings of handicapped children, like a big brother /big sister program. Other activities of the Student Council included a food drive, RCC Leadership Academy, selling bricks to raise money for restoration of the fountain in the front of the building, passing out VValgreens' ads and holding a dinner for the faculty.

Pommers Accumulate Awards By Daniell Birchard Photos by Michalea Kanger Third place at Metro and a Division one rating at state were some of the many awards the Porn Pon squad recieved. This was the squad's first time participating at the state competition. "The situation at state was horrible because we had no time to get ready and it had been our first time participating. We had to get dressed in the hall. We didn't get to warm up before we had to perform," junior Stephanie Simpson said. Awards were also earned during the summer. At the UNL camp during the summer the squad earned spirit sticks everyday. They placed second on their home routine and got a bid to nationals. They chose not to attend beacuse of lack of time to prepare. At the River Cities competition the squad placed third. Senior Andrea Mueller and junior Sarah Whitney were chosen for the All-Conference team. This was Mueller's third time to be placed on the squad. "I was really happy at how well the squad did taking third at Metro, but I wish I could have been part of it," junior Tiffany Hancock sa id . Hancock was out most of the season with an injury. The pommers bought new costumes. The costumes were black leotards, black pants, a silver sequence top and black shoes. These were used during competitions and during some halftime performances. "An advantage for our appearance in competitions was having the costumes," sophomore Lyndsey Neill said. Midway through the year the squad saw a change of sponsors. Attendance clerk Ann Clinton and teacher Wendy Koontz took over as new sponsors. "The new sponsors did a good job considering they came right before the River Cities competition," senior Dawn Thelen said. 10 • Organizations LOOK AT MY MUSCLES.

The cheerleaders combined squads and did a building stunt for a pep assembly. Cheerleading Numbers Decline By Sara Foster Photos by Michaela Kanger The cheer squad started out with36 girls, due to other commitments and conflicts, 28 remained. That left only four on the varsitysquad. Not only did the numbers decrease, but they also saw a season of ups and downs. The cheerleaders started their season at UCA Cheer Camp in Okoboji June 15-18. All the squads did very well. The freshman, J.V. and Varsity squads received second place champs, all blue ribbons and spirit sticks. Sophomore Carla Pollard said, "It was really hot practicing in the camp's gym, but learning the dances and cheers was fun." During camp, the girls got up early to fill their days with jumps, chants, cheers, dances and building stunts. Sophomore Jennifer McKeeman said, "It was hard being separated from your friends at home, but you got to make new ones at camp and got closer to your squad." When the school year began, the girls had to be a t school at 6:10 a.m. to prepare forthenewyear. This included learning cheers for each sport, preparing for pep assemblies and competitions as well. Freshman Candace Cox said, "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get up that ea rly in the morning for practice, go to school all day and then go to the games after school." With the squad having the opportunity to build, the chance for accidents increased. This was seen during a pep assembly w hen sophomore Lynsi Brooks was dropped while being lifted. This was the first fall the squad had in two years. Brooks said, "I was really surprised that it just scraped my elbows and didn't leave a scar. I trust my squad and I really don't have a fear of falling." \ / 12 • Organizations - ·- __,.., J.V. Front Row: NaMee Turner, Tami Haden, Jennifer McKeeman, Nikki Kuhl.

Other activities included bowling, bingo, pictionary, trying Spanish food and having a Spanish style birthday party. "The best part of the party was that they put toys inside the cake," sophomore Tammie Miller said. Spanish club officers included president Brodahl, vice president, senior Mark Smith, treasurer, sophomore Ben Mawhiney, and secretary, Crane. Spanish teacher Janet Beckstead was the Spanish Club sponsor for the second year. "The kids were great and they made the meetings fun. I wish that we could have had more meetings and had more students attend," Mrs. Beckstead said. "The seniors were fun. They picked on the freshmen, not to be mean, but to be funny," Crane said.

Some of the activities included Kiss Me Kate, Wait Until Dark, inductions and the Tommy Awards. The Tommy Awards were held at Mr. C's on May 15. Some of the awards included; Best Actress: senior Lisa Schlotfeld, Best Supporting Actress: junior Stephanie Nielsen, Best Actor: senior Tim Hough and Best Supporting Actors: juniors Josh Fouts and Jeff Smay. Individuals had to accumulated 10 points throughout the year to be inducted. They could accumulate these points in various ways such as, ushering at the Orpheum, participating in plays and musicals and doing various activities concerning drama . A big activity to accumulate points was the Press Club Show. This was a show in Omaha about Omaha's politicians. They learn to sing, dance and do other various talents. Many Thespians gained points by doing backstage activities, making props and being lighting managers. Officers of the Thespians include seniors: Pat Rose, Megan Webster, Renae Martin, Nichole Moore, Jamie Story, Schlotfeld and Hough. Twenty-four new members were inducted for a total of 60 members. The inductions were held May 15 and 16. The formal inductions along with the Tommy Awards were held at Mr. C's. After the inductions, they held a dance in the courtyard of Mr. C's. Following the formal inductions, inductees were dressed in funny clothes and were expected to perform various stupid activities at the hands of existing Thespians.

"It gave me a chance to get out there and put all my brains to use. It gave me a chance to do things I wouldn't do otherwise," said Raim. Society of Engineers weren't the only students racking their brains. The chess club was challenging their skills as they had a school wide tournament throughout the second semester. Students signed up for the tournament through History teacher Colin Smith and competed during homeroom. Mr. Smith started the chess tournament because he said it gave students another activity that was challenging, not to mention, fun and competitive. "During the tournament I learned many new techniques that I added to my already extensive line of strategies," said junior Jose Vargas. Vargas began playing chess in third grade, when he was taught by a friend. According to Vargas, playing chess stimulates the brain and makes him think in a way that nothing else does. Many students took advantage of the opportunity to take part in the chess tournament. The tournament gave students an equal opportunity to show their brain power. PAWN, KNIGHT, QUEEN.

Produee Large Numbers By Janelle Walters & Laura Herrick Photos by Ben Schroeder Students who chose to participate in the music department for one or more of their electives had the opportunity to work with other students to produce a quality product in the sound of music. Students were able to sing as a group and individually, to show off their talents. With close to 200 students participating in Freshman Choir, Mixed Chorus and Concert Choir the groups were some of the largest ever. "Yes, the groups are large and that does create some conflict, but with this many singers the pluses outnumber the minuses," junior Kara Polchow said. It was not only the number of students involved that made the sound pleasing to the ear, it was also the technique. "He's (choir director Jerry Gray) done a lot more with sight reading and tuning and it has benefited us greatly," sophomore Chaylie McCloud said. The choirs not only stayed in the room, but also tended to show off a little for whoever would listen. During the year Mixed Choir had four concerts, Freshman Choir had four and Concert Choir had two. Concert Choir also p articipated in the annual All-city choir with the choirs from Abraham Lincoln, Lewis Central High, Saint Albert's, Woodrow Wilson and Kirn. "The choir worked very hard and w as very dedicated to learning the music. The result couldn't h ave been better," Mr. Gray said. Even though the groups were most often seen together, there were times that they performed as individuals. Sophomore Branden Hunt was given the opportunity to go to Minneapolis to sing in a large group choir with select voices from all accross the nation. "It was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of cool people. I was glad to have been given the opportunity,"Hunt said. Whether in a group or seperate, the choirs always did their best to achieve that something extra and made sure that the halls were always alive wih the sound of music. FRESHMEN CHOTR.

Many hours went into practicing and performing for all of the events. At the River City Roundup Parade the Monticello Regiment earned third place. In the Loess Hills Fieldfest they won first place out of Lewis Central and Abraham Lincoln and got an award for the Best Horn Line. At State they received a division one rating. Junior Rachel Kritenbrink said, "Marching Band is the best part of band because you don't have to sit in one place all hour and we get to go to competitions and win awards." Because of the band's winning tradition they were accepted to go to Florida in June to perform in Orlando. "I was excited to go. It was a real privilege. I always wanted to go to Disney World, too. It was cool to meet Mickey Mouse," junior Autumn Rockwell said. Kritenbrink said, "The only bad thing was riding 30 hours on a bus." "Concert band is exciting. Some of the music can get boring, but some of it was so exciting that I got chills," Rockwell said. Most band members enjoyed playing Pep band for the basketball games and pep assemblies. Freshman Zach Korner said, "It was fun playing Black Sabbath and Deep Purple at the basketball games." Another thing band students were not used to was having a Band Council. President was junior Adam Ashley, vice president was sophomore Nick LeGuillou and secretary was junior Amy Doty. "It is good to have a Band Council because there were some important decisions that needed to be made and without a council they wouldn't be made," LeGuillou said .

Sophomore Nick LeGuillou said, "If it was for anything else I wouldn't want to wake up." Other people on the other hand don't recall the things they did in Jazz Band be ca use they weren't awake yet. Band Director Dave Clark said, "One of the students brought Pixy Stix one morning an d everybody woke up finally and got hyper." Awake or not, the Jazz Band went to the A.L. Jazz Band Festival and got a number two division rating. Clark said, "The Southwest Iowa Competition was a big one for us, it w ould qualify us to go to the Iowa Jazz Championships. The students didn't need much improvement. They had a very high playing level. The things they needed to improve on were just little picky things." The orchestra had an important year, one of the major events was the state solo ensemble contest. The orchestra went as a chamber and then also had seven students go as individuals. "We were all really excited for the competition, it was an excellent year for us all," sophomore Stephanie Gray said. With hard work and a lot of preparation the orchestra preformed a Christmas concert with the band and the choir. "We loved being able to play with them and would sure love to do it again," Orchestra Director Brenda Copeland said. The orchestra students w ent on two tours. During the beginning of the year the orchestra traveled on a Christmas tour to a nursing home and then to the Mall of the Bluffs. They also did their annual elementary tour, traveling to the different locations of elementary schools, showing off the instruments and performing for the children. "The group this year was very strong with rhythm. We stuck together and there was a w onderful sound," Ms. Copeland said. Jazz Band/ Orchestra • 33 34 • Academics CHECK IT OUT!

Captt.••·e Me1no•·ies By Jessica Rinehart Photos by Michaela Kanger Looking back on high school, where would one be if they had no yearbook or old school newspaper to freshen those memories? That is exactly where the journalism department came into play. This department specialized in the memory making projects of the school, and consisted of two counterparts: Monticello(yearbook) staff and Signal(newspaper) staff. The yearbook staff was made up of 45 students, divided into two classes. Editor, senior Brandie Jacoby said, "In yearbook, being editor, I have to keep track of everyone. It gets hard to tell people what to do without doing it for them. " Many times before deadlines, staffers were stuck with numerous stories assigned to them. Senior Stephani Maron said, "What do they think I am, a miracle worker?!" During the summer, many students went to yearbook camp. Senior Laura Fuhs, Ad Woman, said, "I went to camp with Jacoby and we took pop out of the cafeteria everyday, and on the last day when a janitor told us we couldn't, Jacoby said,'Fine!' and poured her pop all over the counter!" Although yearbook isn't considered an organization, it is still a job that takes teamwork to get done. Juniors Daniell Birchard and Kami Hammond said, "It makes us feel like we're part of something." Senior Kylene Kermoade said, "Yearbook is stressful, but it's a team effort. We do this for our school, and we'll be remembered for that." The newspaper staff consisted of 28 students, who produced a paper each month. Junior Michaela Kanger was a photographer for yearbook and newspaper. She said, "You have to have a photographer at every event. It's a one chance thing. You either get the shot or you don't." Senior Josh Flaharty was the editor for the newspaper and graphics designer for both. He said, "I am doing now what I plan to do with the rest of my life, which is design computer graphics." All journalism staffers worked late nights and long days to make the memories of high school possible by just the turning of a page. Journalism adviser Deb Goodman said, "It's the students that make me come back every year." J ournalisn1 • 35 36 • Academics / CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE?

These ranged from helping to support different athletics to feeding hungry students lunch and even breakfast. DECA helped to keep students' stomachs full and even helped some to celebrate a friend's birthday with a balloon at the Beehive. Students had the opportunity to send balloon bouquets to friends on their birthday to their homeroom. The Beehive also donated 10 percent of the profits earned in one day to different sports. "Our sales were up this year and we just wanted to help out organizations that needed money," sponsor Gary Bannick said. DECA also introduced a new idea of selling Cash Cards. They cost students $5 and allowed them to receive discounts at many local businesses. These orange and white cards with a photo of Buzz entitled students to discounts such as free fries at Burger King or $1 off movie admission at the Omni Theatres. "I love my Cash Card. I saved a lot of money when I went out to lunch with my friends," sophomore Tammie Miller said. The cards expired in one year. Competition was also a big part of the list of activities that DECA participated in. DECA made trips to places such as Des Moines and Ames, where they competed in a Delegate Assembly. "We take a lot of trips to competition," senior Chad Gnader said. "Going to Ames was a lot of fun. We all had a good time. We were very close to having candidates win, it was very exciting," senior Jamie Schreiber said . DECA not only kept track of present participants, they also remembered those from previous years. In February they conducted an Open House for all past members. DECA students from the past 25 years were invited . Together they enjoyed food, games, pictures and videos. Though DECA proved to be a wonderful way to spend time with fri ends. It also proved to be a very edu cational experience for all. "I have learned a lot abou t marketing and I have thought about going into that career field," senior Janie Wolfe said. DECA • 37 38 • Academics CAST YOUR VOTE!

W hi I e By Carrie Baxter & Michaela Kanger Photos by Jeremy Maschmeier What could be better than getting out of school and still getting credit for it. That's what students in Wayne Maines and Julie O'Doherty's T & I and Business Prep classes enjoyed doing. It gave them great work experience plus school credit. Senior Paul Davidson liked being in T & I. "If I ever had to apply for a job I'd know exactly what to do. It's helped me a lot," Davidson said. Senior Michelle King got stuck in the class because she had no other choice. "I took this class because my counselor told me I had to to get enough credits," King said. Senior Justin Thiles wanted to be in T & I for the credits. "It offers a lot of credits that I need to graduate," Thiles said. During the fall, students involved in Mrs. O'Doherty's business prep class took a trip to Des Moines to participate in the Business Professionals of America State Officer Conference. Senior Nikki Brown ran for state office of Secretary I Treasurer. "I ran for the heck of it, but I really wanted to win. It was fun," Brown said. Senior Carrie Baxter ran for state reporter. "I wanted to run because it sounded interesting. The whole election and campaign rally was really fun," Baxter said. The conference included giving speeches, caucuses, a campaign rally and a dance. "The speeches were the toughest thing for me. There were over 300 people there and my voice was really shaky," Baxter said . "The caucuses were easy. They asked questions like who I wanted to have dinner with. Of course I said Elvis Presley," Brown said. Mrs. O'Doherty found that the conference was a good experience for her students and was beneficial. "It was a very rewarding experience. The competition was very tough, but the campaign rally and caucuses were enjoyed. I w as very proud of our two candidates,"Mrs. O'Doherty said. T&I/ BPA • 39 40 • Academics ROLE PLAYING.

Counselor Deb Cook is teaching the best ways of being a confli ct mediator. Key f 0 1· Classes By Enjoli Barksdale Photos by Ben Schroeder "Where there is a conflict, there can be a mediator." That was the motto for those who participated in the Conflict Mediation program. To be a conflict mediator students had to fill out an application explaining why they were qualified. "After we picked students, we had two days of training, specifically dealing with conflict mediation. The first day was for learning and the second day for practicing the technique. They learned about active listening and 'I' messages," said Counselor Deb Cook. Students also learned about ground rules, confidentiality, the four stage process and telling friends that the conflict was settled were all part of the process. "It has changed my attitude, to remind me to watch my temper," said senior Lisa Schlotfeld who worked with a mediator. Most conflicts start by lack of communication and "he said, she said rumors." "Conflict Mediation was a great way for a change. If a student has been through this process it may very well help any other conflicts in their life," said Vice Principal Judy O'Brien. "I think the whole initiative is great. It's an alternative to getting suspended. More people are willing to do it because it is student to student. The adults aren't there to get into your business. The program has been pretty successful. Thank god for people who argue," said junior mediator Cherokee Tuttle. Communication was the key for Conflict Mediation and also for Tee Jay Today. Tee Jay Today was a video production by students that came on the T.V. before Channel 1 during homeroom. It was used to inform students about upcoming events and things in the community. A new $7,000 editor was added to the equipment available for the students to use. The editor allowed students to produce videos in the classroom. As a result of the new equipment the videos became more professional looking. "I did a lot of new music, graphics and dressed up Buzz for Halloween week. We also dealt with new stories and had special edition reports," said senior Alex LeGuillou. TJ Today I Conflict Managers • 41 42 • Academics LEVELING OFF.

Comes Fu 11 Ci1~c1e By Janelle Walters Photos by Michaela Kanger The Nature Area came upon its fourth year of existence and every class had the opportunity to be involved in its development. "Every class has ownership of the Nature Area," said science teacher Brooks Schild. Sophomore Chaylie McCloud said, "It made everyone work together. Not just one person could keep it up, we all had to pitch in. " The Nature Area was constructed because the school's surroundings are buildings and concrete. "The nearest contact with nature is a mile or two away. City people h ave very little chance to have contact with nature, and the Nature Area provides it," said science teacher Don Knudsen . There were many benefits of the Nature Area. Freshman Gary Hensley said," The Nature Area gives kids something to study outside. It's pretty cool because I've seen quite a few animals, like a lot of birds and bugs. So that gives us a chance to learn about animals while learning about plants. " The first winter storm in late October did not cause much damage to the Nature Area. Mr. Schild said, "All that was lost were some branches off the cottonwood trees and a top of a maplewood. I think everything in the Nature Area came out okay. Everything in the Nature Area is young and they just bent over due to the ice." The sprinkler system was damaged because it hadn't been winterized. Some lines and a valve broke. One major addition was the p ond. The p ond was 52,000 gallons and six to eight foot deep. There was also a six foot fence around the pond so everyone could be safe. Students kept involved with the Nature Area doing maintenance work. They had the opportunity to prun e trees, put mulch around plants and on the path, replant the native grassland prairie and put up birdhouses and feeders. "When it was being built I just thought that it is was neat. I've always liked that stuff, but it didn't hit me until this summer when I came to help clean it up that the seniors were the first to beginit and it feels really awesome! We left our mark here. Years after we leave students will be able to enjoy the Nature Area," said senior Jamie Story. ...,.._.,_....,..... ...... ,......,,.._~ ....... ~-~ Nature Area • 43 44 • Academics EYES ON THE ROAD!

A Bumpy Ride By Jennifer Sharp Photos by Dave Reynlds & Chad Boyer Having a driver's license was the thought on many student's minds. The only thing standing in their way (besides waiting to turn 16) was taking Driver's Education. The number of students wanting to take Driver's Education was very high. The classes were divided into three groups, car, simulator and study hall. Car had up to 12 groups, each containing two or three students. Simulator had A, B and C groups. Study hall was necessary because there weren't enough cars or places in simulator available. The teachers were Tom Stull, Harv VanNordstrand and Michael Forbes. Many students thought they were ready to hit the streets with no instruction. "Simulator was easy, but with the directions the guy gave, I got confused and turned the wrong w ay," sophomore Olivia Perez said. "Simulator was a lot different than driving a real car, but it was easy to get used to," sophomore Tiffany Pogge said. However, some students felt differently about the class. "Simulator was dumb, it was nothing like a real car," sophomore Janet Schuster said. Sophomore Chad Boyer said, "Simulator was a waste of time because it was very outdated." Most of the sh1dents seemed in agreement. "I think the car and class was easy if you paid attention. It w as the simulator that was different," sophomore Bryan Smith said. "When they were driving Paul Stawowczyk hit the curb and almost hit a stop sign. It was a good thing no one got hurt," sophomore Loni Koopmeiners said. Some other fantastic adventures happened while students were behind the wheel of the Driver's Education cars. "When I almost hit a city truck, everyone in my car freaked out," Perez said. "When our car was doing figure eights in the Woodrow Wilson Pool's parking lot, sophomore Donnie Brewer was going too fast and the car spw1 out and hit the curb," Boyer said. Students in the class had to proceed with caution, regardless of their thoughts on the technology. Driver's Education • 45 46 • Academics WAR GAMES.

Plan Activities By Jackie Hammers Photos by Ryan Wood With the enthusiasm and creativity of student teachers, many students reaped the benefits of projects that enriched their minds and kept them having fun in the process. One example was history teacher Todd Barnett's student teacher, Jeff Dybvik, who created a Vietnam War Memorial from a 1,200 page list of fallen soldiers from the internet. The memorial filled both walls by the activity window and a third wall by the main office. Mr. Dybvik said, "I got the idea when I saw something similar in north central Iowa. They had a whole list on the outside of a building." Volunteers to hang up the papers appeared to be endless. "Kids in every class I taught helped. Some kids who had study halls helped then too, "Mr. Dybvik said. "It is like being slapped in the face, realizing how many died," Mr. Dybvik said. That was apparently the feeling of many students and teachers, who stopped and looked for names of people they were related to or that they knew personally. Mr. Dybvik said he was pleased when he saw the interest people took in the project. "People were curious. They were stopping and asking, What is this? It was good to see." Other projects included a power point presentation by Amy Jardon, who was student teaching with English teacher Linda Gardner. Ms. Jardon said, "Miss Gardner had talked about it and I thought it sounded like a good idea. Technology is something to utilize later in my career." Also using technology, Jolm McKinley's student teacher Laura Derby supervised American history and sociology classes while they searched on the web for maps, graphks and diagrams on the Cold War. Mike Larsen, student teacher for history teacher Dou0 Muehlig, supervised freshmen a t Lake Manawa as they beautified the park. "The kids enjoyed getting out of school and being helpful, "Mr. Larsen said. Trees were planted and litter was removed . Because of the su nny weather, many had sunburns, but Mr. Larsen said, "It was worth it, spending constructive time with students."

Many students vacationed at theme or national parks. But one student chose to go beyond the limits of the United States. Senior Regan Wilson traveled to Paris, France to participate in the World Youth Days hosted by Pope John Paul II. "It was crazy, people were getting rushed, pushed and stepped on," Wilson said, "Aside from those problems, the trip was pretty fun." If vacationing wasn't exciting enough, there was always the sport ofracing. Senior T.J. Nath said," I like helping out in the pits, you learn a lot while giving yourself a future in racing." The most dedicated of racers spent their whole weekend working at different race tracks. Concerts were a fun way to burn off some time and energy. TheWestfair amphitheater was the site for the No Doubt concert. The hit alternative group came from Anaheim, CA. to entertain on June 8. Junior Michaela Powell said, "The concert was fun because No Doubt tried to get the crowd involved. The only bad part was when I got pinned in the mosh pit!" For the nights when there was nothing to do, students flocked to the local movie theaters. By far, Men in Black was the most popular summer movie among students. "The end was pretty cool when Will Smith fights the alien," junior Brandy Valyer said. Other popular summer movies were Face Off, Anaconda and Batman and Robin. Some students worked to stay in shape during the summer months. Hoop it Up, a three on three tournament, helped keep peoples' basketball skills sharp. Other students worked to keep the income rolling in. Sophomore Lindsay O'Dell got a job at Fox Run Golf Course polishing golf clubs. "I really had fun. I enjoyed meeting all the different people." With so many things to do, some found it hard to stay home and watch the three months go by. 50 • Student Life I NEED WORK TOO!

Senior Nick Hollinger said, "We went out there and gave it 100% and came out the winner, it felt good." Homecoming festivities came earlier than usual, falling on the week of Sept. 15. Other activities included spirit week, a Carnival, a parade and a dance. Spirit week consisted of hat or wig day, Hawaiian day, superhero day, camouflage day and spirit day. The carnival and dance was sponsored by the Student Council. Sophomore Nikki Morraine said, "It was good that they had more booths than last year." The Student Council put a lot of effort into the preparation of the Homecoming festivities. Freshman Student Council member Niki Brown said, "Being involved in getting everything ready for the carnival and dance was a great experience." The Leadership Class hired Madame Z, a professional psychic, to work at a booth. Sophomore Bridgett Schmitt said, "Everything the psychic told me was true." Junior Michaela Powell disagreed with the fortune Madame Z told her." At first I didn't know what to believe, but now I'm convinced it was all made up," she said. Other booths at the Carnival included a duck pond, a pie throwing trivia contest, a dunking booth, a karaoke machine, a football throwing contest and a velcro wall. Sophomore Darrell Adams said, "The carnival was a lot of fun, I did the velcro wall, which was exciting." The Homecoming Dance was held on Saturday, Sept. 20 , at 7 p.m. in the New Fieldhouse. Freshman Kevin Kucks said, "The dance was a lot of fun." Senior Dawn Thelen said, "The Carnival had a lot more participation this year!" Senior Kylene Kermoade was crowned Homecoming queen and senior Don Zdan was crowned king. Zdan said, "The D.J. was really good compared to last year's and the dance was a lot of fun.

Or not. Imagine this ... Fred Graham is dragging a kicking and screaming Lilli Vanessi around the stage. In the fall play, "Kiss Me Kate", that was the norm. Seniors Sarah Porter (Lilli V anessi) and Mike Garreans (Frederick Graham) held the two leads. Other parts consisted of senior Nicole Moore (Ginny), senior Jamie Story (Bianca) and junior Jeff Smay (Bill Calhoun). This play not only created many fun times, it also created many memories. "The best memory was seeing Mike and Sarah together. It was so cute!" sophomore Christina Griffis said. Garreans also enjoyed it thoroughly. "My favorite quote from the play was 'Kiss me Kate"', said Garreans. Porter, on the other hand, enjoyed harrassing Garreans more than conversing with him. Her favorite line was "Comb thy mouth with a three legged stool!". There were some mishaps with the play. One of these was having all of the cast members keeping track of their clothes. For instance, during the Sunday performance, sophomore Branden McAtee appeared on stage without his tights and without his shoes. Sophomore Darrell Adams recalls during the Friday performance, "When the Haberdasher's pants fell down he was so nervous that he couldn't even pull them up. I had to hold them up for him. I've never laughed so hard in my life!" Due to the cost of producing a musical, one is only able to be done every two years. This year the set was ordered from Las Vegas, N evada at a cost of $500. Director John Gibson and music director Jerry Gray were also involved in quite a few memories. "My best memory was when Mr. Gibson cried at the end of a rehearsal because we did so well," said junior Beckie Gardner. Adams added, "I love Mr. Gibson and Mr. Gray and I'm very glad that we got to combine both of their know ledge to make another great show come out of Thomas Jefferson." 54 • Student Life WHO WILL BE THE ONE?

Shannon CdeBaca Fall Play • 55 By Stephani Maron Photos by Chad Boyer Creepy and spooky may be great words to describe a typical Halloween. "This year was especially spooky, because everything was dark and mysterious," said junior Josey Fredrickson. A sudden winter storm occurred the week before, and left trees down, electricity out and entire towns in ruins. This led to a very creepy Halloween night. Carter Lake Mayor Wanda Rosenbaugh urged parents to keep their children inside after 5:30 p.m. due to the storm. The dark night, lack of street lights and electricity was considered too dangerous for the trick-or-treaters. Students obeyed the mayors rules--to a point. Some stayed home with friends to enjoy movies and snacks, while others found costume parties. Sophomore Becca Moore said, "I spent Halloween at my boyfriend's house . We watched movies and handed out candy. We didn't have to do too much though, because we only had four groups of kids." Junior Bonnie West said, "On our way to Grandmother's house, my friend and I drove around Big Lake, just as we were almost out, a black cat darted in front of our car. My friend had to stop really quickly to avoid the black cat who just sat in front of the bumper and stared blankly at us." Some students were faced with the dilemma of the last football game or Halloween festivities. Freshman Sasha Miller said, "I chose to go to the game and give up trick-or-treating. I wanted to show my school spirit because I figured not many people would show up because of Halloween, the cold wet weather and the game's location (Sioux City)." The Student Council sponsored a bonfire and hayrack ride at Shady Lanes on Nov. 1 to celebrate the holiday. Unfortunately it was cancelled due to bad weather. Senior Ben Schroeder said, "I showed up at the ranch anyway because they failed to call me. I waited for 30 minutes for everyone to show up. I was really upset when no one did, and my mom was too because she needed the car." 56 • Student Life DRESSED FOR SUCCESS.

Not every dream is a positive one. One incident occurred, when planning for the dance the flowers were double ordered. "The first place that we ordered from was the wrong place because the name had changed," senior Student Council President Dawn Thelen said. The group then ordered flowers from another florist. "We saved about $100 with the place that we ordered from the second time," Thelen said. The first order was not cancelled until the last moment and almost created a massive amount of flowers. Decorating proved to be costly for the group. "We spent a lot of money, because the type of colors we had were very costly," Thelen said. The colors were iridescent and blue. Attendance for the dance was up and more people were on the dance floor than in previous years, sponsor Paul Hans said. "I was really impressed at how well behaved the students were and how all of them enjoyed themselves," Mr. Hans said. The attire for the event has become semiformal. "I think that as the years go by the dance has been getting more formal. It is a Christmas dance so I guess that is why," Mr. Hans said. The dance was held in the New Fieldhouse from 7-10 p.m. on Dec. 20 and the cost was $5 a person or $8 a couple. Seniors Nikki Brown and Josh Ream were crowned the royalty for the evening. The evening did not end with the conclusion of the dance. Many students went from icicles to ice skating or a private showing of a movie. "I convinced my w ork to run 'Scream II' for a bunch of us at midnight," sophomore Heather Berry said. Student Life SNOBALL COURT.

Students spent most of December decorating the hallway and were rewarded on the 18th. Hot cider, crackers, cheese, cookies and fruits were served as seniors took a stroll down the London street and saw what they had accomplished. All of the senior English classes participated in decorating the hallway to give it the full effect. After studying Charles Dickens and reading "A Christmas Carol" in class, students finished researching topics on their own. Groups were assigned to different sections of the hallway and were graded on their creativeness. Senior Jeremy Smith said, "Having our own section allowed us to take ownership in our work." "We got our picture in the Nonpareil because our section was the best," senior Jim McGlade said. The hallway was tied to the production of "A Christmas Carol." Elementary schools toured the hallway on their way to the play. "Decorating the hallway gave the elementary students a chance to see how far back in time the play took place," senior Heather Peterson said. During the feast senior choir members along with choir director Jerry Gray sang Christmas carols. Throughout the Dickens' hallway wishes for Happy Holidays could be heard. Even with all of the holiday joy, the "Bah-humbug" of Ebeneezer Scrooge could be heard above them all. For the first time, "A Christmas Carol" was performed for the Christmas play. With only three weeks of work, a cast of 36 and a large stage and lighting crew, the play was put together. "It was fun working with the sounds because you got to experiment with the special effects," sophomore Nick Le Guillou said. The cast along with drama teacher John Gibson went to a lot of work on the script. They looked at three different versions of the play before choosing the one they did. "It took about five years of planning, but this year we've finally done it," Mr. Gibson said . Stu d ent Life IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!

"Shane Anderson gave me and six other girls carnations because we are all friends. I guess he wanted our day to be special and make us smile," said junior Amy Doty. Some students got creative with the Valentine's they gave out. Sophomore Emily Gregory made a necklace out of a guitar pick for her boyfriend, freshmen Zach Korner, who is a guitar player in the pep band. Some students received gifts they would classify as horrible or even unbearable. Senior Stephani Maron recalled a gift she was given. "One year my friend, that was a guy, gave me a board game because he said it had sentimental values because the first time we met we were playing that paticular game." That Friday before Valentine's Day, which happened to be "Friday the 13th", many students received deliveries ranging from flowers, balloons, stuffed animals and one student received a flower with a ring inside of it. For the first time the National Honor Society sold Valentine Grams. They consisted of a message from the person and were tied to candy. They cost $1 and NHS raised around $76. "I'm glad we are finally contributing to the school and participating in more activities," senior Brandie Jacoby said. DECA sold balloon bouquets for $7 and with a stuffed bee for $13. Many students were disappointed that there was no Sweetheart Dance. Senior Class President Jessica Rinehart said, "I was very frustrated that all of our efforts turned into a waste of time!" Rinehart and others put time into the dance, they booked a D.J., photographer and made arrangements for decorations, but later found out that their plans were to be terminated. "A lot of people were upset that there wasn't a dance, so they tried to blame the officers but it wasn't our fault,"s~nior class secertary Laura Fuhs said . Student Life NO TIME LEFT FOR YOU.

If school had not been canceled, Monday would have been hat day and Tuesday would have been tie-dye day. "I didn't care that we didn't have hat day or tie-dye day because I didn't have anything to wear anyway," sophomore Erin Standfill said. "I was upset that we didn't reschedule the activities for the week. I always look forward to hat day, because I can get away with wearing my hat during school. I really missed it this year," junior Rob Leonard said. The special week was for T.W.I.R.P. (The woman is required to pay). The highlight of the annual T.W.I.R.P. week was the dance. It was held on March 14 at 7:30-10:30 p.m. in the New Fieldhouse. The theme was Aloha Hawaii. The dance was sponsored by the cheerleaders. They decorated the New Fieldhouse the day of the dance. The T.W.I.R.P. court was voted for on March 9 in homeroom. Each class picked four girls and four boys to represent them at the dance. This was the first year that girls were on court. The girls were added to the court because the Sweetheart dance was canceled. The cheerleaders made the decision. "It seemed funny to have females on the TWIRP court, since it traditionally has been males. Since they didn't have a Valentine's Dance I see why they did it," senior Josh Flaharty said. Winners were announced at the dance.

The play dealt with four drug dealers played by juniors Josh Fouts, and William Christopher, seniors Tim Hough and Nicole Moore. They brought drugs into the United States. Then Moore left the other three. She gave a doll to junior Jeff Srna y who then gave it to his wife who is played by senior Lisa Schlotfeld. After awhile the other three drug dealers figured out what Moore did and tried their hardest to retrieve the doll. This play was the last curtain call for three of the seniors. They were Hough, Schlotfeld and Moore. As the seniors took their final bow new faces appeared on the stage. One of these was junior Stephanie Nielsen. "Everyone was very nice to me, I liked it a lot," she commented.

The creators worked little by little a month in advance, but then started to crack down two weeks ahead of the show. Altogether the set rounded out to costing $2,000.

The seniors met at C.B. Stadium on May 28 to say their farewells to high school and to leave their friends and fellow classmates. After having graduation inside the last three years, due to weather conditions, it was held outside on the field at the C. B. Stadium. With a little humidity and the sun setting, the ceremony turned out well, even with the occasional interruptions of airplanes flying over. Although outside the weather cooled off, waiting for the ceremony inside the Wilson gym was hot. "It was fun except it was so hot before graduation when we were waiting to get started with the ceremony," junior escort Janie Aldredge said. The valedictorians were Brian Clark, Luke Gutzwiller, Stephani Maron and Sarah Porter. The salutatorians were Nick Brougham and Kelly Foster. The symposium spe kers were Tim Hough and Megan Webster. The valedictorians along with the symposium speakers had the opportunity to address the senior class and all spectators during the event. Other speakers included Principal Warren Weber and School Board President Ken Peterson. The faculty led the 196 graduating seniors into the stadium, which made for a short ceremony because of the small amount of graduates. This was the smallest graduating class in decades. The choir sang the class song, "That's What Friends Are For," during the ceremony and the senior choir members sang an ensemble also. The Alma Mater was sung at the end of the ceremony by seniors Mike Garreans, Keith Hensley, Nichole Moore and Porter. The seniors were honored for all their academic achievements. As Maron said in her speech, "Today we are all equals for our academic achievements as we leave high school." Student Life LAST PERFORMANCE.

The program which was located at school moved to a house on Mill Street, which was owned and used by Children's Square at night. The program was for those with special needs, who wanted to have jobs and take care of a home. From September, students and staff were busy renovating the house. "The kids did the painting," transition specialist Joyce Schaeffer said. "Over the summer the kids worked outside doing various jobs such as painting the outside of the house and planting flowers and grass." There were 13 students and five staff members staying at the house. Two of the students earned money working at McDonalds and the Garden Cafe. Other work sites included Target, Godfathers and the Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce. Tasks included attatching security tags to compact discs and video tapes at Target, janitorial work at Godfathers and filing papers at the Chamber of Commerce. Statistics showed that 90 percent of all students, such as those in the Adult Transition Program, were put in a paid job after they graduated from high school. Statistics also showed that the 95 percent of students who were without a job was due to a lack of proper training, transportation and support. The students also spent time on hobbies and in recreational activities like bowling or going to the mall. The Council Bluffs YMCA donated a year membership to the students and staff of the program. The teachers in this program were constantly working to better the community and system support connections, including the Job Training Partnership Act, which ensured a smooth transition for students when they exited the program at age 21. The program provied to be a continued success and produced many well prep ared stud en ts. Student Life KEEPIN' TRACK!

On April 17 these dreams came true, as 15 students competed in the Special Olympics held at C.B. Stadium. While everyone received a participation medal, all participants had dreams of getting the gold. "Most of our students placed first through sixth. The medals and ribbons were nice, but I think the students' ultimate reward was the praise that came from the spectators. A hand shake, a high five, or a hug made the students feel better than a medal on the wall ever could," special education associate Jan Smith said. Out of the 15 participants, eight qualified for state with first place wins. The Des Moines Special Olympic Committee paid for everything except transportation. Students had to finance their own transportation. Each participant was asked to donate $20 to help cover transportation costs. The Iowa State Olympics were held May 21- 22. "Although I have never been to state, the students enjoyed going. They made everything really nice for the athletes. On the first night there was a carnival and they had entertainment," Mrs. Smith said. Senior Tony Kramer said, "We stayed in dorms when we went to the Olympics, all we did was sit there and talk, it was all right." The eight students who were eligible to go included: freshmen Jacob Sorenson, Jim Bob Anderson, Brian Bird, Crystal Brannan, juniors Adam Winger, Crystal Dutson and Brandon Weese and senior Tony Kramer. "This was my second time going, it was a lot of fun last year. We played games and did crafts, I made sand bottles, lava lamps and bracelets," Kramer said. Brannan also made her second trip to the State Olympics. "I am happy I was able to go. I got first place in jumping in the Olympics held at CB Stadium," Brannan said. 74 • Organizations READY, SET.

Many people lost their electricity, water, trees and many other things because of the rain showers, snow storm and wind gusts. Due to the power outage many people had to stay at other people's houses. Social Studies teacher John McKinley had his wife's parents and his parents over. He said, "I was so happy when they left because they were worried about everything and my mom has alzheimer' s so every ten minutes she kept saying 'oh it snowed'." With no T.V. or lights, people resorted to burning candles while they tried to do homework or read books. Junior Rachel Kritenbrink said, "There was nothing to do besides read or sleep". Some people had to eat out every meal. Restaurants were swamped because of the lack of electricity and because many places in Omaha were closed. Junior Morris Eckes, Wendy's employee said, "We made more money in four hours that night than we made all day." Many Carter Lake students were left without power for a week and many students were left without clothes. Honey-Creek resident, sophomore Pam Stahlnecker had no power for three days. "I have a gas stove and I cooked snow so we could have water and that was all we could do for excitement, except listen to a radio that had a battery. My family had to go to my grandparents house to take showers and I didn't like it." Many homes were damaged due to trees that caused electrical and structural damage. An estimated 2.3 million dollars was spent by the city to clean up the trees. Even though the storms caused many inconveniences, some were forced to spend time with their families and get through the tough times. 76 • Student Life WHITE HALLOWEEN.

"I knew that I would have a blast with whatever I did," junior Jene Maron said. The show was the first variety show in nine years. It was filled with vocal talent whether it was their own, or singing along to a favorite song. Acts that showed off vocal skills ranged from lip synching Spice Girls, a solo performance of the hit song from "Titanic," by senior Sarah Porter and even a performance by the elite choir group Jefferson Jazz. Two groups also decided to kick up their heels. The dance troupe walked around in bright bags that resembled pillow cases "It was really hot inside the bag," junior Melissa McClain said. Adding to the festivities were two different clogging groups. On Friday there was an adult group and on Saturday a childrens' group performed much to the delight of all who were there. "They looked really nervous, but they looked really cute as well," sophomore Tammie Miller said. The show also featured instrumental talent such as the Jazz Band, a jazz group called Razzle Jazzle, and a drum solo performed by sophomore Nick LeGuillou. • There were also many acts to make one laugh. "Our act 'Cardiovascular System' was full of laughs," junior Jamie Aldredge said. Freshman Josh Griffis and freshman Corey Gray performed a confusing but very comical act entitled, "Who's on First?" "It was extremely confusing," Gray said. Some laughs were not planned. As Jefferson Jazz prepared to sing, their pianist, choir teacher Jerry Gray, took a fall when his chair came out from under him. "Even though the setup of the Jefferson Jazz was planned, the falling off wasn't!" Mr. Gray said. Adding to the humor was a slip of the tongue by one of the fifth hour drama students during their performance of "GreenEggsandHam." "lwasmadathim. The audience laughed the rest of our skit because of what he said," sophomore Amanda Kerns said. Student Life WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

The Old Market was a popular place for teens to spend their weekends. "The Old Market, Border's and Downtown Grounds are all pretty popular for teens," senior Shannon Burgstrum said. Junior Holly Redmond agreed, "I know a lot of people who go to the Old Market on weekends. I usually go to the Old Market or the movies." Others liked a more active atmosphere," Guitars and Cadillacs is popular. I go dancing there," sophomore Dasiti Summers said. Freshman Tony Dorsett said, "On Sunday at Guitars they have teen night." "On Friday nights they have a Christian bowling night at Broadway Bowl, it's not very popular with Tee Jay students, but it is a lot of fun," junior Marie Wajda said. Sophomore Todd Rieper goes bowling, but not with a church. "I like to go to Cosmic Bowling at Thunderbowl. It costs about $10 for unlimited bowling." Money was a factor in deciding where students spent their weekends. "I don't know how much I spend, however much my girlfriend wants me to. We usually just stay at home and that saves a lot of money," junior Rodney Johnson said. "I spend about $30, but if I have a girlfriend I spend more," junior Travis O'Dell said. • "I usually go to parties with my friends, that doesn't take much money, but it is still fun," sophomore Dawn Powers said. Burgstrum spends money depending on what kind of weekend she has, "If I have a big weekend I spend however much I have depending on where I go. More than likely you will find me at a coffee house." Some students spent their weekends making money instead of spending it. "I work most of the weekend, but if I don't have to work I go to the Old Market," O'Dell said. No matter what the cost, it -seemed that students were able to find fun on the weekends. Student Life GETTING TOGETHER. There were many school activitie that k rt students busy over weekends. Students met to receive their y books at the yearbook signing party. Other activities such a po&.- band, drama and choir kept students involved over the weekend. BOWLS-EYE!

The ski trip was held on Feb. 5 at Mt.Cresent ski area.The trip included 72 of the seniors and the cost was $20. For many of the beginners the cost was $25, due to the $5 charge for ski lessons. Physical education teacher Lavonne Pierson said, "This was the first year out of many previous years that we had only this amount of kids, usually it's like double the amount that went." Senior Kane Kuhn said, "I think that the ski trip was well planned and fun." Not only were there skiers, but also snowboarders. Senior Aaron Ring said, "I like snowboarding better than skiing. It's hard for me to be the best at it though, because I always have to teach everyone else." As for bumps and bruises, there were many of those due to the ice. The bad weather the week before left the slopes with not as much cushioning to break one's fall. One of the worst injuries was when senior Tony Renshaw fell and had to go to the hospital. Renshaw said, "I don't know how it happened, all I know is that I was skiing really fast and fell, then I was in an ambulance on my way to the hospital." Senior Lance Kramer wouldn't know about that because Kramer said, "I heard that it hurts when you fall, but I wouldn't know because I'm a p rofessional." Ms. Pierson said, "The ski trip was very fun, but it was hard for the beginners to learn, due to the ice. " Physical education teacher Sharon Semler said, "All together it went great, it made me realize how many great kids we have in the senior class." "Laura Fuhs and I didn't realize we left our lessons early. So we found Mr.Kinsel to help us learn how to ski. When he sent us into the trees we realized he was no help, so we had to get lessons from Ms. Pierson," senior Enjoli Barksdale said. For some it was one ski trip that will never be forgotten.

Many students had a curfew, but the stipulations of each family's decision on what time the teen had to be home varied. The matter of trust was one thing that made parents think twice about their child's curfew. Freshman Sara Morris said, "I don't have a curfew because my morn can trust me." "I am a senior and I still have a 12 o'clock curfew because my dad doesn't trust me one bit. He knows me well," senior Ryan Wood said. Some students felt that it wasn't a matter of parent/ teen trust. Senior Jessica Rinehart said, "When a parent asks their kid to come home early, it isn't necessarily that they don't trust them . There are a lot of dangerous people out there, and they just want their teen to be safe." Many students didn't have a set time they had to be home, but their parents still had a hold on them. Sophomore Derek Button said, "It doesn't really matter what time I come home, just as long as my morn knows w here I am, but I think kids under 17 should have a curfew." Sophomore Nina Pikschus said, "My curfew is 1 a.rn. I have to let my morn know where I am and with w hom." Some p arents gave their child a curfew because of w ho they hung out with. "My morn made me come home early every time she knew I was going to be with my boyfriend, Chris, because she thou ght he was a bad influence on me," junior Amand a Moore said. Some parents gave cu rfews d epending on students ages. Senior Linda Points said, "When I was 17 my curfew was 12:30 a.m. and now it's 1:00 a.rn. and I'm 18. I think that parents give curfews to their kids to show that they care." Curfews proved to be one way tha t parents showed their concern for their teens and kept them safe . Even if it was a burden for the students, most realized the curfew was for the best. Student Life NIGHT LIGHTS. Students drove down Broadway to meet curfe\o\::; that were set for them.

Substitute teacher Dale Driver laughs with the class while filling in for an ill teacher. substitutes 1a e By Hope Redmond Photos by Chad Boyer Paula Rosenthal, Dale Driver and Marchele Dorsett are all familiar faces around the school. These were the substitute teachers that seemed to have been at school most. Being a sub has many different pluses and minuses. According to Mrs. Rosenthal, the best points of being a sub are the "variety of subjects and if you don't want to work at a place you don't have to, or if you just don't want to work that day, you don't have to. " Mr. Driver said the worst days he has is when the teachers have poor lesson plans or no lesson plans at all. "Those type of days don't come along a lot. All days are good, some are just better than others," he said. Joe Schick said, "The worst days he has are those days when students are restless and don't listen to instructions to the assignment the first time, because they were too busy talking. When students are in that type of attitude it makes problems for the teacher and the students who are trying to pay attention and do their work." There are some d ays when the teacher is gone and the substitute is there and they are not able to help students with the questions they have for that day's work. Sophomores Travis Parrack and Nate Foley said, "Mr. Driver is our favorite sub. He explains things thoroughly if you don' t understand the work." Mr. Schick said, "The most humiliating thing I have ever done is during Parent Teacher Conferences. A mother and student came in and I didn't recognize the student's face . I looked at the mother's last name and immediately knew the student. So, I went on with the conference talking to the student about her grades and how she was doing. When the conference was over the student said, Tm not your student, I go to Wilson."'

Mike Nuschy became the new special education teacher while Camelle Yost and Traci Bloom were appointed the job of teaching Family and Consumer Science.

" I was surprised when Ms. Peterson came to teach here since I knew her as a softball coach, it was nice to see her in the halls," junior Arny Doty said. The veteran teachers showed the new teachers the ropes and still had time to give them some out of class pointers.

Among those enjoyable things were movies, music, style and trends. When it came to movies junior Krissy Mandolfo said, "I liked Jerry Maguire, because the little boy is so cute." Sophomore Jared Podraza said, /1 I liked Liar Liar, because Jim Carey is my favorite actor." Senior Jamie Pogge said, "Picture Perfect is the best movie, because it's a good chick flick." Along with every movie there was always a song to go with it. Junior Jaka Schuster said, "My favorite song is 'You Make Me Wanna' by Usher because not only is it a good song, but it also reminds me of what always happens to me." Sophomore Josh Sevey said, "My favorite song is 'Flow' by Smash Mouth, but I really don't know why." Junior Shaunte! Krisel said, "I liked the Barbie Girl song because when I was little people said that I reminded them of a Barbie." Movies and music not only reflected current styles and trends, but so did clothes. Among the trends were clogs and bell bottoms. Not only were they hip, but they were really popular with students. Styles, clothes and trend s varied fror person to person. Some p eople liked th casual look or the grunge look while oth ers went for the preppy look.

Students served detentions while they ate lunch in the auto shop room. Assistant Principal John Neal, who is in charge of attendance, said, "Detentions are to make students miserable." Taking away students' open campus privileges made them pretty miserable. Junior Rachelle Booher commented that she'd rather have detentions after school so she and her friends could do things at lunch. "!think that it's totally unsanitary. They shouldn't make us eat in the auto shop room," junior Autumn Rockwell said . According to Mr. N eal the room was inspected by health officials and met all inspections. The only reason the auto shop was chosen was because it was the only available room. "I like lunch detentions better than staying after school and it doesn't interfere w ith after school activities," junior Janie Aldredge said . Mr. Neal said it didn't matter if it was con venient for the students, it was whether the problem got solved or not. The lunch detentions produced a higher percentage of people showing u p for detentions which lead to the conclusion that lunch detentions were working. Another focus for stu d ents was to ir crease their knowledge and u e of t -t nology. This was accomplished by tt addition of new computers.

Off to school he went, 10 blocks in the cold, snowy weather, as it had begun snowing that afternoon and proved to be a miserable day. Boyer took the band pictures and completed his assignment.

The Cash Back receipt program sp onsored by the Mall of the Bluffs helped many schools out by donating money. A number of students participated by taking receipts from stores they had bough t items from in the past and putting them in a box that was labeled w ith their school name. Each school received a certa in amount of points for the amou nt shown on the receipt. After points were add ed , the school with the highest p oint totals received money . Biology teacher Bud Mead e said, "I am grateful to the businesses tha t are willing to d ona te to schools that want to participate. It's not just one school, it's m any . I think it's great! " There were many studen ts that helped benefit the school just by turning in receipts. Sophomore N ate Foley said, "I participa ted in the cash back because I thou ght the school d eserved it." Within the school there w as a contest betw een homerooms to see who could bring the m ost r eceipts. The top homerooms were rewarded with various prizes such as a field trip to Harveys for a free lunch, gift certificates and doughnuts. At the beginning of the year each stud ent was introd uced to their new best friend, their agenda . The new agend as were to be used fo r various things th rou ghou t th e school day. They included a stamp for internet u se, the code of conduct and a calendar for assignmen ts. Most importantly they con tained a new system for hall passes. One could not leave the classroom w ithout their agend a in hand. "I like the agendas because it's more convenient and it puts more pressure on stu d ents to be prepared for class," history teacher John McKinley said . "I think agendas are okay, they keep me more organized than withou t ha - ing one," freshman Ana Martinez said. Some stu dents had comp lain t about the agend as. "I think they were a hassle to carry arou nd all the time," sophomore Jenn y Bowen said. "A piece of paper is much easier t carry around, it fits in you r pocket much better than a book, especiall when you have to goto the bathroom, " sophomore 1eorg<> Ro ·efand said. Students that got caught in the hall after the bell rang received two deten tions, and if caught without their agenda they rPceived two more. No matter what one's opinion wa of the new pass system, it looked like they were booked for life. ~ ---- I I' I CASH BACK.

For the first time septuplets were born and all seven babies survived. The babies were born to Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey in Des Moines. Bobbi, 29, was bedridden for months before the actual delivery of the septuplets. There were four boys and three girls. The birth miraculously only took seven min - utes, from 12:48 p.m. to 12:54 p .m . Along with seven new babies the family received many new gifts. The gifts included: diapers for life, a new house, baby goods from Gerber and a full sized van that seated 15 people. The gifts helped support the family, which already had one daughter and made their three member family a 10 member family overnight. Birthdays come and go, from January to December, most people look forward to their birthdays each year. Some students like the gifts or the n ew responsibilities that come with each year they grow older. "I love birthdays. I love the presents and the parties," sophom ore N ikki Moraine said. "The older I get the more responsible my mom thinks I am," junior Sarah Field s said. Major birthdays can be memorabL ones. "There are new things you can when you get older, at 16 you can d ri ·t at 18 you can vote and are consid ered c I adult.

Earning a good grade or getting plenty of sleep? For many the two went hand in hand. Whether the student stayed up late to study or they got a good night's sleep and blew off studying, many found cheating to be the right answer. Cheating was not the only by-product of abnormal sleeping habits. The amount of sleep received affected everything that a student's body could or could not do. There were various reasons that students did not get enough sleep. Those ranged anywhere from getting home late because of work to staying up la te watching T.V. For many, sleep deprivation became a part of life. "I am sleep deprived just like every other teen, but the difference is that I have come to accept the fact that it is just a part of life and I need to live with it," junior David Pitt said. After a while, droopy eyes and yawns during history lectures became a habit and were hard to do away with. One common way of getting more sleep was sleeping pills. "I take them so that I can get more sleep," sophomore Stepha nie Gray said. One popular idea for ending sleep deprivation was to have school delayed by two or three hours every day. "The administration should get smart and start school three hours later so we can get more sleep. Then "'t wouldn't be so tired, fall asleep in class, flu out of school and go on to lead truly worthl and degrading lives," junior Audra Nuzu said. Sleep deprivation was not the only practi that was common among students. Cheati11·' was also rampant whether caused by n sl or just pure laziness. For most the lure t 100 ata neighbor's test, borrow a friend's pa pert "compare" answers or take out a handy che sheet proved to be too tempting. "I sav\' person write the answers on their hand an i was a fifty question test!," sophomore Lauri Park said. The decision to cheat did not come witl1 )t' conquences. When students were caught ch at ing they were punished in various ways. "I pk up their test and tear it up," special ed- ucatil) teacher Chuck Black said Consequences or n consequences students still felt the n ed. h cheat.

The contest ran from December to January. Teams of four students were placed against other student teams. It was much like the TV show Jeopardy. The prize was a listing of the first place team on a trophy that w as kept in room 109, where the contest was held. Two dollars was required of every team to help pay for the engraving and the buzzers used during the competition. Though the competition was intense, it was quite friendly and players from opposing teams left chatting and laughing together. All in all, the contest went well and was especially rewarding for God iva's Army, the winner of the cornpetiton. Seniors Luke Gutzwiller, Shan non Bu rgstrum, Jared Powell and Justin Poast ·met every challenge and conquered every time. They won by a large margin in every match.

Freshman Josh Nuno reads about the tragic death of Princess Diana. By Reggan Wilson & Laura Fuhs Photos by Michaela Kanger The national news was filled with both heartbreaking and distressing events during the months of August and September that affected the students, as well as the world. Thedeathof Princess Diana was a shock to many. On Au g. 31 the car Diana was in crashed into the wall of the tunnel at Pont del' Almabridge killing Diana, Dodi Fayed, the chauffeur and seriously injuring Diana's bodyguard. It was first thought that paparazzi were pursuing the car, causing the car to lose control in the pursuit. Some of the photographers w ere arrested and then later released when they found that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident. The princess was laid to rest at the Althorp Estate on Sept. 7 at the age of 35. The day before the funeral of Diana, the loss of Mother Teresa was also felt around the world. She died of a heart attack. The services were held at the St. Thomas Catholic Church in Calcutta. Back in the states tragedy struck w hen an outbreak of E-coli caused 10 deaths and many others to become ill. Many food servicing establishments were not able to serve beef for a few days. "When I w ent to Burger King's drive through they said they only had fish or chicken," senior Carrie Baxter said. The cause of the E-coli break-out was never d etermined. Another loss of service to the country occurred w hen U.P.S. employees went on strike. Chaos was abundant across the nation with packages being d elayed and not delivered. The workers were not satisfied with their pay and benefits and therefore decided to strike until they received a pay raise. " My brother almost had to delay his wedding because they didn't think the wed ding dresses would get here on time," ju nior Amy Doty said. Events that effected the world also hit home in the lives of students and faculty. E. COLI. Local Burger King restaurants were forced to limit their menu due to the E. Coli scare during the summer. No red meat was served during the 24 hour confusion.

Senior Pa t Rose helps with the food drive. l-...;_ ,., --~J ' ~ By Ricky Proslow & Bobby Rich Photos by Michaela Kanger & Chad Boyer As the new year approached, many students and teachers had an idea of what their resolution was going to be. The question was whether they would follow through with it or not. Social Studies teacher Pat Daugherty said, "My resolution is to not make resolutions." Several students had resolutions concerning school. Some said they would come to school more often and get better grades. Others just wanted to pass a class. Some were also habit-ending resolutions. Junior Jamie Aldredge said, "My resolution is to stop procrastinating." Others said they would stop biting their nails, stay ungrounded and stay out of trouble. Some students had resolutions that were more long term, such as finding the right girl, working out everyday, practicing tennis skills and just being a better person. "My New Year's Resolution was to stay in shape for track and lose the extra pounds I gained over Christmas break," senior Josh Flaharty said. "It isn't tough to think of a resolution, it's just tough to keep it, "English teacher Jane Howard said. For many students Christmas vacation was just time away from school and time for relaxation. There were students who were never home during break. "I did anything and everything just to get out of my house and keep away from my family during vacation," junior Michaela Kanger said. Sports was one activity that kept many students busy during Christmas vacation. Junior Ryan Redding said," I had swim practice everyday except Christmas and New Year's." "Basketball practice was pretty much all I did," senior Kelly Foster said. New releases at the theaters gave some students something to do. "I lifted weights and went to movies during break," senior Nick Hollinger said. Making money was on the minds of many students as they spent their vacation working. "I worked tons of hours during vacation but I did make some money though, so it was worth it," senior Dawn Thelen said. Christmas vacation gave all a time to do what the plea ed whether working, playing or making resolutions. DANCE-FOR JOY.

These are just some of the emotions one might feel when visiting a different country on vacation. Now imagine having these emotions for an entire year. That is how foreign exchange students seniors Robert Blotevogel of Germany, Laura Cuhna of Brazil and Minako Tome of Japan felt as they walked the halls. The most exciting thing for Blotevogel and Cuhna were the sports. As for Tome it was the clothing freedom. "I tried volleyball for awhile. The day after my first practice I was so sore. I decided I didn't want to do that any more," Cuhna said. "The whole atmosphere is really cool, especially at the football games," Blotevogel said. "Your clothes are so free. You can wear anything you want," Tome said. Even with all the excitement the students missed their families. Blotevogel missed his friends the most. Cuhna even left her boyfriend to come to America. "I miss him very much, but we talk on the phone," Cuhna said. "My family is w hat I miss, but I like it here also," Tome said. Veteran students helped the new students get over their homesickness and enjoyed having them in class. "Everyone has been very accepting," Blotevogel said. Cu hna, Tome and Blotevogel agreed that everyone was really nice. For Tome there were differences in American schools and her Japanese school. "In Japan students have to w ear school uniforms and w hite socks. The girls aren't allowed to wear make-up, earrings or have long fingernails. Also in P.E. freshmen and sophomores have separate boy and girl classes," Tome said. Even w ith the differences Tome said, "I like it here. " Besides the fun, the main goal for the exchange students was to learn more English and to learn how to adjust to new things. Problems were few and far between because of all the helpful people. "The only problem that I have had is with my locker, but I figured it out," Blotevogel said. The students planned on learning as much about America and its culture as they could before they returned to their native countries. SCHOOL DAZE.

Junior Josh Fouts plays a prank on senior Pat ose. This prank could have been dangerous but everyone was okay. By Stephani Maron Photos by Josh Weesn er As humans, it seems that everyone finds humor in the humiliation of another person. Possibly, it's nut just to have a laugh at the other's expense, but many times that's th e way it seems. Many times no harm is meant by the common prank, but sometimes the pranks cause emotional or physical distress. Physics teacher Terry Todd said, "On our way to grandma's house with a bucket of crawdads for fishing, I decided to play a cute little trick on my mother whose arm was dangling out of the window in the front seat. I picked up a crawdad from the bucket of bait and placed it on my mother's arm. She panicked and grabbed hold of my father who just happened to be driving. Apparently that startled him and he swerved off the road into a ditch. That one little prank could have caused the death of our whole family." Luckily, for Mr. Todd, they were able to pull the car out of the ditch and nobody was hurt. Emotional frustration could be the result of another harmless prank. "I told a kid who was few years younger than me that there was going to be a toga party later that night. He was supposed to have been home by 4:30 p.rn. that day, but he didn't leave until 10 p .rn. when he realized there was no party. He left for home extremely angry and beat himself before he got home. He told his morn that he got beaten up on the way home and that was why he was late. His morn didn't buy the story, and he w as grounded for three months," junior Brad Blakeman said. Pranks aren't all about the person who plays them on someone else. Often, the person who the prank is played on remains silent so few people will find out that they were pranked. Senior Nick Brougham said, "I was at a party, I fell asleep and someone put hot sauce in my mouth. I ran to get a drink of water, I got so hot that I stripped off my clothes. Everyone was laughing hilariously at me. Throu ghout the whole incident, I thought I was dreaming." "Even if one person thinks a prank is really funny, the person who the prank is on usually ends up getting hurt or feeling really stupid," freshmen Jill Wallace and Becky Navarrette said. Pranks can be fun as long as they remain harmless and nobody gets hurt. But for all those pranksters, watch you r back because you might get a taste of your own medicine. T.P. TIME.

Senior Mark Smith sits in class showing other students his wild personality. By Janelle Walters Photos by Michaela Kanger Pay Attention! Students have all heard those w ords repeatedly in their lifetime. Some just can't help but make those lon g lectures in class somewhat exciting. Some students don't try to be funny it just comes naturally. For sophomore Jonathon Taylor many students find him to b e one of the biggest class clowns. Taylor said, "I've been a class clown since I was in kindergarten. I don't care if people think I'm annoying or obnoxious, I'm just being m yself!" Junior Lindsay Jastorff said, " A class clown can w ear on your nerves because they usually end up getting the w hole class in trouble. When someone is honestly funny they know w h en to stop." "The biggest class clow n around is Jessica Bittner. She can get anybody laughing in a second. She's the funniest person I know, especially when she starts talking about Dave Letterman!" senior Brandie Jacoby said. "The only person that I know that is funnier than I am is Brandie Jacoby. She is a hoot in class. I wish I could be half as funny as her. Boy she sure is funny!" senior Jessica Bittner said. It isn't just students that play the class clown role. There are teachers that have fun while teaching. Many students find Drama teacher John Gibson the biggest class clown around. Junior Michelle Medearis an d sophomore Branden Hunt said, "Even if we' re in a bad mood, w e don't leave Mr. Gibson's room without laughing." English teacher Dan Koch enjoys having fun in class but knows when to d raw the line. Senior Kane Kuhn and Mr. Koch said, "We're n a turally funny, but we don' t need to act it. We were born to be corny ." Sophomore Jamie Gladwell said, "Th ere is nothing wrong with being funny, you just h ave to know when to stop. Most of my teachers can b e funny if they really want to, but when the students start getting out of line the teacher usually stops the clow ning arou nd and gets the class going on work that needs to be done. So in other words, you can have fun in class but learn w h ere to draw the line so that the entire class will not get into trouble." So from bein g class clown or just plain funny there are many different types of personalities. CLASS CLOWN. Junior Jose Vargas is clowning around with fellow classmates.

Cha, ching. Words often heard when one becomes a senior. Among the things that reduced the patience and emptied the pocketbooks of seniors were the costs for announcements, cap and gown and senior pictures. And that was just the beginning. With the end of high school, many seniors considered going to college. With college came tuition expenses, not to mention mere application fees. Many seniors were responsible for a part of their tuition, if not all of it, challenging their ability to fill out financial aid forms and scholarship applications. Senior Jared Powell said, "If I go to Creighton University, I will need tons of scholarships to help me pay for tuition." Some fortunate students were able to find alternatives to the high prices and were able to cut costs. Some decided to stay home for college, others picked a cheaper package of senior pictures. Senior K ylene Kermoade said, "I was a representative for Jack Hanson Photography, so I saved about $200 on my pictures." A final alternative to saving money during one's senior year was to simply go without the extras. Powell said, "I just didn't get a class ring." Reflecting on all of the costs of the year, senior Justin Nourse said, "When it comes to all of the money I've spent on senior stuff this year, I don't know where to begin." The thought that one would only be a senior once somewhat comforted the broke seniors. Nikki L. Baker Enjoli M. Barksdale Jason L. Barlow Carrie I. Baxter Shawn S. Beu William E.

Seniors • 127 • 0 By Bobby Rich Photos by Michaela Kanger Performance Based Assessments (PBA's) became a factor on graduating. The class of '98 was the first graduating class that was required to have 21 validations along with 44 credits to graduate. Students earned the checkoffs in various categories such as, Complex Thinker, Knowledgeable Person, Effective Communicator, Self-Directed Learner, Quality Producer, Collaborative Participant. To get the total of 21 checkoffs students needed 7 CT, 7 KP, 4 EC, 1 SDL, 1 QP, and 1 CP. To earn the 21 checkoffs students needed to complete tasks. A lot of seniors already had all of their validations before mid term. Senior Josh Jackson said," I received all my validations by the end of my junior year." Many students felt that the validations were not needed. Senior Andy Sivertson said, "I didn't understand why they even started the PBA' s in the first place." Others felt that the PBA's were no different than doing regular work, but with the validations. Senior Ryan Ronk said, "The validations just make it harder to earn the grade and harder to graduate." Jackson also commented on the future of PBA's for students. "If they keep putting more and more pressure on the validations, it's going to make it harder to graduate for upcoming classes," Jackson said Senior Rusty Thomsen said, "I thinkPBA'sarehelpful.

Some students got a head start by taking college credit classes during high school. Some of the complications were taken out when it came to fees and registering for these courses. More and more students took advantage of the service that was provided by the school district. The classes that were taken for credits were: Senior English, Calculus, Physics, Trigonometry, Government and Human Biology. There was no cost to the students for any of the Early Start classes, the school district paid the bill. Students had to take an Asset test to be eligible for a college course. In the past, a student could take the test as many times as they wanted before they passed it. Now students could only take the test one time. Senior Ron Watts said, "Taking these classes really gave me a head start. Now when I go to Creighton, I can focus on more important things, since some of the basic stuff is out of the way." Early Start college credit courses were a great way to get an edge on others and take advantage of a no-cost college education.The only disadvantage that students could find is the ASSET test. Senior Justin Poast said, " The ASSET test was kind of hard. But it is well worth the effort since you get college credits for the course. A college credit is very important to me.

Senior John Sinnott said, "I want to be a bio-chemist, so I can work with the FBI and high profile crimes. All of the money I would be making would be a nice extra." Still, others' dreams seemed farfetched and would require quite a bit of work. Senior Andy Brodahl said, "I'm going to own my own island with the only natural resource being beautiful women."

"When I start a sentence," senior Stephani Maron said. "I just have to finish it," senior Jessica Rinehart said. "People tend to think Stephani and I are twins because we wear the same clothes, and do everything together. We're very different people and because of our different personalities, it keeps us friends. You'll always see us in the hall we're like siamese twins but not connected," Rinehart said. Can a male and female be friends? "Bobby Gittins and I have been friends since our freshman year. I believe opposite sex friendships can be confusing. No matter what, we are still friends," senior Lisa Schlotfeld said. "Joaquina Borunda and I have been acquaintances since kindergarten but really we've became better friends over high school years by having classes together," senior Jennifer Nelson said.

Some seniors joined the armed forces. Students that joined the armed forces got a head start on their future. Some students who signed up to serve in the army began their career while still in high school. Throughout the year these students not only went to school all week, but were also required to attend a certain number of sessions of training on weekends. "If you sign up to leave before July you have the option to get some training done ahead of time. This allows you to leave earlier," senior army recruit Josh Ebert said. According to senior army recruit Troy McAtee, since he wasn't leaving for boot camp until after graduation he was only required to attend weekend training once a month. "To prepare us for boot camp, one day out of every month we all get together and learned something new. One time we had to study maps and then the next time they wanted to do something fun, so we went bowling. I guess they just wanted us to get in the army a tmosphere," McA tee said. Senior Don Zdan also enlisted in the army. Zdan said, "I wanted to be in the army because it gives me a chance to serve my country. I think it's a neat opportunity and I wanted to try it."

"Hockey takes a lot of my time. Practices run two hours a night, four days a week. From August to March there is a lot of weekend time spent traveling to play out of town teams. All the long, hard hours of practice have paid off because the Gladiators are among the top teams in the Iowa High School Hockey League." Hockey is not a school related activity, but when students heard that some students wrestled, they automatically thought that they wrestled for the school. Senior Mark Smith wrestled out of school. "I like to wrestle because I can get out in the ring and show myself how good I can really be. If I do not win, it makes me try even harder the next time," Smith said. It is a different story for senior Tu Nguyen. Nguyen had been perfecting the technique of karate for ten years. He stopped karate two years ago due to other activities. "I just lost interest in karate after doing it for so long. I have too many other activities to do."

Yes, many seniors felt this when trying to decide on what day Senior Skip Day would be. Senior Skip Day was held on May 15, but many students were in school due to sports conflicts. For those students who were able to take part in this senior tradition, the day was filled with unexpected events. Mother Nature took her toll and left some seniors stuck at home. Even the tornado sirens could not put a damper on this special occasion for others. Some students decided to take a road trip and visit friends. Senior April Slack drove an hour and a half to see her boyfriend. "I woke up at about noon and packed my bags. Then I went to see my boyfriend who lives in Bedford, IA. I got stuck by a train and it took forever," Slack said. For some, skip day was not a very pleasant experience. Senior Katie Hunt had to get her wisdom teeth removed. "My appointment was for 7:30 a.m., but I was in the waiting room until 10:30 a.m. Then I finally got my wisdom teeth pulled.

Junior J ustin Kammrad a long with graduate Tommy Parrack helped to lead the team to success. Kammrad led the team in homeruns with 6 and Parrack had a .433 batting average. Five Yellow Jacket players were selected to the All-City team. They were Marc Berry, Jason Mcintosh, Parrack, Harvey Coble and Kammrad. Parrack made first team AllState, and made the All-Star Team. The junior varsity team felt they played with pride . "Coach said we had the best record of any team he has ever coached," said junior Mark Showers. The J.V. team finished its season with a record of 28-11. s T According to Coach Murphy it was the most wins in ten years. The players and fans could always sense the emotion in the game. "With sophomore Jared Podraza stepping up this season to make some really great plays, other players took his lead and stepped up also to make the season memorable," Showers said. The freshmen team finished its season with the record of 28-7. Sophomore Chad Dennis said, "Chad Jensen really stepped up from the lower ranks to become a clutch hitter." The team finished the season placing second in the conference. Sophomore Nate Foley said, "We all played well as a team and individually." Through the entire season the players hoped to play as a team, and they felt they accomplished that.

" 146 • Sports GIRLS OF SUMMER SEE By Trisha Richardson Photos by Michaela Kanger HEY BATTER, BATTER! Junior Amanda Moore steps up to the plate getting ready to smack the ball. The softball season was full of positive and negative moments. A very negative memory for the girls was when the storage shed was broken into. The night before a home game all the bats, softballs, pitching machines, balls, whiffle balls, helmets and all the other equipment was throwninto Wilson's pool and ruined. The coaches had to go buy brand new bats so they could play in the game the following day. The girls were responsible for holding a garage sale at school to raise money for new equipment to be bought. People offered donations to the team to help out. Even though there were bad memories the good outweighed the bad. "At practice, Coach Peterson hit a ball way deep. Alex LeGuillou was running to catch it and flipped over the fence," sophomore Lyndsey Neill remembered as a humorous memory. Another highlight of the season was when the team joined in with A.L.'s softball team to have a clinic for little girls to raise money. The clinic was held at C.B. Stadium. The girls learned how to catch a softball, how to rw1 bases, sliding and how to hit. "It was a lot of fun.Not only for the little girls, but for the older ones too," junior Regan Williams said. All-City team members included graduates Melissa Rocha, Jena Verpoorten, and Laurie White. All-Tournament team for Missouri Valley was White and freshman Tina Bonacci. Awards for the season went to; Varsity: Rocha (M.V.P.), Kylene Kermoade (spirit), Williams (coaches s T award) and Rocha (sportsmanship). For the freshmen team M.V.P. went to Jessica Van Fossen and spirit went to Jenny Raim. The season ended with a 14- 18 record. One game with Logan Magnolia ended in a tie because of the lights going out on the field. "I'll always remember when Kelly Foster hit a homerun. Foster is so small, no one thought she could do it, but she did," LeGuillou said. "Melissa Rocha hitting a homerun off of A.L's pitcher, Heidi Livingston, is something to remember," Neill said. The top hitters for the team were Rocha with a .370 batting average and Bonacci w ith a .330 batting average. The girls proved that they were up to any challenge and could face any hardship that they encountered.

By Jeff Diamond Photos By Michaela Kanger INSPIRATION IS THE KEY! Coach Pat Daugherty gives the team some advice on how to win on and off the football field. The varsity football program turned the tables during the season, winning five out of nine games for an above .500 win average. The season was full of highlights that players and fans were very proud of. They finished second in the River Cities Conference and defeated Roncalli in the Homecoming game which hadn't been won in 19 years. The team also beat cross town rival A.L. impressively. "We played very well as a team and had a good season, despite barely missing the playoffs," said Head Coach Dan Strutzenberg. Mr. Strutzenberg talked about rebuilding the football program and changing the losing ways since he took over as head coach in 1994. In 1997 he guided the program to new heights. Some of the team's success might have been attributed to two former coaches rejoining the staff. Coach Pat Daugherty and Coach Bob Nielsen returned to give some experience to the coaching staff. "I was very satisfied personally to have the kind of year we did. We had lots of talent to work with this season," Coach Daugherty said. That talent resulted in the best record in the 1990's. The players were very grateful for the coaching staff. Senior Nick Hollinger took the liberty of having every piayer on the team sign a football and dedicate it to the coaching staff. "It was our way of thanking the coaches for every thing they have done for us throughout our years here," Hollinger said. Weightlifting also played a part in the success of the team according to players. Most of the players lifted from the end s T of last year through the season. The players lifted before school or after school and some participated in the Ironman program. "Lifting weights enabled me to compete at a higher level," said junior linebacker Matt DeWolf. The weight room w as also open to players in the summer. "Since most of the linemen I go up against are taller than me, lifting all through the summer enabled me to get more leverage on them and break through the line," said senior defensive tackle Oral White. Team awards were a highlight of a few of the players season's. SeniorTomReikofski won the Butkus Aw ard for the team's best linebacker. Offensive and defensive players of the year were aw arded to junior Justin Kammrad and senior Josh Ream.

Junior Sarah Morris keep s her balance after hitting the volleyball. A new coaching addition and new wuforms were all plans of the new season. Some of these plans came to be, while others did not. The new addition to the staff came from Rachel Eikenberry who joined Coach Mike Bond in his varsity coaching duties. Sophomore Lindsay O'Dell said, " 'Ike the Spike' was a great addition to the team, she helped me improve my skills and improve as a player." Ms. Eikenberry came with a lot of experience. She was a middle hitter during her collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame. As the new season began the team anxiously awaited their promised new uniforms. As the weeks progressed this however did not occur. The uniforms were ordered but did not arrive until long after the season was over. Coach Mike Bond said, "We ordered the uniforms at the beginning of the year, but the manufacturers didn't make extra large or large uniforms. So to avoid having the whole varsity team in extra-extra large uniforms, we told the manufacturers to hold the order." Senior Annie Hensley was disappointed the team didn't get the new wuforms. Hensley said," I was looking forward to the new uniforms since it was my senior year, of course I was very disappointed." Without new uniforms, but with a new coach the varsity ended its season with a 10-19- 8 record. Hensley was selected for the All-Tournament team in Red Oak. The varsity played well in Districts, winning one game in the first round against Lewis Central, but unfortus T nately lost the match and w as eliminated. Senior April Slack said, "The beginning of the season w as slow . By our District match we had improved as a team and showed a lot of unity. It w asn't a matter of winning or losing, it was a matter of playing together as a team." The junior varsity team finished the season with a record of 6-5-7. There were a number of personnel changes betw een the freshmen, J.V., and varsity teams. The teams h ad to learn to interact with new players and adjust to the changes. Junior Larissa Christensen said, " This year w as fun. We worked w ell w ith all th e changes we w ent throu gh." By the end of the season the team accomplished their goal of playing as a team and showing unity.

"If you can dream it, it can happen," was a quote heard by the cross country members numerous times throughout the season. Senior Don Zdan said, "CoachMuehligused this quote all the time to get us prepared for the meets." The team consisted of 20 boys and eight girls. "Our goal is to be the best we can be," said Coach Doug Muehlig. The teams proved that, they went the distance. A new face was added to the coaching staff. Math teacher Patrick Nepple volunteered his time to work with the runners. "I liked working with the Cross Country teams," Mr. Nepple said. Along with a new coach, more victories were added this season. The boys' team placed first in the Tri-Center Invite, Cyclone Invite and Missouri Valley Invites. The team also won the Abraham Lincoln Invitational. It was the first time in nine years that they had taken the title and only the second time ever. At the end of the season the team took a trip to Fort Dodge to watch and cheer on teammate junior Harvey Coble as he ran at the state meet. Coble qualified for state the week before at districts which were held in Atlantic. Coble placed 56th at state which was the best ever Sk finish by a boy from the school. Coble w as named to the All-Southwest Iowa team along with senior Jolu1 Jensen. Coble also made the All-Conference team. The girls' team also had a good season. Although they only had two seniors and not much depth, the team had to work extra hard during practice and everyone had to step up and show leadership in s T order for the team to show improvement from meet to meet. The upperclassmen especially had to take charge and show a lot of leadership to the younger runners. Junior Linda Eng, a three year participant of the cross country team, said," After participating in the sport for so long you learn to respect the other runners. Especially the ones behind you, because they still finish the r ace ev en though they might be last. " Coach Muehlig gradu ated seven seniors.

Junior Shane Hoss takes a charge. A little heart is all you need according to sophomore Justin Radke. The varsity basketball team finished with the season record of 0-20. The season ended with the 54-94 first round district loss to Sioux City East. Throughout the season they had to find the things that motivated them most, said sophomore Justin Radke. Some of these elements were self-pride, determination and a whole lot of heart. Senior Nick Brougham said, "To be honest, it was hard to keep motivated this year because of the sluggish season. It was a rough year, but I think the guys learned a lot. You learn a lot more from negative situations than positive ones. We practiced hard all year and never quit." Brougham and junior Nacoties Floyd were the season 'leaders. The combined duo averaged 20 points a game. Throughout each game the players tried to take it upon themselves to help the team out in any way possible. "I think Wade Schumann really stepped up this year. He's just a sophomore with a good future ahead of him. He stepped in to the starting role when junior Dennis Owens got hurt. He did a lot of positive things for us. For being a sophomore, he rarely ever made any mistakes," Brougham said. Though many of the players on the team tried to fill the leadership role, the true leader was Brougham according to Coach Colin Smith. "He really came out with a strong attitude and the willingness to succeed," Coach Smith said. Brougham proved to the team what leadership really meant. I N s T "I kind of took the leader role by calling people up in the summer and trying to get them active with lifting, tournaments and that sort of thing. I just tried to lead by example, by working hard during the season and during the off season," Brougham said. "Even though w e had a rough year, we still worked hard and never gave up. The fans who kept coming to the games and really getting into the games even though we didn't do well this year, were a tremendous support to the team," Brougham said. The Junior Varsity finished with a 3-14 record. Coach Dave Murphy said, "Overall, everybody show ed a big improvem en t on their ind ividual skills." The sophomore team finished with the record of 5-12. A - N T S C 0 R E S Opponent TJ Ron calli 81 45 Sioux City West84 32 S.

Senior Alex .eGuillou shows her shooting t to the crowd at the New icldhouse. The varsity girls' basketball team had a record of 4-17. They had victories over Ralston, Sioux City North, Boystown and Mercy. Although they started out with a strong 2-2 record, the victories did not continue. Along with Social Studies teacher Todd Barnett, English teacher Jack French coached the team. "It's worth the effort" was the teams motto. "Everyone worked hard at practice, but only five could be on the floor at a time. This meant that on the court or on the bench we were all a team," senior Alex LeGuillou said. Senior Annie Hensley broke a school record with 15 rebounds in one game and senior Christy Whyte was close to breaking a school record with five three pointers in a game. Whyte was also named I to the All-City team. The six seniors were named the MVP's. That included Hensley , Whyte, LeGuillou, Kelly Foster, Kylene Kermoade and Brenda Sturm. Foster also received a sportsmanship award. "Having six seniors gave the team a lot of leadership and gave the younger players people to look up to," junior Larissa Christensen said. LeGuillou said, "With almost the same teaIIJ. as last year we had a pretty good season. We were close in a lot of games, which caused many tears." The junior varsity ended their season with a 4-13 record. Junior Stephanie Simpson said, "Regardless of our record the season was awesome. I became good friends with a lot of underclassmen. The Gross game sticks out in my N s T mind also." "I thought the JV season went pretty well," sophomore Nikki Moraine said. "Towards the end of the season is when we did our best. The Gross game was probably the best game we played. It was close, but they won on a last second shot." The freshmen had a record of 0-18. Math teacher Brenda Mechels coached the freshmen. "We stuck together as a team and we didn't give up," freshman Aimee McVey said. "I had fun playing basketball and working with my teammates," McVey said. The team ended their season with a banquet, which was held at Godfathers. The girls' received their awards from the coaches and got the season's stats.

The season had a lot of obstacles, from injuries to not enough wrestlers to fill the weight classes. Overall the season went well. Junior Nick Blanchard and senior Mark Smith started off the season by winning two tournaments back to back. Although, four wrestlers were out with injuries and four weight classes needed to be filled the team managed to still compete. "The team would have been better if we had a wrestler for every weight class," Blanchard said. "For the youth and number of wrestlers, we had a great season," Coach Mike Witt said. "Everyone had to pull together and they all did very well." Some wrestlers were forced to compete at a different weight class in order to fill spaces of missing wrestlers to ·- give the team a chance at winning. This' meant some wrestlers had to cut we'ight or wrestle opponents of a heavier weight. That gave some freshmen a chance to wrestle varsity. "It (wrestling at the varsity level) wasn't as hard as I thought it would be," freshman Jason Mickey said. The team consisted of only two seniors, Smith and Don Zdan. "The two seniors, Mark Smith and Don Zdan, were outstanding," coach Witt said. Smith and Zdan showed leadership by example with outstanding records. Smith finished at 21 -7 and Zdan at 28- 10. "I was somewhat disappointed with my season because I always happened to choke in the important situations," Smith said. One highlight of the season I s T was junior Nick Blanchard going to the state tournament. To get to state one needed to place second at districts. Blanchard placed first at Districts and then advanced to state. Blanchard said, "This year it was a lot tougher to get to state." This had been his second year participating at state. At state he w on his first round match then lost in the second and third rounds of the double elimination competition. "I feel that I could have done better, but now I know what to w ork on ," Blanchard said. His final record was 34-6. Some wrestlers kept in shape by competing in the off season to prepare for the consecutive year. Blanchard and others wrestled for a club in the off season to keep their skills fresh.

The Ironman season was a good one for the team. Not only did they break previously set records, but they also gained new honors as they won many meets. For the fourth consecutive year, senior Brian Clark took first at the state competition. Clark also broke the current deadlift record and tied for the squat record in his weight class. Clark took first in his weight class, 123 pounds, in every meet.Junior Matt Harrill also turned some heads with his deadlift. In his weight class, Harrill set a new record of 305 pounds. Clark went to the National High School Power lifting Meet on April 3 in Lincoln, Nebraska. "It has always been a dream or goal to make it to Nationals and my dream has come true, I just hope I represented Ironmen well," Clark said. Clark received the Lifter of the Year Award from the Ironman organization and is the only lifter from Council Bluffs that made it to Nationals. Men were not the only ones who competed and won. The females also held their own. Junior Amanda Moore took first place in her first ever meet. "I only went out for Ironman to help me condition for track and softball. I never really intended to compete. The only reason I did was that my boyfriend talked me into it. I'll never lift competitively again," Moore said. There were four meets in which they competed against Abraham Lincoln and South Sioux City High Schools. Another winter sport that took numerous after school hours was the swimming. The s T team was made up of students from Tee Jay, Abraham Lin- · coln and St. Albert. Coach Mike Hale was the lone coach for the boys' team. Students were members of various relay teams combined with the swimmers of the other three schools. "I really wanted the boys to finish well at Districts. They had to come a long way in a short time and they deserved a chance to compete at state," Mr. Hale said. The girls' also had a new coach for the winter season. "I only went out for swimming because we had a new coach and she helped us a lot," sophomore Becca Moore said. The swim team held only three meets. This season there were four swimmers with sophomore Becca Moore and juniors Jonas Bose, Ryan Redding and Jane Beranek. A N T SC .

RE CORD SEASON By Hope Redmond Photos by Josh Flaharty SEE HARVEY RUN. Junior Harvey Coble runs at a C.B. Stadium. The season was all the boys' track team expected it to be. The first win came at the C.B. Relays where senior Derek Gruber took gold in both the 110-high and 400-low hurdles. The 4x400 relay team, which consisted of juniors J ustin Kammrad, Chris Moore, Mark Showers and sophomore Jonathan Taylor, also won. The 1,600 medley team ran to a victory with an anchor leg run by junior Harvey Coble. "We felt we had a good chance of winning the CB Relays. We had a lot of confidence going in," Showers said. Many records were broken this year including the 4x400. The 4x100 record was broken by senior Mark Gress, Kammrad, Gruber and Showers and the 4x200 record was broken by Taylor, Kammrad, Gruber and Showers. Gruber broke the record in both the 110-ln.igh and 400-low hurdles. Gruber also became the second person in T.J. history to win an event at the Drake Relays when he won the 400- meter low hurdles. "I thought I had a good chance of winning the race. I was very happy afterward. I felt like all my hard work had paid off," Gruber said. At the River Cities Conference meet, Tee Jay came out on top with a score of 116-102 over second place South Sioux City. "After we won the Conference I was real excited. The most memorable part of it to me was the look on Coach Nielsen's face. I'm just glad we won one for him," Taylor said. The team qualified for 12 of the 17 events at state, including all five relays. Gruber qualified in the 110-high hurdles, 400-low hurdles and I s T open 200. Coble advanced in the 800 and 1,600 meters, Kammrad and Gress both made the 100, and senior Justin Nourse qualified in the shot put. The team scored 13 points, earning them 11th place in the State meet. The 4x400 team placed second, breaking the school record for the fourth straight time. The team consisted of Showers, Kammrad, Moore and Gruber. "I just barely held off the Des Moines Valley kid at the end of the race," Gruber said. Nourse placed 6th in the shot put with a throw of 50'8.5" and Taylor, Kammrad, Showers and Coble ran for a 6th place finish in the 1,600 medley. "Without Coach N ielsen and the other coaches w e never would have gone as far as we did this season," Taylor said.

I felt I achieved personal success." Although those were the words of junior Amanda Moore, it seemed as if the whole girls' track team felt the same way. With a season without many wins, the team still had many individuals who improved and succeeded. They felt that was more important than tallies in the win column. Sophomore Tiffany Pogge said, "A lot of people stepped up and tried to be leaders. We had more girls out than last year, so we were able to fill more events. Coaches were easy to get along with, making for a fun year." At the beginning of the season, the girls had to practice a lot inside because of the poor weather conditions. Sophomore Nikki Morraine said, "It would have been better to practice outside because we couldn't practice with our relay teams inside." Highlights of the season included a broken school record, competing at the Drake Relays and the JV team winning the River Cities Conference meet. During the South Sioux City meet the 4x200 meter relay team broke the school record. The team included Moore, senior Alex LeGuillou and sophomores Carla Pollard and Morrnine. Five runners competed at the Drake relays in the 4x 100 meter relay and in the 100 meter dash. One disappointing loss that didn't occur on the track was the departure of the lone senior, LeGuillou. She said, "In the past four years, this was my best year. I changed from a long distance runner to short distance runner. !improved 100% from last I s T year and I was able to run at the Drake Relays." The number of participants went up from previous years drastically. Athletes were allowed to compete in two sports at the same time. "I did much better than I expected. I liked having the chance to do track and soccer," junior Larissa Christensen said. "I'd have to say there were two reasons why there were more girls out. One was the support of other coaches in other sports. Two was the heavy recruiting effort by assistant coach Pa trick N epple," Coach Mike Johnson said. "I thought our season was successful. Our number one goal was for every girl to improve in speed and longevity, which we accomplished. Another goal was for the girls to get in shape and track is just the sport to do that," he said.

A new addition came to the boys' soccer team mid way through the season. This addition was assistant coach and graduate Danny Lamkins. "The season went well after Danny started to help coach the team," junior Jon Ryba said. The first win came against AL in the early part of the season. "It really gave us a lot of confidence to win against our rivals," sophomore Kris Mower said. During the season came many hard practices, rain or shine. "I hated it when we had to practice in the hail, but it is game weather," sophomore Richard LaChappell said. Some had other views on the weather. "Iloved practicing in the rain. It is the funnest," Mower said. The River Cities Conference tournament ended with a loss to Gross. "I was disappointed after the game. I felt that we had a good chance to win. We just didn't do the things that we needed to do," junior Tony Schorg said. Late in the season came the win at the 2nd Annual TJ Classic. "People never think of TJ with a winning soccer team. With a little will and a lot of effort anything is possible," senior Shad Mahanke said. Many memories came out of the three game series. Junior Shane Hoss said, "The thing I remember most during this season, is when we played Lewis Central in the last game of the TJ Classic tournament." The tournament's final game ended with a 1-0 win. "I won't forget blocking Jason Mayor's shot to win the game," Ryba said. Throughout the season many of the players tried to s T take it upon themselves to become a leader. "Sam Barta and Jon Ryba helped the younger players out a lot on defense throughout the sea son, " sophomore Nick Konecny said. Defense played a big part in the tough games. "Defense was the key to winning most of the games. I thought that our team's defense was really strong throughout the whole season," Hoss said. During Districts the team had a rematch with AL The finalscorewas3-1. 'Weplayed them tough throughout the entire game. It came down to the end and we just couldn't pull through and score the goals we needed," La Chappell said. The season ended with an 8-8 record. Even with the .500 season the team felt they succeeded.

Coach French said, "They all needed to be involved in winter leagues to be more competitive." One unexpected event was when the team's van was vandalized. Doty said, 'We were in a tennis center in Sioux City and the guy that worked there asked if that was our van with the window broken.

Senior Jamie Schreiber concentrates as she decides where she wants to place the ball. The girls' tennis team started off their season with a racket. Two new coaches, Nichole Vetter and Brenda Mechels took over the team. Coach Vetter who had previously helped the team finish their last season came back as the head coach. Ms. Mechels filled in as the junior varsity coach. Between JV and Varsity the team consisted of 24 members. That was the most the tennis team had out in many years. Only two varsity letter winners returned. They were seniors Kristina Korte and J arnie Schreiber. The team had more than enough players, but not a lot of experience. Schreiber and Korte took control of the team early. The two seniors not only led practice with stretching and drills, but they also led the varsity with their outstanding play. Juniors Janie Aldredge, Jamie Aldredge, Arny Doty and Misty Richards also contributed to the teams' success by collecting wins throughout the season. Korte said, "At the start of the season we really didn't know how the team would look. After a few matches and wins we knew we were good." The varsity finished with a 7-4 record. They placed fourth in the River Cities Conference meet and Schreiber placed third individually in the tournament. One highlight of the season was when the team defeated cross town rival AL. "I think we surprised a lot of people. Corning into the season with only two returning players, we did pretty well. Defeating AL was probably the best thing that happened this I N s T year. We were all so pumped up," Schreiber said. Schreiber took the number one spot with Korte following at the number two spot. Richards played number three with Doty, Jamie Aldredge, Janie Aldredge and junior Michelle Medearis challenging for the four, five, six and seven spots throughout the year. During regionals, which were held in Des Moines, Schreiber placed third in singles. Two doubles teams, consisting of the Aldred~e sisters, Doty and Medearis, also competed, but failed to place. Doty said, "The entire trip to Des Moines was really fun and a big learning experience for the whole team." The girls made up for the lack of experience with hard work, persistence and lots of effort.

After years of service as head golf coach, Jack Rosenthal retired. Kirk Madsen took over the reigns as coach. "The team showed some signs of life, but it was difficult to keep the enthusiasm up in the fall," junior John Sealock said. No tournaments were won in the fall season, but the effort was there. The weather didn't exactly cooperate with the schedule, forcing some changes in practices. The young men showed improvement, consistently improving their scores and mastering difficult shots. Practices were held at Fox Run golf course. Dodge Park was closed due to repairs on the course. In the past years this is where the practices were held. During the fall, not many . ··i·.:":-.. .·· were out for the sport, but those who participated showed dedication and worked to improve for the spring season. In the spring, the numbers improved greatly for the team. Coach Madsen said, "Participation grew dramatically in the spring. In the past, not many students went out for the sport, but now the sport has grown in popularity and the students are responding to it, it's terrific." Junior Chuck Keefer, who participated in both the fall and spring seasons, said, "It was exciting to see so many of my friends out for golf tin the spring. In the fall, the tournaments were kind of boring because there wasn't many others on the team. The spring season was exciting because I was able to play golf and have some fun withallofmypeers." s T During the spring season the team had many highlights and showed their improvement with lower scores and golfers placing at tournaments. Individually, Sealock tied for tenth place out of 110 golfers in the Bellevue East Invite. Keefer took second place in the City Tournament. As a team they beat Logan with the lowest team score in five years. "The only thing missing is some school support. If we had some of that, then maybe we could perform even better," junior Kyle Behrens said. Coach Madsen said, "I hope that the students stay interested in the sport, because we could always use more players. The turnout for spring was fantastic." Numbers proved to be a factor in the success of the team.

The girls golfers practiced in the san volley ball courts to work on pitching out of the sand traps . G I RLS' G 0 L F FORE. Freshman Sasha Miller w atches her ball to make sure it does not hit any other golfers on the course. As in years past, there were two girls' golf seasons. The girls had the option of playing during one, or both, seasons. The fall season started one week before school and lasted through October. During the season the girls played in the River Cities Conference. The season started with many girls that had never golfed before, so there was a lot of room for improvement. "None of us ever golfed before, so we might not have been the best golfers, but we improved a lot and we all had a lot of fun. So overall it was a pretty good season," sophomore Sara Gutzwiller said. Despite the lack of experience, the girls practiced hard and competed well. "All of the girls worked very hard and put a lot of effort in their games. By the end of the season the girls knew their strengths and .... weaknesses," Head Coach Wayne Mains said. The spring girls' golfers were eagerly waiting to just get outside to practice. The girls practiced in coach Mains' office for the first two weeks due to the wet and cold weather. After the clouds broke up, the girls team grabbed their bags and ran out to practice . There were a record number of players out during the spring season. There were 32 at the beginning of the season, but the numbers diminished to 21 by the end of the season. Due to the increase in numbers the team added some help. This help came in the form of counselor Karla Hughes and P.E. teacher Lavonne Pierson. These two individuals donated their time to help the girls improve their skills. I s T Junior Marie Wajda was the only returning golfer from the previous season. "I think the spring team made a vast improvement from the beginning of the season to the end. I enjoyed golfing with all of the other girls because they were easy to get along with," Wajda said. Both the fall and spring teams practiced at Cerv' s Driving Range and Westwood golf course. A sophomore duffer said, "I stole about 50 balls from Cerv' s, but don't tell anyone because I think I could get in trouble or something. Can't I?" One of the drawbacks of playing golf was the amount of class time that was missed due to all day tournaments. "We missed so many days of school due to games that I was ready to scream," sophomore Jody Churchill said.

Jeremiah's last few moments were spent playing basketball. During the game he suddenly collapsed and died a few minutes later of cardiac an·est. "He was a great person. He always wanted to make people laugh. If you wouldn't laugh he would try harder and he wouldn't do anything until you did laugh. He was a good friend and will be missed by many people," sophomore Katie Adams said. Janet Mitchell On Sunday November 30, 1997 a legacy ended as Janet Mitchell passed away. Mrs. Mitchell was a special education teacher at Tee Jay and had been for many years. Mrs. Mitchell had been fighting a battle with cancer. "The thing I remember the most is that she was really nice and she was always in a really good mood. It was good that she was always in a good mood even though she had so many problems. It taught us a lot," junior Amy Doty said.

Seniors Josh Flaharty and Carrie Baxter receive awards from journalism teacher Deb Goodman a t the River Cities Journalism Award s. Memories of the past ... tomorrow's future? By Brandie Jacoby Photos by Michaela Kanger After yet another school year , an entire year of memories is all that is left. There were so many things to remember. The successful sports teams, the new graduation requirements and Prom at Harveys. The new football coaches, Bob Nielsen and Pat Daugherty, just good, old familiar faces from the past returning to the future. There really were some new faces taking over for the old ones. Kirk Madsen taking over the golf team and Jane Hanigan heading up ASTRA. Are the memories going to be different than the year before? Will they be any different than next year? People coming and going, building improvements and lockers falling apart. Look back to the past, 20 years ago, things don't seem quite so different. The class of '68 was heading out to the real world to find jobs, go to college and start families. The class of '98 seems pretty much the same (yes, college is much more expensive though). Now look 20 years in the future. Technologically, the world will probablybemoreadvanced than one can even imagine. Then again 20 years ago nobody could i1nagine taxes being filed through the internet and even having hopes of making it to Mars. No matter which memories one decided to take with them, they will always be a part of 1998 at Tho1nas Jefferson. The students have left their ' mark on the school and the school has left it's mark on the students. In so many ways the student body will look back to 1998 and remember how it was and how it might always be ... at least in their minds and maybe forever. SIGNING UP.

Closing • 199 Okay well here it goes, my final hurrah. Let's just say I am so glad it is over. All the hard work, the long hours and possessed computers (yes Josh we're still blaming you for the Middle Eastern names you gave them). I guess this is where I am supposed to thank everybody. My mom always tells meJ am no good at thank yous and Goodman always says I don't let anybody help me, so here is the best I can do. Goodman, thanks for not killing me for waking up late the last week I was supposed to be here, you knew I'd make it, eventually. And I'm sorry for turning your daughter into a vegetarian. We had a huge staff with many people who really did try to get their stuff done on time, you know who you are. I knew tne week of bad food and a hard bed during-the summer would motivate Michaela .to take wonderful pictures. Fuhs, you and me at camp proved to be about the worst week of both of our lives, good thing we were together or I don't think either of us would have made it. It seems as tho gh the only people left are the two that fought the most, complained about each other the most and by any bystanders view would think they hated each others guts (I think they might have at one point in time). Goodman could have killed them, but the top secret Top Ten List made everything OK. Bittner and Josh. Josh and Bittner. I just don't know what to say. Bittner you were always there to listen to me complain and to help me write those horrible division pages. You were definitely my moral support, even through the Mr. Larsen era. I'm sure we will continue our infamous top ten lists until we get on the Late Show. Josh you know we really didn't hate you (I didn't anyway and Bittner liked you mo,re than Mr. Larsen at least). I didn't know about you for a while, but you stuck it out with me at the end when we were the lone graduates, not seniors, left in the building. You even tried to hit you know who with me. Thanks all you guys, oh yeah and Mr. Larsen too. I do appreciate all the time and effort everyone put into fhis book, I'm sure all who read will find glimpses of all of us in there. Thank you. 200 • Closing Editor-in-Chief Brandie Jacoby The Yearbook Staff Ad Woman Laura Fuhs Index Lynsi Brooks Lynsie Nelson Photo Editors Michaela Kanger Ryan Wood Graphics Josh Flaharty Editor-in-Chief Brandie Jaco by Student Life Stephani Maron Jessica Rinehart Organizations Amy Doty Mindi Richardson Sports K ylene Kermoade Ricky Prosolow Bobby Rich People Laura Herrick Lori McVey Academics Jackie Hammers Senior Section Janelle Walters Carrie Baxter Business Manager Mindi Richardson Writers & Photographers Enjoli Barksdale, Jamie Barth, Natalie Biede, Daniell Birchard, Chad Boyer, J eci Carroll, Jeff Diamond, Crystal Dirks, Sara Foster, Andrea Hall, Nicki Hall, Kami Hammond, Jamie Kennedy, Loni Koopmeiners, Jeremy Maschmeier, Jennifer McClelland, Olivia Perez, Dawn Radice, Hope Redmond, David Reynolds, Trisha Richardson, Luke Samsted, Ben Schroeder, Jennifer Sharp, Rusty Thomsen & Reggan Wilson Colophon Adviser Deb Goodman The 74th volume of the Monticello was printed by the Jostens Publishing Company in Topeka, Kansas.
