Connie Wood Mary Schnitker Melodrama is a very old style play using the old school acting methods. The flowery speeches are done to the audience. The gestures are over done and the exits and entrances are flourished . The audience takes part by throwing peanuts and booing. Today they are not taken seriously when presented. The actors use the "tongue-in-cheek" method but take the situation seriously . Mr. Hillgas, the direc tor, did a fine job in presenting this play. - --------- BACKSTAGE 33 POP CONCERT : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :~~: : ~: ~ . . .. . . . . . . .. . . .. . . .. . . .. . . .. . ... .. . . .. . . .. . . . ···~ .. • r ... 34 :: AWARDS DAY Pep Club Band Award- Teresa Olsen Band Thank You , Herma Honor Students The Interested Audience Student Council SENIOR AWA RDS Best Personality: Vocal Award Kathleen Kuster Bev Killpack and Charles Redinbaugh Most Likely to Succeed: Kathle en Kuster and Alan Oltmanns Best All-Round Student: Denise Corrin and Les Harman Best Actor: Ric Rodenburg Best Actresses: Kathy Kahler and Pat Larson Prettiest Girl: Maiy Ryan Best-Looking Boy: Denny !wen Best Athlete: Patti Heim and Jeny Wilson Best Indu strial Arts Student: Russell Miller Best Vocalist: Teresa Olsen Best Instrumentalist: Patti Bertelsen Best Speakers: Nancy Tighe and Karen Lynam 35 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 36 ROMEO AND JULIET The Junior-Senior prom was held on the evening of April 25.

HORACE To create a living memory, a record composed of pictures and a few well-chosen words has been the purpose of many hours of work spent on THE TROJAN. We have endeavored to paint a full portrait of the school year - the moments of pride, glory, defeat, victory, enlightenment, accomplishment, and spirit. It is our hope that in the years to come these pages will bring the past year at TRI-CENTER sensually to life - because we believe in memories. We thank you, the student body, for your patience; we realize you've waited long for your yearbook, but unfortunately we could do nothing to speed the processes which would have enabled you to receive your yearbook earlier. We remind those of you who are now T-C students, that this book is yours and should be shared by you, the work involved, as well as the rewards of the finished product. If some things are not as you feel they should be , please accept our apologies. Respectfully , Kathy Oloff Mrs. M. K. Marr ADVERTISEMENTS MATI ANDERSON FORD MERC.

After a dismal TC 18 6 Underwood forecast predicted by the Omaha World-Herald (what's TC 26 15 Carson a World Herald?) the Trojans wound up an exciting TC 50 12 Walnut season with a 6-3 record. 2 1 Row 1: D. Barrier, G. Steinbock, M . Audesmore, M. Pogge, P . Martens, R. Christiansen, V. Olsen, ~ Dollen, R. Johnson. Row 2: C. Willard, H. Leaders, B. Soppe, J. Fischer, M. Sorensen, D. Lefeber, K. Heim, D. Stamp, S. Lefeber, D. Dollen. Row 3: C. Nelson, D. Hester, B. Jensen, L. Kline, J. Alfers, R. Wade, B. Stephens, R . Feldman, M. Ste - phens, C. Wollenhaupt . The Trojan machine, led by offensive star senior Bruce Soppe (8. 7 yards averaged per carry) amassed a total of 2 550 yards for the '72 season to its opponent's 1635 yards. Bruce who led all offense categories, provided the team with 724 yards rushing, 9 touchdowns and 60 total points. Dave Lafeber, sophomore wa s a close second on average yards per carry with an 8.1 percentage. In the defense category, seniors Harley Leaders, and Marion Audesmore led the tackles and assists column with 110 points to 100 points, respectively. As the boys and coaches prepared for t he Homecoming game with Oakland, they were in for the biggest disappointment of the season, being on the short end of a 14-12 score. But as any lunatic knows, it was clearly Mr. Hilligas' fault?

Too often in our fast paced society, we neglect to remember those people who have not been quite as fortunate in the game of life. Therefore, the annual staff would like to dedicate the following poem to all the f allen Trojans. CROSSING THE BAR Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me ! And may there be no m oaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems a sleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home . Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For though from out our bourne of Time a nd Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.

In the area of defense, Dave Barrier, led the team in tackles & assists, with 81 & 47 respectively for a total of 104.5 points. Gregor took 2nd place in the same cate&ory with 88.5 points, shading "Tiny ' by a mere .5 point. B.J. and Duke round out the top 5 in the defense arena. Lefeber led the team in interceptions with five. In the offensive area, -Sam had the longest msh with an 86 yard scamper.

Valley; scoring 92 points against Oakland (new school record); holding Carson's offense scoreless for the first 71h minutes and to a 29 point game; and bettering their record were highlights for the girls' season. But having a bad slump, doing 25 in a row, and running penalty laps for losing in a scrimmage helped them to realize it's not all fun ancf games. For some girls it was their high points in their high school and senior years. Girls' Basketball wasn't all practice and games. A Christmas party after the last game, and receiving longstemmed yellow roses from the underclasswomen basketballers rounded out the season. The locker room was the scene of many happenings. Remarks of "I was born bigger than that' filled the air. Discussions of chickens and other animals came about after practice. The boys' visiting team always dressing in the locker room made the girfs wonder whose locker room it really was. But basketball was what it is supposed to be-an interesting and enjoyable learning experience. HEADACHE NO. ''3't t Boys' Basketball '7 4-'7S WIC-Co-Champions With 10-1 Conf.

Thrashing through the North Tourney with 4-firsts and one second, the grapplers stayed in contention at Coming (4th) and our own TC Invitational (2nd), but let down at Guthrie. The second day of Districts seem to be the turning point, after missing sectionals by a 1h point. Advancing 5 to state, the opening round saw Tom Whannell & Mike Stephens fall by the wayside; Steve Pogge takes 4th & Dan Manhart 6th.

Catered by the condescending Fine Arts members, the dinner was highlighted by special awards promoted by Joyce Barrier and presented to the coaches. A special thank you to Ron Mueller from athletes and parents signaled the climax of his coaching career. K yros, although only 5'10", is proof that it doesn't take a "tree" mendous type of athlete to gain recognition. His main point centered on doing the best one can and be proud of that effort. Another highlight of the banquet was watcfiing Dan Manhart stuff 40 pounds of food in his mouth in 2 minutes. L C e t u t b e r p e r s 0 n s The Uncle Sam Chronicles American history did not begin in 1776, of course, any more than Columbus discovered the place in 1492. Civilizations flo urished on both continents of the Western Hemisphere centuries before the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Mari a sailed into the Caribbean. Leif Ericson showed up aro und 1000 and called the country Vi nland. The first baby of European parentage was born in 1007, and they called the kid Snorro.

Another famous man said that while one may not always find truth in history, at least history is truth, by definiti on.

When people did get together for a little fun , well, there were always witch trials, or killing buffalo from the observation car of a transcontinental train. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were patrons of cock fighting, and by the mid-1800's phrenology became popular. Generally, however, there just wasn't very much to do. Leisure industries didn't boom until the 40 hour work"week became widespread. Cycling was introduced in the 1860's. The first were unicycles known as Flying Yankee Wheels. They were popularized by gymnasts, but sales dropped when people began to discover that it took a gymnast to ride one. High-wheeled bicycles followed , and the taller a rider was, the bigger a front wheel he could straddle. Short men took up tricycles. By the turn of the century the bicycle's back wheel was the same size as the front and bicycling became the first true fad , followed quickly by roller skating, and then roller polo, which was a kind of ice hockey on wheels. When the Civil War ended, fighting men brought home a wide assortment of diseases, and an insatiable demand for remedies and patent medicines. Cures were invented for liver ailment, falling hair, tuberculosis, flabbiness, impotency, indigestion, cancer, polio, and warts. You could order any of them from a wholesale house in Chicago or St. Louis, for 2511: plus postage and handling. Two reasons for the popularity of these remedies were the most common ingredients: alcohol and opium. Even if people weren't actually cured, .at least they didn't care so much. Trading Cards swept the nation in the mid1880's, depicti ng baseball players, politici ans, and music hall performers. Playing cards were circulated with caricatures of political figures, and there were even trading cards that pictured patent medicines. Jazz music's journey up the Mississippi from New Orleans to Chi cago is well chronicled, but by the turn of the Twentieth Century it was another indigenous musical form, Ragtime, that was sweeping the country. Nothing remotely as popular appeared on the musical scene until Bill Haley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and their friends blew open the 1950's. June, 1888.

Hawaii is annexed. The Uncle Sam Chronicles In 1923, Joseph Babcock transliterated an ancient Chinese game and copyrighted it as Mah Jongg. Mah Jongg was a flash fad. The whole untry played it fo r several months, then the bottom dro pped out, leaving $2 million in unsalable Mah Jongg boards in the hands of retailers. The twin crazes of prohibition.and bootlegging totally dominated the 1920's, engrossing the entire population, but with the onset of the Great Depression, hyste ri cal frivolity took on unfo reseen dimensions. Flagpole sitting became a national sport, and college students took to swallowing hundreds of live goldfish at a single sitting. While never as popular, phonograph record eating provided considerable di version. Chain le tters promising huge fortunes were circulated widely during the depression, and the whole country began playing miniature golf. World War II provided a sobering influence . The population put aside the frantic pursuits of the previous two decades and began saving string and aluminum foil, and blacking out huge cities at night. By the end of the war, America was ready fo r Frank Sinatra, the biggest heartthrob since Rudolph Valentino. Frankie faded, but was soon followed by Johnny Raye, Frankie Laine, Eddie Fisher, Julius LaRosa, Pat Boone, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Robert Goulet and Alice Cooper. Fess Parke r showed up in 1955 on Walt Disney's T V program as Davy Crockett, and caused every kid in the country to go out and buy a coonskin hat. These we re worn while hula hooping, trampolining and go-karting. Comic books peaked in the 1950's, and pogo sticks, stilts, and yoyos underwent semi annual revivals. Backyard bomb shelters he ralded the 1960's. a decade of poli tical consciousness that wa captioned by pithy bumper stickers of every pe rsuasion. Frisbe s were thrown e\'erywhere, underground new papers w re publi hed, and rock mu ic became even more a part of eve r day life. T he 60's were years of unrest, assassinations, turmoil , riots and social change. They left Ame ri ca stunned , tired and ready fo r the ?O's and the decade's biggest fad: nostalgia for the remnan ts of every other decade of the century. July 3, 1898.

George Sorenson, Dennis Vogel Special Services: Pat Dalton Vocational Therapy: Larry Christianson, Pat Slater Observations Since many students believe that most TC teachers were around at the start of the Union, the annual staff asked the instructors their opinions on Bicentennialism. In addition, the faculty commented on: "Have you noticed an attitude change in students as compared to the past"; and "What do you view for the future in the area of education?" On bicentennial . . . 1. killpack- " ... This nation was founded by those who prized freedom and fought and died to win that liberty. Our forefathers recognized that the exercise of that freedom required the acceptance of responsibility. No longer could the colonists depend upon the strength, power, and integrity of the mother country. They from that day on became responsible for their actions and decision. The Bicentennial must remind us, today , that we are also responsible for our decisions and actions, no matter whether they be good or bad." t.g. white- " ... Since it only happens every 200 years, I like it. At the same time I'm glad it only happens every 200 years." h. frey-" .. . If this observance with all the reviewing of the history that made America a nation to be proud of can do anything to make the students in our schools conscious of their heritage- and their responsibility toward maintaining it- the idea of the Bicentennial is a wonderful thing." j. knudsen-" ... Getting involved in the celebration of the 200th birthday is great, but buying red, white, and blue toilet paper is a bit too commercialized for me." j . kenny- " . . . I think the bicentennial theme is great because man seems to need to celebrate his achievements. What better way for a nation to express gratitude and pride for our independence?" On attitudes . . . h. mckercher-" . . . in one thing I think attitudes have changed appreciably and that is in questioning the value of many of the , things we do in education. Properly done, this questioning of values can be good. I feel the students have a right to 'know why' . On the other hand, an educated person is one who can discipline himself and if, as many say, that students no longer have the same respect for the schools, then perhaps the problem lies with the schools for not teaching discipline." j . diggins- " ... Since 1970, when I started teaching, I feel the total of children who are physical or mental drop-outs has greatly in· creased in our high schools. 'Who needs Education' is the slogan of many.'' . n. smith- " . . . the attitudes are more open now but .the challe~ e of learning, studying and working for different goals in different areas is still there. The students are reflectmg the attitudes of society in general." v. !arson- " ... I know that without the ability to read and write and understand governmental processes we will not be able to make wise choices-resulting in the loss of our democratic country. For this reason education will continue to be. However, its effectiveness will be the determiner for the quality, output, and the length that our country will remain a democratic society." · p. c.lalton- " ... Education has a great future, but it will have to change. We neej to spend more on preparing for life and the things of everyday living." e. abariotes- " ... 1 believe that many students lose sight of what they have and perceive life as what they experience in their own small vacuum. !f students could travel to other nations and exchange places with the starving in India. the civilians caught in a crossfire in Lebanon, or try to stay alive in a ghetto in Sao Paulo (or New York, for that matter), then I believe that that same student would change their Jir~ction of accepting mediocrity and apathy towards one of realization of potential." • '76 ews Update Good Evening, we're the Seniors of '76, and you're not! Early this morning local photographer, Kieth Callaway, looked in the wrong end of his viewfinder and severely flashed himself. He was later arrested for indecent "exposure" . The Neola-Gazette yesterday reported the theft of the Neola swimming pool. Two eye witnesses and a dog reported sighting the pool e~ route towards Beebeetown. Highway patrolman Jeff Ring commented, "This should be easy . All we have to do, is follow the trail of water and we should catch the fink in a matter of days." Principal Gary Ratigan confirmed the appointment of Mark Finken as the new Farm-Market reporter on the Tri-Center intercom. Ma~k "".'ill replace B~ "Loudmouth" I wen who was last seen out standing in the field. You can hear Farm-Market news immediatel: begmmng after the pardon the interruption" announcement. Admitted in critical condition at Jennie Edmundsen hospital, was Persian Darcy Hood. M~. Hood suffered a slipped diferential afte1 he reportedly fell off a rug at a nearby water-hole. An 18-year-old Minden youth was arrested yesterday afternoon for laughing outloud in a public establishment. Tom Whannell pleaded mnocent to a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the study hall, when he chortled hysterically at his brother trying to eat 23 lunches in one 18 minute lunch period. Ironically, "Wat" made it to his next class, "Dieting for Fun and Profit", on time. Winner of a week's stay at the Honey Creek Hilton Health Spa, were Denise Lett and Judy Albertus. The unusually strange women won first prizes in the "I Have a Wierdo for a Roommate" contest. Awarding the prize will be delayed until their essays can be translated from their shorthand notes. Seen sniveling in the parking lot of El Freda's Pizza , Marilyn Schuning, from Nowhere, Iowa , explained she has an uncontrollable rge to not pay her way. El Fredo, obviously, was not amused. Fined for parking near the Tri-Center Sc ool, Jim Perrin, pleaded guilty to a charge of turning illegally into a culvert. Local pork king Roger Kriz, was installe ilSf. nig\l..t pll the Imperial Wizard of the International Swine Producers. When asked to comment on his new appointment, Mr. di. ust gninted. And that about wraps it up for this portion of the pt'ogtartt, stay µed for the continuing drama "Nancy Ryan, Nancy Ryan". In tonight's episode Nancy will be consulting PfCialist to try fo o lin an ''M" for her "at Maid" shirt. Urehiu Quiz Test your skills against the pro's.

Agriculture The Future Farmers of America program at Tri-Center is a wellrounded one. Besides studying Animal Sciences and crops & soil, they study farm carpentry, farm management, and anything concerned with farm life. Mr. Tibbles, as their sponsor, is kept very busy as he tries to make experienced farmers out of high school students. A walk out into the shop area would find Mr. Chris trying to show someone how to fix their bobe car, weld, or construct a desk or bookcase out of wood. All areas of vocational trade, even mechanical drawing and basic electricity is taught by our annual Prom sponsor. Besides all this, shop proved a good time to take a nap in your car and get your stomach stepped on, right, Brad!?! 30 Language Department State Speech Finalists Cindy Nielsen I -Poe try Lisa Jacobs I-Poetry Lona Welbourne 11- Humorous Acting Amy Moffatt II-Original Oration Mrs. Kenny, Mr. Vogel, Mr. Diggins, and Mrs. Gambs (French) instruct students on how to read, write, and speak the English and French languages. The English Department introduced a new textbook series (7th10th grade levels) that replaced the old, trite, and utterly confusing Roberts series. In her spare time, Mrs. Kenny enjoys reading, playing the piano and the arts. Mention any kind of sport and Mr. Vogel is willing to try. He enjoys water skiing, horseback riding, fishing, boating, and canoeing and any other kind of competitive sport. Mr. Diggins likes to hunt, fish, discuss politics and, as he says, "pretend to be a teacher." Jean Knudsen-Miss Knudsen has created new interest in the Art Department, this being her first year. She has given her students an introduction to a general background in art, hoping to provide a taste to stimulate interest. Miss Knudsen's outside interests are pain ting, sculpture , raising plants, music, and theatre. 32 Social Science & D•·ive••s Eel. Mr. Vogel, Mr. Sorenson, and Mr. Abariotes teach the Social Sciences. This includes American and World History, World Geography, and American Government. Sociology consisted of interesting discussions about rape, (Right, Beep!) religion, and Civil Rights. Although there were no trips taken, there were guest speakers from Neola and Omaha. Von Livingston, a mortician from Neola, explained how to conduct a complete autopsy and how to embalm a stiff (feel better, Janelle?). Dr. Don Benning, Vice-Principal of Central High School, made the students feel lucky to go to Tri-Center (huh?) when he explained the confusing desegregation plans. The class also heard speakers from Banker's Life, and Planned Parenthood. The Government classes staged a mock election for student body president and vice-president. The victors were Dave "swimming pool" Finken and Teri Mason. The government students also went and saw " All th.\! President's Men," at the Six West Theatre . In his spare time, Mr. Abariotes enjoys collecting antiques.' refini.s~ing. furniture , sniveling food , athletic partic1pahon, and putting a quart of oil in his Vega every day. Mr. Sorenson enjoys raising sheep on his farm at Persia and teaching Driver's Education. ' 34 Business Mrs. Frey teaches Typing I & II, Shorthand I & II, and Business Machines. She attempts and succeeds in helping students to learn to earn a living. In her spare time she enjoys reading and knitting. She is also trying to develop other hobbies such as gardening and sewing. She is a member of the Neola City Council and finds it very interesting. Mr. Bob Johnson teaches Business Math, Typing I, and Accounting. In his many classes he has encountered a riumber of different kinds of people. His favorite pe rson of his classes would probably be Telma. Many of the >tudents of his classes will never forget all the memorable matches between Mr. Johnson and Telma. His students will always remember the pencil shavings and waste paper can trick! Mr. Johnson enjoys all sports, especially golf. He likes bus driving to Persia and officiating all the sports around T-C. Mrs. Veva Larsen's Home Economics program was highlighted by the Style Show, Wool Contest, and the T-C Nursery School. The school couldn't quite get used to having goats, pink rabbits and puppies around . Mrs. Larsen has also been busy this year teaching Food Prep, Child Development, Advanced Clothing, and Family Relations. Besides enjoying teaching, ~rs. . Larsen gardens, swuns, pamts, draws, and likes to interior decorate. Physieal S Mr. Harold McKercher teac Trigonometry, Math Analysis, A1 he teaches how to win at Tic-tac-t jokes, and how to conserve energy wife's dryer before the cycle is throu . He so 1 es reading, athletics, gardening, fishing, and hunting the wily · pheasant. He likes to think he helps prepare students for their future careers. Mr. McKercher is considered a real asset to the school and only wishes he had more students in his "not as hard as you think" classes. "Did you hear about the ... "would warn everyone that Mr. White is near. The students in hi gebra I & Geometry classes have gotten quite used t · uninterrupted lessons and his jokes. Mr. Nile Smith teaches not only at r. teaches General Mat to the freshmen. r. Smith also coaches & comments on Girl's Fall & Summer Softball. Both Mr. White and Mr. Smith have similar hobbies.

Kenney. as he owns of the mo t imp ive records at Tri-Center. His career High School total i 94-14. Dave was a Sta te Champion as a sophomore at 105#. As a junior, he lost :i 1-0 fi nals match and had to settle for Runner-up honor . And as a senior he placed 3rd at 126# in the Class AA Divi ion . He is the only wrestler from Tri- enter to place in 3 successive State tournaments. Dave like all the other top wrestling names at this school (Bothwell, Koenig, Rcdinbaugh, Tripp, Heim Haff Brown Stamp Manbart, to name just a few) is a te timony that hafdwork a lot of sweat and the old cerebellum is the ON~Y way to State!! Mr. A wishes to thank the two best student managers the team has ever had, Melanie Felton and Janet Pogge. Great work! 60 ''M'' atJUaids We got to "hand" it to yo•• 61 Cheerleaders Mrs. Larson, Sponsor, comments: The 1975-76 Cheerleaders consisted of Cindy Nielsen, head cheerleader, Bev Graves, Karen Mauer, Lisa Jacobs, Lisa Schley, Karen Heim, Karen Finerty, and Leslie Busch. After attending summer camp in June, these girls held practices all summer and once or twice a week all fall to perfect their cheers. Practices were also a time for planning pep rallys for sports events, for making posters to create spirit, and for discussing how they could become better at their job. They had a few disasters-sure-and problems always arise, but their resilience to bounce back after having a skit put down by the student body, and their ability to work out differences seemed much better than average. There were times of real concern for the group-when Cindy had to have her knee operated on an he est had to go on without her leadership, and when coming home from a Wrestling Tournament the roads were slick and slushy from a snowstorm. These girls worked very hard and spent many hours supporting our athletic programs at Tri-Center. All the hile they kept up their grades-taking flashlights along so they could study for tests on the way home from games. Although every girl didn't cheer at every game because they arranged their schedule so they could be home once in a while the total number of activities they supported is impressive. All eight girls participated in nine football games. Setting up their schedule so that at least four girls cheered and sometimes six or all eight. They participated in approximately sixteen boys basketball games, seventeen girls basketball games, nine wrestling'meets, and eighteen nights and days of wrestling and basketball tournament play. Anyone who wishes to criticize these cheerleaders should look first at the cooperation they had between each other, their sponsor, and Mr. Ratigan. They should look at the number of evenings they spent away lrom home following not one sport, but four. They should look at the determination they had to be the best they could.despite o_perations and other limitations. They should look at the financial cost these girls endured. Then what can we say but, "Thanks, for a job well done!" Pres.: Jell!\ette Rodenberg Sec.: Joni Christiansen Treas.: Eileen Witt (i1 64 Spring Intro Seniors are almost home.

Gary White Boys- Maynard Schack.leford Pro1tt '75 Softball "Best ever," commented Coach Nile Trojan Sluggers to State: After two Western Iowa Conference Championships, 1974-1975, the baseball season began on April 15', 1976 with 24 boys reporting to practice. The '76 season was to be a rebuilding year for Coach Jim Wright after graduating six starters. Beginning at the Woodbine Tourney, the Trojans capture first place, beating Logan 10-0; Mo Valley 9-2; and West Monona in the finals 9-1. Kurt Stamp picked up two wins and Jim Fischer, one. The Trojans began conference games winning seven in a row until dropping a 5-2 contest to Elk Horn. TC completed their regular season with a 14-2 reocrd. Elk Horn was the spoiler in the conference tournament, as they defeated the Trojans once again 2-1. In the Sectional tournament TC blanked its first two opponents, Treynor and Underwood , 12-0 and 10-0, respectively. In the next game against St. Alberts, the Trojans came from behind in the 6th inning to sneak out with a 5-4 win. In the sectional finals against Elk Horn, the third time proved to be the charm, as they stopped the Danes 3-0 for the title. At the District tou111ey, TC squ ed Stuart-Menlo 23-0; and, in the finals beat Essex 9-1. This marked th st time in TC history that a Tri-Center baseball team had gone to State. fortunately , in the first game against Rock Valley TC came o_ut on short end of a 6-2 score, as the Trojan bats went cold and they left l5 runners on the bases. Kurt ended the season with a 15-4 record ; Ji 'th an 8-0 record. The 23-4 season seemed a good place to hang up the for Coach Wright, as this marked his last season at the helm. Memb the 1976 squad include; Dan Cook; Mike Larson; Roger Kriz; Mark Mark Elias; Duane Barrier; Kurt Stamp; Jim Fischer; Dave Finken; Crosse ; and Rick Stone.

We, the 197 -77 yearbook staff, feel that Julie Ann Katzer represented individualism. She tried to become a part of a new kind of life that had just begun for her. The problems she had to overcome and the experiences she went through in trying to adjust at Tri-Center were great. In expressing her courage and will to succeed, she made the students feel closer to her; thus, expressing a part of their own individuality. For this, she was admired and is deeply thanked. cdc PROFESSIONALS . 7 :J Board of Education BOARD MEMBERS pictured here are: from the left, Howard Darrington, Mari lyn Ryan, Gladys Bardsley.

It started with the excitement of tryouts the year before . Everyone held their breath as they announced the winners. Then came the summer with three day camp and practice every week. Football season came and went quickly. Then basketball and wrestling, and we were always on the go. We loved every minute of it. Sure, there were some downfalls, but looking back, we remember the fun times and forget the bad times.

Heraclitus ~ 0 co Ct') ~ C\J 0 0 0 co LO C\J C\J Ct') This quotation speaks truth . Change is a continu ing process . In fact, its unceasing pattern grows and weaves our own live s. We have been altering and transfo r ming since t he moment we took our fi rst breath . Obviously, we have changed throughout our school days. We have changed in appearances, in attitudes, and in character. In t his yearbook, we try to capture the moments of change : t he beginn ing of a new educational fac ility , the appearance of unfamiliar faces, the collaboratl on of superior rating , the laughs, the frowns, the tears, and the smiles that have occurred during the short fragment of our lives known as high school. Our years at " T- C Tech " have proven to be a collage of changes . We 've joked a little, cried a little , grown a little, and learned a little . We the class of '78, have changed significantly, but we have held together. High school days must end , but change doe s not . Each of us will go his own way in life, expe ri encing unknown changes and challenges every step of the way. The outside world offers strangers and newn ess, but we will realize that change Is an ongoing process.

We are groups and bodies of people th at grow through associations with others. During high school, these groups have changed and molded our characters. Through both the good and not-so-good times, the assemb lages have provided us with a laugh , a cry, and a cause. 4 �5 �Chang es. The y oc cur in all places, at all times. All thin gs must begi n, grow, live, and end . The Tri-Ce nter School District is curren t ly chan gin g, and we wish to elaborate on t hese al te r ations in our community, for they involve our parents, us, and future generations. On October 12, 1976, our school district passed a $1,490,000 bond issue for a new elementary school buil ding . Th e completed structure will be located near t he hig h school. The building will provide for grades Kindergarten through Sixth and will contain th e following : Two kindergarten areas Eighteen academic classrooms for grades 1 through 6 Library and media center Multi-purpose room for activities, lunch, etc. Music room , convertible to stage use with the multi-purpose room. This bond issue also includes funds for a wrestling room and for the replacement of the "leaky" high school roof. These two projects have been completed, while work on the elementary building progresses rapidly . The daily t rips of workers to the pop machine and the ir pounding noises on th e roof have become familiar to us. On these pages we try to mention t he change s happening in ou r school commun ity. Not only do we attempt t o explain the details of the NEW school building , but we wish to honor the OLD schoo ls also. They con tai n man y fond memorie s withi n th eir walls ... moments that we shall never forget. They have been th e cornerst ones of our fo rm al educations. In t hose institutions of learn in g, we have participated in many f un times: noon rec ess es, school t rips, musi c programs, and, of course, NAP TIME S! We have shared many pre cious moments with friends inside of those wall s: he lping th e cooks serve 6 �lunch, playing a game of freeze-tag or bombardo, spending a night with a friend , and having our share of bad fights, " make-up" notes, and then , forgiving . The elementary school buildings are each near 60 years old and have served their purposes well. They've provided us, our parents, and even some of our grandparents with many memories. But progress results in change . All old things must bow and make way for the new. As ou r new school emerges, we should pause to reflect upon the many growing moments that these former structures provided us with . We are saddened by the loss of these institutions, yet thrilled by the sight of a new educational facility . We must remember that the schools will NEVER really be gone; the moments they have instilled in our memories will always be cherished . We are thankful for these memories . Hopefully, the new school will give many more children the same ·treasurable memories. TRI CENTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ;: -? f- = .}- 7 <~ :~ �8 �We have been granted a unique learning experience at Tri-Center. This special education has not taken place in classrooms or with textbooks; we have acquired it through that small number who dare to be individuals. They have provided us with the true meanings of courage, initiative, and responsibility. By "doing their own things," they change our own individualities. We must admire and thank them for the contributions they've made to our high school education .

In December the National Honor Society learned of the Peace Corps Partnership Program, in which concerned people of the U.S. help sponsor a project of another needy country, such as a school . The Peace Corps Partnership Project became a total student body adventure. A pledge of $600 was made to the community of San Fernando, Equador. The money will be used to help build a 4-room school building for the children of that community. Many money-raising activities were started. They included: ba ke sa les, a class competitio n consisting of clinking coins into the " Peace Corps" jars, basketbal I between t he wrest lers and the girls' basketba l I team, and another between the boys' team, and the faculty. The biggest financial contributor to the Peace Corps cause was the TC PCM D ! (Jn othe r wo rds, the Tr i-Center Peace Corps Marathon Dance.) Boog ie-Fever infested itself into the weirdo disc-jockey (a li as John " Trovolta" Thomas) and the student body for twelve hours, on March 3 1-April 1. As a result of these projects, the goal of $600 was not only made, but it was surpassed by hun- dreds of do ll ars. �51 �STUDENT COUNCIL The Tri-Center Student Counc il, under the direction of faculty spon sor Ernie Abariote s and president Beth Handbury, became an active so cial organization during 1977-78 .

Nature changes our surroundings and time changes our possessions. Even the faces of those we come in contact with daily, change. It seems th_at change can 't be stopped. Tri- Center is undergoing another change. Mr. Robert Hilligas, the band director at Tri-Center for the past 11 yea rs, has chosen to leave the teaching profession and his position at TC . Even though he has been honored many times before, we wish to pay tribute to our Band Man in the pages of the 1978 Trojan. Mr. Hilligas was the man who started us on our musical careers by teaching us "Tonette Fundamentals." He brought us up through junior high and into high school, where we took part in his magnificent pop concerts and Golden Girls. Mr. Hilligas taught us notes and scales; the 1977-78 Trojan Marching Band ' s season was climaxed with three I ratings ! Not only was Mr. Hilligas a music man, but he was a good friend. He always cared and would listen to a problem, gripe, or joke with anyone. His stupendous productions were always for the communities' enjoyment. At Tri - Center, Mr. Hilligas will be deeply missed; through both his productions and his happy, cheerful personality. As we grow older, we shall realize that change continues throughout life. As Mr. Hilligas leaves Tri-Center, he wi ll be missed; but the memories he leaves with us shall be treasured forever . In conclu si on , we thank our great Band Man for his time, talents and efforts, as we will always remember "Th e Way We Were." Being your "kids" we wish you much love, luck and happiness in your future endeavors. jle 69 �GOLDEN GIRLS are: (from the left> Row 1: Gail Suntken, Mona Stamp , Peg W ellm an, Tamm y M auer, M arsha Nih se n, Paulette Dol len, Renee Wachner and Leslie Bu sch .

For the students this type of production added a new way to produce a play, and it provided a change from using the conventional stage . 74 �STUDENTS ATTENDING STATE SPEECH CONTEST were : (from the left) Jennifer Wat son , Gayla Wilson , Tamra Kasch , M ars ha Shreeves, M artha Smith , Peg Wel lman , Deb Ring , Jan Elias, Sue Barrier, Caro l Ryan , Beth Handbu ry , Janelle Masker, Gene Perr in , Lon a Welbourn , Julie Elliott, James Kenealy, Karen Mauer, Tom M ahoney, Dan Langin , and not pictured, Mrs. Judi Kenny, speec h in structor. 75 �•I' ,• .. 1 •• 76 .. .-· ~·~ ··~ !-~' �on, of the NY Yankees, s rttJM•tc:f'. uring the 1977 World Ser 77 �GIRLS' SOFTBALL· 78 �COACH NILE K SMITH 79 �FOOTBALL SQUAD: (left to right) Row 1: Keith Gravert, Ken Kline, Tim Koch, Brad Knott, J eff Shreeves, Scott Suntken , Duane Barrier, Brad Soppe, Rob Gilbraith and Dave Osbahr, student managers; Row 2: Coach Johnson , Mike Larsen, Willy Corrin, Butch Fey, Jeff Graves, Ken Hester, Jim Kenealy, Dave Wellman, Joe Masker, and Coach Carver; Ro w 3: Coach Shackl eford , Henry Ring, Mike Cooney, Doug Olsen , Todd Brockman, Tom Mahoney, Jay Mason , Todd Justice, Jeff Casson, and Coach Cochran; Row 4: Greg Barrier, Les Clark, Randy Orme, Terry Erwin, Fred Hadfield , Dan McDonald , Dave Wellman and Jim Masker; Row 5: Marty Rogers, Clark Price, Scott Rogers , Kriss Soppe, Randy Wachner, Steve Stone, Dan Langin, Todd Schroeder; Row 6: Jeff Slobodnik, Bruce Archer, Nick Justice, Scott Darrah, Scott Gardner, Phil Ni elsen , Scott Dollen and Brian Floerchinger. f 80 The Tri-Cente r Varsity Football team compiled an overall season record of 6-3. The season started slow, but gained momentum winning the last six games of the season. The Trojans finished the season in a tie for third place in the conference. Duane Barrier, Ken Kline and Brad Knott were named to the all conference team, while Brad Soppe,· Tim Koch and Jeff Shreeves were named to honorable mention. The iJ.977 season was like two different seasons. The first three games were lost and then the season as turned around and the last six games were won. Th is was a great effort. The team had to overcome losses to t hree top rated teams and the ineligibility of six pJayers. The team could have easily given up, but didn't. This is a tribute to the caliber of players at Tri-Center. Coach Johnson ��Gridiron Action 1 82 �GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM : Front row : (left to right> Peggy Gilbraith, Lori Siebels, Patti Bintz, Jan EfuB , Pegg y Hall , Geri Pogge, Danette Dollen , and Coach Gary White. Back row : Cindi Felton, Mary Jensen, Caroline Nelson, Janelle Masker, Jennifer Ring , Jane Alfers, Susie Kenealy, Julie Elliott, Paulette Dollen, and Coach Pat Dalton. When I asked this year's team to continue the winning tradition started by last year's team, I didn't realize how exact the girls would be. Last year the team won 17 games and again this year the girls won 17 games. Last year T-C finished 2nd in the conference -tournament and this year we finished 3rd. Last year T-C was sth in regular season conference standings and this year we were 2nd. Both year's T-C teams advanced into district play in the tournarnen s. t-ast year we were 3rd in the sectionals and this year we were 2nd . Three school records fell in 1977-78. Camline Nelson had 17 interceptions in one game and had a record 256 interceptions in a season. The guard court had an excellent 42 point defensive average for the season which bettered the old average of 43 points set in 1971-72. The overall season was fun. We will be graduating seven good senior and will be rep lacing them, for the most part, from a J.V. squad that was 16-1 for the year. We will miss these senior girls, but will do our b~ 1' to continue a winning tradition at T-C. 83 ��Student Managers All Conference Jane Alfers Patti Sidebottom Cindi Felton Caroline Nelson GIR LS JUNIOR VARSITY AND FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM : (left to right) Peggy Gilbraith , Lori Siebels , Den ise Royer, Laurie Hadfi eld, Kris Brow n, Andy Gilbraith and Nancy Kriz .

Their tournament season was equally rewarding as they won the Exira and Tri-Center tournies and brought home the runner-up trophies in the conference tournament and the Guthrie Center Invitational. Seniors Dan Pogge, Calvin Manhart, Scott Suntken, and Ken Kline closed out a brilliant season.Dan and Ken as we ll as Bill Clevenger and Dave Nelson advanced to the district wrestling tournament where Bill and Dan captured third place honors.

Runner-up in conference were Ken Kline, Calvin Manhart, and Dan Pogge. Doug Olsen was fourth in the conference and Kevin Corrin and Jeff Pape fifth .

It is th e truth that time is but lent to us which makes us, at our best, look upon our years as a trust handed into our temporary keeping. - Jo shua Loth Liebman - 2 �FOREWORD Through our school years together we have learned the true mean ing of friendship . By ch eer ing together at games, studying frantically for government, striving to do our best in that all important game, and even experiencing the loss of a close classmate, we have drawn together seve r al meaningful relationships . What a friend we have in time Gives us children, makes us wine Tel) .:; us what to take or leave behind . Friends, I will remember you, Think of you , pray for you And when another day is through I'll still be friends with you. Babies days ar e never long, Mothers' laugh is babys ' song Gives us all the hope to carry on. Friends, I will remember you , Think of your, pray for you And when another day is th r ough I' ll still be friends with you . - John DenverNow we must go our separate ways , start a new life , an d mak e new friends; but our school year friendships shall al ways be che ri she d.

This thought holds a very true and significant message. The memories that we have retained throughout high school are r::-ot memories of entire days, but rather, special fragments that, in their entirety, make our high school years complete. We have all stored memories of some sort, whether it be academic, extra-curricular, or social. In this yearbook, we hope to bring about an evolution of events. Endearing moments shall be displayed by the projection of images and words. We, the class of 1980, have accumulated a multitude of fragile memories. These memories shall be forever engraved in our minds. 0,..... ,..... Ct) -qC\J 0 0 0 co The counsel of our years must now be taken into heart, gracefully surrendering the things of our youth.

The senior boys certainly had their charm as "The Dating Game" proved . Eating apples was never this much fun before as four couples from each class showed us how. The freshmen came out on top of the basketball contest, and the cheerleaders led us through the week in perfect style and form. 10 �f The hilarious endings of two Colossus skits proved to be too much. The teachers received their just desserts, and Jeff Pape got his prize for winning "The Dating Game." Our faithful emcee Dan Langis led us through the whole ordeal. 11 �.. 12 �13 �Okay, band, let's start over and do it right! I wanna be a globetrotter! Ayatollah who? Wanna make something of it?

Student Council is "of, by, and for" the student body. However, it seems as if the intended goals do not always succeed. The Council member's objectives fall short of expectations many times. On a scale of one to ten (ten being the Bo Derek of school embodiment), where does the TriCenter's students' involvement, spirit, and accomplishment fall? Where is the perfect "TEN"? Certainly not School Spirit! That, often enough, is only a "five". Even student apathy is not a perfect "ten" (thank heaven for small favors) - Apathy "five"! At least when we get to school dances we start to pick up the tempo, so to speak - Dances - "seven." So where is the elusive "TEN"! It is right where it has always been, with the Council members and the die-hards in other organizations that "keep on trying" to make Tri-Center a great school.

This enthusiasm is evident by the large numbers of students who sign up to participate in the various school activities and events. As the year progresses it becomes more and more difficult to maintain that enthusiasm, and the numbers of people in the various activities and organizations dwindle. Those who remain deserve the credit for the accomplishments that the school and student body can look back on with pride in the years to come. It is those people who the yearbook staff would like to thank. The following deserve a special thanks: Annette Stephens, Diane Mahoney, Maxine Cook, Jill Elias, and Roger Larsen.

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

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

"A fine team," said Coach Nile K. Smith, "A pleasure to work with." Tri-Center fall softball was a building and tryout season with many girls seeing opportunities at varsity positions. "Fall is our fun season," stated the coach. �IASEIAll 97 �"' ··~ • .• -·. . • •• . -··· v •• .........-..,,~:~-:.,..,;..,_ "f.~(" I ... o I .. ~ ,,..<"""' \ :,t''l,,·~.. -~.... ,,..J..i' - - ��This is the spot in the yearbook where I get t o thank t he staff for t heir dedication and hard work, and I must admit it is a pleasant task . · While we were late getting t he yearbook our (as usual), we d id get it out (which is a minor miracle in itself worthy of canonization).

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

" Nine seniors who all played graduat ed last year with a 4-12 record , leaving us with no experienced upper classmen . Al l of our numbers lay in the freshman and sophomore class . We ended up playing two sophomores and a freshman . We actually won one-sixth of our matches ( 10 of 60) , wh ich is not reflected in our overall record (1 -16-1).

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

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

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

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

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

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

Throughout this year the French club has faced seve ral . new experiences. Jn Septem ber, 5 french st udents accompani ed by Madame Gambs went to the Auberge de Juenesse at Ackley, Iowa . Here they spoke onl y French all weekend , used French currency to buy things at the Boutique, and ate a ut hentic French food. Othe r activ ities included singing, cooki ng, fenci ng, play ing boules, a nd participation in skits a nd the carniva l. From March 4-10, the French club celebrated foreig n la ngu age week. During thi s week, the students made crepes and french posters, wore french sweatshirts a nd t-shirts a nd buttons, a nd sold imported candy. Through these experiences the french classes have grown better acqua in ted with the french culture. Jn the summer of 1983 , S hei la Doyle, through the North Atla nti c Cul tura l Excha nge League program, spent a month in France. She stayed with a fam il y in Orl ea n, abou t 20 mil es from Pa ri s.

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

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

He helps the seniors get ready for the hard work and challenges handed to them from professors. COMPUTERS The "Introduction to Computers" cla ss taught by Mr. McKercher can introdu ce peopl e to gold en opportunities. Since computers are becomi ng a thing of today, many kids who take his class may decide to include computer educati on in their futu re. Although Mr. McKercher teaches just the "B.A.S.I.C. " 's, students lea rn how to deal with the dreaded little mac hine (espec ially when it beeps . They learn the B.A. .J.C. langu ge and how to write programs for others to use .

INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial Ans, which is instructed by Bill Larsen, shows its students how co build projects. This could be valuable in the future when our Industrial workers go out on their own and need co repair a car or co do those odd jobs, which their wife has yelled at them about for the last six months. Accomplishments of the Industrial Arts class this year include making three cement pads for the shotput and discus, and ma king a new concession stand for the sophomores.

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

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

They lost their first game to Des Moine Lincoln 2-0; the second to Boone 3-2, in extra innings; the third to St. Mary's (Remsen) 5-0; and the last to Hubbard 2-1. The Trojanettes finished the season at 30-11 . However, the remarkable thing to remember, is that the girls qualified for State in 3 major and one minor team sports. Congratulations Coaches!!! �B oy's STATE Class 2A Bunner-Up Steven Divin; Steve Krumwiede; Kevin lVhite make All-Tournement Team Down 8-4 in the opening game at State against North Tama, Krumwiede hit a 370foot home run to ignite a 3run rally in the 6th. After adding 3 more runs in the top of the 7th, Witt relieved Krum and with bases loaded and one run in, got a strikeout and fl ball to end the game at 10-9. T-C was in the finals!! Giving up 16 walks (8 scored) proved costly as the Trojans dropped a 16-4 contest to Kee (Lansing). Although trailing only 5-4 in the 5th , a seven run inning clinched the victory for Kee.

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

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

After the team won their first eight starts, however, the doubters began to take notice. The team really "started improving after their loss to Treynor," remembered Coach White. "In nine of our last ten games we were a very good team. Early in the season it was six individuals playing, but at the end of the season, it was a team effort.

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

Our high school years are full of learning both in and out of school. In school, the teachers guide our learning. It is up to the student to pick the right path and to use what he has learned. Wherever we go, memories from high school will be there - and maybe somewhere between the hours spent on homework and the · three minutes spent changing classes, we will give a little thought to our teachers.

This year 91 students passed this barrier and took French. One of the French activities this year included a trip to the French Cafe. French 2,3 and 4 students were given the opportunity to put their skills to work at Iowa Western when they attended the Foreign Language Festival this spring. During Foreign Language Week the classes wore French clothing, made crepes, played French games, and made'posters to promote their new language. W ith so many barriers keeping our world apart, distance, cus toms, language and politics, it's comforting to know that in our corner of the world, a step has been taken towards better understanding.

It takes brain power and logic, thinking skills that high school students get tired of using. Even though many people say they hate math, the math classrooms are never empty. It is as if some invisible force draws them into the class. Some are there for the challenge, others to fulfill the requirements for graduation or college.

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

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

So next time you see a VW bug, "Slug Bug!" You've had a rough day; you're upset and fed up with the whole world. What do you do? Reach for an ice cold soda! What's the most common pop drunk at T-C? Thirty percent of the students here chose Mountain Dew. Why? "Because it tastes great!" Ray Wellman, a sophomore, said. Pepsi was a distant second with 19% followed by Classic Coke at 15%, with many others straying behind. You've gone to the city to "cruise ." Yo u and your friends decide to stop for a bite to eat. Where do most T-C students stop? Sixty -two percent chose Burger King, with Taco Bell coming in second and McDonald's t hird . "I like the Whopper!" says senior Ronda Elias.

Twenty-two percent of the students at T-C picked R.G. as their favorite store. "They have good variety and quality - a lot to look at," said junior John Ferris.

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

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

It's Not Easy to Please 200 Choosy Eaters Most people at our school don't even give a second thought to the hot lunch program . Gary Ratigan, principal, tells us on the first day of school how we should appreciate our lunch program. This always brings a g ood laugh but Deanna Leinen found out that our lunch is like French cuisine compared to the lunches she had at another school. The lunches we are served are prepared by ten women . Joan Justice and Joann Knott are the first to arrive at 6:00 a.m. Then the rest come at various times before first lunch. All of the meals are planned by Herma Wilson. "I love my work and I wouldn't like to work anywhere else. I love kids and have been working here for 22 years," says Herma . She feels like some of the kids are her grandchildren because she has served their parents, too. The favorite foods of the kids are the ones that the cooks most enjoy making. Herma said it is very hard trying to please 200 different students, but she feels she does a good job of mixing foods for variety . Herma said that she usually serves certain combinations of foods more often because they are well liked. Sometimes certain meals have to be cut down because of prices or government supply. Right now the salads are being filled with less lettuce because of the outrageous price, she said . The beef is provided by the government, so meals with beef have to be regulated . Herma says the most popular meals are pizza, chicken nuggets, and the famous chili. She was gracious enough to let "The Trojan" have the sec ret recipe to her highly acclaimed chili. So to all you chili-lovers: Bon Appetit! School Chili 1 lb. ground beef 1 Tbsp. chopped onions 1 10 oz. can tomato soup 1/2 c . tomato sauce 1 c . catsup 1 lb. can each chili beans and red beans chili powder, salt, pepper to taste Brown beef; drain.

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

You close your book and talk to the person next to you . During t his time you convince yourself you will do the work in study hall . Study hall has come and gone and your assignment still lies unfinished. What to do? Take it home, you say? Great idea if you plan to do it, but w e all know better.

You worried yourself for nothing! Next time you'll know better. Or will you? Features ·--~=« 11 �How Sweet It Is! When a person becomes sixteen, their life seems to change suddenly in many ways. They are no longer a measly fifteen year old, but now they have grown into a responsible sixteen year old . Most associate this big event with getting a driver's license. This is probably the best part, considering they will no longer have to ride with parents or beg rides off friends . Going to get the license can be a matter of life and death. Many are usually at the Department of Transportation as soon as it opens on their birthday . If for some reason they were unable to go at that time, they may decide to miss out on a little school. Dan Pieper, a junior, still remembers how he skipped out eighth hour to get his " survival kit." But he was just an anxious sixteen year old, so all is forgiven. "Our parents seem to have changed too," remarked April Martin. "They have become more trusting, not only with driving, but also by allowing us to go out more with friends and out on dates," she said. Sometimes this can be somewhat of a deception, because friends also recognize your new found freedom and may take advantage of it. Turning sixteen probably isn't as major as graduating, but it is a big step in a person's life . Upperclassmen will tell you, "Enjoy the rewards of this achievement, because you survived all those years as being dependent on others . Now grab hold of this small amount of independence and run with it .'' " Look what I gotl" Becky Graham, a sophmore. seems to say as she holds her prize possession. car keys . �They Have A Mind of Their Own Having a twin is not as much fun as many people think, agreed T-C's three sets of twins: sophomores Jay Dollen and Jon Dollen; Lynette Thomas and Janette Thomas; and freshmen Terri Schuett and Sherri Schuett. Their biggest complaint is people who mix up their names. Although Sherri and Terri are fraternal twins, "Most people have to really know us to keep us apart," said Sherri. Terri · remarked, "We don't even dress the same, but it still doesn't help." Jay, the identical twin to Jon, said that it is hard to have a true identity for themselves . The good thing is that "You have someone to talk to all the Jon and Jay Dollen stop at t heir lockers on their way t o catch the bus. time," declared Lynette, identical twin to Janette . While Terri Schuett noted it is nice to be able to share your clothes. Jay said in second grade he and Jon switched shirts in the bathroom to fool the teacher. "She was fooled too, for a while. But she figured it out by afternoon!" Even though they suffer an identity crisis, Terri confessed that after all, " It is fun to fool people sometimes, which is one of the fun things about being a twin ." These twins have found out through experience that having a double is not always bad. In fact most agree that they are luckier than others, because they have a permanent friend.

Features 13 �Going to School and Holding Down a Job: We Work Hard for the Money A growing number of students are working at after school jobs to earn extra money. While most find that money is plentiful, time to do homework, to sleep, or time to just plain relax is in short supply. They work in local businesses such as Dan's Delight in Neola, the Minden Meat Market, and Elias' Grocery in Persia. Or some drive to Council Bluffs to work in large stores such as K-Mart or HyVee. By working several hours after school and weekends, some work as much as 40 hours a week, according to senior Brad Wilson who works at Bilcon, Inc. in Neola. Brad hopes to increase his 20 hours to 35 or 40 by working weekends . Although working often forces students to sacrifice participation in extra-curricular activities, during the wrestling season senior Kirby Pauley manages to work long hours on the weekend at Sutherland's in Council Bluffs. "When I'm working, it's not easy to keep up on both homework and sleep," said Kirby. Not all students have the same reason. for liking their work. Junior Travis Justice enjoys working at the Kopper Kettle because the people are great to work for. While junior Brian Schuett, who works at the Meat Market, and sophomore Dawnette Meyer, who works at ABOVE: Sophomore Karen Brich makes and serves gallons of ice cream at Dan's Delight. RIGHT : Senior Chris Larson, on released time. will use his meat cutting skills learned at the Minden Meat Market to work his way through college . the Kettle, both agree that getting a paycheck is the best part of the job! Sophomore Keith Wilson picks up extra money by playing guitar and singing in the " Wilson Wranglers," a country-western band which his father Lavern Wilson has organized. "We play gigs whenever we can," said Keith. " Lots of times we work benefits to get the exposure." Getting a job is simply a matter of being alert and talking to friends who may know which businesses are hiring. Travis's advice is to " be honest on your application blank and follow up on it afterwards!" �~ ,, ' ' ' JI • ,\ • ' • . . ,,':.. .

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

This year Trojan football was like no ot her. Due to graduation, we lost players in hard-toreplace skill positions. Injuries to key players held the season to a respectable 6-3 record, but not one the team is used to. Highlight of the season was the Griswold win in which we held them four times in the fourth quarter inside the 20 yard line and prevented their scoring, Coach Schelling reflected at the end of the 1987 season . "This came after we had suffered a loss to A voHa the w eek before," he said . Brad Wilson had been out of the A voHa game with an injured ankle. " This caused us more of a mental problem than a p hysical one," said junior Jerry Green . disappointing loss was to Logan; we should have won that one ." This season was the worst one for injuries - ankles, shoulders, knees--" We've never had so many before," said Coach Schelling. Brad Wilson was hurt the entire season, which affected his running, he said . Our most outstanding player was Tom Nelson who was named second team All-State linebacker by the Des Moines Register. Tom was also named second team All-Southwest Iowa, and first team all Western Iowa Conference. Other honors went to Brad Wilson who was named first team All-Conference linebacker, and Alan Wellman, named first team AllConference tight end . The leadership of the three senior co-captains Tim O 'Neill, Brad Wilson, and Tom Nelson kept the team together, said the coach . Coach Schelling is looking for another winning season in the fall of '88 in which he will see the return of eighteen starters.

Robby Larsen ran the 3200 meter run in a time of 10:43 :00, breaking the school record of 10:54:00 which was held by Rodney Meinke. Joe Vetro was also strong in the 200 meter run.

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

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

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

Continental Cruisin' From alligators, koala bears and kangaroos to Chinese, Egyptians and even Cleopatra herself, the 1988 Golden Girls show, "Continental Cruisin' " , was nothing short of sensational. Broadcast March 12 on the Iowa Sports Television Network during the Iowa Girls' State Basketball Tournament, the show was the featured attraction of the evening, the result of hard work and a dream come true for director Bob Hilligas. They earned the top spot in the show, after the Parade of Champions and between games, which added a lot more excitement for everyone involved. Producing "Continental Cruisin' " took many hours of hard work from all twenty-six Golden Girls plus many others, including all third grade classes and some fifth graders who helped with managing props . Third graders dressed as alligators, kangaroos and other "wildlife" as background for the dances. Early morning practices for the Golden Girls required hard work and lots of patience . "But it was a lot of fun , tool " noted Lisa Bandow, a junior. The fabulous show also got a great review in the Des Moines Register from columnist Chuck Offenburger who said " the Golden Girls crew did a 'knock 'em dead' floor show of music, dance and costuming .'

Another part of the class is learning general mechanics. The students provide their own kind of small engine and are requir~d to tear it apart and then put it back together so it runs. They also do work on automobile engines. If all of this sounds like fun to you. take up Industrial Arts. You will be enjoying yourself and possibly heading into a career that you'll love.

It all began with a " 1" ratin.g in State Field Marching Contest in October; Phoenix, the jazz band, followed with a superior rating at State Jazz Band Competition in March; the concert band ended the season with a superior rating in State Large Group Contest in May. Success was what has come from hard work, determination, and long hours of practicing. Other successes this year were a second place trophy at Western Iowa Conference Jazz Contest; second place at Northwest Missouri State University Jazz Festival, and second place at Midland College Jazz Festival in Fremont , Nebraska. It seems that band has meant a lot to many of the members according to Shelli Jensen, senior, who said, " Throughout my years of high school, band has been fun , but with that fun comes a lot of hard work . I will miss jazz band the most, and the experience it gave me." The Tri-Center band has always been a hard working group, trying to get to the top at contest s, and even giving great performances at pep rallies, baske tball, and football games.

" Art is a time and place where you can express yourself during the school day." The class breaths a sigh of relief after Karen's brief but well- put answer. This is a vivid image of what a typical day in art class is like, but it isn't all quizzes and questions. Senior Glenn Koenig agrees, " Art's pretty cool. I enjoy doing clay pots and painting , and other things. It makes me feel good when I use my talents !" "I can't stress enough to b e creative and do your o w n work ," states instructor Rand y Wiese . " Our art department is full of talent ."

But taking speech helps build a person's confidence, and also improves social skills . Several of our speech students received a division 1 rating and advanced to state. These students were Teresa Olofson and Jackie Hayden. Johnsen, Terry Wellman, David Lett, Cecilia Leaders, Susan Scoles, Caryn Sparr, Jackie Hayden, and Teresa Olofson . Speech adviser Mary Conway feels speech is an activity often "crowded out" by the extensive participation our school has in winter extracurricular activities . "Students have only so much time, yet what is more important than being able to speak effectively and intelligently?'' Contest Speech is open to high school students in all grades. Categories include: original oratory, humorous acting, dramatic acting, book review, after- dinner speech, poetry interpretation, literary program, extemporaneous speaking, improvisational acting, radio news broadcasting, storytelling, and e xpository address . Principal Gary Ratigan commented, " I think speech contest is a tremendous · opportunity for students to gain experience in public speaking . When students are forced t o speak under pressure, personal growth results!"

Peer: A Place To Grow Peer is a place where you can go to express your feelings freely, without having to worry about someone laughing at your opinions or ideas. Peer class coordinator Susan Johnson describes peer as "a safe place to talk about things teenagers need to talk about." Peer is basically centered on communicating . It also helps teens get to know themselves better, and gives them a better self -concept . You are only credited for taking one semester of peer, but many students find it beneficial enough to take it again. "I took peer over because I think it is fun . I really enjoy the c lass!

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

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

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

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