KIERNAN 4 I, Fr. Kiernan accepts pastorship in Des Moines Father James Kiernan, former principal of St Albert, will be long remembered as a part of our school. He came to us in the fall of 1964. Through the years he has taught Religion, Latin, and History. He has been active in many organizations such as Big Brothers and the Kiwanis Club. He was a candidate for "Outstanding Young Man" by the Jaycees. He conducted an automotive club, helped to organize the basketball jamboree for the Big Brothers organization, conducted Adult Education classes and C.C.D. classes, was in charge of the Falcon Concession Crew, and helped out in various parishes. In his later years at St. Albert Father Kiernan taught only junior and senior Religion courses. He was given the privilege of scheduling classes as one of his duties as Vice-principal. In January of 1972 Father Daniel Delehant, at that time the principal of St. Albert, was moved to the pastorship of Woodbine, Iowa. Father Kiernan succeeded him as principal until November of 1972. On November 1, 1973, Father Kiernan announced to the faculty and students that he had asked for a parish assignment, and that request had been granted. On the 10th of November Father Kiernan assumed the position of Administrator of St. John's Parish, Des Moines, Iowa. 5 FACULTY 6 c:> c= -::0 ,-~ o, ..... 3: ~ ... , ~· c:> ::t= rn --i % =:s- I rr1 C?

' /' \ 7 8 Father Lawrence Beeson Co-ordinator of Area Catholic School System ADMINISTRATION Mr. Pat Johnson Appointed Principal On November 1, 1972, Mr. Patrick Johnson was appointed to the position of principal at St. Albert High School. This appointment was due to the transfer of Fr. James Kiernan from principal at StAlbert to the position of Administrator of St. John's Parish in Des Moines. This change makes Mr. Johnson the first lay principal in our school's history. Formerly vice-principal, Mr. Johnso_n assumed the duties of scheduling classes along with handling disciplinary problems and other such jobs important to the smooth running of our school. Since his appointment, he has tried to overcome the lack of good substitute teachers and organize detention for troublesome students. He also attempted to introduce the fine arts to St. Albert by arranging for interested students to see operas in Omaha. During the year, he has taken the emphasis off discipline and put it on training the student for the career t hey plan to follow. In doing this, he has worked on such things as giving the students more electives to choose from, providing a vocational training class at Iowa Western Community College, and adding a college English course to our curriculum. This freshman level class conducted by Cre ighton University will help St. Albert seniors in deciding whether or not they are capable of going on to college. For those who do go on to college this course will also provide a credit making the freshman load lighter. These are just a few of the many things Mr. Johnson has done to improve the school. And indeed our principal deserves the respect and support of t he entire student body for taking on the heavy res ili ie~ of running our school and carrying them out so well. Father Lawrence A. Beeson came to Council Bluffs from Des Moines in January of 1972 and has since acquired the duties of Co-ordinator of the Area Catholic School System. His duties as given to him by the Area Board of Education are t o supervise the entire educational system including the Catholic schools and the other religious education programs. He also aids in the organization of the C.C.D. and adult education programs. Father Beeson's many responsibilities keep him busy throughout the year and, because of his diligence, he has helped the Catholic schools in Council Bluffs and will continue to do so next year. Mr. Charles Wolever Director of Student Affairs During our administrative change Mr. Charles Wolever was appointed Director of Student Affairs, because of his experience as Dean of Boys and his eight years of serving this school, Mr. Wolever seems well qualified for this position involving the control and operation of all the school activities. Mr. Wolever's job also included the supervision of the lunch program and the maintance personnel and the handling of discipline problems. During the year Mr. Wolever has enlarged and improved the activities at St Albert because he feels that without a good extracurricular program, our school's morale cannot be at its highest. He has done this by strengthening field trips and organizations, and also by adding new things, such as the National Honor Society, an organization which gives recognition to students for excellence in character, leadership, scholarship and service. He has also helped our principal strengthen the Student Council by giving it more of a voice in school affairs. Mr. Wolever has set a good example for all of us by making himself a part of the activities. He can be seen working diligently at nearly every event that comes to St. Albert and, if we follow his example, he will have reached his goal for our school will surely be strong. Father Paul Monahan Continues as Counselor The real reasons for having a Catholic High school in Council Bluffs is to bring students a religious education and to provide the atmosphere which a public school rarely has. This aspect of education is that of Fr. Monahan. Father is the chairman of the Religion Department and is the guidance counselor. As the chairman of the Religion Department Father Monahan plans the whole religion program. As a counselor he works mainly with students who are interested in going to college. He helps them decide if they are capable of continuing their education, prepares them for college entrance examinations, and tries to get financial aid for students who can qualify. In addition to working on curricular matters, he has done such outside activities as directing a dramatic multi-media interpretation of the life of Christ based on the album "Truth of Truths," and arranging weekly youth Masses for teenagers. Father hopes that in the future the school will have an additional counselor to lighten his load a little. Yet, even if we do acquire an additional counselor, Father will have plenty of work to do throughout the year. 9 10 OFFICE STAFF ENLARGED The St. Albert office staff is enlarged this year with the addition of Jenna Randolph, Ginger Bognich, and Sister Ermanita. Sister Bartella, who was on the office staff last year, completes the office personnel. It is impossible to name all the duties Jenna has as receptionist, but her main duties are to record attendance, process students' credits, and handle the school's mail. Gin!-]er is the bookkeeper for St. Albe rt and also the other schools in the Council Bluffs merged system. Ginger is aided by Sister Ermanita, who came here after being secre· tary at St. Francis School. Sister Ermanita does whatever secretarial jobs there are that need to be done and gives a great deal of cooperation to everyone---except for having her picture taken for the yearbook! Sister Bartella is the secretary to the principal and also teaches two typing cl asses dai ly . Jenna Randol ph - Secretary Ginger Bognich - Bookkeeper Sister Mary Ba rtella - Secretary to the Principal Art-Music-P .E. • • Miss Nancy O'Neill Sister Mary Elain e Mr. John LaBon ia Mrs. Dale Miller Mrs. Sue Smith Miss MaryAnn Angeroth Sister Elaine, the art teacher, ha s been getting quite a number of creative achievements from her many students. After tea ching the basic techniques of art, she set up a budget which called for anything from mobil es to pencil sketches. The students were required to complete this budget and then were graded on th eir pictures for a quarter grade. Mrs. Mill er has been keeping her home economics classes busy with the fundamentals of sewing. Each student was required to make a skirt, which taught them the basics of sewing. Next, they started to sew something that contained sleeves and facing and most of the students chose to make smocks. Many students were quite surprised at the ir own creative abi lity. Mrs. Smith, in addition to her regular senior high P.E . classes, has been teaching the seventh and e ighth grade students a lso. At the beginning of each year the students play Fie ld Hockey, which is a very hea lthy sport. Her schedul e also includes Bad- ~inton, Volleyball, Basketball, Baseba ll, Dancing and working in the area of Acrobatics. All in a ll, Mrs. Smith kept her students quite busy with a variation of activities. 11 12 Mr. Dennis Kingery Mrs. Margaret Dermody Mrs. Ruth Anne Delehant Mr. Steve Schnitker Sister Mary David Mr. Al Leber Math-Science Mr. Schn itker had the experience of teaching his first year at St. Albert this year. He specialized in the Science Department and worked hard with his students. One of the interesting projects that Mr. Schnitker's Physics classes tried was that of testing the force and thrust of rockets. They launched their rockets in the parking lot and were thrilled by the excitement. They also worked a long time on the construction of a Planetarium, which was placed in the schoo l's main hall. The purpose of the Planetarium was to enab le the students to achieve a better understanding of the stars and their positions during different seasons of the year. All in all , the students enjoyed Mr. Schnitker's curriculum. Mrs. Dermody has been busy with her Algebra and Math Analysis classes. Algebra really isn't as hard as it seems after a simple explanation of each section . Math Analysis proved cha ll enging to last year's seniors, expecially the second semester when the independent study program was used instead of daily lectures and assignments. • • • English-Foreign Language • • • Miss Vicky Salvador Miss Sharon Kelly Miss Mary Brauch Mr. Michael Gill Mrs. Linda Borman Sister Mary Catherine Miss Salvador had her hands full this year, as in any other year. She had four periods of senior English and a speech class. The English classes studied English Literature, which consists of the Anglo-Saxon Period and the Middle Ages and many other periods of the past. Aside from Miss Salvador's daily schedule, she gave much of her time and effort to the directing of our school plays, all of which have been a success. Last year the seniors presented the play, "Mrs. McThing" . The audience enjoyed it immensely and the actors, actresses and crews worked hard to make it a success. Miss Kelly taught English to juniors and seniors last year. She explained the characteristics of short stories and poems. For a break in the routine, they read 198.4 by George Orwell. Each Friday a composition must be handed in for grading. Her style reflects opinions rather than facts. Miss Brauch was busy with her Spanish classes also. Her students showed a great interest to learn another language and she taught them what they needed to know. 13 14 Business Education-Shop Sister Mary Benigna Mrs. Rita Schnitker Mr. Ken Petersen Sister Mary Eileen Sister Mary Bartella Sister Eileen worked hard this year teaching American History al'.ld Office Practice. Last year was the first time that the boys were placed in her classes, and it turned out to be quite a learning experience for all. In Office Practice, Sister prepared the girls for the problems that they would encounter in an office situation. She also showed them how to use the Ditto machines and other machines used in modern offices. Mrs. Schnitker had a busy schedule this year while teaching a large, first year shorthand class. They learned the many difficult ways of writing the alphabet in shorthand form. Those who were in their second year of shorthand were busy taking dictation and transcribing letters. Some of the more progressive girls were taking letters at 110 or 120 words a minute. This was qu ite an accomplishment and would enable them to get a good job after high school. Sister Benigna taught Typing I and Typing II. This class was an advantage for t hose who chose to take it because typing is an excellent talent to have. • • • Religion-History-Psychology Father Paul Monahan Mr. Dave McClellan Mr. Terry Coleman Mr. Mike Mauro Mr. Al Sherbo Father Monahan taught some of the seniors the marriage course this year. He started the classes off with sex education notes and then lectured to the classes on the importance of marriage. He also held the important position of counselor, giving advice and opinions to seniors on continuing their education. For the first quarter of the this school year, Mr. Mauro was teaching government and economics to juniors and seniors. In the second quarter he unexpectedly became the new psychology teacher. Upon receiving his new position, he was very enthusiastic and he did a tremendous job. He had Chief Nick Sulentic come in and Chief Sulentic discussed the problem of drugs with the class. In addition to guest speakers, Mr. Mauro went ~nto great detail in his notes he gave to the class on this sub1ect. Included in Mr. Mauro's plans for the psychology classes was a trip to the hospital in Glenwood . 15 16 COOKS This year will see the departure of Mrs. Genevieve Kunasek (near right) and Mrs. Charlotte Ring (far right) from the St. Albert cooking staff. Both will be retiring after eight years of faithful service to the hungry mobs at our school. The loss of these two women may put a dent in the cooking staff for a short time, but don't be too depressed. We still have an excellent crew that we're 1 sure will continue to offer us lunches which are often said to be the best in the city. We owe our respect and gratitude to the culinary staff for putting up with the shoving in the lunch line, the loud noise, and the outdated lunch tickets. We must say good-bye and good luck to Genevieve Kunase k and Charlotte Ring, and give special thanks to Mrs. Ring for doing the nerve-racking job of driving the Neola bus to and from school each day. l l CUSTODIANS Malcom Smith With all tile changes occurring here this year it is not surprising that two new custodians have joined the crew at St. Albert. Malcom Smith and Dean Jensen are now working on the day shift cleaning the c::afeteria and hallways in addition to the many other jobs around the school. Keeping in close contact with the students the custodians have become popular during the year. Malcom's jokes have made him so famous that at one pep rally the students' call of "Speech from Malcom" rang throughout the school. Although the men on the night shift don't see the students as much as those working during the day, they have become acquainted with many of them by meeting them at school activities which are held in the evenings. Wendell Olson, Joe Mrkacek and Paul Olson, a junior at St. Albert, are kept busy with the cleaning of the kitchen, locker rooms, and gym, and also the general maintenance of the building. No matter what they're doing, the custodial crew brightens the scene at this school either with their happy faces and funny jokes or with their mops and buckets.

"A Clockwork Green" was selected as the theme and was evident in all activities. A pep rally Thursday evening on the football field kicked off the big weekend. Floats were presented with the senior and freshmen floats tying for first place honors. A tricycle race between the classes provided many laughs. Then, original skits presented by each class entertained the audience. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Homecoming Court and the crowning of the Queen, Colleen O'Neill. This pep rally was a factor in boosting spirit for the game against the stronger Cougars from Daniel Gross on Friday night. The Falcons lost that game, but it failed to dampen the good ole Falcon spirit. Students and alumni concluded the festive weekend by dancing to the music of ~arthstar on Saturday night.

The float (above) entered in the Nov. 11 parade, represented the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On Oct. 23, Atlantic held their annual Veteran's Day Parade ir. which St. Albert also participated. The float (right) represented the statue of the raising of the flag at lwo Jima. Sophomore students from St. Albert were on the floats and the PomPon girls also marched in both parades. Both floats were built under the supervison of Mr. Gill and Mr. Kingery . MRS. McTHING DOES HER THING Mrs. McThing did her magic of zapping stic;k people in the place of humans before two audiences of full houses on December 3 and 4. The play, under the direction of Miss Vicki Salvador and student director Cathie Swanek, was a huge success and enjoyed by all who attended . The story was basically how Mrs. McThing, a witch, put stick people in the place of Mrs. Howard V. Larue, Ill, and her son, Howay, leaving them out in the cold. For the time being, they live in Shantyland Pool Hall under the gangster, Poison Eddie Schellenback. Through the help of Mimi, Mrs. McThing's daughter, the gangsters get rid of the stick people and the real Mrs. Larue and Howay are back at Larue Towers once again. The comedy-mystery was a different type of play than any other done before, but through the senior class personality and the job well done by all, it proved to be a great success in all ways. A truly different play not to be forgotten easily. Upper Left- Dirty Joe (Pat Lenihan) gives Howay (John Heck) his hat back as Nelson (John Y ochem) , Mrs. Larue (Jean Delehant) and Stin ker (John Ronk) watch .

Miss Nancy O'Neill, the music director, lined up the night with carols, skits and an appearance by Santa Claus. The Grand Finale wound the program up with a message of good cheer. 29 30 Hearts Captured By Cupid - Once again Cupid's arrows hit those hearts who attended the Valentine Dance, February 3, in the school cafeteria. The dance as usual was a Sadie Hawkins dance where · the girls ask the boys to be their date for the dance. The group, Chesire Cat, although an hour late, proved to be a pretty fair group as commented on 'by the some fifty couples in attendance. The dance, usually put on by the sophomores, was this year ta ken over by the seniors under the direction of Miss Mary Brauch. A special thanks and much credit should be given to Miss Brauch and those seniors who helped to make the dance the success it was. Top Right: "My heart bleeds for you."

BB5072 31 32 My Fair Lady London 1912 on Totenham Court Road and 27A Wimpole Street were two of the scenes for this year's musical, "My Fair Lady." The production which was held on April 13, 14, and 15 proved to be a complete success. In addition to the three nightly performances shown to full houses, there was also a student matinee given for the high school students who might not otherwise have been able to attend. The musical was under the drama direction of Miss Salvador, the musical direction of Miss O'Neill, and the choreography of Mrs. Borman. All three plus the assistance of student director Denise Bart and assistant choreographer Sue Vergamini did a great job in gainir.g the cooperation of the cast and putting on a great show enjoyed by all. "My Fair Lady" is a story of how a refined English gentleman, Professor Henry Higgins, with the help of his friend, Colonel Pickeri ng, changes a lower class flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady and duchess. The story was adapted from George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion." A special thanks goes to seniors John Heck, Dan Heitheff, Jea n Delehant and all other members of the all-school cast. Thanks are also in order for the committees and crews who worked so hard behind the scene to help put on a great show. Congratulations, gang! "That Spanish tango really takes it out of you!"

The juniors, with junior class sponsor Mrs. Linda Borman, transformed the New Paxton Hotel Ballroom into an old-fashioned city park complete with bandstand, wishing well, fountain and flower gardens. This year, since the prom was held in the New Paxton Hotel, there was a banquet held before the dance for any promgoers who wished to attend. Something else added to prom was the Prom Court consisting of six juniors and six seniors. Only seniors could reign as king and queen. The first prom court was Linda Wellman, Ann Vallinch, Janet Kaufman, Colleen O'Neill, Sue Vergamini, Shirley Konz, Terry Weare, Steve O'Neill, Kevin Thomas, Joe Kennebeck, John Ronk and Pat Lenihan . John Ronk and Shirley Konz reigned as the first king and queen. "Our Damn Band" provided the .music. Their music, ranging from Elvis Presley and boogie--woogies to "Reelin' in the Heat" and "Imagine", was throughly enjoyed by all.

Solos and duets were presented by Bill Tacke, Geri Joneson, Shelly Phillips, Jean Epperson and Chris Brich and Sue McKiernan and Bill Tacke. "Happiness Is ... "was presented by Colleen O'Neill, Mary Ellen Waldman and Sue McKiernan while the sophomore sextet sang "Can't Help Loving Oat Man." Les Musiques was next on the list. Their songs included "Whistling Gyspy Rover" and the Negro spiritual "Raise a Ruckus" led by Bill Tacke. For the finale, the Junior-Senior Chorus presented their music selections ranging from "All Through the Night" and "Summer Green and Winter White" to "Camelot" and "Mary Poppins."

Back: Mary Kay Caparelli, Mary Kay Hill, Maurice O'Toole, Tim Thompson, Colleen O'Neill, Sue McKiernan, Ramona Crilly, Marcia Konz. With Mr. Mike Gill's guidance the 1973 yearbook staff has produced the seventh volume of the St. Albert "Dimensions." A new layout style was utilized this year which arranges the pictures and co;:>y in a more organized manner. The staff working with this technique is headed by co-editors Jane Scherle and Mary Kay Hill. In addition to Jane's job as coeditor, she also is the chief photographer. Kevin Flecky lends some support in the photographic line. With the exception of the co-editors, the "Dimensions" staff is a totally new group who has to learn the fundamentals of cropping, layout, design, and all the other important phases of yearbooking. Since yearbook production is this year an extra-curricular activity rather than a credited class as it was last year, busy schedules make yearbook production a difficult task. I (Top left) Jane Scherle takes a moment to pose. (Top right) Yearbook advisor Mr. Mike Gill smiles approval of the 1973 "Dimensions".

STUDENT COUNCIL One of the duties of the Student Council is to convey the ideas of the st udent body to the Administration. This year the council did just that when they brought up the idea of having a student lounge in the school. The suggestion has received approval of the administration and is now awaiting the action of the Student Council in the finding of furniture and the organization of the project. If all goes well, the lounge will be located on west side of the cafeteria . In addition to the work on the student lounge, the council worked on the Homecoming Dance and the Va lenti ne Day Dance and helps the volunteer organi zation Outreach. The council is also reviewing the student rules upon request of the Discipline board and participates in the District Student Council Meeting in Atlantic, Iowa . Th is year's Student Council is directed by Sister Mary El aine and headed by President Tim Cannon. The vice-president is Janet Ka ufma n while Gordon Poo le is the secretary-treasurer, and Jean Delehant is the recording secretary. Tim Cannon fi nds t ime to relax between all of his activ it ies wh ich include heading the Student Council. ART CLUB To be a member of the Art Club, all of the students have to work on some outside activities in art. Some of the students in the group, which is composed of juniors and seniors, did such projects as providing the art work for the Veterans' Day float that went to Atlantic, -Iowa, painting the sets for "My Fair Lady", doing special work for the "Accipiter," and helping out with any school chores that needed an artistic touch. They did their work under the guidance of the Art Director, Sister Mary Elaine. (Far left) Marianne Feurt works diligently on a portion of the St. Albert crest.

Spirit was kept alive both at school and at games during the 1972-73 school year through the Pep Club and its many activities. Some of the club's various responsibilities were putting up a different bulletin board in the cafeteria every week and decorating the cafeteria and hallways in preparation for each game. President Mary Therese Gubbels, Vice-. president Mary Kay _Caparelli, and their helpful assistant Sue Noon directed the activities weekly with the support of the other members. Under Moderator Mrs. Sue Smith the Pep Club sponsored many money-making projects. Among these were the selling of spirit buttons, megaphones'. heli um balloons, homecoming buttons and ballpoint pens. The Pep Club was also respons_ible for the spirit-filled buses provided for every away game.

The 1972-73 St. Albert Porn-Pon Squad, which has been in existence for three years, consisted of twenty-two hard working girls under the direction of moderator Nancy O'Neill. Along with their regular performances at both football and basketball games, the girls showed their versatility by performing for special attractions such as the Creighton-Wyoming basketball game at Creighton, and the Nebraska-Harlem Thrillers game at which they performed with the Porn Pon Squad from Lewis Ce ntral High School. In addition to this they participated in a variety of parades including a Veterans' Day Parade in Atlantic, Iowa, and the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. Last summer Marg Haas, Janine Duggan, Karen Sandbothe, and Sue McKiernan participated in a clinic in Colorado and brought home First Place honors. Much recognition should be given to the Porn Pon Squad for another year of successful year of half-time entertainment. --· :l*il' --~ ,.,. .. ~ Liirn -= Veterans' Day in Atlantic.

Their many activities included the Creston Music Clinic, the Council Bluffs Music Cl inic at A.L., and the State Music Contest in Des Moines where they won high ratings. The Les Musiques also saw the movies "Godspell" and "The Sound of Music." Even with their many musical activities, the choirs still found time to present two fine programs, the Christmas Concert and the Spring Revue, and provided the musical support for the spring musical "My Fair Lady."

Two days until the opening game, are we ready . . . ten days of practice twice a day, then two weeks of practice once school had opened .. . I certainly hope so . I know all my assignments and remember all the plays, but will I· be able to do my job? GO, FALCONS, GO! We want a victory! Now the lights are glaring down on the field. Calisthenics are over; we put on our helmets after the national anthem; the whistle blows; the football goes sailing down the field ; we got the ball in good field position. Five, four, three, two, one, VICTORY! We stand 1-0. Practice again in two days .... sure feels good to win, especially that first big one. The weather grows cold and so does the team. After being 2-1 , a losing streak really drags the school spirit down. We got to get back up. We got to win that big game. Now going into the last game our record stands at 2-6. But we are up for the game with rival Lewis Central as we were for Thomas Jefferson. WE SCORE! Saint Albert is burying their opponent. The final gun signals a S.A. victory. All the hardships of the season seem worth while now. That last one means a lot because it not only ends the year on a good note, but it is a win for the ne xt season .

This was very true of the St. Albert team coach ed by Mr. John LaBonia. The Falcons compiled a 17 -6 record with the best defense and second best offense in the city. Th ey fell short of going to the State Tournam e nt by lo sin g to H arl an, 65 -21 . Before the loss, the Falcons had won eleven of their last twelve game s. Throughout the season the team was led by senior Tim Cannon. Cannon broke variou s school records including the most points scored in one ga me (37), the most points in one season (500), most career points (860), and best field percentage (56 %). The defense was the key for St. Alb ert led by the hard pr essing guard Pat Lenihan and t he rebounding power of Brian Sweeney and Marti Wol e ver. The de fe n sive a verage for the season was a low 52.3%. The offensive team showed good strength with a 66.2% average. The Fa lcons had six games over 80 points and t hree over 90 points.

The St. Albert Varsity Saints marched proudly under the leadership of Mr. Tom Cannon and Mr. Al Sherbo compiling a 10-11 record for a first season team. The Saints placed second in the First Annual Girls' Holiday Tournament held at St. Al - bert, second in the Sectional Tournament and fourth in the Districts. Leading the team were seniors Shirley Konz, Linda Novak, Ann Crowley, Dee Doyle, Mary Kay Fischer and Jane Scherle. Oth er standouts included junior Nancy Gatrost, and freshman Sue Bow ers in the guard court and sophomore Elaine Konz with frosh Rets ey Ronk in the forward court. The Saints far ed well against city rivals A.L. and T.J. by d efeating A.L. twice, 66-57 and 68 -45, and losing their first bout to the Lady Lynx by one in overtime, 61-60. Against T.J. the Saints came on strong by winning all four games. Ma - jor upsets included a six -point loss to Creston, a three -point loss to Corning, five points under Hamburg and eight points under Tri - C ent er to place second in the Sectional Tournam ent. Hopefuls for next season include Gatrost, Bowers, Konz and Ronk along with juniors Denise Casson, T eresa Fische r, M ary Anne Pawlo ski Cheri Stinn and Lanette Dau.

The offense averaged 40.8 points a game while the defense held their opponents to only 38.6 points a game. The best parts of the season included a four game winning streak over A.L., Creston, Corning and T.J. and winning five away games out of six. The standouts for the J.V.'s were Cheri Stinn, Mary Anne Pawloski, Retsey Ronk, Elaine Konz, Lanette Dau , Denise Casson and Teresa Fischer, all of whom saw Varsity action. Next year's team should be even better with the freshmen and sophomores joining the team on a regular basis. Both Retsey Ronk and Elaine Konz scored over twenty points a game. Ronk netted 28 over T.J. and Underwood and 23 over Creston while Konz sank 22 over A.L. and 28 over T.J. Three of their four losses were to experienced teams from Glenwood, Wa_lnut and Lewis Central. The loss to L.C. proved to be the biggest d isappointment of the season as the J. V.'s only scored thirteen points and they hadn't showed what they accomplished throughout the season . Next year's plans for the team include developing a stronger offensive threat to boost the scoring average and a probable switch from a zone defense to a man-to-man defense. In the words of Coach Sherbo, "We'll be back next year." 79 BO VARSITY WRESTLING Mike Van Scoy shows his opponent the meaning of pain . (Right) Mike Van Scoy , Jim McGr uder, Tim Gallagher.

With eleven returning lettermen and a strong reserve field the outlook is very bright. Probably the brightest spot is that three of the returning lettermen, Mike Van Scoy, Jim McGruder, and Tim Gallagher, progressed through the sectionals and into the district tournament, and Tim went on to capture fifth place in the State Tourney. Tim Gallagher, the team's leader, had won several tournaments. One of his most outstanding tournaments was the South Invitational where he won 1st place in his weight division and was voted the tournaments' Most Outstanding Wrestler.

The team wasn't able to have any dual meets this year, but they attended a number of invitationals. Some of the main ones they went to were the Adair-Casey meet where they placed second, the Clarinda meet where they came up with seventh, and the district meet where they grabbed second place ahead of sixteen other teams.

GIRLS' TENNIS The girls' tennis team had a most respectable 4-2 dual meet record this year under the fine coaching of Mrs. Sue Smith. The record is even better when one considers the fact that only three seniors were on the team, the remaining members being underclassmen. So the experience and training should make next year's team a winner. Sock it to 'em, Sue! FALCONS 3 0 3 3 2 4 I thought it was in too, Shirley ! OPPONENTS C.B.

But, unfortunately, one of the matches was rained, one was winded out, and another unbelievably snowed out. None of the meets were able to be resched- - uled, so Harlan, Shenandoah, and Atlantic were not played. The boys' team had never won a match going into this season and they ill-fa tedly finished the same way. But this year has been a learning period for the most of the players and even for Mr. LaBonia who had never before coached a tennis team. We can look forward to a fine team next year since all but one of the players are underclassmen, and with a little luck the team will come up with the ir first successful season in their three year history at St. Albert.

The junior varsity team consists of nine freshmen and four sophomores who are having a tough time competing with the older junior varsity teams in their league. The varsity team is doing a fine job as they are led by senior Tim Cannon. Tim has led the city in home runs, had the city's best batting average(over .400), and has been voted the best pitcher in the Lewis Central tournament where he pitched a onehitter. Other Falcons who have hit the top ten in batting thus far are Marti Wolever and Gary Rindone. The baseball program has a new fielder this year in the form of one electric pitching machine. The machine (shown at right) has been a help as it can pitch for a long time and hurl a number of different pitches.

In order to fulfill his orders it is necessary to stra ngle his clients, including six girls who are having a seance during a slumber party. As the scientist and Egor are examining the loot taken from the girls, t he monste r casuall y drinks from one of the vials in the laboratory and becomes human. In ot her act ivities, e ight students were accompanied by Miss Sa lvador to Dana College in Blair, Nebraska, for a Drama Workshop at which they le arned t echniques fo r stage make up, movement, scene painting, and improvisation.

Helps Celebrate Tenth Anniversary On April 16, 1974, 2,500 people greeted Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in the sctrool gymnasium. Archbishop Sheen, m ade famous by his ABC TV series "Life is Worth Living," was welcomed by a large crowd at the Ramada Inn a few hours before. The ceremonies opened with a performance by the Strategic Air Command Band and an introduction by former mayor of Omaha, Eugene Leahy. Remarks w ere also given by 1967 St. Albert graduate and present city-councilman, D an Lewis, and the bishop of Des Moines, Maurice Dingman. Archbishop Sheen's address was delicately balanced with humor and solid, thought-provoking philosophy which captivat ed his audience. The presentation of a letter and d iploma by Student Council President, Matt Walsh. to Archbishop Sheen and the announcement of the formation of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Memorial Endowment Funds which will give financial assistance to needy students completed the program.

With his previous education at various colleges and universities such as Huron, South Dakota, University of Nebraska at Omaha, University of Maryland and Creighton University, he is well qualified for his position as principal. Mr. Johnson feels that this year at Saint Albert has brought about many good changes. First of all, the revision of the student handbook, also having the same passing time between classes for both the junior high and senior high students, and returning to the Dean of girls and the Dean of boys. The development of curricular electives in Religion and English has helped to promote greater student effort in these courses. The addition of the college courses, English and History, on our own campus provided by Creighton University along with the S.P.A.C.E. career education program and the Iowa Western courses for senior students has added considerably to the overall interest in the area of vocational work. Mr. Johnson is also pleased with the development of the Work Study Habits Course for the freshmen and the success of the speed reading course. Office Staff Enlarged There was a new addition to the office staff this year. Sister Lucille is formerly from Melrose, Iowa, where she was a cook. She then moved to Des Moines and that's when she started to do office work. Sister Lucille enjoys her work here at Saint Albert very much. She said that she feels Saint Albert has a special spirit of its own. Her duties consist of answering the phone, delivering messages, keeping attendance records up to date, and helping people when they come into the office. Sister Bartella is Mr. Johnsons secretary, Sister Ermanita keeps track of the Accounts Receivable records and Ginger Bognich takes care of the Accounts Payable records.

However, most of the major parts in the play were carried by seniors. The play, written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, is set on the year 1925 and revolves around the "Monkey Scope" Trials, of evolution-vs.-creation. A school teacher named Bertram Cates is on trial for having read parts of Darwins controversial book on evolution to his class. Because society in those days believed totally in the Bible and its stories of creation, the trial drew national recognition from radio and newspaper reporters. With Henry Drummond on the defense, and Matthew Harrison Brady for the prosecution, the trial began in blistering heat before a jury of twelve. The odds were stacked up against Cates from the beginning of the trial because the jury was made up mostly of Bible readers and church-goers. The judge would not allow a number of the defense witnesses to take the stand until Matthew H. Brady himself was called. This questioning was the turning point of the trial as Drummond made a fool out of Brady. The testimony by Brady, and Cates' final speech helped to sway the judge's mind that he later issued him the lightest possible sentence. Bertram Cates (Andy Heck) is saddened when he hears that the jury has found him guilty . Rachel Brown (Geri Joneson), and t he jury react to a surprising new development in the trial. The jurors are (Row 1 L t o R) : Mary El len Waldman, R ita Wettengel, Sharon Messbarger, Julie Epperson, Karen Gronstal, Debbie Powell. Row 2 : Mary T. Gubbels, Patty Scott, Mary Flecky, Jean Vallinch, Jean Epperson, and Kay Lustgraaf (hidden from view). Linda Wellman applies her makeup in preparation for the dress rehearsal.

Directed by Miss Victoria Salvador, assisted by Miss Nancy O'Neill and choreography by Mrs. Linda Borman, the musical was presented on April 5, 6 and 7, and was greeted by a well packed crowd. An outdoor scene, built and painted by the Art Club and supervised by Sister Elaine, was the setting. The musical is the story of a gypsy tribe ruled by the "Father Gypsy" (Tom Jones) and his wife (Chris Briehl. The tribe is about to be handed over to the father's oldest son Nikoli (Barry Barak) . Nikoli leaves the tribe for a city girl, so now Nikoli's father has to give the tribe to someone else. Vario (Tom Olsen) is next in line to receive the tribe, but Vario is a thief and is disliked by all the gypsies of the tribe. In time Nikoli finds out where his true home is and comes back to the tribe and his old girl friend Rosita (Jean Epperson) and together take over the tribe for his father.

Under the direction of Moderator Mike Gill and Co-editors Kevin Flecky and Phil Spitznagle, the Dimensions staff is learning all the techniques of laying out a Yearbook. One technique is the use of focal point. This is a method arranging of the pictures which gives the book a more uniform look. This and many other techniques helped make the 10th Anniversary Dimensions the best ever. · Above-Moderator Mike Gill.

In addition to the regular activities of arranging dances and homecoming activities, the Council engaged in two other important projects. Before Christmas the Student Council headed a drive among the students for donations to the David Rhodes Fund. David Rhodes, infant son of Carol Heiter Rhodes, a former student at St. Albert, was suffering from a serious kidney ai lme nt which required constant medical attention, some of which was given in Rochester, Minn. The students raised over $1,300.00 doll ars fo r this cause. In addition, the council headed the student advance ticket drive for the spring carnival to help raise funds for the sch ool. Fr.

' 4-5 Record Doesn't Tell the Story What looked like a promising campaign for the 73 football season turned sour as the Falcons ran up against five defeats in nine outings. What is not reflected in the statistics is that three of the losses were to the top teams in the Midwest. The other losses were to A. L. and Lewis Central. It was the last season for Coach Dave McClellan,_ the third Falcon coach in the last seven years. Although he didn't leave a winner, he left a winners attitude and desire that will carry on to our future football teams. (Upper Left) Bob Sulentic sticks a LeMars runner.

The 1974 Varsity Basketball team finished out the year with its most prestigious season yet. During the season the Falcons posted a 14-4 record. Also they ended up 16th in state, and No. 1 in Southwest Iowa . During the season the Falcons knocked off such teams as Treynor who finished 4th in Class A, and who, by the way, lost their first game in five years at home to the Falcons. Also St. Albert beat the No. 1 Class B in Nebraska, Pius X. Also as the weeks went on the Falcons beat Lewis Central, th e 15th rated team in State, and then beat them again later in the season. Then the Falcons proved their skills as they defeated 14th rated Carroll Kuemper. The Falcons only lost 4 games this season, twice to A.L., rated 2nd in Southwest Iowa, and then to 4th rated Holy Name, and to Falls City, both Nebraska teams. Other highlights during the year were that the Falcons ended up second in the city in total offense, and first in defense. This was the second straight year St . Albert has led this depart- ment.

Leading the Saintes throughout t!:le season were senior guards, Mary Ann Pawlowski and Nancy Gatrost. These two defensive standouts led the team in rebounds and steals throughout their two years of varsity competition. Guiding the offense for the Saintes were Elaine Konz and the teams leading scorer Retsey Ronk. Also filling in the third forward spot was senior Denise Casson who along with Elaine and Retsey brought the team many bright moments throughout the year. Even though the Saintes were beaten in the first game of the tournament by Southwest Iowa power, Treynor, Coach Cannon is very optimistic about next year's team. He feels with a couple more years of experience the girls from St. Albert will be recognized as a State power. So now that the second season is finished the girls can have a couple of months rest and then it's back to work getting ready for next year.

With a 6-4 dual record and in the top 4 in three of the tournaments, the Falcons posted their highest rating ever. Under the guidance of our fine head coach Ken Petersen the grapplers were rated 2nd in Southwest Iowa, and considered to be one of the top teams in Class AA. Leading the team throughout the year was three time All-Stater Tim Gallagher, who finished out the year with a 30-2 record and considered to be one of the top wrestlers in the State. Also strong performance came from Jim McGruder who finished 4th in the District Meet in Winterset, Iowa. With them were fellow seniors Jim Minor, Matt Steenson, Mike Adams, Ken Schrieber, Mark Bowers and Tom Jones. Surprising performances were turned in by the underclassman, Tom Gallagher, He was one of the teams best wrestlers throughout the year. Tom finished 5th in the District meet and also won three tournament at the 98 pound class. Along with Tom was another Sophomore Owen Burgin at 167. Owen finished 4th at the Districts but only lost 2-1 to the district winner. Owen also turned in strong tournament showings and by next year should be considered one of the top wrestlers in the area. Teaming up with these two was Gary Ryba, who at 105, should bring the Falcons many bright moments in the future . So, all in all, it was a great year for Coach Petersen and the School of St. Albert and with these t hree Sophs and many fine Juniors we should have a great future for the wrestling program. 132-Matt Steenson, 145-Mike Adams, 119-Jim McGruder.

Tim fin· ished out his three year varsity seasons with a 82-7 record. Also during his three years Tim fin· ished third, fifth, and eighth in the state tourna· men ts. During this time he was rated 1st in Southwest Iowa, and considered one of the top wrestlers in the State Tournament. Even though Tim didn't get higher than eighth this year, everyone still knows that "Gally"will always be number one in the hearts of Council Bluffs fans.

VARSITY TRA.CK The 1974 Track Season was primarily a rebuilding year for Head Coach Al Leber, but it did have its bright points. One of these bright points was Senior Bill Roux. Bill set a new school record in the Shot Put and capped off off his year by capturing the City crown. Two more bright spots were Kevin Thomas, an exceptional Long Jumper and Hurdler, and Matt Walsh, one of the best High Jumpers in Southwest Iowa. One other spot was the quartet of four Juniors who made up the Two Mile Relay. Bob Weidman, John Burkey, Steve Epperson, and Tom Friel had quite a successful season, during which they won 6 of 9 meets, including the City Championship, District Championship, and a 4th place finish in the State Meet. They also set a new District record and new school record in the State finale. I Steve Epperson moves into t he lead as he goes around his A. L. and T . J. opponents.

Theresa Fischer was the leading medalist and placed high in all the tournaments. Theresa also won the girls Bert Flack award this year at the sports banquet.

' Boys Go lf The Boys' Golf team, while not winning many this year, accomplished many things never before realized by Sai nt Albert lin ksmen. Wh ile only winning four matches, they fared very well in tournament play. Jim La Mantia, the top golfer of a year ago, missed the first seven matches and was not in true playing form until late in the season. Mark Bowers, Joe Pogge, and Steve Purnell hel d onto the top positions. They fought for the number one spot constantly w ith Mark or Joe usually being the one to tee off first. Joe Pogge went on to wi n the original Bert Flack award for being t he Outstanding S. A. Golfer. In sectional tournament play, the Falcons came in second place behind Oakland which was good enough to advance to District play at Red Oak. There the team missed going to state golf tournament by four strokes, but Jim La Mantia made it by tying for District Medalist. Next year's team outlook is good although three of the top four golfers are gone with only Jim La Mantia returning. Several underclassmen really came on strong at the end of the year and should do well next year.

Run, Run, Run Coach John LaBonia and his 1973 cross country team enjoyed its best year in its young four year career. The young falcons proved to be one of the best teams in the area. They never finished any lower than third place. The highlight according to Mr. LaBonia was their win in a dual meet with cross city rival A.L. Also, at the state meet in Grinnel, the falcons finished with a school high of fifth place. The winners in that meet were as follows; Richard Hurley, the teams captain, finished fifth. Next was Steve Epperson with a tenth place finish. Finishing twenty-eighth was junior Bob Weidman. Finally Joe Conlon rounded out the teams performance with a fortieth place. Next season should be even more promising to St. Albert, for the team only loses one runner by graduation! This being captain Richard Hurley. But Mr. LaBonia is very optimistic and thinks they can do even better if someone can pick up the slack of Hurley. Also he commented that added help will come from another fine runner, this being Chet The Jet Friel. (Top Left) Steve Epperson on his way to his tenth place finish at the state meet.

The 28-13 record is the best record ever compiled by Coach Chuck Wolever's teams. The Falcons were led this year by the hitting of Ken Schreiber, Gary Rindone, and Marti Wolever; the fielding of Mike Shudak, Kevin Carroll, and Steve Epperson; and the pitching of Dave Stokes, Steve O'Neill, and Chuck Berner. The Falcons did well in the tough Iowa-Nebraska League, and held their own against Southwest Iowa competition. Added to this years schedule was a trip to Huron, South Dakota.

St. Albert will miss Mr. Johnson and long remember him for his many accomplishments. During Mr. Johnson's short time at St. Al be rt, many advancements were made. The National Honor Society was begun which recognizes students for their scholastic ability as well as their service to school and community. The S.P.A.C.E. program was developed with Iowa Western Community College which allows St. Albert seniors to receive vocational training on a shared-time basis. Arrangements were made with Creighton University for offering college level History and English courses to seniors and granting college credit. Creighton University also has offered adult night extension courses at St. Albert. In addition to the educational advantages, Mr. John· son was instrumental in organizing the debate team and Junior High sports program. Mr. Johnson has done a great deal for St. Albert. He has worked diligently on the St. Albert program in order to make it the success that it is. We all thank him and wish him the best of luck in the future.

Cooks & Custodians The cooks this year have proven once again that despite high prices and little Government aid, good lunches can be served. The cooks have done their part in helping some of the students pay off part of their tuition by work· ing in the cafeteria during their lunch hour. The janitors have had two new additional helpers this year, Al Reeves, and Ray McManus. Their duties include keeping the snow cleared off of the parking Jot and hill, and also keeping up the general appearance of the build· ing. The night janitors are also kept busy with cleaning up and doing the necessary repair work around the building.

Prior to this year, the responsibilities of financial manager and promotional manager were spread among the faculty and administration . But the load became too cumbersome, so the Area School Board hired Mr. Helms to coordinate the financial activities. In addition to Mr. Helms and Mrs. Blum, our regular staff includes Sister Bartella who serves as secretary to the principal, Sister Ermanita who helps with the bookkeeping by handling tuition payments, and Sister Lucille, receptionist and attendance cler k.

The play presents the problems a psychiatrist-writer faces when he fails to apply the professional guidelines on child rearing to his own teenage daughter. Cast as the harassed and frustrated father was Jim Hartman. His wife Alice was played by Sally Duggan. Completing the Kingsley Family were Linda and Abbey, with Kathy Kenney and Becki Bronson in those roles. The teenagers gave this comedy of today a special quality all its own. In addition to Miss Kenney, these young "flipouts" and "cuties" included, Tom Dusing, Brian Henderson, Retsey Ronk, Tim Carpenter, John Jones, Dana Caughlin, Pat Heck, Chris Leber, Patti Scott, Julie Smyth, Mike Smyth, Karen Gronstal, and Sharon Messbarger. Mike Hughes was cast as the bearded hippie-painter, Bartholomew Smutts, Mary Ann Lenihan as the hypocondriac physician, Romana Crilly as the overpowering lady gym teacher, Joe Connolly as the antagonistic young ghost writer of Dr. Kingsleys best selling book, and Roberta Fischer was his business-minded publisher. Staging her initial production at St. Albert, Mrs. Blatt was delighted and gratified with the success of the show, "The Impossible Years." The success was att ributed to countless hours of hard work o n the part of many people. The assistant d irectors, Karen Gronstal and Sharon Messbarge r we re of particular hel p t o Mrs. Blatt.

A total of 1, 700 people attended the scheduled 4 performances and 1 pemand performance. Karen Gronstal played the lead role as Dorothy with other major parts being played by Melanie Herbert as the Scarecrow, Tim Daughtery as the Tinman , Romana Crilly as the Lion, Cece Krettek playing the Wicked Witch, and Janet Sulentic as Aunt Em. The student involvement was fantastic as over 75 students were actually in the play while many others contributed in set construction, props, make up, and other jobs behind the scenes vital to the production of a stage play. The hard work of all those cast and crew involved was evident as the sell out crowds were responsive and enjoyed the old time favorite. (R ight) Dorothy (Karen Gronst al), the Tinman (Tim _Daugherty), and the Scarecrow (Melanie Herbert) are o ff to see th e Wi zard.

Because of rising prices, the yearbook staff endeavored to make better use of page space by reducing the book size slightly, yet retaining basically the same elements. Since there were only six staff members, each of the staffers was involved in every phase of book production. (Top) Mr. Gill, yearbook advisor, smiles for the photographer.

At the State Meet, which was held at Ames, Iowa, the Falcons were led by seniors. Steve Epperson and Bob Weidman finished 8th and 10th in a field of 200 runners, while Tom Friel finished 21st. Underclassmen Joe Conlon and Pete Meidlinger finished high, coming in at 31st and 41st. Throughout the season the Falcons faired well in every Invitational, by never finishing lower than fourth, and capturing three team titles. Included in this years schedule was an overnight trip to Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. Coach LaBonia's crew responded, making it a clean sweep by capturing the first five individual places along with the team title.

Come on now, you can't drop those passes like that. Let's go to defense, maybe you guys are hitters, you don't like to get hit. Now stick somebody. Get your tails down. Use your hands. You got to try to rip his he-ad off. Football's a violent game. You have to think that way. Alright, run down to t he goalposts and jog into the showers ... After you get in you swear up and down you're going to quit. You t hink you can't take it anymore. But you never quit. Everyone guts it out together, 45-50 people start to mold into a team, you start t o get a little pride . First game you get you rself and each other psyched up because you rea lly want it. But it's no good, A. L. is just too much. It takes a couple of games to get going. The offense finally gets untracked and Corn ing fa l Is. But you suffer a letdown. After .controlling the first half, Boystown ral lies to win a squeaker. Now it's time for homecoming. You are playi ng a team rated in st ate. The desire to be the first Falcon team t o win its homecoming is there. But Carroll Kuemper is worth its high rating. They only score two touchdowns but have a stonewall defense an d the offense just couldn't score. Now the season is drawing t o a close and the defense is finally learned well enou gh t o function. The offense runs with greased gears and the last two games are victories. The seasons record is only 3-6, but when you look back you can fee l proud .... You lost several t imes but never, never were you beaten. (Above ) Falcon coaches make decision on crucia l 4th down play.

Their chance was better than ever this year because of the three class setup. -The Falcons started the year with a loss at Sioux City East, but at the Christmas break they were 3-2. They improved their record to 7-4, and were ranked 1st in Southwest Iowa, when they lost two straight games to Maryville, Mo., and Paul VI. After the Paul VI game, Coach John LaBonia said to his team, "Right now is the point of the season when you either put it together, or slide in with a mediocre finish . It's up to you seniors to lead the way." The Falcons finished the season with 5 victories in preparation for the tournament. The four opponents the Falcons faced in District and Substate action were no match, as the Falcons outscored them by an average of 30 points, and made it a first for St. Albert in State tournament action .

Even though Sa int Albert was labeled the underdog in every game, t he Fa lcons showed as much poise as anyone . This led many peo ple to call them t he Cinderella Team of the 1975 tourney. By coming from eleven points behind in the fourth quarter, the Falcons defeated Pella 57-56, and earned the right to play the pre-tourney favorite Forest City . After easily handling them 53-40, St. Albert defeated Ch erokee the next night in overtime 56-51, to capture the AA State Champi o nship .

How can a relay team not win the state when you have such fine coaches as Al Leber, Larry Patten, Nick McGrain? That is the way the members of the Two Mile Relay felt, and the way they ran proved that excellent coaching helped them to the State Championship. At state, the Falcons were never challenged as they literally breezed to an 8 :03.4 clocking, 3Y, seconds ahead of their nearest rival. There were many outstanding and surprising times turned in this season. Two new school records were set by the team this year. The two Mile Relay with its 8 :03.4 clocking, and Bob Weidman in the Two Mile Run with a time of 10: 07.0. Other excellent t imes were turned in by Tom Friel in the 440 (:50.5) and the 880 (1 :57.7), Steve Epperson in the Mile (4:33.0) and Weidman and Jim Haas in the 880 with times of 1 :58.5 and 1 :59.6 respectively.

The Two Mile Relay of Scott Wallace, Tim Lenihan, Mark Bridges, and Powers ran an 'amazing record of 8:53.3. The Mile Relay of Ron Sailors, Tony Romano, Wallace and Powers set another record in 3:52.9. And a third relay record was set by Wallace, Corbal ey. Sai I ors and Powers in the Mile Medley in a time of 4 :09.2. This year was the first year a St. Albert Freshman has ever won a Metro Conference Title .

These classes, each carrying the equivalent of three semester hours, make it possible for a Saint Albert Senior to accumulate six college semester hours before actually entering college. The Freshman level courses were taught by Mr. Chris Kribare (European History) and Doctor Michael Sundermeier (Modern Fiction). This excellent program, which is offered at considerable savings to the student, was initiated by Mr. Patrick Johnson, former Principal of Saint Albert. (Right) Doctor Michael Sundermeier enlightens the students on the subject of protagonist and antagonist. (Below) Student Bob Burns prepares the reading material for the next lecture.

At the end of each discussion a group session was held in which students and faculty were allowed to voice their opinions and beliefs. Students voiced opinions on a new student lounge, better contact between Student Council and student body, school spirit and a range of other topics.

Mr. Devaney's address stressed the importance of the graduates giving an extra effort in everything they do. He explained that the difference between a winner and a loser is that the winner gives that "little bit more" toward the achievement of his goal. He al- so pointed out to the Seniors that they must always prepare what talents they have been given so thatithey can do their best in achieving great accomplishments as our basketball and track teams have done this year. Music for the ceremonies' was provided by Ruth Horn, organist, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wilson, who sang the National Anthem, Miss O'Neill and the school choir and Patty Liston, piano accompamst.

Broadway 322-5567 The decad e of the 70's may well go down in history as a turning poin t in the lifestyle of this country. A time when man suddenly awoke from a lifestyle of increasing , and many times was teful , energy consum ption. And when he awoke to decreasing fuel and energy supplies, he took a positive step and entered the age of energy conservation . It wi ll be noted as a time when it became as important to use existing energy supplies wisely, as to find and develop new and alternate sources. That's why at Iowa Power, we think practicing energy conservation, like insulating your house well, is so important. Important becau se we don't think it makes sense for any of us to use or pay for more energy than we really need . At Iowa Power, it's our responsibility to provide ad equate supplies of energy.

The action centers around Abigail Williams (played by Jo Ellen Hopp) who was thought to be possessed by the devil. The Reverend Samuel Parris (Mike Smyth) sends for the Reverend John Hale, (Pete Meidlinger) a minister noted for his work in ridding people of spirits. John Proctor (Brad Neary) a villager who does not believe in witchcraft, speaks out against the idea that people may be possessed, until finally, suspicion is brought upon him that he is working for Satan.

The members of the council spent one afternoon brainstorming on such th ings as: honors day, eligibility, Lettermen's Club, and honor's passes. Recommendations were then made to the activity committee. In addition to this work day, the Student Council also directed homecoming activities, participated in the Handyperson project, and sponsored couples at a Muscular Dystrophy Dancethon .

The dinner theater was developed by a Parents' Club Committee working in conjunction with the Drama and Music departments and replaced the traditional Spring Concert given by the Music Department. The Parents' Club handled all the dinner ar- rangements including the preparation and serv- ing of the authentic Italian Dinner. Entertainment during the dinner was provided by the newly formed band under the direction of Mr. Ron Jewel, and the various vocal groups under the direction of Miss Nancy O'Neill. Mrs. Paula Blatt directed the three act play written by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore. The evenings entertainment and dinner were superb and were well received by the more than 400 persons who attended. 34 CAST: Judy Kimball . . . . . . . . . . . . .

By doing this, it was thought each group could relate better to their own age group, and it would also avoid disturbances and petty arguments. The first day included discussion, movies, arts and crafts, and prayer. The second day was highlighted by a communal penance service, and a special Christmas dinner prepared and served by parents. 36 (Ctr.

A one-semester course was presented this year in commemoration of our nation's Bicentennial. Miss O'Neill and Miss Brauch were the designers of this special course. In addition to Miss O'Neill and Miss Brauch, course instruction was offered on a rotation· basis utilizing Mr. Sherbo, Mrs. Blatt, Mrs. Angeroth, Sister Raymond, Mrs. Miller, and Mrs. Bublitz as supporting instructors.

What looked like a promising seasor:i for the "75" football Falcons turned sour as the Falcons ran up against four Midwest powers. Green and Gold dropped three close games and salvaged a tie for the homecoming crowd. The Falcons had a very young team with seven Juniors starting on offense and six Juniors starting on defense. The last game of the season matched the Falcons against the Lewis Central Titans. Tim Carpenter started things off well with a 76 yard kickoff return, but the Falcons were turned back 21-19 by the Titans. The sea- son next year looks optimistic with plenty of Juniors such as Kevin Marr, Mark Dillin, and Randy Kenkel anchoring the offense and Tim· Hughes, John B~ugenh mke, Pat Sealock, and Don Clark holding down the defense. Two Falcons, Jim Haas (defensive end) and Owen Burgen (linebacker), were picked for the All-City Team. Falcons rejoice after another T.D. 42 !Top L.) Ron Sailors tries to elude an A.l. foe.

Rita Wettengel and Tom Dusing addressed the seniors giving their reflections on their high school experiences. Musical selections were directed by Miss O'Neill and were performed by Tim Daugherty, Brad Neary, Danita Johnson, and the Concert Choir. The Musical selections were accompanied by Kathy Kilnoski on the flute, Jo Ellen Hopp, Piano, and Patty Liston, organ. Diplomas were presented by Maurice Dingman, Bishop of Des Moines, and Jon Narmi, President of the Area Board of Education. 99 FRESHffiAN CLASS Steve Altman Connie Applegate Vicki Barak Brenda Barnes Joanne Bartholomew Patti Beezley Terry Berner Susie Bintner Janet Blodgett Lisa Blum Joe Boll Richard Bunnell Debbie Burdick Kathy Burkey Howard B\,lrns Pi!tt'i Busch Mike Carta Leslie Christiansen Greg Clark Kim Clark Gary Coenen Rick Colpitts Jean Cronk 100 Tom Crowley Matt Doran Ann Eatherton Steve Eckel Shelly Fowler Karen Gehr Mark Goebel Mike Gorman Jim Grant Ruth Graybill Joan Green Kathleen Greiner Sheila Gronstal Norma Grote Joe Gubbels Patty Haas John Hansen David Harding Charles Hartwell Kathy Haug Sarah Heck Tom Henderson Dave Henry Robert Hopp Kelly Joneson Debbi Kalasek Chris Kealy Loretta Kelly Jan Kenkel Rick Ken kel 101 Jean Kilnoski Dan Kobold Don Konz Vicki Konz Darcy Krittenbrink Craig Krupicka Mark LaChappell John Larchick Lori Larson Norma Leber Vicki Lemire Duane Losh Tim Lustgraaf Jerry Madsen Bill Manning Mary Marr Paula Mccumber Tim McDonald Dan McGinn Pat McGinn Dan McGruder Jeff McKenzie Jolene Moran Molly Mulqueen Peggy Murphy Lori Nuzum Barb O'Connor Diane O'Grady Jeff Olson Patt i O'Neill 102 Bob Ronk, Steve Prichard and Dave Henry enjoy f ootball act ion.

But for many people, especially the seniors, it started as soon as football was over last year. This dedication proved its worth as this year's edition of the football Falcons ran up a 9-2 record and a 3rd place finish in the state. This was the best record in the history of the school, and the first football team in the playoffs from Council Bluffs. It all began in September at Lewis Central where the Falcons recorded an impressive 28-8 win. The Falcon~ wound up their regular season w1_th a spectacular win over cross-town nval Thomas Jefferson. In this game the Falcon defense held T.J. to minus 28 yards in the first half as the Falcon offense rambled for 13 points. In the first game of the _playoffs t~e Falcons were pitted agamst Guthne Center. The Falcons came out on top 20-18. This moved the team to the semi-fmals where the Falcons played the eventual State Champs, Central Lyon of Rock Rapids. Tfie Falcons came out on the short end, but were awarded a 3rd place trophy in Class 2A. 8 FALCONS OPPONENTS 28 Lewis Central 34 Exira 7 Boystown 14 Mason City Newma n 28 Le Mars 21 Carroll Kuemper 13 Lincoln Pius X 24 Ft.

St. Albe Twelve students participated in an aviation education class which was begun the second se- mester, and they found the experience rewarding. The course primarily dealt with ground school material, aircraft systems and instruments, how planes fly, and plotting courses. In-school coursework was supported by two field trips. The first trip was to Eppley Airfield in Omaha where the students were able to visit the contI:ol tower, sit in the cockpit of a Boeing 727, discuss job opportunities with United Airline personnel, get an "inside" look at airport security, inspec~ the fire ~uipment ~t the cras_h barn, and talk with the bnefers at Flight Service. The second trip took the students to Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska, for a tour of the base, an "on-board" look at one of the SAC planes used for Operation Looking Glass, and a visit to the Aerospace Museum. The course is planned for two semesters next year which will allow more study of aviation history and the space programs.

The Handy Persons Project is a nationwide ser- vice provided to the elderly by Catholic Social Concerns. It is entirely a volunteer force with the exception of local organizers wh.ose salaries are presently provided by the communities which they serve. Twice each year, students from St. Albert volun- teer to help with the project and are supervised by faculty members. This year's faculty super- visors were Fr.

It als.o gave the ladies in the sch.ool a chance to ask the guy of their choice to go to the dance and try out the music by Sweetfield. The band played special songs by such groups as Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, The Who, and finished with Kiss. The decorating of the cafeteria was done by the Sophom.ore class, who also organized the dance for the Juniors and Seniors. Some of the chaperones were the Sophom.ore mothers and fathers: Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, and Mr. and Mrs. Piers.on, Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady, and Mr. and Mrs. Rue. The sp.ons.ors .of the Sophom.ore class were Mrs. Anger.0th and Miss Brauch. Both agree that the dance was a cpmplete success. (fop left) ~ent Rallis and Nonna Leber boogie ~the Mus1c ofSw~tfield .

Since the first graduating c ass of 1966, the tradition of family has always run strong.at St. Albert. In the past few years, there have been many students that are children of St. Albert graduates. In the class of 1994 there are 12 students who have had one, or both of their parents, graduate from St. Albert. Through the years there have been many changes. When St. Albert first opened up, there were no co-ed classes, the girls were in what we now call the high school wing, and the boys were in the junior high wing. "The strictness of the rules has changed a lot since I was in school. The kids today get away with murder compared to what we got away with when I was in high school," said Mr. Heithoff, who graduated in 197 l. A lot of students fear the fact that people will expect a lot out of them because of whose child they are, but senior Katie Heithoff said, "I don' t think people really expect a lot out of me because both of my parents graduated so long ago. I don't think anyone will remember what they were like in school." Heithoff also said, "I think it's really neat that both of my parents graduated from St. Albert, and both my sister and I will also." Many things have changed here at St. Albert over the years, and many things have stayed the same. Although there have been a few things added to the building here and there, according to Mr. Heithoff, the schedule ha remained the same. Among the many things that have stayed the ame are the teachers. Junior high Engli h teacher, Mr. Gill, has been teaching here at St. Albert for 23 years, and Librarian, Mrs. Angeroth, has been teaching here for 22 yea rs. With every generation, the day of graduation has always been a day to look forward to. With a tear in his eye, Mr. Heithoff said, "As a parent, your child' graduation is one of those things that just sneaks up on you. I'm really proud I got the opportunity to graduate from St. Albert and J' m glad that Katie and Annie will get the opportunity to graduate from St. Albert as well." Above: St. Albert has changed in many ways, but SA in 1994 still looks a lot like it did when it was first built in 1963. SA had its first graduating class in 1966 but had its first graduating class to spend all four years at the SA building in 1968. Among the Generations Above: Mrs. Angeroth in 1974 .

Bottom Right: Mr. Gill pokes his head through a window to say "hello" to his 1973 Journalism class. Freshman Alex Estell takes a short break from his studies to grin for the camara. The Freshmen class itself not only noticed the changes of the school, but also the new environment as a high school students. 10 Changes come to St. Albert By Tom Hromadka Staff Writer As the year begins at St. Albert, there are people looking forward to the new season, and there are also those who think differently. Some new, noticable additions to St. Albert are the colorful lockers, and the newly carpeted Library and chapel.. Another attraction is new administration, Mrs. Wandersee is the new principal, and Mr. Jaworski is once again closer to the student body as assistant principal. The new year brings changes and new faces that will definitely help determine how the year will turn out for everyone. One of the most disappointing facts of the new year is the absence of the graduated seniors. Sophomore Matt Dinovo said, "I was angry because last years' seniors had a lot of good-looking girls, and I already miss them. " St. Albert does indeed miss them, but we're also glad they 're gone. A fear everyone faces on the first day of school is the question of transportation . Above: Sophomore Katie Hughes dreams of happier days in the summer, as Jordan Oder realizes school is unavoidable. Right: Senior Eric Fischer remembers he has left something on the stove as Mark Willms gets in the aim of the camara. Most of u drive. but there is always that car that the parents give that doesn't seem to want to wake up in the morning. Fortunately seni or Jeff Harringto n said, " the LTD is purring like a kitten." Unfortunatly, a week later the LTD was taken to the junkyard because of a bad carborator. The seniors always seem to enjoy the first day because of the rea li zation that the underclassmen are the irs. The thought of being abl e to tel I a freshmen to kiss their feet ends tingles down their spines. The seni ors will not have to kiss up to anyone, except the teachers, of course. As the year starts, everyone seems to hustl e around and question what the year is really going to be like. For the seniors, this is their last year here, and they better leave their mark. Senior Jeff Harrigton smiles as he puts his bags in his new colorful locker. The school lockers were all sanded and painted to help bring life to the academic wings. ----...,._ - -- Mrs. Angeroth lends a helping hand in the library as senior Megan McMullen looks on. This summer the library was painted to start the year off in style. Senior Kelly Walsh and her 7th grade buddy are pictured devouring small bowls of ice cream.

The Week of Weirdness By Shawn Jones Captious Editor It was to be a week of fun , festivities, and of cour. e, the homecoming of alumni. This year's Homecoming was everything it was expected to be. The week kicked off with P.J. Day. Students were looking good in their best morning attire and hair. Tuesday was a day of complete craziness. Students came dressed in the craziest outfits they could put together. Senior Gwen Gruber put a new twist in the craziness by wearing her school unifo rm. "What's crazier than wearing your uniform on a day that you don' t have to?" Above: Sophomore Toby Fischer and Freshman Charlie Narmi indulge themselves in applesauce, in honor of their class. asked Gruber. Wednesday was filJ ed with beautiful women and distinguished gentlemen as the students dre sed up for the Homecoming Mass. Everybody' favo rite day was Thursday, Disco Day. A day of hiphuggers, belJ bottom , and polyester leisure suits. The last day, Friday, was a day of spirit and cheer as the students wore green and gold to support their school and footbal l team. Homecoming is a time honored tradition that St. Albert students Jove. "It leaves me all warm and tingly inside, like when you wear pants fres hly out of the dryer," said senior Val Graeve. Above: Freshman Travis Lear and Paul Shannon clown around at the dance. Below: Wackiness even took over the faculty, Science teacher Julie Mooney poses with two juniors, Michala Haynie and Jenny Jones. -----Harvest Moon on the hill By Andy Murray Staff Writer Amidst tbe sound of children coming home and the football fans' cheers, students gathered to make high school memories under the Harvest Moon. The fall night was cold and cloudy, following tradition, but it made for a classic catillion. Freshman Jason Mathiasen said, "I had a lot of fun hitting on all the girls not having a date. Overall the dance was a barrel of laughs and monkeys." Freshman Charlie Graeve wans't nervou when he entered his first high school Homecoming Dance. Graeve said, "It was a laugh a minute!" This year new Homecornjng royalty wa crowned. St. Albert's fo rmer King Brendan Ryan and former Queen Amber Au. edemore presented the hallowed crowns to the new King, Tom Hromadka and Queen, Amy Davis. Hromadka said, "I thought I was going to drop the baU , but then I looked at (Shawn) Jones and fla bed my victory mile, I knew it was all right from there on." Davis said, "I wasn ' t nervous until I started walking in front of everyone." After bei ng crowmed, Davis said, "Unlike others I didn ' t have a first thought, my mind was a complete blank."

Above: Their Royal Majesties, Seniors Tom Hromadka and Amy Davis, relish the warmth of knowing that they were the chosen ones. SA: A Family Of Friends By Carrie McGruder Feature Editor "Friends are friends forever if the Lord 's the Lord of them, and a friend will not say never, 'cause the welcome ill not end . .. " These words, frequently sung here at St. Albert, are an indication of how important -- friendship is to each of us. Everyone has their own definition when it comes to the meaning of what a true friend really is. Sophomore Jason McGruder said, "A true friend is an honest person you can count on to stick by you through tough times." To most people honesty and trust are the key factors in a friendship. We rarely realize how lucky we are at St. Albert, everyone knows each other, and we're a lot like a family. Sometimes we take this for granted because a lot of us don 't know any different, but it truly is something to be thankful for. One of the most important aspects of friendship is being there for each other. Going through rough times is a lot easier when you have someone to lean on. These times tend to bring fri ends closer. "Having to deal with unusual circumstances together and having to pull together in a rough situation brings people closer. They have to really stick together and help each other out," said senior Gwen Gruber. A friendship is one of the most valuable possessions we can have. Just remember to take time out and realize how lucky you really are.

Outside School Doors By Jennifer Mathiasen Copy Editor It's easy to stereotype our classmate by what we see of them at school. Grades, sports, plays, and other school-related activities give insight into who we are. But what about our lives outside of school doors? There 's a lot more to people than what we see them doing during class or during sporting events. St. Albert is home to many students with a variety of colorful hobbies and talents that aren 't often appreciated or even known about. Senior Jill Konz indulges in the unique hobby of rockclimbing. "It's wile!, because when you get to the top and look over the edge you totally fo rget about how high up you are and what a death-defying activity you are doing, " Konz expressed. Senior Chris Wredt spends his free time racing street stock cars at the Shelby County Speedway. "It gives me something to do that not everyone else is doing,'' Wredt said. Hobbies serve many purposes. They are Right: Senior Jill Konz displays her skills as a rockclimber at a r ockclimbing gym in Fayetteville, Arkansas. a way to ex press yourself, relieve the stre from daily life, or are just a way to have fun . Junior Joe Hargens, who was on a pit crew for street stock cars, said, " It re lieve a lot of my stress, but it can be stressful at the same time. " " I like music to be really spontaneous. To sit down without any forethought and pl ay something, relaxes me,'' senior Gwen Gruber stated , referring to her talent of singing and pl ay ing the guitar. Senior Erin Fuchser has been drawing and painting since the sixth grade . " It's a quiet atmosphere where I can get involved in my work, I really like it, when I'm not too busy to get to do it,' ' Fuchser said. Activities outside of school are an escape for us to do what we enjoy, and are also a good way to find ourselves. Everyone would benefit from taking the time to learn about and appreciate each other's talents and hobbies, and maybe even try a few of their own. Below: Senior Gwen Gruber feels right at home while exhibiting her talent of playing the guitar in front of a captive audience. Gruber also sings and plays the guitar at many school masses. Above: Freshman Ken Graeve practices his talent of painting. Graeve spends about ten hours a week on painting and other forms of artwork. Above: Mr. Shorey shows off not only his stunning physique, but also the tall trophy he won for being the winner of the 1993 Fantasy Baseball League. The Fantasy Baseball League participants pick different players from several different baseball teams and keep track of their statistics. Whoever's team has the best statistics by the end of the season is the winner. Other St. Albert participants are Mr. Mehsling, Mr. Schreiber, Mr. West, a nd Mr. Wettengel. A look at current events: What happened in 1993? 22 First Lady Hillary Rodham Clintion chaired the White House Task force that devised the health security plan. Thousands of Midweste rn fa rms and homes were lost, fi elds we re swamped and towns were destroyed by flooding. Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri we re hit hardest, causing billions of dollars in damage. Pope John Paul II j oined 200,000 young people from a round the globe for World Youth Day in Denver. Russian President Boris Yeltsin dissolved parliament and announced new elections. Riots brokeo ays~fte rthe nnouncementand Yeltsin called in the army to restore peace. After being enemies for three decades, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization opened a new era in their blood-soaked history by recognizing each other's legitimacy. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabi n and the PLO chairman, Vasser Arafat, signed a treaty at the White House. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 60, became the second female Supreme Court Justice. She had previously been a lawyer for the ACLU Women's Rights Project in the 1970's. ' Leadi ng users of paper-based products took an environmental initiative and banded together to devise ways to increase the use of recycled paper and encourage their su1lpliers to use more environmentally sound methods to make paper products. In the battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement, there were three voices most heard. Ross Perot was the man most associated with being against N AFT A, saying it would take jobs from Americans. President Bill Clintion and Vice President Al Gore were for N AFT A, which they said would lower tariffs and hopefully encourage more trading between the countries in North America. In September the Bosnia Parliament rejected an international peace plan that would have ended the 18-month-old war that has partitioned the country into three ethnic states for Croats, Muslims, and Serbs.

Entering the 9th grade gave all of us the perception that we were moving up in the world, but we soon fo und out that we had a long way to go. lt might have been that bully senior who made the pety freshmen feel like dirt, or it could have been the fac t that in the lunchline, freshmen get no respect. As we learned to deal with the negati ves of being a freshman, we soon were able to reali ze that it wasn' t all that bad. As a freshman, one can now participate in school sponsored activities ranging from basketball to the fa ll play. All in all , being a freshman isn't too bad. Sure, they may take some slack from the older kjds, but it's a tradition that will continue fo r years to come in schools across the nation. Just think, when the current fres hmen are feniors, it'll start all over again.

Freshman Frenzy By Carrie McGruder Staff Writer When people think of fres hman, they often think of the kids who on the the first day of school, are seen with Trapper .£Seepers held tightly under their arms, the girls who have their skirts down to their knees, and the lcids who walk around the school repeating their locker combination out loud, while avoiding t e uppercalssmen at the same time. Although most people would laugh at this scenario, they must admit that at one time they were a freshman too. Freshman Nick Finken agrees that being in ninth grade gives a person an excuse to look stupid every once in awhile. "You don ' t have to feel stupid at dances standing against the wall, and waiting for your parents to pick you up the minute the dance is over, because freshmen are supposed to look stupid," Finken said. Of course the freshman year wouldn ' t be complete without cl asses that don ' t sound easy, like the Math, Reading, and Social Studies classes one took in junior high. Now freshmen get to move up into the wonderful world of Algebra, Speech, and World History. With fun new classes and delighting teachers, one almost wants to take a step back down to those great, do-nothing, junior high days. However, the positive aspects out number the negative ones by far. When entering high school, lcids are faced with more responsibility, and granted more privilages. For example, choosing which classes to take, having the feeling of actually being a part of the school, wearing different uniforms, and talcing part in varsity sports. "One of the bi ggest benefits of being in hgh school is that I'm now considered an ad ult by my parent ,"said Megan YanScoy. More than likely, the biggest benefit of being a freshman is knowing that in three years you' ll be a senior and ready to put on those caps and gowns. The freshman year of high school is one of the most important. It is the beginning of a whole new phase of life in which the true meaning of friendship is learned. He lping classmates through the good times as well as the bad. Coming together as a c lass allows someone to hold your hand and walk down the path for the next 3 years, before you must learn to walk it alone. Being a freshman is the beginning to a new li fe, and the beginning to new friendships you will have forever. Freshmen Annie Heithoff, Marc Peterson and Melissa Kroll took time out from their busy class load to smile for the camera. High school allows for students to make new friends and even get to know more of the upperclassmen. Playing sports and going to dances were ways to meet new people from your own school. Freshmen Josh Dixon and Chad Van Scoy spend some class time working together on a project. High school was a chance for freshmen to try out some new classes. J?reshman Amy Van Fossan actually had a minute to put down her study guide and say hi. For many freshmen, semester tests marked an important event - the year was half over.

The Sophomores really came together as a class at the Sophomore retreat. They illustrated that a class can become c lose enough to share things with anyone that normally would have been known to just a few. "It helps a lot to know you can talk to any one of my classmates instead of just a few," said Anna Ge1jev ic. The Sophomore class of 1993-94 didn't let this faze them and they learned to be useful in their own special ways. Although they aren't seen to be anything more than a taller freshman with a deeper voice, they really showed that they can be worth something. "I fe lt a lot more comfortable this year.

Years to remember By Kelly Hughes Layout Editor The ma in thing on the minds of the junior class is they only have one more year left of high school. The time is going fast and they want to make the best of it together. The things they like to do best are going to movies, go to parties, or just hang out somewhere they can all be together. Not everybody is always together, but as the time comes to an end they wi ll try to spend as much time together as they can. Junior Dan Doner said, "There isn't a whole lot of time left, but you can always make time to do things with your friends and classmates. You never know how long it will be until we see each other again after we all go off to coll ege." The junior class is making the best of their year now, because the junior year in high school is a great memory to have.

When juniors were asked what teacher they remember the mo t the an wers became quite obvious. The top five teachers the j unior cla s remembers the most are: Miss Welsh, because they made her cry; Mrs. Schreiner, because she gave them a twelve page report and they all cheated on it: Ml'S. Reef, because she always hit Tommy Hughes's hands when he put them on her desk in the reading center; Sr. Barbara Ring, because she alwa made Michala Haynie spell words in front of th class that she djdn't know how to spell: and last but not least the junior girl will never forget the one and only Mr. Wettengel. uniors stick together By Laura Scurlock Index Editor After going to school together fo r at least three years, members of the junior class are bound to have fo nd memories concerning the years they have spe.vt with one another. Chrissy Orwig remembers, .. . " when our class all pulled together for Drew and went to Mrs. Evers funeral. There was such a special spirit there." Of course not all of the memories concerning the junior class are serious. Some are just down right embarrassing. Wan·en Mohn recalls when he, " Brought roses to Michala Haynie in seventh grade and she didn 't even li ke me." Kori Nielsen said, "When Alicia and I were freshmen, we were runn ing down the hall, pushing each other, and some senior boys were corn ing down the hall. I sli pped and skidded on my knees and my skirt got tuck up arou nd my waist. J fl ashed them all." Josh Horner remembers, ... "wearing purple, high-water pants in sixth grade." That is probably not something one woul d forget. Over the past year the class of 1995 has gone through many changes, and experienced things whi ch have brought them closer together as a class. Memorie range from doing something tupid in front of upper classmeu to coming together to support a friend in a time of need.

Swank 45 Rembering the Past By Laura Scurlock Index Editor Growing up with one another since kindergarten creates a sense of famil y within a class. After spending the last twelve years together, the class of 1994 has a past fill ed with stories about growing up together. Who could forget the women's lib movement of sixth grade? The sixth grade girls fe lt "The P.E. teacher was a male chauvi nist. At the end of the year we bought him an apron and we all signed our names to it," remembers Jennifer Mathiasen. Sixth grade was a big year for movements. On one nice spring day at the end of recess, Bridget Boettcher and Gwen Gruber decided to protest by not going inside after recess, simply because it was such a nice day . The teacher didn't notice until the next class was half over. Most of the people that went to St. Albert in fourth grade will never forget the day beans and weiners were served. " I will never eat beans and weiners because Missy (Barton) threw them up all over the fl oor in fo urth grade, " said Kati e Heithoff. In first grade Jamie Goebel switched from Mr. Petramoli e's class into Sr. Barb's class. For most first graders, Mr. Petramo1 ie wasn't the favored teacher. "Mr. Petromoli e pulled my hair, but Sr. Barb said she would give me extra papers to play school with," remembers Jami e. Jill Konz was a new additi on to the St. Albert family in seventh grade. "My mom took me to Dennis Uniform to get my uniform. I cried all the way home. l thought it was the ugli est thing I had ever seen," said Jill. Through the years we have all grown and changed. The fri ends, the teachers, the laughs - we carry these bits of our past with us as we move toward the future.

Right now all we have is the present, and even this won't last forever. Memories are all we get to keep from high school, nothing we earn is ours to keep. We must relinquish all the trophies, titles, grades, and reputations on that final day when we' ll walk; turning our tassles to the side. The symbols of our accomplishments and our failures must be given back, but the memories are ours for a lifetime. Senior Arny Davis said, "My favorite memory of my senior year was being crowned Homecoming Queen." Most of For Today us don' t have memories as royal as Davis', but they are valued all the same. "I will always remember the time I spent with Fr. Bud and my best friends shortly before he left. We became very close, and the memory is bittersweet," said senior Laura Scurlock. Happy memories of our senior year are not the only ones that stay vivid in our mind. The freedom and the seniority do not come without responsibility and commitment. "Trying to hold down a full time job and school has been the hardest part about this year: ' said Jess Brown.

For senior Megan McMullen, losing a good fri end and classmate, Maria Kay, to another school, was a hard time fo r he r. 1994 will forever be a milestone in our history. Great memories like being the first St. Albert girls basketball team to make it to state, will be kept close to our hearts, as will the sad ones, such as Fr. Bud's farewell party. Making memories has been the essence of the year as seniors, as we write the final chapter in this yearbook of adolescent life. We all must leave St. Albert and make it a part of our past, but none of us can go without taking a piece of it into the future.

Heading for the Future Dreams of Gold By Shawn Jones They were th best of times. They were the worst of times. And now they will be the times only to be reflected on after we have graduated and taj<.en our first steps out into the "real" world. The future is now ours to take and mold into whatever our dreams may make it. Most of us have the dreams that will make the future something to look forward to. Whatever the dreams, whatever the goals, steps must be taken to achjeve them. Many of us will go off to college in hopes that it will better prepare us for the task of miling our dreams come true. "College is sometrung that you just can't do without these days. Unless of course, you're planning on marrying someone ri ch like my fu ture husband, Andy Murray, is going to be," said a sarcastic Val Graeve. Some have aspirations to be something very big. Erin Fuchser wishes one day to become a famous painter and take over the Bob Ross Show. Another big dreamer, Todd Simms, has the aspiration of being a priest or miling mjllions of dollars by designing and building new and improved Durangos. Having more than one vocation is a dream that a few have latched on to. Matt Clayton wishes to be a Park Ranger/Go-Go Dancer whjie hjs frie nd, Ryan Shea, ha the hopes of becoming a Fireman/Professional Streaker. Sti ll some have less ambitious goals. "I want to spend the rest of my life livi ng under the viaduct," said Mark Willms. It is fun to joke about where our fu tures may take us as we head off into the worl d, but soon they will be a bi g concern fo r all of us. Just remember as you go through life there are many paths to go by, and there is always time to change the road you're on. Above: Gwen Gruber and Danny Stock practice their musical talents.

NHS: Students stand out By Joe Stuhr Staff Writer National Honor Society was established to honor well-rounded students who also achi eve high academic standards. NHS members are expecfed to possess four qualities; service, leadership, character, and scholarship. A person is accepted on how well they display those qualities. This year NHS went through a major change. This year's sophomore class must achieve a 3.5 grade point average to be eligible, in comparison to the previous 3.25. Mark Mortensen, who previously would have been eligible for a nomination by the old mark, isn' t bitter. He said "There's no use in crying over spilt milk.

New people and ideas for Campus Ministry By: Dan Doner Staff Writer With Fr. Bud's depaiture, the Campus Mi nistry Program was given a completely new task, becoming famili ai· with new faces and new ideas. John O'Brien the new head of the Campus Mi nistry program, said the first task is getting to know everyone indi viduall y. "Getting to know a large number of tudents on an indi vidual basis is something new for me," he expressed. The group of approximate ly 27 students is given a task each season to find a theme that they intend to follow. This is difficult while getting to know each other. "Establishing a theme whil e understanding new people and their ideas is tough to do," said O'Brien. The program did conti nue a usual, planning and coord inating the many masses and the Reconciliation services that ex ist during every Easter Season. O'Brien wants to let the youth be as involved as possible. "The Campus Min istry Program should be by the youth, with the yo uth, and fo r the yo uth ," he said. Some students fee l that there is a long way to go. "I don 't fee l the students are involved enough in the masses," said senior Jill Konz " and that's too bad." "The kids should be most involved in the masses as long as they are there to celebrate life," said O' Brien, "and they learn to be a group and be comfortable with each other." O' Brien was pleased with his we lcome and is pleased with the program. "I have received a good we lcome and e verything is going well. " 58 Then and Now: Fr.

Journalism: The p~ople that make it happen By Tim Howarth Staff Writer 'Time, hardwork, and dedication are three of the mo t important factors in putting out the yearbook,'' Editor Jill Konz stated. Every year around 20 students sign up for Journalism, little do they know how much time is needed to produce the yearbook and newspaper. Dimensions is started every year in August and is not finished until late June, monopoli zing an entire ten months full of hardwork and dedi cation . The Acc ipiter is a different story. The newspaper is published quarterl y with anywhere from seven to ten days to complete. For both the newspaper and the yearbook, students in Journalism JI must assign stories to Journalism I students. Journalism Jl students must also place these stories in the layout on the computer after they have edi ted them and made any changes. Journal ism I students spend most of the school year learni ng the necessities fo r Jo urnalism II. These necessities include learning to write stori es and pi cking out pictures, learning how to develop and pri nt pictures, and learning how to take pictures. Journalism I students write most of the stories seen in the Accipiter while students in Journalism II write the majority of the stories in Dimensions. As shown above, Journal ism takes a lot of time, hard work, dedi cation, and pati ence. It's these fo ur things whi ch make Dimensions and the Accipiter successfu l. 60 Organizations ....

SA Students: Reading For Fun By Missy Salyers Staff Writer What is the Dead Authors Society ? Many people at St. Albert are asking that very question . Reduced to a simple definition, it is a group of students interested in reading the classics. The group read classic books and then crot tocrether to discuss them. There are six 0 0 to seven people involved in the group at one time. Seniors Laura Scurlock, Gwen Gruber, Bridget Boettcher, and Megan McMullen, sophomore Ben Koch, and freshman Andrew Regan, are some students who are involved. Club leader Mrs. Angeroth said, "Our goal is to encourage people to read a variety of literature." One of the reasons the society is so successful is because the students want to be able to read a wider variety of books than they would normally be exposed to in the classroom. They have just finished reading the book The Three Musketeers. They have also read Slaughter House 5, The Killing of Roger Ackoren, and The Grapes of Wrath. Dead Authors Society is full of lively students who possess the desire to enhance their education, and is a great addition to St. Albert.

Music Dept. perf orllls their winning tunes By: Alicia Sanchez Staff Writer SA has the tendency to be su essful in their extra-curricular activities, whether the activity be basketball, football, or the growing music department and their achievments. This 1993-94 school year the choir has participated in the small group contest in Missouri Valley. Like last school year their performance concluded successfully . "Performing in the small group contest is fun," exclaimed junior and choir member, Jana Wineinger. "It gives you the opportunity to perform before a panel of judges." Senior Tracy Minor believes that singing at the small group contest grants the choir, as a group, a tremendous opportunity, as Wineinger believes, but also developes the individual singer. As a group, the choir has also taken part in performing at the St. Albert Christmas Concert on Dec. 18. Besides the Christmas Concert, the choir performed at the All-City Music Festival on Feb. 9. The St. Albert band has also accomplished a great deal as the year comes to an end.

Freshman band member Chris Fennell, fee ls that "playing in honor bands is fu n because you are performing with talented musicians". These fo ur SA band students were also chosen to play their instruments at UNO with other talented students from the area on Feb. 13 . The band also participated in the Christmas Concert with the choi r. Although the music department has 66 not always bad large numbers in members they continue to achieve a great deal.

By Amy Patte.!1 Staff Writer The performance of "Hoop!" foreshadowed the prosperous seasons of both the girls and boys basketball teams. However, the name of the fall musical was deceiving. "On the surface the theme dealt with high school basketball," said Mr. Wilson, theater director. "Underneath, it dealt with students growing up." The road to being an adult isn't easy. "Hoop!" addressed many of the probelms that face teenagers of today, such as cheating, teenage love and making decisions. Senior Bridget Boettcher expressed, "The dec ions the characters had to make reflected a Jot of what's going on at St. Albert. " Mr. Wilson hoped his cast would read between the lines and learn that choices must be made that will have positive effects. Senior Carolyn Wulff learned, "You have to make your own decisions based on what you think is right." The cast rehearsed after school as 3:30 for two months. A cast member didn't make grades, so senior Casey Sautter was recruited with only two weeks left to rehearse before the performance date. "I enjoyed being in the play even though I didn't feel I had rehearsed enough ," said Sautter. "Hoop!" was performed the afternoon of November I 0 for the junior high. The general public viewed "Hoop!" November 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Looking back on "Hoop!", Mr. Wilson said, "The play addressed a lot of significant issues that affect high school students. It dealt with real life situations like honesty and owning up to your mistakes. I was pleased with the production. " 68 Below: Kate Hobbins and John Wulff patiently wait for their cue to go on stage.

''Present Tense'': On to Superstate By Amy Patten Staff Writer The arrival of a person's teenage years seems to awaken the romantic side in most people. In "Present Tense", St. Albert's oneact play, a young man feels insecure as he encounters the opposite sex. Mr. Wilson, theater director, cho e "Present Tense" because of its freshness and uniqueness. Having previously worked with the play in another school, he knew this was "a winning script." The cast pe1formed at Districts and received a "one" rating from the single critical judge. This success provided them with the honor of attending state competition. At State, the cast received a "one" rating from each of the three judges. However, even perfect scores at State don't guarantee a tJip to Superstate. Days were spent waiting for an invitation to Superstate. Finally, a letter came inviting them to perform. Mixed emotions were fe lt as they prepared for the competition. "'Present Tense' was definitely one of the highlights of my senior year and the overnight tJip to Superstate was an experience I'll never forget!" said senior Jennifer Mathiasen. Rachel Stuhr, Melissa Barton and Danny Stock huddle together at Superstate for a quick snapshot. Spring Play 1994 As the Curtain Rises By Jennifer Mathiasen Copy Editor Traditionally, the spring play at St. Albert consist of a large group of people performing a serious play, usually not a musical, and devoting hours upon hours of hard work, to that end. "Planting in the Dust" and "Stephen Vincent Benet's Stories of America," the two selections being performed at thjs year's production, are very untraditional. Although hours of hard work were devoted to its success, the similarities end there. "Stories of America" is performed in the style utilized by Reader's Theater groups. This makes for a very unique evening. Freshman Lindsay Williams acts as the focal point in "Planting in the Dust" and cast members of "Stephen Vincent Benet's Stories of America" include freshman Gina Roane, juniors, Chrissy Orwig and Jenn y Jones, and senior Tracy Minor. Drama director, Mr. Wilson, also had a unique motivation for choosi ng the combination. "Joan Gubbels (senior, Josh Gubbels mom,) had seen 'Planting' performed for a National Gathering of CathoJjc Women and she was so taken by it that she longed to see it performed again. Lindsay did one performance for a group here in Iowa, and I thought it was too bad that all the preparation was only for one night," said Wilson. " ... and "Stories of America" had been staring me in the face for a long time, I decided that maybe this was the time to use it," he finished. "Planting in the Dust" deals with American farmers during the late twentieth century, and is not only a one-act play, but also a one woman play. "Stories of America" highlights the development of America throughout time. Both selections possess the underlying theme of agony over "what has been lost, and what must be found aga in ," reflected Mr. Wilson. This original presentation did an excellent job of informjng people about the pl ight our nation 's farmer , both past and present, and also remini ced about our nation 's early years. It was performed at 7:30 p.m. on May 6th and 7th in the St. Albert auditorium.

CHEERLEADING Ove~flow of spirit By Jennifer Mathiasen- Copy Editor "Who's the school that we all know, g S.A., go S.A. , go, we've got spirit so let it show!" Spirit is certainly something that a successful squad of cheerleaders need, and something that the St. Albert cheerleaders possess in abundance. The 1993-94 squad was a dedicated, hardworking group. Their duti es were many in number, ranging from the making of signs for lockers, to working in the concession stand after school. They also took on various tasks such as the selling and creating of Valentines and of course, cheering at aJI foo tball and basketball games and wrestling meets. "The cheerleaders spend numerous hours practicing and working in the concession stand everyday and still they have time to be sweet Valentine cupids. I thank them for their dedication," exclaimed sponsor Ms.McGuire. As much hard work as it requires, cheerleading is also a lot of fun. A large part of the fun was experi enced at the NCA Summer Camp they attended at Lake Okoboji . "Camp was a learning experience that was full of hard work, but also fun ... another thing that is fun , but one of our biggest challenges, too, is getting the crowd involved," said seni or Angie Spitznagle. The cheerleaders of St. Albert are not just spiritleaders, they are also positi ve role models for younger students, as well as be ing impressive reflections of St. Albert as a whole. "J think the younger children have a lot of fun doing cheers, playing with our porn and helping in the crowd," said senior Amy Spitznagle.

By Jes Welsh ·- Staff writer " 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and 8! " The 1993-94 St. Albert girls Porn Pon squad performed many energetic dances for the fans of basketball and football games this year. The 16 member squad attributes a majority of their success to the Porn Pon camp held at Lake Okaboji. Sophomore Christie Burke said, "It taught us to perform, not just to dance." Sophomore Allison Arnold echoed her in saying, "Camp taught us good techniques and how not to be afraid of a crowd." The squad had many goals. Senior Carolyn Wulff, a three year member, andone of this year's captains said, "Our goals were to get along and to include everyone in the major decisions. We didn 't want to leave anyone out." Another exciting aspect thjs year was the annual Aloha Bowl held in Hawaii . Seniors Carrie McGruder, Carolyn Wulff, and Jennifer Mathiasen were all chosen to attend and perform during the half-time routine. McGruder and Wulff attended and said, "We had the time of our lives! " This year there were six sophomores who made the 93-94 Porn Pon squad. Arnold said, ·'Jn the beginning, I think they underestimated us, but in the end we were pretty much all treated equally." The routines are energetic, colorfu l, and most of all , practiced. Wulff said, " They get into partners, pick out their own music, make up the routine and then they teach it to everyone else. We really learned a lot from camp." Something sure paid off, because the girls had a great year, and from the looks of it, good times will be had in the years ahead.

Injured senior Dan Stock said, "It was disappointing as a senior to not be running as well, because if I would have run aga inst myself last year, I would have lost. ., Not only did the Falcons deal with injuries, they we re also under pressure to defend their state championship. Coach Shorey said, "This i n 't the same team we had last year, so we are only dealing with the nonnal pressures of the state meet. ' One of the most surprising fac tors this year was freshman Joe Kuehl. Senior leader Shawn Jones said, "He wa a good runner, but he told stupid jokes: we accepted him anyway. " Junior Dan Doner and Sophomore Tim MuITay were also factors in pulling up a strong 5th and 6th man to the fi nish line. The Falcons have been in the state meet fo r five straight years. This year was no exception, it was fu ll of excitement and traditional Falcon cross-country pride.

The Falcons finished with a 4-5 record and just missed the playoffs. focus on the things ahead rather than the things behind them. They never dwelled on past games. They just kept thinking of all the ways they could do better to improve themselves. Opponent The goals fo r the Falcons were to work hard, stay together, and remain focused on their jobs at all times. The team accomplished this most of the time, but as Coach Scichilone said, "Our biggest problem was turnovers and penalties at the most inopportune times." Along with that, senior Brad Krohn said," We could have eliminated our mental mistakes to do better." During some of the bad times the Falcons attempted to Doing just that, the Falcons came back together and pulled off a couple more victories to end a memorable and respectable season. Senior Jeff Hanington said, " I am happy with the season, because I feel everybody always gave 100% and nobody gave up." The Falcons are all proud of what they accomplished for the season. Now the underclassmen are ready to come back next season and take control., but are surely going to miss the seniors. TJ 28 Flanagan 21 Shenandoah 0 Audubon 30 Mo.

Pinning down some experience: Young Falcon grapplers make their marko By Shawn Jones "We don't rebuild, we reload. " That is how coach Litner described his 1993-94 wrestling team and that is exactly what they did. Having only one senior on the team allowed many of the younger grapplers to get "well deserved xperience," as Litner puts it. Being so young, the team was ' t the powerhouse they hoped to be, but instead they turned in some great individual pe1formances. Johnny Burg, the only senior, stepped up to fill the role as leader to the younger members. "He really pushed us, but he was so big, we couldn 't push him back," said sophomore Toby Fisher. Burg didn' t receive all the wrestling honors of a champion, but he is well praised fo r his devotion and his integrity. Fisher was one of the big contributers to the team. Although he joined late in the season, he still wrestled hard and made his presence felt throughout the entire state. "He's tough and he ' ll go a long way," aid Burg. Fisher was the on ly Falcon wrestler to qualify for the state tournament. Another big wrestl er was sophomore Mark Mortensen. Returning after a great freshman year, he continued ro lay his opponents on their backs and have them crying fo r mercy. " It's a rea l achi evement to be such a great wrestler and be a twotime conference champion in as many years," said Litner. A score of other Falcon wresrlers had their own shinning moments as we ll. For being as young as they were, they had some great achi evements. They look forward to next year, where, with the experience they have received, they will be a force to reckon with. Fisher said it best with his exclamation, "Watch out next year. On to STATE!

It begins with three hour practices and ends with a great winning season. The Falcons started practicing in mid-November to prepare for their tough season ahead. Being hot, sweaty, and in a gym for three hours doing the "dirty thirty" wasn' t what the players called a great time, but they were all willing to do whatever it took to get ready for regular season play. Junior Scott Sanson said," At times practices got almost too long and the conditioning got old, but it was well worth the time." December came around and the Falcons kicked off the season with Missouri Valley. They beat them on the Reds' home court and after that the rest of December was smooth sailing. January hit and the Falcons hit a loll and lost focus. They lost to Columbus Scotus and then to Roncalli in the Centennial Conference Tournament. However, this wasn 't about to stop them. February arrived and they progressed more as the days went by. Coach Wettengel said, "Everybody got scattered in January because of the long season." After knocking off some great competitors throughout the season the Falcons were ready to take control as tournament time approached. Wettengel also said, "Our regular season schedule really prepares us for tournament time, because we play nine schools bigger than us." Due to all of the hard work and dedication the Falcons have put in this year, they came home with another runner-up title and trophy to show their excellence.

Here, they worked on all of their shots and on their technique. They would practice after school under the supervision of their coach of three years, Judy Krohn . These practices are what would prepare them fo r their spring golf meets in whi ch they hoped to prove just how good they were. Three members of the team placed in the top ten at the City Meet. These members included: freshman, Holly Swanek; junior, Jill Gaspard: and enior, Rachel Stuhr. Stuhr doesn't plan on pursuing her golf trokes and talent through coll ege but says. "Everyone showed lots of improvement and by the city meet everyone just cli cked and turned in their best score · of the year." Swanek stated, " I had a lot of fun playing agai nst senior and kicking their butts, and I'm only a fres hman. " All in all, the girls' golf team had a splendid season from getting to know each other a little better to improvi ng those scores. One thing the girls will never fo rget, when it comes to pl aying golf, patience is a virtue.

Falcons shoot for success in state Varsity Highlights 2nd Place --City Tournament 3rd Place --Audubon Invit. 3rd Place --Sectionals lsr Place -Conference By Tom Hromadka Staff Writer The Falcon golf team has been striking it up on a ll of the fa irways in Southwest Iowa. With all of the starters returning from last year, state was on everyone's mind. Senior standout Brad Krohn, found early success in city and distri ct meets, carrying the Falcons to top plac ings. Individually, Krohn's highlights include placing 1st at Audubon and 3rd and the T.J. invitational. Although very talented, natural ability is highly over-rated. He and the rest of the team have spent numerous hours at driving ranges and putting greens to improve their game. Krohn stated, "Unlike other sports, we show more gentl emen qualities whi ch will in turn guide us through life." Krohn, along with his other teammates, have made a declaration to the state that they're not playing arou nd anymore. Junior Pat Malone has made his name known in the city for his long drives and loud mouth . (His saying, "Drive for show. put for dough ... In my game, it's all show." ) Teammate and first year golfer, Tonuny Hughes, fo und that he has only been increasing his score since Coach Heithoff required him to start keeping his real score. Both golfers have been looking ahead to prove that they can hang with the big boys. Even though the team hasn't had any I st or 2nd place finis hes, there is still time to bring it all together. But as fo r individual action, the Falcons won' t back down to anyone. The 1994 Falcon golf team: Top row: Mike Hoy, Tommy Hughes, Jason Ronfeldt, Brad Krohn, Pat Malone.

The girls soccer team is back and better than ever, only losing five seniors. This years seniors are ready to go into battle. The Saintes ha e taken that halo off their head and are ready to kick so , e. butt. While seniors Amy Davis, Kelly Hughes, Michelle Kroll are making the goals, seniors Erin Fuscher, Jess Brown, and Kati e Heithoff are stopping them. There are three people who are making this all happen, the head coach, Randy Salyers, and the two assistant coaches Mike Hayni e and Chris Hughes. These three have lead the Saintes to an earl y impressive winning record of 13-2 and the season isn' t over yet. The whole team is pretty confi dent especially Fuchser, who said, "All I know is that we are city champs now for two years in a row." Heithoff said, " How many seniors can wa lk away and say we are 6-0 in tournament play." Brown said, "They might as we ll call me the 'Terminator' since I fin ish anybody that tri es to get past me." When Davi. was asked, she wanted to be refe rred to as "Pele". There are diffe rent leaders and coaches for diffe rent teams. Juniors Melissa Salyers, Ali cia Sanchez, freshman Me lissa Kroll , and sophomore Katherine Fische r are showing some leadership of their own with the help from junior varsity coaches, Mike Hayni e and Chris Hughes. The J.Y. has onl y lost once. With the great leader it seems that they will keep it that way. The J.Y. and Varsity Saintes have already shown that they are a great team. By looking at the scores to the right, it is evident that the Saintes had a successful season. Prospects are looking hi gh for nex t year. 1994 Saintes Left to right, back row: Jordan Oder, Michelle Kroll, Koleen Lan~ial, Jess Andersen, Lindy Andersen, Melissa Kroll, Allison Arnold, Amy VanFossan.

The boys soccer team started the season with new coaches making the calls. The boys soccer squad picked up Dennis Shea as their new head coach. He made the transition to a high-school career after experience in coaching club soccer. Shea brought along with him assistant coaches Jim O' r·en and Jeff Rindone. The coaches didn ' t have the trouble of rebuilding a new program due to the quality of players all ready at St. Albert. The boys were lead by seniors Ryan Shea, Mark Willms, and Tony Mauer, three returning powerhouses. The senior trio got help from overseas from Xavier Perez, a tough and talented player. Also, sophomore goalie, Toby Fisher, made more than his share of great saves, if the ball ever got past sweeper Marty Hughes. Sophomore Kelly Thomas along with freshmen Nick Finken, Charlie Narmi , Ryan Haynie, and Ryan Stuntz, hammered home some well needed plays as well. Many varsity players had to moonlight on the J.V. team due to a shortage of members, but they had some impressive performances. Some of the big J.V. stars were freshmen Joe French, John Cooper, Matt Headl ey, Nick Crampton, Chris Fennell, sophomore Eri c Jancek, and juniors Cliff Negrete, Joe Stuhr, and Jason Killion Many of the squad 's games were very closely contested and many games were forced to a shootout. Most of the shootouts went for the Falcons, but a few went the other way. They beat a tough Omaha Central te am in shootout fashion by scoring four goal. in the overtime, but they were also upset by one goal in a double-shootout by Scotus. They also had their share of blowing teams off the field as they did with Gretna and Pl atteview. The remainder of their games were decided 1994 Falcon Soccer Team: Back Row (left to right): Managers Kristy Meyer and Jenny O'Donnell, Scott Sanson, Charlie Narmi, Dan Busch, Xavier Perez, Chris Eckrich, Ryan Stuntz, John Kuper, Asst.

The team, although potenti all y great, had its problem . Many players were sidelined due to school disciplin ary reasons and red cards that were pi cked up during the season. This gave them sort of a reputation of being the " bad boys" of soccer and put a damper on the team 's success. Hughes commented on the prob lem saying, " lt hurt us in some of the big games. Plattsmouth bombed us because we were short key playe rs clue to reel cards. " Despite all the problems, the socce r team prevailed and came out of the sea on with reason to hold their heads high.

To perfect their swings, S.A. girl tennis players fa ithfully practi ced everyday after school. Practices were held at Sunset Park due to the condition of S.A. courts. The practices consisted of serving, sc rimmaging, and pe1forming numerous dri lls. All in all , they were not held in vain. The hard work paid off by the end of the season. Practices were held under the watchful eye of their coach, Doug Rew. Rew was a newcomer on the coaching fro nt. His goal fo r the team was "to improve on last year's record." He later commented that "this year's record doesn't indicate the team's overall talent." Senior Angie Spitznagle had a personal goal to "work on my overall atti tude towards tennis." She said, "You can' t always win, but then you can' t always get down on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes." The thrill of fee ling the crunch as the ball hits the strings may be the reason that one plays tennis, but Jodie Friedri chsen plays for the pure thrill of the game. The tennis team did improve on last year's record and there are higher expectations for next year.

By Jes Welsh Staff Writer "On your mark, get set, go!" And that's exactly what the 1993-94 girls track team did. On February 14, the Sai ntes started their grueling season of hope. Sophomore Lindy Andersen said, "The workouts were hard," but obviously worthwhile. The Saintes sent senior Carrie McGruder to state with pride and encouragement. McGruder qualified for state at districts in the 400 hurdles with the time of 69. 1 seconds. McGruder gives the credit of the team's success to Coach Shorey, "At times, he's really hard on us, but he knows what we can do better than we do." Junior Michala Haynie was a bit disappointed in the outcome of those going to state. " I thought we'd take more to state. The girls that missed the cutoff by one or two seconds ran very hard and gave it their best shot. " The senior girls were a big part of the undercl assmen's encouragement. The four seniors included JiU Konz, Carrie McGruder. Carolyn Wulff, and Val Graeve. Hayni e said, "The seniors were the ones that led us this year, and they wi ll be missed." Even though the seniors won' t be back next year, the girls track team will still be able to carry themselves to victory. McGruder said, "There is a lot of potential on the team, and there is team unity." Team unity and great talent are what will lead the girls n·ack team to continue their victory next year.

By Casey Sautter Staff Writer Tradition and St. Albert are two words that seem to go hand in hand, and perhaps the greatest traditi on at SA today is that of the cross country teams. The boys' team has made it to state fo r the past five years, and the girls have parti cipated for an astonishing 11 straight years. Coming off a state title in '92, the boys had yet another bl ockbuster state pe1formance this year. Led by Xavier Perez, a fo reign exchange student from Barcelona, the boys finished an impressive sixth this year. Perez finished 2 1st in the indiv idua l rankings and will return to Spain wi th positi ve memories of the United States. Andy Murray, who ran at state three of hi fo ur high schoo l yea rs, said that he didn 't reel very good going into the state meet this yea r. " I was injured most of the sea on th is year, and d idn' t fee l I could run my best,' Murray sa id. After fi nishing third in '92, the girls were back aga in and fi nished a remarkab le seventh this yea r.

Individual State: A Step Above the Rest by Sar~ Kruse Staff Writer Throughout the duration of the year, the athletes always keep one goal in mind - qualifying for state. And only the very best, the elite, make it that far. So far this year, there have been only a few individual state qualifiers. r1 all began with Toby Fisher in wrestling. He started halfway through the wrestling season, and still made it. Fisher had to wrestle six different people and only lost two times, to qualify for his first state birth. At state, Fisher wrestled a total of three times. He lost his first match, won his second match, then lost once again to the eventual runner-up. Next in line is Carrie McGruder. McGruder was the only member of the girls track team to qualify for state. She qualified in the 400 yard hurdles with a time of 69. l seconds. Not only was she an individual state qualifier, she is the only girl in the history of St. Albert to qualify in this event. One ofMcGruder's goals was to place second in the finals of the 400 yard hurdles, and her one major goal is to break the school record in her event. On to boys tennis. The entire boys tennis team qualified for substate. But two players are definitely heading for the state meet. Tony Reinhardt and Ryan Myers qualified for state for the first time in doubles tennis. "Our goal at state is to place in the top eight," said junior Tony Reinhardt. "We have nothing to lose and everything to gain ," added teammate and fellow junior Ryan Myers. The team was very happy, and extremely surprised with their substate birth. All in all it has been a good year for the athletes at SA.

By Tom Hromadka Staff Writer The 1993-94 Saintes had a lot to be proud of after qualifying to represent St. Albert in the first 2A tournament in the state's history. After breezing through districts and substate, the Saintes went on to state, but went home from the tournament earlier than expected. Senior forward, Amy Davis said, "We have accomplished a lot of positive things this year. Even though we ended on a rough note, I know that we can be proud because most teams didn ' t even make it there." The Saintes lost to an excellent team from Hartley-Melvin-Sandborn . H-M-S later lost to Solon, who won the title. Senior Kati e Heithoff said, "Even on a good day, I don' t think that we would of beat them. "' She later said, "It wa fun fo r everyone. I'm just glad that I had the opportunity to play there. " Through the season. the players have et their minds on the state championship. So they have a right to be a little disappoi nted. But as they say ... winning isn ' t everything. but it's sometimes nice. The tournament isn't made fo r the so-so teams, it's designed to let the best play the best, and that is why the Saintes were invited. They are one of the most talented teams to come from this great program at St. Albert. Kelly Hughes is caught playing her usual 'hard-nose' defense. The Saintes as a team were known for their hustling defense and deadly fast break which was finished with easy layups. Amy Davis, Katie Heithoff, Kelly Hughes, and Sharon Whetstone come out ready to give it their aJI. LAST LOOK Far Right: Tony Mauer and Erin Fuchser are named '94 Prom King and Queen.

Prom Night and all the preparations to make it a perfect evening are discussed as early as March. The first thing on every girls mind is their dress. Renting the tux, buying the fl owers, making reservations, and possibly renting a limo are prominent concerns the guys deal with. The juniors have the task of decorating the gym for Prom along with getting themselves ready. The juniors decorated according to the theme of "Almo t Paradise."

"Erin is my best memory of high school," Mauer and Fuscher were crowned King and Queen. Many people took pictures throughout the evening to capture al l the memories. As senior Andy MuITay said, "lt will be a memory we wi ll never forget." 129 The class of 1994: One Last Day By Joe Stuhr Staff Writer This day started out just like any other. The birds were singing the bees buzzing and the flowers blooming. However this was not just anyother day, for a special few , the seniors of St. Albert, this was the end of education as they know it. The last day was eventful as always. The seniors were in a mad rush to get signed out. The teachers were in a mad rush to sign them out. The rest of the student body viewed the spectacle as envious as ever. Another common sight on the senior's last day is the waterfight . Every year the seniors roundup balloons, water guns or anything else they could use to douse their classmates. This year was no exception. According to the school's administration the waterfight is just good clean fun and that is just what was had clean fun. However this year's was not your preverbial last day. A normal sight at St. Albert for the last week of school has always been senior girls with shredded skirts. Due to the Administration's decision to collect the skirts that did not happen this year. The girls turned their skirts in for one week of out of uniform. However, as is usually the case there was conflict. The senior guys were up in arms in what they felt was an unfair decision. They felt that if the girls got out of uniform for turning in their uniform, they should be able to turn in part of their attire for a week of grubs. Senior Josh Gubbels assurred his undercl assmen that he was not just looking out for himself but for all of the of the seniors of the future. Below: Senior Jason Epperson heads to his car to retrieve a balloon to abuse more classmates.

The beginning of the end for the class of '94 By Tim Howarth and Missy Sakyers Staff Writers As the school year wound down and the summer drew nearer, the seniors readied themselves for life as adults. The future is closer than ever for the 53 determined seniors as they neared the end of their final high school year. May 29th brought an end to high school, and the beginning of reality. The ' 94 class motto, "We always knew we would look back at yesterday 's tears with laughte r, but we didn ' t know we would look back at yesterday 's laughter with tears," best described this years' graduates. Class President Brandon O'Neill opened the ceremony and Vice President Josh Gubbels presented the prayer. All tlu-ee valedictorians, Shawn Jones, Jennifer Mathiasen and Gwen Gruber, also had a few moments of speaki ng time at the graduation. In his homily at senior mass Father Bud Grant talked about what people will be like at their ten year reunion. Some of these predictions are a purple haired Casey Sautter and Josh Gubbels as the next president of the United States. Seniors Jason Epperson, Andy Murray, Tom Hromadka, Jess Brown, and Amy Davis take time out for a quick picture at the senior dinner. Father Bud congratulates Brandon O'Neill as Josh Gubbels and Casey Sautter look on. Ms. McGuire summed things up by saying, "I think I will remember the clas of '94 as quiet people who got things done. They were always there for me when I needed help." Kate Hobbins stated, "The class of '94 will simply be remembered as the best class to come out of St. Albert." Graduation brought an end to high school fo r the fifty three seniors and brought about the beginning of co llege life and living in the real world. Father Bud and Miss McGuire go overthe last minute details for the graduation rehearsal 133 Our Final Stand By Jill Konz Managing Editor As seniors we now stand at the top of the hill, with the sun and wind on our faces, and our successors to our backs. We share the perfect view of the treetops, the blue sky, the past, and the future. This one shining moment is not eternal, soon we must travel back down to the bottom, in faith that we will soon rise again. The hills we dare to climb are different, and the terrain we will climb alone. Each stone will be a new obstacle, each blade of grass will soften ou tep. Along the way we will become stronger, and eventually the climbing will become easier. There will be new hikers who will learn to climb with us, and we shall become a part of a new team. Eventually we will climb to a new summit, with the same sun, wind, blue sky, and treetops, but a new view. We have faith in our experience of climbing our first hill together, and someday we shall climb again. Above: Chris Wredt all smiles, takes the pause that refreshes. Right: Shawn Jones and Carrie McGruder share a friendly moment at a track meet. Jones is always eager to try out one of his stupid torture tricks ... maybe he should join the circus or something. 134 'E,ven tfie cfeatfi of friendS wiff inspire us as mucfi as tfieir fives ...

During this brief interval the school has been molded into something which commands respect and admiration. A new school has much color and excitement. For us, it is an opportunity to idealize the kind of education that is essential to our future. What a challenge it is; but what benefits it will reap for us and for future generations! Certainly all of this is a very unique experience, but what is most important is that we are the developing assests of this new school. It will be our privilege to reminisce and appreciate the great role that we played in building the b~ckbone and setting the traditions of this education institution. Viewing these things in all its dimensions, we must realize our responsibility to accept and maintain these standards. So, in this, our first edition of DIMENSIONS, we make our attempt to set the pace for the coming years by showing that through our eyes the world of Saint Albert the Great Central Catholic High School is truly a great place. t" ND FACULT I I Q ' \ [ - HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MOST REVEREND GEORGE J. BISKUP, D. D. BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF DES MOINES 4 THE REVEREND DANIEL L. DELEHANT, PRINCIPAL A Message from Father Delehant Beginnings are often difficult for we do not have the experience of the past upon which to rely. However, the dimensions to which St. Albert High School has advanced in the few short years of its existence, shows that with cooperation and energetic work, those handicaps can be successfully overcome. I am sure that God will continue to bless the school with success so that its foundation will be firm and strong and capable of withstanding future attacks. 5 6 In Memoriam Robert A. Johnson, Jr. On November 18, 1966, Robert A, Jolmson, Jr., became the first student of Saint Albert High School to enter eternity. He left a family and a school whose affection and respect for him will endure in the memory throughout the years. Fifteen years is not a long life; yet it was destined to be a complete one for Robert. His earthly success was measured by his efforts as a student, by his efforts as a member of a family. His death was destined to be profound in its effect for his associates--the young to whom death seems so remote. May Robert's reminder of eternity be as enduring as our memory of him.

DELEHANT And for Dan that time for living was not long. Yet in that brief season, he began a search: he began to look into himself to discover just what kind of a person he was meant to be. Dan, like many of us, was a seeker. And perhaps he had still to fully understand that "No matter if you're born to play the king or pawn, for the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow ••• you must be what you must be and face tomorrow." For us who are likewise on our quest, Dan should be a sign - a reminder. To those who seek, . to those who struggle in the darkness, Christ brings His light. Our strength, our courage, our hope of discovery comes from Him. "Seek and you shall find." 6 ND ELEHANT PRINCIPAL Father Paul Monahan, dean of boys, gives Sister Mary Catherine, dean of girls, the word. Mr. Patrick Ryan addresses one of his English classes.

Seniors can "now" laugh at the stunts and mistakes characterizing their underclassman years, and all the fun which was such a great part of their life at St. Albert. Crying can signify either sorrow or happiness. There is an aura of sadness about Senior year in the realization that this year brings to an end this phase of our life. Yet there is a joy in knowing that even bigger and better things are to come for all.

HIGH SCHOOL Council Bluffs, Iowa 3 4 b Foreword HIGH SCHOOL - the springboard for our development into mature, responsible persons - the leaders of tomorrow's world. The transition into adulthood is often a complicated, difficult, and even painful process. The expansion of our characters, minds, and bodies requires a determination on each individual's part. Even more important, it takes a dedication along with this determination to realize genuine success. Whether it be the athlete on the practice field, or the student in the classroom, it is their dedication to a goal that achieves for them a real and meaningful reward. In a sense, one might even say that it is through this dedication that we reach maturity, since by exercising it we recognize the importance of what it means to be and to act as an individual.

Between its covers is a storehouse of events past; a record of achievements in organization, activities, sports, and classes; an almost une.nding number of smiling faces with whom you spent many hours as a student; and a display of many hours of hard work on the part of those who made it possible. But most of all, it is something to gather a room's dust until one is ready to open its pages once again and take a long, sentimental journey back up St. Albert's hill.

Junior quarterback Jerry Mortensen (19) finds a big hole in the opponent's defense. 36 This year, Coach Charles' team had a disappointing season, ending with a 4-5 record. But the season's outcome was deceiving since St. Albert faced an exceptionally tough schedule, which included several state powers. Also, many juniors were relied upon this year, but of course, they were provided with valuable experience from the rough season. This, plus a convincing 31-7 J. V. win over a small school power should strengthen hopes for a better season next ye ar. St. Albert's defense awaits the snap of the ball. ABOVE LEFT: SA defenders prepare to meet a sweep.

The record was deceptive in that many games were dropped by small margins. Coach John LaBonia counted on rotating hot-hands and a continuous hustling defense. Coach also felt that this season was utopia with the team progressing and climaxing at tournament time.

TI1is year's sophomore basketball team had a highly impressive season, winning 13 games in a row before suffering its first defeat. Fr. Monahan's cagers relied heavily on a strong defense and teamwork as well as clutch shooting to compile their 14-2 record.

Despite a lack of good floor-play, the team managed to work well together and at times displayed excellent teamwork in some of its close wins. Included in this would be the frosh's thrilling overtime victory over the previously undefeated city champion, Edison, which gave the city crown to them.

With the highest potential so far in the school's short history, this year's varsity wrestling team worked its way to a 10-2 dual record and did quite well in local tournament action. Coach Ken Petersen's grapplers had good strength in the various weights and showed high promise when the state tournament rolled around. Since only a few key wrestlers of this year are graduated, a hopeful outlook should be taken for a good season next year. ABOVE: Jack Stageman, the team's leader in pins, straddles his opponent.

V. group came through with an impressive 7-2 dual record. Most of the weights have experienced grapplers returning while also contributing many to the future varsity roster. With the lower weights being the foundation of the Falcon team, Coach Ken Petersen, also being the head of J. V. wrestling, is relying on these young wrestlers to balance his team for next season. Having the ability and valuable experience, these J. V. matmen should have wrestling looking up in the following years. LEFT: Scott Ka llman works to drop his opponent .

ABOVE: Scott Kallman prepares to move in on his opponent. RIGHT: Steve Ryba attempts to get good position for a pin. Fr. Kiernan's freshman grapplers finished with a 3- 5 season. Although they collected many points in the lower weights, the frosh wrestlers faltered in the heavier ones due to lack of size and so lost many matches in the late-going. Since it was the first year for most, concentration fell mainly on fundamentals, and the team was not able to keep up with the more experienced schools in the area. Despite this, however, there were several freshmen who could emerge as top varsity prospects and help out our future varsity wrestling. 49 Track ROW 1: L. Weidman, J. Sheeran, K. Mehsling , D.

This year's track team had another successful season, placing high in most of the area meets and attaining a second place finish at the state meet. Although Coach Charles' team declined in several events from the previous year due to graduation, improvements were made in other areas well enough to make this year's team potentially as strong as the last. The cindermen were again very strong in the relays, especially in the twomile relay which took first at the C. B. Relays. The 440 and 880 relays were also tough competition in the local meets. Even though most of the track team's strength was in the running events, the field also did well; and, as it was composed mostly of underclassmen, those events, as well as the running, should be very promising again next year. 50 Dave Johnson anchors the freshman 440 relay team. The mile-medley team, composed of Jim Walsh, Tom Turner, Darwin Kruse, and Ken Mehsling, took first at state. The 880 relay team, consisting of Vince Leber, Walsh, Turner, and Kruse, finished second at state. LEFT: Larry Weidman legs out an 880 at a local tra ck meet.

St. Albert's golf team, coached by Ken Petersen, reached a successful 6-5 season even though it played against stem competition this year. With several players turning in low scores consistently, the team won many matches by ohe or two strokes. The team, composed mainly of underclassmen, fared well against many larger schools. With three lettermen and four sophomores returning, next year's team appears to be a form id able one. Girl's Tennis ROW 1: M. Hole ton, M. Ronk, M. LaMantia; ROW 2: J. Wanning , J. Shudak , M. Burke , G. Roux; ROW 3 : L. Hole ton , S. Mc Curry , J. Knudsen , M. Ager, M. McQuaid. The te nnis team this year made good progress as Sister Marjorie coached the girls to a 3- 3 record. This season brought the group tough competition compared to the experie nce of the young team, but they developed good strength in both the singles and doubles and came a long way in skill. The outlook for te nnis as a growing sport at St. Albert is promising since only two players are graduating. Also, the team lost at district this year only to T. J. who we nt all the way to state. Watch out for tennis next year! Mary Ager and Marcia Burke swing their racke ts in a practice session. 53 54 Varsity Baseball ROW 1: R. Munch, Co-Captain P. Tedesco, W. Moran, J. Mann, M.

Third Baseman Dan Shudak fields a ground ball. This year's varsity baseball team had a respectable season, playing close to . 500 ball all year. Coach Wolever relied on many different players to produce victories for him and often varied his line-up, as his team was well-balanced in many areas. Power hitting and good fielding highlighted this year's club, which wound up producing several standout seniors and many developing underclassmen. The outfield was successfully replaced after losing its top members the year before, and the experienced infield worked well together as expected. The team turned out to be very im - pressive this baseball season as it came from a losing record and a low position in the league ranks to play tough ball in the closing games and end the year respectably. Catcher Paul Tedesco looks for a chance to steal second. Hard-throwing Nate Becerra shows his Juan Marichal wind-up. FAR LEFT: Dan Shudak throws to first base on a routine ground ball.

Just as the varsity did, the second varsity baseball team also played near • 500 ball throughout the season. However, the record is misleading since the team lost many close games and also played against other schools' regular varsity teams many times. The going often got rough for the young ball club because of this, but the tough year provided good, potential ballplayers for next year's varsity team. Although not sparked by consistent hitting, the group managed to pull through with the hits when needed. Also, the team's defense came along well as the season progressed; and an eight-inning, error less ballgame highlighted its fielding display, giving Coach Wolever good reason to be hopeful for a successful season next year.

After ten weeks of preparation, the play ran for thre e scheduled nights and a fourth because of enthusiastic demand. Due to the excellent selection of props it was unnecessary to close the c urtain throughout the performance. The entire cast was filled b y Senior talent, especially the roles of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller which were strongly portr ayed by Mary Shaughnessey and Jane Wanning. Kate Keller (M.

From 8: 00 to 11: 00 all the couples danced to the moving music of the Les Smith Soul Band, and relaxed in the cafe - teria over punch and cookies served by the Sophomore girls. For a finale of the evening , the couples dined at their favorite restaurant. ~~oriental Gardens'' 69 SENIOR CHOIR 70 St. Albert's Speech and Music Departments Present For a change, this spring the Speech and Music Departments combined to present SPA MU . The speech presentation con - sisted of the contestants of various speech contests, featuring humorous declamation, interpretive prose, and duet acting . The Music presentation consisted of special se lections, feat uring the Sophomore choir on Saturday night and the Freshman choir on Sunday night. The Senior choir, dressed in formal attire, was highlighted at both pe rformance s. SOPHOMORE CHOIR FRESHMAN CHOIR 71 72 Les Musiques The Les Musiques, a special group consisting of eight boys and ten girls, went casual for SPA MU. The girls normally wearing navy blue dresses and the boys wearing gold blazers performed for private parties, Altar Societies, and had the privilege of performing at Club 64. The Christmas season proved to be the busiest for the Les Musiques with a performance nearly every night. Soph's decorate with ~~Flower Power" The mod flowers on the walls, the painted flowers on the windows, and the wild signs throughout the room were all part of the Sophomores' decorations. A highlight of this dance was the fact that it was turnabout and it gave the girls a chance to ask their favorite boy. 73 74 Religion at St. Albert's Re ligion is a n esse ntial part of any Saint Albe rt srnde nt 's life ; whethe r it be receiving com - munion on a Day of Re colle c - tion, understanding the facts about the financia l status of Catholic schools, or listening to a sermon about the problems of faith. Graduation A stepping stone in your life presents mixed emotions; TEARS when you think about not seeing your friends as much or maybe never again; SMILES when you think about how proud you are to have earned your diploma and to have finished your high school era; and SENTIMENT when you see the smiling, helping faces of your teachers and when you walk down the halls for the last time. 75 Class of '69 76 Graduates 77 78 Those fulfilling requirements which make them eligible for a high school diploma receive them.

The Falcons featured a strong inside game with Seniors Craig Kru - picka, Mike Murphy and Rich Wi se. The guard court featured Dave Henry, Steve Prichard , Matt Doran, and Junior Jim Duggan .

Freshman Mike Mescher and Sophomore Judy Wettengel won the titles of Mr. and Mrs. Irresistable by collecting the most "hush" buttons from students of the opposite sex. Green and gold day topped off the in-school events, where students put together as much green and gold as possible. The annual Homecoming pep rally was held on the Thursday night before the game. Highlights of the pep rally included the float competition, " Almost Anything Goes" contest, and the coronation of the queen. Despite strong competition in the float contest, the Fre sh man proved victorious in their interpretation of the theme " Falcon Journey." The " Almost Anything Goes" competition pitted classes against each other in games such as the obstacle course, "wild and crazy" competition, and the faculty duck pond. The pep rally was climaxed with the crowning of t he 1978 Homecoming queen, Janet Blodgett. Members of the court were Lori Larse n, Jan Rou x, Jackie Rath , and Janet Schreiber.

As in the past, the religion department has offered to interested students an opportunity to do a community service in place of attending regular religion classes. Some students chose to help a teacher with a class, tutor another student, or keep tl]e chapel organized. But the most popular outlet for Community Service was to visit the Indian Hills Care Center, located at the bottom of Gleason Ave:- Several students gave up their lunch period to share their time with the senior citizens living their. The girls who visited got to know a lot of the residents, and "adopted" friends who might not otherwise have any family or visitors.

P.A. C. E. program. The students, both boys and girls, earned five credits per year through the program. The Cosmetology class was taught at Stewarts Beauty College with eight girls from S.A. attending. There were also six Juniors and Seniors taking Child Care, This class gave students a chance to work with the children who attend nursery school at Iowa Western. For the boys there was Building Construction and Auto Mechanics. The Building Construction class, this year, put their talents to work constructing a home in the NorthEast section of Council Bluffs. The Mechanics Class, attending the course in the afternoon, numbered nine. These vocational classes were offered to the students at no cost, and gave them an opportunity to see what college would be like, and an idea of what career they might pursue. 51 Student Council continues leadership tradition The 1979-80 Student Council continued in their traditional role of service and leadership to the school and the community. The council under the moderation of Mr. Mark Skahil and Father Chiodo initiated many projects and encouraged student body participation. This year the Student Council divided into four committees in order to better serve the school in the areas of community service, spiritual development, activities, and building beautification. Student Council endeavors included Homecoming Week, Christmas decorating, Pride Week, and the St. Albert Festival. In addition, the Student Council was instrumental in the development of intramural basketball, an activity enjoyed by many students. 52 Opp. page (top) Student Council moderators Fr.

Not only are they faced with Magee, but also an ii/- tempered chef (Ann Petratis) and Fr. Drobney (Andy Steenson), a priest who plays Houdini in his spare time.

On the 15th of November, St. Albert students from grades K-12 gathered at the high school to celebrate the feast day of our patron saint. Representatives from every class participated in the Mass, reading petitions, bringing offertory gifts to the altar, singing and reading the epistles and responsorial psalms. After the Mass the Future Falcons were divided into small groups with jr. and sr. students for hosts and hostesses. These people made sure their younger counter-parts were accommodated in the best way possible with sack lunches in the S.A. cafe and guided tours of the school. When lunch was finished, the primary and middle school students were taken back to their own schools. The school system gathering has become a favorite event of the young and old St. Albert students.

Serving as principal was Patricia Lackowski. Formerly principal at Catholic high schools in Nebraska and Wisconsin, she became the first woman to serve in this position at St. Albert. Believing that leadership is not just for the administration and faculty, she implemented ways for students to become more active in school government. Vice-principal for SA was Greg Logsdon. His chief duties included discipline, building maintenance, and transportation. Mr. Logsdon also assisted in coaching football and wrestling. Also new to the system was Rose Peterson. Mrs. Peterson acted as coordinator for the 7th and 8th graders, as well as teaching math. New in the position of education coordinator but not new to SA was Fr. Ed Hurley. His tasks include public relations and fund raising. this page: (top) Ms. Patricia Lackowski addresses the graduates of 1980.

The third annual Senior Production was held on Friday, December 21. The afternoon performance allowed both high school students and faculty to take a break from the normal classroom routine. Some pf the production's highlights were the "Faculty Meeting", "Twelve Days of Iran", " Qom Plucka Plucka" affd "The Newlywed Game." Each individual in the audience was charged a fee of 50¢ for the afternoon enjoyment. Candy was sold before the performance and during intermission. The proceeds for the day were added to the Senior Class Treasury to aid them in purchasing a "Senior Gift" for the school. Bill McGinn and Liz Rohling, garbed as under world spies, dug in the closets of many underclassmen seeking old skeletons. The Senior Production would not be complete without a visit from Santa Claus.

New members of the National Honor Society were inducted in a special ceremony that was attended by all the students on April 16. The day was dubbed "dress-up day" in honor of the special occasion. The ceremony, which had previously been held on Awards Night, was moved to the afternoon so the new members could be recognized by their peers. To become a member of NHS, students must have a 3.25 grade point average and must be approved by seven teachers. Students are chosen each year on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, character and grades. Current members are reviewed each year, and if they no longer fulfill the qualifications, their membership is revoked. At the beginning of the ceremony members explained each of the four standards. Then one by one the candidates, unaware of who they were, were presented with a rose, and a medal. The new pledges were on hand and were escorted into the gym to meet their children as they were inducted. A reception followed in the cafe for the NHS members, their parents and families and the faculty. Mrs. Kathy Jennings was the NHS faculty advisor for 19 79-80.

It was a major comeback fo r the 60's and 70's at SA. The student body showed up in everything from peace sunglasses and tyedyed t-shirts to long-haired wigs and bell bottoms. Wednesday was Pajama Day. This was one of those days when students just rolled out of bed and came to school. It was one of the more relaxing days throughout the week. The hallways were nothing but a sea of robes, an assortment of slippers, and BedHead. Finally students had a chance to see what everyone REALLY looked like after having a good night's sleep.

"It would have been a little more encouraging to have seen more people dress up," said senjor Kori Nielsen, " It's supposed to be a fun week for everyone." There were varied opinions about the dress up days chosen by the student council. . "I was kind of upset that we ilidn't have a clown day," said seruor Sharon Whetston, "It would have been fu n to have djfferent days from past homecoming weeks." Even though Homecoming week comes every year it's meant ot be unjque and fun for everyone. All in all it was an exciting week to be involved with.

For instance, the seniors have a big stress on their hands with their killer Brit Lit paper. A paper that the juniors are fearing a year before they have to do it. The seniors this year tried a little harder than last year. Many of the seniors last year were burning the midnight oil the night before their eight to ten page paper was due.

Budgeting: Keeps a Lock on Students Wallets By: Erin Horner Staff Writer Eicture this: You have been debating about asking out this person for weeks. You finally get up enough nerve to ask for a date. You arrive promptly to pick them up. You go to your favo rite restaurant and have a pleasant meal. You take outyour billfold to pay for the bill. YIKES! You have no money to be found. Guess you could have waited on those CD's you bought yesterday. If this has ever happened to you, maybe you should try budgeting your money. Most high school students that have jobs don ' t budget their money. Anne Burgett, who is employed at Godfathers said, "I try to budget my money, but I usually end up spending it." Most students spend their money on whatever comes up without any planning ahead. What they spend their money on is the big question . It could range anywhere from fast food to paying for their own tuition.

Allison Arnold, who is employed at The Garden Cafe is an exception. She says, 'Tm saving my money for a car." Those students that have expenses to meet, say that it's hard to meet them every month. Some students have car insurance to pay for along with gas, tuition, and any other extras they may want. "l find it hard to meet my expenses, because I don't get any hours where I work," said Rachel Olsen, who works at the St. Albert Day Care. To meet all the expenses many teenagers have jobs. Some popular places of employment are Hy-Vee, the mall, and various resturants If you are one of these people who have a hard time meeting your expenses, maybe you should try a budget, then you won't get stuck in a situation where you go on a date and have no money. Jobs and Money Unbearable By: J ohnna Hargens Staff Writer Do you ever feel like the pressure of your job along with school is just· too much to handle?

It is also a known fact that stress can cause severe headaches, ulcers, overeating, heart attacks and depression. To prevent these from happening, some students take time out to relax. Junior Jodie Fri edrechsen said, "In order to relieve my stress, I talk about it with my friend . They can help me calm down so I don't go overboard."

HeyfWhat are YOU •listening to? St. Albert's Favorite Bands of the 90 's By: Mark Mortensen Staff Writer When students were asked about their favorite group, the answers ranged from a country artist to alternative. The most mentioned, and popular groups or artist, were Green Day, Garth Brooks, and Pearl Jam. Like other students Sophomore Ryan Stuntz is curious about what goes on at the concerts. Stuntz wanted to see Green Day in concert for many reasons. " Mainly for the mosh pits, mass mania and the chicks going crazy," said Stuntz. Garth Brooks was one of the only country singers that students at SA would buy a ticket to go see. "He's the man, " said junior Steve Turner. Most people interviewed said they liked his songs, but also wanted to go because of the entertainment value. "He has got one of the top sound stages in the business. He's got some good songs and is very entertaining," said Turner. "He is the best entertainer today," according to Turner. The last band requested by students was Pearl Jam. Along with Green Day, Pearl Jam is one of the more popular alternative bands of the 90's. "Eddy Vedder puts on a good show. He has lots of energy," said junior Matt Dinovo. Along with Vedder's energy is an energetic crowd. "Sometimes the concerts can get a little dangerous because of the mosh pits, but that's part of the excitement that dpws you to buy the ticket," said Dinovo.

Alternative? Rap? Country? Music to students ears By: Lizzy Gorman, Anne Burgett, Lucia Sanchez Music has become a rather popular subject among the St. Albert student body. Whether you prefer r::ip , pop, grunge, or country tunes, you're sure to find a radio station that will get you moving to the beat. There are several different reasons people chose to listen to different types of music. Sophomore Dever Hansen prefers the classic rock, such as The Rolling Stones and The Doors. "It makes me feel so good. Some of the music is so good I could ljsten to it for hours." Freshman Mike Draper enjoys listening to the more recent groups such as Nirvana and The Beastie Boys. "I like the style, and the way it sounds. The lyrics are pretty cool," said Draper. A majority of the students like all types of music and have favorite groups for each type. Junior Matt Britten agrees, "I like listening to Nine Inch Nails." In a survey of SA students, over half the students chose Eddje Vedder as their favorite singer. Mo t people had last had purchased the Nirvana "Unplugged In New York" CD. And the favorite group was Green Day. In the past few years country music has been increasing in popularity with St. Albert students. Senior Nickje Spears prefers country music. "It's more relaxing. Some other lyrics are tougher to understand," said Spears. Whether you're an easy listener or a heavy-metalist. music is a great way to express yourself.

After working h~rd all week, sometimes you just have to let go and have some fun. -- By: Sara Kruse Index Edtior As 8th hour on Friday rolls around , students are no longer interested in algebra or chemjstry. Now they're concerned with major weekend plans. Whether it be with friends, famjJy or just a girlfriend or boyfriend, teenagers are bound to fi nd some way to spend their time. Students have a wide variety of choices. It ranges from going out with fri ends to a party, to renting a movie and staying home with a significant other. Due to the myri ad of personalities in the student body, it's diffic ult to find everyone doing the same activity. Some fi nd themselves dedicating a large amount of time to athletics year round. On the other hand, some teenagers pass weekends by working. "I work a lot during the weekend hours, but whenever I find the time to relax, I spend it with my friends, " sajd senior Drew Evers. But doing the same thing every weekend gets dull. On the average night students will find themselves going to a movie or j ust hanging out with friends at their house. But due to the desire to do something out of the ordinary, there are those few that occupy their time by fo r instance, going to hockey games or country line dancing. A major concern of money could enter one's mind. On the average, you can spend ten dollars or more in one night depending on the acti vity. Another obstacle that younger teens can' t overcome is not having a li cense. It can get diffic ult when your parents have to continuously drive a group of your fri ends everywhere. " Even if none of my fri ends drive we still have fun by hanging out or just having a bunch of people at someone's house," said freshman Meghan Beresford . As you can see, there are many different ways that students occupy their time, whether it be country line dancing or just sitting at a fri end's house watching movies. SA students are findin g ways to have a good time. Juniors Toby Fisher and Anna Gergevic dance the night away at an after game dance put on by the Pommers. You did WHAT last weekend??

Mr. Mehsling, a U.S. History teacher said, "Every thing that happens in thi country reflects their life." Mr. Kimble, an American History and honors history teacher, said "The students should not only understand what happened in the past, but why it happened." ln the honors history class, the students wrote an in-depth paper on one person or time in history. This was a good way fo r students to learn the how and why of something that they are interested in. Mrs. Madsen, a U.S. History and world history teacher, said, ·"The students should also be involved in what is going on. " Madsen had her students do a simul ation of a certain time in history. For instance, she had her students simul ate working in a factory and starting a labor union. They could then understand the trouble workers went through during that process and that time. Sophomore David Reineke said, "We were able to understand what factory life was like and the authority the bosses had over their workers. I thin k we all understand it a lot better now." For S.A. students, history is not just learning the facts. but also learning the how and why.

The program was built with three new teachers and an added language. Mr. Gill has taken over the Latin program and Mrs. Leuschen, a new teacher, took over all Spanish one and some Spanish two classes. Mrs. Boltinghouse, also a new teacher, began the new French Mrs. Printy-Zika poses for the camera in her new hat for the Spanish trip. program. Gill said, "Latin is a very important part of the English language and is very important for kids to understand ." Foreign languages also helps students relate and prepare for the real world. "Learning a fo reign language teaches people to relate with others," said Spanish teacher Mrs. Printy-Zika, "and it is proven to improve your English vocabul ary and your SAT and ACT scores.'" Many people know that try ing to learn another language can be very frustrating, which is why the teachers often planned games and acti vities. Mrs. Printy-Zika's Spanish classes played games and sang songs, usually after finishing a chapter or for the holidays. The biggest top ic of the year was the Spani h tri p to Mexico. Fifteen Spanish three and four students vi ited Mexico City, Taxco, a small mining town in Mex ico, and Acapul co to get ome sun. The students were very excited about going.

But, for others, math just comes easy. Either way, math class is a big part of every hi gh school student's academi c career. Mrs. Swartz's Calculus class is mixing fun with hard work and chall enging concepts. Senior Jason Killi on said , "The fun we have during the class helps most students give their full attention during instruction." Trigonometry, also taught by Mrs. Swartz, is only a semester class so the students felt the end crunch at mid-term . Junior Dana Schwartz said, "I didn' t have any problems with the class but I did serve as an in-class tutor for some of my friends." Algebra Il was a full class this year with sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Junior Allison Arnold said something that appli es to most math classes, " It can be hard. You just have to pay attention because everything builds on what you learned the day before ." Mrs. Wiegman is, as usual, laying a solid foundation of Sophomore Jennifer Boettcher and junior Jennifer O'Donnell discuss the order of operations in their Algebra II assignment. Class time was often spent working in groups or consulting with other students. mathematics skills to be used in upper level math. "It's not too tough. You just have to pay attention," admits sophomore Jimmy Ge1javic, "But, I liked making snowflakes the best." Algebra is where most students get their first taste of high school mathematics. Freshman Eric Rogers said, " It's hard but I'm sure the things we are learning now will be useful in other classes." The math teachers at St. Albeit are sure to be pushing their students to the limits but as most students eventually find out " it's not too tough if you just pay attention."

The seniors in British Literature were hard at work on the dreaded term paper that was due in the late third quarter fo r Mrs. Kenny. Senior Tom Hughes said, " I didn't want to do it. but I did. " The Senior English c lass read quite a few books this year, one of whi ch was "Lord of the Flies" by Willi am Golding. " It was a great novel. I enjoyed it more than anyth ing that I' ve eve r read," commented senior Shannon Sulhoff. English teacher Mrs.Kenny asissts sophomore Dawn Stebbins with her research paper. This year there were two teachers of American Literature, Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wiegman. Wilson's students studi ed the works of great authors and were bound to receive advice. Meanwhil e, Mrs. Wiegman's pupils watched the movie "Roots" and enjoyed free reading time every Friday. Sophomore English also had a paper due for Mrs. Kenny. In the paper, they were supposed to compare and contrast two of the same types of works, one from the past and one from the present. Sophomore Dave Reineke said,"[ think writing this paper will help us in the future with other compositions." In the first semester, Kenny teamed up with the Biology teacher, Mrs. Mooney, and took a joint field trip to the zoo. Sophomore Joe French stated, " I like the way we incorporated two different subjects into one field trip." The Freshmen English class read William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" and then watched the modern version "Westside Story" . They also read Martin Luther King Jr. 's "I Have a Dream" speech. Whether they are reading, writing, or just practicing the English language, St. Albert students are doing their best at improving themselves.

Mrs. Schall es said that both of these classes were learning how to figure both national and state income taxes. Schalles said that the students will have the opportunity to bring in and fill out their own fo rms. These classes also foc us on working with forms that students would use if they were actually working at a business. "During the first semester, students mainly worked with the classic pencil and paper, however, we hope to get the students onto the computers during the second semester," Schalles said. Senior Chris Van Scoy, Accounting I student, said that the class was one of his fav orite classes of the year. He mentioned that he was happy that he took the class and that it might come in handy depending on the fi eld that he decides to go into. Van Scoy said , "My favorite things to do in class are debits and credits because they are easy." Senior Michelle Wise, Accounting II student, said that she always had fun in her Accounting class. Wise's favorite parts of Accounting II using teams. Both the were doing balance sheets and Economics and Applied worksheets. Wise commented Economics classes focused on that both Accounting classes gave her a good background because her future college plans included doublemajoring in Finance and Accounting. Wise finished by adding, "I hope that Tom Hughes is appreciative of the fact that I talked him out of dropping the class." Mr. Wettengel, Economics and Applied Economics teacher, said that both classes were mainly concentrating on using more cooperative learning techniques. The students participated in class how the casino issue would affects the local economy. Wettengel said, "Everyone can benefit from this new system of learning because eventually all of the students will have to work with other people." It seems that these classes were costructive and offered useful inforn1ation that will be very helpful later on in life for those students who take them. Beside , who could complain about knowing how to get money back from the government? Senior Michelle Wise compiles all the big numbers for accounting class. Senior Tom Hughes throws his feet up to relax after a long day, preparing himself for the business world. This year the accounting classes prepared their own taxes. 31 Nick Lownes Ryan Ludington Cathy McClellan Jason McGruder Mario Mendoza Melinda Montagne Mark Mortensen Andy Morton Tim Murray Jenny O'Donnell Jordan Oder Rachel Olsen Mark Phelps Jeremy Quigley Theresa Rangel Lucia Sanchez Dana Schwartz James Schwery Daryl Scurlock John Smith McClain Smouse Joey Stock Gabe Sullivan Kelly Thomas Steve Turner 32 No photo available Michelle Vercio Kory Werts John Wulff Neil Yeoman Science: It's lllore than just theories By : Greg Kellogg Administrative Assistant Pull your hair back, strap on your goggles and put on your aprons.

Fresh and vibrant faces began to roam the halls of St. Albert. Not onl y were they seventh graders or fo reign exchange students, but a un ique breedteachers! Teachers are the very core for the existence of St. Albert. Without them, classes couldn 't continue. Yet, every year some teachers depart, leaving their memories behi nd. New teachers seek employment at St. Al bert and school goes on. But what draws these new teachers to St Albert? "The school's reputation and fine academic record made St. Albert look like a pl ace I would like to work," said Mrs. Madsen, the history teacher. However, the tranquil appearance of the outside of the bui !ding is a contrast to the faster pace of life within the walls. Mrs. Boltinghouse, the French teacher, 36 made the observati on that, 'The foc us of the school is not that busy. It's the rushing from one class to another." In addition to Madsen and Boltinghouse, seven other new teachers became part of the St. Albert staff. They are as fo llows: Mrs. Jarrett, physical educati on and math; Fr. Witte, religion; Mrs. Schall es, bu siness education; Deacon Overcamp, reli gion; Mr. Mr. Kimble encourages class pa rticipation by using visual aids. Kimble, soci al studies, honors history, and government; Mrs. Leuschen, Spanish; and M. E. Ward, study hall. The student body readily accepted the new additions. Schall es commented, "St. Albert is an open welcoming communi ty. Due to the sma ll size of the schoo l, the fac ulty ge nera lly works together as o ne ." Every new schoo l year brings about new changes. The new teachers had to adapt to their new surroundings. Most fo und the adj u tment rather easy to achieve. "The atmosphere is one of caring and acceptance. " noted Schall es. Boltinghouse said , "The students' attitudes make teachi ng at St. Albert a pleasant ex perience. " The student body and the new teachers can·ied on St. Albert's trad iti on of bein o a 0 school high ly regarded in academi cs, extracurri cular activiti es, and prayer. They trul y are the beholder's of St. Albert's future and it is looking bright.

The sad scenerio is the recognition received is generall y the same fo r both type of people. The effo rt that is given is usually a result"of the ty pe of person; there are also other factors in volved. A main contributor is the job. Teachers go overboard with all of the tasks they must complete. Most people do not reali ze all of the effort that teachers give.

These include: -l unch duty -detention duty -arri ving at school earl y or staying late fo r student retakes or to offer help in general -coaching -morning hall duty -teacher meetings Teachers are truly a gift.

During an era of constant changes, the future of the world turns to certain role models, idols, ... heroes. This is a time when our ideas, beli efs, and lifestyles are most exposed and are vulnerable to suggestion. The people in our lives may help us to find out who we really are. Nearly one-qua1ter of the St. Albert student popul ation have athletes as role models. As jackets, caps, and jersies show, sports are a large part of many people's lives. Parents, as well as other relati ves, are also accepted sources for guidance. Parents were once teenagers too. Although it seems they sometimes fo rget the questions they once had and the problems they once faced are similar to ours. For those that have no role models, why not? Together, learning can be easier, and our problems are not faced alone. Ken Griffey Jr. is looked up to by many young athletes.

Role Models: An Everlasting Impression By : Jeremy Quigley Staff Writer Role models he lp shape the future of the kids who look up to them. Lots of young children look up to them for advice, he lp and how to act. " Kids look fo r someone to fo llow and pattern themselves after," said psychology t acher Dick Wettengel. 'They like to identify with them." Ask.ing abo ut Charl es Barkley, who has publicly said that he doesn' t want to be a rol e model, brought a mi xed reaction. When you're in the spot light, "You can·t be who you really are," commented junior Mike Hoy. On the other hand, sophomore Jami e Richards said, "People can' t say don ' t look up to me . There are reasons why they are looked up to.'" People have different role models, from rock stars to grandparents. Hoy commented that his role model is his grandfather, "Because he worked hard whil e he was young and he helps people out now."· Richards said that her ro le model are her parents. "They can usually rememb r what it was like when they were your age." When finding a role model. keep in mind that they too can fail. Wettengel said the hardest things about havi ng a role model i , "If they fai l, how do you handle it?" Even though good role models are hard to find, don ·t give up looking.

This monumental occasion had been looming in the seniors' sights all year and had come at last. A few more tests and this year's seni ors were going to be gone. The last day came on May 22, a Monday. The soon to be grad uates celebrated their last day in the same way it has been ce lebrated for years, the after schoo l water fi ght. Seniors prepared by fillin g water balloons and water guns, and Matt Greave expressed the feelings of just about everyone when he said, "!' m pretty excited. " However happy the seni ors were to be leaving, there were mi xed feelings about going. Many people were anxio us about the colossal change they will experi ence whe n they reach college. Many students we re fee ling last mi nute pressures with fi na ls closing in so quic kly. There seemed to be too much to do in the last few days. The stre-.s of the last week was pretty bad. but many students foun d consolation in the fact that the fi nals they were taki ng were to be their last ever at SA. Along with the stress of the last few days came an insatiable urge to, we ll , to do nothing at all. Tony Re inhardt voiced his opinion. ·'Yes. I gues<; ifs hard to concentrate, I j ust want to be done." Whatever the feelings of the graduating class of 1995 were about lea ving, it was tirne fo r them to hi t the road.

This year, S.A. graduated 57 seniors who had put their time and effort into studies throughout the years, and still managed to be accomplished in all their endeavors. They knew that "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." Filled with knowledge and fo nd memories, these 57, together With fri ends and relatives, moved onward toward their next challenges in life. Commencement ceremonies started at 2:00 with the playing of "Pomp and Circumstance" by the Saint Albert high school band, fo llowed by an invocation by National Honor Society president Tony Reinhardt and a We lcome from senior class president Ann Narmi . Following these, the fo ur valedictori ans, Lesa Hoffman, Ryan Myers, Andy Nicholas and Amy Patten, gave their views of the future in articul ate fi ve minute speeches. While some stressed the importance of high school experiences, the dominant theme throughout all four was "We should work our hardest to achieve our destiny." After the ceremoni es had ended, Nicholas commented, "My voice was shaking, and I could fee l my heart pounding in my h ad." Mr. Gruber especially enjoyed some of Hoffman's comments, saying "I always thought that Kindergarten guy was full of it," referring to her allusion to the book All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. A special musical section by a group of seniors fo llowed. They sang "It's Hard To Say Goodbye" by Don Besig and received a standing ovation from the '?w . Two special awards were presented afterwards. The spirit of St. Albert Award, going to Andy Ni cholas and Jess Anderson, and the St. Albert Award, presented to Dr. Anthony Romano. The fi nal speaker of the day might have been the most special of all. Bishop Joseph Charron gave the seniors some of his best advise with a scripture from Maccabees, "Only three things does God require: To act justl y, to love kindly, and to walk humbly with our God. " Seniors Joe Hargens, Josh Horner, and Chris Vanscoy realized that preparation for graduation began early, with measuring for cap and gown. - \ Ann Hansman lends Joe Hargens a helping Ann Hansman and Jess Andersen work hard cutting out the letters of their class motto. hand during decorating for graduation. .)5959595959~9595 The --0 Ider 9595959595959595 O"'..

After placing at the regional di vision, they went on to State. To be on the Academic Decathlon team a student can have a grade point average varying from 0.0 - 4.0. Junior Tony Fischer received a trophy fo r high indi vidual honors. He scored highest in five out of ten events. Mrs. Kenny said , "These kids are over- achievers, they amaze me, and it was sparatically intense." The purpose of Academic Decathlon is to compete against other schools. This is not only an ex perience in competition, but it is also a learning experience. Junior Michelle Yercio said, " I am learning from this because we are covering new areas that I will be able to use next semester. " The team had special training on bio - technology from Mrs. Mooney and on giving speeches by Mr. Wilson. To be prepared for the two competitions members of the team read novels and wrote essays while others taught different subj ects to the rest of the team. It was mostly student teachings on bi o - technology that prepared them for the competitions. Junior McClain Smouse said, 'The student teaching helped me the most. Students taught me different things." At the team's trip to state in Denison, they didn ' t do as well as they planned. Although the team didn 't reach their goal of attending nationals, there will be seven out of nine members returning to the team next year, and are hoping to reach their goal.

The band increased in numbers this year and had some new techinques to improve its sound. "It became more of a class environment instead of just practice," said junior McClain Smouse. The band also decided to cut loose and have a little fun this year by maki ng welcomed appearances at pep ra llies, football and basketball games and a wrestling dual. Other performances included masses, Christmas and spring concerts, the spring variety show, Adventure land, and the mall. The appearances were a new experience since most people haven't seen.

Choir Contestants Share Talents With Others By Theresa Rangel Staff Writer This was quite the year for the choir and Mrs. Stephany. The choir did a good job at contests and Mrs. Stephany had a baby boy, Brendan. The first event the choir practiced for was the Christmas season. They sang at the Mall of the Bluffs and sang for the students and fac ulty in the halls before Christma vacation. While Mrs. Stephany was gone , the choir was practicing for All-City and Mrs. Stu ntz took over. Mrs. Stephany's way of doing things was greatly missed. "With Mrs. Stuntz here we don' t work a hard and we don 't have our phms ready for the All-City music festival," said sophomore Jennifer Boettcher. Senior Chrissy Orwig thought that contest was the most fun . '"You get to meet a lot of people with the same interests as you. You were rated on performance, and it was a real learning experience," said Orwig. Many student have their own reasons for joining choir Junior Dan Koch likes choir "because you get to meet new people . ., Senior Kristy Meyer thought this year was better than previous years because "this year we have a lot more people in choir, and more guys that actually sing." Among the regular contests the choir had a Spring Concert, and All-City contest. "The music for All-City wa hard but we did fi ne. It was a lot of fu n being with people from different schools," aid Meyer. The goal of the choir was to "get more people to join, have fu n, and do quality performances,'' said Mrs. Stephany. ·The choir i a fun organization to join.

The play was chosen by theatre arts teacher, Mr. Wilson and music teacher, Mrs. Stephany. The cast consisted of approx imately 12 students, along with numerous singing parts. The cast of "Working" had practices everyday a fter school in Mr. Wilson's room, the choir room, or in the auditorium for two or two and half hours.

Journalism is much more. "In journalism you learn how to meet deadlines and other important life skills like writing, using the computer and most importantly how to work with others, " said adviser Mrs. Benson In Journalism l, students learn how to develop pictures using chemicals such as T-Max or Fixer. Students also learn to write different kinds of stories, like features or sports, and how to do layouts for a newspaper. People found it to be a lot more work than expected. One student in pmticular was Journalism l student Theresa Rangel.. At first l thought it would be easy work but it turned out to be a lot of work, but it does get easier," said Rangel. It seemed that most people took journalism because they thought it might be an easy "A" , especially managing editor #2 Joe Stuhr. He said, "I took it because I thought it would be an easy class but I found out it helped me express myself better." Managing Editor #1 Nichoel Thompson took journalism because she "wanted to get more involved with the school and its activities. Also designing a book that your classmates m·e going to look at yem·s from now makes you feel a little important." If you're going to take journalism for an easy "A" think again. There is a lot of work involved in Journalism l and II. The Journalism I Staff: front: Erin Horner, Johnna Hargens, Anne Burgett, Theresa Rangel, Lucia Sanchez, Mark Mortensen.

Members paced up and down SA' s home street and found anything from pop cans to memorabilia from last year's state basketball tournaments. However, the chapter not only required its members to participate in these projects, but also encouraged its members to participate in their own service proj ects. According to senior and first-year-member Chrissy Orwig, " I enjoy this, especially because of the type of responsible people who participate in this." The most important lessons learned from NHS may be their meetings, held monthly in room l 09. Students propose the chapter's up-coming activities, group into committees and vote on bills. According to President Reinhardt, "You have to lead from an agenda and make sure everyone else does their job." NHS President Tony Reinhardt gives a speech during the NHS induction.

They have done pop cans, Catholic Schools Week, Red Ribbon Week and many more events, but now with Prom and Graduation upon them, more of a burden is put on them. Even though it is a commanding job, it is still fun and enjoyable. Junior class officer Ben Koch said, " I like the fact that I' m representing the class." Sophomore Andrew Regan took a more educational approach when he said, " It looks good on your college application." With the success of past events and wanting to be successful this year, the class officers can feel a little pressure. And with Prom and Graduation, it was very important to the class officers and to the entire student body that these events be a success. Koch commented, "I feel a little pressure because last year's Prom was so good." But with Graduation, Senior class officer Tony Reinhardt said, " I don' t really feel any pressure because we made all the preparations earlier this year and we made the decisions as a class. There is also pressure on the class sponsors for these events. Junior class adviser, Mrs. Mooney, said, "We're in charge of Prom, which includes fundraising, organizing, decorating, cleaning-up, and chaperoning." Senior class sponsor Ms. McGuire commented, 'Tm in charge of organizing a representative to get invitations and senior voting. Also I take orders for graduation, have a mass and breakfast, and a mass and dinner with the parents."

Student Council Reps Give 100% by: Johnna Hargens staff writer The Student Council members are responsible for a number of activities throughout the year, but especially to raise school spirit, organize activities and set a good example for other students in the chool. They also develop responsibility, initiative, and cooperation among students and the administration. One of the biggest events was the magazine drive. Students surpassed all goals for the drive, earning $15,000. The Student Council was also in charge of Catholic Schools Week. They planned and set up the activities. Some of the new activities were the student/ teacher volleyball tournament and an afternoon of movies, pop and popcorn for seniors. "Being on Student Council helps me to be more involved with the school, and it is a lot of fun," said sophomore vice president, E1in Ryan. Another activity they were responsible for was Red Ribbon Week. The Student Council members gave out red ribbon stickers to show support for a drug-free lifesty ule. To help heighten the awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, members handed out black sweartshirts to tudents to represent those that had died in alcoholrelated accidents. Being on Student Council required a lot of dedication. Senior and president of the Student Council, Andy Nicholas said, "I enjoyed being on Student Council because I liked interacting and working with people and I liked the projects we did."

As students attending St. Albert High School we are part of a legend. "The school on the hill", rich in traditions that have been kept since the last brick was laid, the school itself could be called a legend. Yet, the real legends at SA are the students. Each student has a story. This book will tell that story, the story about each and every one of us and our involvement in our school. Without the people who populate the hallways and classrooms, what would this school be? Nothing but a hollow shell with no legends of the past, no legends in the making, and no future legends. We are the legends of St. Albert, and together we have created the legend of 1996. The activHies that took place this year were made memorable by the students who took part in them. The sporting events that were won, were won only because there were many talented athletes and coaches who gave it their all to bring home a victory. Organizations were successful in their endeavors because of the time and hard work put in by all those involved. And of course, the school year itself could not have been such a fortuitous learning experience if there were no teachers, administrators, or students. With this in mind, think again about the definition of the word legend. Are you a legend? Yes, you are, and so is everyone who attends SA. We are all legends individually, and we are all part of the St. Albert legend. All of us are "legends" . As long as we are a part of St. Albert we al ways will be. As the saying goes "Legends never die" ! Left: Juniors Amy Vanfossan and Annie Heithoff show their team spirit by giving each other high fives before one of their volleyball games.

" Peace Out!!!" 00000 5 Student Life Memories of Summer1995 Copy Editor Rachel Olsen Remember those days of summer? The times of sleeping late, getting out of your pajamas around 2:00 p.m., hanging out with your friends during the day, doing tfiings only if you wanted to and not having a care in the world? Ahh, summer! Just when you get use to it, BOOM! School starts. Soon you're back to the monotone days of homework and studying. To enliven the lonely and somewhat boring days of school, SA students reflected on the days of summer, 1995. Some students had summer vacations full of excitement. Others enjoyed the simple, good life. Senior Jodie Friedrichsen said her summer basically consisted of "going to Cabana pool and basking in the sun." Student Life 6 Junior Holly Swanek had what most would call an exciting summer. She was lucky enough to go on a vacation to the Bahamas without her parents or any adult upervision ! Swanek stated, "It was great!" For most students the typical smnmer afternoon consisted of going to the pool, going to work and just staying cool with the A.C. In the evening most students hung out with their friends, relaxed and went to work. On an average most students slept in between the hours of ten a.m. and noon. Summer was a time for fun and trying new things. Senior James Schwery went down to Fort Benning, GA for basic training. Summer 1995 is over but far from forgotten, as SA students look back with smiles. The Summer sun reminds us of those lazy days when we had time for friends, family, and fu o.

An Alarming Beginning Advertising Lucia Sanchez The alarm goes off, you reach over to turn it off, wonderino "' why you must get up so early in . the morning. Then it hits you. The nightmare you had just awaken from is actually a reality, today is the first day to get up and go back to school. Being back up on the hill brought several different fee lings for each student. A few of the students were more than happy to be back into the swino of "' things. "I wanted to see everybody again, ya know? !" said senior Ben Koch. However, a majority of the student body agreed that being back was all work and no play. " I wasn' t looking forward to coming back because of a ll the homework and stuff - I hardly ever have any free time to myse lf, especially during the beginning of the school year," sa id junior Melissa Kroll. ·Tm not glad to be back in school because I'm not a senior yet," said sophomore Joe Beltran. "I kinda wish it was still summer so that way I could swim and lay out and spend more time with my fri ends," said freshman Anitra Mendoza. Each year as a student grows older, being a part of each high school class takes on its own meaning. As a freshman a student is finall y considered a part of high school, which is a big step up in the teenage years. Freshmen were allowed to attend high school dances. Being a sophomore gave each student a chance at a varsity position in any sport Sophomores were offic ially able to operate a motorized vehicle by themselves (no permit required) and were also no longer the youngest in high school. Juniors were no longer "underclassmen. " It was the first year they were allowed to attend the prom. A junior could take certain courses for college credit, a head start on their senior year. Seniors "ruled the school." Being the "Big Kahuna's'" added a lot of stress, but most seniors seemed to handle it well knowing it was their last year. "It's tough being a senior because of all the stress you have making the right decisions that will affect your future, but at the same time you' re still a teenager and want to hang out with your friends and j ust have fun," said senior Jason McGruder. Although most seniors were glad it was the last year of high school, a few wi ll mi being "up on the hill." Regardless the most anticipated event for all seniors was graduation day. Although there were many mixed feelings about going back to school, school' a reality and the sooner you got up, the faster you got out!

Change sweeps SA Marketing Editor Erin Horner The St. Albert students started off the new year with many changes. Among these were: Homeroom, early bird classes, new uniforms, and an IBM lab. Instead of students racing down the hallways between 8:00 and 8:25, stndents must now be at schooi by 8: 10. This change is due to the addition of homeroom. During homeroom, students watched Channel One. While most of the students were coming to school at 8: 10, some students were ready for their second class of the day . These students were part of the new early-bird program. This gave students a chance to come to school early and leave early. The IBM lab was a change not overlooked by the students. It gave them a chance to Left: Ken Graeve gets his work done during early bird Advanced Biology .. . "The early bird gets the worm!" to work with a different type of computer. Senior Jeremy Quigley said "I prefer the IBM, because I have one at home." One of the most noticeable changes wa the new uniforms for students. S.A. girls had new skirts and a broader variety of pants to choose from. "The new uniforms are alright, but I don't care for the pleats" said freshman LaChrista Woods. Boys were limited to the color of pants and shirts. They had to wear a white, yellow or light blue dress shirt. Pants had to be navy, khaki, black, gray or hunter green. The new year brought about new things. Although some disagreed with the changes, a majority agreed. However. the benefits of progress will continue to be appreciated in the times to come. Above: Juniors Shannon Lauver, Ryan Stuntz, and Zach O'Hara rush through the halls to get to class. 9 Student Life Homecoming a success: lots of fun for everyone Photo Editor Mark Mortensen Homecoming '95 was a time of celebration and sadness. The seniors realized that this would e their last homecornming as students instead of almuni. The week started off with pajama day. Tuesday was formal dress day because of the homecoming mass. Wednesday was back to the craziness with armed forces day. Thursday was time to dig through the closets becuase it was past generations day. The pep rally on Thursday got the students pumped up for a little fun and festivities on Saturday, the dance. The mood was set for a disco night on the town. Above: Senior Anna Gerjevic looks cute in her pajamas as she perkily beams at the photographer. Student Life 10 The pep rally faced off the classes in a little friendly class to class competition. The juniors prevailed in the contest, followed by the seniors, sophomores and freshmen. One of the better games to watch for a good laugh was the eating contest. Matt Heenan kept that tradition alive by getting pudding all over the gym and getting very little in his mouth. It may not have been the best way to eat but it was good enough for the victory. The pep rally was concluded with the crowning of . Marty Hughes and Anna Gergavic as the 1995 royalty.

A heartbreaking game for the Falcons Advertising Editor J ohnna Hargens "When it rains it pours." Though no water fe ll from the sky, there was plenty in the eyes of S.A. players and fans after losing the Homecomjng game 14-0 against CA-M. No matter how it looked on fi lm, or from the stands, the Falcons never gave up hope. Junior quarterback Ryan Stuntz, who led the Falcons through previous wins was disappointed. "The intensity was there but the execution was questionable," he said. Breakdowns, whether mental or physical, overwhelmed the team's spirit that night. The Falcons tri ed to stay mov iated thoughout the season so that they could pl ay well at this game. Playing well does not always mean a win, but learni ng how to play football does occur at every game. Student Life 12 Honteconllng 1995 ''Disco Inferno'' Lizzy Gorman Johnna Hargens Joe Kuehl Andrew Regan The student counc il 's decorations fo r the 1995 Homecoming dance bl azed. The dance, he ld on September 23, had the theme " Disco Inferno. " The auxili ary gym was turned into a disco dance fl oor with a fu ll-scale disco ball , strobe li ghts, and door beads for the e ntryway. " I li ked the disco ba ll ," said seni or Eric Janecek. " It was rea II y cool. " The da nce had one o f the best turnouts in years. Student counc il sponsor Ms. Oatman said , "I thought it was very successful because of the amount of students who came. " As fa r as the music (provided by Compl ete Music) went, it blended perfectl y with the theme "Disco Infe rno." Disco hits such as ' Disco In fe rno," " YMCA," "Ce lebrate," and "Staying Ali ve" were bl asted by the disc jockey. Pictures were taken by Jack Hanson Photography. Like John Travo lta, who danced a long as the disco hit mov ie Saturdav Ni ght Fever played, students were encouraged to come dressed in disco style. The two major standouts were junior Charli e Nanni and senior Joey Stock. Narmi came decked out in a powder blue tuxedo with ruffles whil e Stock went fo r the leisure suit look in glistening white. Both dazz led the ladi es. Whether dressed in disco attire or just dancing to the best disco hits, all the students who attended the dance had a good time.

Many SA students were a part of this work force . At jobs ranging from a grocery store to a day care, the student body found their ni che in the world of the working. Some of these students loved their jobs and some hated them, but all agreed that the extra money came in handy. Seni or Nick Lownes, who taug ht g uita r !es ons at Lidgett Music, liked his job.

JuniorLindsay Wi1liams said, "I like my job because I make reall y good money and I li ke the people 1 work with." Luci a Sanchez, a senior who worked at Trade Secret, said, "I like my job a lot. I have been therefor a longtime. Butsometimes I get so bored when we're not busy, I just stand there and watch the people pass by.'' The students had their complaints about their jobs, but they liked the money! 15 Student Life Weekend life Below: Seniors Nicole Englehardt and Matt Hughes enjoy a meal.

Managing Editors Lizzy Gorman Anne Burgett The fi na l be ll just rang, you go to your locker and j am some books into your bag. Why? Because it's Friday! You are in fo r a weekend of fun and excitement. So, what do you do for fun on your weekend? Because we know that the weekend can be a very boring thing if you have nothing to do, and the usua l options (mov ies, the Old Market), are getting reall y sta le, we thought up a few activities to spice up your only time away from you-know-where. If you're yearning fo r outdoor excitement, roller-blad ing and biking are good options. The Wabash Trace is a beautiful place to go riding on a ni ce day. However, good weather conditions are a must. You could always go fo r a hike, whi ch is great exerc ise, and can be done anywhere. Just be sure that if you go out wa lking at night you wea r re fl ective clothing. There are some outdoor winter ac ti vities you can take part in . One that is enterta ining, yet slightly expensive, is snow skiing at Mt.Crescent. Of course, we cannot forge t the all time favo rite winte r acti vity ... sledding. Whether you take your little siblings or go with your friends, sledding is fun fo r everyone. A way to spice up your mov ie going experience is go ing the dri ve-in movi e theater. It sounds k ind of 1950's, but it's really fun and you get three mov ies fo r the pri ce of one. lndoor weekend ac ti viti es can inc lude roll erskati ng or ice-skating.

Ice skating is a popular acti vity, also. Hitchcock indoor ice rink is the place most frequented for teenagers looking fo r some thrills. It is often crowded and might make your ankles sore but watching your dearest friends dust ice shavings off the ir bums after a Kamikaze style wipe out is worth the pain. Of course there is always the good old stand by, going over to a friend's hou e and watching mov ies. Here is a list of our favo rite mov ies to watch on a night when there is nothing else to do: Fast Times at Ridgemont Hi gh, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Animal House, The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, the list is never-ending! It can even be relaxing to spend some time with friends and not really do anythi ng but sit aro und. These are some of the more exciting, or at least really fu n, weekend activities. Yet the big standout is surprisingly simply hanging out with friends at each others' houses. Freshman Andy Smith said, "A big night for me is when me and the guys sneak out to girls' houses at 2:00 a.m." So, whether you opt for a big ni ght out, or just sitting around with friends, make the best of your weekends because Monday means five more days of the s-word.

Guys look studious in their rented tuxes wondering if they will have any money left after that night, but then reali ze that they will do anything to please their date. This year's prom lived up to the expectations. It was decorated in a medi eval motif. And was so properly call ed "Oh What A Kni ght." A gossarnar ceiling, waterful , wall decorations, a large moat, and a castle completed the medieval theme. Juniors were responsible for setti ng up and cleaning up. They worked after school until ten at night the entire week before prom under the supervision of Ju li e Mooney and Thomas J. Kaup. No prom would be complete without a Icing and queen. The junior court included Annie Heithoff, Melissa Kroll , Amy Vanfossan, Ken Graeve, Charlie Narmi, and Ryan Stuntz. The seniors chosen were Christie Burke, Lindy Andersen, Lizzy Gorman, Andy lrwin, Tim Murray, and Kelly Thomas. Lindy Andersen and Kelly Thomas were selected as king and queen. "Oh What A Knight" was a prom to remember for both juniors and seniors. Dancing close by your date or just breaking it down instill memories a camera can' t capture.

Competitive Drama "A Time to Go Home" Advertising Editor J ohnna Hargens Every year the drama department puts together a one ac t play that goes to competi tion. The one act chosen usuall y deals with rea l life issues that young people face. This year's one act was entitled: "A Time to Go Home." It was about fo ur teens who were kill ed in an alcohol-related car accident. The characters look back in their li ves and see how time has qui ck ly passed and things they wished they could have changed. They see everything happening as if they were there. They see the pain their famili es are goi ng thro ugh. In this afte r life they lea rn to accept the fact that they are dead and reali ze that it is time to go home (heaven). Depressing and sad as the play may be, this team of artists managed to make it to superstate . Receiving I ratings at Distri cts moved the team to State. At State, they also received I ratings whi ch moved them to superstate. It's not easy to achieve superstate. Hours of practi ce, and good attitudes got these talented young ac tors there. Junior Mary Beth Ryan stated, "We improved after every performance and the best one shined th rough at superstate." This year's cast was a mi xture of very experienced and inexperi enced ac tors. There were a number of students making their first appearence on stage. However, this didn ' t stop these determined performers. Ryan commented, " It's a lot of fun competing in drama, and making it to superstate made it worthwhile."

Talking All the Way to the Top Advertising Editor J ohnna Hargens Individual Speech members compete in a number of areas including poetry, prose, acting, and story-telling. Individual Speech is more difficul t than many people think. It is also very time consuming. Sophomore Meghan Beresford said, "I wasn't exactly prepared when I performed. and I didn't do so good." As you can see it requires much time, practice, and effort. There were five participants involved with the Individual Speech Contest this year. They were j unior John D' Ang lo and sophomores Ben Nicholas, Meghan Beresford, Ellen Masker, and Joe Hensley. Although four of the participants didn · t advance to state, lone star sophomore Ben Nicholas advanced to state, and then onto superstate, receiving a I rating at Districts, three I ratings at State, and I at superstate. Ben Nicholas performed in the area of tory-telli ng. He did a section of '·Encounter" by Jane Yolen. When asked how he thought he did, Nicholas sa id. "At District I was kind of nervou , but really excited. As soon as I made it to tate, I became even more ne rvous." Havi ng to perform against some of the top performers isn ·t easy fo r anyone. Nicholas stated, "As soon a I made it to superstate I wasn't nervou anymore. l knew I had to be good to make it, and I wa good enough.'' 29 Organizations Above: Ms. Stephany, seen playing the piano, conducted the choir through various Masses and field trips.

So what does the Student Council do? The things the S.C. does fo r the school requires a lot of extra time. They organized the school dances, including "Disco Inferno" the ever famous Homecoming dance. The council also does a lot to boost schoo l spirit. They sponsor spirit days as we ll as fun days such as "Senior Come Late Day .'· "We also make welcome signs fo r new students" to let them know they are part of our school family. Probably the worst duty that the student council has would be pop can duty. Yuck! Fischer's statement is echoed by all the S.C. members. "Pop cans are so disgusting!" Does S.C. give the students a voice in how our school is ran? The answer is both yes and no. Fischer said "The schoo l board is really in charge. We can say what we want them to do, but it's not like they will always listen to us." Senior Ben Koch looked at the more positive aspect. "Being on S.C. is a way to present your ideas about school.

Howeve r, that illusion is de finite ly fa r from the reality. Journalism I and II students work ve ry hard on projects such as the yearbook, Dimensions and the newspaper, Accipiter. The Journalism II c lass of 1995-96 worked mainly on the yearbook. Photograph editors were Jeremy Quigley, Theresa Range l, and Mark Mortensen. Advertising editors were Johnna Hargens and Luci a Sanchez. In charge of layout and computers was Ray Gibson, and copy editing was done by Rache l Olsen. The index editor was Erin Horner, and co-managing editors were Anne Burgett and Lizzy Gorman. The stress of being in charge did get to be too much at times. " I just cry a lot," was Rachel Olsen's solution to her stress problems. According to managing editor Anne Burgett, getting rid of stress requires letting off some steam. " I handle the tress by having sessions with my co-managing editor, Lizzy Gorman," she said. The adv isor fo r the year was Mr. Thomas Kaup ; new to the school, and new to journalism. Speaking of his position, Kaup said, " I Jove it. I fee l bad because I didn ' t know much in the beginning, but I have ~arn d a lot.

The ninth grade team started the season with a tie to Lewis Central. However, the frosh didn 't let their spirits fall, and they ended up with a 6-0-1 record for the season. The first game was a downer for the Falcons. Phil Graeve said, "We should have won agai nst Lewis Central, we just weren't prepared." Although the fres hmen tied the first game, they improved throughout the year. Graeve said, "We improved a lot by the end of the year. We had some injuries at first." Junior Varsity had a rougher road to travel than the freshman. With a small team, and some players moving up to varsity throughout the season, they had many obstacles to tackle. Sophomore Joe Ord II said, "The beginning was really hard." Although the beginning of the season l)roved to be a cha!Jenge, the team improved much by the last game. "We improved a lot even though we lost a lot of people to the varsity team," said Ord. The JV record was 2-5 . Both the ninth grade and the junior varsity teams did well this year, and continued the fine tradition of Falcon football.

Varsity Boys Basketball Falcons Fly High Copy Editor Rachel Olsen The 1995-96 season fo r the Falcons basketba ll team was a building time. The season was not what everyone expected, but was rather a time to learn. The Falcons faced many changes during the season. First of all the team started with very few return ing varsity players. Th is afffected the returning players, but at the same time managed to introduce younger players to the rea lity of varsity basketball. Senior Ben Koch said, "The fact that we had li ttle varsity Sports 60 experience returning was difficu lt." Junior Charli e Nanni said, " It was a rough year, but it was a good base for next year. " Instead of worry ing about the changes, Koch stated, "Coach Wettengel changed the program. You' ll see that as the years continue; the program is head ing in the right direction. " While some say the year was not what some wanted, senior Ne il Yeoman said, "The effort on the floor was worth the season we had."

Advertising Editor Johnna Hargens Staff Writer Meghan Beresford They have - a small number of participants, very little experience, and no court to play on! But despite the odds, the St. Albert boys and girls tennis teams worked together this year to become the best they could be -and had fun doing it. Competing for players with large group sports such as soccer and track isn ' t easy. Tennis attracts only a small number of students, many of whom have never even picked up a racket! Sophomore Ashley Arnold was one of the newcomers. Commenting on learning the sport, she says "It's a lot of fun, but it's so much harder than people think." At the other end of the spectrum, Junior Heather Johnson is a seasoned three year veteran. She also acknowledges that the season can be difficult for the less experienced players. "Court time is limited , but needed." she notes. Sophomore Kelly Harrington provided an optimistic summary of the '96 season: "Our team improved a lot this year with experience." The girls commented on the work of coac hes Jonna Andersen and Jan Dahlgaard, both Above: of whom are new to the program. Says Andersen of the team: "I think they ' ve got a lot of potential. We don ' t have any seniors, so the team can grow together. This may have been our best season in a long, long time. " Ironically, the boys tennis team also acquired a new coach this year- Sam Karr. And they, like their female counterparts, pride themselves on the work they put into the season. Junior Marc Petersen cites "a lot of talent" and " team unity" as the teams' main strong points. "We're pretty good," he says, "Tough to beat." Petersen also claims that this years' younger team, which includes only two seniors, will be at an advantage in the near future. "Other school will lose a lot of good players. We aren ' t affected as much." The boys work hard and hope to achieve greatness in the future, but for now, they're content to have a blast. As for the overal I season, Junior Ken Graeve sums it up: "We' re the greatest, but we lose a lot." Graeve attributes all losses not to lack of talent, but to too many prematch tacos at Jonesys. The boys would also like to thank Sam Karr for his time and effort. Congrats to both teams on a fun and exciting season, and keep swingin ' !

Students are the center of the school, but it's the faculty and staff that make St. Albert go around. Teachers devote much of their time to helping out students. They are seen in the mornings and the afternoons tutoring their students, always offering to give up their spare time to help the students to better understand their classes. Many students fee l that if they didn 't get the extra help from teachers, their grades wouldn't be as good. Senior Anne Burgett said, "Mrs. Swartz always helps me with calculus, if she didn' t help me, I would never understand it". Everyone has had some good and bad times with their teachers, but at St. Albert the only times we have are the good ones.

For a month and a half the ' juniors spent much of their time selling pizzas and pies in hopes of a great prom. Their strong dedication paid off in the end when they sold l 059 items. Previous to the selling. the juniors set a goal of $3500. The juniors worked very hard and exceeded their goal, which created a glorious prom for all.

Tomorrow • • • today will be the past Meghan Beresford Staff Writer As the school year closed, high school students look forward to the three months of fun and relaxation alloted every year that they call summer, but there was one group of55 students who were looking forward to much more than that. The Class of 1996 had their whole lives ahead of them. And on Sunday, May 26th, 1996, they underwent the ultimate transformation- from Seniors in green caps and gowns to proud high school graduates. Graduation opened with the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance", played by the St. Albert Band and directed by Carter Leeka. The invocation was presented by Seniors Allison Arnold and Jodie Friedrichsen. Senior Class president Lizzie Gorman welcomed the graduating class and those there to support them to the ceremony. Valedictorians Anthony Fischer, Benj amin Koch and Cathy McClellan presented "A Look Ahead", giving their speeches. The Senior Ensemble, directed by Kendra Stephany, sang "Mem'ries". Principal Marilyn Wandersee presented the graduates to Bishop Charron and Jon L. Narmi, who awarded diplomas. Sister Jude Fitzpatrick, Superintendent of Des Moines Diocese schools, honored the graduates with remarks about life and their bright futures. Principal Wandersee then awarded the Spirit of St. Albert Award to Lindy Andersen and Benjamin Koch. This award is given to one boy and one girl chosen by the graduating class as the best representatives of the true spirit of St. Albert. Fr. Phil Kruse also awarded the St. Albert Award to Virginia Carberry and Sondie Green for outstanding service to the SA community. Kruse also announced the dedication of our football fie ld to Al Leber. a man who has been instrumental in building the last 30 years of Falcon footbal l tradition. The field has been christened "Al Leber Field" . Reverend Bishop Charron offered closing remarks and a blessing, and the Class of 1996 was present d by Marilyn Wandersee to the assembly for the first time, not as students, but as what they had worked their whole life to be .. . . Graduates. Class Motto: Tomorrow, today will be the past. Live and make each moment Last. The yesterdays and todays we 'll never fo rget. I pray the tomorrows we ·11 never regret.

They did it again! The 1996 Falcon Baseball Team took the Di vision 2A State Champion Title, blowing away schools all across the state who had never heard of St. Albert as well as SA students themselves. The boys, who were state qualifiers in 1995, decided as a team that their season goal was to reach the state tournament in Marshalltown again. The hope of wi nning the tournament was just a speck on the hori zon- but it was enough. The Falcons started the ir year off moderately, despite the hard work and dedi cation. Then, slowly, the ir efforts began to pay off. The team "clicked", with the ir game building to acrescendo at the State Tournament. ln the ir first round matchup against Osage, the Falcon team smoothly slid by. And in the Above: The Falcons huddle for a team prayer following the game. Above: The Falcon fans cheer on the baseball team at the semifinal game against Dyersville Beckman. Left: Dean Gray encourages fellow teammmate Eric Janecek during the Sioux Central, Sioux Rapids game. Right: Eric Janecek hurls another deadly pitch in the semi-final game. semifinal round, the boys crushed Sioux Central, Sioux Rapids. In the Championship game, pressure mounted as Eric Janecek took the mound. These boys handled it well. The Falcons dominated the whole game, proving that the underdogs can come out on top. And that spirited message will not be forgotten. When the players have graduated and the celebrations are over, the banner will still hang in the gym, the trophy will beam out of its case, and the memory of the team that went in as underdogs and came out as champions will always linger in our minds. CONGRATS 1996 FALCONS ON A SUCCESSFUL YEAR! Congratulations State Champions Above: Above: The Falcons shake hands with the opposing team, Sioux Central Sioux Rapids, after the semi-final victory.

This book is filled with the pictures and narrative of a year in the life of the institution we call St. Albeit. We have attempted to tell the story of this year. While it is impossible to capture the events, emotions, and energy of an entire year in 122 pages, we hope that this book will serve as a brief reminder of all that the year of 1995-1996 brought to the community of St. Albert. Each hallway, each classroom, and each space in this building carries the echoes of voices gone before. Each desk has served as a seat of learning for a student. Each pew in our chapel has served as a place for prayer. Our voices_ now become part of this legendary song. All legends have a beginning. All students have a start somewhere. The following two pages are a glimpse into that beginning, the promise and joy of childhood. These glimpses of the SA senior class of 1996 remind us of the joy and energy brought to the task of becoming a legend. And they also remind us of how far we have come, and how far we have yet to go. May the joy of our youth, expressed on these pages, never die! 119 Student Life Student Life 120 121 Student Life BEST WISHES to the Class of 1996 Saint Albert High School Administration, Faculty, and Staff St. Albert Jr. Sr. High School 400 Gleason Avenue Council Bluffs, Iowa 51503 (712) 328-2316 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Each of us are on our own special road and for studen ts at Saint Albert each grade is a new road to follow/ with little detours and surprises along the way. The freshmen "can/t wait to get on the road again" because they/re looking forward to iver~ licenses and their own cars. The sophomores are anxiously awaiting their junior year and prom/ because "The life they love is making music with their friends." The juniors/ "like a band of gypsies we go down the highway// wait their senior year and future plans. With the seniors graduating and going on to college/ "goin/ places that they/ve never been/ seein / things that they may never see again/" expresses their feelings. We feel "On the Road Again " fits the life at Saint Albert High School now and even after the old high school days are over because our whole life is like a road. The people we meet are like the towns along the way and everyone will surely have a few detours/ dead ends/ and no passing zones along the way. But if we keep this in our thoughts/ "We/re the best of friends/ and insisting that the world keeps turnin/ our way/ and our way/" we/re sure each of us will reach our destination. 15 16 17 S+.

The 1980 frosh players were coached by Dick Wright and Fr. Michael O 'Meara. ]. V. Pulls Through Tough Season The junior varsity Falcon football team of 1980 pulled through a tough season this fall. The main cause of this could be due to the inexperience, yet strong determination, of the young team. The Falcons opened their season with a battle against Lewis Central. This opening game proved to be a hard start for the team as they lost 26-6. Although the team was accompanied by two more loss.es, they proved they had wh at it took in their game against Boystown. It was h ere that the Falcons rivaled to take a 6-0 lead, and finish ed with a score of 6-2 to win the game. This lone victory raised the young Falcon 's record to 1- 3 as they finished for the season. All in all, the j. v. squad gained valuable experience for their upcoming varsity season in 1981.

The 1980-81 Freshman Basketball team had a rough season. They only won one game, a 69-45 victory over Missouri Valley. Their record was not really a fair indication of the kind of team they were though. They were very new to the system and seemed rather unsure of themselves at times. As the year progresses, they started playing together and seemed more confident but they could not pull in another victory. Coach Rick Wahl basically started the same five throughout the season. These cagers were Mike Doran, Jay Pender, Pat Johnson, Paul Romano, and Mike Goebel. According to Coach Wahl, several others such as Matt Root, Kevin Wickham, Pat Geier, and Kris Rallis played key roles in the Falcon 's team concepts. the Frosh did not have a great season record wise, but they did gain valuable experience. Their hard work and experience gained does not show in their 1- 11 record, but it will in the years to come. (A bove) Pat John son looks up court for an outlet pass. J. V.

This year's Falcon cagers have re-written the Council Bluffs History books by posting the first undefeated season ever. Winning the conference tournament, the city title, and defeating six undefeated teams were among the highlights of this 22-1 season. Falcon opponents faced a very balanced and diversified attack. Using both ' ' a controlled offense and a running game the SA cagers had little problem ,•, with opposing defenses. On the other hand, the multiple Falcon defenses and full court presses limited their opponents to a very impressive 49 points a game. "A willingness to work and most of all the great fan support that is given", are some of the reasons Coach Ka vars gave for this year's excellent season. Coach "K" also stated that, "One of the biggest aspects of this team is their committment to each other and their unselfishness.,, There are many ingredients that go into a 22-1 season. Tradition, fan support, team unity, and a desire to win, are just a few of them. For to list all of the ingredients that are necessary, would be almost an impossible effort, and to put these together would even be more difficult but the Falcons achieved just that and more.

But just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a product by its label. Books and products are very much alike in the fact that they are not always what they seem to be. You have to open them up and discover what's inside in order to appreciate them. People are the same way, and for that reason we chose the idea of a pla1n label yearbook for our theme, not because we feel we are plain label people but because we are just the opposite. Just as the world is made up of different people who all have very different tastes and attitudes, so is St. Albert. When you look beyond the things that make us alike you find a very interesting and special group of people, all of whom have their own ideas and goals. If there is one thing that binds us together, it is the pride we have in each other, that feeling of oneness that is not easily equalled by others. St. Albert is a special place with special people and exists in a special atmosphere. Through its uniqueness it has established itself as an exception in the time of plain label thinking. • • • EE 0 • • 4' • • • • • • • ES • • ---- • • • .......... - 15 16 FRESHMAN LEARN THE ROPES (above, first row) Steve Plumme r, Tom Martin, Brian O sborne, Pete Book, Ken Masker, Jack Smith, Paul Stee nson, (second row) Je ff Alfi ers, Matt Wise, Joe Shaver, Mike Petratis, Andy Fischeer, Jeff 0 6 14 22 14 27 Freshmen Football Record Boys town Lewis Central Plattsmouth Missouri Valley Paul VI Edison 6 18 27 6 26 12 The Freshmen Falcons gained much needed experience with a slim 2-4 record .

Invitational. They were crowned 1A sectional champs. Although the Saintes were eliminated in the second round of the Regional by a tough Manning team, they had everything to be proud of. There were several outstanding seniors who led the squad. Jacquie Wiese was selected fourth team All-State (1A), first team all SW Iowa, first team All-City and first team AllConfe rence. Anne Rohling was selected Second team All-City and Honorable Mention All-Confere nce. Cilla Rew was a second team All-City choice.

Again, Star Fire performed in the Saint Albert gym playing many popular songs throughout the evening. Music by Starfire kept ~tudents dancing all night and the spotlight dance, dedicated to Homecoming King John Grund and Queen Michelle Burke, was the highlight of the evening. 31 32 Falcon Fans Explode With Spirit This year the class floats carried several different themes and some very different ideas.

You get the Saint Albert Drama Department's production of "Cheaper by the Dozen". The play, which takes place in the early 1920's, tells the story of the Gilbreth family, including all their trials and tribulations. We see the younger kids trying to persuade dad to let them have a dog, the older girls wanting to wear silk stockings, and mother trying to stay calm through all of it. The fact that the play was both funny and touching added variety to it, making it enjoyable to watch. Director Lin Holder helped to promote enthusiasm and professionalism among the cast which seemed to do quite alot for the overall production.

The 1981-82 Varsity Cheerleading squad contributed highly to the spirit of St. Albert.

They went down to the gym and introduced to the students. They then were taken to their classrooms. All morning, they talked on their specific careers. Being the success it was, it will probably soon be an annual event. n2) LJ 51 FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR FROSH (Bottom row) Beth Larsen, Mary Suden, LuAnn Fox, Lori Sundrup, Mary Jo Ryan , Bre nda Stokes, Jenn y Lehnen, Cathy Ce ase, Peg Lenihan, (Back row) Managers Michelle Corbaley and Donna Stivers, Kim Branstetter, DeAnna Gross, Pam Genere ux, Mary Johnson, Barb Simon, Alisa Range l, Kare n Vanderloo, anc Coach Deb Olson.

The group of girls which comprised the 1981-82 Saintes far . exceeded anyone's expectations, except maybe their own, as they produced the first twenty-win season in the history of the ·program. During the season th ey posted impressive victories over several Southwest Iowa Pow~rs, were undefeated in the city, and captured the Sioux City West Holiday Tournament. They also captured the attention and devotion of many people in the area. The Saintes used a balanced scoring attack and quick defense in exh ibiting their winning ways but more often than not it was their ability to perform in clutch situations that carried them to vi ctory. A heartbreaking loss in sectional finals put an end to the season and the high school careers of seven se niors. The unity, desire, and unselfishness among these seniors were key elements to the team's success. Their tal e nts will be missed but hopefu lly they have started a tradition which wi ll continue to grow in the years to come .

Their regular season consisted of a record of 7- 11. Many of the wins were over some tough teams including the team from Thomas Jefferson. The "game went into overti me and the Falcons proved to be the better team. Into the tournament time, the Falcons began to roll. They skimmed by a victory over Shenandoah and moved into a game with Atlantic. Atlantic had beat them in the regular se-ason. This time they didn't. They then moved into the final round of District play with Red Oak. Red Oak finally dominated the game but not until the final period. The Falcons were led by Chuck Schroer, who made the All-City first team. Steve Goebel made the All-City second team. The team was young and should be tough in years to come.

The team had "all the tools" and produced a 5-4 dual season, which included wins over Underwood, Kuemper, Mo. Valley, Paul VI, and West Harrison. Wrestlers with winning records were: Pete Lenihan (98;17-5), John Grund (119;15-5), Tom Pierson (126;14-5), Rick Grote (132;10-9), Mark McPartland (138;14-10) and Lance Herbert (145;12-10). Le nihan captured three tournament titl es including Audubon, Paul VI, and West Harrison. Pierson captured the Paul VI tournament title. Grote, McPartland, and Tony Allmo n were Champions at the N.C.C. Conference Tourname nt. Althoug h the Falcons didn't send a wrestler to districts, their tournament performances were outstanding. They fin - ished third in both the West Harrison and the Conference Tournament. Next year's team should promise as much as this year's, as only fo ur sen iors will be lost to graduation .

The highlight of the day was when the seniors did their version of the history of rock and roll. The big finale of that was their rendition of "Grease Lightnil'}g". The se nior girls did their own song, "The Twelve Days of Demerits". It proved e nlightening. The big act of the day was a surprise act by the senior boys to an AC/DC song.

The "Big H ill ", as students fondl y ca ll it, or G leaso n Ave nu e , as the public road is na med, has its adva ntages. A big reason athl e ti c teams do well he re is because o f the conditioning fac tors t he incline gives. Track, foo tba ll, cross country, and volleyba ll tea ms were "on top or' their seasons due to the fitn ess that wa s ea rn e d thr o u g h "doing hills." " Running hills in volleyball really he lps us physically - our fitness improves by sprinting hills and kee ps us a lert and ready to move on the court, ' · says Chez Rohling , senior sette r a nd MVP of the 1983 volleyball te am .

What are some of the various reasons for students working? l) To save for future use (college or buying a car). 2) Basic necessities (clothing, going out, and gas). 3) Helping out with family financial situations (tuition). 4) Gifts for others. There a re drawbacks to holding down a job. They are: I) Less spare time to go out. 2) Hard to keep grades up. 3) Interferes with extra-curricular activities.

Oh well, sometimes it ought to! ]'lovember 4-6, the weekend of the fall production of "You Can't Take It With You," proved to be an extremely nervewracking time and a great learning experience for all of the cast and crew involved. Opening night started out like any other opening night on the St. Albert stage, but a little time and a lot of bad luck soon changed that. To start things off, a fuse was blown out and the sound was lost. That wasn't so bad; the problem was easily handled by the calm and collected group. But tension rose during the third act when Mary Johnson missed an entrance and none of the on-stage characters knew why. The experienced seniors took control and soon had the show back on its feet when they discov24/ You Can 't Take It With You The Cast (In Order of Appearance) Penny Muffy Sycamore .............. .... .........

Director Lin Holder was extremely proud of the club for recovering so well and for making the accident seem like a rea l part of the show. The show itself was about a slightly a bnormal family whose youngest da ughter wanted to marry into a rich well-todo New York family. At first it seemed impossible that the families would ever unite, but through the help of Grandpa (Paul Diblasi) and several of the Sycamore family's visitors, the families could even become friends. The basic point of the show was that wea lth a nd socia l sta tus are not always the most important things in life.

Journalism made over 600 dollars this year by hosting several record dances after football and basketball games. , Journalism also put on the Christmas dance, which, despite its postponement to January, was a smashing success.

Danccs/ n Winter Play Chills Audiences 'fhe 1984 winter play, "Murder On Center Stage," proved to be a real challenge for everyone involved. In the play, the technical aspects of a production, such as lighting and sound, are a big part of the story. This made things difficult for the tech crew, because of limited equipment in the lighting and sound system of the S.A. stage. Nevertheless, the show beca me a success, in spite of weather and illnesses holding up progress. Audiences watched the story unfold of a group of college students becoming trapped in their theatre after a rehea rsa l. While trying to find a way out, they learn about a deranged janitor who is seeking revenge for having his acting dreams shattered twenty-five years before. "Murder" was also performed as a one-act play at the district speech contest, where it received a II rating.

Valentine's Day comes but once a year and everyone knows that day is February 14th. And just like every year Cupid's arrow struck the hearts of the St. Albert students. Over 1200 flowers and valentine's were sent, most of them red. Love was in the air and smiles could be seen in every classroom as cheerleaders ha nded out dozens of ca rna tions.

Hopefully, our different liturgies do that. " ... Father Kruse Masses this yea r each had their own specialness and the themes and homilies pointed that out. Students gathered together to share and celebrate the different occasions for which we had the masses. In the opening mass, students 7-12 heard of the importance of starting over. The other masses also went well but a particularly unique one was the one held for Linda Sundrup, where students and some faculty , with Father Kruse , prayed for God 's guidance during Linda 's illness. Individual class masses went well,' and the religion depa rtment, being On Top of Things, plans to have more smaller gatherings to ensure greater class unity and meaning.

As the couples walked in they were greeted by the sophomore hosts and hostesses and were given Hawai ~n leis and punk glasses. The gym was filled with faculty, the biggest turnout ever of parents, and almost 200 excited juniors and seniors. Music was played by the band ltchee Brother, who had a little help from Paul Diblasi and Jeff Book doing their ZZ Top impressions. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom Queen and King, Jean Carlson and Dave Caparelli. The 1984 Prom Court consisted of: Tony Allmon and Amy Porter, Jackie Burke and John Gard, Tom McVey and Gina Jabro, Fred Roane and Kim Branstetter, and Tom Oberdin and Chris Jeffrey. The dance was over, but the festivities had just begun. Everyone went to the Rolla Rena to roller skate. After skating until about 3:00, people decided to move on to better things: bowling. After bowling, the Promgoers went their sepa rate ways, going out to breakfast or home to sleep. Jay Pender seems to be sayi ng, "No pictures, please" as he enters Prom with date Trudy.

The show was picked because it was funny, easygoing, and exactly the opposite of last yea r's show, " Gods pell." The show was almost like an episode of the " Love Boat": boy meets girl, loses girl, and gets girl back again. Billy Crocker, the man in love, is willing to do anything possible to get his girl, Hope, back again. Sir Evelyn is Hope's fiance when they boa rd the ship, but he ends up ma rrying Reno Sweeney, who succeeds in luring Evelyn away from Hope . Moonface Martin and Bonnie board the ship incognito but they're a ctually crooks trying to skip the border. They get involved with the whole deal and make matters even more humorous. Jn the end, everyone ends up with someone different; after all, "Anything Goes!" The passengers and crew ga ther to sing "Anything Goes."

Graduation was held in the gym on Wednesday, May 23rd, and was, to those high suffering seniors, the end of their high school years but the start of something better yet to come.

Few Groups but Active Although S.A. doesn't have many organizations, the groups tha t did exist this year were noticed through their involvement in school activities. Student Council was able to achieve many things this year. Under their leadership the student body functioned very well. National Honor Society had its traditional Induction Day in the spring, and sponsored other activities such as Leadership Day, the Faculty-Senior volleyball game, and giving a scholarship to a graduating senior. In the music department, Chorus members worked hard to sing for school masses and other events. Les Musiques was a lso busy, singing at school masses, churches, and other community gatherings. Under the new direction of Marcia Johnson, the group's size dwindl ed considerably during the yea r but still sounded great. And that brings us to the St. Albert Band . Though small, it does exist and does its best to add a touch of class to athletic events, pep rallies, and school masses. Thanks to a few dedicated members, we are able to have live music a t these events. The members deserve recognition for a ll their ha rd work and dedication. . ,1. "'. Ii{~. ~I .

Though maligned by some of the students due to a Jack of accomplishments, they in reality did quite a number of things. They used their infinite knowledge to decide a good use for the money raised by the magazine drive. The funds were pumped into the locker rooms, such as locker repairs. Among other things pulled off were of great magnitude include these: An intramural basketball league was organized that proved to be a rousing success, with the winners receiving some nifty T-shirts; a nicely constructed suggestion box for the students was placed in the office so it would be available to everyone; and in an innovative move Student Council arranged for a few students to attend Marquette High School in West Point, Nebraska, for a few days. Student Council does, in fact, serve a purpose. Without the Student Council, a vital link in communicating with the people higher up would be missing.

Porn Pon/ 67 Squads Build Up Spirit The Cheerleading Season began on March 17 of last year ( 1983) with tryouts and the announcement of the new squad members. The first order of business was to pick out the new uniforms and to decide the captains for football, wrestling, and boys' and girls' basketball. Beginning June 3, the Varsity girls were up on the hill at 7:00 every morning to learn new cheers and improve on old Pam Genereux plays "cupid" as she sorts through valentines.

They were not only getting ready for the coming school year with the ga mes, pep rallies, an d making spirit signs, but a lso for the I.C.F. (I nternationa l Cheerleading Foundation) Camp, which was held at Iowa State University in Ames during mid-July, the 17th th ru the 20th . After all of their hard work, the girls were ready for camp. Off they went to spend four days learning new things about the activity they had undertaken fo r the coming year. The squad had a successful camp session bringing home the spirit stick and ma ny other ribbons and awards of excellence. They were Grand Champion Fina lists a nd won the Super Spirit pin. W ith the new season , came new cha nges. The sponsor, Konnie Weigma n, started a three year rotation of school owned uniforms. Mrs. Weigman hand -made the girls' skirts, which helped reduce the cost of uniforms for the Cheerleaders, yet the girls still have many other expenses. Another change which was added was a pep club, not only for sports, but for all activities, such as plays, musical and Les Musiques. Throughout the year, the Cheerleaders have many fundraisers. During the summer, the squads took turns running the baseball concession stand, before the big games they sell spirit buttons, and they can always be found selling flowers and valentines near February 14th. There is a lot of hard work involved, which many people don't realize. Many hours are spent practicing and doing things for the school and athletes. They come to all of the games, serve at athletic banquets, make signs, decorate halls and lockers, and bake for various teams.

T he Fa lcons pulled off a stu nning vic tory aga inst city riva l A brah am Lincoln during the mid-season . The game was such a trounce tha t some sour grape A .L. fa ns had th e ga ll to th row a whole, raw slimy fish ac ross th e n oor to our side a t ha lf-time. This, combined wi th the twenty point defea t of the Lynx, made th is game the high point of the season. In fa ct, the Fa lcons had ma ny high points, but not ma ny wins. They ra n with Ca rroll Kuemper, a much ta ller a nd more ta lented team, but came up a fi ve point loser to the fi fth rated team in the state . During the year, they faced a total of six a ll-sta te selections, along with the fa ct t ha t their opponents usually stood from five to nine inches taller than the scrappy Fa lcons. Also against the Falcons was lack of experience . Although they had ten seniors on the team, the only one who saw much action the year before was guard Jay Pender. This "green " team could be a reason why the Falcons dropped three games by two points or less per game a t the begi nning of the season. However - they never gave up. Says junior Steve Plummer, "We gave every game our best effort, and if the ball had bounced our way a couple of times, we might have come out with a winning record. Now we have to look toward next season, and I feel that we can be a pretty good team." The team faired well against city competition, winning two games out of four, with wins over Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. They closed out the season with a nother tough battle with Red Oak. This time, superior height and depth on the bench, along with the typical boisterous home crowd at Red Oak, finished the Falcons 67-53.

Ba ·ketball/81 Saint es strive for • wins Senior Louise Rohling powers her way to the basket. Wins are not always counted as how many more points you score than your opponent. It is often what is gained, learned, and retained that constitutes a victory. Such was the case this year, as the Saintes had another season as the last - the losses out-numbering the wins. But some things just can't be counted when it comes to growing - and the time spent by this year's team was very valuable. One might look at the record - 5-16, a nd give all sorts of excuses. The point is, Seniors Jenny Moran and Diane Burdick attempt to get the ball to half-court. The team ga thers fo r festivities at the Ravlin residence. Ju nior Ba rb Simon applies defensive pressure to her guard. 82/ Basketball sta tistics a nd scores ca n't even compa re to fri endships, feelings, a nd a ttitudes - a ll a re immea urable. Ten of their losses came by ten points or less. Ma ny we re ve ry, very ha rd to swa llow. An importa nt note here was that they were a team, and they won a nd lost as a unit. It was a team of friends a nd a ttitudes were good . However, it is very ha rd to keep morale up when losses kept coming despite hard fought games. Against Underwood , a last second bomb from thirty feet gave the Saintes their 15th loss. At Abra ha m Lincoln , the Sa intes lost by one po int a fter a ttempting a last second shot. Shelby-Tenna nt won a ft er a technica l fo ul was assessed to our bench with eight econds left in the game a nd their free -th row was good, a nd they won by one point. This is onl y a sampling of the frustra ti ons these Sa intes felt. To try your ha rdest, they say, is the greatest rewa rd , grea ter tha n victory. But in a seaso n like this one, that line is difficult to bu y. ln a way, the whole season was like the last seconds of the game - frustrating, exciting, disappointing, a nd gone entirely too fast. Seniors composed threefo urths of the team, a nd their leadership, tac t, and poise helped the team through the tough times. Their spirit was the glue that held together temperaments and feelings.

Library/ Resource Room Although resources are limited, definite strides in equipment were made with the addition of computers to these rooms of learning and study. Next in line to buy is compuer add-ons - specifically - printers. This expensive piece of machinery will diversify these rooms and will be used by teachers and students as well. A library activity that everyone engaged in was the saving of Goodrich bottle caps. Not enough were saved to turn in for a computer, but the effort and participation of the parents made them feel like a part of things. Of course , new encyclopedias and books have been added as they are every year, improving the library. Ac.:ac..lern ic.:si 107 Art/ P.E.

Students were more likely to wear parachute pants or coaches pants on Grub Days than the traditional jeans. It was the year of Principal Lackowski's resignation and later the resignation of Vice-Principal Logsdon, effective the following school year. lt was the year of qualifying for state, as the boys' and girls' Cross Country teams both competed at state. Tom Allmon went to state in wrestling. May brought the hope that some spring sports would qualify for state, as tennis and track teams continued to win matches and meets. It was the year of "' You Can't Take It With You .. , "' Murder on Cento.:r Stage" and ··Anything Goes". It was the year of the number one Brain Bowl team , and of the Journalism awards for some members of the DIMENSIONS and ACC!PlTER staffs.

' .. . ; 1985 Dimensions Vo/urne XIX St. Albert Catholic High Schoo/ 400 Gleason A tre. Council Bluffs, ~ lo~a s1so1 New Ideas Crash • • • '• 1n 1st Day • My eyes flew open in disbelief. Our school has been overrun with grubs I thought. Walking in the front door, I saw herds of girls in crisp gray skirts checking out the guys on the first day of school. Only at closer scrutiny did I realize that the new gray / blue skirts were worri by the high school girls, while junior high had a smaller blue/ white/ gray version. Some seniors decided to wear the old green uniforms for their last year at S.A. After this shocker, I walked to where the seniors locker. Again, this special area in the l 00 wing was occupied by ninth graders. I looked at my little yellow paper with the locker number and combination on it, 624. That's the 500 wing . I guess all the high school students ( l 0, l I, I 2) are I in the 500 wing while junior high (7, 8, 9) are in the l 00 wing together. Walking to my first hour class, I met new, strange faces. Who's the grump with the glasses in the conservative navy suit? The tall lady in sweats and tennis shoes looks athletic - perhaps the new P.E. teacher? out of his dad's her, a Neola farmr take in a load of Varsity girls' basketball received new a way uniforms, with no sleeves and no huge collars. Senior Barb Simon holds the ball awa y from A.L.'s Jill McManigal at C.B. Fieldhouse . Working with the new computer and printer is senior Lisa Nordstrom. Students had the opportunity to work with the new printer to try different things with it. At the first annua l Pep Assembly, band members in their new uniforms and visors wait with the drums for their turn. Theme/ 3 ... Scatter Changes Thru the Year being at school from 04 on or forfeit the night's activities; defined probation/ suspension periods with limited probation and full probation preceeding in-school suspension and out-of-school suspension; and the quote "Dressing TOWARD the school spirit of the code . On a cold, windy, winter day, imagine how students interpreted THAT ONE! Finally - luncbtime . My classes and choices ha ve changed so much since last year. I KNOW that the food some seniors di faculty for the ible rims w ere i couldn't have changed that much! The cafeteria looks different, though . New tables donated by the St. Francis Alumni Association, added to the "atmosphere," and were arranged in a unique way . A new head cook, too, and a new maintenance man, with a beeper for emer- . gency calls - also new. My first day at school was full of surprises. In fact, the whole year went that way. Seniors were surprised to find privileges taken away, such as open campus during semester fina ls. Juniors were shocked their candy sales went so well. Change was either "good or bad," but mostly "different." In this year of change and turmoil, some students resisted, others moaned, but eventually, all got used to them. Like a pair of new, stiff leather shoes, the changes were "broken in" by the students and later the changes were found to be comfortable and used . 1981 Juniors and sophomores sit and eat at the new cafeteria tables. The tables were donated by the St. Froncis Alumni association . Tony Jaworski is the new assistant principal. He replaced the resigned vice-principa l Greg Logsdon, but Jaworski prefers the title "assista nt principal." George Kippley, new band instructor, finally ga ve the band some respect with his spunky spirit. Here, Kippley leads the band at a performance at the Middle School. Junior Fred Grote displays the new wrestling uniform at the L.C. dual meet. : I Theme/7 Three Months of Freedom School's out for the summer! Three months of freedom before school bells ring in the fall best defines summer vacation. Some cruised Broadway or shopped at the Westroads and the Mall or caught some rays in the back yard. Trips were taken . rhirteen students went to Europe, and were chaperoned by Fr. Phil Kruse . "It is still ex citing to think about that opportunity and to look at pictures," said Kruse . l 0/Summe r Vocations Pom-pon and cheerleading squads went to camps at Iowa State University.

Summer Vacations/ 11 An Elite Group With a Touch of Daring While most people prefer Burger King, going to parties and watching movies on weekends, another group would rather sit in parking lots - waiting for a challenge to race and cruise Broadway - racing up and down the streets. Many people call them Parking Lot Logs or cruisers, but they think of thems!'?lves as an elite group. "It's like a hobby - to be faster than everyone else, to accept every challenge and to take that challenge as if it was your last one," 14/Cruise rs said seniors Don Hoffman and Tom Allmon. Along with racing comes a lot of responsibility. The upkeep of the car - the tires, engines, and gas - usually has the person in debt or nearly being broke, but it does have its advantages. Junior Phil Gillett said, "I made a$ l 000 when I sold my 70 Chevelle . I sold it for $3,900 and bought it for $2,900. I hope to buy a nicer car in the spring - twice as fast." Another responsibility of the race is the sa fety of others not directly involved. Most races take place on a deserted road or interstate - away from public travel. Many people wonder why they do it. " Because it is a natural high. It makes you feel good even if you lose because you gave it your all and it gives you the hope of building another engine that is faster and stronger than the one before," said Hoffman.

"Get out of town? Weekends? Fo r tne, there's no special time . My weekends last 7 days a week," said senior Karl Birusingh. Students at St . Albert de f ine "weekend" in different ways. For some, it means 48 hours of nonstop parties. To others, it means several hours on the job . Anyway you look at it, a weekend is a time to have fun . "Weekend is a time to forget about school and just ha ve fun with your friends, " said junior Anne Olsen. Weekends/ l 7 Activities Alter Hours "Hi! May I help you? . . . Your total is $19.85." Approximately 60 % of S.A. high school students worked part-time during the 1984-85 school year. Many students were in many activities: athletics, clubs, drama, etc. besides having jobs at e same time. Senior Chris Jeffrey said, "I find it very hard to hold my job and be in school, to o. It seems that I work on nights l~/ k when I have a lot of e verything to do." A good deal of organization is needed to succeed at both school and work . Senior Mike Platt do esn't have that problem - he sets his own hours. "I like being custodian a t Salern Methodist Church . . . I can set hours around my school work," said Platt. Other students fee l a job is necessary. " Work is more important to me because I get p aid for my time," said senio r Mi c he lle Tighe . Tighe also warns of the dangers of working to o hard . " Whe n I had two jobs . . . it was impossible to keep up in s chool, so I came to schoo l to sleep. I think the faculty sho uld be more lenie nt with homework for working students," she added.

Students enjoyed traditional events as Prom, and holiday and record dances, as seniors had Baccalaureate and graduation, but not a senior trip. All students appreciated the seasonal plays, and cast members of the winter production "The Curious Savage" performed at the state group competition after receiving a I (superior) rating at districts. They also performed on their home stage "The Sound of Music," which included junior high students for the first time in some years. Though the number of special events were few, students were grateful for them to break routine weeks and fill spare time preparing for them.

Since the week before, rumors had come out that students might not have a Wild-n-Crazy day or Hawaiian day. Then there was the changing of our theme . First it was, "We're not gonna take it," but when the theme was presented to Dr. A vise and Mr. Jaworski, they rejected it because of the negative tone . So the students had to switch to, "We're so excited." Another main facto r was the damp weather which almost took ove r the whole week, changing the location of the pep rall y, usuall y held outdoors, into the gym. But in spite of all the problems, St. Albert's Homecoming finally came through and after much debate among the student council, the events of the week were organized. Senior boys Sid Edelbrock , Bo b Watkins, Brian Osb o rn e, Mike Raes, Terri O'Grady, Jeff Schmitz, Pet e Book, Mike Petratis, and Dom Catania show style and uniqueness building their pyramid at Thursday night's Pep Rally. The week began with the seventh thro ugh eleventh graders having t heir pictures token, while the seniors arrived we aring green and gold. The students, on Tuesday, went traditional and dressed Wild-n-Crozy. On Octo ber 17, probably the coldest day of the week, students decked out in shorts and sandals for Hawaiian day. Thursday, students tried something new - nerd day, where students exposed their "true" selves. Remember walking down the hall and running into a nerd on a tricycle carrying all his encyclopedias? This undercover nerd was senior Brod Jeffrey. Then later, seeing this man with greased bock hair and realizing it wasn't a man at all but junior Su Niebur. Mr. and Mrs. Nerd were voted on during the day and announced that night at the pep rally. Seniors Mike Fischer and Brod Jeffery were chosen Mr. Nerds and junior Su Niebur was chosen Mrs. Nerd.

During the Moss, he e xplained how Homecoming is not just for high school students but for the graduates coming bock.

At the pep rally, all the events took place except for the showing of the floats . There were traditional games like class pyramid building, obstacle course, and guys (or were they girls?) swimsuit contest. A few new games were added, such as students racing to put on a pile of clothes while blindfolded, and a marshmallow eating contest. Stu· dents seemed to like having the rally in the gym, and, like senior Debbie Brockelsby said, "I liked having it in· side better because it was easier to see and hear things going on." The moment finally arrived when the 1984 Homecoming court, which included seniors Kim Branstetter, Vannessa Hollinger, Gina Jabro, Chris Jeffrey, Jenny Poole, Ellen Sillik, Tom Allmon, Scott Green, Brad Jef· frey, Ken Masker, Tom Oberdin, and Football capta in Brion Osborne glares at junior Sue Hotz's o range hair. Fred Roane was announced. The excitement grew as juniors Vince Rew and Lynne Murray went out on the floor to crown 1984 Queen Ellen Sillik and King Tom Oberdin . "It happened so fast. We were just standing there, and all of a sudden, it was over. It was a real swe ll time," said Oberdin . Friday night was the highlight of the Fa lco n football season. Students packed the bleachers, each with a helium filled green or gold balloon, which was let go after the first St. Albert touchdown . Junior Jean Fo x "wished we could of held on to our balloons longer but was glad S.A. scored within the first minutes of the game ." During halftime of the game, students showed their floats, with the seniors winning "best float " contest, and court was again announced onto the football field.

Moggie A ntrobus (Kate McGinn) reveals the dreaded red stockings worn by her rebel dough28/"Skin of Our T eeth" As superstitions in theatre go, the play that is supposed to curse yo ur show and stage is "Macbeth". Every time this five-act pla y b y Shakespeare is done, it leaves a jin x on the theatre where it is rehearsed and performed . Someone was trying to add to the list of cursed plays at St. Albert where Thornton Wilder's "The Sk in of Our Teeth" was this year's fall production . It seemed unlikely that anyter Gladys (Beth Larsen) t o her asto nished husband, George (Doug Epperson). Gla dys was thing more cou ld go w ro ng d u ring the course of this show. T his play had a cast of o v er t wen ty, w ith about half o f th e a ctors being first-timers . It was hard eno ugh having to teach the ropes to a new bat ch o f ki ds, but midway through rehearsa ls the cast ran into bigger p roblems . Because of a personal probl em wi th the administration, Mike Mulvihill had to be ta k en out of th e sho w . t orn between being lik e her mother o r the urchin Sabino (M ory Jo hnson). Therefore, the rest of the moles in the cast had to be rearranged to fit the po rts. Wit h e ve ryo ne so busy learning new li nes a nd finding new costumes, it was a littl e to ugh getting the set done ; it wasn't done for the final dress rehea rsal, and it still wasn't done for the junior high matinee . Other than a few problems like LuAnn Fox and Beth Larsen losing • their voices and Kori Rohling and Mory Johnson injuring their ankles, the rest of the production went on fairly well. The crowds hod a lot of questions as they filed out. "Why we re they on on ark? What year were they in?" etc . The show was the history of the human race in three acts. It followed the Antrobus family through the invention of the wheel, Coin and Abel, the Ice Age, and the ark in the great flood . Although S.A . hos never done "Macbeth", probably an y cost member will tell you that they've come up with a superstition: Never do "The Skin of our Teeth~" Sabina (Mary Johnson) pleads with M rs. Antrobus (Kate McGinn) to let her go with the family on the ark to escape t he fatal hurricane.

The majority of students and teach ers here ore Catholic, but even though some ore not Catholic, all-schoo l liturgies and even early m o rning mosses in the chapel gi ve everyone the chance to come together as a unified community. Moss is also a time when students ca n get involved, whether it be helping to pion the liturgy, reading petitions, bringing up the Offertory gifts, or just by singing along with the Cho - rus durin g Moss. Many students become more involved in the musical port of Mosses this year by being a member of the newly formed Folk Group.

Approximately eight inches of snow hod blanketed the ground over night. "No school; No dance," Right? . . . Wrong . "Will there still be a Christmas dance?" was the question that remained in people's minds for several hours Friday morning. After many phone calls to Dr. Michael A vise, a decision was still not formalized. Dr. Av ise gave Miss Dione Guill and he r Journalism students permission to make the decision . Late that morning, the decision was fin a lized. There would still be a danc e. Many phone calls were mode and the word got around through friends and radio announcements. After Guill called seve ra l journalism students, the decorations crew was lined up for the afternoon. $90 wo rth of decorations we re torn dow n during the dance, making the decorations unable to be used for next year. Besides t he difficulty over whether to have the dance and the destruction of the decorations, other problems p lagued the dance . Complete Music was a half hour late, and although the photographer's background was up, Jack Holder was late because he had a wedding prior to the dance . During the dance, two cafeteria tables were broken, and Journalism students were held responsible for their repair or replacement. Later, the students who broke the tables confessed which freed Journalism from paying for the damage . Approximately 165 students attended the dance . It was a year of change, thanks to the weather. Journalism students and Guill were happy to have the dance, even though the weather was bad. What seemed to be a Christmas disaster turned out to be true to the dance's theme, "Christmas Paradise ." Seniors Kathy Horan, Jacque Ratigan, and Mary Jo Rya n enjoy a girls' night out. All three came stag to the dance. Students reenact a scene from "Animal House" to the song "Shout," minus the togas. As "Otis" sang more softly, people got closer to the floor. Then, "a little bit louder now" brought them back to jumping and singing .

This scene took place right after the last performance of "The Sound of Music" , this year's spring production . This musical was Holder's last show at St . Albert as well as her last high school pro duction . In her four ye ars of teaching and directing at S.A. , Holder and her drama students had be come very close. "I'm sorry to see Ms. Holder go. She was quite an asset to the St. Albert stage," said junior Theresa Book. For her final production, Holder chose the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, "The Sound of Music" . The show, set in Salzburg, Austria in the late 1930 's, was based on the true story of the von Trapp family. The father, a retired Navy captain (played by senior Dave Tobias), was reunited with his children by a would-be nun named Maria (played by senior Mary Johnson), who brought music back into their lives. The captain gave up his rich fiance, Baroness Schraeder (played by senior Kate McGinn) and Maria left the convent to the urging of the Mother Abbess (played by junior Laurie Nettles) so that the two Rolf (Jonathan Johnson) discovers Lies! <Barb Osborne) and her family -in -th~ garden as the Captain (Dave Tobias) and Maria (Mary ""-.

Once again Cupid's bows soar through the air. He's a good shot too. This year Valentine's Day was celebrated the usual way here at St. Albert. Everyone was happy and lovesick. You might say everyone was in the pink. Again this year the varsity cheerleaders peddled flowers around the school to students and faculty . The carnations could be purchased for $1 a piece with a message attached to it, just for your sweetheart. A white carnation represented a sincere friendship, pink, an innocent crush, and red the ultimate love. Valentines could also be bought for .50q: . The varsity cheerleaders sold over 900 carnations and numerous valentines. The cheerleaders worked hard that afternoon of February 14th. "I think delivering flowers was a lot of fun, and I'm really going to miss it nex t year," senior cheerleader Donna Stivers said. All of the varsity cheerleaders participated in the flower sale. "I feel it was a lot of hard w ork, but once I saw peoples' faces light up it was well worth it," junior cheerleader Connie Persinger said. Junior Alyce Russell prepares to attach a message to all the carnatio ns. Many people sent a different kind of valentine. They ordered balloonagrams. " I felt surprised and real embarrassed with everyone standing around me. It was a really neat feeling and this year was special for me because I got a balloonagram," senior Paul Steenson said. Kathy and Tom Horan also received balloonagra ms. They were signed by the Toothfairy, act ually the Horan' s mother. For now, it's time t o put away the red hearts for your f unny little valent ine.

Thoughts of fun in the sun ran through the minds of several seniors as they planned a senior skip day. Although some seniors planned separate activities, the majority of the class congregated at McDonald's for a hearty breakfast. From there they made a quick stop for refreshments and convoyed onward, led by senior Brad Jeffrey, for a day at the ---- lake . Upon arriving at Manawa, the group enjoyed themselves by playing football, frisbee, and even taking a dip in the ice cold water. The seniors also did their best at "soaking up the rays" and worrying about nothing more than having fun . For the S.A. seniors, their skip day wa s a ve ry positive thing . The atmosphe re wa s relaxed and open a s a ll cliques disappe ared and the class be- c ame whole again. "I had a great time! It was a chance for me to talk to classmates who I don't usually see during a school day," said senior Denise White. Those who remained at school did so fo r various reasons. Some stayed because of extracurricular commitments, othe rs stayed to insure no further hassles from the administration. "I was u nsure of what punishment would be - I heard everything from seven detentions to probation. Since I am in track I decided it wasn't worth it, because two unexcused absences means you're off the team," said senior Ken Masker. As for the day itself, tension between seniors and administration mounted, as everyone knew that the school bo.und seniors would either leave, or want to anyway.

Seniors Donna Stivers and her date Jeff Schmi.tz talk over their thoughts on Prom Court before coronation . "Jungle Love" Prom Court 1985. 44/ Prom The gym was transformed into a tropical jungle with palm trees and huts. A rainbow made out of balloons, streamers hanging from the ceiling, and murals along the bleachers helped to bring out the theme of the 1985 prom, "Jungle Love" . "I wish we'd had more time to decorate, but it turned out better than I thought it would," said junior class officer Gigi Varner. The band, Red Ball Jets, was hired for $800. People's o p inions of the band differed. "I thought the band was good but they too k too many breaks and didn't play enough of today's music . I wish they would have played our theme song, "Can't Fight This Feeling" (by R.E.O . Speedwagon). It would of made prom a lot more special," said junior Anne He nderson. Senior Brian Osborne said, " It was an all-right, all-around prom, except the band left something to be desire d ." The l 985 Prom Court consisted of seniors Gina Jabro, Ellen Sillik, Chris Jeffrey, Ken Masker, Fred Roane and Tom Oberdin. The juniors on court were Maria Papazian, Kim Mauer, Lynne Murray, Rex Romano, Fred Grot e and Vine~ Rew. Coronation was at 10:30 and Gina Jabro and Ken M asker were crowned Queen and King. "Being on court alone was neat, but when I got queen - now I'll always have something to remember my senior prom by," said Gina Jabro. Ken Masker said, "I was real surprised about being crowned king. It was something I'll never forget." After prom, most of the juniors and seniors went bowling and skating. "It (prom) was an experience, expecially going skating, 'catching the dots'!" said junior Lynne Murray. Roller skating may have been fun but it proved that it could be dangerous. Senior Brad Jeffrey chipped his teeth in a collision with fellow skater senior Tom McVey. "Roller Derby was a blast, with or without teeth," said Jeffrey. All in all, Prom 1985 was an exciting night, and a lot more than just a formal dance. Couples enjoy the festive music of "The Red Ball Jets".

White, Jobro , and Deonna Gross were the valedictorians of the class of '85. 48/Groduotion Excited n ervous seniors lined up accordi n~ to h eight, boys on t he right, girls on the left. The order was no different than past graduations, the emotions were the same as any group of young men and women going out into the world; but the individuals within that group of 77 were each outstandin g in his/ her own way. To prove their uniqueness, the class of '85 wanted their ceremony differ- ent - so they planned accordingly. The progra m format was contrary to pa st graduations - the speeches we re a ll mode before diplomas were g iven. The speeches themselves we re different, as the people giving them we re to o. Sr. Jude Fitzpatrick, the new superintendent of schools in the dio cese, ga ve her remarks for the first tim e at on S.A. graduation . Thre e seniors were top scholars in the class, so instead of separate Valedictorian and Salutatorian speeches, the three Valedictorians gave a combined talk about the years the class spent together. The music was semi-traditional - Pomp and Circumstance for the processional, yet a special drum solo during the song "Lady Madonna" (instead of the 1812 Overture) by senior Pot Pursell, and a recessional which surprised everyone e x pecting another band tune . In their last decision as a class, the seniors voted to hove a Kenny Loggins song played - "This Is It" - in place of the Morch Lamar as they walked out of the gym as alumni. After diplomas were presented, Dr. A vise gave the female Graduation/ 49 and male Spirit of St. Albert Award. This is perhaps the greatest honor for a graduating senior, as it is voted on by the class only . The recipients represent those who have given the most of themselves in symbolizing the best qualities of the class. This year's winners were Terry O'Grady and Barb Simon. SO/ Graduatio n Fr. Hurley then gave Del Murphy the St. Albert Award, another distinction for the adult who has given much of himself for the S.A. community. Following Bishop Dingman's farewell blessing, class president Simon went to the front for the grand finale of high school - the turning of the tassel. Right over to left, and it was over. A joyous bunch of graduates waltzed out of the gym linked arm in arm with their female / male partner: "This is it Make no mistake where you are You' re going no further Don't be a fool anymore The waiting is o ver .. .

Bloodmobile • arrives at St. Albert 52/Bloodmobile Along with all the jitters, tuxedo talk, and discussion of all-night plans that the Thursday before Prom usually brings, it also brought the bloodmobile to St. Albert. This was the second visit this year, the first being on October 2 . The first drive was set up in the actual mobile unit outside school, where t hirty-seve n pints of b lood we re do nated.

A lso , many athletes competing in events later t hat day. Even more disheartening was the fact that many students were ill and, if not at home, at school with colds, coughs, and flu bugs. These conditions led to seniors searching all morning with their pleas for donors. Amid t hose cancellations and def errals, however, biology teacher T erry Dolnic ek happily rolled up his sleeve for a pint donation, making him a five gallon lifetim e donor. Giving blood is an honorable service . There are always those in need of it . It isn't costly. It's anonymous giving, and it usually leaves donors feeling good about themselves. As he gives blood, Karl Birusingh relaxes and enjoys getting out of his morning classes. Senior Tom Horan is caught by surprise as the nurse sticks him with a needle.

Student Council Important Link This year the Student Council has done quite a number of things. It was in charge of homecoming and all its related activities, including the pep rally and dance . For Teacher Appreciation Day, it bought a cake which was given to the faculty at the end of the day. Student Co uncil has been and always will be an important link between students and faculty in order to get things accomplished. If problems should arise during the school yea r, the y would be brought before the council and most of the time action wo uld be taken and the problem solved. President, Vice-President, Secreta ry, and Treasurer of each class we re voted on at the end of last school year and the two Representatives were voted on at the beginning of this ye ar. There are six students on the council from eve ry class, a nd the advisor, Wayne Maclearn, schedules meetings throughout the year to de cide on various matters with them.

Induction ceremony undergoes change March 27 brought with it unseasonable sunshine and a spring dressup day for the annual NHS inductions, a time-honored traditional day that diverted much from its familiar patterns. Firstly, the NHS induction ceremony was closed to the viewing of the entire student body and faculty, and was instead held privately, amid varied controversy. Secondly, t he chapel hosted the aft ernoon ceremony, honed into a prayer service blessed by Fr. Kruse . In previous years the ceremony was held in the gym. Still more changes : members were tapped in by senior members in the morning with the presentation of a carnation in their first period classes, instead of at the actual ceremony. Also, parents were not escort ed; they were already seated and wat ched the procession of inductees. Other NHS activities were the senior-faculty volleyball game, Leadership Doy, and sponsoring a $100 scholarship t o a college-bound graduating senior which was awarded to Shelly Corb aley.

"When I reali zed that SA hadn't maintained its charter with Q. and S., I was shock ed , an d ofter several letters to the secretory of Q . and S. and after filling out se veral form s, SA was reinstated," said Dione Guill, journalism advisor. A student must be in t he upper one-third of his class and be nominated by t he journ alism advisor. SA' s first members were initiated on Dec . 3 .

With an elevenmember Chorus this year, this motto stands out perfectly clear! The year started off on a go od note as the Music Department broke in a new choral and band director, Mr. George Kipple y, former instrumental director at Northwest High School in Omaha . "I love being able to work with quality kids, e xciting music, and an administration that cares," Kippley said . As the school year kicked off, the students and Kippley chose new music, and following tradi tio n, Chorus sang at school masses. Singing at the annual Open House was a new pe rformin g experience. On Dec. 16, the Christmas Concert went underway and was a big success. " I must say that this ye ar's Christmas Concert was the best we've ever had," said junior Theresa Book. With this year's concentration on dynamics, harmony, and singing in different languages, Chorus students had a better a nd more positive attitude toward their ma ny performances. Throughout the year, students were kept busy getting ready for co ncerts, clinics, or the State Music Contest.

He taught certain classes and assisted with others during January and February. Freshmen Jon Johnson, Chuck Thorn, and Joe Turn er perform an experiment in Physical Science.

To add to the working atmosphere, the journalism students hung all of their awards on the walls for others to see. They also decorated the skylights with colorful outlines of subjects important to them. Drama class consisted of 30 students this year. It seemed like a normal sized class but had a 9-1 ratio: nine girls to every one boy. "Since there were only three boys in our class, with 27 girls, it was kind of embarrassing to do 'make-up' in front of everyone!" said freshman Jon Larsen. In the area of speech, the transition from taking speech as sophomores to taking it as freshmen was made. Although students did the traditional speech assignments, they used their originality to make them seem different. Tina DeChant brought her ShihTzu dog named Sumi to demonstrate proper grooming.

I really enjoyed law in college and I think that it is very interesting course to teach," said Colpitts. The typing classes are learning word processing. But typing classes aren't the only ones on the computers; there is also the Data Processing class which had a new instructor this year, Scott Belt.

But some people just didn't take the time to notice how much the S.A. Guidance and Library departments have improved. This year the library has five new computers and had new tables and hairs. People also donated some used books over the summer, and some new books and a new paperback rack were added to the library. Librarian Mrs. Maryann Angeroth was pleased to see that more students took library science this year than eve r before . Besides th e improvements of this year, "the outlook for ne xt year looks goo d as well with the expecta nce of a new movi e p rojector, another new computer, a nd a new video tape machine," said Ange roth . A sofa, two chairs, tables a nd lamps were donated to the lib rary along with some hanging plants whic h h e lped to divide the table area fro m the bo o kshelves. Aside fro m th e library, the Guidan ce dep artment also did well. The school rece iv e d a $300.00 computer disc for the library's computer about various colleges and jobs. This ye ar also brought a great number o f seniors applying for college, for the class of 1985 was one of S.A.'s top-ranked classes.

In P.E. classes, bowling was added to the many · different activities that the students participate in. "It was fun . I really enjoyed going bowling because it was something different to do in P.E.," said junior Lori Phelps. The girls did such activities as field hock ey, archery, flog football, soccer, softball and of course, physical fitness tests . On the other hand, boys played football, softball, basketball, wrestling , volle yball, weight lifting and conditioning and archery. " Guys do a good job of participating. They enjoy being in it. We try to open the gym to seniors in study hall this year," said P.E. teacher Marshall Schichilone. Senior Denise W hite lines up her ball on the arrows and lets it loose.

While the upperclassmen were busy with their Bunsen burners, sophomores from St. Albert were being intraduced to the world of stop signs, signals, and the simulator in Driver Education classes. At the start of each semester a new crop of soon-to-be-liscensed drivers was subjected to the instructions of such memorable teachers as Mr. Worley, Mr. Forbes, and Mr. Stull. Taking a minute to get set far Calculus is senior Brad Jeffrey, while senior Denise White spends her time socializing. Dan Shaver's favorite part of Driver's Ed is spent in the simulator.

The Falcons used a stifling defense and a mistake free offense to post a 3 1-0 win and ra ise their record to 7-0. To most people , including the players, it was a surprise to be undefe a t ed after seven games. Lewis Central, Lemars, and Boystown were the first three games on the schedule, and all of them were tough . The ne xt fo ur games were Falcon wins. Then came their regular season finale against A.L. It was a tight game, as A.L. took a 14-7 lead into the fourth quarter. The fourth qua rter contained 5 TD's, fo ur turnovers, a muffed onside kick a nd five unsportsman-like conduct penalties.

Watching these outstanding, dedicated athletes was a team of smaller talent and fame, but equal in dedication. One week after the U.S. lost to China in the gold medal round to claim the silver, the Saint Albert Saintes started two-a-day workouts. Like last year, the Saintes and coach Kate Witte began official practi ces of condit ioning and drills one week before school started. Even before this, many varsity players prepared by going to camps during the summer. Three sophomores and five seniors w ent to week-long camps at the University of N orthern Iow a in July.

Well, Cooch John Shorey said, "It was another fun and memorable season . Both squads showed a lot of improvement and reached their potentia 1." These ore pretty modest statements considering he coached the best girls' team in Southwest Iowa and a promising young boys' team. The Falcons lost their top three runners to graduation, another to moving awa y, and were left with just two runners with varsity experience, only one of which was a letterman. Late in September, that letterman, sophomore Dan Simon, was lo st to a leg injury. Th e varsity was now down to freshman Tim Shea, sophomores Ken Fox and Ron Marshall, juniors Fred Grote and Ron Barszcz, usually finishing in that order.

In the background the buzzer sounded . At last the ball f ell through the hoop . Players jumped for joy; yet the prevailing feeling in the gym that night was dejection. Once again the Falcons had managed to lose a close ga me that could have easily been a win. This game happened to be a loss to Missouri Valley on a last second shot. Steve Plummer said, "We had a tendency to play down to the level of the opposition." This could possibly be attributed to the lack of experience on the team. Only fou r seniors were on the roste r: Plummer, Gene Cannon, Jack Smith and Paul St eenson, and of those only Plummer had seen any extensive varsity action. This gave ma ny of the younger players a lot of playing time . The t eam finished with an 8-12 record and lost to Red Oak in the first round of the play-offs for the third year in a row. But juniors Ed McGill and Jeff Shudak and sophomores Mark Heenan and La rry Ratigan saw a great deal of court action during the year.

The junior birds flew to a 14-0 record. Sophomores Dan Poole and John O'Connor led the team in scoring while Ron Marshall and Ken Fox led the war under the boards. Even with this talent the team couldn't have reached such heights without sixth man Kevin McGinn. Only once were the Falcons seriously tested during the sea son - that being in a contest against Fr.

Youth Doesn1 t 1 Break 1 Saintes With the resignation of assistant coach John Dalton in '84, three seniors, five lettermen, and one starter returning, and sophomores playing a large role in the season, the girls' basketball JV and varsity knew this season w ould be very different. Thrown in for added excitement was the games that would be played with 5-on-5 rules . Tom Lazure who in '84 was a junior high coach, ' came out of his short "retirement" to assume Dalton's position. A hard schedule, new coach, and little experience worked against t hem. But they never gave up. Inexperience needs only ex perience to cure itself, and t he Saintes took their lumps - winning only 2 of 22 games. One highlight of the season was a victory over Glenwood and a chance t o play in Vets' Auditorium, the site of the state tournament. With their hard work and determinat ion, the t eam matured - only to find itself playing its best games against e x cellent t ea ms - Harlan, Kuemper, and a 5-on-5 contest with Elkhorn. With any young t eam, there will be inconsistencies and weaknesses. Fortunately, t h e f utu re is always looking bright.

First year coa ch Tracy Leinen guided her freshmen to a 4-9 "A" team record, with a 2-5 record in 5 man rules; the "B" team finished 6- 1 overall, with three wins in 5-on-5. JVers struggled this year, as many of the members of last year's 9-2 frosh team played on the varsity, leaving small numbers o n the JV. Some JV Saintes also were playing "halfsies" - part-time JV and parttime varsity. This usua lly meant do uble practices, and two ga mes.

Senior Leaders; 4 to Districts, 1 to State As the clock wound down and the score stood at 7-5, St. Albert fans, coaches and To m Allmon realized that he had just advanced to the second round of the State Wrestling T ournament. After sending four seniors to districts, the first time ever for St. Albert, senior Tom Allmon ( 155 lbs.) once again qualified for the State Tournament. Allmon as a junior also qualified, but this year advanced to the second round of the tournament . He wa s defeated though, a nd ended with a record of 23-4. Seniors Bob Watkins (1 6 7 lbs.), Brian Osborne (HWT) and M ik e Raes (SHWT) were the remaining three to qualify for districts. Their records of 14-11, 7-6 and 9-8 respectively, represent the importance of the seniors this year. " Senior leadership was a big part of the team. Everyone looked up to them for support and knowledge, " said sophomore Matt Geier. The team ended up with a dual re cord of 2-8 . They were plague d with injury and illness all season. Individual goals and e xpe ctations of each wrestle r were met in different degrees. As t he clock wound down and the score stood at 18-3, the Falcon Wrestling team's season ended as a whole with Allmon being defeated at state. "We started out having fun. Had a good time in the middle and ended up with fun . I'm looking fo rward to next year," said head coach Dick Wright.

A Time For Change With the selection of the 1984-85 cheerleading squads came many changes ... like a new sponsor, no J.V. Squad, and resignations . The season started out with new Varsity and freshmen squads, but no J.V. squad. Why the change? There weren't enough girls that tried out to fill the positions of an eight girl J.V. squad and a twelve girl varsity squad. The decision was made to eliminate the J.V. squad and include the top ranking sophomore in the Varsity squad. Another change was starting out the year with a new sponsor, Mrs. Marilyn Leggio. Leggio brought with her many new changes and ideas. Leggio said, "I wish I had more time to devote to my job as sponsor. I feel a lot of changes are needed, and after working with it for a year, I feel the time is rig ht to make these changes." Early in the school year came senior captain Denise White's resignation, senior Donna Stivers was moved up to the captain's position and junior Cyndy Berriman was put in as co-captain. Alternate Anne Olsen replaced Den ise White . During the winter season came three more resignations, those of Mary Brotherton, Anne Olsen,,and Shell y Sondag. "Being a Varsity cheerleader is so much different than cheering m y freshman and J.V. years . It's so much different leading the crowd than just being one of the crowd. And even though we hit some rough spots, we pulled together," said junior Cyndy Berriman. Cheerleading/ l 15 116/ Pom Pon The squad shows its uniformity in perfecting another formation.

Pommers focus on new ideas It was 7:00 A.M. on a Monday morning as the 1984-85 Porn-Pon squad began to assemble in the parking lot of the St. Francis Worship Center. This year's Porn-Pon squad started their season with not only new members, but also a much awaited new uniform and a new sponsor, Miss Joan Green . After seven weeks of practice at the Worship Center the dedication and hard work of the pommers paid off. Their routine to "Head o ver Heels" was judged best at the NCA Porn-Pon Camp held in August at Iowa State University. Thirty pom-pon squads tota lin g 300 girls fro m throughout the state of Iowa competed for awards and trophies while the y le arne d new individua l and team ro utines.

Geiger was not the only Sainte setting records this season, howe ver. Senior Denise White broke the school l 00 meter hurdle s in a time of 15 .85 seconds, then classmate Chris Jeffrey broke it again, in 15.76.

But the highlight of the season was sending Ken Fox in the high jump and the 440 relay team of Scott Green, Vince Rew, Chris Fischer, and Rex Romano to Drake Relays in Des Moines. Although the Falcons did not place, the 440 relay team had a time of 46 .0, and Fox jumped 6'3". "It seems all the other teams were a lot tougher all around this year compared to last year," said junior Rex Romano. The state meet marked the culmi - nation of the track seasons, as both teams sent their qualifying members from districts - the Saintes on May 24 and 25, and the Falcons a week later. Geiger held the girls' best showing at state with a third place finish in the high jump, while Leggio was the top qualifier, enabling 'herself to be in three e vents . While Jeffrey qualified for state in the open l 00 hurdles, she didn't make the finals. Among the teams that made the trip were: the two m ile relay ( Stephanie Keefe, Barb Osborne, Jean Sillik, and Leggio); the district-winnin g m ile relay (Keefe, Smith, Joelle Corbaley, and Leggio) who placed seventh; and the shuttle hurdle relay, also placing seventh. On her own, Leggio finished eighth in her district-winning open 800 run. The guys sent the two mile relay team (Tom Martin, Dom Catania, Mike Fischer, and Ken Masker) who placed fifth in state, and district win - ners Green, Romano, Ter ry O'Grady, and Rew for the 880 relay, which placed seventh.

There were also many more younger girls on the JV, but most of their matches were rained out. Boys' tennis continued to grow not only in experience but also in size . 1985 is the first year under head coach Sterling West that S.A . was able to have a complete JV team.

Now in the spring of '85, 11 people return, 8 of them starters at one time or another, for a promising summer for the ex· perienced squad.

Other seniors are catcher Tom Martin, who hit .317, shortstop T o m McVey, who hit .3 2 7 , pit cher/ o utfielder Gene Cannon, and outfi e lder Tom Oberdin.

Will the real Matt Johnson please stand up? This is the story of Matt Johnson, I mean, Matt Johnson, I mean Matt Johnson the sophomore, not the freshman. Johnson ( 1 0) is a student here at St. Albert. His full name is Matthew Micheal Johnson. The other Johnson is also a student here. He is a Freshman. His full name is Mathew Craig Johnson. The name Johnson is a real common one. It probably always will be . The name Matthew is Biblical, so it is also common. Although it is ironic that the two names are put together, and the two students are t o gether in the same school. This is real confusing sometimes. For ex ample, even the attendance list can get complicated. " Somet imes if Mrs. Johnson calls in for her son and we forget to 132/ Features ask which Johnson, we have to hunt the name down so we can print it correctly on the attendance list," Lois Hemmingsen said . Could you imagine the confusion it would be, if you thought you heard someone talking about you; but it really wasn't you . "I overheard how much this ugly girl liked me and I did everything to avoid her. I was really embarrassed and relieved to find out that it was the other Matt Johnson," Johnson ( 10) said . One of Johnson's ( 1 0) hobbies is playing baseball . Well, this is true for Johnson (9) too. In fact they ended up on the same team one spring. "The coach would yell, 'Johnson up on deck,' and we'd both stand up," Johnson ( 10) said . Students Today; Servicemen Tomorrow After high school, everyone hopes to "be all that they can be." Three seniors at St. Albert, though, plan to take that advertising slogan seriously. During the summer of '85', Mike Platt, Tony Goeser, and Joe Shaver will each leave to go to his assigned place for basic training in one of the military services. Platt will leave for Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Tex as, on July 9, for basic training . He will be there for six weeks and then go to Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, for twelve weeks of tech school. Goeser, who is already participating in some Marine activities on the weekends, will leave for basic training in San Diego, California, sometime after graduation. He will be with the Brovo-Fox Company which is a motor transport troop. The Navy is where Shaver has chosen to spend his nex t eight years after graduation. He will leave for basic training in the Great Lakes of Michigan sometime in mid-September. All three men have their reasons for joining the services and leaving their lives and families in Council Bluffs . Platt claims his interest in the Air Force is due largely from his dad's influence. He is an Air Force veteran. Goeser was also influenced by his family . His brother is a Marine, but Goeser has also been involved with them for many years and knows that joining is the right step for him to tak e. "I didn't want to go to coll ege so I jo ined the Navy," said Shaver. Pre-M atch rituals motivates Allmon As the clock approaches thirty seconds in the second period of the one hundred and thirty-eight pound match, senior Tom Allmon, dressed in black sweats and a Mickey Mouse shirt, begins his warm-up. Stretching, wetting down his body, having his upper body joints cracked by his brother Dave Porter and mental preparation begins the many of Allmon's superstitions . Within thirty seconds of the one hundred and fifty-five pound match, Allmon, with his pink socks and green knee pad half off his left k nee, kneels and begins to pray. His name is called . He waits at the edge of the mat until his opponent steps on first. They approach the inner circle and he waits for his opponent to designate himself first. The referee says "shak e hands" and Allmon does so without glancing up . He then begins what can be called his 'technique' that has led him to be a two-time state qualifier in High School Division 2A. "I' m a very superstitious wrestler. My superstitions mean nothing to anybody else but me . The superstition that I believe in most is not actually a superstition - it's my belief in God," said Allmon . Allmon has been wrestling since he's been in the 5th grade . He took first in state freestyle in the summer of his sophomore year. This qualified him for a Zone Tournament. It consisted of the top two wrestlers of five area states competing against one another in which he placed second. At St . Albert, Allmon comprised a rec o rd of 65- l 3 on the varsity level. H e was a three ye ar letter w inner and as a senior, was captain of the wrestling team . He w as a two-time Centenni a l Conference Champ and p laced in the t o p three of every tournament as a varsity grappler. H e went o n and placed first both his junior and senior year at the sectional and district meet. "The kid I wrestled when I was a senior at districts was 27-1 and he already beat me in the Audobon Tournament. My record was only 23-3 and I beat him 7-4. It was the best match of my high school career," said Allmon . At the state tournament in Des Moines, Allmon, as a junior, was pinned in first round action. His senior year, he advanced to the second round where he was beaten . He missed a wrestleback when in the closing seconds of the match, McEowen from Cedar Rapids LaSalle (the wrestler who defeated Allmon) was taken down and gave up the match winning points to a three-time state place winner. Throughout Allmon's high school wrestling career, most of his technique and mental training were done through home training with his older brother, Tony . During his junior year, assistant coach Tim Pierson worked with him individually and taught him the attitude and the aggression for winning - not 1osing. " He taught me to be the mental t ype of wrestler that doesn't accept defeat," said Allmon . During his senior year, Tony went away to college and Pierson left for the marines. "My biggest mental barrier this year was not having Tony and Tim there . It affected me the whole season e x cept at the end when at least one, T o ny, was there," said Allmon . After graduation, Allmon plans to wrestle at University of Nebraska at Omaha and go into the field of criminal justice. His goal is t o be an AllAmerican (top eight in the nation) in Division II. "It's hard lea v ing high school's closeness of at hletics and go ing t o a school you don't even k now. Coach Denn y has m ade m e aware of what U .N .O . consist s of and what I have t o achieve and accom - plish alo ng wit h my person al goals," said Allmon. Features/ 133 F R E s A Freshman In Blue H M E What do you tell a kid who stands five feet tall, weighs 75 pounds and is sick of getting picked on by the class bullies? This is a question that the parents of freshman Hank Straka had to think about. They felt that something along the lines of self-defense might be the answer. The next thing he knew, Straka was enrolled in a judo class sponsored by the Council Bluffs J udo Association . His instructor, Lou Carta, got Straka started and inspired him, as Carta was a blackbelt himself. Straka started as a white belt like everyone else; being low man on the totem pole isn't easy! The belt ran ks vary in colo rs as the person progresses in judo . In order to move up to a higher belt, a person must earn ten degrees. Degrees are earned by how well a person performs in tournaments and other matches. After a person has earned enough degrees to advance, he must take a fourpage, 300-400-question test. Straka spends many hours studying judo books to learn the correct spelling and pronunciation of the Japanese words for each throw. For e xample, "mata" means "stop", "laganae" means "go", and "sienogie" N I 1----1 ------- Kat hy A lfers M ory Becker Andy Berner Koren Birusingh Mork Brisso I I I Matt Buchanan Jenny Buckley Ben Butterfield Barb Carlin Cheryl Carlson I I I Dennis Christiansen Kevin Claussen Trisha Corbaley John Crowley Jeanne Dalton 136/Freshmen I I I Sean Davis Tin a DeChant Dan Disalvo Jason Engler Becky Ficek '- [ describes the type of throw being executed. As one can see, memorizing words that can't even be pronounced wouldn't be easy. Over the past two years, Straka has participated in several tournaments in Iowa . Among the places he has gone are Waterloo, Des Moines, Norfolk, and Sioux City. The tournaments are usually every week to two weeks. Straka competes against five or six opponents in every tourney. The mat used is official wrestling size, and there is usually more than one match going on at a time. All in all, Straka feels that getting involved in judo has been a great learning experience. He's learned to defend himself, and he has learned a lot about self-discipline . He especially likes judo because it is one sport that doesn't require size or strength to win; just coordination, quickness, and cunning. Straka would like to win sectionals in Des Moines and bring home a first-place trophy in his class . Later, Straka would like to teach and coach judo. Since he is a blue belt already, Straka seems to be well on his wa y to reaching his goals.

This is how the dictionary defines spirit. There is a group of students here at $.A. fitting this definition to the fullest. It's the sophomore class of 1987, who this past basketball season proved how much spirit "we" have . Take the junior varsity game vs. Father Fla~agan, a double overtime thriller that had the crowd on its feet most of the game. Another good example is all of the pep rallies where almost all of the boys are standing all of the time and the girls some of the time . The band plays a big factor in the spirit. Chris Fischer said of them, "The band played a major role in increasing the enthusiasm of the fans. We ' d like them to play at every game ." This was especially true toward the end of the season when the band, led by George Kippley, developed the "Indian Cheer" in which the crowd would erupt with whoops and yells and pound on the bleachers.

It developed into Hawaii night but encountered some opposition from administration on the style of dress. Bill Smyth said, "On Hawaiian night, anything should be o .k." Another incident was a pep rally in which the bo1s were standing and being enthusiastic when Mr. Jaworski asked them to sit down. Sports is not the only area where much spirit and togetherness is displayed. At plays, you will always see a sophomore in the crowd. There was a good deal of support shown for the five members of the class who were inducted in NHS. So what is the reason for all of th is rowdiness and enthusiasm? One would have to say the reason for it is we just want to have fun . Perhaps that gets out of hand at times though . Several teachers feel they should keep the loudness on the court and out of the classroom. So next year, at a football or volleyball or basketball game, you hear some loud cheering, chances are it will be the "juniors" .

Next came the decision of what to wear to school each day. It wasn't like putting on a plaid skirt was normal there . I soon got used to blue jeans and tennis shoes. Probably the biggest adjustment I had to make was the way I talked. I had to change my sarcastic attitude . I remember one day I said, "I'm lookin' real cute today," and a girl next to me called me conceited . It took awhile for me to get used to the students, but I think it took even longer for them to get used to me . When I began to feel comfortable, I I I school was a lot of fun . I enjoyed class time . There wasn't anyone to make fun of me, we all made fun together. This is an experience I will long remember, simply because I learned from it. I thought the people there would be real low lifes, but I was wrong. No matter what kind of person you are, you have good qualities and bad ones. When my dad found out that I had transferred, he was absolutely furious. He swore he'd never forgive me. Eventually I think he did. Many people think highly of S.A., and my dad is one of them. He says you can't get a better education and the staff is e xcellent. He's right as usual. I was aware of my parents' disappointment so I promised to come back. I don't know how most people felt when I left S.A., but I found out who my true friends were when I returned. I met a lot of terrific people at T.J. It's nice to have friends at both schools. When I went to T.J., I had mostly laughs and good times. What's more important, a good education or a good time? Academics is the main issue of school and, for me, it's easier to concentrate at S.A. T.J. did teach me a variety of things. Most improtantly, they taught me how to be myself. - ------111 Theresa Gier Phil Gillett Fred Grote Steve Hansen Ann Henderson 11 I Scott Hoffman Amy Honaker Sue Hotz Jim Hunter Michelle Johnson I I I Tommy Jones Kris Kinart Jackie Leggio Darrin Martin Kris Martin 11 I Kim Mauer Ed McGill Sue McDona ld Karen Menges Mike Miller Juniors/ 145 J u N I 0 R _ s Wild-n-crozy was the theme of the day, as junior girls gather in the Home Ee room during lunch.

This year, for one particular senior, that decision has been exceptionally tough. For practically all of his life, Andy Fischer has wanted to be a farmer. His father, his father's father·and everyone else down the line has lived the farm, life. "I've always thought of farming as the best way to live and the best way to raise a family," said Fischer about his future occupation. Fischer has decided to attend Northwest Missouri State University this fall to study for two years. If things get worse with the farm crisis, he can always go two more years and study something else . After his first two years are completed, Fischer would like to return to the Neola area and rent land close to his dad's and his brothers' property . This way they can share machinery and keep his debt smaller. After visiting his banker, Fischer decided to rent about 400 acres of land to spread out his debt. He will have to borrow $80,000 just to get the crop in the ground. This loan will have to be paid off in one year. After that, Fischer will need his own machinery, but he can finance that for three years. "It's a big risk, but if you don't risk losing it all you don't get the chance of getting it all," replied Fischer when asked if he was afraid of losing the money. "It is frightening knowing that the weather could ruin the whole crop and set me back $80,000," said Fischer. As one can imagine, the farm life is 148/Seniors not an easy one. Sometimes a farmer has to work 24 hours a day just to get a crop out; he might not be able to see his family for days. Studies have shown that farming is the most stressful occupation there is. Fischer believes that even though the job is rough and a lot of time goes into it, it's still worth it. He believes that there is nothing better than the outdoors and a good piece of land. "I'm not going to think 'if'. There are a lot of things in the U .S. that people don't need, but they will aways need food," said Fischer when asked about the current farm crisis.

Seniors/ 157 Hours Outside the Classroom Hectic schedules, missed dinners, extra hours in college, workshops, and camps, and not seeing the family are only some of the many difficulties encountered by many S.A . teachers. Besides preparing for classes, correcting papers, and helping students after class, many members of the S.A. faculty put in time to help with the many extracurricular activities of their students. One may wonder why these teachers choose to become involved rathGiving a little extra er tha n just go home a nd take it easy aft er at least an ei g h t h our day. " There are so many sports at S.A. tha t I think that the te achers should take their part in coaching t hem," said Virgie Oatman, "I also enjoy volleyball. I like watching it and pla ying it myself," she added. One teacher felt that participation in extracurriculars was ... "part of the job and an outlet for me," said Terry Dolnicek. "If I had to spend all my time in the classroom, I wouldn't Wiley Brings Lile Experiences Into Classroom You've got to give a person credit for standing up in front of some 500 teachers, parents, and students and saying, "I am an alcoholic, I want you to know, and I really need your support." This was a statement heard by every St. Albert student on November 2 at this year's annual retreat. Ever since that day, Kris Wiley has brought her disease into the classroom. She wants to make sure that her students are properly and honestly informed about alcoholism and its effects. If you've ever been in one of Ms. Wiley's classes, you might have heard her story, or her "drunk story," a s it is called by Alcoholics Anonymous. It is the story of how Wiley's problem st arte d and the courage, patience a nd help it took to get her problem under control. Wiley started drin king whe n she was 13-years-old. Her o lder sister 158/Foculty bought the booze for her. By her junior year, Wiley was drinking excessively every Friday and Saturday night. She never realized that her behavior was unusual and could grow into something that could get out of control. Just after the start of her junior year, Wiley decided that alcohol wasn't enough. She experimented with pot and speed, but they became expensive and a near fatal car accident made her think twice about the "harder drugs". By the middle of her first year in college, Wiley had to drop a course because partying outweighed her studying and she wasn't willing to give up the "good times" . Soon after the start of her junior year in college, Wiley tripped into a religious kick. She knew that the way she was drinking was wrong and hone stly thought she co uld sto p . But as she found out, it isn't always tha t easy and she began drinking once again. This time she was only drinking every one or two weeks. As Wiley later learned, it's not how often you drink, but it's how much and how much you feel you NEED to drink . After college, Wiley decided that the convent was what she wanted. She drank there, too, and so did every one else but not quite as much. Every time there was a social gathering, Wiley always seemed to be the one to supply the liquor. Later she wondered why none of her friends inquired about her drinking habits or tried to get her to slow down . Wiley stayed in the convent for about four years. She decided that she really wanted to do God's work but maybe in a different way. It was t hen that she moved to Nebraska . Omaha didn't have the answers e ithe r. Her life seemed to be slowly " becoming a void," nothing seemed be in education. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," he added. Mr Sherbo agreed that coaching was an added attraction of the job. "When coaching, if you teach someone to do something there is an immediate feedback; you know right away if you've done it right." He also feels . . . "let down when the season is over; there is no longer anything to look forward to. Teaching requires Years before results can be seen; to matter or have any importance. In July of 84, Wiley, with the encouragement of a close friend, decided to be evaluated at the Eppley Alcoholic Treatment Center to find out if she really was an alcoholic. All that she was asked was a simple 30 yes or no test. Then it was made very clear. "Yes, Kris Wiley, you are an alcoholic, and yes, you do need help ." It might not sound like much, but it was a very big step towards sobriety for Wiley. In August, Wiley began her alcoholic treatment. This consisted of five times a week meetings for nine weeks with Alcoholics Anonymous. A lot of talking, crying, and listening went into those nine weeks, and Wiley is still attending meetings for support and for people to talk to who really understand. That is Kris Wiley's "drunk story". But that isn't the end of the story. There never really is an end. She'll still have to keep on coping with the problems that come her way and keep living just one day at a time . "Be honest with yourself. Listen to your friends. They know your drinking beha vior better than you ever ca n. Accept their advice - they'll help yo u more than anyone can if you only le t THEM be honest," said once in a while you need an immediate result for your own belief in yourself," Sherbo said. Apparent or not, teachers do enjoy students as people. "NHS gives me a chance to work with students outside of academics and to get to know them better," said Caroline Swartz. The answer which prevailed was the genuine enjoyment that teachers receive from being around kids. Jim DeMott summed it up, "I enjoy working with kids; I get a kick out of it!" Wiley. So there you have it. One person's story. Take from this story what you need, and be thankful for the people Mike Kavars thinks, "It is important that the faculty is represented at extra curricular activities. I think the kids appreciate it." And some students did as junior Karl Rohling said, "It's reassuring to know that the people who our parents put their trust in for our education have enough interest and concern for us to support us in our extra curricular activities." at St. Albert who care enough to give a little more of themselves to try and help us avoid the problems that they couldn't . ..

Faculty/ 161 New faces in the same old places 162/ Administration 1984-85 school year has brought new faces in the same old places at S.A. With the resignation of Pat Lackowski and Greg Logsdon, Dr. Michael Avise and Mr. Anthony Jaworski were brought in to pick up the pieces as our new principal and vice-principal respectively . A graduate from Dowling High School in Des Moines, Dr. Avise earned his B.A. and M .A. at Loras College in Dubuque, and his doctorate at Drake University. Prior to comDr. Michael Avise jots down another idea on his yellow legal pad. The yellow legal pad being to St. Albert, he was principal at De x field Junior-Senior High, a school of 300 students . What is a Catholic Education? For most people, it means going t o a Catholic school, wearing a uniform and having religion classes, right ? Well, not for Mr. Anthony Jaworski. For him, a Catholic education started at the grade school level and continued through the college level. He received a bachelor's degree from Immaculate Conception College in came a noticeable item along with Avise's navy blue suit. Co nception, Mo . and a master's degre e in education administration at Cre ighton University . After t e aching at Holy Name High Schoo l in Omaha for l l years, Mr. Jaworski became principal of the two building, 1 30-student school. But even with all the new faces, two long time returning faces are Fr. Hurley and Mr. Garland. For the last seven years, Fr. Hurley has played a large role in the St. Albert administrative department. But lately rumor has had it that the start of the 1985-86 school year students wouldn't see him any more . But there is no truth to that rumor. He will be back, and with many great projections for St. Albert. According to Fr. Hurley, there are going to be some major repairs done to St. Albert. He also said that the new school year will bring a large e xpansion in our computer department. He would like to see a computer class started in the near future . Mr. Da ve Garland has been the junior high coordinator for the last four years. Alth o ugh he deals mainly with the junior high, he is one of the largest assets to the Sr. High. With his outgoing personality, he has won the friendship of most students. "He wasn 't only a great teacher he was a great friend to all of us. And he doesn't treat us any different now that we're in high school, " said freshman Jeff Howard . M r. Garland overlooks Freshman and Sophom ore lunch as h e performs one o f his many duties as junio r high coordinator. Fr. Hurley gives communion to sophomore Jean Carlin and junio r Tonia Geiger at All Feast's Day Mass . Some junior high girls gather around assistant principal Tony Jaworski, as he shows them a picture.

People at the Core 164/Secretari es, Cooks, Janitors No school could function without those who work so diligently behindthe-scenes, those people who put their time and effort but get little recognition. For S.A.'s two full-time secretaries, Mrs. Lois Hemmingsen and Mrs. Maril ynn Leggio, 'busy' just barely describes them. The added phone system and new admission slips have helped them in their wo rk. Glori a Blum received a new working partner this year, Ms. Terryl Gre iner, in the business office . Together they handle the billing and many other things to keep the school running smoothly. Manning the stoves and ovens are head cook Virginia Carberry, cooks Delores Romesburg, Joan Pursell, and Su zanne Hoffman . Carberry and Romesburg have served numerous years; Pursell joined five years ago; Cooks take time out for a team shot: senior cook Virginia Carberry, Suzanne Hoffman, Joan Pursell and Delores Romesburg and Hoffman, along with ticket-table-cleaner Linda Fox were added this year. "I don't think the program is changed too much, just that new faces are around," said Carberry. The kitchen workers seem to enjoy their work and each other. They wanted it known : "We really do like the kids. If we didn't we wouldn't be here." The cooks have a full day, beginning each morning at 7 :00 to prepare the meals, and work until the last bell usually with cleaning up and planning for the next day. "We try to do what we can with what we have, " Carberry said of the food, most of which is sent from the government. "We have little control over what we receive, but we like to try new dishes and we're open to new ideas." The maintenance men put in their time as well, with Wayne Johnson t ending to the halls and machines daily. Orlon German assists with the day-to-da y clean up tasks but at night Bill Snyder takes care of S.A. It is no tale that these behind-thescenes people play a much bigger ro le in keeping S. A. efficient and running well than what ap pears on the surface .

St. Albert's twentieth anniversary was upon us. It was a time to reflect on perhaps the single-most influential factor in our development, the time spent at St. Albert Central Catholic High School. Throughout the following pages of St. Albert's twentieth anniversary edition of DIMENSIONS, we focused our attention on who we were, and who we would become. We captured the essence of St. Albert by realizing the past and dreaming about the future . In cherishing the past, we realized the struggles, challenges, and accomplishments of those who walked the halls of Sr. Albert before us: past facu lty and administrators, and the students who gathered heri: f r an education that was "A step above the rest." In embracing the future, we recognized the Employees of Hawkins Construction Company began to lay the fou ndation of the school's gymnasium in July of 1963. One of two fir trees planted in front of the main entrance twenty yea rs ago, was only 4-feet ta ll. Twenty yea rs later and twenty feet taller, the fir towers above the main entrance. 2/Theme hopes and dreams th at wo uld ca rr y us through the rest of our lives. With a solid high school education behind us, we could strive fo r the best in ourselves and reach fo r the highest star. This is what we, the 1986 DIMENSIO NS staff, have tried to remember to do. Cherish the past . . . Embrace the fu ture. Kelly Blu m '86 accepts communion from Fr. Hurley at the Homecoming mass. Embrace the Future Fr. Daniel Deleham checks over the school's newly built science lab before the school opened. Theme/3 herish the Past On April 15, 1963, 150 people gathered at the top of a quiet hill to take part in the groundbreaking which symbolized the commencement of construction for St. Albert The Great Central Catholic High School. This school has had a much greater impact on the Catholic Community of Council Bluffs than was ever anticipated by its founders. The doors opened in 1964, and St. Albert's first student body was a coinstitutional class of freshmen only. Those students, along with dedicated teachers and administrators began the tradition of academic excellence with an emphasis on religious teaching, spiritual unity, and unsurpassable school spirit. That unity and spirit continued, and the Class of '86 is now ready to assume their place among the ranks of proud alumni. Lori Phelps, '86 said, "I feel that I have left all of my friends and the special closeness of the school, and also some really great teachers." Kelly Blum, '86 said, "More than anything, I'm leaving behind my close friends that I've spent great times with during my high school years." Both would agree, however, that good-by is not a term used among friends. So as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we carry on the tradition that began with the Class of '66. Yet, the Class of '86 will leave behind a part of them that will be carried on by future generations. This is the true tradition. And this is how the quiet foothill has been transformed into a mountain of memories and love that will be cherished forever.

Construction for "Mall of The Bluffs" began in 1985 . ~-- ~-~!:-- .-;:...;~ ..... ,,Q, ' ... - ~- . . Looking into the future seemed to be scary, but as the future became reality, happy and sad times took the place of being frightened. Jacque Slater, '88, who wasn't frightened about the future said, "My goal in life is to have a career in medicine, or maybe become the first woman President of the United States. Vote for me!" The first day of kindergarten was a day parents looked forward to with reluctance. But as time passed and people grew, the future became something to look forward to ... because it was the beginning of the rest of our lives. Troy Hemmingsen, '89 has already started to dream about his future. "I really want a ·t: mbrace The Future ......-::;__ ·- ,,,-- . - --- .:::...:_~~ _-::- -- - --- - - - - - break in show business - even at my age," he said. "I love to sing and dance, and I'm crazy about '50's music." Graduation seemed to be a stepping stone on the road to the future , and many people didn't know exactly where they would be going or what they would be doing, and that was scary. Karl Rohling, 'S6 remained optimistic, however. 'T d like to get a degree in aerospace engineering, veterinarian medicine, or law," he said. 'Td like to go to Notre Dame or somewhere in the east, because I'm searching for a little more cultured atmosphere. That's probably because I'm kind of unique and I like trying new things." Theme/ 7 Student Life he Bond of Friends Will Last Forever "Two who walk a road together walk farther than someone alone." A friend helps pull you over those sky-high mountains in your path through life ... and helps pull you out of the chuckholes too. They are there when all you need is a hug and a smile, and they undesstand that need. Friends can dry up tears and somehow make the sun shine again. Friends share your disappointments and your victories. They understand how much that game meant, and they know just how to celebrate your eighteenth birthday with style. High school memories are made with your best friends - freezing football games, doubling to dances, cruising broadway, cramming for finals, and that frantic last day of school. For the Class of '89 this was the first year to walk that road, and along that journey they will make the memories that they will cherish forever. The Class of '86 came to the end of their road. This was the last year to make those memories, and the first for promises of "We'll keep in touch." But even if we are not together in body, we will always be friends in spirit. We will carry with us fo rever, the memories and the love as we travel down the road .. . together. 8/Studenr Life Friendship has always been impo rtant to the srudenrs of St. Albert, as demonstrated by these coeds in 1964. Teachers and students can be close fri ends too. Maria Papazian, '86 smil es pleasantl y as art teacher, Deb McGuire stops to say "hi ." Ronni Martin, ·ss. Penny Ramirez, '87, and Ann Petersen, '87 say, "Smile, we're all friends he re1" Candidates fo r "Queen Frenchtoast" J ack ie Leggio, '86 and Tammy J ones, also '86, embrace as they nea r t he " top five." Friendship/ CJ Gett in Into the 60' s Groove Every year there is a change in fashion. Styles come and styles go. The 1960's "look" was resurrected in the 1980's. Bobbed hairstyles along with flattops, stirrup pants, straight skirts, and plain white canvas tennis shoes were constantly seen. "I go with the GQ/Preppy look, whatever is in style," said Dan Poole, '87. Unisex dressing was a very popular trend in the 1985-86 school year, and girls were seen wearing their fathers' old sweaters and shirts. Laurie Nettles, '86 commented, "I love clothes and I wear whatever I want, not just because it's in!" Shoes' Snoes! Shoes! Shoe styles varied from paisley print to wricren·on tennis shoes! JO/Fashion Big and long were the key words for 1985- 86, demonstrated in oversized sweaters and long skirts as the new fads. Frequently seen prints were paisley and pl.ml. Many students checked out local thrift scores for cheap cardigans, trench coats, and old-fashioned jewelry. "I feel people should wear whatever they want and what they are most comfortable in," said Chad McDermott, '88. Whatever "look" srudents at St. Albert chose, they definitely had fun wearing what was best for them! Students from 1965 show-off their interpretation of style. A familia r sight in 1985-86 - stirrup pants! "We" ve got style!

Weekends T.G.I.F., "Thank God Ir's Friday," was a phrase that echoed in school hallways everywhere from 1966 and 1986. The weekend was that two and a half-day rime warp that allowed us to recharge our minds and bodies after a week of mental, academic, and social pressure. Ir was a rime to rest and relax, yet everyone wanted to cram as much as possible into that little cocoon of rime. Activities ranged from arhleric events, dares, movies, parries, cruising, shopping, or just reading a good book. The list was endless. Jason Smith '89 said, "Weekends give me a chance 'to get away' after a long week and be with friends that I don't have classes with or that go to other schools." Howeve r the time was spent, everyone seemed to be revived on Monday; ready to tackle a new week, and muddle through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and finally, Friday, again. Lynne Murray '86 said, "Ir's nor that I don't want to be in school over the weekend roo, bur cruising up and down Broadway on Friday and Saturday nights gives my life that little extra plus!!" 12/Weekends Dawn Ri ckard ·ss catches up on missed sleep-time Satu rday morning, due t0 a busy week at school.

Juggling Jobs Is No Joke For students at St. Albert, weekends have been, and always will be, a time to wind down, relax, and take a break from the pressures of the school week. But for a growing number of students, it was a time to climb out of those St. Albert uniforms and into work uniforms. While your friends were looking forward to games, parties, and sleeping in, you were looking forward to long hours, hats that never seemed straight, and rushing through the front door just in time to punch in and realize you had forgotten your name tag. There were advantages to joining the working force , such as making new friends, learning responsibility, and new skills, and the pay-check as the result of your efforts. And, said Barb Osborne '87, employ.ed at Tastee Treat, "Work takes your mind off school." Rob Hunter '88, employed at the Crescent Lounge, fo und another advantage. "I like the opportunities to chase women!" But the disadvantages were not to be overlooked either. Long and/or late hours could leave a student behind in homework, and many found their grades falling. Said Kevin McGinn '87, employed at the Madison Hy-Vee store, "I never get off work wh n I am upposed to, so it gets in the way of my grad~s." The advantages and disadvantages of holding a part-time job were the same fo r St. Albert students today as St. Albert students of the past. It all came down to deciding what was best for you.

(!)nee a Fad • • • Always a Fad Since the beg inning of high school, students have found some place to go after school and on weekends to meet their friends and eat. They go to relax and have fun . Connie Ravlin, "8 ~, for example, said, "I like Burger King because that's where the good-looking g uys are. It's funn y laughing at the nerds and I, of cou rse, like the fries and the shakes." The place to go has changed quite a bit over the years since St. Albert opened. Back in 1966, Ewalds was THE place to go. It offered food , fun , and friends. It was a hangout to go see who was with whom, show off souped-up cars, or just to drive past to be seen. Over the yea rs this changed , and accord ing to a poll of 100 St. Albert students, Burger King was the "in" place to go in 1986. "It's the place to meet new, fun, and exciting people," affirmed _Su Niebur, '86. Popular foods, drinks, and nice restaurants changed also. Students enjoyed eating at Pizza Hut and drinking a soda. They also enjoyed going to Maxine's for their special dates. Lisa Evers, '87, likes Maxine's because it it neat, rich-looking, and classy. Karen Menges, '86 says that Burger King is out for her, but that Maxine's is definitely in. Fads from 20 years ago came back, however, and cheap hamburgers and Cherry Coke once again were in demand. And some things should never change ' The makers of Coca-Cola found out the hard way. They removed the original flavor Coke from the market and public outcry forced the re-introduction of"Classic Coke." Teens now had their choice of Classic Coke, or any of the varieties top-competitor, Pepsi Cola had to offer. The "in" place to go will never stay the same, it changes with the changing generations. But the need for a place to go to have fun and meet with friends will never change . .. Once a fad , always a fad. Homecoming Hilarity '85 Each year, Homecoming reminds us of past years and the experiences du ring those years. This year, students kept tradition and also added a few new ideas. As all the alumni before them, students began their Homecoming week with special activities. Beginning on September 30, students chose the theme "Wild 'n Crazy," and dressed up in costumes from housewives to rock stars. On "Toga Tuesday," students participated in the Roman tradition of wrapping themselves in sheets. Wednesday, the students dressed as "Opposites," with the girls digging through their dads' closets and the guys sc rounging something of their mothers' that would fit them. St. Albert pride and spirit was shown on Thursday by wearing green and gold for "Spirit Day." Friday, students dressed up in their Sunday best and joined together in the gym for the annual Homecoming mass celebrated by Fr. Kiernan. Thursday night at the pep rally the Homecoming Court was recognized. The new royalty was Queen Lynne Murray, and her court, Amy Geier, Ann Henderson, Tammy Jones, Kim Mauer, and Maria Papazian. King Ed McGill was attended by Korey Culjat, Vince Rew, Karl Rohling, Rex Romano, and J eff ~hu dak . Special activities were also held at the football field. Class contests were held, bur floats were nor built this year. Student Council President, Vince Rew, said, "floats were a waste of time, effort, and money fo r rhe few who participate in them." 18/Scudenc Life This seemed to be the general feeling, though some students did ob ject to breaking the tradition. Falcon fans filled the bleachers Friday evening to cheer the foorball players on tO a 10-6 victory over Cathedral. The special week ended on Saturday night with the Homecoming Dance, held in the gym with the music of Soundsa tional.

On Saturday, December 14, the annual journalism-sponsored Christmas Dance was held. This year's theme was "Mistletoe Magic!" The cafeteria was decorated with streamers, balloons, and mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. You might even say that a few of the students took advantage of the mistletoe. "If I was a parent, I'd rather have my kid making out at a school dance and not in the back seat of a car," said senior Maria Papazian, in defense of the public display of affection (better known at pda). As usual, the breathalizer was ready and waiting for any students suspected of intoxication, but happily, no one was questioned. Music was supplied by Soundsational and pictures were raken by Jack Holder. This year's chaperones were Mike Kavars, Jeannette Schultz, Fr. Robert Hoeffler, Crsula Tetzlaff, Jonna Andersen, Sister Mary Kay, and Marilyn Wandersee. Christmas, as most people agree, is a very busy and fun-filled season. With all the excitement going on it's really a neat experience to see the SA students get together with their friends and enjoy an early Christmas bash! All in all, it appeared that most of the students were really having a good tim , and the evening was filled with early Christmas spirit! "I had a lot of fun, and I thought it was really neat," said senior Susie Bartholomew.

" For many students this year at St. Albert, they would say, "send 'em a flower," which is exactly what many of them did. Again this year, the varsity cheerleaders sold carnations with a message attached for $1 and valentines for 50¢. A white carnation represented a lasting friendship, pink symbolized an innocent crush, and red - true love. Making all of those special valentines took a lot of hard work, but the general consensus from the cheerleaders was, "It was well worth it!" They spent first and second periods delivering flowers and valentines to to all the love-struck victims of the cupid 's arrow. Even though the valentine sales profit was lower this year than usual, spirits were high and smiling faces were seen throughout the halls of the school on Friday the 14th. Along with the carnations and valentines, many students received balloon-a-grams and various other tokens of affection from family, friends, or sweethearts from other schools. The Valentine Dance, hald February 7, was another special day. Following tradition, it was a gi~ls ask guys dance and the turnout was good. If you missed out or forgot about Valentine's Day this year, you missed guite arrear. Bur there is always next year to show the one you love just how much you care.

The fun continued as prommers feasted at the Post-Prom-Party-Breakfast hosted by junior class parents. Door prizes were awarded at all of the events, ranging from gift certificates to cash prizes to a black and white television set. The prom was brought to a memorable close as srudents celebrated the mass together. The focus of the event was for parents and stu - dents to be in partnership and to "live to see the dawn.'" Support to this concept was the signing of a contract to "celebrate straight.

Prom/27 Organizations and Academics Cherish the Knowledge Embrace the Wisdom Teachers and administrarors began a selfstudy prepararory tO the North Central Association evaluation, better known as the NCA. The evaluations allow schools to take a good hard look at themselves and see where they need to improve, or to determine what they are doing right. The NCA then follows up by sending a team of evaluators to further assist the school. By taking part in such a process, (which takes nearly two years), St. Albert rook positive steps to improve in specific areas, particularly academics. Upgrading academics is not the only priority for St. Albert. Preparation for life after hig h school is, and always has been, an important facet. of the educational process. Student organ1 zattons and academics are partners in that preparation. Some people think they are just clubs to belong to because you r friends do, or maybe because membership in them makes you more popular. Some students think extracurrirnlar activities look impressive on college applications or on job resumes. . Many people think that joining an organizatton is too time consuming, but really it is an opportunity to do something for your school or even for your community. Getting to know 28/0rganizations and Academics people and having an enjoyable time, and yet accomplishing something for someone else is also motivation to join. Some organizations like National Honor Society or Quill and Scroll are selective, and therefore, a privilege to be accepted into. You're not chosen just for grades, but also for leadership and service to your community. Membership in these organizations, of course, does look impressive o n college applications, but the most important reason for belonging is to help students be - come better individuals. Many organizations have changed over th e years. For example, cheerleading try-o uts were held twi ce this year instead o f once, allowing more girls to participate. Also, student council became involved in decision-making with ad - ministrators. Rick Colpitts, a 1979 grad uate of Sr. Albert said , ""The organizations now are better and there are more of them now than when I was in school." As each year goes by, the groups grow and change. In another few yea rs who knows what metamorphosis will take place ? The important thing to remember is that the g rowth expe rience provided in organizations and academics will never change.

Di vision Page/ 29 - New Leadership • Inspiration • • New What does Student Council do anyway? A lot of things! They organized the kick-off of the magazine drive, including an assembly to boost our spirit and make salespeople out of all of us. Student Council president, Vince Rew, even vowed that if he didn't sell six magazines, he'd dress up in a girl's uniform for a week. They sponsored all the homecoming festivities, including the fun-filled pep rally and dance. The Student Council, through the years, has always been an important part of St. Albert. They were a connection between the student body and the administration. The Student Council suggested many ideas that would never have come to be without their help. Barb Osborne said, "The Student Council has done more this year than any other, and the people are more involved." The Rev.James Kiernan, Student Council sponsor, said, "The Student Council, unlike the past years, has actually held the position of a student council. They have taken a consultative position to the administration. I was impressed with the quality of the officers. They have been responsive and concerned with the people and put in a lot of time."

NHS president Karl Rohling, presided, and Fr. Edward Hurley and Dr. Michael Avise spoke. This year NHS inducted Fr. Hurley as an honorary member, and presented him with a NHS pin and plaque for his dedication and service. On April 2, a second ceremony was held for two students who were unable to attend the first ceremony. Vice-president of NHS Lisa Claussen, secretary Norene Smith, treasu rer Su Nie bur and Teresa Andress each gave a speech on the fo ur qualities that a NHS member must possess - scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Two days later another scholastic team was testing their abilities. The St. Albert Brain Bowl team competed at Peru, Nebraska. This special gro up of people received little recognition for rhe rime and effort spent on their 'sport'. Team members were juniors Troy Holmberg and Dan Simon; seniors Teresa Andress, Karl Rohling, Scott Hoffman, J ames Sebg hati, David Smyth, and Gigi Varner. Coach J ames DeMott is a three-year veteran. Senior Gigi Varner thought Brain Bowl was fun even though they only competed once . David Smyrh and Karl Rohling, who were dubbed the "Twin Towers", led the Brain Bowl to a strong victory at Peru . Brain Bowl and HS/ 33 Journalism Deadlines & Dedication • • • Copy, layouts, phoros and deadlines are all essential parts of putting rogether an informative newspaper and yearbook. But people are the key ingredient. With a new year came new ideas, and the administration approved the offering of two journalism classes. This also allowed some juniors tO hold editorial positions. Sue Hotz '86, said, "It's great because they gain experience for next year." Having two classes also allowed for a growth experience for beginners. After the first semester, the junior students tried their wings in production and began t0 contribute tO both newspaper and yearbook. Unlike many schools.who support separate staffs, SA journalism students produced both the yearbook and newspaper, causing numerous time conflicts and additional stresses. Dan Simon "87, sa id , "J ournalism can be a ve ry time consuming activity. But that time is necessary to put out top class productions." Journalism, like many other field s, requires a certain amount of specialization. Graphics, for instance, is a talent that is inva luable. Matt Mullin spent many hou rs designing layouts and graphics fo r both the ACCIPITER and DIMENSIONS. Mullin '87, sa id, ··r enjoyed drawing, so journalism gave me a chance tO explore new areas." Sue Horz was the roken senior in the beginning journalism class. She contributed her typing skills, which put her in great demand among the junior students. New journalism students nor only improved their writing abilities by in itiating and wming their own articles, but gained valu able experience by conducting their own interviews and doing research to get the complete story to their readers.

The familiar face of Diane Guill was missing, bur a new advisor, Jeannette Schultz, was on the scene. This was her first year of reaching. "'For starring our primarily as an English reacher, I think I've really come a long way in journalism, even though I have a very long way to go," she said. "This year has been a great learning experience for me." One of the changes this year was a split of the class. Senior editors were in one class and junior co-editors were in the other class. For some, this worked our very well, while others found it almost impossible to cope with. With a spirit of cooperation, by the end of the year it all worked out well. The yearbook and newspaper staffs both worked hard and used their special creativity. Fewer editions of the newspaper were published this year, but not because newspaper is less important than yearbook. Because of the ongoing nature of yearbook on a daily basis, it gets more publicity. SA takes a great deal of pride in its publications, and because of this pride, many students continue ro get involved in journalism. One area of involvement is Quill and Scroll Honor Society, an organization for outstand - ing journalists. To be an active member, a student must be a junior or senior in the uppe r third of their class ranking at the rime of selection, and must display outstanding qualities in their school publications. Quill and Scroll members are recommended by the teacher-advisor, and the secretary-treasu rer of the national organization. St. Albert had two current members for the year, Norene Smith and Lisa Skow, and on Monday, April 4, a warm welcome was extended to new members, Michelle Blizzard, Theresa Burkey, Joelle Corbaley, Bonnie Ficek, Dan Simon, and Maureen Wickham.

These are three words that describe the 1985-86 Junior/ Senior High concert and pep band at St. Albert High School. "I look forward to band everyday, and our audiences at games and concerrs really seem to enjoy our performances," said Lisa Claussen '86. The band consisted of eighteen junior high members and sixteen senior high members. They performed under the direction of George "Kip" Kippley. "Mr. Kippley had a knackfor drawing out the band's full potential," said Dave Zimmerman '88. The band continued to make marked improvement under Kippley's direction. The pep band was seen performing at various pep rallies, football and basketball games. The concert band performed their annual winter and spring concerrs along with the concert choir and Les Musiques. Throughout the year, selected members tried out and were chosen for various honor bands and contests in Southwest Iowa and Nebraska. This year students participated in the U.N.O. Honor Band, the Southwest Iowa Honor Band Association (SWIBA), and the Nebraska Centennial Conference (NCC), which was held in the St. Albert gymnasium. There were many changes in the music department that were very beneficial for the students. The budget for the department was increased providing for new pep band music, jazz-chart , concert pieces, and repairing damaged instruments. Fundraisers were also organized throughout the year to help cover expenses. Th e regular third-h our band class was changed to the longer fourth -hour period, allowing for more practice time , and for junior high members to join the senior high for some practice sessions. For the first time in many years, officers were elected. Tim Fields '87 was elected president, Shirley Tobias '86 held the office of vice-president, Susan Ord '87 was elected secretary, and Ron Mueller '87 was made treasurer. Two librarians were elected. They were Dawn Zimmerman '87 and Tammy Lesline '89. St. Albert pep and concert bands continue to strive for excellence in entertainment, spirit, enthusiasm, and pep.

Along with excellent direction and music, the choir's size increased from 12 ro 48 in one semester. Concert Choir sang for all school masses, Nebraska Centennial Conference at Boysrown, All City Vocal Festival, Christmas and .Spring Concerrs, and State Music Contest for solo performances. Choir members elected Theresa Book '86, as president. "I really enjoy singing - that's the best way for me ro express myself," said Book. "After being in Concert Choir for four years, I've gotten a !or of music rips from three different teachers; Mrs. Coughlin, Miss Darnell, and finally, Mr. Kippley." Another busy group was the t. Albert Swing Choir known as the Les Musiques. All through the year they performed at nursing homes, funerals, alter and rosary society meetings, and of course, the Annual Christmas Concert on December 15 and the Spring Concert on May 4. A few of the song and dance numbers performed by the group were, "Time to Believe In Our Dreams," "Be What You Wanr To Be," and "On Our Own." This year's group consisted of freshmen Matt Fenner, Peggy McGinn, Troy Hemmingsen, Sheila Berhendsen, and J oAnn Whetstone; sophomores Dana Nielsen and Jona thon Johnson; juniors Julie Gubbels and Melissa Stidham; and seniors Theresa Book, Jackie Leggio, and Laurie Nettles.

On To State With Shakespeare For the first time ever, a Shakespeare play was portrayed on the SA stage fo r the winter One Act Play. "Lovers in Midsummer" is a comical romance between two couples. Due to a magic spell cast by character Puck, both men, Demetrius and Lysander, fa ll head over heels for Helena, after both were in love with Hermia. With the other characters, Thesius, Egeus, Titania, and Felicia, the play is a very humorous twist of love and romance. The cast and crew loaded up on J anuary 11 , to the annual NCC Conference at Boystown to be critiqued in order to prepare for district competition. On Satu rday, J anuary 25, they road-tripped to Glenwood, Iowa for district competition. They received a I rating which is the score required to go to state competition. Finally, the big day came on Saturday, February 8. This year, state competition was held at TJ and AL, here in Council Bluffs. The SA drama department was assigned to AL at 9:00 a.m. Here they also received a I rating. The cast also presented the show on Thursday, February 6, during Catholic Schools Week for a live audience.

Mike Maske r '87, looks o n as Dan Simon '87, asks, " I wonder if this thi ng comes with cru ise comroP" God. Our lives revolve around Him and what He teaches us. What better way to learn about God than through religion classes. At St. Albert, religion is a part of our daily life. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all required co take religion classes. Each year has a different course and view on religion. Karla Miller '89, said, "I like frosh religion because it brings us closer to God and teaches us about the Old Testament and the people in that time." New Testament and church celebration bring a new view. "Religion is a fun class. It's a great experience for a young Catholic," said Maureen O'Gara '88. Juniors took Jesus and justice classes. Angel Howlett '87, said, "I like Mr. Koester's religion class. It's fun and down to earth." The senior year required classes are morality and relationships. Sue Hotz '86, said, "Fr. Kier. nan's relationships course is a very interesting cla s and I really like the group discussions." "Not only classroom work, but retreats, field trips, and guest speakers helped us learn more about God," said Bonnie Ficek '87.

When the heck am I ever going to use geometry proofs in my lifetime ? Maybe I should just be a bum and scrounge off mom and dad the rest of my life. " This reflects the sentiments of many St. Albert High School students involved in this year's math and science curriculum. Both departments are generally characterized to include many college prep courses, and the students generally enter these classes with expectations of a certain amount of difficulty. As senior chemistry student Jeff Shudak put it, "Mr. Beckman (first-year science department rookie) kind of scared us in the beginning of the year by saying that it would be extremely difficult, but it turned out to be less tough than I expected." Teaching in the science department with Beckman are Terry Dolnicek, biology and Kris Wiley, physical science. Mike Masker '87 found biology to be challenging. He said, "It's a lot harder than previous science classes, but we get more freedom to do experiments, labs, and that sort of stuff." Some of S.A.'s students had to go over the parking lot and through the woods to A.L. for science and math courses. Gigi Varner '86 is one of those people. Calculus student, Varner, explained the difference between S.A.'s and A.L 's math, "I thought they (the A.L. students) would be much more advanced, but I found out that we're just as much, if not more, prepared for a college prep class as they were. " This often had been the case throughout the years, which leads us back to the preparation students have while in the St. Albert math department headed by Konnie Wiegman (Alg I, II, and Geom.) and Caroline Swartz (Alg I, II, Trig, and Consumer Math). This department has provided a good backg round for students going on in higher math courses. Trig student, Cris Schmitz '86 summed it up best, "The class is very challenging, but Mrs. Swartz tries to explain it the best she can to aid us in our confusion." Mach and Science/47 English 'n Effort Go Hand-in-Hand "I ain't got no pencil to do my work," shouted Slappin' Slow Sid. Priscilla Perfect then gave Sid a pencil to do his English assignment. Reluctantly, Sid began the essay. He didn't really care to work much in that class, and his explanation was that by sixth hour everyday he was too tired. But really now, what kind of an excuse is that) Behind Sid sat Brainy Brian who always had the right answers and spoke so "fluentl y." Finally one day, Sid got motivated and decided to apply himself, and before long he enjoyed his English class. Unfortunately, not all cases are like this. At St. Albert the English department consists of: literature, composition, speech, and English courses. In · these classes the students learn how to write a sentence correctly, give an effective speech, write a term paper, or read about some of the famous people who have written some of America's finest literature. English class can be a lot of fun if you allow it co be, and it helps if you have a caring teacher. Most students would probably agree, however, classes are what each individ ual makes them. 48/0rganizations and Academics Attentively reiding her American Literature assignment is Maureen Daly '87.

SA AL Sharing Competing With Class St. Albert and Abraham Lincoln High Schools have long been rivals on the court, on the field , and on the track. There was a time when the students of both schools joined together and worked, however, and that was in the classroom. Students of St. Albert have been provided with a good solid base on which to further their education, but unfortunately, SA was unable to provide calculus and advanced chemistry. Several students commuted to AL every day to rake advantage of these classes. Gigi Varner '86, one such student, said, "I thought when I went for classes at AL I would not be as smart as the students there. I found out that we are just as advanced as they are, we just don't have as many opportunities for higher classes as they do." She explained how well SA students were treated and that the time students spent together broke down many preconceived notions they held about each other. Driver's education was also offered to SA students through AL classes. Because it is a required course, sophomores spent one semester trying to get through the demanding course which meant license or no license. The curriculum consisted of use of a simulator, actual driving, and in-class study. Using computerized cars, students were faced with life and death situations depicted on film, and they reacted accordingly. They were given scores depending on reaction times and use of proper procedures in each simulation. Once students made it through pop quizzes and simulated collisions, their skills were tested in real ca rs. Two common problems were telling the difference between Woodbury Avenue and 1-80 entrance ramps, and remembering to buckle seat belts. The importance of seat belts was constantly stressed (with good reason). At the end of the year, a gruesome but true film was shown to reinforce lectures. Tim Fields '87, said, "The movie made a deep impression on me. It was rough watching people die and know that it actually happened. It was even worse to know that it could just as easily happen to me." Approximately 24 students take advantage of drive r's-ed classes each semester. In reciprocity, SA opened its doors to AL students in the afternoon to take a computer class taught by Scott Belt. The rivalry between SA and AL will undoubtedly continue, but within it a fellowship has grown inside and outside the classroom.

Gloria McDaniel, Spanish teacher, scru ms her guitar while singing a song from Espana. "Hola! Como Estas ?" Translated that means, "Hi! How are you? " in Spanish. Along with the new students at St. Albert this year, a new Spanish teacher joined the faculty. Gloria McDaniel, who taught Spanish I, II, III and IV, took the place of Kathy Thomsen who left to teach at Lewis Central. McDaniel livened up her classes by bringing her guitar and teaching the class to sing songs from Espana. Although Spanish isn't a required course, many people chose it as an elective because most colleges require two years of a foreign language. Some of the requirements also changed in the Social Studies Department. Contemporary history, which was once an elective course, was made mandatory. The curriculum for social studies in high school now requires the freshmen to take world history; sophomores U.S. history; and juniors were allowed the choice of taking contemporary history either of their last two year . Spanish and social studies had an increase in enrollment this past year because more students became inte rested in what was happening around them. As one student put it, "It's kind of · nice to know if you watch the news, where the countries are that they talk about and maybe a little about their culture."

The second annual Business Law Mock Trial, under the supervision of Rick Colpitts, was held again this year. It was a lot of fun for everyone participating, especially for the defense team consisting of seniors Jeff Shudak, J ames Sebghati, and junior Barb Osborne. This able team of three persuaded the jury to reduce the charge of second degree homicide against Bud Wieser (Fil Catania). "I learned a lot about hard work that a lawyer must do to win a case! It was ~ lot of fun! " said Barb Osborne. The prosecution team consisted of seniors Ed McGill, Korey Culjat, and Teresa Andress. They did a good job of persuading the jury to convict Bud Wieser on the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Everyone in the class had a role to play, from judge all the way to witnesses. In computer classes, students learned how the computer works, how to run programs, make flow charts, and use the data processing. This will help the students in college and possibly be a career choice. Data processing was the next step after computer processing class. The students learned how to make and run their own programs. These classes were taught by Scott "The big man" Belt, and were held in the convent (business office). When asked what he thought about making his students walk from one building to another in cold weather he replied, 'Tm not worried about it, I'm more worried about taking off my clothes in the boys' locker room!

"McGuire possesses the most wonderful quality of being able to cultivate talent in artistic people and make those of us possessing minimal talent think that "possibly" inside us might lurk a Picasso," said Cyndy Berriman '86. Art class at St. Albert was more than just drawing and painting. It could include anything from color spectrums to calligraphy to texture problems. Ir was an exciting adventure in selfexpression. Another avenue of self-expression was found in the physical education classes. Contrary to popular belief, P.E. does not stand for "participation evasion! " This parallel came about due to an extraordinarily large number of real or imagined injuries, illnesses, and various other ailments. For those of us who WERE participants in P.E., it was a good way to learn about football, basketball, weight-lifting, volleyball, and bowling to name a few. It also provided a great outlet for venting hostilities and frustrations in a good fifty-minute workout.

Art and P.E./59 Shorthand Symbols and Timed Ty • A stop watch, feet flat on the floor, good posture, and looks of determination could all be descriptions of a sports event at St. Albert. However, in this case, they were found in Rick Colpitts' and Jonna Andersen's typing and shorthand classes. Typing was required for all sophomore students. Typing II and III were also offered as electives for students who plan on a clerical career or for those who want co sharpen their typing skills. Some typing was a requirement for each student because it is a necessary skill in coday's world. Many reports in school need co be typed and many forms that a person fills out must be typed or printed clearly, and just how many people do we know who can print clearly! Also, when learning how to operate a computer, the basics of typing are necessary to use the keyboard. Shorthand land 11, taught by Jonna Andersen, were elective courses usually taken by students who plan on a clerical career. Often shorthand is regarded as a course for future secretaries. This is not necessarily true, because shorthand can be very useful in taking notes in college classes, meetings, phone messages, and personal writing. So when you walk into Andersen's room and see all those weird little symbols on the blackboard, be impressed, because Andersen and her students are the only ones who can understand the message. 60/0rganizations/ Academics Typing teacher Rick Colpitts tries to find the assignment in the text book.

Most of the students who took home-ec and shop didn't go into the classroom with the idea of being a gourmet chef or a master woodworker. The students took these classes to learn skills that the classes have to offer, and to enjoy a classroom with a relaxed atmosphere. "I like shop because it gives me a chance to do things on my own and to work at my own pace," said Mike Honaker '89. Dan Simon '87, said of his "fu des" class, 'The emotional trauma of changing teachers during the year was hard to handle, but Mrs. Hegwood made it fun and the trauma was easier to get through." Jane Hegwood, first-year-home-ec teacher at St. Albert enjoys teaching, she says, "Cooking is a hobby of mine and I enjoy teaching other people how to do it. Hopefully, I will be able to teach special techniques to students." Although most of the students who took home-ec and shop won't grow up to be masters of these trades, they did learn valuable skills, and in the process, had a lot fun.

Lisa Skow ind Kelly Blum, '86, took advantage of the opportunity to talk about college plans. Where did many students go to relax from a vigorous math class? Or where did they find relief from an over-enthusiastic English teacher who thought term papers are fun ? Where could they go to daydream or find the class brain actually enjoying himself? Of course -where else - the school library! The 1985-86 school year eroved to be a good one for the school library. Since this is known as the age of computers, word processors and computers were provided. Teachers were able to check out computers for class use. The word processor also helped librarian Maryann Angeroth when she typed up the overdue book lists, saving her a lot of time. Angeroth teaches the Junior High library skills class, and offers the Senior High a library science class. For the future , Angeroth hopes to get a computer card catalog, which makes updates and increases the book collection. Eventually, students will have access to more software such as computer discs and video tapes. Another important department is guidance. This year SA welcomed a new guidance counselor, Dan Malloy. (Malloy claimed, "St. Albert is blessed with my presence. ") Aside from listening to everyday problems of the students, Malloy battles the pressures of arranging major college entrance exams .such as ACT and SAT, for all seniors going to college. For juniors he arranges the PSAT. For those students not interested in attending college, Malloy then provides alternative career field information such as military, cosmetology, or other work choices. Malloy also teaches a jr. high guidance course about self-image, friendship, stress and career. He keeps his school spirit by coaching freshman girls' volleyball and girls' basketball. Library and Guidance/65 Tradition Quality Remains The Same The 20th anniversary edition of the Dimensions affords the opportunity to reflect upon the impact St. Albert athletics has made not only on our community, but on the whole area . Quality of effort and sportsmanship have earned SA a reputation for excellence. It is an enviable tradition. And tradition is what St. Albert is all about. Since its beginning, SA has made an educational, spiritual and emotional impact on families. Many of the families whose children were among the first to walk through the big front doors, are graduating the last of their children in the next year or two. "I guess in some ways it's kind of different, seeing the last of a line in many big families. But, the quality and style of athletics at SA will never change," said graduating senior Vince Rew. "I mean, any kid coming up through the ranks of Falcons or Saintes sports will value how successful that tradition has been. We've been known around th e entire state for our athletic accomplishments, more so than for anything else," he said . "The younger kids want to keep that alive. They want to be a part of that tradition. And the tradition extends to opening doors fo r promising athletes in the form of scholarships, which have, in a few cases even led to professional exposure. One of the fortunate few th is year was J eff Shudak, who received a full ride kicking scholarship to Iowa State Un ive rsity in the fall. Shu dak said, 'T m reall y thankful fo r the opportun ities I gm he re. A scholarship like this makes it so much easier to attend college. I can never forget how important athletics we re to me at St. Albert. " Determination and sportsmanship continu e to flou rish. The g reat traditi on o f St. Albert goes on. 66/ Sporrs • • • ----.. -· ·~ --:.:--:;:: -,,.-=----- ---==-=-...::-=-· ;;;:;=:-:::;-=-;;;-=:::-=-=-;;;..-...-...-=- .;;-::::=;- - I A look at the past .. .

Division Page/67 Young Falcon Gridders Post Impressive Campaigns The St. Albert JV team posted an impressive 3-3 season, one of the best in many years. "We had relentless execution on both sides of the ball, and had more depth than in previous seasons," said Doug Rew '88. 'That's why I feel we had as successful season as we did. " The Falcons did indeed field a much larger squad than in prior seasons, probably the biggest factor in the ]V's turnabout. 68/Sporrs While the junior varsity put togethe r one of their best seasons ever, St. Albert's freshman team fou ght to a 2-4 record . Unlike the JV, the frosh were a little lacking in depth. "We had a lot of talent at the skil led positions, but we just weren't very deep at any spots," said Brian Ratigan '89.

State Playoffs Falcon ''Air Force'' Soars Labeled by the DES MOINES REGISTER as "the best kept secret in Iowa," the '85 ~alcon football squad compiled an impressive 8-2 record, Conference ··championship, and quarter final berth in the class 2A state playoffs enroute to one of the most successful campaigns ever by a St. Albert team. . "I feel we far exceeded other's expectations with a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and a passing attack second to none," said quarterback Ed McGill, '86. "We knew we had the capabilities of being one of the premier teams in the state. It was just a matter of putting it all together the way we knew we could." Senior fullback Fil Catania echoed McGill's feelings and stated, "The season wouldn't have been nearly as successful if it weren't for Coach Scichilone and the complete dedication and leadership of the senior class." Despite miserable game conditions throughout most of the season, the Falcons set numerous school records. Among the most impressive of these were McGill's 1,877 yards passing and 18 scoring strikes, senior split end Vince Rew 1,065 yards receiving and 10 TD hauls, and senior punter/placekicker Falco n signal ca ll er Ed McGill scrambles fo r his life aga inst the Yellowjacket pursuit. Jeff Shudak's 49.8 yard punt average and 56 yard field goal the second best on Iowa 's alltime chart. Shudak, Rew and junior defensive end Larry Ratigan were named to the REGISTER'S Class 2A 1st team squad, while McGill was placed on the 2nd team. Throughout the season, the Falcons managed to get consistently better with each game, something only the best of teams can do. And while the Bird's opponents were intimidated by St. Albert's finesse style of ball, the Falcons soared through one of the school's finest seasons ever. Football/ l Team Effort Sparks Season Dedication and the bond of friendship on and off the court were two of the biggest assets of the 1985 Saintes volleyball squad. Lynne Murray '86, said, "This year, it seemed as though we worked as a team and not as individuals, as in the past. Even when you weren't actually on the court, you felt very much a part of the team. " Bonnie Ficek '87, added, 'This year was one of the best years because we were really close, and we worked hard throughout the whole season. We had one of the best seasons ever." Even having only a few returning letterwin72/Sports ners, the team demonstrated a fight instinct and bounded back from a 6-12 season in 1984 co a 9-7-3 season in '85. Arny Honaker '86, summed it up by saying, "This year was really great. Everyone worked hard and played cogether as a team. I loved it." On the JV scene, a lot of effort and gained experience ended their season with a record of 6-5, the best for a JV squad in many years. "It was really a great year, and our team has a lot of possibility for the fu ture," added Becky Ficek '87. "And don't forget those Saintes. The future is lookin' good."

Yolleyball/73 Cross Country Squad Strides to Fine Finish The old cliche, "two is company, but three is a crowd," might prove to be true in some sports, but not for the 1985-86 varsity girls' cross country squad. The trio of Jackie Leggio '86, Barb Osborne '87, and Jean Sillik '88, led the Saintes to 10 victories. Joining the successful threesome in a great season were freshmen Theresa Fischer and Sherry Slobonik, and senior Kris Kinart. The spirited squad not only captured the Nebraska Centennial Conference, but 74/Sports also won the district title in Atlantic, Iowa. They went on to place 5th at the state championship in Ames, Iowa. The boys' cross country squad were very young, but very determined anct"a igh-stepping pack of runners. They improved impressively with each meet and broke individual records within the team often enough so that the 5th runner position changed from week to week. Injuries to two of the varsity runners, Ron Marshall '87 and Ron Barszcz '86 in midseason contributed to hampering the boys' win record, but not their enthusiasm for the sport. Although the cross country squad lost four talented athletes to graduation, several returning runners, the help of new recruits, and the expert guidance of Coach John Shorey should provide St. Albert with more winning and exciting seasons.

The freshman A-team had a record of 16- 1, and held a 58 game winning streak rhat dated back to when they were sixth graders. The streak was halted in a hard-fought loss to Millard South 46-44. Dale Scott '89 said, "It was a pretty disappointing loss, bur from where I was sirring, it looked like we played hard, and it should help us in-the future. In a way, I guess the loss was kind of good for us." 76/Sports The B-team, which finished 2-10, may not have won as many games as rhe A-team, but they were always there for support. "We may not have had the greatest record , bur we had a lot of fun and played hard," said Tony Kruse '89. The JV ream set a pre-season goal of finishing 17-1, bur fell one game short as the Falcons finished 16-2.

JV / Frosh BasketbaU/ 7 Full Court And Full Speed Ahead It was a year of change for the JV and freshman girls' basketball teams. It was full court and full speed ahead. Vigorous practices, enthusiasm, and love of the game were three factors that contributed to the winning season of the JV Saintes. But if one word could describe the team this year, it would be "hustle." The girls played hard all season and were real show people on the court. They were a high-spirited and very talented bunch who worked well together and supported each other whether they were on the court or on the bench waiting to play. Cindy Petratis '88, said, "This year was really great because we all got along really well together, and we all worked together as a team. " The JV sguad finished their season 78/ Sporcs with an impressive 13-3 record under the talented and enthusiastic coaching of Tracy Leinen. Although the freshman girls were "the new kids on the court," and were only able to practice when the gym was free, they showed great determination, and improved impressively throughout the season. Karla Miller '89, said, "I really had a g reat time playing basketball this year. Our team had some good times and bad times, but we only remember the good ones. I'm really looking forward to next year." The frosh, under the g uidance and direction of Coach Belt, ended their first hign!!clrool season with a hard-fought 8-8 record.

"I wanted the ball in my hands, because I felt like I could make something happen in the pressure situation," said McGill. "As soon as I let it go, I knew we were headed into overtime!" Once into overtime, SA took control and defeated Red Oak 81-78. The Falcons ended the season 15-7 with a 101-73 loss to Denison in the final game to see who would go to the state tournament in Des Moines.

These energetic and highly spirited girls were not only a team of confidence, but a team of determination as well. Much to their fans' delight, the girls experienced many overtime situations, and last-second shots to make their season a truly exciting one. Alicia McCoy '87 said, "It was great being on a winning team this year, and I really think we all worked together very well, and that made us a lot closer. Under first-year coach Dan Malloy's guidance and expertise, the Saimes finished their impressive year with an 11-8 record.

Steve Martin ·ss, breaks his man down before is p h city wrestling meet at T J Troy Ho lmberg '87, fig hts a ra ke down at t e The Falcon wrestlers closed out yet another trying season. Although the teams individual records weren't quite what most of the grapplers had hoped they would be at this final stage, there was no denying that the overall team's attitude was one of stern determination and strong optimism. "We approached this season knowing that we had an extremely young team and knew it would be used as a definite rebuilding year," said Falcon mentor Dick Wright. "Most of the kids had a realistic goal of a .500 season or better and wanted to have a strong showing in tournament action." Knowing that it was going to be a rebuilding year, things began to look down right away for the young ream. Due to a broken wrist, four-year letter winner, Fred Grote, '86, was forced to miss the entire season. Wright described Grote as a big asset, not only for his senior leadership, but also for his past winning ways, wa ys that were ce rtai nly missed last season. Picking up where Grote left off, however, was Tim Fields, '87, the team's leading match winner last year with a 12-15 record. "It's a good thing the squad had such an optimistic attitude, because that really made up for the physical size, strength, and age advantage most of our competition had over us throughout the year," said Fields. Coach Wright and Fields agreed that the teams attitude was the most vital part of the squad. Even though the team's -overall record wasn't as good as most had hoped for, this extremely young Falcon squad will be around and much improved in the seasons yet to come. Wrestling/SS Falcon Track Still Ahead Of Pack The 1986 Falcon rrack squad started the season with rremendous optimism. They had little in numbers and depth, but what lay on the surface was superior quality, particularly in the 400, 800, and 1600 meter relays and high jump. It was these events that continually carried the team meet by meet. At Clarinda, the Birds stacked all three relays to see how they compared to the best teams in Southwest Iowa, and walked away with all three golds against the top teams around. And junior high-jumper, Ken Fox, collected another first-place medal. After Clarinda, the Falcons had to make do without the services of senior speedster, Rex Romano, who was forced to sit out three weeks. So, it wasn't until districts, nearly a month later, that juniors Mike Masker and Chris Fischer, and seniors Vince Rew and Romano, could prove that their sweep was no accident. These four men and Fox made up the "Dog Franchise." (five hounds always sniffing for a victory) At disrricts, during constant downpours, the Falcons sewed up state berths in all four events. Fox won the high jump, and the 800m relay squad was victorious as well , with Masker, Fischer, Rew, and Romano each running superbly. The same quartet placed second in the 400m relay, and freshman Trent Holmberg took Rew·s place on the 1600m relay as the Falcons finished second; thanks to Romano's fabulous anchor leg. Yes, Rex was back, and ready to run. The Birds were pumped as they headed to Des Moines. Starting the weekend off on his right leg was Fox , leaping to a Class 2A State Championship in the high jump. He could now sit back and watch the rest of the Bluffs runners chase their golds. After making the finals, the 4X 100 and 4X400 teams fa iled to place. The 4X200 was different. The same fo ur entered the meet with the 11th fastest time, but qualified for the finals in the fourth spot. Afte r ru nni ng a blistering time - the fastest in Southwest Iowa, all season - that is exactly where they finished - a very close fourth.

Darrin Ma rti n patientl y eyes the ba ll ror a clear pu tt on the green. The boys golf team was really up to par this year. The team was led by senior Darrin Martin. The other four golfers that contributed to the team's successes were junior Matt J ohnson, and sophomores Doug Struyk,John Miller, and Sean Davis. One of the possible reasons for the team's success was new coach, Scott Belt. Belt allowed the team to have a lot of fun while playing, but he also kept a close eye to getting down to business and improving their games. Doug Struyk said, "We worked really hard at the beginning of the season, and then at the end, we let our natural abilities take over. I had a lot of fun this year." The strategy must have worked, because the team was the champion of both the Lewis Ce ntral Invitational and the Neb raska Centenn ial Conference. They placed second in the Counc il Blu ffs City Tournament, and in the sectional tou rname nt by a single stroke. The girls team was also made up predominately of underclassmen this year. They were junior Melanie Miller, and sophomores Ronnie Martin, J acqui Slater. Stacy Oberdin, and Kathy Alfers. These five g irls did things that no other SA girls golf team haJ ever done! They finished 7-2 in dual meets for the fir.st time ever. As for next year, Coach Michael Kava rs said, "If the girls get out and play a lot of golf ;n the summer, we're looking for a sectional title next year. " And that will be no stroke of luck folks' Girls and Boy. Golr/CJl Falcons To State Saintes Rebuilding • • • When the boys tennis team started the year, they set a pre-season goal of finishing .500 in duals. However, as the season progressed, it was evident that the Falcons were ready to play. They finished with an 8-2 record, the best ever for an SA tennis team. Leading the way for coach Sterling West were five returning lettermen; senior Tom Eberhard, and juniors Dave Koehler, Chris Slater, Don J abro, and Mark Petratis. This balanced attack, along with consistent play from John O'Connor, #0 singles player, enabled the Falcons co net the city championship.

The Sa intes lost quite a few key seniors from last year bur had a lot of experience coming back. The Saintes opened their season with the D owling Tournament. They ended up 1 and 3 in the tournament but, they played well and played a lot of good competition. "I feel that we'll do pretty well throug hout the season but we do not have a lot of depth on the team, especially in pitching," says Dan Malloy. The Saintes are looking fo r a pretty good season from the Seniors and hopefully getting some strength from the sophomore and freshman players. Maureen Wickham · 7 also commented on the depth of the team. "There's not many people out, bur we have a lot of fun . I think we 'll have a fairly good season.

G irls Sofrbnll/9 Cherishing the Past Embracing the Future Our Special Times The 1985-86 school year will be remembered for irs challenges and victories, triumphs and tragedies. The world advanced technologically by leaps and bounds, and "our with the old, in with rhe new" was appropo. Sarcasm was popular, and phrases such as "close!" , "newl", and "you hare it!" were echoed and re-echoed throughout rhe halls. Goodbyes were said to long-rime administrator Rev. Edward Hurley. Popular hang-ours were parries, "the ranch", Central Park Mall, Old Marker, and the all-time favorite Broadway. Music ranged from the trendy Duran Duran ro the classic Bruce "The Boss " Springsteen to the funky runes of Prince. Meanwhile, Council Bluffs residents adjusted to fasrpaced changes in their normally slow-paced community. It seemed the construction would never end. Bluffs Run, Mall of the Bluffs, and a major expansion at Eppley Airfield symbolized " in with the new," while several blocks of old buildings were rom down. Our with the old . Broadway's lanes were disrupted by diagonal parking, and voters approved a new mayoral system o f city government. Outside the immediate community, our country was dealing with the changes that were dumping the future into our laps. After 24 successful flights, a NASA trage - dy claimed seven lives, those of six astronauts and a civilian teacher-of-the-year. Positive steps were taken, however, and the NASA project continued. Political conflicts with Libya created apprehension and fear worldwide, especially in the Un ited States, the favorite target of archterrorist Moammar Khadafy. On a more positive note , the inflation rate was on the decline, gas and oil prices were lower than they had been in years, and interest rares rook a dive, making the cost of living a lot easier to live with. This year will nor, however, be remembered for these things alone. Special memories and accomplishments will be kept close ro our hearts always. Suffice it to say that we will look back on 1985-86 with a smile on our faces and pride in our hearts. 98/0ur Sp~cia l T imes .. Ta-da! .. says Mike Gill, English reacher.

The special week includes court selection, crowning of king and queen, football game, and dance. St. Albert Homecoming began September 30 with '"Wild 'n Crazy Day." Completing the week was "Toga Tuesday," "Opposites," '"Spirit Day,'" and '"Dress-Up Day. " The annual pep rally on Thursday resulted in a Falcon victory over Cathedral 10-6 Friday night. The finale was the big Homecoming Dance on Saturday evening. Homecoming has special meaning in the State of Iowa this year also, and 1986 has been proclaimed as the time to come home to your roots. The DES MOINES REGISTER said (it's a) "year-long celebration of Iowa's people and the values and tradition we share." Celebration included more than 1,000 events such as the Council Bluffs Pride Week Parade, fashion shows, and a celebrity golf tournament among others. Over 20 sponsors and 70 contributors helped finance the celebration. The DES MOINES REG-ISTER said , '"Iowans rediscovering Iowa is what Homecoming "86 is all about.'" Homecoming is only a hope for some , howeve r. Hundreds of famili es hope for a reunion with children who are missing. Each year, between 30,000 and 70,000 children are reported missing. Of these, only ten percent are returned to their families. Ten percent are found dead and 80 percent are never seen aga in. These are devastating statistics to families of missing children. "Call me when you get there," is one of SA offi ce worker Marilyn Leggio's frequent requests of her children. Reassurance that kids have reached their destination safely is a common concern of parents. Maryann Angeroth, school librarian, said, "We take the general precautions . . . 'don't talk to strangers, don't accept rides from strange rs.' I wouldn't encourage my kids to be a paperboy, but we don't let (fear) rule our lives. " Most teens reali ze that being cautious is preferrable to having a policeman notify parencs that their child is missing. When this happens, hope fo r homecoming is what remains. Nineteen eighty-five/eighty-six was not onl y a homecoming for our school and our state, it was and is the dream of pa rents nationwide who ha ven't given up hope. 100/0ur Special Times Referees Kevin McG in n (l eft) and Chris Fisc her gee ready co cime che sophomore class fo r ch e car cram.

And it comes with its' privileges, such as getting out of school early and the senior trip. Another advantage of being a senior is the opportunity to attend TEC (Teens Encounter Christ), a three day retreat in Panora, Iowa. Not many of the class of '86 attended TEC. And the majority of who did were girls. Betsy Tamisiea attended one of the first sessions of the year. Tamisiea said, "TEC is not the three-day mass everyone thinks it is. You focus on your own life and others around you. You meet a lot of new and exciting people who become your good friends." Kris Wiley, S.A. Religion teacher, is the organizer of the TEC weekends. Wiley commented, "TEC is a wonderful experience, and it's unfort unate that not more seniors took advantage of it." Another unforgettable experience of the senior year is the senior retreat. It took place at the Catholic Church in Glenwood, Iowa. The seniors were bused to and from Glenwood on two consecutive days. The retreat, however, was different this year. There were fewer group discussions and most of the time the seniors were asked to spend quiet sessions along. Susi Bartholomew said, "I enjoyed guing away for a retreat and getting the chance to be by myself instead of sharing my thoughts in a group." Tom Eberhard also shared, "The senior retreat helped me cope with my daily life. It was only boring if you made it boring." TEC and Retreat/ 103 The sign of peace is exchanged between Fr.

How are we going to pay for all this?" fundraisers, of course! fundraisers were a 1najor source of income for many organizations and dasssp0nsored activities this year. Mike K..avars, head of fundraising coordination for the school, explained the work that goes into arranging a fundraiser. "Certain organizations come to me with a need for rnoney," he said. "l try to find products that will raise the rnoney. l choose accordward the purchase of computers for the school, and various other items.

Many organizations a\so sponsored dances, grub days, and bake sales, many of which were successful. fundraising took a lot of hard work ing to what people are buying and what will raise the rnost rnoney at that tirne." He further explained that there has to be a guarantee of at \east a 40% profit frorn the sale of the product. "1 try to schedule fundraisers so that we don't have one right on rop of another," he said. At the beginning of the year students sold magazines ro raise rnoney ro go toand especially a lot of rime .

Fundraising/ 10 State F ever The '85 Falcon football squad generated excitement and enthusiasm unequaled by many prior St. Albert grid teams. And why not ? The young Falcon squad surprised many en route to an 8-2 campaign and a quarterfinal berth in the Iowa Class 2A playoffs. Leading this small group of Birds was Falcon Head Coach Marshall Scichilone. "If we were just a little more physical and had a few more players (the entire squad consisted of 36 individuals), we possibly could have won it all," said Scichilone. "Our offense couldn't have been stopped. It was one of the best-scoring offenses in the state." The Falcons faced Neola Tri-Center in the first round of the playoffs at Falcon Field. And behind a fantastic , energetic, and loud crowd, SA whipped the Trojans 20-3. When asked what won the game for \ us, Scichilone said, "Defense. We had some big defensive plays that game, and we didn't fold when we got behind early. There 's no doubt our previous playoff experience and home crowd helped us win that game." St. Albert then travelled down to Clarinda to take on the powerful and explosive Cardinals. But this sunny Saturday afternoon was for the birds. Not our Birds, but instead, for the Clarinda Cardinals. Outnumbered, outsized, and outplayed, the Falcons' air attack could not get untracked in the early-going, and they had to play catch-up the entire game. This took the Birds away from their previous game plan, and handed them only their second defeat of the season. Scichilone summed up the season by saying, "This truly was a great bunch of kids. The entire ream continually worked hard, and everyone had a lot of fun. " 1986 Varsity Fo }1m Free Otbal/ team R '< Col man, Doug Rew ow 1 Steve Marr p1trs. Row 3 T' .

Following a relatively calm beginning of a new semester at St. Albert, a national tragedy struck which affected not only our community, but the whole world. A cold, dreary January 28 is a day that will be remembered for a long time. It marked an end to 25 years of reliable missions by NASA, the end of seven lives, and the loss of the space shuttle Challenger. On board were Gregory D. J arvis, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Commander Francis R. Scobee, and co-pilot Michael]. Smith. With them was Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from Concord, who was to be the first civilian in space. NASA and a presidential investigation both focused blame for explosion on a fatal o-ring "burn through." 0-rings, which seal the segments of the solid rocket booster, were damaged by cold temperatures in Florida that morning. A super-heated blast that should have been directed downward and toward the external fuel rank, caused the explosion. As news of the disaster spread, a large group of SA student and teachers gathered in the library, spellbound by the media coverage and the repeated playbacks of the explosion, and the incredulous expressions shown on the fa ces of the families, friends and well-wishers who had all been there to see the launch. By lunchtime the entire school had heard the news, and prayers were offered over the intercom, hoping for survivors and asking for strength for their families. In the days that followed , American flags flew at half-mast, a constant reminder of the Tuesday tragedy. Replacements at NASA in launch confirmation and mission control vowed to not let anything like this happen again, but the space program will continue. As President Reagan said in a speech following the fatal mishap, "The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted. It belongs to the brave."

Terrorism The Line Of Death Reagan Fights Back "Well , M oammar, this is mo re fun than Electronic Battl eship, don't you think?" 124/0ur Special Times Terro rist attempts were stepped up throug ho ut th e wo rld ever since the United States bombed Tripoli, the capital of Libya on April 14, 1986. President Reagan's reason for this action was because there was strong evidence that Libya was responsible fo r the bombing of a nig ht club in West Germany that kill ed an American soldier, and injured as man y as 50 others. Leader of Libya, Moamma r Khadafy, was not injured in the attack, but his adopted bab y daughter was al leged ly killed . Man y of America's a llies, such as France and Italy said they would not back up the United States' decision, nor"\vould France and Ital y all ow U.S. military aircra ft to fl y ove r th eir countries. Su rprisingly, othe r allies would have preferred an all-out attack on Libya. Thousands of people around the world, on th e other hand, protested the attack by burning American flags and other demonstrations in Britain, West Germany, Italy and Sweden. M any questions were raised daily by citizens of America and other countries as to th e necessity of bombing Libya, and c rossing Khadafy's "Line of Death ." (An imaginary line in the Gulf of Sidra that is ac tu all y int erna tiona l wate rs, but that Khadafy claims as Libya 's). Did we have the rig ht ro act in such a manner? Should any country a llow " bully" tactics of terrorists witho ut response' \Xlhy were innocent people killed' Will the bombing lead ro World Wa r IIP A poll was take n of ten stu dents at St. Albert. The students questioned repre - sented each grade. The question was, "Do you fe el that th e United States had the rig ht tO bomb Libya': Six said, "Yes," and fou r sa id , "No." Matt Mullin ·37 said, "Khadafy only understands vio lence, and this was the only way to express ro him that we're not going tO take it.J eanette Burke '86 said, "I feel a bomb was a little extreme, and I fee l if we go to wa r, we will lose." Laurie Nettles '86 said , "I think we had the rig ht tO show them that we wouldn't be pushed aro und , but it's a shame innocent people had to be killed for it. " Alicia M cCoy '87 sa id , "I think it was rig ht t0 rake the action tO prevent future te rrorism in the Middle East." There are no definiti ve answers tO terrorism.

" exclaims Steve Oberdin '89, in his freshman speech class. Community . . . Friends . .. Family . .. These words are often used and taken lightly in our everyday vocabulary. But everybody (who is anybody) knows that these words all have very special meanings "on the hill." St. AlbertJr./Sr. High School is a student body that considers each other G.C.F. (also known as Good Close Friends), and some would even consider each other part of their own family . Not only are students close to their peer group, but some students have developed close friendships with their teachers, too. Each individual class has developed its own unique, interesting qualities throughout the years. Some have more intellectual and academic qualities and abilities, whereas, others may have more character and humor in their style. AU in all, each class maintains high standards in everything they do, but like they say, "variety is the spice of life," and students at SA are living proof. 138/Cl asses • • • With Class (es) A few elite, yet eccentric sophomore, junior and senior students rake time o ut to pose for a wild-n-cra zy picture during Homecoming '85.

There are ath letes, acrors, writers, artists, and musicians. They are also a most fun-loving and social group. Teachers can attest ro the qualities above named, and humor is not ro be ove rl ooked. "Steve Oberdin is one of the most straightfaced comedians I have ever witnessed ," said Jeannette Schultz, freshman literature teache r. "He could make me laugh, even on a reall y bad day." "Troy Hemmingson is a neat person with the kind of personality that picks you up when you are down ," said Bonnie Ficek '87. That can also be said of many others of the Class of '89. They are also talkative. Ju st about anywhere you find them. they are busy conversing about this, that, and whomever. " I ran inro a group of freshman girls at the movies one weekend," said Angel Howlett "87. "and all through the movie I could hear them whispenng.

O ver the years, the class of '87 has become known fo r its spirit and enthusiasm shown at games, dances, pep rallies, and yes, even in the halls. A prime example was the day of the boys' district basketball game against Red Oak. It was the end of the third lunch period, and as the bell rang there was a realistic attempt to mock the sound. The psuedo bell turned into the drumroll-like sound of -a-- cheer. While walking down the hall there was yelling, cheering, clapping, and bangi ng o n lockers. In other words, a lot of pep and enthusiasm was being released. And , of course, it was the junior guys who "threw together" and led the on-offic ial lunch-time rall y in the halls. Parries weren't the only claim tO fa me the junio r cl ass made, but they ce rtainly were at the top o f the list. And there was good reason fo r thinking about parries as being sy nonomous with the junior class. After all , in decent weather, which was anything but two inches o f ice an d fo ur inches of snow, there was a party almost eve ry weekend. What were they celebrating?

Division Page / 5 Fired Up For Weekends Weekends are a time for students to break away from school and be with their friends. For junior Maureen O'Gara this is no exception. Maureen's weekend started with plan-making for the weekly Friday night football game. But no one can go to a game without proper nourishment, so a quick stop at the local Burger King became a necessity. Destination-football game, to cheer the victory-bound Falcons, and afterward a victory celebration at a popular pizza palace. Pizza is a must after all of that cheering! To keep things moving, the meeting was carried back to B. K. for more fries and more animated conversation with buddies. As hard as it is to believe, Taco Bell was the next stop! How can one person eat that much? "I like to hit all the restaurants," explained Maureen, "because someone always wants to eat, and because its fun to meet different people in each place . As fun as it was, however, it was time to head for the old homestead and call it a night. For many students, Saturday is the only day to catch a few extra "zzz' s", but there are those who have to work. Maureen's Saturday started at the comfortable hour of 9 :30 a .m. with a bowl of cereal and her favorite cartoons before reporting to Bishops Cafeteria for a four-hour stint."Working is okay. It's a way to get money for my weekend activities," said Maureen. A short nap after work helped prepare her for another big week-end adventure . After a tough decision about what exactly to do, Maureen left with friends to the new Mall of the Bluffs prior to a short cruise around town to see what was happening. A stop at Taco Bell was the finale before heading back home for a good sleep. Sunday was busy. Up at 7 :30a .m. for breakfast with the family and go to work again. After work, an hour at church and home for dinner, and homework became the priority as the day wound down. Maureen's story is pretty typical of most students. Weekends are a time to look forward to, to enjoy with friends, to get a little sleep, and after all other options are e liminated, to hit the homework. Very little changes from weekend to weekend, or from year to year for that matter. The names may change, but the story is basically the same. Weekends are special. Not always spectacular, perhaps, but special nevertheless. By the way, "Isn't it Friday yet?"

Student Life/ 7 Friends to Last a Lifetime "You mean so much to mefor you've been there through the good times and the bad, drying the tears and holdi~g back the lonelinessgiving me a friendly shoulder to lean on and enough smiles to last a lifetime." The choice of your friends depends on who you are . Just take a look at the Peanuts Gang. In your friends you find security and a feeling of safety like Linus and his blanket. Senior Barb Osborne said "I feel closest to my friends when we're alone just talking about life, our dreams and what we want to do ." The retreat we had this year was a time when we all felt especially close to our friends, and where we could talk to them about our feelings. Friends have fun together and they can act like themselves. Friends can cry together and they can let it all out. Friends acccept each other for what they are and can accept each others faults. Why else would Snoopy be friends with Woodstock? Snoopy is a stud and Woodstock is the ultimate nerd . Snoopy is athletic and can do everything, and Woodstock hasn't even passed his flying course . "If one of my friends is depressed, I'd try to cheer them up and let them know they're still my friend," said sophomore Tony Kruse . "Friends are the ones who are always there for you. Through the laughter and tears, a friend is there to give you support and make you smile. "I like being with my friends because they keep me company, and they're easy to talk to, and they show me the bright side of things when I'm feeling down." said Shari Hughes, freshman . Can you imagine not having anyone to pig out with a t the B.K. lounge, or not having anyone to go shopping with, or going to open gym by yourself? "My friends are so important to me . When I look back aft er high school, I'll always remember the fun we had ." said junior Beth Quigley.

The sta tue o f St. Al shows his "wild side" with headband and earring during Homecoming Wee k. Students at St. Albert have always been known for their enthusiasm and spirit at athletic functions, intra- school activites such as homecoming week, and other activities in the school. This past year on the hill was one filled with spirit of competitiveness, as well as spirit of togetherness. The week of the SA vs. AL football game was a prime example of both. The game was designated as the "Fish Bowl" by coach Marshall Scichilone, and the fans carried out the idea with such spirited chants as "Let's go fish" and "Fish Power." Another example of sharing a togetherness in each other was in the performance given by the Strategic Air Command Army Band "Nightwing" . Members of the student body danced to the rock and roll tunes that th e band played. On the last day of the all-school retreat in September, members of all classes came to the microphone to share their feelings about the retreat and how we should carry the togetherness idea out. In the spirit of the event, many of us pledged to work to keep this special spirit going a nd to find ways to remind everyone just what was accomplished at this event. In the many types of activities- students pa rticipated in, there a lways was a spirit of closeness and unity. Kate Witte's volleyball squad displayed the true essence of team unity. Throughout the season the team stayed together through the good games and the trying times. Senior Kris White said, "When we were down we came together and played as a team. Coach Witte helped too, just by being a friend after a bad game ." Perhaps the smallness of our school was a contributing factor to the spirit of St. Albert High School during the 1986- 87 year. Thus, when we belted out the old stand-by "WE'VE GOT SPIRIT YES WE DO!", the saying held a lot of truth. We showed the city, the community, and each other that throughout it all, we had spirit, and we LOVED IT! Dan Simon Student Life/ l l Messing With ' Make Up! Why do girls insist on wearing makeup? Some say that makeup enhances their beauty, while others say it disguises their faults. Whatever the reason, one must still wonder why . After much thought, I decided to give makeup a try. With the help of a friend, I made myself up with base, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, and the like, and I was set for a night on the town with the girls. Well, not quite ready. I decided that I had better have a warm-up first, so I was off to the Crossroads for an afternoon of shopping. My excitement was growing as we drove down Dodge Street, but as we entered the parking lot, I was quickly losing my nerve and had second thoughts. I sat in the car hiding my face for about 15 minutes and decided to go for it. What did I have to lose but my honor and integrity? (and my reputation as a straight shooter). Perhaps I was a bit paranoid, but I felt that everyone was talking about me. I remember asking myself why I was doing this, and just exactly where I should draw the line on my dedicatoin to the journalism staff (If my grade depended on it, I doubt that I would have done the same thing for my Chemistry class). I walked into the mall with my head down, trying not to make eye contact with anyone and praying that I didn't see anybody I knew. As time passed though, I started to loosen up and play my role to the fullest. Funny though, I wasn't asked out on any dates. So the question remains, why do girls wear makeup? Senior Ann Leber said, " I wear makeup to make myself look better and cover up big ugly zits." Sally Eberhard, also a senior, seemed to agree. " If I walked around this school without any makeup on, I wouldn't be recognized as part of the human race." Do girls feel comfortable in public without makeup? Or do they feel "incomplete" if they don't wear it? I asked Donna Roane this question, and then asked her why she doesn't wear makeup . "I've never really felt the need to. I did wear it for prom though, and that's the only time I ever have . I only wore a little bit and you could hardly tell that I had any on." For the most part, the girls that I spoke to said that they did feel uncomfortable without it. That's where guys have the upper hand. We don't have to really worry about how " corra l pink", or "mauve" lipstick looks on us. (I wore mauve, and I don't think it really brought out the fullness of my lips). I realize that my little escapade isn't a va lid source of letting me know why girls wear makeup, but maybe Wendy Burg stated it best for a majority of the girls.

An important part of student life is often overlooked because it is so obvious and also because we take it for granted. It is the support of our families, and in particular, our parents. Parents not only played an important role at home, but also at school. They suported and advised us in school, taking an active interest in our everyday decisions. They became involved in curriculum, too, whether it was attending a school conference, assisting with our homework, or typing those last minute reports. They were always there for us. Parents also involved themselves with the lighter and more enjoyable part of school. They organized post prom parties, an auction fund raise,r and acted as chauffers to transport students to seminars and athletic events. As expected, parents we re our number one fans. There were always those special parents, that no matter what their busy schedules were, they would travel several miles to see their all- star in action. It was not uncommon on a cold, wintry Friday night to see several St. Albert parents huddled under blankets and umbrellas expressing their enthusiam for their offspring as well as the rest of the team. Senior, Donald Jabro said, "I think it gives you a boost to know that your parents are up in the stands. It helps to know they will root yo u on through the good times and the bad." Parents have the gre atest influence on our li ves. They sha re our defeats and sorrows, and celebrate our victories. St. Albert parents not only provide their children with a great Catholic education but instill in their children the will to succeed. Alicia McCoy Student Life/ 15 Dream Dances Need Dress Rehearsal Cinderella, while dancing around in her rags, dreamed of her prince and the night of the ball. She danced and dreamed for days and days, but her plans were almost hamp·ered by her wicked stepmother and sisters. Her fairy godmother stepped in and saved the day, however, and sent her off to the dance of her dreams, dressed in finery fit for a princess. All eyes turned toward Cinderella as she walked into the palace with her beautiful ballroom gown and glass slippers. Immediately, a gallant prince met her gaze, and swept her off her feet. They danced the night away until her curfew called, and then her night was at an end. Of course, St. Albert dances are not as extravagant as a ballroom dance (with the exception of prom), but we do prepare for our dances in a similar way. We all try on our new outfits and stand before the mirror many times before the big night, imagining how we will look. Girls may try a new hairstyle or a new way to do make-up. Guys might try a new cologne. We make plans for a special place to eat, and who we'll go with, and what we will do afterward. So in our own ways, we "dream" of the dance . The night of the dance comes, and we prepare to go . With our new outfits and careful way of getting ready on special occasions, we definitely look our best. We head to dinner and the dance . Afterward we party. The fun only has to end when we are too tired to do any more, there's nothing else to do, or as in Cinderella's case, we have a curfew. Although most of us won't live happily ever after because of one dance we will have a "ball", and we will trea~ sure memories that will last forever.

The excitement level was building and reached an unbelievable height as the long-awaited week began ... Students experienced various thoughts and emotions prior to the 1986-87 Homecoming event. Some worried about what to wear for class pictures while others were concentrating on finding a date for the dance. Additional students were diligently rummaging through closets and boxes in preparation for the homecoming activitiets. On Monday, the majority of the student body charmed the camera with their bright smiles while the senior class showed off their school pride and spirit by dressing in green and gold . The halls swarmed with sauntering cowboys and whooping Indians on Tuesday, Cowboys and Indians Da y. Wednesday marked the traditional Toga Day as students sampled old Roman life by swaddling themselves in sheets. Classmates demonstrated their creativity on Thursday by dressing in frenzied costumes ranging from haggard waitresses to hideous wretches for Wild and Cra zy Day. The weekly activities concluded on Friday with the student body decked out in their finest for the annual home coming mass. Thursday evening during the pep rally, the homecoming court was announced .

Decorating the cafeteria started Friday after school and was finishing Saturday afternoon. Again, the "dress casual code" was issued and was accepted pleasantly by the students, who were all clad in warm sweaters or similar attire . Though the dance floor was empty most of the night, when the clock struck between ten and ten-thirty, people began co.ming out of the cold, and the place started to heat up . "When everybody started coming in," said freshman Carrie Miller, "it was fun." So the dance proved to be a good, fun, final get-together for the students before they went off on Christmas break.

Tickets were sold prior to the dance. The festivities began at 9:00 p.m. and concluded at 12:00 Midnight. Coronation began at 10:30 with Dan Poole and Ann Leber crowned King and Queen. The Prom Court consisted of seniors Dave Koehler, John O'Conner, Stephanie Keefe, and Barb Osborne. The juniors on court were Cindy Petratis, Connie Ravlin, Amy Tobias, Sean Davis, Chris Hanafan, and Doug Rew. For the post-prom festivities, Roller Rena was rented from 12:30 a .m. to 2:00 a .m. for those who wanted to attend. Karen Birusingh said, "Roller skating was a good opportunity to get together with all of your friends and have a lot of fun ." From skating, the students went to St. Peters Church to engage in a night of intense gambling at Casino night. VCR's, t.v.'s, a radio, and money were given to the lucky persons whose names were drawn. The night wound down with mass held at 5:30 a .m.

Are we bored with them? How much do they really mean to us? For that matter, what do we really know about them? Notional Honor Society, for example, is an honor and a good reference for colleges. But, other than the induction ceremony, when else did we hear about the organization? And how about the newly formed NonUsers group? Did the group benefit its members? • A lot of what went on in these clubs and organzations went on behind scenes, and that information was worth looking into. Each club or organization had a purpose of its own, and attempted to become involved in activities worthy of recognition . The newly formed drama club and its trips to different performances around the area this year and the leadership club and its periodic "secret" workshops, (What went on behind closed doors anyway?) were examples of clubs "doing their thing." And what kind of commitment was involved in being a member of brain bowl? Were the participants all just a bunch of stereotypical "brains"? Lets hope not! In addition, we must not forget Quill and Scroll, a national honor society of journalism students who have gained exceptional recognition in their field. Although, as a small school, St. Albert had a limited number of clubs and organizations, most of them were involved in worthy activities. And whether they were locally formed by an eager staff member or a port of a larger national group, they were alive and well and carrying out a vital function in our school. It would therefore seem that a closer look at these special groups could improve the awareness of many. That is why we included them in DIMENSIONS. We hope you will be glad we did.

Clubs n' Classes/ 29 National Sports Simply Super Sports have always been a national pastime in the land of the free and home of the brave . An argument is unavoidable when it comes down to who is the best, but there were some outstanding teams that would certainly qualify in the '86 and '87 season. In baseball, it was the American League series with Boston vs. California. Boston had to fight back for a 3-1 game deficit to win 4-3. The National league series was the New York Mets vs. Houston. The series was tied 2-2 when the Mets won the next two, both in extra innings with a score of 4-3. The World Series came down to a seventh and deciding game at Shea Stadium. The Red Sox and the Mets battled it out with the Mets holding on to win 8-5 after a three-run rally on a Ray Knight home run. College football had a classic meeting this year, as the top two teams, Penn State and Miami, squared off in the Fiesta Bowl. The score was tied at 7 at the half, but going into the fourth quarter, Miami kicked a 38-yard field goal for a 10-3 lead. Penn State came back, however, on a D.J. Dozier 6-yard run for a 14-10 victory. Back on the pro circuit, Super Bowl XXI came down to the AFC Denver Broncos and the NFC New York Giants. The first half was close until the Giants tackled quarterback John Elway in the end zone for a safety, turning the momentum to the Giants. In the third quarter the Giants took full control scoring MILLARD 30/Clubs and Cla?ses 17 unanswe red points. The game ended with the score Gia nts 39 Broncos 20. Most Valuable Player went to Giants' quarterback Phil Simms who threw a Super Bowl record 22-25 passes. The Final Four field was made up of Indiana, UNLV, Providence and Syracuse . The first game in New Orleans, Superdome UNVL lost to the Hoosiers 97-93. The second game was between two Big East schools Providence and Syracuse, with Syracuse taking the win at 77-63 before a record crowd of 54,969. It was coach Bobby Knight's third National Championship. At half-time Indiana led 34-33. Syracuse was hounding guard Steve Alford in the last five minutes of the game when junior-Keith Smart took over, scoring 12 of the Hoosiers last 15 points. Indiana was down by one with 28 seconds left when he hit the last of his 21 points from the corner to win the National Championship 74-73. As DIMENSIONS was going to press, the big basketball shoot out was just beginning with The Lake rs downing the Celtics 126-113 in the first of the best-of-seven championship series for the NBA title .

Clubs n' Classes/ 33 A Gathering for Togetherness Retreat was not only a time for students to get away from the burden of completing homework asssignments, or studying for a chemistry test. It was a time to be with friends and find out more about themselves, Jesus and fellow students. Starting Monday, September 29, and continuing for four days, the entire high school gathered in the gym for retreat. Having the freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior classes together for the retreat was a change from past years when each grade participated separately. "It was a good experience, and it gave us a chance to know more about the older students," said freshman Adam Jones. On Monday, The Rev. Frank Palmer from All Saints Church in North Des Moines, helped prepare students for the mood of the days ahead. The first day was mainly to relax. So what is a better way to relax than to hit beach balls around? But this too, as all of the other activities, had 34/Closses and Clubs a purpose behind it. For inst a nce , on Tuesday the groups, which generally were about four to six people, took a piece of cardboard, string, buttons, cloth, and glue. Out of these, students created an image of God. Making our school a better place to be was one of the topics on Thursday. Groups wrote down three predominant problems and three good points about our school. The conclusion for the first two days was mass on Wednesday. It was highlighted by students receiving a letter from thel1 I-' rents. Just the opposite was done for Thursday's mass when students sent letters back to their parents. Senior, Ann Romano said she liked Thursday best. "The last song really brought the whole school together." The song, "Tea r Them Down", was introduced on the first day by George Kippley. At the final mass, everyone stood to sing it in a spirited and joyful way. Another special event at the last mass was that everyone recieved a prayer book and a necklace. Fr. Palmer said "The message that I wanted to get through, got through, and from this retreat, the St. Albert family will deepen." John Hassett summed up the retreat by saying, "Everybody became really close, and there was a lot of sharing." He added, "I feel the way others look and feel about me has changed." Even though some of the questions about God were more thought provoking than taking a chemistry test, and the students had to do everything "Chop,Chop," the expressions on most of the students' faces, as they came out of the gym on the final day of the retreat, were expressions of happiness. Dennis Christiansen 7 Billie Jo Suden, Cindy Persinger, Jaime Barnes, Mike Sorrell and Mrs. Simms (a parent volunt eer), work hard to produce their image o f God in a creative way.

Classes and Clubs/ 35 Math and Computer Classes Take . .. Bold New Steps Bold steps are what progress is made of, and SA moved surely into the computer age . Over the summer the math department claimed the wrestling room as the new computer lab, and rennovation was nearly complete for the start of fall classes. The lab holding 15 computers and four printers, provided teachers and students the opportunity to learn basic skills. Junior high students used the lab for six weeks to learn basic computer skills and some data processing. Typing II and Ill classes also used it for data processing and term papers. English, journalism and business classes also worked on the new equipment. SA students weren't the only one's making use of the comput ers. A group of AL students a ttended a computer class taught by Scott Belt, because AL did not off er it. Calculus was offered at St. Albert rather than at AL, and was taught by Konnie Wiegman. "If you are going to teach an advanced math pro gram then you should have the classes offered here," said Weigman. Only seven students are in the course this year, but the number is expected to increase to 15 within tw o.-ya~f"-s. If bold steps ore wha t progress is made of, then St. Albert should be at the head of the class. Nancy McPa rtlond An AL student works diligently at a computer in the business office.

Doug Schlautman quietly concentrates on his assignment in fre shman English class. This year there was a big question about the direction of the drama department at St. Albert. There was a change in the teaching staff, as a third teacher in three years was hired. The drama instructor from the 1985- 1986 school year, Charlene Simmons, retired to become a mother and was replaced by Jacky Adams, long time drama teacher from Red O~k, Iowa . The question began to yield positive answers, however, and the first performance at St. Albert, FANTASKIKS, was a success. Adams said that it was a very positive experience, and that the kids were wonderful. Adams wanted to have a small show to get to know the students better. Because there were only 15 students, four boys and 11 girls, who tried out for the play, one part that was originally a male part had to be changed to a female part because of the disproportionate ratio. Numbers posed another problem. In previous years, drama class was offered, but this school year it was omitted from the schedule. Adams said that the administration did not want a class of nine, even though there were only six students in calculus and approximately only ten students who go out for a varsity sport. Dr. Michael Avise said that the administration was concentrating on academic classes that would help seniors graduate and drama class was not one of them. Adams' goals for the school year were to build the depa rtment, and afte r four or five years she hoped to reach at least 200 kids in one performance. Adams said that St. Albert should have a drama class which she would call "basic theater arts." In this class the student would not only learn how to act on stage, but would also learn about props, make-up, costumes and other backstage tasks. There was a definite attitude problem concerning drama among the students at SA. Freshman Jenyi Knudson said, "Kid's think it's not cool to go out for plays." . " Jason Sprinkel, a sophomore, agrees with Knudson. Students a ro und St. Albert don't go out for plays because they might think it'll embarrass them, or because they think it's not fun, or maybe just a waste of time ," Sprinkel said . . On the other hand, Julie Gubbles, senior and a member of the FANTASTIKS cast said she goes out for the plays because " they're fun and you get to be redlly close to the other members of the cast." Matt Fenner, sophomore, goes out for the plays for a different reason . Fenner said, "It's enjoyable and it's a way to express myself. It's 0 challange t make people believe the character. 0 Sophmore Matt Konz, "d "Th soi ere a~e people who like performing in plays and having 0 drama class would give them this opportunity to act." Adams accomplished one of her goals this year. A drama club was formed . Members elected as officers were Barb Osborne, president; Melissa Stidham, vice-president; and Julie Gubbles, secretary-treasurer. The club chose the name "Camelions", and was active in having fund raisers. The students held a bake sale and recieved $58. l O. Adams said "the more visibility-the stronger the department. " They were hoping to get a lot more publicity for the drama department. Attitudes do change, and in future years there are going to be many changes at SA. Adams claimed that "success breeds success" and that means there should be more interest from the student body a nd others aro und SA. In the meantime , as the old saying goes, "The show must go II II on .. Cindy Persinger Clubs n' Classes/ 41 Elected representatives become - Student Directors Student council is elected to represent the student body, and to work with faculty and administration on va rious projects. Its duties include homecoming week which includes pla nning the dance, pep rally, and daily activites. This year's student council a lso pla nned a sucessful food drive, charging admission of one canned good to the pep rally. A spirit chain was fo rmed by each cla ss to raise money for the United Way. Money was collected during homcoming week and was won by the sophomore class. The members of student council are elected in the spring prior to their service year, except for the freshmen who are elected the year of their service. Junior Christian Jones said, "I like student council because we are always doing things fo r the school. " Brian Ratigan, a sophomore said that he liked to be a part of the planning activities. As with any elec e position, there is frequently controversy over who gets elected. Some charge that student council has become a popularity contest, while others maintain that involved people are often those who are well-liked by their peers, and that student council is a natural organization for them. The important issue, howeve r, is that those who serve on student council work for the betterment of the school.This year's group was an example of how well the system worked.

George Kippley, S.A. band and choir teacher, said it "trips his trigger" to see students really get into their music. And that's exactly what's happened since Kippley joined the SA family . Promoting musical enthusiasm was one of his goals, and it was evident that his goal became a reality. Senior Tim Fields said, "Kippley is a definite inspiration to the music program." Junior Jon Larsen added, "All the free time I had was dedicated to practicing my clarinet. It was worth it!" With events such as the Nebraska Centenial Conference Band Clinic, as well as the NCC Choral Clinic, Kippley had a worthwhile program for his classes. The agenda for the band included events such as a performance at Mercy Hospital, the NCC Band Clinic, UNO Honor Band, SWIBA Honor Band, All City Honor Band, the solo and ensemble contest in Atlantic, and the annual Christmas concert. Concert choir and swing choir were also kept busy with performances at the St. Albert Feast Day Mass, the NCC Choral Clinic, the All Cit y Festival, SWIBA Choral Clinic, the solo and ensemble contest in Atlantic, and the Christmas concert.

The Fantasy • 1n The bell marking the beginning of 02 rang. Already students in the beginning journalism class were in their seats and had begun their work. No tardies for this illustrious group of over-achievers. Doing individual assignments, drawing layouts, writing copy, taking photos on assignment, and fitting photos into their layouts kept staffers busy. Meanwhile, advisor, Jeannette Schultz calmly helped a student, while others waited patiently and quietly in line for her assistance . To aid her, Schultz had several little advanced journalism "helpers" who came in during their study hall to lend a hand in what they took great pride in-journalism. If perchance a visitor were to have come and observed the class, he would no doubt have become a victim of boredom due to the silence of working students. Or perha ps, if he were an "apple-polisher" of old, he would have greatly admired the serenity that comes from watching people hard at work. He would have noted the softly played gospel hymns in the background. And if talking did occur, it was a n inquiring low mumble, so a s not to disturb the others. Visiting, homework, or sleeping were as rare as Ha lley) co et.

Big Results Jeannette Schultz's seventh period advanced journalism class may not have been very large, but what it lacked in size, it made up in production. The class, which consisted of only 11 students, all of whom were seniors, was anxious to begin work with the school newspaper and yearbook. Drastic changes were seen in the format of the newspaper, as well as the new "art deco" style of the yearbook. New ideas and themes for the pubIi cations began long before the school year had even started, as editors Dan Simon and Chris Slater, along with Schultz, attended journalism camp at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. While at camp, they learned modern techniques and new trends used in journalism throughout the country. Other ideas for the yearbook and newspaper were tossed around during intense brainstorming sessions between the advanced and beginning classes. The staff members also worked on the publications as they attended "work nights" every Monday evening. "Work nights tend to be a zoo, but they are usually productive," Schultz said. "They frazzle my nerves. I yell, I scream, I threaten, and I go home feeling guilty. Sometimes I think there has got to be an easier way to make a living!" "For me, work nights served as another excuse to get out of the house on a Monday," said Matt Mullin. Others agreed but noted that the extra time was necessary in order to get the work done. "There just isn't enough time to do your work in a single class period," added Mullin. The staff had mixed feelings about work nights. Each member of the staff worked hard and many put in extra hours during study halls and after school. In the end, the hard work paid off and left the 11 seniors with something to remember, along with a feeling of pride and accomplishment.

Students also worked with yeast and meats. Two of her five years in teaching have been at St. Albert. Foods and homemaking classes aren't fun and games. Hegwood goes grocery shopping once a week to buy food for labs. But, students not only learn to cook, they also have to take a lot of notes. "The notes are boring but once you start cooking it's fun, especially when your projects turn out," said senior Mark Heenan. Heenan also commented, "It's a valuable class because once you get on your own, you've got to cook for yourself." A controversy erupted this year over the elimination of the course since it is not a college preparatory class. Many students agreed that it shouldn't be terminated because it showed them good nutrition and taught them how to cook. It was the general consensus that it provided a basic life skill and it is the responsibility of educators to provide more than an education to college-bound students. For many there is life beyond the classroom. Unfortunately it wasn't up to the students to decide. Bonnie Ficek Senior Mark Heenan likes to cook and thinks the apron looks smashing on him.

But education isn't limited to just SA courses. Several students took outside classes to pursue other academic interests. These courses included cosmotology, building construction, auto mechanics (IWCC) , advanced chemistry, math analysis (AU, and driver's education (Tee Jay). The commuting students had different outlooks on attending classes in a public school. "I didn't really like going to AL everyday, but it was a great excuse to skip class," senior Matt Johnson confesses. Senior Maureen Daly confides, "At first I thought AL would be terrible but the people ended up to be very . ,, nice . "When I went to Tee Jay for driver's education, I felt out of place because I was wearing a uniform and everyone else was in grubs," says junior Sean Davis. Because St. Albert students attended classes in the public school district, they had a broader base for education and gained valuable experience outside of the regular SA atmosphere . Tina DeChant Clubs 'n Classes/ 53 Making it in the world means . .. Getting Down To Business The business world is always changing and the business department at St. Albert changes too. One change this year was the addition of Loren Litner to the St. Albert staff. Litner teaches typing, business law, business calculations, and accounting I and II. Many students take accounting and find it a valuable class. Junior Maureen O'Gara said, "I plan to be an accountant and it (accounting) will help me to understand college courses." Jonna Anderson also teaches typing . This year instead of using only traditional typewriters, students expanded th~ir skills to the word processor. Many found the word processor more effecient and easier to use . " I like working in the computer room, it's a lot easier," said junior Kathy Alfers. Economics is taught by Dick W ettengel is another course offered through the business department. One of Wettengel's classes this year had the opportunity to participate in the Junior Acheivement Applied Economics course . This class concentrated more on theory economics rather than consumer economics. Students set up their own company, elected officers, and sold stock. At the end of the semester they closed their company having gained first-hand experience on how the American economic system works. With so many young people going into business and business related fields, a current program stressing understanding of those many areas is essential.

Clubs n' Classes/ 55 PE and Art students participate in demonstrating Artistic Vision Anyone who has taken an art or crafts class at SA, knows Deb McGuire, a nineyear veteran teacher at the school. Her philosophy was demonstrated by her bulletin board which read, "Its not what you can draw, paint and re-create from other work. Artistic vision deals with the way and person can dream, imagine, or create, show their 'true colors."' "I have a very special group of juniors and seniors that have been a success story for me," she said. "Having a group of kids so special makes teaching worthwhile ." And its a mutual admiration. McGuire has long been a favorite teacher with many SA students. If drawing, painting, and re-creating wasn't your art, however, maybe it was athletics-basketball, football or softball. Or maybe bowling was your cup of tea. Bowling became a favorite P.E. activity, and one of the instructors spending a lot of time at the bowling alley was a newcomer to the physical education department, Kathy Beckman. "I like teaching at St. Albert, the kids are great," Beckman said. "I would like to get some new activites going, introducing them to new games such as racket ball, pillo polo, deck tennis and scooter games." There was also a new habit formed, which while not an art, certainly took initiative . That habit was kids saving pop cans. They collected them for Beckman, and she turned them in for money to be used for purchasing new e quipment. It was a worthwhile venture and although it involved a little time it was successful. So, whether you were a Michaelangelo, a Magic Johnson, or a collector of cans, art was a talent which showed your abilites-your artistic vision in '87.

Library There is more to a library than would meet the eye of the ordinary novice user. The total usability of the library isn't just limited to book reports, and term papers. It can also be used to find a book to read liesurly, or just to mull through the shelves and spend a quiet moment or two . Keeping the library in top condition is also .. a part of the story, however, and with the limited funds of a private school, that can be a thorny problem. This year was no exception. Maryann Angeroth, 14-year veteran librarian , had the difficult task of keeping the library up to date and in good order. The work at hand for Angeroth varied a lot from organizing the budget for the library and weeding books to deciding appropriate use of donated books. Organizing the budget was one of the most difficult jobs according to Angeroth. She had to decide which magazines would be most helpful for the school to have, and yet stay within the $1 ,000 budget for magazines. She then chose books for purchase, including new encyclopedias every two years. Angeroth described "weeding" as the process of deciding which books to keep and which to throw out, based upon how often they were checked out over a period of time. If a book was not checked out in 10 years, it was disposed of, except for the classics, Angeroth explained. Even with her effort, though, Angeroth relied on the help of the library aides, whose jobs included typing catalog cards, checking out books and magazines to students, and putting books away when returned . There were the usual problems of missing books and late returns, which always impact the budget. Such a frustrating problem requires a definite solution, but as is the normal response to such a solution, the problem of money is at the forefront of any discussion . Responsibility on the part of the students continued to be encouraged, and periodic pleas for their return was a part of the communication process, until a more effective method is impl emented. Overall, however, the library, with the help of Angeroth a nd the a ides, provided a positive a nd benefi cial dimension to the academic program of St. Albert.

Clubs and Classes/ 59 The Fantastic FANTASTIKS Eight-thirty p.m., November 7, 1986 the crew THE FANTASTIKS loaded up their props and headed down the aisles of the St. Albert auditorium for the opening night performance of THE FANTASTIKS. The stage and auditorium were dimly lit as the prop-laden crew on their way to the stage conversed with the audience . THE FANT ASTIKS was staged as a play within a play. The crew of THE FANTASTIKS entered to set up the stage for the performance . Commencement of the play was symbolized with a toss-up of multibright colored triangles by two mutes in the play; Andrea Leggio and Jennifer Thompson. Using a creative twist, the mutes doubled as stage hands in full view of the theater audience . Melissa Stidham and Bill Smyth played the roles of two young people, Luisa and Matt, who fell in love. Their mothers, Bellomy (Barbara Osborne), Hucklebee (Julie Gubbles), wanted their offspring to be married. Unaware of their children's love for each other they secretly plotted to unite them. Their first attempt was spoken of in the song, " Just say No!!" The mothers sing of their awareness that kids always seem to do what they're told not to. So they built a 'wall' and informed the children they are not to have contact with anyone of the other's family on the other side. Luisa and Matt become ve ry agitated as the mothers remain in the dark about the ir love . Eventually Huck and Bell, with the help of vill ian, El Gallo, (Troy Hemmingson), Henry and Mortimer, (Matt Fenner and Tom Smyth) a scene was arranged by the mothe rs that would set Matt against El Gall o, Henry, and Mor60/Clubs n' Classes timor. Matt was to e volve the hero so Luisa would fall in love with him. The mothers never considered that Luisa would instead fall in love with the mysterious villian. But, El Gallo being a hired accomplice, breaks her heart and leaves her. Her true love Matt however, comes to her side a~d the; are again together. The mothers, now aware of their love , take full credit! "It was a ve ry interesting pla y," commented Mary Ann Poole, St. Albert study hall supervisor and SA parent. "For its sophisti cated plot I think it was awfully difficult for amateur actors, but the cast handled their parts well," she said. "I especially enjoyed the two mothers, a nd I think it would be fun to see the musiccal performed with a professio nal cast." THE FANT ASTIKS was the first performance at SA directed by Jacky Adams. "I felt it was fun and successful," she said. "It was a good start for a great year and a grea t program." George Kippley was musical director. Instrumentalists included Kendra Sprain, piano; Ka y Kaiser, ha rp; Ri ch Williams, Trombone; Tim Fields, pe rcussion; and choreography Julie Gubbles. "The cast wasn't quantity but was quality," said Kippley. "They sure were fun to work with ." Deb Rawlings also contributed much of her time a s student director.

The difference was the addition of so many new faces involved in the department. To start off Act II of this wonderful world of theater many underclassman were recruited to participate in district small group and individual speech contest held on January 24 and February 28. To advance to the state level competition held on February 7 and January 24, a I rating was required. The only performance that received that rating was a cutting of the fall performance of THE FANT AS Tl KS featuring sophomores Troy Hemmingsen and Peggy McGinn. The duo received a If rating on March 21 . " It was great to be able to go to state as a sophomore," said Hemmingsen. One performance receiving a II rating was 12 POUND LOOK, a play taking place in the l 930's. The ma le lead, Sir Harry, was played by junior Chuck Thorn. His first wife Kate was played by freshman Shelly O'Brien. Sir Harry was a we ll-to-do p ompous male who lost Ka te , because of his egotistism and igno ra nce .

Nephews Mortimor, Teddy, and Jonathan, were played by sophomores Troy Hemmingsen, and Matt Fenner, and junior Jeff Howard . Mortimor, a play critic, discovered the aunts "little hobby", and was afraid that he would be next in line . Teddy believed he was Teddy Roosevelt and spent much of his time charging up the stairs believing them to be San Juan Hill. By the end of the story, Teddy's term in office was over and he was taken to Happy Dale Sanitarium. Jonathan, the black sheep of the family, traveled with surgeon, Dr. Einstein, played by freshman Adam Jones. Jonathan killed people for their money, then Dr. Einstein gave him a new face so he wouldn't be recognized. Elaine Harper, played by sophomore Peggy McGinn, is Mortimors fiance ', who, because of Mortimore becomes involved in the scandal.The remaining cast members are Bill Smyth, Mark Shea, Bryan Brabec, Chris Morton, Tom Smyth and Jaime Barnes. The ARSENIC played to a good house for both performances. Lead role McPartland said, "It was a definite challenge," she said, "and I was surprised and pleased at the outcome of the audience ."

As the year progressed, athletes in their respective sports rehearse~ . They practiced under the watchful eyes of their coaches, who acted as directors of their team's performances. The arduous workouts paid off, as St. Albert achieved tremendous success within the athletic program. A lot of the successes can be credited to the fans. Be it the season premier, or the season finale, the fans were always there to cheer on the Falcons and Saintes. It was with the help of this support that they could attain the goals that they had set for themselves. Why were they able to achieve this success? Many of the sportswriters, or "critics" proclaimed that it was the unity of the St. Albert teams.

Positive Endi g The varsity gridders got off to a rough start in the '86 season by losing their first game in double overtime to cross-town rival Tee Jay . "The loss to Tee Jay was definitely the toughest loss of the season because we had worked so hard in prepa ration for the game," said senior Don Jabro ."Even though they're a much bigger school than we are, we thought we would come out with the win," he said. They came back tough two weeks later, however, beating Abe Lynx 7-0. Costly mistakes against Tee Jay and Boystown plagued the team and ultimately kept them out of post-season play. "We accomplished quite a lot this season but we came up a couple of games short, said head coach Marshall Schicilone. "We made some mista kes and lost." The Falcons put together some pretty impressive stats for the "86" seaso n. Fo r e x ample, the team scored twice as many points as their opponents, scoring 202 points and giving up 101.

First year coach, Dick Wettengel, said that winning wasn't stressed as much as individual improvement. From that standpoint then, he should have been happy. With such a talented corps as sophomore Brian O'Connor at quarterback, Trent Holmburg, sophomore, a t tailback, pacing the offense, and junior Joe Turner's awsome defense, the junior Falcons have a bright future . Midway threw the season, Brian O'Connor went out with a broken wrist. Junior Mark Lookabill came in and led the JV' ers against Ronca Iii, in o ne of their finer games, according to Coach Wettengel. "Corky threw a couple of lon g pa sses t o (Do ug) Rew," he said . "That got us down near the goal, but we just couldn't score." The freshman squad came into the season with a new coach and new ideas. The team compil ed a 4 and 3 record under Loren Litner, with their best win coming at Tri-Center 25 to 13. Why was this their best win? Coach Litner said the offense really came together and they played well. With the help of Al Leber, the "cocoach", the team stressed a power football game .

In the opening game the Saintes pulled together to win an intense match over Lewis Central. The match lasted five games, but the unity the Saintes had, combined with the conditioning they had gone through made it possible for the Saintes to come out ahead. "It was the most important game of my volleyball career because we finally beat Lewis Central after losing for three years," said senior Joelle Corbaley. In the next few matches the Saintes had impressive wins over schools including Missouri Valley and Cathedral. Then came the Atlantic tournament when the Saintes fell back to their old ways. However, they did make it out of pool play but then lost to Denison in the semi-finals. They came back to win over Harlan and place third all around. The rest of the season swept by in a flurry of hard-won victories over teams such as Holy Name, Glenwood, St. Joseph, and Underwood. "We worked well as a team and had a lot of fun," said senior Nancy Smith commenting on the season. When the season was finally over, the Saintes left with a 12-0 dual record and memories of their best season ever. " But what will the team be like next year?" was the question many people asked. Of the ten varsity Saintes six were seniors and left the te am. When the six seniors left, they took with them more than their volleyba ll skill and ability, they took their team leadership and unity which was so much a part of the '86 season.

The Saintes didn't begin the season as they hoped, being defeated in a three-game match against Lewis Central. However, the Saintes couldn't be kept down, and came back the following week to win against Missouri Valley. The rest of the-season followed the same pattern; one game an intense victory, the next a heart-breaking defeat. "If we play with more t eam unity and especially more team spirit, next year we can look forward to an even better season," said Karla Miller. At the end of the season, the JV Saintes really showed their style at the Abraham Lincoln junior varsity tournament.

Coach Mike Kavars instigated a new mental exercise for the team to improve concentration and confidence in team unity. The idea was called " thought of the day." During practices Kavars or Dick Wettengel grilled a player on what the thought was. If he didn't know, the team ran. Because of the Falcons' up and down season, it was difficult to det ermine whether or not the thoughts helped . But, the 'ups' included a 16-4 finish . Big wins during the Nebraska Centennial Conference Championship were over St. Joseph, Fremont Be rgan, and Columbus Scotus fo r the crown. Thoughts were not on the conference tournament the night of Februa ry 8, however, as the Falcons lost to Atlantic without senior Larry Ratigan .

The Saintes started their season off on the right foot with a big win over Abraham Lincoln, but they suffered a big disappointment with a loss against Thomas Jefferson in overtime a few days later. The Saintes did not have height, but they had a real sense of leadership coupled with aggressive play and quick movement, making up for their lack of size. The players suffered many injuries throughout the season. Stephanie Keefe and Alicia McCoy were both out for eight games because of a broken arm and a hurt shoulder, respectively. Maureen Wickham later went out for ten games with a broken finger. To have fun was one of the main goals for the Sair:ites' team, and they accomplished that. Other goals for the team were to win over half their games, which they came close to doing-finishing with an 8-l 0 record, shoot 60 % of their free throws and to work as a team.

Coach Shorey said this year's team pulled together as well as any, and that everybody contributed. What makes these teams so good? Shorey thinks it's the tradition set by Coaches McMahaon and Skahill. "The girls want to be as good as those in the past, so they work harder," said Shorey. "They have a IQt of talent."

With only one senior on the team, the Saintes knew they had a long struggle ahead. They began the season without a coach before boys coach Sterling West stepped in . He had the task of rebuilding a team that lost six seniors the year before . He had to cope with questions such as, "What is this Love-15 stuff ?" Very few of the girls had played varsity before and some were new to the game, but they a ll gained valuable varsity experience. The lone senior on the team Andrea Genereux said, "Despit ~ the tough season, we had a lot of fun. I had a good time working on my tan!" With last year behind them, they can afford to look a he a d. They will be able to apply the experience they gained and build a successful season.

Happy because, again, his team marked another great season posting a 6-4 record, sending people to state . Sad because at the end of the school year he was losing seniors Don Jabro, Chris Slater, Dave Koehler, Mark Petratis and John O'Conner. The team overall finished second in District. They went on to sub-state, beating Shenandoah 6- 3 but lost 6-0 to Atlantic. Coach West said it was a very satisfying season, also noting that he was proud of Koehler and Petratis on their accomplishments of going all the way to finish second in State doubles, missing the top mark by a tough loss to Sioux Falls in the finals. The team didn't have to compensate for many lost players from last year, Tom Eberhard was the only big loss. But with all five seniors leaving this year, the question is what to do next year. West said he has his eyes on Corey Schmida to come up and fill a spot, but that still leaves some spots open. Time will tell whether or not the team can recoup and build a strong team, but that wasn't worrying Coach West. He said, " Next year being as how we have a young team, emphasis is going to be on learning how to play, not really mattering about winning or losing."

Two seniors, Matt Johnson and Dan Simon did their usual outstanding job on the turf, but returning juniors were cause for excitement for the upcoming year. Sean Davis, John Miller and Bert Flack award winner Doug Struyk showed imp ressive and improving style at every match. Their dual record was 9-1, they won the L.C. tournament, missed the city title by one shot, and won conference at Columbus Scotus. On top of this, Struyk was runner-up medalist in sectionals with a winning score of 76. Tired of the same routine, Struyk took a week off a nd fl ew down to Orlando, Florida for a few rounds of golf at an annual golf camp . "About half the time we spent hitting balls at the range, a nd the other half we talked about game theory, and diff e rent shots, " said Struyk. "I had a great time, and I've already sta rted to ma ke plans a n going back ne xt year." Not making it to state was a big disappointment to the team, but they looked forward to all but two members returning.

"They peaked early, and we had a good year, but we should be even better next year," added Belt.

At sectionals in Atlantic, junior Ronni Martin shot a 92 to lead the team. Miller, tallied a 114, Kathy Alfers 125, Amy Murray I 26, and Stacy Oberdin I 35. The team finished eighth overall. Martin won the individual crown at the City Tournament, as the other "Fob Four" helped to a third place position. Other tourney finishes included the AL Westwood Classic (third), the Tee Jay Invite (seventh). The final dual record of 5-2 reflected the strength in one-on-one competition.

Soccer-a habit you can't Kick Although it was the first year for boys soccer at SA, 1986-87 was a good year. The boys went undefeated making it to the finals before they were beaten 3-2. The girls had the advantage of beginning this season with one year experience under their belt, ending with a record of 4-7-1 . Ralston beat them in the first round of playoffs. Both soccer teams took honors, however, as they won the L. C. Challenge Cup Soccer Tournament and walked away with the first of many trophies to come. All of this glory was not met with enthusiasm, however. Soccer was the "new kid on the block," and there were those whose opinions were not positive. Some coaches thought socc'er would take participants from their sport, and weaken 98/Sports support. And there was skepticism as to whether it would become a school sport next year. Even though .... soccer was not a sanctioned school sport, the spirits of the players were not dampened . Sophomore Monica Wood said, "This was first year for me to play soccer, and I thought we did a great job for not having the support of the school. Plus t he c oa ch e s we re great!" Although support is slow in coming from school officials, there was always a crowd of parents cheering the Saintes and Falcons. To players a nd loya l fa ns, soccer is a valid addition to high school athletics. And judging from na tional enthusiasm, the ve rdict is in . . . Soccer is here to stay.

The Saintes softball season opened with the Dowling Tournament on Saturday, May 24, against Mason City, Neuman, winning with a score of 2-1 . In the second game the Saintes went against Storm Lake, St. Mary's losing 7-6. Although the Saintes did not return to the second day of the tournament it was a good start to the season. Three senior players returned for the 1987 season: Maureen Wickham, pitcher; Donna Roane, catcher; and Kris White, second basemen. Joining this talented trio, was junior Ronni Martin, shortstop. The remaining positions on the team were held by several promising freshmen and sophomore athletes. The 1987 Saintes softball season was enhanced by the skillful and consistent pitching of Wickham. She devoted numerous hours of practice time the past winter and spring to perfect her pitching skills. At the other end of the mound Maureen was joined by fourth-year veteran Donna Roane . Starting as shortstop, she switched to become catcher for the Saintes, demonstrating her versatility. The third member to the senior trio was Kris White . Kris playe d se cond base effectively throughout her softball career and in 1987 she also moved to help in the outfield.

That , change enabled participants in fall sports to try out for winter and spring cheerleading and vice versa. The new plan also resulted in a larger number of cheering enthusiasts in the program. Again this year, the change was met with opposition . Some believed that such a short participation time affected the interest level. The majority, however, said that it worked out well and they would like the selection process to continue . Last summer varsity football cheerleaders, led by captain Penny Ramirez and co-captain Stephanie Keefe attended the Iowa State Cheerleading Camp in Ames, Iowa . Participating were seniors Bonnie Ficek, Melanie Miller, Andrea Genereux, Joelle Corbaley, Kari Larsen, and Melissa Stidham; and juniors Connie Ravlin, Maureen O'Gara, Gina T olliver, and Dawn Rickard. This was a new experience for many but, as the girls gained experience, they also gained many new ideas to take back to St. Albert. The varsity football squad of twelve members dwindled to seven fo r both boys and girls varsity basketball. Maureen Daly, a senior thought that the reason for the drop-off was sports. "People went out fo r sports and their friends lost interest because it wouldn't be as fun without them, she said . "Whatever the reason, we could hove used more people in order to do bigger mounts and to be heard more easily during games." The cheerleaders' hard work and practice paid off in many ways, however. They showed spirit by hanging up numerous signs on players' lockers and brightened the halls with signs cheering on the whole team. Their spirit didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated . It promoted an atmosphere of school support and unity. Theresa Burkey ''I think having two tryouts are a good idea, but once you make it, you shouldn't have to try out again."

But does all of this hard work really pay off? Junior Amy Tobias said, "Its hard getting up, but it's worth it, going to camp and knowing that you are going to be good." While at camp the squad received the spirit stick, and superior performance ribbons for their efforts. Junior Beth Quigley was chosen as a celebrity nominee, which allowed her to tour Ireland and London along with other celebrity nominees from all over the United States.

I am writing this because I want to do everything within my power to help teenagers so they won't make the fatal mistakes I have made and end up facing what I have faced. I have made many mistakes in my life, but the ones I regret most are: The way I have treated my mother-I have the best mother in the world. She is caring, understanding and loves me very much. But most of all she is my best friend and someone I can turn to for anything. In the past I didn't realize the terrific things about her. I saw her as someone who didn't want me to have fun and was trying to run my life for no reason. I often rebelled, ignoring her decisions. Feeling I was smarter than her, I made her feel unloved unrespected and unsuccessful as a parent. This broke her heart and made her miserable. Another mistake was getting involved in drugs and alcohol- I start110/ M ini-mag ed out with drinking, and then smok - ing pot. I said I would never try anything besides pot, but after a while, you think you can control everything so you experiment to try and get a better high. I felt I could always control myself, when in fact, I lost control. As a result of that mistake I got involved with the wrong people. This started me to do things I never imagined I would ever do. Looking back on my life I realize that I had more opportunities than most. I had a girlfriend who loved me tremendously, a beautiful daughter and a loving family, including a special friend Skipp Starr. I know the things I could have done with my life but its too late when you're looking back. I always thought I could control my life but I forgot I was only 17. I thought life was about being carefree and having fun . I found out that life is about making decisions and being responsible for the consequ ences . Through my bad decisions I have A picture of Matt Gill and "big brother" Skip Starr is on display during a presentation of the "Matt Gill Story" to St. Albert students.

I will have to be away from the ones I love the most, and will be deprived of seeing my beautiful daughter grow up. Since the fatal night of August 15, when I took the life of Tim Sieff, I have had strong f eelings of guilt and sorrow, which I will have to struggle with for the rest of my life. Finding the Lord has brought a peace about me and given me an understanding of my real purpose in life. Even though what I face is very frightening and negative, I know with the help of God and stong determination, I can make it a posit ive experience and one that I can use in helping others for the rest of m y life.

During the fu- • Matt Gill (Used by permission) Teens In Trouble It's summertime in Council Bluffs. Schools are out, and parties are in abundance. But what happens when these parties take to the street? Well, most of them end up with people having a good time . But there are times when these parties turn to violence, such was the case on the night of August 16, 1986, when Timothy Charles Sieff was beaten to death by three teenagers and one adult. Even though this case was an extreme, the problems associated with Broadway and teenagers has been an ongoing problem for years. According to Sargeant Lindsey Andersen, 1986 was a more violent year than in the past because the fights involved weapons, such as bats and tire irons. The place where most of these conflicts might start is in a vacant parking lot situated next to Broadway. The typical brawl, as discribed by Sgt. Andersen, is when two kids get in a fight over a girl and they end up slugging it out. But once there is a victor, generally the group will break up and go their separate ways. This was not the case in the' death of Tim Sieff. In the parking lot of Rog and Scotty's, a local supermarket, Jeff Ragland, Robert Lamkins and Matt Gill, all 17 years old, and Royce Maloney, age 24, met up with Tim Sieff and a friend , This meeting ended up in a fight, and ultimately the death of Sieff, due to a brain hemmorage caused from a blow to the he ad from part of a tire jack. Where does the responsibility lie in starting to cha nge this problem? Sgt. Andersen believes it li es with the kids themselves and that they should realize that if they do something wrong they're going to have to pay the price . They don't seem to understand this, because in 1986, there were 16 ten-year-olds a nd under who were arrested for crimes ranging from run-awa ys a nd vandalism to larceny and burglary. There were 658 arrests of ki ds under the age of 18. Another example of this ongoing problem is the trial and conviction of the Harris brothers, Da niel B. anaBrad A. for the murder of 16-year-old Kristina Nelson. Dan Harris, 21 , was found guilty of first degree murder and his brother Bra d plea bargained to voluntary mansla ughter, which carries a mandatory sentence of t en years in prison and 10,000 dollar fine . The county medical examine r said t hat Ms. Nelson died of multiple stab wounds. She also was choked and was struck with a blunt object. Hopfully from the past ye ar's problems t here will be a new awareness of the problems we fa ce today. Cases like Matt Gill and the Harris brothers might make teenagers more aware that things like this can happen to them. Matt is presently serving a 50-year jail sentence for the murder of Timothy Sieff.

Approximately three-fourths of the victims of AIDS are sexually active homosexual men. l 12/ M ini-mag Plague of the '80' s . • • AIDS What started as a fatal disease rapidly grew into an epidemic across the country, AIDS became a focus of attention for people throughout the world. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was the topic of concern for thousands as the fatal disease quickly became one of the top death-causing illnesses known to man. Most definitely, the year 1986- 87 held a lot of meaning for the thousands of people afflicted with AIDS. AIDS is a disease that limits the body's ability to fight off certain infections. As a result, patients with AIDS develop rare skin diseases and rare skin cancer. Since 1979, about 12,000 cases of AIDS have been reported nationally. The symptoms of AIDS include unexplained weight loss, high fever that lasts more than a week, a persistent dry cough thal is not from smoking, white spots or blemishes in the mouth, persistent diarrhea, and purple spots under the skin. AIDS is caused by a virus that is spread through sexual contact, needle sharing. or through blood transfusions. Multiple sex partners, either heterosexual or homosexual, and sharing needles by drug users appear to make up the largest group of afflicted people. Since 1981, the Centers for Disease Control has been collecting information on AIDS. Approximately 95 percent of the persons with AIDS belong to one of the following groups: - 73 percent sexually active homosexual or bisexual men . -17 percent present or past abusers of intravenous drugs. -2 percent patients who have had transfusions with blood or blood products. -l percent persons with hemophilia or other coagulation disorders. -l percent heterosexuals who have had sexual contact with someone who has AIDS. -l percent infants born to infected mothers. There has been a case of AIDS reported in every state of the union, so it is obvious that AIDS is not confined to a certain geographical area . What the US government is billing as "Afica's Disease" is being billed as "America's Disease" in other parts of the world. Either wa y, one thing is for sure about this deadly disease : it's spreading and for right now, there is no cure. Until tha t cure is developed, thousands more each year will die from what researchers are calling "The 80's Plague." Tina DeChant and Dan Simon People who had blood transfusions in the late ?O's may also be susceptible to A IDS. Aids/ 113 Some of Iowa's . .. Laws The enacting of laws is intended to affect members of society, but some laws touch larger numbers of people and more profoundly than others. During the 1986-87 school year four laws were passed in Iowa which created more than usual discussion and controversy. Effective on July l was the seatbelt law. Drivers and front seat passengers are required to wear a halterstyle seatbelt while the vehicle is in motion. In Iowa, authorities use the primary enforcement rule, which means if a law officer sees a person not wearing a seatbelt, he may ticket that person solely for that reason. The fine is $2 l .50. Those questioning whether or not officers would actually stop drivers solely for that offense, found quickly that they did indeed . A law which affected the purchasing of liquor was put into effect on September l . That law, raising of the drinking age from J 9 to 2 l years old, was most controversial among young people . Though nineteenyear-olds born on or before that date were able to purchase it legally. The law was passed after the Federal Government threatened to cut off highway money from Iowa and other states unless they raised the legal drinking age to 21 . For the people who do a lot of traveling, the law changing the speed limit from 55 to 65 miles per hour on rural interstate highways was a welcome one . Translated, that means drivers can make better travel time on those stretches of roads outside cities 50,000 or larger. Tough watch is kept, however, on those who don't obey the limits, and Iowa State Patrol Troopers have been authorized to issue tickets to people traveling as little as one mile per hour over the limit. Also, fines have been increased from $30 to $40 for motorists found in violation. One law that was seriously overlooked locally was the helmet law, requiring cyclists to we ar a helmet. What brought attention to the proposed law in the Council Bluffs-Omaha area was the occurrance of ten motorcycle fat a lities during o ne weekend in the month of April. The question was raised, "How many of those deaths could have been a voided if helmets were worn? " Many people have different opinions about the laws, some positive and some negative . But laws were made for the safety a nd well being of all of us. It is doubtful, however, that anyone will thank any legislative body for their passage . Jeff Howard The Iowa law states that persons born o n or before September 1. 1967 may purchase beer and alcoholic beverages. Violators wll be prosecuted according to Iowa law.

For athletes who want to build up their bodies to the utmost, anabolic steroids may appear to be the chemical to give that little edge in competition. But those athletes who consume or inject steroids to build extra muscle power are damaging their bodies, and in some cases, irreversibly so. While on anabolic steroids a person may see increases in self-esteem, sex drive, appetite, explosive hostility and violence, energy, tolerance to pain and desire to train intensely. Steroids may also cause decreases in the following : ability to accept failure or poor performance, general tolerance, inhibition about further drug use. Som other changes may be noticed in sleeping disturbances and nightmares. Steroid use was made known to the wo~d after a scandal broke out in the 1983 Pan American Games in Corocus, Venezuela . Twelve athletes from eight countries were disqualified from the games after tests found they had taken anabolic steroids or testosterone. Twelve United States track and field athletes left the games rather than submit to the tests. "I've watched what was at first a 'secret' drug known only to a handful of elite weight lifters become a phenomenon so widespread that a majority of recent athletes, male and female, in track and field and the strength sports are believed to have used some form of st eroid," wrote fo rmer weight lifter Terry Todd. "(It is)- a phenomenon so wide-sprea d that pro football players ha ve told me that as many as fifty percent of the active NFL linemen and linebackers have used steroilds with the intent of improving their performance; a phenomenon so wide spread that reports surface from time to time of teen-agers being advised by their hi gh school, o r even junior high school coaches to take steroids," Todd added. St. Albert athletes were predicta bly non-committal about the use of steroids. It is a probability that, as in all high schools, steroid use has occurred. Proving that, or for that matter, even ta lking about the possibility is impossible. Off the record, however, some admit they beli eve t hat some athletes have tried steroids. Nobody really knows how many high school a thletes are using anabolic ste-roids, because no athlete will admit to using them. The punishment an athlete would be forced to take if found out, would be comple te expulsion from all athletic events fdor his entire high school career.

It is not something we can pretend doesn't exist. It is real. Occult practices occur everyday in every city. We associate it with druggies and losers. In actuality, devil worshipers come from all different backgrounds. Some are sucesssful .. businessmen, teachers, doctors, college professors, students, housewives, and even a few preachers and priests. The ceremonies performed blasphimize Christians (especially Catholics). They offer sacrifices to Satan in exchange for superficial power. The followers of Satan sign their soul away to the devil- never to live in peace again . Mike Warnke, author of THE SAT AN SELLER, describes life in the occult. He once served as a high-priest in the Brotherhood but after being expelled, found and excepted Jesus into his life. He became involved with Satanism as a freshmen in college in San Bernardino, California . Dean a Master Counselor of the Brotherhood, recruited Mike into the first-stage of occult practice by taking him to an orgie party. Mike became interested in this "fun" and was led to the second-stage- the actual ceremony. He was aprehensive at first but became fascinated with the e xorcised demons and longed for the power that the devil gave his people . Because of his enthusiasm, Mike finally was initiated into the real thing- the third stage . Evil spells, solemn rites, and hard-core Satan worship happened here . Usually the rituals took place in remote, hidden areas. During the ceremony, people sat around a circle drawn on the ground with chalk. In the center of the circle was an altar- a granite slab supported on two sawhorses. On the slab, a nude girl lay on her back, her skin glowing red in the light given off by candles and the balefire burning in a nearby crucible . An inverted cross and an image of a goat's head steod at each end of the altar. The service was a Black Mass. All the Christian traditional rituals were reversed and deliberately profaned. The sacraments were desecrated. Blasp him i es took the place of prayers. At times, sacrifices were offered . When Mike became a high-priest, he asked one of the members to slice off his finger and it was passed to each person, each nibblilng a piece of the flesh and sucking the dripping blood. After many long months, Mike was expelled from the Satanist High Priesthood for members from the fouth-stage felt he was losing power. After given an overdose, he was dumped into a ditch . All of his wealthy belongings that were included with being a Satan worshipper were taken away. Mike Warnk e was on th e path back to regaining his life . He was re cruited into the Navy, whe re, by the help and love from his two roomates, became introduced to Jesus Christ. He prayed fo r fo rgiven ess a nd fa ith and later his wife Sue supported him and together they foun ded the Alpha Omega Outrea chan anti-occult ministry . Warnke was one of the few lucky ones. There are many people being introduced to the occult each day. Through our prayers and teachings, we can help terminate this horrifying epidemic in our country. Shockingly, the Satanic Bible outsells the Holy Bible two to one in most college towns, and a hundred to one in some places. The Ouija board has been a popular game across the Un ited States. The question is, is it bad or particularly harmful? Isa ac Fuld, who patented the Ouija board in 1892, stated in his patent application that the planchette 'was moved by a spirit force' . He told the truth. Any time a person invites a spirit to manipuilate him in any wa y, he is leaving himse lf wide open to demon activity. And toda y that 'game' has outsold the game of Mo nopoly. Warnke writes: " There is no one 'down the re" to le ad you out. Once you're in he ll, you've had it. That's it. Once you're there, it's too late . When you stop to think of foreve r ... when you stop to think of the torment of hell. . . In hell, there is no hope . You are going to b-e seperated from God forever. It is part of the payoff. You will hear the word " sucke r" as I heard it when I first joined the Na vy but there's no discharge from 'hell . You a re a sucker- fo reve r.

Omaha and Council Bluffs sow its shore of this grief when two years ago, four teenagers from on area high school took their own lives. Since then various agencies hove worked to help people in crisis situations. ,... February 25 1987, a workshop took place at St. Joseph's Center For Mental Health. It consisted of metro schools joining to show their concern for teenage suicide, and learning to prevent it. The St. Albert crisis intervention team was Dr. Michael Avise, Don Molloy, Jacky Adams, Gordon Ord, and Mory O'Donnel, and Jacqui Slater. During the day, the SA team was placed at different tables with members from various schools. Everyone had a chance to speak about the causes of suicide, and possible solutions. Participants learned what to do during a suicide or crisis. SA Counselor, Dan Malloy said," lt's good to see the schools concerned and involved." At the end of the all-day workshop, everyone hod a positive feeling, and they were anxious to share their new knowledge. "It's important to hove the crisis intervention team ready for any crisis that would come up," said Molloy. That was the sentiments of the whole SA team. A life is a precious commodity.

They eva luated not only the curriculm and materials used, but facility, activities, services, and policy. At the end of the visitation, recommendations we re given to the building principal. Implementation committees were formed t~ view priorities and a final plan was drawn. After se lf-study and visitatio ns, a follow-up plan was constructed. These plans were prepared every three years. Although it wa s a lot of hard work, both the commendations and recommenda tions were valuable in obtaining the sought after accreditation. The fac ulty and administration agreed it was a positive and worthwhile experience where not only the teacher and student benefit, but the whole community as well. Tina DeCha nt - ons Improve ) • 1ty •• •• Leadership Leadership workshops have been going on for about two years. The main purpose was to find positive solutions to problems of alcohol, drug, and sex abuse in our school and other schools across the country. Many activities that the participants are involved in go on unnoticed by the student body. The "positive peer" group went on a field trip to Salem church. The day was filled with many discussions on possible solutions to problems faced by teens. The group talked of different things to say when faced with the peer pressure to drink or take drugs. Junior Kathy Alfers summed up the day saying, "I had a good time at leadership workshop. The upperclassmen helped the younger kids, giving them realistic solutions. It's a good feeling to know that you had a part in helping another to solve a problem." Becky Ficek Ka thy Alfers and Joelle Corbaley take a break during the leadership worksho p. Saying "MO" With the start of the second half of the 1986-87 school year came the start of a new program called "Non-Users Group". The Non-Users group is made of high school students interested in supporting others who choose not to use alcohol or other drugs. The first meeting was held on March 6, with a surprising turn out of 91 students. Though curiosity may have been the reason for the unusually large turn-out, a feeling of progress and success was in the air for organizers. In order to give the group stability, a set of guidelines was set up by leader, Gordon Ord, father of senior Susan Ord. Included in the guidelines was the stipulation that in order to attend any other meetings the student had to be present for the first meeting. At the first meeting, no conditions were set, but by the second meeting students had to make the decision as to whether or not they would commit themselves to the group. That involved signing a four-week contract to not use drugs of any form. The purpose of the group was to receive a written commitment to abstain from using drugs, and to help group members cope with problems they would ha ve in doing so. Another topic discussed in the meetings was peer-pressure, both from friends and family. Students listened to each other and tried to give support in any way possible, whether it be advice, praise for not drinking, or encouragement. Success of the group was evaluated with mixed feelings. "I believe the group should be introduced at an earlier age," said senior Ka ri Larson. "Kids come in contact with drugs earlier now, and the group can help educate them so they know the facts and can make the right decision for themselves. I think that's the most important part," she added. Junior Jill Pender said, "It was a good idea, but it wasn't what I expected it was going to be. " With the help of Gordon Ord, peer counseling was present along with support and guidance. Sophomore Tammy Lesline reflected a different view, "I felt it was neat for people who have a hard time saying no /1 sh said. "The support and confidentiality of the grou~ give: a person more self confidence." The Non-Users group was a start at St. Albert in the fight against drug abuse . Hopefully for the future th ro~p will prove to be very helpful to the younger gen~ erat1ons. Barbara Osborne Mini-mag/ 121 ~A~~ fAfF f.

Styles today have come a long way, from poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and bellbottoms. The emphasis in 1987 was on the faded oversize look, imprinted with a big-name maker. Among those accepted, "cool" brand names were Pepe, Outback Red, Code Blue, Guess, Zodiac, 9-West, and Forenza among others. Some brand names even went so far as to attach feminine names to different styles, such as Pepe's Betty and Polly. Turtlenecks were back, lacy collars, reds and blues, and lots of pastels-pinks, blues, peaches, and greens, and shoes without socks. Brightly colored name brand scarves, and colored, textured hose were popular accessories. Gigantic earrings in gold and silver and chains varying in lengths, made up the "bangeled" look . Purses were as big as diaper bags or as small as a billfold, in a variety of colors. As girls' hair grew longer and curlier, the boys' got shorter and shorter. The "buzz," "Harvard cut," and bi-level over the ears with more length in back gave barbers cause for rejoicing . After an earlier failed attempt, French designers tried to bring back bell bottom pants. Their success was hard to measure at first, but opinions were not. Senior Ann Petersen said, "I for one can never see bellbottoms coming back, they are perfectly hidious." Mike Kavars, athletic director, commented, "I've lived lo ng enough to see fashion come in and go out and come back again. So hang on to your clothes,because even if they go out, they will be back again ." Kavars' advice was on target. Once a fad, always a fad .

"I drink to have a good time, although I don't have to," an anonymous St. Albert student said. "I don't feel pressure from my friends to drink, but when we all get together, I guess it just seems like the thing to do," the student continued. Teenage alcohol abuse is reaching epidemic proportions. As a result, many groups have evolved to combat the problem. At St. Albert, a non-user support group was developed, and they met weekly to discuss related problems. "I think the Non-Users Group has done a lot of good for some people," junior Rich Green said. Other groups, such as Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, (MADD), and Students Against Drunk Drivers, (SADD), are active nationwide to call attention to saving lives. Despite the efforts of these organizations, students continue to drink. Of 20 randomly polled St. Albe rt students, 17 said they drink. The results of the SA poll showed a high percentage of drinking students. Is this typical of a Catholic high school? Or is it the norm for hig h schools everywhere? Answe rs to these questions would provide a base for studies to solve the problems of teenage drinking . Students realize the dangers of excessive drinking, but like their adult counterparts, knowing and heeding are two different things. Every day, newspapers report accidents and deaths caused by drunk drivers, yet the drinking continues. An Omaha teen died as a result of excessive drinking at a party. As she dropped to the floor, her fri e nds laughed, not realizing she was dying. No one seems to register alarm until the news story hits close to home, and someone we know or love is involved . How long will this problem exist? More to the point-who will be hurt next? Chris Slater Drinking and dying go hand in hand.

They showed everyone they were ready for opening night-they made it through the first year. The sophomores, with a year experience, started where they left off, trying to top last year's performance. Learning from past mistakes, they made the most of a new year. Class rings and drivers license's started life in the fast lane. They had it made. Just one step away from being juniors. The juniors put on the prom, took ACT's and started in with college-prep courses. Underclassmen found the class of '88 could be trusted and looked up to. They were aware of the responsibility that was ahead. It was almost time to take over as seniors. It was the seniors that made the impression in 1987, however, excelling in everything they endeavored. It was the seniors that set the pace and made the rules for the games. They showed closeness and unity. They had the time of their lives. Applying to and selecting colleges, thinking of careers, and getting themselves ready for the real world. They had support and faith in each other that made them successful, and were the best of friends in the best of the classes.

Given the chance to play a part in the many activities of high school is exciting for the cast of freshmen . But as exciting a time as it is, it is also frightening for many. This ailment is commonly referred to as "opening night jitters." Will they like me? Will I fit in? Will the upperclassmen pick on me? Will I be able to do the work? For many, those frightening questions were never realized . Lisa Weber said, "I didn't worry about fitting in because as long as I had my friends from eighth grade, I knew they would be there to support me ." "I like being a freshman at St. Albert," said Trisha Deming, "everyone is really nice to me . I'm looking forward to trying out for cheerleading next year." Mike James said,"l thought the upperclassmen would pick on the freshman, but they don't do anything to you ." " I felt I would have to act more mature about getting my homework done because my parents would expect more from me since I was a freshman," said Bob Martin .

Freshman/ 135 Class of '8 9 climbs to Supporting Roles The freshman year was over and now you have a chance to be a sophomore. What is so special about being a sophomore in high school anyway? During the freshman year, you were always thought of as the youngest. Juniors were anxious to be seniors and so they ignored sophomores and tried to act older. Seniors were the models for underclassmen to look up to for a good example. So, why didn't we just skip the sophomore year altogether? Were there any advantages to spending a whole year on the "reserve bunch?" Monica Wood, a sophomore, feels good that she is not th~ youngest any more. Wood said, "You are older than one class, but you're not the oldest yet!" Sophomore Chad Kavars said, "It's just an extra year you have to go through before you graduate ." The Class of '89 thinks that during their sophomore year they grew closer and became better friends. During thefreshman year, there was always the worry of the big seniors picking on you or not finding your classes. Juniors went through the tedious task of choosing a college and also keeping grades up in order to be accepted for college. Seniors, alone, enjoyed the last year of high school. Sophomore, Peggy McGinn claimed, "I think we're really close and that we really care about each other." "People seem to accept you more ." Libby Arnold, a sophomore, said.

Between school and part-time jobs, the juniors still found time to take the ACT test, apply for colleges, sell candy bars for prom, and go out for fun with friends. Some began to face the reality of graduating and starting a new phase of the life cycle . "I'm looking forward to moving on in my life but it.will be hard to leave so much behind," said Kathy Alfers.

Final Performance Jon Bon Jovi told us on the blockbuster album "Slippery When Wet" that we should "Never Say Goodbye", while Billy Joel explained that "This is the Time" to remember. Both of these songs have one common theme-never lose touch with those you care for. The class of 1987 was always predicted to be one of the best to ever go through the SA doors of greatnes~, ~nd o~e of the most spirited. Beginning with pep rallies on the b . . h d us in s1xt gra e, the seniors continued with that kind of enthusiasm. An example of that spirit was at the Strategic Air Command (S.A.C.) band "Nightwing" assembly. The upperclassmen danced, stood on choirs and cheered, showing that "The Kids Wanna Rock!" during the Bryon Ad144/ Seniors ams' song. In the midst of that kind of enthusiasm, occasionally some people con feel left out or forgotten . Not so with the 70 members of the Class of '87. In the rowdiness and frivolty, a sense of unity was prevelant. That same unity was evident as 15 students gathered at Mercy Hospital on the night of the 1985 Homecoming pep rally to show support and concern for class mote Ron Marshall who was hurt during the festivities. Another time, an outpouring of core was shown for Ann Peterson ofter she was injured during a November hoy rock ride. Many classes tend to drift a pa rt and lose touch with their oneness. This was not the ca se with the Closs of '87. The unity was alwa ys there . Special days like the senior ring mass and the last days of retreat helped pull this class together even tighter than before. College life quickly approached, and the realization that this sense of togetherness would end, hit the seniors. After 13 years, the fun would be over, and many reflected on what classmates meant to him or her. Whether Bon Jovi said it best, or Joel was more accurate, is irrelevant. What is important, are the actions behind the words. We must never say goodbye, and at the same time, we hove to understand that these were the times to remember, and remem· ber them fondly we will.

Seniors/ 151 Evaluating, guiding, policymaking . .. Who has the final say? The Critics Many considered this year as a year of changes. To one man in particular this was a year for a big change. The Rev. Robert Chamberlain made a move from Dowling High School in Des Moines, to St. Albert High School. Fr. Chamberlain took Rev. Edward Hurley's position as Executive Coordinator of the St. Albert School System. "I was ready for a change," said Fr. Chamberlain. Coming to Council Bluffs brought him closer to many of his family members who live in the Omaha-Council Bluffs area. A graduate of Loras College, his first assignment for the church was to Dowling. He stayed for the next 22 years of his life. While at Dowling, he served as religion and social studies teacher, counselor, guidance director, and registrar. In Council Bluffs, Fr. Chamberlain is responsible for the whole St. Albert School System, from kindergarten to high school. He is also in charge of the religious education center and supervises the St. Albert Educational Foundation and Alumni activities. Fr. Chamberlain has a natural interest in young people. He was the oldest of nine children, growing up in Panama, Iowa. That interest in young people led him to a Masters degree in guidance and counseling, and he was involved in a group for teens called Alateen. It is a weekly support group for teenagers with alcoholic family members or friends . Fr. Chamberlain made a committment to continued improvement in the St. Albert System and to ensure that improvement he met weekly with principals and Rod Vallier, business manager. This was a means to keeping in contact with the daily operation of the schools. The report cards for the first year are in and it appeared that Fr. Chamberlain's service has been a positive beginning of a new era on the hill.

Harold Russell and Helen Scahoka take a much needed pop break in the faculty lunch room. Everyday on the hill begins as teachers start their classes. Everytn10 g runs on schedule smoothly. But how? The janitors, cooks, and secretaries keep everything backstage and behind the scenes running. Secretaries type announcements, take calls from parents of ill students, and keep daily tally of demerits in addition to their duties to Dr. Avise and Mr. Jaworski. Thecookss~veoverhot~ovesto serve hot, nutritious meals. Janitors stay on duty until the wee hours to make sure halls are sparkling clean for the next school day. At the end of every school day, they once again face heel scuff marks, litter, and locker fall-out. And they start all over again. At the business office secretaries take incoming money, count it and put it in the right account, as well as handling payroll, selling lunch tickets, and answering endless questions. The question is why? Gloria Blum said, "It's a very rewarding job, and I like working with kids." "I enjoy working with the students, said Joan Pursell. "I like their attitudes, their humor, their compliments, and their criti..:1sms. There are a lot of good students in this school with kind personalities," she added. Harold Russell summed it up by saying, "I enjoy the people and the chailenge." After all is said and done , we should toke a loo!( at the halls and pick up all the papers, eat the food with on open mind, read the announcements with greater pride, and take a moment to thank each and every one of our backstage workers that keep our school going. Dawn Rickard Stoff / 155 "You'll just feel a pinch and then it'll be all over." As I fay on a green vinyl bed I wonder, "Why do I put myself through this?" I look around the room, and I see nervous students anxiously awaiting an open bed. People give blood for diffrent reasons, usually to help others. MaryAnn Angeroth said, "I have one of the rarer blood types and it's a good service to do for other people." Senior Kari Larsen said, "I thought it would be a nice thing to do for lent." Whatever the reasons for donating blood it's an almost painless process to help a lot of people in need. The score of the dread disease Acquired Immune Deficiency, better known as AIDS has not diminished the generosity of St. Albert students. Generosity is not the only motive, however. Senior Mark Heenan said "I give blood for the cookies, of course." Nancy McPartland 156/ mini-mag Fr. Robert Hoetfler, Jeannette Schultz, Monico Wood, Deb McGuire and Mory Ann Poole demonstrate the ir cooperative spirit at a liturgy committee meeting. The scoreboard at Jock Murphy Stadium in Son Diego flashes the Holiday Bowl game between U. of Iowa and Son Diego State. The Howkeyes' spirit isn't dampened even though the field looks flooded! Hysteria Wherever John Q. Public went this past year, Iowa Hawkeye fans were sure to be around. The success of their athletic teams, especially basketball, seemed to bring out more than the usual number of fans. "The fan support is good. We need to support Iowa Schools because excelling in athletics is what it takes to keep our athletes here," said senior Donna Roane. The Iowa football team surprised the nation by going 9-3 and beating San Diego State by one point in the Holiday Bowl, despite losing key seniors Chuck Long and Ronnie Harmon to graduation. The wrestling team was cut short of their unprecedented 10th notional title by in-state rival, Iowa State. The championship come down to the final match in which an Iowa State wrestler pinned a wrestler from U of I. The women's basketball team missed a trip to the Final Four in Austin, Texas, by one point. They were defeated by Louisiana Tech, the eventual NCAA champions. Although their season ended with a disappointing loss, the Lady Hawks ha d their share of success. They had a record of 26-5 and tied with Ohio State for first in the Big Ten conference. If that wasn't enough to excite the fans, the Hawkeye basketball team proved to the doubtful that yes, fast break basketball is played in Iowa (and played well). The Hawkeyes were ranked as high as number one while never dropping from the top 10 throughout the season. They hushed all skeptics as they raced out to a record 18-0 start the best in Iowa history. ' Dr. Tom Davis, Iowa's first year coach (later named Associated Press coach of the yea r), brought a new dimension to Hawkeye basketball, adding a continuous full court press using as many as 10 players per game . Iowa finished their season with a loss to first-ranked University of Nevada at Las Vegas in the west regional final of the NCAA tournament, three points shy of a trip to New Orleans and the Fina l Four. The loss was painful to Hawkeye fans, but they looked back at that amazing 30-5 season and possibly ahead to more of them.

The paper stock used in the book is 80 pound Bordeaux. School art on the cover with applied green foil was custom designed by Matt Mullin. The book was printed in its entirety with black ink. Headlines and subheads were set in Chelsea Black in 48, 36 and 18 point. Body copy used was l 0 point Chelsea. Captions were set in 8 point Chelsea. Folios were set in l 0 point. Two Hundred copies of DIMENSIONS were printed. The theme of this year's DIMENSIONS was the show 'biz song, " Another Opening, Another Show." And no matter how great the show, and the enthusiasm of the cast and audience, the show always has a final curtain. Final because the cast, in this case the yearbook staff, has put the last spread in its envelope and closed down the computers on what was a very important year to them. Another staff will take over next year and make their mark on St. Albert The Great Catholic High School in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Some of us won't be back. We'll move on to colleges, careers and even marriages. But the memory of 1987 will never leave. It will remain in the scrapbook of our minds to be looked back upon and remembered with love .

Theme / 5 By striving towards new goals we; Created A Sensation As a painter creates a sensation with his masterpiece and a musician) makes a wave with the latest hit\ smash, we too at St. Albert's created our own kind of sensation in 1987 and 1988. From the beginning of the school year we did things that would set us apart from all the other students who have attended St. Albert. By_striving towards new goals to go farther than anyone before us, we had an effect on people. Whether it was in art class, band, on the field , or in the classroom, we surprised all , and made them be6/Theme lieve that we were special. But achieving this wasn't always easy . There were the long nights studying to learn your lines or trying to get that outside jumper to sink. The nights when you stayed up to make sure that you knew everything there was to know about Algebra II (If that is possible!). Then there were the t imes your team didn 't win in wiffleball and it kept coming back to haunt you for the rest of your P.E. days; or the time you thought that everybody was stoned , especially Scott O'Grady for wearing that tie of his all through high school. When all was said and done, you knew it was worth it all because there would be the satisfaction in knowing that someone was watching and they were impressed. Whether we decided to continue our education or start a career or family, the challenges of life will always face us. As St. Albert graduates , we have the solid foundation that will allow us to create a sensation in anything we do.

What with all the sports, our jobs, parties and other assorted activites that we can't go into for fear of censorship. For the most part we strove to keep our life in school and out of school balanced. For the times that we were out of balance we generally paid for it. Somehow, someway the administration always found out when we were out of line. For the times that we were in balance, we spent most of that time working. Whether it was selling clothes or selling canned goods; jobs were a vital part of survival in the 80's. Most of the money that we earned went to paying for car expenses, clothes, or just the necessary things for everyday life. What about the times when we were out of balance and we woke up not really knowing just exactly where we were and we really didn't want to know; we were just glad that we woke up. What about the times when we had to go to school the day after a late night concert and teachers actually wanted us to answer a question. But there were also the times when we just wanted to be alone with that special someone. Wether it was at the movies or for a romantic ride in the carriage in the Old Market, we held those times close to our hearts. The times that we spend outside of the rigorous 8:25 to 3:00 schedule, are the times that will be with us forever.

Student Life / 9 • • • • ' ' ' • • ,, • • Remember, For A Moment Student Life Take just a moment to look back on the year of 1987-88, and remember some of the exciting things we did. "What's going on tonight?" "Hey, did you hear about the party ... ?" Movies attracted many students on the weekend . "Dirty Dancing," "Three Men And A Baby," and "Fatal Attraction" were a few of the big blockbusters. For the late-nighters the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" assured a hilarious time but if you were in the mood for a quiet evening a VCR movie, and a few snacks would complete the picture. The Old Market was the place to go if atmosphere was the quest. Ted and Wally's scooped the best ice cream, and Daydreams provided good laughs, and every now and then a chuckle of embarassment from their "unique " cards. Taking a walk, having a picnic, or even sliding down the slides could be enjoyed at Central Park Mall. The highlight of the evening could be finding a party which was sometimes a 1 O I Student Life ' ' ' ' \ '\ ' rare occurence. Iowa Western and Creighton were some of the popular spots, but a party didn't always mean being crowded in a room with tons of people and deafening music. It could have been a few friends at Kentucky Fried Chicken, or a bunch of guys at a concert: Def Leppard, White Snake, and Whitney Houston were a few of the hot concerts during the year. Ringing up groceries, refereeing ball games, and selling clothes may not have been as fun as a concert or party, but work was a major activity which took up much time with students. Many weekends were given up to earn some extra money. Whatever activities were done, it was who we did them with that made them special, adventurous, and exciting: never forget the fun we had, not even for a moment.

Good Memories This years homecoming like others, was greatly anticipated and accepted by the students and faculty. The hit song by Bon Jovi, " Wanted Dead or Alive," was the theme throughout the week. Starting it off on Monday was Old Timer's Day as the students clad in all forms of senior citizen apparel: from Grandpa's golf pants for the guy, to gray-haired wigs and horned-rimmed glasses for the girls. Canes, walkers, and even wheelcharis, were also commonly seen . · Day two was good ol' be-boppin' 50's and 60's day. Seen around the school was the familiar clothing of that time: poodle-skirts, pony-tails, jeans and t-shirts, topped off with the slick, greased back pompador, with a smoke behind the ear. At the end of the day, they met in the gym for a sock hop. Wednesday everyone hit Jtie S.A. Beach, for Beach Day. Equipped with the natural beach attire, sunglasses, sun-oil, snorkels, and flippers . Karen Birusingh even came prepared to " hit the waves dude," with a surf board. A feeling of togetherness, peace, and oneness blanketed the school for Thrusday's Woodstock Day. Torn-up jeans, bell-bottoms, hippie hair, and signs of "Make Love Not War." Excitement was thick in the air that night for the annual pep-rally. Ag ain, the seniors reigned supreme in the final standings of the events. The finale of the evening found all eyes and ears peeled to find who would be crowned 198i's Homecoming King and Queen . Sean Davis and Cindy Petraitis were the royal ones chosen out of the honorary court of Chris Hanafan , Aaron Walter, Mark Lookabill, Doug Rew, and Steve Martin; Jill Pender, Amy Tobias, Jacqui Slater, Connie Ravlin, and Jean Sillik. Friday everyone wa s dressed to the nines for Dress-Up Day. The traditional Homecoming Mass proved in its success, that even in all the fun, we still have the time to show our love and thanks to God for the chance to have had the fun . That night, fans gathered in the Falcon Stadium to witness the Birds tar and feath er the Cathedral Cardinals 28-6 in the Homecoming Game. The week' s festivities came to an overwhelming climax at the Homecoming Dance.

Although these things are a major part of a students life, what about the things they do in school? A students life involves what they do all the time. A students life involves · everything that they do, creating new and exciting things to do around Saint Albert isn't easy, so the students on the hill like to stick to the basics. Whether it is going . to their favorite sports event to cheer on their special guy I gal or gathering in the halls before the last bell rings to get some last minute homework done or talking about last nights gossip. When three o'clock roles around there was always a practice to go to whether it was for a sport or for the play that was to be out. Ah , finally it was the weekend; oh , what to do? There was always time to go out and support the Falcons and Saintes after all that practicing they did. A students life is a way of creating a new sensation of finding things to do and ways to create better times for the things that come everyday.

Their existence is known but their goals and achievements are not as familiar. The Non-Users group, for example, met every Friday with Mr. Gordan Ord. He spoke with students on the effects of alcohol and drug abuse. Because the meetings are strictly confidential , the students involved felt comfortable relating their thoughts and feelings with the other members. For those students willing and able to compete at the academ ic level, the Brain Bowl offered them this opportunity. The team consisted of students who represented grade point averages ranging from 2.0 - 4.0. During the academic decathalons, the participants individually took written exams, gave prepared and impromptu speeches, and were interviewed by a group of judges . As a team, they also partic ipated in the Super Quiz at the end of the day. Thi s activity was governed in the same manner as a t.v. game show. Members of the team took turn s at answering questions against their opponents. These are only two examples of the many various clubs and organizations St. Albert has to offer. Although the school is small , it is worthy of the activities its organizations render.

Walking through the halls one bright, sunny morning in early December you might have noticed that there were plastic bags on the floor in front of the statue, brimming over with food and goodies for the poor and needy. And you might have noticed that Ms . Virginia Carbury received an award for her many years of service at Saint Albert during the allschool mass. Who, you ask is doing all these wonderful and amazing feats of goodness? Why, it's the student council. This out-going and nara-worKmg group of young leaders, not only govern the student body, but they start such things as the food drive and decorating the school for Christmas. "We also planned homecoming week and rewrote the constitution of the student council." said Matt Buchanan , secretary I treasurer of the student body. The student council also was involved in getting the new gym underway. This was recognized when student council President Cindy Petratis said a few words during the ribbon cutting ceremony, in which she thanked the many contributors for helping the dream come true . The members of the student council are elected by the students at the end of the previous school year, except for the Freshman memebers who are elected during their Freshman year. The student council works toward making St. Albert a better place to attend. While doing this they learn valuable lessons in leadership and responsibility and the students benefit by being able to have a way to work out problems within the school.

Something to ''Bragg'' about Counseling is more than answering questions for juniors and seniors. "It's a lot of responsibility being a counselor and trusting that you are meeting the needs of all the students that visit the counseling center." Counselor Dean Bragg's schedule is filled with versatility to keep him busy. Bragg co-teaches Peer Counseling with Mr. Kippley, and teaches a seventh and eighth grade guidance course. Bragg has other jobs that coincide with his job as counselor, like assisting with the registration and scheduling process, coordinationg and evaluating the schools testing program, checking on the progress of individual students on request of a parent or teacher, and organizing the Spring Awards program. Even with a hectic schedule, Bragg still has time to help counsel students having difficulties in social, educational, and family settings. When asked why he liked his job so well Bragg stated that it was because "of the student body, in regards to being kind , courteous, and respectful. " Bragg continued to state that he's "never been treated better by students, parents, teachers, and administration." Mr. Bragg has been a counselor and teacher in Nebraska for the past twenty-one years, and is one of the newest members of the St. Albert staff. Danielle Tighe Mr. Bragg calmly shows his concern while helping a student. Guidance I 23 New Comers .. . Write to the top Copyfitting, cropping pictures and deadlines were all familiar phrases to Journalism II students, but to the "new comers " these were unfamiliar and unfriendly terms . The year began by learning the basics: learning to write copy , draw layouts and of course, taking pictures. The class was given assignments and tests to insure that their comprehension of presented material was adequate. Senior Kevin Claussen said, "At first I didn't know if the class was for f!1e. It seemed like a big commitment, but so far it's turned out great." After the basics were learned, the class was given their very first yearbook and newspaper assignments. Applying their newly learned skills with help and encouragement from advisor Barb Yager, all deadlines were met. Junior Dan Ryan stated, "Miss Yager is tough, but I really enjoyed the challenge. When I saw my first story in print, it made all the hard work worth 24/ Journalism it." Along with working during school hours, the students were also required to attend a Wednesday night worknight. The atmosphere at work-night was more relaxed : students went from ties and dress shoes to sweatshirts and tennis shoes; the radio was played and students brought " brain food" to increase their creativity. "The purpose of work-nights was to allow students time to receive extra help and put finishing touches on layouts and stories ," stated advisor Barb Yager.

NEW IDEAS Walking into the room, a sense of belonging surrounded the Advanced Journalism students. Each person was so much alike and yet so different. Individuals had a unique way of expressing their ideas whether it was a story for the yearbook, or an inspiration during a Wild "brainstorming" session. Some Preferred to go off by themselves in a quiet corner, while others welcomed -help in a more casual circle of friends. " I write better under pressure. The closer the deadline the easier it is tor me. I like to get the opinion of some other journalism students when I write my stories," said Nancy McPartland. Assignments were given, deadlines met, and frustrations exposed. In the end, however, faces were bright with smiles of pride, and most of all relief. As a coach watches his team practice, and gets to know how each one plays, he realizes that everyone on the team has a completely different personality, and different goals. With Miss Barb Yager as the journalism " coach," the whistle was never blown to stop students from creating their own ideas or opinions. Last year was Miss Yager's first year in charge of the fun-filled Dimensions and Accipiter staff. " It was quite a job to pick up such a responsibility, but all-in-all the class went well. I tried to develop the idea that imagination can be combined with learning." The staff, which included Dennis Christiansen, Matt Buchanan, Tina DeChant, Jacqui Slater, Jeff Howard, Nancy McPartland, Cindy Persinger, Dawn Rickard, and Chuck Thorn, underwent many changes: layouts were drawn up differently, artwork was rare, deadlines were enforced, and the general style was slanted just enough to bring out the students own imaginations and creativity. Did we create a sensation? Through the friendships that will last forever, the 1987-88 Dimensions staff was able to create the yearbook and the paper. A sensation of pride and excellence was developed: Pride in the final creation of Dimensions and excellence in the creation of new ideas.

Combine Education Learn Together as One Attending two different schools for classes was a normal everyday schedule for a few of the seniors. These select few spent two hours a day at A.L. to attend advanced physics and chemistry classes. "Since S.A. is small, it has to limit the classes it offers. It's great that the students who have different interests can go to A.L. and other public schools and take classes there that they otherwise would have missed out on, " commented senior Becky Ficek. In return, students from A.L. attended a comp~ter class at St. Albert which was not offered at their school. These classes were taught by Mr. Belt in the convent during second and third hour everyday. Mr. Belt thought it was a good idea for students to commute back and forth to other schools. His philosophy was, " Another day, another A." Senior Chad McDermott said, "The A.L. students were a little more advanced than we were at first because Senior Becky Ficek makes chemicals during a lab experiment. 281 A.L. Exchange of their better background of chemisty. I feel last year we were cheated because of our chemisty teacher's lack of concern and laziness. Next year the juniors will have a better understanding of what's going on," McDermott continued , " it was also easier to skip, and we never had to eat the school lunch." Meanwhile the sophomores spent one semester trying to pass driver's education classes at Thomas Jefferson. The class used simulators to test their real life reactions to simulated conditions. The students also had actual driving tests: they drove anywhere from the one-way streets of Council Bluffs to the Westroads shopping mall in Omaha. The third part of the course was in-class instruction with written tests and assignments which included drawing maps of Council Bluffs streets and Council Bluffs interstate ramps and exits.

Using the gymnasium designs they had seen the three men came up with three separate ideas. The designs were then presented to the board which was put together to make the final decision about construction . The board, led by Dick Hamming, consisted of six peo- - . After reveiwing the information they had seen they were given the okay to start fundraising . Fundraising brought in approximately one million dollars to distibute throughout the school. The gymnasium received $150,000 to start construction. This , however, was not enough as construction of the gym required more money. This, in turn, delayed construction as alternatives to cutting costs and other sources of funds were looked at. "We had already spent -- $165,000 dollars and we still had to add tiles to the floor and some more beams in," said Athletic Director Mike Kavars. The gym consisted of a basketball court and an adjoining wrestling room, however, its main use was to be P.E. and basketball practice which took some of the wear off the old gymnasium floor. The administration also planned to hold social events such as the auction and other programs in the new gym. Once completed the administration planned to bring the weight room inside the building. • The construction of the new gymnasium presented St. Albert with the ability to further the sensation of accomplishment and pride in the athletic department. There were many people who contributed to the abiity to create this sensation and it is up to the future students to carry-out this attitude.

Student Life I 33 Various seniors find a close moment during Senior Ring Mass I Breakfast. Changes Foreseen; Religion Schedule Varies The religion department wasn't quite the same as it was in years past. There was a larger variety of courses to choose from, and students didn't have to sign up for a class according to what grade they were in. The idea of having more religion classes to choose from was to get the students more interested in religion . Church Issues and World Religion were a couple of the new classes that the students chose out of a student survey taken during the 1986-'87 school year. These classes were based on many social and religious beliefs. Father Kiernan felt that the classes "allow for more lee-way in scheduling." He also added, " the kids seem to like the new classes; and from what I can see, it looks as though the classes are working out fine." Even though the classes looked as if they were working for the students, the teachers of these classes had different problems. "I had never taught World Religion before so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect," said Tom Heithoff, "so what I had to do was just get a feel for the class and what I had to teach." Father Hoefler commented that one of the things he liked about the greater adversity in class choice was that certain courses were not specifically assigned to certain grades. Under the old program , Hoefler felt that students couldn't get as varied of an education on religion as compared to the new program. As for the future, a course dealing with public service looks like a possibility. With more courses to choose from, religion classes and retreats should end up being received much better by the students in the future.

''Carousel'' Creating is not an unfamiliar word when it comes to the theater. It's what actors do best. St. Albert is at the top when it comes to this starting with the fall musical " Carousel." The show began in the late spring of 1987. The cast worked hard throughout the summer with choreography, requiring each cast member to attend five workshops. Joann Cady worked hard, teaching basic dance steps and combinations to students. When school resumed the cast put what they had learned during the summer on the stage with lines and the music. Due to a large cast, new and old faces were in abundance; some " old timers" were Troy Hemmingsen and Peggy 36/Drama McGinn. One newcomer included senior Maureen O'Gara, "I was a little nervous at first I didn't think I could remember all my lines, but everyone was glad to help and that made it easier." High school students were not the only ones involved in "Carousel." Several jr. high students were needed to be in the chorus and to portray Enoch Snow's children. The show gave the junior high students an introduction to theater without much responsibility . The show opened on November 6th and played to a full during its run.

Freshman physic al sc ience students don aprons and prepare for their lab . 38 / Science Science at S.A.: ''Hands-On'' Approach Taken Science isn't a department that receives much attention but in all actuality it is an important part of the school curriculum. The department classes include Biology and Advanced Biology taught by Mr. Dolnicek and Chemistry, Physics, and Physical Science taught by Mr. Schnitker. Mr. Dolnicek began teaching at St. Albert in 1975 and has stayed ever since. Mr. Dolnicek enjoys students, which is one of the reasons why he enjoys teaching so much. In the classroom Mr. Dolnicek tries to teach to each person in his class and to give everyone some hands on experience. He tries to get his students to use problem solving techniques and pratical application, rather than just repetition . "I kind of like it when a plan comes together" said Mr. Dolnicek "we give them a little knowledge and they apply it." It's this part of teaching that gives Mr. Dolnicek a sense of accomplishment. As a teacher Mr. Dolnicek sees each year as a new challenge with new faces and new personalities, therefore, the same information is being differently by a new group of kids. On the other side of the tracks is Chemistry teacher Mr. Stephen Schnitker. Mr. Schnitker graduated from Saint Albert in 1968 and returned to teach in 1972 at St Albert. After two years he left to pursue a career change. While he was away Mr. Schnitker missed what he enjoyed most about teaching . The ability to determine how and what he wanted to do in the course, how to plan it, and carry it through while learning from the experience. So he returned this year to teach chemistry. One of the things he noticed was that the school was smaller "but they now have a greater diversity of classes." Mr. Schnitker would like to make some changes in his class in the next few years like such as the number of labs, new books, and improving the facilities . Mr. Schnitker has always preferred chemistry because of his own personal tastes but judging the student responses, he thinks the students enjoy the the organizational and systematic concepts best. Many students view the science department as a stepping stone to future plans. " I will eventually need it if I decide to go into the medical field ", said junior Greg O'Grady . However, most students seem to enjoy the labs and watching chemical reactions take place. The highlight would seem to be on the dissecting of frogs . "I think it'll be fun to see the innards and stuff," commented sophomore Adam Jones. Matt Fenner Mr. Schnitker explains a lab to freshman Matt Noon. Science / 39 Social Studies ... History, the key to the future " St. Albert has one of the best social studies programs in the state of Iowa," stated social studies instructor Ken Meshling, "our teachers here at St. Albert are all devoted in their field of social studies," said Mr. Meshling. Mike Kavars also agreed adding that St Albert offers " four years of social studies while most others only offer three." St. Albert offers a variety of courses in the social studies field such as contemporary history, world history, government, United States history, economics, psychology, sociology, and honors history. " To give the kids here such a variety of classes expands Mr. Wettengel shows his coolness to the camera. 401 Social studies their knowledge," stated Mr. Shorey. History is an important part in everyone's life. History helps us realize where we have been and where we are going; it helps us to realize the mistakes our forefathers have made and the improvements that have been made in our society. "I enjoy learning about the past to see the changes that have been made," said Mr. Kavars. Mike Herbert adds "If we did not know about the past then how would we know where we came from and how we got to be where were at now." " I think that history is one of my most interesting subjects and even if it wasn't required for four years I would still take it," said Scott Jones. The improvements that the teachers would like to see in the department are varied . Mr. Meshling stated "I would like to see mo r e honors history classes picked up for the students who would like to keep on going in social studies ." "All the equipment we have to use the maps , globes , projectors, and VCR's help teaching," said Mr. Wettengel. Mr. Kavars added " the projectors and VCR's are almost always available when we need them ." Mike Brisso Mr. Wettengel teaches two of his fine students.

Personal Development With the stroke of a brush and the spinning of a pottery wheel the arts and crafts classes have learned to create their own sensation. With art director, Deb McGuire inspiring her students, it was easy for a closeness to develop between teacher and student. " We can express our most intimate thoughts through our work, with class members, and Ms. McGuire," stated junior, Dawn Hite. Whether you were a beginner trying to learn the color wheel or a developed artist learning how to air brush, the emphasis in these classes was personal development. "Art let's me be myself, it's a way to express myself through color and design," explained senior, Kathy Alters . Each student at St. Albert has a talent whether expressed or hidden. Through arts and crafts these students were able to discover and improve their talents which were displayed in many forms: whether it was in the art room, on the wall , throughout the school or on a ceil ing tile these talents definitely can not go unnoticed. "I don't push people or strive to make them artists, I just let them express themselves through art on paper," stated Ms. McGuire. Inspiration was a key word in art. Many students found their inspiration coming from within themselves: a collage of past and present experiences: others found motivation through external forces : fellow young artists , music and poetry. With this in mind , it was easy to see that the arts and crafts are an important factor in creating and developing individualism at St. Albert Amy Tobias Freshmen Brian Avise and Meg Gronstal share artis· tic ideas in Art 1.

Choir to unified sound The '88 St. Albert choir was one that was both physically close and also unified vocally. The 87-88 year was a good one for the choir, with many performances and talented students. "I love to sing. I feel that our class is pretty close and I really enjoyed working with choir members," said Junior Peggy McGinn. A regular day in choir consists of working on new material for upcoming events, going over details about competitions, and learning individual parts. A great amount of time is also spent practicing learned material which helps make the choir sound like well-practiced singers. The choir is also involved in competitions, mostly in solo and ensemble but also in the All City Music Festival. Troy Hemmingsen and Peggy McGinn participated in duets and Peggy McGinn also sang two solos in the solo and ensemble corripetition in late March. With the help of the energetic and devoted Mr. Kippley the choir reached new heights of togetherness and oneness. Mr. Kippley is the key to bringing this group of diverse individuals into a single harmonious sound . The choir functions as a team, but creates with the specialization of the individual.

College applications are Christmas cards, you wouldn't want to forget anyone important, and most would like to sit back, relax and get things in order. TEC offers that oppurtunity. Teens Encounter Christ is a three day weekend at St. Thomas Moore Center. There are approximately ten TEC's offered during the school year, from which seniors choose. The purpose of TEC is to give students time to think about what they have accomplished, what lies ahead of them, but most important it helps students realize what they have. There are no pressures in the weekend; the students are there to talk about their life, forget about school and the pressures of teen life for three days. Seniors from all across Iowa attended TEC and it was a good oppurtunity to gain new friends, cherish the old ones and have fun with both.

The pom-poners won every award at the Iowa State Porn-Pon camp, went to Nationals in Anaheim, California and two girls were invited to travel abroad and perform. The 1987-88 pom-pon squad consisted of seniors Beth Quigley,Jacqui Slater, Jill Pender, Tina DeChant, Becky Ficek, Amy Tobias, Kathy Alters, Cindy Persinger, and Connie Ravlin. Junior members were Gina Gronstal, Libby Arnold, Sh ila Behrensen, Laurie Coats, and Dawn Hite. Sophomores Megan Ryan, Jenni Kruse rounded out this elite group. At the Iowa State Porn-Pon Camp the girls won the home routine award tor the routine "Hit That Perfect Beat/ Wipeout." In addition to that award they won the Squad Routine trophy which is learned at camp, the Sweepstake trophy which is based on total blue ribbons, the Award of Excellence which is given to the best squad out of 28. They also won the Spirit Megaphone and the Spirit Stick. Not only did the girls come out of the camp with a birth at Nationals, Beth Quigly was asked to perform at the halftime show at the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu and Jacqui Slater was invited to go to England and Ireland. While in Ireland Jacqui performed in the parade celebrating the 1 OOOth birthday of Dublin and performed at the Lord Mayors of Dublin ball. Even though Beth Quigly and Jacqui Slater are Captain and Co-Captain they did not have sole responsibility in the creation of their routines . "Everybody had to develop at least one routine." said senior Jacqui Slater. Dennis Christiansen Sophomore Megan Ryan shows her practiced pom-pon smile while at pompon camp.

After winning every award at the Iowa State Porn-Pon camp, this years St. Albert's pom-pon squad was picked to perform along with 25 other squads tron across the nation in the 1987·1988 Nationals in Anaheim, California . Although it took alot of hard work and dedication to get to Anaheim, once the girls were there it was mostly fun and games. The first day in California they did what all natives of Cali· fornia do; head to the ocean. A group of six daring girls decided to go into the water whether they had bathing suits or not. The next destination for the pom-poners was the Chi· nese Theater and the Walk of Fame. After marvelling at the hands and feet of many a superstar they were off to spend New Year's Eve at Disneyland where the girls saw Richard Marx and Expose in concert. The next day was spent at Disneyland with the day being capped off by a party and dance for all the pom-pon girls. But on Saturday it was down to business as the girls started the day out with two practices in the morn ing and the rest of the day was spent having a birthday party for sponsor Deb McGuire, Connie Ravlin , and Shelia Behrense . Sunday, January 4th was spent at th e malls, as the girls shopped the day away. After a hard day of shopping the pommers went to the world famous Hard Rock Cafe to indulge in some California atmosphere. Universal Studios was th e last stop on this trip tor th e girls. They viewed such famou s lot s as th e house on the hill in the "Psycho" films, they almost got devoured by the flesh eating shark from " Jaws ", and the ape that took New York by storm King Kong. Amon g th e days events, Kathy Alters was able to join the ranks of Neil Armstrong and John Young, as she was lifted off the earth into the air in th e studi os space suit. Dennis Christiansen Nationals I 5 1 Cheer, Cheer For The S.A. Spiritleaders! The 1987-88 cheerleading squads were full of enthusiasm and school spirit: cheering at pep rallies , creating spirit signs and ten girls were able to attend a summer camp. Any Varsity member had the opportunity to participate at the NCA cheerleading camp in August. The camp was held in Ames, Iowa, and was four fun-filled days that included chants, cheers, pyramids, techniques and 'friends. " Camp was fun . We learned how to make great pyramids and learned a lot of new cheers and chants. We also met a lot of people," said Sheila Konz. The camp taught cheerleaders to project their cheers and different ways to create spirit and excitement during the games. The cheerleaders who attended were Sheila Konz , Marsha Heenan, Paulette Chullino, Lynn Quinze, Danielle Tighe , Michelle Doner, Mary McClellan, Gina Tolliver, Melodie Schlautman, and Maureen O'Gara. They all agreed that camp was a great experience and was worth every sore muscle and all the sweat. Although neither the J.V. nor freshman squads were able to go to camp, cheerleading did give them many great memories. J.V. member Amy Lookabill said "The bus trips were fun because it brought everyone together. Now we're all close friends." Cha Ii Inserra, a freshman cheerleader said, "At the beginning of basketball season I felt intimidated by the large squads from other schools, but we did really good the last few games." The togetherness of each individual squad was very apparent. But when put together they equaled just one squad, the 1987-88 Saint Albert Spiritleaders.

SENIOR...---~ Tim Shea struts hi s stuff at Prom '88. 54/SENIORS Senior Kathy Alters a.k.a. " Digs" enjoys herself at the Sock Hop. "It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hope, and a world of fear. There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware it's a small world after all." This popular tune from our childhood days described the way the class of '88 felt as they left the doors of St. Albert for the last time. They were eager to face the challenges the world had to offer, but behind those eager faces was anticipation and fear. No longer did they have each other to talk, laugh, and cry with. They were on their own. Although some may establish successful careers or start families of their own , the memories of their senior year will live on in their heart s forever. It will be nearly impossible to forget: the school dances with the dreaded breath analyzer, the road trips and overnight stays in Des Moines during the State Basketball Tournament, skip day(s), and of course the junior I senior prom . There are endless oth er fond memories that each senior will always remember. The Class of '88 will look back on their senior year with a smi le and a tear. Tina DeChant Seniors Jerry Lenihan and Sean Davis wet their whistles during Skip Day. SENIORS~- SENIORS/ 55 56/Seniors Jeff Howard, David Meyerring, Kevin Claussen try their luc k during casino night. It's been the ... Time Of Our Lives. Concerts, parties, skip day, or just plain hanging out were all a part of this year's senior class' good times and as in most years there was a certain togetherness that was felt. Whether it was due to the fact that this was our final year together or just because we realized that we all had some redeeming qualities to lend in making this year's class one of the best. This year's Senior class seemed to have a certain quality to it that separated it from all the rest. The class showed its ability to share during the _ a nnual St. Albert Feast Day. We shared our humor with the future of St. Albert, laughing with S.A. primary students during story-time and recess. "It gave the class the opportunity to remember what it was like when we were young," stated Jeff Howard. Whether that quality was the humor that all of us possessed, the ability to crack a joke at any given moment to lighten up a situation or the fact that we could rise to a challenge, meet and surpass the challenge. But what ever the 1987-88 Senior class quality was, it doesn 't change the fact that St.Albert will never have another class which can be compared . It's been said that these are going to be the best years of our lives and that these years should be the times that we remember. This was evident in this years Junior- Senior Prom. "This is the Time to Remember" was the theme that took us through the night as we danced, roller skated, partied or went to casino night on our final prom. The annual senior skip day gave us another last time together to look back . and remember. The day was one of the few times that most of the seniors could get together for a few hours of closeness as a group. So it really has been the time of our lives, but we've only lived eighteen years of that life. What's ahead for us as we leave the halls of good ole' S.A.? Were these really the best times? Most of the class is going off to college and will meet new friends and have more opportunities to reach out and fulfill themselves so we'll never know how good our senior year was until we are settled in or chosen paths. We will then be able to look back and remember all the good times we had. Dennis Christiansen ,,.- ,. . =! \. ·~ / . t .

On April 23rd, as the couples walked through the silver tunnel, they entered a modern world. The gym was filled with red , white, black, and silver streamers. A shining city lined the gym, gorgeous white palm trees were waving in the air and the unique looking mannequins seemed to be dancing every now and then. Although there were mixed emotions about having prom in the new gym, it was easier for the juniors to decorate since it was much smaller. The junior class had many people help with the decorations. As usual the same people were there practically every night, but they even had. students help who were not going to Prom. "I didn't think I would like it being in the new gym, but I did. It turned out really well. I think the decorations turned out better because it is so much smaller," said senior Tina DeChant. One anonymous senior commented, " I think they cut a lot of corners. It didn't seem quite as neat this year." The Prom court consisted of juniors Theresa Fischer, Julie Holder, Peggy McGinn, Steve Oberdin, Brian O'Connor, and Brian Ratigan. The seniors were Cindy Petratis, Connie Ravlin, Amy Tobias, Doug Rew, Mark Lookabill, and Chris Hanafan. Chris Hanafan and Amy Tobias were the newly crowned King and Queen. Post Prom began at 12:30 at Rolla Rena East. Many couples attended and had a great time. It was more like a Roller Derby for some people and the bumps and bruises were there to show for it. The limbo and the numerous drawings for prizes were favorites of the night. Casino Night took place in the new gym after skating . Craps, blackjack, and chuck-a-luck were the most popular games. While some students were desperately trying to stay awake, others were raking in the "money" and the prizes. Also at Casino Night was a big screen T.V. showing movies in the wrestling room. Mass was offered for any students, parents, or faculty that wanted to attend. For some students, Post Prom wasn't their idea of fun . As in past years, hotel rooms and private parties were popular. " We went to a hotel room because we had alot of friends who came and partied with us, and it was a GREAT time!" said Nancy McPartland. To conclude the evening and morning events some couples watched the sunrise together, others slept through it, and still others continued to party. Although every couple celebrated prom in different ways, everyone shared similar feelings that they will always remember: Jacqui Slater Gina Gronstal, Libby Arnold, Jacqui Slater, and Amy Tobias have a great time whi le skating.

The Saint Albert tradition was carried on with excellence this year as girls cross country, football and boys basketball teams all went to state. The fall saw the girls cross country team have another blistering season winning nine meet titles, placing first at districts and third at the state meet in Ames . The Football team compiled a impressive 8-1 season. The Falcons , however, fell victim to Shenandoah 21- 14 in the first round of the state playoffs. The Falcon basketball team gave us two weeks of excellent basketball in the state of Iowa as the Falcons took their 22-1 record into Vets Auditori um. The Falcons won their first two games to advance to the championship game against Perry. Unfortunately, the Falcons lost 76-60 to take second in class 2A. The season was a tribute to the Falcon's hard work and dedication by overcoming many injuries throughout the season. The remaining sports were just as successful. Although not all of th em had outstanding records, each team and individual gave 11 0%, if not more. This amount of participation is a trademark which St. Albert students take pride in.

Though the Nonpareil and most other observers had·this on their mind the Falcons had other things such as , Conferance Champs and state-playoff bid . Most were talking about the past while the Falcons went on to humiliate their first five opponents by a combined total score of 181-27. The Falcons only regular season loss came against Omaha Roncalli. Falling behind 21-0 in the second quarter, the Falcons ended the half on a 53 yard flea flicker from Aaron Walter to Steve Martin to Brian Ratigan for a touchdown . The Falcons dominated Roncalli in the second half holding them to only 89 total yards. The Falcons comeback fell short though, as trailing 21-14, an onside kick failed enabling Roncalli to run out the clock. Strong wins against Holy Name (34- 8) and St. Joseph (34-0) propelled the 7-1 falcons into a home playoff birth againest the Shenandoah Mustangs. The Falcons scored first on a fifteen yard run by Walter but it just wasn't meant to be for the falcons as Shenandoah scored two second quarter touchdowns and never looked back. The Falcons could never get back on track losing 21 -7. The Falcons placed 12 of the 24 all Conference Members and five honorable mentions ; the Falcons also broke many school records scoring , total yards , averaging yards per game and least scored upon defense .

Varsity Football/ 75 Team record deceiving; Frosh/ JV give their best Freshmen football, the newest members to the Saint Albert athletic team, started the season with eager minds and talents to be discovered. The freshmen lost three out of their four games and won their last match-up. The freshmen year, however, is one used to find faults and strengths in individual players. "I just wish the season could have gone a little better," s1ated coach Loren Lintner. The freshmen team consisted of the following people: Brian Avise, Matt Vanscoy, Jay Killion, Greg Miller, Matt Helms, Robert Wise, Jim Romano, Brett Moffat, Matt Noon, Chris Gard, Cory Sautter, Steve Edelbrock, Matt Blizzard, and coach Loren Lintner. The junior varsity team also spent the season discovering their capabilities and talents, and were able to have fun . The team 's season ended with a 1-4 record. Their one win came agai'nst Abraham Lincoln. " It really felt great to beat Abraham Lincoln , it was the highlight of the season," said sophomore Chris Morton . The team also found that winning isn't everything, " I had a fun season , even though we may not have played the best , we had a fun time at the games and besides we beat Abraham Lincoln for the first time in ten years, so we couldn't have played all that bad," stated sophomore teammate Bob Martin. The junior varsity team cons isted of the following people: Bill Pattee, Dave Hawk, Matt White, Jarod Konz , Rob Will iams, Rob Dressel!, Matt Fenner, Dan Ryan , Chris Morton, Bob Martin, Mike Herbert, Wayne Johnson, Pat Nieland, Tim Minor, John Conzemius, Bill Nettels and head coach Dick Wettengel.

Another State Meet The 1987 Saintes Cross Country team pulled off another stunning season going to state for the 5th time in the six years Coach John Shorey has been at the helm. Once again it was a banner year, the Saintes finished 1st in ten meets finishing second once at Red Oak; They took their 7th straight conference champ'ionship; and they took first at district and 3rd at state the best in Saintes cross country history. The Saintes were led by senior Jean Sillik who pulled off another impressive season. Despite being hampered by injuries throughout most of the season Sillik place first in 9 meets and second in the other two. Her most impressive victory of the season was a come from behind victory at the N.C.C. in which she set a course record for a 2.5 mile course of 15:32. Sillik won the district meet for the second consecutive year and placed 7th at the state meet. Sophomore Shelly O'Brien, rightfully so, was named most improved runner by her teammates. O'Brien finished in the top five in every meet except one. She placed second at Districts behind Sillik. At the state meet she finished 12th improving from 48th her freshmen year. None of the team's success would have been reached without the strong running of juniors Theresa Fischer and Sherry Slobodnik. Good things were also seen from Rookie of the Year Diane Fi scher.

They placed as high as second at the Glenwood Invitational behind individual champion and most valuable runner Tim Shea. A major highlight of the season for the boys was bringing home the runner-up trophy from the Nebraska Centennial Conference that was held in David City, Nebraska. Although seniors played the main role, there were also three more runners who lettered which added to their varsity experience: Junior Wayne Keefer and sophomores Mark Shea and Adam Jones. Keefer has been a three year letter winner and was third runner all season. He played a major role in the Falcons success and will be the team's leader next year as a senior. The competiveness within the team and against other schools was clearly shown by having seven runners letter, yet only five run varsity. "It was a great first year for me, it was like a great big family having fun and getting serious about running" said frosh Kevin Ryan. "I was real proud of the effort and work the boy's put in. They should be proud of their accomplishments. They were definitely one of the best teams in southwest Iowa this season," stated sixth year veteran coach John Shorey. Junior Greg McDonald and Freshman Kevin Ryan ran J.V. this season for the Falcons. Both showed promise and are ' expected to move up to the varsity level and contribute to the team's success next season. Jean Sillik Pat Thompson leads a pack of runners during the A.L. Invitational.

Cross Country / 81 A satisfying season; look towards a ... Promising Future! The 1987 Saintes Volleyball team, under new first year coach Tom Heith· off, were by far, unimpressive. The team, however, accomplished one of their main goals · to have fun. The only downset was the girls hard· to-swallow record, which is actually misleading. The Saintes averaged 1 O points per contest, keeping it close. Because the team was young in knowledge and experience, Heithoff wanted to play a solid six, but instead was playing nine. The silver lining, being next year will host six letterwinners plus eight with varsity experience. The seasons leading standouts were: -In serving, Susi Eberhard had 91 % accuracy, and also led the team with 31 aces. Following were Karla Miller and Becky Ficek who both had 90% serving accuracy. ·In serve-re· ceiving, Jill Pender led with a 81 % returning average, while Ficek, again, was just behind with a 79% ratio. ·In kills, Annette Hunter was the leader with 41 , followed by Shari Hughes who had 32. -Jacqui Slater and Amy To· bias, not only did a nice job filling in wherever needed, but also had the best attitudes, in giving their support for the team. As for next year, Jenny Rawlings, Cindy Corbaly, Jen Brown, and Laurie Coats. will fill some nice spots. Next year, Heithoff said he will be emphasizing athletic ability. " I'm going to tell the girls that the best six girls are going to be out there. Those who won't be afraid to play some hard defense of hitting the floor and getting a couple bruises." As for this year and years to come, Coach Heithoff phrased his thoughts quite well by saying, "Winning seasons are a result of a lot of hard work and pain from other seasons."

"Great effort and desire," is how Mrs. Beckman described the junior varsity and freshman volleyball teams. The freshman team finished an excellent season with an impressive 14-1-2 record. The freshman played consistent and very near their potential the entire year. " I feel that everyone played the best they could and gave all they had," explained freshman Stephanie Klement. - With hard practices and good effort the freshman prospered. "Team work improved with each game along with the will to win," explained Beckman. "Our team set goals to do the best we could, to work as a team and to win more than we lose," expressed Stephanie Klement. With all their efforts the freshman succeeded in these goals.

"We had a lot of talent on the court but we just couldn't put it together," stated Jen Brown. "A referee at the A.L. tournament even said to us that we play like champs one minute and the next we play like we haven 't seen a volleyball before. We would have won a lot more games if we were more consistent. " The team finished the season with a 3- 13-1 record but that isn't characteristic of the teams played for the whole season. "Their basic skills and teamwork improved greatly," said Beckman . With both teams possessing a lot of talent the future for S.A. volleyball looks very bright. "In the upcoming years I feel the volleyball team will be very prosperous, " acknowledged Stephanie Klement. Steve Oberdin Lisa Spears blocks an attempted spike.

JV VB / 85 A Challenging season fullfilled by Saintes Year a Complete Success The season was a performance beyond expectation; yet many changes affected the team: the loss of six seniors, a new coach and a young defense. " With only eight varsity members, each player had to count . .. all five players on the floor had to be great," stated coach Tom Heithoff. The Saintes finished in the top of their divisiol'\, holding opponents defensively to less than 40 points a game. The team also ended up 1- 1 in the final four of the NCC tournament, beating Holy Name 55-37 before losing to Wahoo-Newman 45-35. To acheive this successful season, the team developed a list of five goals at the beginning of the season and accomplished all but one. The Saintes also had the challenge of adjusting to their new coach, yet even this hurdle was overcome by the Saintes. " Heithoff designed plays to fit the team' s strengths" stated junior Shelly Nelson, " everyone tried hard and coach kept us going." Adding to the acheivement of the teams goals was their ability to play as a unit. " I think we really played as a team; everybody contributed to the program," stated junior cager Theresa Fischer. According to coach Tom Heithoff, the year was, " A total and complete success by the team, with a performance beyond expectations."

Future for Girls Basketball Looks Great Frosh and JV Girls Storm Through Season This season proved to be quite a surprise and a success for the freshman Saintes and for head coach Pat Kroll. "We really played some tough teams and I'm glad the season turned as great as it did," said Kroll. The Saintes finished the season with an excellent record of 7-2, which is one of the more impressive records over the last few years. The Saintes added team cooperation and great effort in every game which equaled success. "The team really tried hard in practice and in games which is the reason for a 7-2 record," stated Kroll. "I feel that everyone gave their best, and with a season like this it will inspire everyone to keep giving it their best next year also," said teammate Kari Hanafan. With a freshmen team like this, these Saintes should prove to be a great team in the future. With 6 out of 10 players on the jv. team being from the freshman team the season was very much the same, which means another winning season for the Saint Albert girls basketball. "Since alot of the girls played freshmen as well as iv. they had a lot of time in practice which, in turn, helped both team records," stated coach Pat Kroll. The j. v. finished the season with a 12-3 record; this season in Saintes basketball will long be remembered by many.

Uncertainty surrounded the start of the Falcons year with junior Brian Ratigan as the only returning starter and due to an illness was out his first five starts. But the uncertainity was short lived as the Falcons flew to a 5-0 record and were ranked fourth in state. The Falcons only loss of the season came on the road against CarrollKuemper. Although the Falcons were down by as many as 19 they quickly rebounded defeating city rival A.L. in a come-from-behind win, with the final score being 55-54. The Falcons went into the N.C.C. with a 9-1 record, and defeated David City Aquinas and Boystown. In the final game the Falcons downed Columbus Scot us 4 7-31 to take the crown. The Falcons finished the season ranked second with a record of 20-1 . The Falcons defeated Red Oak 70- 61 in their first round of district playoffs.

The team hit its strides after two early loses to Red Oak and Lewis Central. "We had some pretty high goals to start the season but after we lost twice we did them over." stated junior Tony Kruse. The team played with more consistency each game as they began to gel together. The effort given this year was great and it showed. "I called them a 'blue collar team' because I thought we worked hard for every victory" expressed head coach Dick Wettengel. "We had to work a lot harder than other J.V. teams in the past," added junior Dale Scott. From beginning to end the team improved, and most nights the team played to its ability. "With a good off-season, if they work hard some of these players will help with our varsity," stated Wettengel. The freshman team posted a 5-10 rl3cord this season. The freshman were led by the strong play of Marc Schnitker. " We gave a lot of effort this year but we probably should have won a few more," commented Schnitker. "We gave a lot of effort in the games and I think we will do better next year," commented Matt Fischer. • Steve Oberdin 53 43 25 57 31 56 42 37 61 57 38 43 40 48 54 59 SA 29 72 65 51 64 61 52 56 48 63 64 54 59 70 81 66 JVBB/93 Sophomore, Bob Martin, tries to predict his opponents next move. 94 I Wrestling Wrestlers struggle through season Year full of ups 'n downs The 1987-88 St. Albert wrestling team had another up and down season ending with an 0-7 record. The team was aggresive but lacked in numbers and experience needed to end with a winning season. "The team had the right attitude but they just didn 't know how to win," stated senior Steve Martin . The team progressed to become self confident and tried develop a stronger image. Martin wrestled in 5 out of 6 tournaments this year due to an injury at a city meet stating "I got first at Conference, 3rd at St. Josephs, 3rd at Audubon and 4th at West Harrison." Although there were no state qualifiers, one individual went to districts, junior Steve Oberdin. Oberdin's record for the season was 6-18 with six matches being very close. "I concentrate on thinking about three moves at a time. If one doesn't work you have to come back with another move," stated Oberdin, who used this method during and before matches. The teams best match was against Carrol-Kuemper. The team started out winning 3 out of the first 5 and came close on the next six. "Individual wins were helpful. You need the majority of wins or the major wins for more points but the inexperienced-self confidence hurt in duals . We had good team spirit," stated Lintner, " just wait until next year." Dawn Hite Golf becoming popular with students ... Future Looking Brighter for S.A. Golfers The 1988 Boys and Girls Golf team teed-off to a great start this season. The season, however, didn't go as expected. " I knew what the boys golf team was capable of accomplishing and what I should expect from them . They have, so far, defeated these expectations," stated coach Scott Belt. " I think that we could be playing a little better, but we're doing about what I figured we would," said senior Sean Davis. . "Golf is becoming a very popular sport in high schools every where, and with that comes many great golfers, which creates quite a challenge," stated senior Doug Struyk. For the Girls Golf team the season looked good. "I think we deserved to get as far as we have because we have worked so hard at it through the year's," said senior Kathy Alters. The team only has three seniors, and with that the team has to work harder due to the inexperience, but "they did all right for being such a young team," stated coach Mike Kavars.

Track Team Hurdles Many Challenges The 88 track season started out with a larger than usual team with both new members and seasoned veterans. The season began at a slow pace for the track team with thier first meet being missed due to the boys state basketball tournament and their second meet the C.B. Relays being cancelled due to weather. When the season finally got under way a must see event at every track meet was the 4-100. This relay which qualified for the Drake relays consisted of seniors Doug Rew, Junior Todd Klien , - sophomore Brian Brabec, and junior Trent Holmberg. . Along with a strong team of sprinters the Falcons also had great long dis98/Track tance runners in Tim Shea, Pat Thompson, and Wayne Keefer. Tim Shea set himself among St. Alberts elite runners this year and came in a close third just missing qualification for state, while Pat Thompson struggled through his injury to make strong showings but also fell short of making state. The Falcons also had many participants in field events this year. Brian Ratigan , Dan Ryan , and Chuck Simms were involved in shot put and discus , while Doug Rew and Chris Gard set new personal records in the long jump. The Falcons didn't always place as high as hoped and met dissapointment at districts where no one qualified for the state meet yet had four third place finishes with only the top two finishers going to state. One problem that arose this year was that of injuries . Injuries plagued the Fa lcons. Pat Thompson suffered a knee injury in preseason, Jonathon Johnson had a severe hamstring pull at the Clarinda Invitational, and Mark Brisso was ill with mono which kept him out until th e end of the season. The season which started slowly for the Falcons was a year filled with personal records and hard work. even if th e chances of winning weren 't the best , the effort and strive to make oneself the best pushed the Falcons forward . Dan Ryan Junior Jason Smith leads th e pack in the hurd les at the C.B. Relays. Team Hurdles Obstacles ... Injuries Hinder Goals and Performances The 1988 Saintes track season began with great optimism. Although injuries hampered the performances for Cindy Petratis and Jean Sillik and ended the season for Carrie Miller and Sherry Slobodnik, Coach John Shorey felt that the team " had a good season, but due to injuries we fell a little short of our expectations. " The season was full of ups and d"awns yet several team members attended the state meet in ' Des Moines. Individually, veteran trackster Jean Sillik competed in the 3000 meter run while Shelley O'Brien ran the 800. Putting their talents together were Cindy Petratis, Karla Miller, Shelley O'Brien and Jean Sillik running the distance medley relay. Although none of the ladies placed, their efforts in each event were commendable. As for the future of Saintes track, the future looks bright. Freshman Kristie Gross found this to be true . " The first year of high school track was a lot different from junior high track. We work hard and it paid off when we did good at the meets." Members of the 1988 Saintes track team were : Freshman Kari Hanafan, Kristi e Gross, Tina Ryan, Christy Hunter.and Diane Fischer; Sophomores Shelley O'Brien, Carrie Miller, Andrea Leggio and Jenny Rawlings ; Juniors Julie Holder, Theresa Fischer and Karla Miller; Seniors Cindy Petratis and Jean Sillik .

There were many ups and downs for the Falcons and Saintes. Even though their season wasn't that great, they have great expectations for the years to come. "We are looking forward to next year and redeeming ourselves," added sophomore Bryan Brabec. One of the problems yet again this year was the fact that soccer was not sanctioned by the school. Putting this point behind them, the Falcons and Saintes were able to concentrate on developing a winning season . " It just upset us," added Freshman Stephanie Klement" we really wanted to become a sport recognized by the school." One of the highlights of the season was the annual Saint Albert, Lewis Central challenge cup match. The Falcons and Saintes showed pure soccer excitement by downing both the girls and boys teams and reigning as champs and keeping the trophy yet another year. Sophomore Bill Nettles said " the L.C game was the best game of the season , we had a victory over our city rivals." The season proved to be an exciting one for the future soccer teams and it proved that it will be a sport ready to compete for years to come. Dawn Rickard Bottom row I to r Tara Cruz.

Rebuilds With Youth Movement The St. Albert boys and girls tennis teams took a few on the chin this year but enjoyment was to be found. "We had a lot of fun, " said sophomore Corey Schmida. The boys team posted a 1-7 record but won some impressive matches as individuals and as doubles teams. Also, due to the small numbers out for the team, no one advanced to the state competition . "For having as small a team as we did I think we worked a little better as a unit than most of the teams we played, but they just outnumbered us," commented Schmida. "The players put forth a great deal of effort in every match," stated head coach Kathy Beckman. One highpoint of the season had to be when the Falcons blitzed the Glenwood Rams taking nearly every match. There was some disappointment, however, in not sending a doubles team to state competition. The future looks as if it could be bright for the Falcons. "It looks pretty good, we'll have some 8th graders coming up to fill some spots next year. It'll be tough but I think we can upset some teams and surprise a lot of people," added Schmida. The Saintes compiled a 3-4 team record this season. Last year the girls won only one match and one goal for this year's team was to do better. They started off fast by beating Glenwood early in the season. "The girls put forth their best effort," stated coach Beckman. This effort showed as the team improved throughout the year. Was the season what Beckman expected? "It was better. Everyone improved from last year and we won more matches. Everyone worked a lot harder and cared more." With the addition of some talented underclassmen and hard work the future could be prosperous.

Softball team swings into another season Optimistic is the key word for the Saintes softball season. The Saintes started out the season with no returning seniors and a new coach , Loren Lintner. The newcomers are "looking tough , and well disciplined," stated Lintner. However, there are several returning players to help the team. Players such as Karla Miller, Jean Sillik and Theresa Fischer will provide the team with the leadership needed to become a winning team. "We have 7 returning letterman this year, if that's not impressive, I don 't know what is ," exclaimed assistant coach Pat Kroll. Looking at the Saintes' schedule, the major challenges lie in the South West Iowa tournament, sectionals and districts, according to Lintner. "The SWI tournament is the team's replacement of the conference tournament and sectionals is "" ' • • , .4'· - the first step to state,'' stated Lintner. Kroll stated that the tough game for the season would be Nishna Valley. " Nishna Valley beat us in regular season last year. The game against them should foretell the season. " The team has set high standards for themselves, using a set of goals to guide their team play. These goals include being able to "win twenty games, and to play minimum errorball." With a strong defense, the minimum error goal should be easy to accomplish. This defense includes outstanding defense from Karla Miller, Shelly Nelson and Shari Hughes. " Nelson had 5 errors in a seson of 22 games,'' added Kroll . The only weak spot for the team is the offense. " Last year's hitting was average and if we can get our bats going, we're a potential for state,'' stated Kroll. The Saintes Softball team is looking forward to a good season, with a new type of energy from a new coach and strength from "tough and experienced" players.

As an underclassman, sometimes you concentrate so intently on your future that you forget to stop and enjoy what's happening in your life at the present time. As your elders will often say, "The high school years are the best time in your life." As a freshman, you start at the bottom not knowing what to expect from high school. During this time you gain a feeling of belonging and look towards taking your next big step. Being a sophomore involves graduating from Driver's Ed. and receiving your long-awaited driver's license. It's a time to establish strong relationships among your friends . The junior year is the year of the A.C.T. test and other college preparation . It's a year of part-time jobs and candy bar sales for prom. The juniors happily awaited the time they could call themselves seniors. Each and every class plays an important part in the S.A. family. Whether you're a freshman or a senior-to-be it is crucial to enjoy the time you have with each other. Before you know it, you'll have graduated and your high school years will be only a fond memory.

A class full of potential to reach and strive for the future. Some of us have been at St. Albert ever since we started school and others have joined in along the way. We each have contributed to the atmosphere here at S.A. We've created our own feeling of closeness and have given each other many memories to hold close . Remember the first time we walked in the doors of St. Albert high school on 6th grade visitation day? We kind of looked around and thought this school was huge. The upper classmen tried to sell us elevator passes, later to find out that there were no elevators. "I think we are a very close class and excelled in every aspect of school," stated Dan Ryan. Being a junior does have it's bad points. We're in a position of limbo. Due to the fact that we are almost seniors, we must begin to consider college. To most of us this seems light years away, but in all actuality, it is just around the corner. As juniors, we are given more resonsibilities; more homework, harder tests, and we also are of age to get a job. We have only one year left, so senioritis hasn't set in yet, but graduation is now within our grasp. We are the future. We look forward to next year to bring excellence in academics and sports, yet we also real ize that our lives are just beginning. We have a lifetime to shape the mold which entails our lives. We will hold on to today, cherish yesterday and live for tomorrow. Mike Brisso Nate Schnitker and Matt Witzke express their enthusiasm towards Chemistry.

What makes the age of sixteen unusual? Is it the fact that there really is no specific place they can fit into? Being a sophomore is tough; not in a position of power like a senior; not close enough to being a junior to know what it is that should be taken to prepare for college; and not so new to the system that you get away with many acts, like the freshman. Being a sophomore at St. Albert is tough, but the class of '90 is also very special. They seem to make the best of the situation by being involved in as many things as possible . Even though they are not the top on the list they make the most of it. Jen Brown said "I think what makes us special is the fact that we are ·different people and we all can get together.and the fact that we are all unique we respect each other more." But this is the age when it all really happens: you turn sixteen and you get your license and begin to drive; you begin to date more because your parents think that you are more responsible, and lets face it, th e most evident fact is that you are no longer a freshman. ( Which a lot people of hate being because you are on the lowest possible step of the ladder of high school, and no one really pays much attention to you.) There may be a lot of bad things about being a sophomore but wh en you take a look back on the year you will find that the good things will out weigh the bad every time. Carrie Persinger added "I think that is great that I'm not a freshman any longer, and the sophomore year doesn't last forever, and my senior year is just around the corner."

Sophomores I 121 Freshmen Take First Steps Toward The Top Being a freshmen isn't an easy task. You're right in the middle; too old to play with the junior high but not old enough to date or drive. Although becoming a freshmen provides lots of new opportunities like dances and pep assemblies, trying out for high school sports and cheerleading , it also supplies n.ew challenges and responsibilities. Even though it's a big step up in day-to-day school life, there is not much of a visible change. With moving up there are always unanswered questions. Will I get dates for the dances? Can I keep up with the work? Will the upperclassmen pick on me? Most freshmen find the answers to be a relief. Freshmen Christy Hunter says "I don't really mind being a Freshmen , but I am excited to get my drivers license." Jay Killion has a different view "I'm excited to move up because I can't wait to be a senior." Whether or not you're excited to be a high school freshmen, it happens to everyone.

Mr. Gill shows his excitement at having his picture taken. As is the case every year at S.A., many changes take place; this includes the administration and staff. Al· though many of the teachers and coaches that leave are missed, it seems the new ones always seem to bring in different concepts of teaching , excellent coaching abilities, and lasting friendships. "Due to the size of the school, there's a lot more closeness," stated Mr. Shorey. In the 1987-1988 school year, we saw six new people join the teaching staff. We saw a new counselor, a new head girl's basketball coach (who happened to be an alumni of S.A.) , a first year teacher to head up the journalism department, a different junior high coordinator, a new science department head and lastly a new math teacher and NHS coordinator. The administration at S.A. is always involved in activities with the students. The staff became involved in many ways. By dressing for the occasion during Homecoming Week, attending sport functions, helping students with personal problems and teaching both requi red subjects and religious growth, the staff has created their own sensation of caring and teaching. Whether it was Mr. Dolnicek dressing as an old woman during " Old People's Day" or Mr. Lintner being attacked by one of Santa's reindeer, the staff at St. Albert did their best to make learning enjoyable. "There's a certain feeling here at St. Albert that isn 't found in most other schools. The relationships between the students and teachers is one of friend ship and mutual respect," stated Miss Yager.

Administration Comes Closer To Student Body This year at St. Alberts, with the addition of new members in the administration, a new height of cooperation was created between students and administration. Although at times the line between student rowdiness and administrative principle was crossed and minor scrimages occured, the administration always seemed to treat each case with consistency to keep the system fair. The administration at S .A.always seems to be among the busiest. Along with the everyday activ ities of running a school the adminstration was alw ays present at extra curricular activities showing support for sports, academic events, and drama. The increase in cooperation also came from the good communicat ion between the student council and a d - ministrators. More now than ever it seems that students are tr y ing to w in rights for themsel ves through the a d - m i n istra tive process i n s t ead of open critis ism of the a d m i n i strat i on or op en acts of rebellio n. Two new members, Mr. Bragg and Mr. Zahm, joined the S. A. administration. Bragg, the new counselor to students at S.A. has definitly proven his worthiness t h rough h is ha rd work in helping st u d ents with troubles ome sche d u les and much he lp to s eniors int e res ted in colleges and scholar - ships. It's true t hat in cid ents be tween the studen ts and adm i nistrati on sti ll o c cur and some of t he polic ies tak en by the administration do see m a bit f ar fe t ched at times, b ut the over all u n derstanding between two groups has created a new sensation of cooperation in the school.

Scichilone Rick Wahl Faculty Caring Faculty Key To Uniqueness There are few people who would take up the responsibility of making sure hundreds of students ate well at lunch, and recieved help while in the office, or had a clean school to come to in the morning. These people are the staff of St Alberts . These people go by often well unnoticed, and without a simple thanks for helping. They are people who work in the cafeteria , the main office, do custodial duties, and work in the business office. They 166 I staff spend their days helping teens with the little obstacles of everyday life.

Staff Keeps Spark Going Through rain, snow, heat, and fog , St Albert High school has a staff that dedicates its time and patience to making St Albert a better place. Many of the teachers spend extra time before and after school just to help students . What does it mean to be a teacher at a Catholic High School? We took this question to the people who are most apt to be able to answer it, the teachers themselves. Math teacher, Mrs. Wiegman stated, "I like teaching at a school where students can have prayer in class, and school masses . I like being able to express my beliefs and talk to students about moral values ." Junior Tammy Lesline stated that, " Basically the teachers are a big help here with things like homework, but also with being in such a small school it gives you that special edge of getting to have a close relationship with them. It is a good feeling to know that you can come anytime before school or after for help and recieve it with a smile and much understanding." Being a teacher and being responsible for the educational growth and developement of a person is extremely important, and with out the special time and care that these people put in, whether it is before school, after school, or just rooting the team on to a victory, helps to make the difference between a fair education and a excellent education.
