Heraclitus ~ 0 co Ct') ~ C\J 0 0 0 co LO C\J C\J Ct') This quotation speaks truth . Change is a continu ing process . In fact, its unceasing pattern grows and weaves our own live s. We have been altering and transfo r ming since t he moment we took our fi rst breath . Obviously, we have changed throughout our school days. We have changed in appearances, in attitudes, and in character. In t his yearbook, we try to capture the moments of change : t he beginn ing of a new educational fac ility , the appearance of unfamiliar faces, the collaboratl on of superior rating , the laughs, the frowns, the tears, and the smiles that have occurred during the short fragment of our lives known as high school. Our years at " T- C Tech " have proven to be a collage of changes . We 've joked a little, cried a little , grown a little, and learned a little . We the class of '78, have changed significantly, but we have held together. High school days must end , but change doe s not . Each of us will go his own way in life, expe ri encing unknown changes and challenges every step of the way. The outside world offers strangers and newn ess, but we will realize that change Is an ongoing process. Ou r abilit y to adju st to the alterations that lie ahead will help to make us the best we can be . m Jan L. Elias �Singers yawning together through morning rehearsals, teammates clutching together during the tense moments, students roaring at pep rallies, friends laughing together down the halls .. . each portrays TriCenter. We are groups and bodies of people th at grow through associations with others. During high school, these groups have changed and molded our characters. Through both the good and not-so-good times, the assemb lages have provided us with a laugh , a cry, and a cause. 4 �5 �Chang es. The y oc cur in all places, at all times. All thin gs must begi n, grow, live, and end . The Tri-Ce nter School District is curren t ly chan gin g, and we wish to elaborate on t hese al te r ations in our community, for they involve our parents, us, and future generations. On October 12, 1976, our school district passed a $1,490,000 bond issue for a new elementary school buil ding . Th e completed structure will be located near t he hig h school. The building will provide for grades Kindergarten through Sixth and will contain th e following : Two kindergarten areas Eighteen academic classrooms for grades 1 through 6 Library and media center Multi-purpose room for activities, lunch, etc. Music room , convertible to stage use with the multi-purpose room. This bond issue also includes funds for a wrestling room and for the replacement of the "leaky" high school roof. These two projects have been completed, while work on the elementary building progresses rapidly . The daily t rips of workers to the pop machine and the ir pounding noises on th e roof have become familiar to us. On these pages we try to mention t he change s happening in ou r school commun ity. Not only do we attempt t o explain the details of the NEW school building , but we wish to honor the OLD schoo ls also. They con tai n man y fond memorie s withi n th eir walls ... moments that we shall never forget. They have been th e cornerst ones of our fo rm al educations. In t hose institutions of learn in g, we have participated in many f un times: noon rec ess es, school t rips, musi c programs, and, of course, NAP TIME S! We have shared many pre cious moments with friends inside of those wall s: he lping th e cooks serve 6 �lunch, playing a game of freeze-tag or bombardo, spending a night with a friend , and having our share of bad fights, " make-up" notes, and then , forgiving . The elementary school buildings are each near 60 years old and have served their purposes well. They've provided us, our parents, and even some of our grandparents with many memories. But progress results in change . All old things must bow and make way for the new. As ou r new school emerges, we should pause to reflect upon the many growing moments that these former structures provided us with . We are saddened by the loss of these institutions, yet thrilled by the sight of a new educational facility . We must remember that the schools will NEVER really be gone; the moments they have instilled in our memories will always be cherished . We are thankful for these memories . Hopefully, the new school will give many more children the same ·treasurable memories. TRI CENTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ;: -? f- = .}- 7 <~ :~ �8 �We have been granted a unique learning experience at Tri-Center. This special education has not taken place in classrooms or with textbooks; we have acquired it through that small number who dare to be individuals. They have provided us with the true meanings of courage, initiative, and responsibility. By "doing their own things," they change our own individualities. We must admire and thank them for the contributions they've made to our high school education . After all, not every school has their own Darth Vadar or Elvis Presley! ---9 �..I I • 10 �H omecoming 1977 Homecoming candidates for 1977 were : Peggy Wellman , Rhonda Wohlers, Caroline Nelson , Deb Ring, Paulette Dollen , Carol Ryan, Mary Jensen, Janelle Masker, Suzanne West, Leslie Busch , Duane Barrier, Scott Suntken, Brad Soppe, Keith Gravert, Terry Ring, Mike Kenealy, Pat Kenealy, Tim Koch, Dan Pogge and Marvin Pearcy.

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

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

The 10 minute show was entitl ed " A Star Fantasy" and used characters and music from the popular movie STAR WARS. The production was enthusiastically re ceived by the capacity crowd in Des Moines. Rehearsals for the show started in Decem ber, and af t er four month's work the trip to De s Moine s was a welcome break for the squad. Other activitie s for the group during the year were half t ime performan ces at basketball and fo otbal l games and an app earance in the pop co nce rt. ROB ER T HI LLI GAS, direc t or of th e Golden Girls. 70 �71 �POP CONCERT '78 ��FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON Theatre-in-the-round had its beginning with the ancient Greeks who performed outside in huge amphitheatres. The play production class decided to use this old mode of acting for their production, FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON . The students played -on the gym ftoor to two enthusiastic audiences, who seemed to grasp the closer connection of actor with audience in such a setting . For the students this type of production added a new way to produce a play, and it provided a change from using the conventional stage . 74 �STUDENTS ATTENDING STATE SPEECH CONTEST were : (from the left) Jennifer Wat son , Gayla Wilson , Tamra Kasch , M ars ha Shreeves, M artha Smith , Peg Wel lman , Deb Ring , Jan Elias, Sue Barrier, Caro l Ryan , Beth Handbu ry , Janelle Masker, Gene Perr in , Lon a Welbourn , Julie Elliott, James Kenealy, Karen Mauer, Tom M ahoney, Dan Langin , and not pictured, Mrs. Judi Kenny, speec h in structor. 75 �•I' ,• .. 1 •• 76 .. .-· ~·~ ··~ !-~' �on, of the NY Yankees, s rttJM•tc:f'. uring the 1977 World Ser 77 �GIRLS' SOFTBALL· 78 �COACH NILE K SMITH 79 �FOOTBALL SQUAD: (left to right) Row 1: Keith Gravert, Ken Kline, Tim Koch, Brad Knott, J eff Shreeves, Scott Suntken , Duane Barrier, Brad Soppe, Rob Gilbraith and Dave Osbahr, student managers; Row 2: Coach Johnson , Mike Larsen, Willy Corrin, Butch Fey, Jeff Graves, Ken Hester, Jim Kenealy, Dave Wellman, Joe Masker, and Coach Carver; Ro w 3: Coach Shackl eford , Henry Ring, Mike Cooney, Doug Olsen , Todd Brockman, Tom Mahoney, Jay Mason , Todd Justice, Jeff Casson, and Coach Cochran; Row 4: Greg Barrier, Les Clark, Randy Orme, Terry Erwin, Fred Hadfield , Dan McDonald , Dave Wellman and Jim Masker; Row 5: Marty Rogers, Clark Price, Scott Rogers , Kriss Soppe, Randy Wachner, Steve Stone, Dan Langin, Todd Schroeder; Row 6: Jeff Slobodnik, Bruce Archer, Nick Justice, Scott Darrah, Scott Gardner, Phil Ni elsen , Scott Dollen and Brian Floerchinger. f 80 The Tri-Cente r Varsity Football team compiled an overall season record of 6-3. The season started slow, but gained momentum winning the last six games of the season. The Trojans finished the season in a tie for third place in the conference. Duane Barrier, Ken Kline and Brad Knott were named to the all conference team, while Brad Soppe,· Tim Koch and Jeff Shreeves were named to honorable mention. The iJ.977 season was like two different seasons. The first three games were lost and then the season as turned around and the last six games were won. Th is was a great effort. The team had to overcome losses to t hree top rated teams and the ineligibility of six pJayers. The team could have easily given up, but didn't. This is a tribute to the caliber of players at Tri-Center.

Back row : Cindi Felton, Mary Jensen, Caroline Nelson, Janelle Masker, Jennifer Ring , Jane Alfers, Susie Kenealy, Julie Elliott, Paulette Dollen, and Coach Pat Dalton. When I asked this year's team to continue the winning tradition started by last year's team, I didn't realize how exact the girls would be. Last year the team won 17 games and again this year the girls won 17 games. Last year T-C finished 2nd in the conference -tournament and this year we finished 3rd. Last year T-C was sth in regular season conference standings and this year we were 2nd. Both year's T-C teams advanced into district play in the tournarnen s. t-ast year we were 3rd in the sectionals and this year we were 2nd . Three school records fell in 1977-78. Camline Nelson had 17 interceptions in one game and had a record 256 interceptions in a season. The guard court had an excellent 42 point defensive average for the season which bettered the old average of 43 points set in 1971-72. The overall season was fun. We will be graduating seven good senior and will be rep lacing them, for the most part, from a J.V. squad that was 16-1 for the year. We will miss these senior girls, but will do our b~ 1' to continue a winning tradition at T-C. 83 ��Student Managers All Conference Jane Alfers Patti Sidebottom Cindi Felton Caroline Nelson GIR LS JUNIOR VARSITY AND FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM : (left to right) Peggy Gilbraith , Lori Siebels , Den ise Royer, Laurie Hadfi eld, Kris Brow n, Andy Gilbraith and Nancy Kriz .

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

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

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

The senior boys certainly had their charm as "The Dating Game" proved . Eating apples was never this much fun before as four couples from each class showed us how. The freshmen came out on top of the basketball contest, and the cheerleaders led us through the week in perfect style and form. 10 �f The hilarious endings of two Colossus skits proved to be too much. The teachers received their just desserts, and Jeff Pape got his prize for winning "The Dating Game."

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

This enthusiasm is evident by the large numbers of students who sign up to participate in the various school activities and events. As the year progresses it becomes more and more difficult to maintain that enthusiasm, and the numbers of people in the various activities and organizations dwindle. Those who remain deserve the credit for the accomplishments that the school and student body can look back on with pride in the years to come. It is those people who the yearbook staff would like to thank. The following deserve a special thanks: Annette Stephens, Diane Mahoney, Maxine Cook, Jill Elias, and Roger Larsen. Without their effort, dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm this book would not have been finished.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He provided good leadership and scored consistantly in the 200 dash. As a team , we started out very slowly with a lot of underclassmen, but as the season progressed and they became adjusted to their events they began to improve accordingly . The last two weeks of the season, times started to drop significantly and distances improved; but , unfortunately not enough to qualify anyone for State."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But taking speech helps build a person's confidence, and also improves social skills . Several of our speech students received a division 1 rating and advanced to state. These students were Teresa Olofson and Jackie Hayden. Johnsen, Terry Wellman, David Lett, Cecilia Leaders, Susan Scoles, Caryn Sparr, Jackie Hayden, and Teresa Olofson . Speech adviser Mary Conway feels speech is an activity often "crowded out" by the extensive participation our school has in winter extracurricular activities . "Students have only so much time, yet what is more important than being able to speak effectively and intelligently?'' Contest Speech is open to high school students in all grades. Categories include: original oratory, humorous acting, dramatic acting, book review, after- dinner speech, poetry interpretation, literary program, extemporaneous speaking, improvisational acting, radio news broadcasting, storytelling, and e xpository address . Principal Gary Ratigan commented, " I think speech contest is a tremendous · opportunity for students to gain experience in public speaking .

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

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

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

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

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

Rogers �Looking at The Big Picture THE BIG PICTURE Each year Tri-Center changes and improves. This year was no exception. We not only grew and changed, but we gave our fans, communities, and competitors THE BIG PICTURE of how great we could become. Several major changes have come about this year, starting with acquiring our new principal, Mr. Brett Nanninga (pronounced "nanning"). Mr. Nanninga had many new ideas for the school, all of which were improvements. Mr. John Brooke noted that Mr. Nanninga was "out in the hallway more than the kids!" Another change was creation of a new drill team, ending a twelve year tradition of Golden Girls. The addition of eighth grade exploratory classes in the high school caused junior Tammy Bertelsen to claim that the eighth graders were "all right, as long as they didn't roam the halls!" EXECUTE!

Op'"iog " 3 �Big fun Student life The students at TriCenter were very dedicated. They put all of their effort into many different activities ranging from speech to sports. Senior Karen Jennings felt that "sports help people get prepared for the real world because of the competition." Another positive thing about the students was their attitudes. When a task was difficult, junior Teresa YUCK! Digging for gold? No, fres h man Shell y Shank, junior Kevin Ki ll pack, and senior Terry Wellman search hopelessly for Shell y's retainer. 4 Student Life Farley wouldn't give up. "I like things with a challenge! After I have finished a difficult project, I feel really great about myself." The students' lives centered aimost exclusively around school and its many activities offered to students. Junior Heather Wingert sighed, "I truly believe that I am at school more than I am at home!" WAKE UP!

Student Lifo " 5 �''Hold on to the Night'' Fun follies With dimmed lights and an atmosphere filled with anxious thoughts, the 1988 Homecoming Court was ready to "Hold on to the Night." As Mr. Bob Johnson and Mrs. Sarah Hansen announced Queen Maria Olson and King Jerry Green, the atmosphere was mixed with tears of joy along with disappointments. Happiness was also shared by Princess Jodi Sanders and Prince Joe Vetro. The entire student body enjoyed a dance, featuring American Music. When describing the purpose of Homecoming, Mr. Johnson explained, "It is to elect a King and Queen of the class and to recognize past royalty." Maria Olson said, "When they announced my name as Queen my first thought was no thought at all. I was just shocked." After a fun-filled week of showing school spirit, the whole student body now can tuck away the memories and can "Hold On To the Night" in their own special way. SLAVE DAY Senior Kevin Schmidt gives a big smile while portraying an M&M fo r slave day. GLAMOUROUS " I'm so embarrassed!

Stud•nt Lifo '11 7 �It's not all fun and games No gain Unfortunately sports weren't always fun and games. Minor aches and pains discouraged some athletes while a few serious injuries totally benched others. Feelings were hard to handle. Anger and depression were two feelings our injured players had. Senior running back Jerry Green who sat out most of the season after surgery for a knee injury • In • pain said, "At first I was really angry, but I've decided to fight back next year in college, with all my strength." Often some physical therapy was required, ranging from doing exercises to taking shock treatment. Therapy was not always easy, pushing themselves, and developing a "no pain no gain" attitude. Jerry's therapy was bike riding, straight leg raises, and NERVY PROBLEM A stret ch ed n erve in practi ce put a cast on junior b asketba ll pl ayer Lisa Huebn er , whi ch ca m e off in Dece mbe r. AN OUNCE OF P R E VENTI ON To ns of tap e and T.L.C. from basketball coach Ga ry Whi te was the st rategy to keep Karen Je nnings healthy. 8 ~ ~ Sports Injuries special shock treatment. After over two months of hobbling around on crutches, Jerry was as good as new. Senior tackle Scott Huebner's injured shoulder required him to lift weights, do special exercises and sit out two games. Coach Mary Conway felt lucky that the only volleyball injury was senior Karen Jennings. During a game she spiked the ball, came down on her ankle, but only had a minor sprain. Some were just plain tough. Lisa Casson, junior, had her thumb severely pulled when a Griswold Tiger came storming by in softball. Despite her pain she came back and hit a homerun! Participating in sports was fun , but for a few, it also resulted in injury. �TENDONITIS A sore arm needed a wrap for a while for volleyball player Tonya Matthews, junior. HUGS CAN HELP A sisterly hug for Jerry Green from little sister Brenda, ·sophomore, helped make it all better, so what if the whole student body was watching! EXPERT CARE Eric Elverio, chief physical therapist at Jennie Edmondson Hospital treated junior Nick Gambs' stomped hand during the AvoHa game. Elverio was part of the scene on the sidelines during nearly every game. �What's hot, what's not TRENDY Leather boots, long . skir t, scarf artfull y draped , senior Candy Barrier h as her fa ll wa rdrobe ready. Fashion '89 What was puff or plush, pastels or plaids? FASHION! Everywhere you turned there was a new fad coming our way. Many said earrings were for girls but if you asked some of the more daring guys, they disagreed. "Earrings are in!" said freshman Mike Burton, "along with Levis and t-shirts." "Some people just get up in the morning and don 't care if their socks match or if their shirts are wrinkled. While others wouldn't be seen without their B.D. Baggies shirts and Guess jeans," said junior Teresa Olofson. Many parents weren't aware of the demand to wear famous labels and they thought paying $20 for a shirt and $35 for jeans was outrageous. If you had asked today's teens, they would have told you that being in style was worth every penny. "A lot of people don't have a lot of money to buy a hundred different outfits, so you just have to learn to mix and match," commented junior Barb Watson. But what you wear makes a statement about who you are! · FASHIONABLE FOLKS Senior John Hi tc hcock, junior Karen Erich, sophomore Lia Carper and freshman T ony Larsen show off t heir fas hions. SUPER SHADES Even t he facu lty gets in to the act! Mr. Gaylord Schelling adds sunglasses to his ensemble. �ROCK STAR Knee high boots and tie dyeo shirt complete Mr. John Burke's version of a punk rocker, not his usual attire. FLOWER POWER "More power to the flower!" says this hip chic, also known as Mrs. Mary King recalling the sixties. CONSERVATIVE Principal Brett Nanninga selects a white shirt and tie. T HUMBS UP T eresa Olofso n, junior, gives the thumbs up sign to fash ion, as junior T ami Siebels stands by. COOL DUDE Guys wear earri ngs, too! Check out fashiona ble Mike Burton. Stud•nt Lifo " 11 �A big taste of business HARD AT WORK Seniors Juanita Schul tz a nd Laura Van Nordstrand look busy at t heir computer terminals. Model office The new Model Office allowed many of our students to get a "head start" on the business world. Model Office class is a branch of typing and computers, with the sole purpose of teaching students what it is like in the real world. Offered two periods each day, model office this year consists of only female students. In the near future the instructor, Mrs. Glenda Kunze, hopes that males enroll. Mrs. Kunze feels that Model Office "gives the girls the opportunity to see what it's like in an actual office setting." Senior Jennifer Handbury enjoys Model Office. "It's a great opportunity to get to use the new computers and other equipment. The atmosphere is great, too!" New IBM computers, desks, and remodeling of the typing room was the result of a grant which the late Superintendent Melvin Rogers applied for to the State of Iowa. When asked what she most liked about the new Model Office, Mrs. Kunze replied, "Working with the girls, of course!" IT WORKED! Mrs. Kunze helps senior Darcy Warner with a problem during Model Office. 12 1" DILIGENCE T hat's Juanita's goal! Mod•I Offi" �Exploratory: Discovering new ideas The eighth graders got some first hand experiences looking at high school this year. This new program was called the eighth grade exploratory classes. Exploratory was brought about by a combination of teachers, the counselor, and administration. Sarah Hansen felt that "familiarized eighth graders with high school and gave them a smoother way to get used to this level." Many things were taught to the eighth graders during first period. Bill Larsen liked Exploratory because he could show and encourage the students to take shop. During Home Ee Mrs. Hansen taught cooking, sewing skills, and a bit of parenting. Home Ee was Dan Vetro's favorite class "because of the food!" Typing and some computer skills were taught by Glenda Kunze so that maybe some students would consider a business career. The last subject offered in this program was art taught by Randy Weise. He hoped to recruit more students for his high school art classes.

In a big department More than just your run-of-the-mill problemsolving palace, Mr. Ron Elliott's counseling office has changed significantly. Many changes have come about ranging from remodeling to a new computer. · First, the new computer the school has purchased is primarily for student use. The program used for the computer is a careerbased program called the GIS or Guidance Information System. There are up to 1000 colleges and universities, and 12,000 different occupations available for student reference. Another major change took place over the summer when Mr. Elliott's office was expanded. There are now two separate rooms, an inner office and an outer office. The inner office is to be used for private conversations, and the outer office is to be used for computer and career choices. Mr. Elliott " hopes that students will eventually feel comfortable with the outer office and come in during study palls to check out careers." HELLO?

Is that all there is to a library? Not the library at T-C! Ranging from research to a sanctuary for study hall potatoes, the library was used and appreciated by a very large percentage of our student body. Junior Ray Wellman liked to do his homework in the library because you " didn't have to go as far to get information for reports. " When asked why she used the library, senior Cathy Dargin admitted, " I'd . probably get more done in study hall , but the libr..iry has a more comfortable atmosphere. Besides, I can talk to my • friends in t h ere!" Socializing was a major reason to migrate t o t he library. T ri-Center Media Specialist Steve Stafford warned, "It's okay if you talk as long I don't h ear you or see your lips move!"

As director of the 1989 Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band, T-C's Geoff Schive, recalled, "I couldn't ask for a greater group of people to help me make my fondest dreams come t rue, and I mean it!" Among the 216 band members from across southwest Iowa were fourteen T-C students. "The feeling you get from working in a group this large is great, but when you know that what you have worked for has been achieved, the sense of pride is too immense to even begin to explain, " said junior flag twirler Heather Wingert. Practices were scheduled three days in August and the band then marched in the Iowa State Fair Parade. The parade was known to the band members and directors as the "March of Fire" referring to the temperature of that day. Many members had a difficult time staying on their feet because of the heat. All the hard work and dedication did pay off, though. Reflected junior Natalie Hitchcock, " It was a lot of work, but Dallas was worth it!" Pract icing was not he only activity t he band took part in while in Dallas.

Senior Maria Olson stated that the best thing about T-C was that, "The people let you be y~urself, no matter how different you are!"

Rogers leaves A legacy of caring Rogers' years saw growth, change In his 27 years of service to T-C, Supt. Melvin Rogers saw many changes including the addition of Minden in 1969 as well as completion of the new elementary building in 1978, which brought together all four elementary centers from Neola, Minden, Persia and Beebeetown. Through his professional associations, including serving for many years on the board of the Iowa High School Girls Athletic Union, he earned the respect of area educators. In 1962, Mr. Rogers became principal, serving as the first principal in the new high school building, built to accomodate the newly organized Tri-Center Community School District. Three years later he became superintendent and remained in that job until his death from cancer on February 3, 1989. He was 52. Students and staff will remember his wit, good humor and tireless devotion to our school. The Rogers family has established a scholarship in his name which goes to a senior who plans to attend Dana College in Blair, Nebraska. Jerry Green was awarded the first scholarship. INT ERIM SUPT .

TRASH T HE TRUCK The seniors got even with Mr. Ernest Abariotes as t hey dumped magazines, etc. on his t ruck. Full of surprises, ornery, ready, they're "outta here!" are just a few ways the class of 1989 could be described. After thirteen years of waiting for graduation day, many thought it would never come. But when it did on May 14, some didn't know if they were ready to leave. Karen Jennings said, "When you are going to school you know what to expect and you weren't scared to walk though the doors because you had been doing it for thirteen years. Now you don't want to walk out the door into the real world." School is a place where you know you will see your friends and you can get away with almost anything, but if you do get caught, punishment is minimal compared to the world outside. The class of 1989 will always be remembered as ornery and full of surprises, but this class is in a field of its own.

In order to learn, the students at T-C must have great teachers, and that's what we've got. The faculty worked hard each day to make our classrooms the best they can possibly be. "Teaching is not ordinary. Every time I teach psychology, even if it's the same course two times a year, it's never the same because there are different people," said John Brooke. Mr. Ron Elliott said that he did not begin at T-C until the fall of 1968. "Counseling was just then rising in popularity, and I was interested in it. TriCenter had an opening, so I took a shot at it and I've been here ever since." Some people may feel that teachers are there for the sole purpose of tea~hing, but the faculty made a point of doing more. They were friends to their students. Being able to communicate on a friendly basis made the classroom a more comfortable atmosphere. When asked what he most liked about teaching, Mr. Ernest Abariotes said, "I like the alumni. ·People who go on to college give us the neatest feedback!" ·~ HMMMM . .. NOW WHAT?

Students saw their work published in Harvest, a collection of faculty, staff and student writing from all grade levels. · Keeping a journal and getting response from peers or teachers was an important part of the project.

Coming in second in the West Harrison tournament in Glenwood was the high point of the season. Although the Trojans suffered in the beginning, they improved with the season. But "one of the main problems was not hitting the ball," said Coach S ~helling. In spite of the season record, some outstanding individuals were recognized for their efforts.

Injuries had a great effect on the season, with senior starters Joe Vetro, Scott Huebner sitting out games and running back Jerry Green having t o sit out most of the season after knee surgery. Despite injuries Coach Gaylord Schelling felt that the team still worked hard, and they displayed the results of that work in the last two games of the season against Treynor and AvoHa. "We didn't meet our goal, and that was disappointing, but we gave a good effort," he said. "Unity was a double edged sword for us. When we pulled together, we did well. When we didn't pull together , we suffered," said J oe. Even t hough it was a tough season, Scott felt that " being a t ri-captain and working with the coaches and all the underclassmen was a memorable experience.

Along with dedication wrestlers had to keep weight down and the weight classes filled. Because of doubling of weight classes, two seniors being the victims, Terry Wellman and Kevin Brich at 171 had to battle it out for the varsity spot, said Coach John Brooke. Arie Thomsen led the way with 456 team points for the team. In the tournament spot Arie did a fine job, placing first at W.I.C. tournament, first at sectional, making it possible to qualify for districts. Arie fell one match short at districts placing him at third, stopping his hopes for state.

At the beginning of the season people were asking who is Tri-Center? Then t hey got a big surprise from T -C boys and girls teams. The surprise was t hat two people placed at state, Rob Larson placing tenth along with H elena Reiber who placed twelfth. Going t o a state meet wasn't always a great experience.

These five individuals helped make Karen Jennings an All-Amerf:can. The season started out shaky with two successive losses. Then they ran up against two big teams which influenced Coach T. Gary White to make the switch and put Candy and Lisa into a guard court. "With Lisa and Candy in the guard court, I felt less pressured and more at ease," said Karen Jennings. Tonya Matthews said, "I learned that it is more important to play as a team and not as an individual."

The only senior, Travis Justice worked hard and could be counted on to come in and do the good job when most needed. Individual honors were given to three players: Ray Wellman, Jim Dermody and Rob Larsen at the conclusion of t he season. Ray received first team All-WIC, Honorable Mention All-State and, All-SWI Nonpareil and World Herald. J im and Rob both received second team All-WIC Honorable mention All-State and All-SWI By the Nonpareil and World Herald. This year they dedicated their season to the memory of Mr. Melvin Rogers. Coach Carl Cochran said, " The guys did a great job this year and I'm proud of t heir accomplishments. Record 16-6 T-C 66 69 61 61 47 76 97 92 55 59 52 52 72 74 75 46 49 Avo-Ha Treynor Lo-Ma Mo.

This year's track team did an outstanding job sending two girls to state while the guys sent three individuals and one relay team. This year is the first time we have had an individual state champ, Tom Schneckloth in <lieus.

" Other individual awards were given to Helena Rieber, Ka ren Jennings and Natalie Hitchcock who made t he All-Area First team. Rob Larsen also placed 7th in the one mile.

Other pains are when you can't get the crowd involved, said sophomore Leasa Stark, "and they sit there like a bump on a log!" Along with pains there are gains that go along with cheering. Heather Wingert said, "You get a good feeling being a cheerleader and it is a very rewarding experience. You learn to get the student body involved and t o show school spirit. Sponsors Tami Harman and Arla Jo Clausen said working with the ladies to create school spirit is the best part about being a sponsor. LETS GO!

Good-bye Golden Girls Hello Drill Team T his year we said "bye-bye" to Golden Girls and "hello" to the Drill Team. L ike Golden Girls, Drill Team performed du ring half-time of the boys' basketball g mes. Unlike Golden Girls, Drill Team entered competitions for awards. Dri ll team started off slow but ended up with a second place win at Mid-western Spirit Performance contest. This year's squad nominated captain Maria Olson and co-cap tain Wendy Wedel to head the squad. Like all new things people were pesai mistic about drill team, thinking it -, ouldn't work because Golden Girls was a twelve year tradition, said senior Maria Olson. Junior Michelle Arbaugh said, "for the first year it went about the way it should - a slow building process. " Miss Linda England, coach, said she always wanted to be a sponsor of a drill team, since she was in cheerleading four years in high school and took twelve years of dancing.

Then the ads must be drawn out and designed. This years ad editor was junior Ashlee Martens. She did the organization of the ads, layed them out and also did some over-the-phone selling. The Trojan yearbook staff would like to take LEHAN'S Minden pharmacy owned by Joe and Connie Lehan this time to thank our advertisers for their contributions this year. Without our advertisers, our dream of having a great yearbook would not be possible. When asked why Sehierbrock's advertises in our book, Mary Pat Schierbrock said, "All of my kids went to school at Tri-Center. It's a great school and I feel it is our responsibility to support it."

Rogers along with students, staff and the Tri-Center community, were overwhelmed at the loss of T-C's superintendent. Besides being a prominent member of the community, Mr. Rogers was an administrator at T-C for many years. Mr. Rogers took pride in everything he did, but most of all in his school. "He was the reason T-C was so special. He trusted the teachers and let them take charge. His goal was to make Tri- Center better than OK. Melvin was a leader in every sense of the word," faculty member Susan Johnson said in tribute. Wit and a terrific sense of humor were a Rogers trait. Mr. Ernest Abariotes reflects on a particular story Mr. Rogers told on himself when he was at the beach in Florida. " It was great! The tide rolled in and flipped him over. When he emerged from the water, he had no bathing suit on. At prom the following year, we made sure to recognize him for his stunning rendition of "Moon Over Miami!" Tri-Center was Mr. Rogers' life, and there was almost never a day he wasn't here even on the week-ends. "Mr. Rogers wanted to make our students and faculty the best. He gracefully maneuvered people into doing great things so they would get compliments. He himself wanted to stay out of the limelight." said Ron Elliott. Each and every person that had the honor of knowing Melvin Rogers knew of a greatness and a dream becoming reality. His inspirational words and actions will silently fill the hallways of Tri-Center and the hearts of his friends forever. ROGERS HUMOR A keen wit and fine sense of h umor was a Rogers trademark. BLOOM ING DELIGHT Flowerpots compliments of Mr. Rogers who made t hem in his spare time. 126 Melvin Rogers �LIONS CLUB Gary Ratigan, Melvin Rogers, Nick Benzing, Dean Sparr, Jerry Christensen, Charlie Vogt, Randy Krohn, and Gayle Brown FRIENDS FOREVER Mr. Rogers and Ron Elliott celebrate Gary Ratigan's Principal of the Year award, May, 1988.

Ryan Petersen led with a 512 series; and Gary Redinbaugh with a 510; Chris Corrin a 507 series; Chad Driver a 502; and Chad Ferris a 490.

The boys had their first ever Western Iowa Confer- ence Championship at Missouri Valley. But then the team, led by five seniors, Rob Larsen, Chad Ferris, Eric Schnitker, Chad Brich, and Jesse Divelbess ran their last race of the year at Coon Rapids when they fell nine points short from Woodbine for qualifying for the state meet in Ames. Senior Rob Larsen caught t he sixth and final spot for a trip to Ames where he placed tenth. Sophomore Helena Rieber who placed second in district came in third at state.

Heath Rodenburg (30) with the help of his teammates runs it in untouched for a touchdown . 34 Football �Back on the winning side After a rough season last year, the football program got back on the winning side, finishing with a 5-4 record . Coach Schelling had the players lifting weights all through the off-season, and talked most of them into going out for track . Even though all the hard work paid off, they didn't reach their goal of making it to the playoffs. To top it off, Scott Johnsen missed the last four games due to a broken collar bone. The Trojan offense added a new run and shoot type offense to assist the young quarterback, Brian Nelson. But the experienced de- tense was stinging, just like the defenses in the past. Coach Schelling said, "It was a decent rebound from last year, not quite as good as I would have liked. But it was positive. We won games we should have." All Southwest Iowa and all-Western Iowa Conference first team honors went to Randy Ring and Dan Elliott. WIC honors: Ray Wellman, first team; Doug Ring, Nick Gambs, Heath Rodenburg, and Bill Jennings, second team; Bert Van Nordstrand, Andy Gunderson, Justin Holstein, and Brian Manhart, honorable mention .

Guard Lisa Huebner said, "I felt before the season had started we would be back at state. It was very disappointing." For the first season in five the Trojanettes were not part of the Iowa Girls State Basketball Tournament. With just three seniors this was a rebuilding season, ending at 11-10 with a third place conference finish. High points of the season were the triple overtime win over AvoHa/Shelby Tennant, the defeat of state- · ranked Lewis Central and the big win over Underwood in the first round of Sectionals. The forward court was tough with the strong shoot ing of Katie Leaders inside, the consistency of Angie Corrin outside, Sarah Brich's driving, and the great passes by Heather Stafford . Huebner's and Tonya Matthew's height along with Natalie Hitchcock's and Brenda Green's quickness made for a scrappy guard court. " With the experience in the forward court, and my experience as guard, we could be back on top again," said Green.

Unfortunately for the Trojanet tes, they were unable to qualify anyone for the state meet, but nevertheless had many strong points. They set a school record in the 3200 relay and earned a third place finish at the Lady Dane Relays. Hard working and enjoyable were how the track coaches described their teams .

Seniors and juniors visit with a representative from Colorado University to see if It's the place for them. With so many options, how do I ever decide? Today's job market isn't like it used to be. Thirty years ago, many people graduated from high school and then found a job. However, today more and more people are getting some type of job training before entering the work force . Although college is the most popular, many other students are going to technical, secretarial, or beauty schools. Joining one of the Armed Forces 66 such as the Air Force is also another option . Senior Lisa Huebner has chosen one of these options; she plans to attend airline school. ''Although college is not what I want to do, I still need a skill so I can get a good job," stated Lisa. Like Lisa, everyone needs to receive some kind of post high school education . It's a definite necessity in today's world . �BOOKING IT. Mr. McKercher gives some e xtra-special help to Pre-Calculus students before a test . Taking a new step What was new this year, required buying your own books, was taught in the morning, and proved to be a real challenge to many college-bound seniors? There's no doubt that the answer is the Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus and Biology college classes . For the first time, college classes complete with college credit were offered. These classes (Trigonometry/ Pre-Calculus and Biology) taught by Lee Killpack and Harold McKercher, proved to be a "real learning" experience. Mike Nieman said "Through taking both classes, I've really gained an understanding of college." If both these classes were taken, fourteen hours of credit were earned. This equals almost a semester's worth of credit. "I liked being in the Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus course because it put me ahead of many other high school seniors," stated Michelle Arbaugh . As a final comment, how did the teachers think of the new classes? Did they like them? "Hopefully in the future we will be able to add more college classes to our curricu1um said Mr . McKercher.

The ''New'' PE Usually, when people think of P.E., they think of the same old boring games: scooter hockey, physical fitness, soccer, and kickball . This year many new changes have been made . Some of these changes were swimming at the Neola pool, dancing the t w o -step, running the 68 ~ PE/Health mile, the stretch and reach, and fishing at Arrowhead in May. Why have these changes been made? The new teachers, Mrs. Taml Harman and Mr. Tim Conway, wanted to incorporate more life skills into the P.E. curriculum . These skills may be handy some day! �We expected bones and muscles . But it's fun! Students were surprised that Health was not just the study of bones and muscles. "We learned that being healthy includes being mentally healthy, also," said Shiloh McCool. Health class was increased to five days a week, and was required . The goal was to familiarize students with physical and mental aspects of life. Kristie Witt said, "It was a break from other classes, and it gave you time to learn about yourself. " There were many things to learn, from the study of the human body to making a budget and getting married. Michelle Warner expected health to be about bones and muscles, but found out it was fun!

It made the work get done much faster, and made it much easier to accomplish .

"The Wonder Years": On the way to high school Like the show "The Wonder Years" , T-C's junior high students worked toward being high schoolers . They struggled w ith school, extracurricular activit ies, parents, getting a driving permit and the opposite sex . Junior high students enjoyed doing these 7hings and exploring new ideas. They liked being in chorus, swing choir, and band, performing in several contests and concerts. Be- -- ing involved in afterschool sports was new, too . Eighth-grader Jeff Sparr commented, "I really enjoyed being in football, wrestling and track the past two years. It taught me a lot about competition and cooperation ." Junior high was also a time for new friends and getting to know each other b e t ter through parties and dances. Having a best friend and/or a group of close friends made junior high a special time. Eighth-grader Ann Meyerring said, "Being with my friends created most of my special memories. Going on those road trips with the band and swing choir were fun too ." "The Wonder Years" proved to be a fun and enjoyable time, and not the drag they are made out to be by parents and TV shows . r PREPARING TO BE AN ASTRONAUT.

From practicing typing to completing assignments. st udents found the computers t o be fun. FredWriter, Bank Street Writ er and AppleWorks were among t he p rograms learned. "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" and " Oregon Trail" were p op ular social st udies computer p rograms. Because c omp uter literacy was made a priority , students in " The Wonder Years" acquired skills for high school and beyond. Academics 73 �Breaking a new mold in art class When someone thought about art class, what did they envision? They may never have thought of anything exciting or fun , but the Advanced Art class has proven them wrong. This class, along w ith photography, added spice to the applied arts curriculum . New to this year also was that Randy Wiese became a full-time high school teacher. Through these two classes, students expanded their current knowledge of art and photography. Senior Keith Wilson enjoyed expanding himself in advanced art. He, with the rest of the class, made sculptures, and then fired them in the kiln. For any student who wanted to discover themselves and their abilit ies, advanced art was an excellent opport unity. IMMORTALIZED IN STONE.

From baking a cake in Home Ee to learning to use a saw in Industrial Arts to creating a masterpiece in Art class, students learned through experience. These things couldn't be learned by reading or seeing a film . They had to be tested and tried to see how they work. Senior Janette Thomas agreed . "The BUSY. BUSY. BUSY. Tricia Matthews won't give up until she finishes the lost stitch. best part of taking a "hands on" class is that you end up w ith something that you'v e made and designed yourself,'' said Janette. One of the best parts of hands - o n learning is its spontaneity. From one day to the next, anything can happen: a dress made with two left sleeves or a mishap with the power tools or an almost dropped ceramic creation. To get a piece of the action, check out "learning by doing". There's never a dull moment. �THE MEANING OF LIFE.

Disc ussing these topics by taking English and So cial Scienc es cla sses made school a little more intere sting. The English teachers, Mary Conway and 76 John Burke, taught their classes about different types of literature . They read such books as " The Count of Monte Cr isto" , " Hamlet " and " The Grapes of Wrath" . Student s enjoyed reading long books and then taking lots of fun quizzes over the material lea rned . From creating group · p rojects over chapt er English/ Social Sciences material in American History to doing self -relaxation exercises in Psychology, Gary lhnen' s students liked the variety in his classes . Ernest Abariotes ' classes examined world and national issues, and studied the Constitution , the Supreme Court, world hunger, nuclear arms race and terrorism. His class was kept on the ball by discussing many new and different current topics in class. Newsweek, Time and U.S. News and World Report were used to provide background to current topics . So you can see, Eng lish /Social Sci e nce s classes were d efinitely not ordinary c lasses. INTENSE STUDY . Senior Jennifer Cat toni pays attention ta lit erature as Mrs. C onway does the paperwork . �Who studies? Read, read, read. In school, it seemed like all we did was read . But how many students actually read the material which was given to them? How many of them read that history chapter or those magazine articles or even "The Grapes of Wrath"? If you ever got behind , you discovered how difficult it was to catch up . It was hard to finish assignments when you're a hundred pages behind. Senior Karen Brich said, "Don't ever get behind. As boring as it may be. it's even more boring to try to catch up." From freshmen to seniors, people complained about the amount of studying and reading time needed . "Although I enjoyed reading, I'm a slow reader. It took me a lot of time to complete the assignments," said sophomore Michelle Warner. To keep ahead of the game, study skills had to be learned and maintained to keep on top of all the information thrown at students . Yearbook editor Ashlee Martens had some valuable advice for underclassmen . Like the Nike ad, she advised, "Just do it!" WHAT ASSIGNMENT?

Academics 77 �.At-Risk program serves many purposes This year the Department of Education required all school districts to have an At -Risk program in place for students who may be at risk for dropping out of school. "There is no strict definition for at-risk students," said Beverly Schelling. "They could be someone who has had a run-in with the law, or simply someone who is having trouble passing classes. This doesn't mean they are bad, wrong, or uneducated." THREE IS NOT A CROWD. Gretchen King ( 10). Darin Ring ( 11) and Randy Ring ( 11) know that studying together helps; peer tutoring was planned for fall. 1990. JUST ONE MORE TIME .

It moniters student academic and social progress, an important link in the prevention of dropouts. In striving for the gold, we showed that everyone deserves a chance to be their best. That's t he real goal of the At -Risk program. �NOT NOW, l'M WORKING . Jennifer Schuning ( 10) and Chad Martens ( 11) are deep in thought. A CENTER OF LEARNING . Like an oasis, the Reading room provides a place for quiet study . Reading/resource: Places to build skills Reading-ResourcePeer Tutoring-Walk-in Center - what does it all mean anyway? And now, anyone can get help with homework? Change was in the wind this year with our special services . Some things were the same , however. Reading students were still selected for Mrs. Tami Harman's reading classes on the basis of Iowa Tests of Educational Development. "This is not the Resource Room ." said Mrs. Harman. Reading deals with reading in the content areas and study skills." "In the resource room, we look at the student's total academic program and plan a personal program for each student," said Mrs. Beverly Schelling . Peer tutoring was added to the plan for both of t hese programs for next year. " We tried a walk-in center at both the junior high and the high school," said Mrs. Diana Benzing, junior high resource teacher. The junior high added Teach er Assistance Tearns to deal with student problems. Because of t he changes, more students were reached and a greater effort was made to keep all students in the regular classroom, she said . DOING FINE .

H u I <U TRI-CE NTER HIGH SCHOOL Bond issue bottoms out The Board of Education was faced with a very big issue this year: the Bond Issue . A poll given to the student body revealed a 129-62 vote in favor of the Bond Issue. The community voted against it , though, on March 20 with a 522-230 vote . The proposed issue's main objectives called for the addition of the Junior High onto the high school and a 400-seat audit orium . It would have c ost the taxpayers dn estimated 2.7 million dollars. .Mr., Rastovski . st ated that " by bringing the Junior High over here, we can save 25% of energy c osts from the inefficient fifty-year old Minden building ." He also added that it would have made better use of staff with students . "Too many teachers and coaches a re driving back and fort h when they should be in the classroom or on the practice field ." Changes for the 1990-9 1 school year have bottomed-out, b ut plans to reintroduce the Bond Issue a re underway . To be able t o reinstate t he Bond Issue , there must be a six month waiting period.

Although there were no recesses or air-conditioning, and sometimes the classes were harder, sev- enth graders felt that it was definitely better than elementary .

Though they were a little weary to see a summer of playing ball. basking in the sun, and having fun with their friends come to an end. most were anxious to get back. The students, faculty, staff. and administration at Tri-Center always enter the school year with many hopes and expectations in mind. Whether it be academics. music , or sport s there is a tradition of success in which everyone strives to keep going. Everyone wants to make the upcoming year better than the previous. Though everyone enters the year with their own hopes and expectations, they all have one goal in mind-to keep the tradition of success going. Everyone wants to do their best, and they are all willing to put in the time and effort it takes. Nobody is afraid of a challenge. There is always someone there cheering you on and encouraging you to give your best. " We all know each other, and are all real close. There's always someone willing to help." said Angie Corrin Because of this closeness we a re able to overcome our challenges. The tradition of success will keep going because though " WE ARE MANY. WE ARE ONE. 20 Peo pl e: A Big Fami ly In the class room, o n the cou rt o r just ha ngin g out with peers people at Tri-Center form a " fa mily-like" bond.

There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware. This theme song from Disney World could easily descr ibe the life in any small-sized school in the world. At most small schools there is so much that the students and the faculty share because of the closeness between them. At Tri-Center we've laughed together, we 've seen each other's tears. All of us have a lot of hopes, and many · of us have some fears . Being part of a small school may make the world seem a little bigger, but it is time we're aware; it's a small world after all.

There were those few , however. that just seem to stand out in the crowd. It was those students who put that extra time and effort in to being the best in their fields . Those students s pent much time before and after school at practices and working on personal projects. They put in many hours at open gym and playing on USVBA and AAU teams. There were many students with- in Tri-Center who received numerous honors given throughout the conference and district. The students featured in this section were those who received special honors given throughout the state. For those students. dedication had a differen t meaning. They set their goals and never backed down from a challenge. They were determined to reach those goals. and because of their desire to achieve , they did become the best in thei r fie lds .

Along with the support from home, support for the troops overseas was displayed as well. �History in the making At Home and Overseas Patriotism soared during the war. and with it. so did the sales of the American flag . Many things can become part of a student's life while they are at Tri-Center. Whether it is in athletics, academics, music, or clubs, every student seems to create their own bit of history while at T-C. The 1990-1991 school year brought with it a chapter in the his tory books that probably will not be forgotten. There was not a student at Tri-Cen ter who was not aware of the many American troops in the Middle East for the gulf crisis. Some felt the anxieties of war. which officially started January 16, 1991, more intensely by having a loved one overseas. Others read about it in government. while some analyzed it in sociology. Many of us felt a surge of patriotism during the Star Spangled Banner before a game, from seeing yellow ribbons throughout the school, and songs on the radio that were dedicated to the troops. The Gulf War was not the only thing to make history that school year. The Trojan football team had a very successful season that got them a spot in the 1990 playoffs. The 1990 T-C volleyball team also had a wonderful year, getting to regional semi-finals. Tri-Center also sent talented students to vocal all-state and to the 1991 Cottonbowl Parade.

The people who make up TriCenter School range from the students, to the faculty, to the support staff, and administration. Freshmen were no longer the youngest class as both 7th and 8th graders came over for exploratory classes. However, freshmen were still the object of upperclassmen 's pranks. "You get a lot of attention at first. but after a while people tre at you normal," says Freshman Mindy Plummer. For the sophomores and juniors. it was another step up the ladder. Sophomore Stephanie Brockman says, "It's like a big fami ly becaus e all your fri e nd s are The roy alty ge ts congrat ulations fr om t heir cour t. here." As for the seniors , it was their last year at Tri-Center. Senior Melissa Matthews comments , "I used to always want to be the one graduating and now that I'm a senior I'm not so sure.

Jessica Stephens said, "You have to take more responsibility and you're busy most of the time." Kory Arnold agreed, but thought everyone needed to be more serious and that there was a lot more classes and homework. Some of the seventh graders participated in after school sports as part of their new schedule.

Amy Ring, Kandi McCool, Heidi Schultz, and Jamie Rodenburg enjoy a high school game. - What are some changes in today's eighth grade from when you were in eighth grade? Mrs. Rosie Rastovski, on to her third year of teaching at the junior high, replied, "The most significant change that I see is that today's eighth graders are more aware of the world and the events surrounding them. The world was a much different place twenty years ago and we were more naive. " One change in the normal routine of the eighth grade is the exploratory classes at the high school. These classes have been offered for three years. They include shop. home-ec, and art. The classes are held the last period of the day. Each quarter they switch to a different class. - Do you think that exploratory classes will help you for next year? Amy Ring answered, "Yes. I will know where my classes are and know more about the teachers. " This year's eighth graders were the first to take pre-algebra ift the junior high. It is taught by Mr. Nile Smith who also teaches science at the junior high and Algebra I at the high school. - Is there much of a difference between teaching eighth graders than high schoolers? Mr. Smith, in his seventeenth year, commented. "Not really there isn 't. In class they still work at their subject. I guess the major difference is in their maturity. " - Do you like pre-algebra? "Yes." It's not that hard, but it helps me prepare for algebra next year, " said Jamie Rodenburg. - Are you looking forward to next year? Brenda Guill replied, "Yes. We will be treated more like adults." Emmy Heim added, "Yes. I've heard high school is fun , but we won't be able to get away with a Jot of tirings anymore.

They were the first class to complete all thirteen years in the Tri-Center school. Through the years classmates have come and gone. some have even left only to later return. In junior high they received additional classmates from St. Joseph's elementary school. which resulted in new friends for all. Even teachers throughout the years have noted the class's uniqueness. Mr. Pat Dalton commented. "They were the only class on thebasketball court where the guys looked like the Chicago Bears." He also added that this was the only class that during study hall. the guys let girls put makeup on them and curl their hair. Mr. Gaylord Schelling had his own views about the class and their "willingness, desire to achieve, and ability to reach limits." To sum it up, Mr. Dalton said it best, "The most unique thing about the class of 1991 is that they have a closeness among them, unlike many others." Cheerleader Leas a Stark supports the Trojans.

We also have some teachers with real unique personalities that make learning enjoyable for the students, " said Principal Brett Nanninga. Secreta ry Barb Dalton said , "T he faculty has a good attitude and a desire to build strong programs, but I feel the real rea son for all the success at Tri-Center is because we're so closely knit. The faculty. along with the rest of the school are like family." HARD AT WORK!

Faculty �Who's Running This Show? Dedicated directors making big action happen Ed Rastovski Superintendent To put on a show it takes more than just those people on stage. If this is the case, why is it then, that when it comes time to say. "Thanks", the people behind -- the scenes, or rather. the people "directing the show", are forgotten? Teachers may do a lot for the students: however. they are not the only ones here to lead the students in the right direction. The Administration. school board. and support staff at Tri-Center are also very determined in helping the students make the most of. and get the most out of. their high school years. "The administration. school board. and support staff are very caring. The staff does a super job and the board and administration are dedicated to giving the students every opportunity for a go.o d education," said Mrs. Rosalie Rodenburg. secretary of the school board. This group of people sees the importance of school and tries to encourage the students to give their best effort. JUST TRY IT!

Often in the excitement of extracurricular activities, the real reason for school is forgotten. The true reason students come to school is to receive an education. Academics combine teachers and students with books and computers. This combination forms an education that can benefit students for the rest of their lives. Tri-Center provides a wide academic experience for its students. Something is offered for everyone's talents and preferences. Academics include everything from shop to English. Students are kept up to date with IBM and Macintosh computers, typrwriters, sewing machines, microwaves, and graphing calculators. Carpet was added to the library this year for those students who like to study their academics in comfort. The library also added computerized encyclopedias for those less ambitious students who just can't seem to open a book some days. To provide extra incentive, a ninth hour was added to the end of the day for those students who needed extra time to do assignments. Academics covers a wide var iety of subjects at Tri-Center, but the real goal of providing an education is not forgo tten. ,..:.-.· \ , •I ~ ; •' a- -.•A HEY, KEITH, TRY TURNING IT ONI Michelle Cook gives Ke it h Dav is some helpful ad vice.

Most of the time when people think of yearbook, they think of the end result instead of all the work that goes into it during the year. Besides class time, staff members must also use personal time to cover the stories. A member of the staff must be at most major events during the year so that they know first hand what happe ned. A photographer must also be present to take pictures. In addition to writing the cop y, the staff must also make a layout. Every picture , headline, caption, and word of copy must be measured to fit exactly. While doing this, students must also sell ads so that they can finance the yearbook. This requires that students take class and personal time to visit local businesses. Another responsibility that the DO A LL THE PICTURE S FIT? Kellie Black an d Jill Rin g experiment on a layout. staff must handle is selling the yearbooks. This year selling the books was done differently. Instead of selling them for several weeks all of the time, they were sold for one week. Another difference this year was a new adviser , Rosie Rastovski and a n e w yearbook company , Walsworth. The best way to sum up the ye arbook experience was with a quote by staff member Kandi Anderson, "It was a lot of hard work getting the deadlines in, but it was a great e xperience.'' Staff members were : Sarah Brich, Angie Corrin, Michelle Christiansen, Kevin Carroll, Brian King, Kellie 'Black, Jill Ring , Am y Nieman, Kandi Anderson , and De ni se W ilson.

It lets students get a look at what computers can actually do to help us. The IBM lab was installed at the beginning of the school year.

Peer teaches students how to better relate with other students. and also with their teachers. The students in the class study one another's values, feelings. and personalities. They also learn more about their own persona Iities. The big event for Peer is Environmental Day for the sixth graders. where only seniors are allowed to attend. They go to Aarowhead Park and help the sixth graders with various activities. Cassie Herkenrath said , "I like Peer because I get to know people better and they get to know me better." Chad Minahan added, "Peer is fun and entertaining." Peer Students relate feelings with one another during class. �Both the tutors and the tutees get a lot from the teaching and learning experience of Peer Tutoring.

Freshmen Michelle Loftus and Ann Me yering and seniors Bill Jennings and Ryan Pe tersen try to look busy a nd spe nd their tutoring time wisely. Peer Tutoring was in trodu ced to T-C this year. The program is organized by Mrs. Tami Ha rma n. Mrs. Ha rman is responsible for matching tutees with th eir tu tors. " I don 't want to be pa rt of it. It's fo r the kids. After all. it is call ed PEER tutoring." said Mrs. Harma n. There were approximately fo rty stu de nts who participated in Peer Tutoring. Most students reacted well to being taught by another student, and most increased their grad es while lea rning better stud y ha bits. The program also seemed to build self-esteem. Gretchen King stated. " Tutoring someone helps me learn a lso." " It's not bad. I hel ped bring my grades up. " added Ja rod Dav is. Tuto r Lynn Stamp however. summed it up best by say ing.

Science is knowledge acquired by deduction of laws and conditions and testing them by experiment , studying things that make up our life add to our knowledge. In most classes, reading and studying are how we learn more. Science classes like to add a different approach. "I prefer to do labs because labs give an opportunity to have handson experiences. It also gives students a chance to see if they can do the activities of science," commented Lee Killpack , who teaches physical science, biology, and college biology. NO W THIS GOES WHERE?

Teaching in the Social Studies departmen t were Mr. Ernest Abariotes and Mr. Steve Patras. Mr. Abariotes taught American Government. Economics . Interna tional Politics. and Sociology. while Mr. Patras taught World Geography. World History. American History. and Psychology. " I learned a lot in all my Social Stud ies classes. especially Internationa l Politics." said Leasa Stark. Michelle Christiansen added . "I think t he Social Studies classes are good for you. And we had some pretty hot de ba tes in fourth hour." Some of t he topics covered were the gove rnmental system. fo reign policy. geography of t he U. S. and the rest of the world. major wars. the depression . and interactions. Although most Social Studies classes dealt with the past, there are exceptions. In classes such as Economics. Government, and especially International Politics. there was a lot of time spent discussing current issues. There was probably not a day that passed without discussing the Persian Gulf War. Mr. Abariotes's outlook on Social Studies is. " If you do not know where you have been. then you do not know where you are going." " I like Mr. Patras's class because we talk about current events and he gets us students involved. We don 't have to do everything by the book." said Laura Brich . OFF THE SUBJECT! Angi Leaders.

Finally there is lndependant Living which will prepare individuals for immediate survival in the working world. When asked how hard it is to keep track of all of the classes, Mrs. Ha nse n quoted , "It is a challenge to prepare for six different classes in a day, but at the same time, I find it very interesting! In other words, I prefer this type of teaching assignments over having seven sections of one course each day." Freshman Jaime Crozier likes sewing and talking the best.

This year the foreign language department was expanded to add the new language of Spanish. This not only stretched the foreign language curriculum but also Eleanor Gambs's schedule. Spanish was offered to the incoming freshmen because they would be the only ones able to complete the possible four years. The new class seemed to be successful with the students and its teacher. French was as popular as always even with the addition of the new language. The senior class had several students who were in French IV, which meant that the "old language" was just as good as one that had just been introduced. Mrs. Gambs said she felt more comfortable speaking French than speaking Spanish, but that she enjoyed teaching both equally. The addition of Spanish was not the only thing on Mrs. Gambs's schedule. She also involved her students in the Foreign Language Festival. She made time to show students how to make the notorious crepes and allowed the st udents to enjoy a day outside to play boule. In addition to this , she and the foreign language stude nts are plan ning another t ri p to France this upcoming summer. Ma ybe selling all that candy does pay off!

In real life people deal with things that could keep them out of trouble or save them financial problems in the future. Mr. Bob Johnson , who teaches the class, emphas izes , "The problem that we have with Business Law is there is not enough time in the high school to take everything that is needed."

It lets them get away from school faster than if they rode the bus. It lets them go out on a date without Mom or Dad hav ing to drop them off and pick them up again. It 's fantastic, or at least most of the time it is. But what happens when it all of a sudden decides to not work anymore? Take it to a mechanic? Most people do, but a lot of ambitious people take the task of repairing their car's engines by themselves. These are the type of students who took basic auto mechanics with Bill Larsen. Throughout the duration of the year-long class, the students studied t he parts of a motor like a doctor does the human anatomy. This hands-on e xperience is probably the best way of understanding the complexity of engines. Wanna be creative? For all of you who said yes , I ad• vise one prescription . .. take shop! It 's a different way of expressing yourself and it teaches skills that will be useful for the rest of your life.

"The resource room helps students when they don't understand or need a little extra boost to get things done," commented Junior Brandy Lustgraaf. The resource room is a place where the students go if they have trouble understanding their assignments. It's mostly there to improve their grade ave rage on t he periodic grading summary and for the s tud e nt s to get their homework in on time.

Student Council �~ociety of Honor Being inducted into the National Honor Society takes more than a 3. 0 grade point average. Students need to show leadership. service, character, and scholarship. First, the students must fill out an application that is reviewed by a group of selected faculty and administrators. Their first chance to be inducted comes during the second semester of their sophomore year. Then a second chance i given their junior and senior years. This gives them a reason to bring their grades up or become more active in their school or community. "Being inducted was an honor and a great experience," commented senior Angie Corrin. Once inducted, members take on the making of a school calendar, which includes students' birthdays and activities. They also sponsored the bloodmobile, to which 96 people came to give blood. Sponsor Mr. Ron Elliott, added, "The National Honor Society is a neat experience because I work with the top students, leaders, and ~Ctive participants in school activ1tes." ~ic'1ene Christiansen pins the corsage on inUC!ee Gretchen King while Dan Elliott wa its to 8ive her a certificate.

Speech also touches on the different aspects of acting and drama. Students enact short plays and scenes in class. They also learn how to follow stage instructions. Students also learn how to portray mimes through facial expressions and g~stures. They then have the chance to experiment with mime makeup. Besides the classroom activities, students got to participate in speech competitions.

Mrs. Clausen's most memorable performances this year was singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at some home basketball games.

The coaches and athletes put a lot of heart into athletics, and provided the loyal fans with many exciting seasons during the 1990-91 sports year. Tri-Center is not a big school filled with a lot of all-stars. but that didn't bother the top-notch, qualified , and very dedicated coaches and athletes. Angie Corrin said she didn't see any disadvantage in the sports program because of the school's size. "It brings out the best in everyone." said Corri n. Melissa Matthews agreed by saying. "The fact that we don't have a lot of all-stars because of our size pushes people more ... It seems the sports program has had much success for quite a few years. The 1990-91 sports year was no exception. With two cross coun- try runners making it to state, the volleyball team making it to the regional finals. and the football team making the state playoffs. it is no wonder Tri-Center is thought of as the team to beat. Being thought of as the team to beat can also add a lot of pressure. However, with a lot of hard work and a little extra time the coaches and athletes overcame this pressure . Many put time in during the off-season lifting weights, going to open gym. playing USVBA volleyball. and participating in AAU basketball. "Sometimes it is tough being the target because you always have to be at your best. You can never take things for granted, .. said Katie Leaders. 35 BLAST!

Mindy Schafer, and fellow graduate Angela Christiansen, many might have expected the young team, with just three seniors, to struggle in the 1990 season. However. that was not the case. "Our season went very well. considering the strength of our conference and the youth of our team," said Coach Nile Smith. Third-baseman, April Minahan. a freshman. agreed by saying, "I felt we did fine considering some of our youth and inexperience." High points of the season included the 8- 7 comeback-win over Underwood, the 1-0 victory over Treynor, and the pressure-filled sweep over Griswold to clinch the conference championship. Strengths of the 16-7 Trojanette were overall team attitude. hitting. and the experienced battery of Sarah Brich and Cassie Herkenrath. "One of our goals was to win the conference," said Coach Smith .

They used the team's strength in defense along with their quickness to win over some impressive competitors. A non-conference game with Logan-Magnolia was the game of the year when Trojan baseball brilliance showed through. The team took on a tough pitcher and a solid defense and come out on top with a definite 3 to I win. It was a game when everything came together and it made coaching fun and playing enjoyable. However, there were some heartbreakers during the year. The most crushing was the loss to AvoHa Shelby-Tennant in extra-innings when a double-play ball was dropped. The 1990 Trojan field was the home of two very talented players who were named to special teams. Nick Gambs was named to All-Conference second team and All-Area honorable mention. Scott Johnsen was named to All-Area and All-District first teams. The 1990 Trojans ended their season with six wins and eleven losses. �Vars ity First Row: Eric O'Ne ill.

Underwood brought five boys and one girl to the team. Coach Pat Dalton said the only negative aspect to the combination was that it moved the team up from class IA to class 2A. The boys' team had five of the seven varsity positions often filled by freshmen. The girls' : team was more experienced with two seniors and one junior. The program produced two state qualifiers, freshman Marty Dalton and senior Caryn Crocfer. Both of them finished fourteenth at state. The highlight of the season for the girls was their first place team finish at the Woodbine meet. The brighter spot of the season for the boys was their first place team finish at Treynor.

They took a first place finish in the Shelby Tournament for the ninth straight year. "Even though People t hink it wasn 't a very tough tournament, it was quite challenging," said Coach Mary Conway. High points of the season were the comeback wins over Red Oak and Lewis Central. Coach Conway, who won her 200th match this year, commented, "It was enjoyable beating Lewis Central for the first time ever, especially because of the way we had to come back." One of the team's strengths was its versatility in the event of illness and injuries. The team did a good job of pulling together with the changes of their offense and the absences of key players at times. Senior Katie Leaders commented, " It was kind of an up and down season because of our lack of concentration. However. we always seem to have fun and Mrs. Conway was right there in the middle of it."

Great success In Boys' Basketball With determination and a little luck, the boys' basketball team made out with a record of 17-6. Coach Carl Cochran said, "People weren't sure of the team at first, but the boys played well together and had an outstanding record. They learned and accepted their roles which helped to beat some more talented teams." Eric O'Neill commented that basketball has helped him to become a more disciplined person and a better team player. He also thought the roles he learned will help him to do his job to his best ability and to cooperate well with others.

The team had five seniors return from the last year's team and two of them were state qualifiers. Along with the T-C Tournament, Tri-Center was the host of the Sectional Tournament. Randy Ring and Bert VanNordstrand were the two T-C wrestlers to advance to the District meet. Randy had an exciting match that went into overtime; however, he was beat out by a two -point decision. and his chance for making state was lost. Unfortunately. Bert was also beat out in districts. The team had to deal with a few injuries throughout the season and wrestle with several open weight Coac h Ernie Abariotes lends some words of e ncouragement to senior Brian Manhart just classes, which hurt them in the tour- nament matches. But the team had a good season over all. Coach Abariotes was disappointed about_not returning to state this year, but hopes to have some of his boys make it there again soon. And hopefully next year he won 't have to go through so many black eyes. Randy Ring summed up his wrestling career with, "WOW!" Lynn Stamp added. "I really liked wrestling. It was a lot offun.

Talking with friends kept some of the team and students occupied and warm when they weren't competing. This year's boys' track team started off really well. Coach Bill Larsen commented, 'The season started out with the Trojans looking to be one of the top teams in the area." The Trojan boys didn 't succeed because at mid season, some of the key people were out with injuries. The intensity began to fade and teamwise the Trojans slipped to the lower half in team finishes . Top place winners for the season were senior Bill Jennings in the shot and in the discus , and freshman Marty Dalton in the 3200 and 1600.

Others remembered the exciting victories in academcis , sports. and fine arts. along with the disappointing losses throughout the year. We accomplished many goals during the year and overcame many challenges. We lea rned to look past the bad times and concentrated on the good. Though the end of the yea r brought sadness to some. overall the 1990-91 school yea r had shone with talents and a bilities of a ll at Tri-Center. We had succeeded in making this school yea r one to remember. " WE WERE MANY. WHO BECAME O NE." Academics Overlooked Tri-Ce nter has a strong academic progra m. yet with so many extra curricula r activities it's easy to forget the real purpose of school-an edu cation . Though th is may be true we strongly follow the policy of success out of the classroom comes after success in the classroom. �Friends Packing up the dreams God planted in the fertile soil of you. Can't believe the hopes He's g·ranted means a chapter in your life is through. But we'll keep you close as always it won't even seem you've gone. 'Cause our hearts in. big and small ways will keep the love that keeps us strong. And friends are friends forever if the Lord 's the Lord of them . And a friend will not say never 'cause the welcome will not end. Though it's hard to let you go in the father's hands we know that a lifetime's not too long to live as friends. With the fai th and love God's give n springin' from the hope we know. We will pray th e joy you'll live in is t he strength that now you show. But we 'll keep yo u close as always it won' t even seem you've gone. 'Ca use o ur hearts in big a nd small wa ys will keep the love that _keeps us strong. Mic hae l W.

She said, "I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching College English this year. The paper load has increased considerably, but the interaction with the students far outweighs that. It's very refreshing to teach seniors again. " The freshmen class has worked on To Kill a Mockingbird and just recently on Romeo and Juliet. Sophomores have been working on Julias Caesar. "It has been a very tough story to follow, but it's getting easier, " commented Nicole Schneckloth . The juniors have been busy writing reports on plays they have recently read.

Many of the students who were asked responded with some interesting input . Dave Wilson said, "I think when he was younger he must have been beaten up by kids just about our age when he was in high school, so now he is old and he takes it out on us." Mr. Aboriotes is not the only social studies teacher in the school. There is also Mr. Cochran. Mr. Cochran teaches t hree required cou rses: World Geography, World History, and American History. Younger students learn a lot from these requ ired courses. Megan Minahan said, " I like World History because it's interesting. I like studying about wars a nd military geniuses.

The classes that are offered this year are Physic a I Sc ience, Biology , College Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Science 7 and 8. Science can be taught in many ways. The best way that science can inform students is through the understanding of the students ' personal ities . Most students like to learn about a certain subject in d ifferent ways and it's important for a teacher to understand that need. Mr. Killpack and Mr. James Clarke have accomplished those needs and informed their students.

People seemed to find comfortable to be 'cool '. Styles in shirts ranged from sweatshirts, to sweaters, to T-shirts, to flannel shirts, to body suits. Co-Ed Naked shirts were also cool , but they were outlawed in the halls. As for jeans ' less was best'. People seemed to ignore the designer jeans and head for the cheaper ones. Popular places to buy them were t he Limited and Vanity. At the beginning of the year c olored jeans were seen on most people , but by the end of t he year it was plain old blue jeans again. lmke Schroder wore her jeans a little different. She wore bell bottoms and blue jeans with patches on the butt. They were different, but definitely cool! Shoe styles were of variety , and of taste. Footware that was definitely cool was cowboy boots, fake Birkenstocks , combat boots , work boots , ropers, mountain boots , Converse shoes, and tennis shoes. As for jewelry , there weren't many new trends. Chokers were an ' in' at the beginning of the year, but died off by the end of the year. At one time body piercing was the thing. Michelle Loftus and Ann Meyering pierced their noses, and Jenny Lemmonds pierced her belly button. This trend did not last long due to angry parents and infections. As for hair, there were no special trends. Most g irls wore t heir hair long , with no ba ngs, th o ugh some people dared to cut their hair short . One e xample was Mindy Plummer. Guys wore their hair in typical do's: short. As for those who dared to be different, Brian Skow died his hair b lack, one night when he was bored , a nd Jay Behrensen and Kirk Ring shaved their sides. As every year, there were those who were dared to be d iffe rent, but were cool '. Two prime examples were Cary Popkin , in her Danzing shirts, shorts, and combat boots , and then t he re was Tom Dawson , that bul l riding daredevil, who started the cowboy trend. They were different, but they were definitely cool'! In the middle of the year the enti re school took a survey. The students got to write who and what they thought was hot', and not'. Here are the answers. Some of the answers may have two or more people or things due to extreme high or low opinions of subjects. -Bobbi Ch ristensen (70/Surveys • Songs: Hot-I Would Do Anything For Love Not-Achy, Breaky Heart Barney Song Anything by Michael Jackson TV Shows: Hot-Home lnprovement Not-90210 Cars: Hot-94 Mustang 93 Camero Not-Pinto Station Wagon Models: Hot-Cindy Crawford Krissy Taylor Nikki Taylor Perfe rred Stock Guy Not-Christie Brinkley Cindy Crawford Actresses: Hot-Julia Roberts Jodie Foster Not-Julia Roberts Madonna Actors: Hot-Mel Gibson Ch ris O'Donnel Tom C ruise Not-Patrick Swayze Tom Cru ise ��, Snowstorms, ice and sub-zero temperatures crippled the East Coast for much of the winter.

The students put evei:ything together piece by piece in the big puzzle of school. They tie up loose ends in everything they do. If it's sports or drama T-C puts it all together to get the end result. All students smooth out the rough edges to fit and get along so T-C truly has the right combination.

Laura King waits for her moment in the spotlight as Callie Rodenburg and Katie Morse hand out flowers . What do students remember most about high school after they have graduated? Most will say Prom, Homecoming and Graduation. They are the most fun and the saddest. Student Life includes all of these and many more. Student Life ranges from the biggest events of the school ·year to the smallest. It is what students do and how they do it. Weekends are always a big topic. What did you do this weekend? What are you going to do next weekend? Activities range from sports to music and parties to reading a good book. Some events are dealing with school and others do not, but they are all things students do while not being burdened by the s tress of school. -Jackie Carlson �"Flannels with a Tshirt underneath is really popular." -Heidi Schultz "Clothing is more casual and laid back." -Sarah Goodwin "Large pants so they can wear underwear under them and let them show." -Mrs . Tami Harman said when asked what a fash ion trend was. What's Hot P Fashion Trends at T -C epe, Guess and Levi's are just a few of the many brands of clothing students wore. But it takes more than just wearing clothes to say it's fashion. Fashion or Style is defined a s a manner or c u stom that prevails. The prevailing s tyle of 1995 was jeans with a shirt . If one w alked down the hallway there wouldn't be one shirt in particular that everyone was wearing. Sh irt s ranged from No Fear to flannel and dressy to casual. Cowboy Up! In keeping with the country school, some stu dents took up the Western look. -Jackie Car lson Tom Dawson wears a cowboy hat. Tom competes in rodeos; he is a bull rider . �Jess Stephens with her unique style wears overalls as a jean alternative. Megan Minahan has on a flannel shirt which was the most popular trend . "A lot of people are into western wear." -Kevin Christensen '"Ropers" -Matt Handbwy said was the 1994-95 trend in shoes. "Pro Team Jackets'" -Ashlee Wulff said was the lastest in fashion.

They enjoy getting to pick out some classes they want to take, but look forward to getting to choose more freely. Keith Incontro said, "Study halls are fun ." The eighth graders have taken lots of action this year . Some of them attended Leadership Academy last summer and now that group sponsors dances. They have been sponsoring recycling throughout the school. They take care of gathering up the materials each week. Many of them are in chorus and band. They also actively participate in sports. Eighth grade has brought about changes since seventh grade. They now are the role models . It also means more activities to get involved in.

Or when walking down the hall to the next class and the tardy bell rings. What are you going to tell the teacher? This sophomore class has a few ideas. Brian Skow said an excuse of his was, "The dog had my keys." A favorite excuse of Jaime Anderson was , "My brother was abducted by aliens so we had to celebrate." Most of the time the sophomores can get the teachers to believe their stories , but as Angela Olson said, "It depends on the teacher. " Sometimes, the teachers hear some pretty wild excuses too. Mrs. Harman has gotten a few written excuses on reasons to not go swimming - "I don't want to come back to school looking like a drowned rat," "I can't tie my trunks," or "I didn't want to get wet." Another written excuse she's gotten from someone is "Please excuse my son from P.E. he don't fill good!"

The teachers try to teach the students something that is fun to learn, but also educa tional. They only want to do what is in the best interest of their students. The teachers do expect a lot from their students but then, don't we expect a lot from them? We sometimes tend to expect the teachers not t o give us any homework on game nights . Well, without a good education you can not go anywhere. They are just trying to prepare us for what is ahead. Like Mr. Lee Killpack said, "I believe our s t udents should be challenged to develop to their fullest potential. This requires discipline of bot h t he teacher and the student. I attempt to give m y best to that goal and expect the same of our s t udents." We may think they are push ing us too h a rd , but actually they just ex p ect out of us wh at we expect out of them. You m ay not think t his way now , but after high s c h ool not only will yo u remember your friends and t he grea t times you had, but you will also remem ber your teachers. You will be thanking them for a ll t he time a n d effort they put in jus t so you c ould go on and become wha t you h ave a lways d r eamed of becoming.

Tri-Center experienced many changes this year. The school year started moving, literally. The trucks moving dirt could be felt throughout the school. As the pi le of dirt got higher, students got more excited for the addition to be built. New bleachers were a needed change because of time. The old b leachers wore out after 30 years of service. The new bleachers brought the gym up to date and were safer. In this book, there are also changes. The yearbook staff decided to change the academic section to make the book more inter esting. The staff decided to cove r areas of t he curriculum, inst ead of individual classes. The order of sections was a lso r earr a nged. All the changes in and aro und t he s c hool made for an exc iti ng y ear. It was definitely t ime f or a c hange. - Jac ki e C a r lson 2 * Opening �Out with the old and in with the new.

Students are always practicing for contests or concerts. Getting ready for an upcoming event takes a lot of work. Included with all the work, the students have fun and learn a lot. "Chorus keeps me busy when contests come around," said Laura Lefeber. The benefits of being in chorus are that you are more involved. Laura Gaudian said, "You get to spend time with others and work with them." Another benefit to being in chorus is that you get to go to new places and watch other students perform. Ri sing to the top with excitement and competition is one way to describe the 1995- 96 Sensations. They started with winning first place at Audubon's WIC tournament. Chris Hester sings hi s solo for Variety Show rehearsal. Then at state contest at Gri swold they received a Divison One. Next, they took their talents to Urbandale and got second place in their class. "I enjoy being in chorus because I like to sing, especially in the small groups," said Tiffany Hester. Students like to sing and chorus lets them do this during school hours. "Singing in chorus is fun because you get the chance to learn a lot of neat songs," said Sara Esser.

What exactly is the role of a cheerleader? Some think it is as simple as throwing on a skirt and jumping up and down. The real role is to pump up the crowd with school spirit, and cheer on the team no matter what the scote is. Cheerleaders don't just grab their pom pons, run out on the floor, and scream "Go , fight, win!" There is a lot more to it. For a uditions the girls have to attend three days of hard practice . During these practices they learn a chee r and a dance. For the day of auditions they have to make up a cheer and reate three posters. They also have to know the school song, the dance, and a cheer the sponsors choose. They also have to pass a qui z over the sport they are trying out for. After they have made the squad, they attend a summer camp where they learn all Sie rra Sc hul e nberg ge ts th e crowd pumped at a pep rally. the old and new cheers. Th e c heerl ea d e rs practice one to two times a week. During that time they make posters and plan pep rallies. Cheerleading does n't seem as hard as the sports they cheer for but cheerleaders are athletes too. It is hard to get the crowd excited for a game when the team is behind. The cheerleaders work hard to keep that positive attitude. When the team lo ses the cheerleaders still encourage the team. Cheerleading means sacrificing all Friday and Satw-day ni ghts . It really does take a lot of dedication. As a ny one ca n see cheerleaders do have a big part in sports. lt does involve a lot more than just throwing on an outfit and yelling. It involves energy, spirit and ded ication. By Heather Marsh "It \\as rea lly exciting to go to state for 13. J." -J ennifer Witt Wrestlin g Cheerl eaders L to R: Jennife r Witt.

They gave a $150 scholarship to two graduating seniors whom were past members. The seniors must apply and tell how they used their leadership skills. This year's recipients of the scholarships were Sarah Ord and Sarah Killpack. They raised money for the scholarships by having bake sales and craft sales at basketball games. They also held four dances: Halloween, Valentine's Day, end of the year, and one for fifth and sixth graders. They also helped the high school Student Council with the Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. Each leadership member had to apply to be in the group. They summited an application on why they wanted to be in the group and new ideas they had for the group . The applications were looked over by a panel of teachers and Mr. Bellar, jr. high principal. They then choose nine students to be in the group.

These many different types of bedrooms still have one main function- a place to sleep. With all the choices of decora tions, bedrooms vary. Some people like to use a theme while others use personal creativity to create a comfortable room for the owner. Katherine Fischer showed her creativity and uniqueness by "Here fi shy, fish~." Fish were popul ar pets to have in one's bedroom. decorating her room with her own artwork. She painted and drew on her walls to create original walls. Laura Gaudian also used her creativity to paint her room . She sponge painted stars and a moon in gold. Pets were also a popular thing to have in bedrooms.

School Board/ Administration * 97 �cu Very often things that teachers do for students go unnoticed. Correcting tests and papers, preparing for class, doing school work at home, and being involved in extracurricular activities a.re some things that may go unnoticed . In return for their hard work teachers often have many high expectations for their students. Teachers set their expectations for them elve and for their students so they both can continue to improve at their work. "I want students to be here every day, try to the best of their ability, and be honest," said Robert Johm;on, business teacher. "I want students to make decisions on how they feel rad1er than on what others feel," said Tami Harman, health and P.E. teacher. Maybe the highest expectation of a teacher for their students is to have the students succeed at what they teach . "I consider my expectations high for my students. I want every student to succeed and have every student tTy because if they don't try they will never know if they can succeed," said Lori Higby, algebra teacher. As teachers continue to work they will continue to have expectations for their students and as expectations get higher improvement will continue to show.

Teaching strateg ies are chang ing to keep up w ith new techno logy. Th ings like team teaching were introduced this year. Parenting became required and field trips became effective ways of learning. The Academ ics section changed th is y ear also. Instead of covering each su~ect indiv idually, a new route was taken. The section was split into s ix categories: Outside the C lassroom, Field Trips, Life Long Learning, Labs, Linking Past- Present and Curricu lum Changes. Each topic covers all su~ect areas. Today , students learn outside the classroom just about as much as inside t he classroom because ofjobs and homework t hat requ ires ta lki ng to relatives and frie nds for research. F ie ld trips are a fascinating, new and excit ing way of learning. Things students are learning today are lifelong skills , such as learning to figure in A ccounting I or learning to coo k a meal in F oods class. Labs teach students to work togeth e r as they w ill have to in the work force. Linking past to present develops a new fee ling towards ancestors for s ome students. Curriculum changes w ere a big part of the y ear. Portfolios, wh ich w ill be beneficia l even after high school, were requ ired for grades 9-12 for the first t ime. All of these new classes made t he school change to prepare for cha nging t imes. J 00 * Academics �Brad Guill learns while having fun during a lab in Shop class.

Some students find it a time to talk about the latest news, and some actually study. Mrs. Tami Harman said, "My biggest pet peeve that people try to do during study hall is sleep." Studying improves the knowledge that students have learned in school. Some students study with the radio on and so me students study in complete silence. "I study at home because it's quiet and I get most of my homework done," said Tim Dalton. Traverse Hall addresses the student body during the VeterJns Day assembly.

Outside Classrooms * 103 �Field Trips Add to Classes I by Cindy Roberts M Helping students to embrace knowledge aking sure students understand what they a re learning is an important part of being a teacher. Many field trips are taken throughout the school year to help the teachers accomplish this, and to add to classroom activities. While lectures, taking notes, and tests help students comprehend what they learn, taking field trips let the students view what they learned in a whole different aspect. "You actually see what yo u learned instead of just listenin g to it," said Pam Jenn ifer Witt and Heather Marsh concentrate on the co mputers whil e they learn a new yearbook program. At Headstart, Ke ith Ne lson watches as the kids color during the parenting field trip. Amy Rheam and Laura Lefeber look at a magazine while waiting for the girls basketball tournament to start. 104 *Field Trips Madsen. Field trips help many of the students see what the working world is like. It shows them that even after graduation, new things can be learned everyday. "Field trips help me discover that the real world is like a learn in g center," said Janet Bruck. Going on field trip also help s students decide what they want to do with their li ves. Seeing another person doing their job may help them decide what they want to do. "It helps me learn what other peop le do with their time," sa id Abry Leazenby. Many field trips were tak n this ear.

Tina Peterson's opinion was , "I probably will use some math stuff, butthat's about it." Believe it or not, things being learned now in school will be useful in the future . Peer teaches ski lls that can be used in business and personal relationships. Stephanie Voge agreed with this statement when she said, "It teaches you how to effectively communicate with people." Foods , Parenting , Independent Living and Health sJ.<_ills can be applied later in life if someone decides to have a family or to live alone. Foods teaches about proper food storage and how to read a recipe. Mrs. Julie Wood said, "Most people will cook sometime in their lifetime." Parenting discusses child development. It explores how at certain age levels someone can discipline and play with his or her children to make them the best people they can be. Among other things , Independent Living instructs students on how to complete a job application and how to buy a car. Mrs. Tami Harman said,"Health helps in decision making . It increases knowledge about disease treatment and prevention." Physical Education and Weight Training will help a student to stay healthy and fit to lead a strong life. The CPR unit in P.E. may save a life one day . In reference to Algebra and logical thought processes, Miss Lori Higby said,"You may not use all of it but it teaches you to do things in order." Calculus may not be a part of everyday life , but classes are taught for a reason. Some things learned in school will be used in daily life. Adam Rin g, Robbie Marlin. Robbie Huebner. and B.J.

LoveDad, Mom, Mike and Dan I20*Parent Ads Brandi! belieye in you ! Love, Mom Jackie, Remember "Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is!" Set your goals high. Love, Mom & Dad �Richard, You always did want your own wheels! We're proud of you and your accomplishments. Love, Mom&Dad Amy, You're not only my daughter but you've become a very good friend. Good luck in everything you do. Be happy. Love you lots. Mom and Dad "Comes the Dawn" After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and co mpany does n't mean sec urity. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't .-...iocCJl._1 promises . And you begin to accept defeats with yo ur head up a nd yo ur eyes open, w ith the grace of a wo man, not the grief of a child . And yo u learn to bui ld a ll of yo ur roads on tod ay because to morrow's gro und is too uncerta in for plans and futures have a way of fa lling down in mid fli ght. After awhil e you learn that even sunshine burns if you ge t too much, so yo u plant yo ur own ga rden and decorate yo ur own so ul instead of wa iting fo r someone to bring yo u flowe rs . And yo u learn that you rea lly can endure. That yo u rea ll y are strong. And you reall y do have worth and you learn and learn. With every good bye yo u learn. Troy, All through the years we've watched you grow with such determination to achieve your goals. Keep in 1nind what Grandma always told you, "Do the best you can do, smile no matter what, and always be yourselfl" We're very proud of you.

"But it was reassuring to have another fres hmen in fl ags also." Ni eman also said that the practices in the bitter cold fro m 7 to 8 a.m. were the worst part for her. To join the Satin Knights, Mrs. Clausen said you cannot be in band. The only other requirement is to audition .

Because of the switch, the drill team was unable to make the Nov. 1 deadline for tate competition. The forme r sponsor planned on getting new uniforms. Mrs. Rastovski said, 'There was no need for new uniforms , and there was no ti me." Choreographer for the Jam Connection was fo rmer TriCenter student, Sara Nelson.

They were busy with contests from the beginning of September until May. Many times the contests were on a weekend and on the student's own time. Some of those contests were at Johnston, Northwest Missouri State University, Sioux City, Lewis Central, Elizabeth Matter and Nicole Schroeder Western Iowa Conference in sing during the Christm as program. Griswold and the state contest. (Photo by Jennifer Stephens.) Band, marching band, and jazz band also performed in many contests. They performed at Creston, Clarinda, Bellevue East, Western Iowa Conference in Griswold and state. Eric Boos said, "Going to the contests and events was the best thing" for him in band. Some events for vocal/instrumental were the All-State Concert on Nov. 21 and 23. They had a Christmas program on Dec. 16, the Tri-Center Dinner Theater on Mar. 16 and on May 5, they had the music awards night. The Dinner Theater was filled with food and many perfo rmances put on by the students. It was to show everybody what they had learned all year long. Tri-Center had many ratings throughout the year, ranging from Division I to Division II ratings. The eighth grade boys choir sings during l11ei r Christmas program. (Photo by Jennifer Stephens.)

Speech Team worked hard, NHS proved not giving up and working hard pays off and the drama class produced another successful play. For most, this will be a year to never forget, but for a few speech team members, it might be a year they will never want to re-live. These speech team members had quite an adEric Esser and Dan Olsen performed venture with Mr. Gibson. While in th e pl ay " Hillb ill y Weddin '. " they were going from a speech (Ph oto by Heath er Marsh.) meet in Denison to a Swing Choir contest in Johnston , the school van broke down. They were stranded at a rest area. A truck driver was kind enough to give them a ride to John ston . The girls had to sit on the bed inside the semi while Mr.Gibson rode "shotgun." The drama class put on a play this year entitled "Hillbilly Weddin ' ." Students were able to audition for the play. The drama students directed the play and did all of the make-up and costu mes. While the drama cl ass students were busy showing off their talent to the community, the National Honor Society was busy making a few changes. The students who were about to become new members of the National Honor Society were surprised with a yellow carnation which they wore all day at school. Then, that night the induction ceremony was held at Pizza King. Every year NHS sponsors the blood mobile. The American Red Cross comes to the hi gh school and any student 17 or older, including the community, are free to donate blood. This year there were difficulti es. Anyone who had eaten school lunch after February 12, was unable to donate due to the strawberry scare. Government strawberries fro m Mexico were shipped to six states and were thought to carry the virus Hepatitis A. Some of those strawberries were shipped to Iowa. They checked lot numbers and TriCenter's strawberries were in the clear. Due to the ri sk, no one could don ate. This reduced the donors greatly, but members of the community picked up the slack. On Apri l 30th, the American Red Cross returned and there was a tremendous turn out by students and staff.

"We knew we would have to face Missouri Valley and St. Albert, two of the top rated teams in the state," said assistant coach Doug Gibson. With some teamwork and the will to win the Trojans pulled a 7-7 conference record and a 10-13 record overall. "Teamwork this year helped us to win, especially during the game with Walnut. Even though we didn' t win , we pl ayed some of our best ball of the year in that game," said Gibson. With onl y three seniors this season, Matt Minahan, Jason Burton and Keith Nelson, the Trojans had to rely on their younger players to fill in gaps. These play- ~ ers stepped up to the challenge. Individual players received many honors this season. Matt Minahan earned first team All-Conference at shortstop. Matt Preuss also received first team fo r designated hitter. Brad Guill received second team for outfield. Chris Hester was named to Honorable Mention. Three pitchers primari ly split the chore on the mound. Matt Mi nahan, Matt is @ sports Christensen and Mike Barnes strived all season to q~tter their petform ances from game to game. At the beginning of the season Jay McDonald was expected to pitch also, but an illness left him out of play for most of the summer. Coach Gibson is looking forward to hi s return to the mound for the 1997 season. Although they wi ll lose three prominent players, they have a plethora of young talent to look forward to.

"Our season was much like a roller coaster," head coach Kevin Matulka said. "We had a strong start, and then we were up and down depending on the day." "This year went well but could have gone better," Traci Minahan said. "I wish I could have improved more. " The 1996 schedule like always was a tough one. When the team played to their best ability, they were competitive with anybody. They can' t have the off nights like they did, said Matulka. "This year was a tough one but it was nice to see everybody sticking to it the whole way. We played real tough at the end of the season," senior Amy Smith said. T hi s year the ladies had close games with teams from Underwood, Boyer Vall ey and Treynor. The ladies played four tough games in di stricts with Underwood but lost to end their season . With the coaching change, one would think the team 's level of quality would decrease. This year the ladies proved that to be a false statement. Wi th new coach 22@ s ports Matulka, the season went as well or better than previous years, said Kaylee Dollen. Blocking and hitting were strong areas this season. With a somewhat tall team the ladies had no problem getting above the net. Passing was the biggest problem this year, said Matulka. "Passing is the key to volleyball and we need to master it. Some games we passed great and other nights it just wasn ' t working. Passing was one of the cars on our roller coaster of a season," Matulka said. "This year was a lot of fun and more of an emotional drain than I thought it would be." By Chad Alexander Ups, Do Mix Sea Megan Min ahan gets set to pound a serve past th e opponent.

The team toppled their skepticism by becoming District 10 champions and winning a berth into the state playoffs. For the fi rs t time in six years, the team burst into the state pl ayoffs. Their first opponent was LeMars-Gehl en, las t year's state champion. The Troj ans came up short at the end , but gave it their all.

" The Troj ans ended their season as District 10 champions with a record of eight wins and two losses. Their only loss in the regular season was to LoganMagnolia.

Coach Pat Dalton said most runners competed in about ten meets. The boys had four runners while the girls had six . The boys did not have enough players to make a team. The girls had enough to make a team in the majority of the meets. Although the team was small , many runners did well. Tim Dalton said, ''This year's team was small, not a lot of people." For some runners , thi s was a totally new experience. The team practiced after school at the school or sometimes they went to Arrowhead Park and Quail Run. The home meets were held at Arrowhead and Quail Run Golf Course. Aaron Harris said, "I thought thi s cross country team was a lot of fun, but a lot of work." Many runners were competing at the top of their game. Coach Dalton said, "I thought the cross country team did pretty well." He said that one of their goal s was to get better at every meet. This is hard because ev26@ sports ery course is different. Coach Dalton thought to improve cross country at TriCenter, there definitely needs to be more involvement and more peo ple need to watch. Mary Zellmer said, "I liked the cross country team because I got to meet a lot of new people." All of the runners improved during the season. Tim Dalton , Sarah Ring, Bedane Divelbess, Stacy Alexander and Mike Barnes improved the most, said coach Dcilton. Of all Tim's accomplishments this year, the state meet was hi s greatest.

"I was very happy with the second half of the season. We started off rocky, but through hard work the girls were able to become very competitive," said coach Mark Fritch. After returning from the Christmas break, the girls came back like a whole new team. Before the break, the girls had a record of L-6 and after the break the ir record was 5-7. "Over the Christmas break, the girls' work ethic was the major fac tor ca us- Reform After Recess ing the second half of the season to go better," said Fritch. With two rem a inin g senio rs, Amy Smith and Amy Mor e, there was some experience on the floor. Only having two seniors meant they had an exceptionally young team. With four juniors, three sophomores and two fres hmen, most of the team can return for at least one more year at Tti-Center. "Our seniors showed great leadership, and the younger players learned from them . A lot of our success during the late part of the season was due to a change of attitude of the team due to the leadership of the sen iors," said Fritch. "Thi s year was fun. We practiced real hard and we tried our be t," said Adrienne Soppe. "We tried to use our height as a strength but being a young team slowed us down." T urnovers and ball handling were a weakness throughout the course of this season, said Fritch. But they also had height, post player and rebounding as strengths.

Coach Carl Cochran said , "Understanding their roles very well and playing so well together led to the team's accomplishments." Cochran said overall, the guys acheived as much as they were able to achieve. The Daily Nonpariel named the team the No. 1 team in Southwest Iowa, and the Omaha World-Herald named them the No.2 team in the state. T wo team members were given special awards during the year. Coach Carl Cochran won his 400th career victory on February 18 at Elk-Horn Kimbalton. Also, Cary Cochran became Iowa's all-time career scoring leader. All of the success the team shared resulted in a large crowd following. "Some 3o@ s ports of the high points of the season were making the state tournament and the great following we had throughout the year and on the state trail ," Cochran said. "Fan support was great. As Cary was approaching the state record , we had many people come to watch who had not even been to a game in years. Watching our team was kind of contagious," Cochran said. Fans travelled from near and far to participate in the excellent season the boys had. They worked hard and achieved many goals. Their accompli shments will be looked up to m the future.

Abariotes said all they need for nex t year is off- season tra in ing , tournaments, wrestling camps and weight training to get into shape for the big wins. They also need to fi ll more of the weight classes so they are better prepared against teams that have all of their classes filled. "Many matc hes were p retty close, except for teams where all the weights were fi lled," said Abariotes .

Amy Smith qualified for state in both the shotput and the di scus. The state meet was held in Des Moines. Amy placed 16th in the shotput and fourth in the discus. Katie Zellmer said that track practice was full of running, conditioning and getti ng ready for the next meet. Many events did repeatedly well. With the weather not cooperating well this season, many practices were called off. The shortness of practice time did not allow the girls to get to the level th at was available. Track practice consisted of set workouts whi ch depended on what was run at meets. Weightlifting to build muscle and to gain overa ll strength was also emphasized at the beginning of the season.

For many, the j ourney begi ns with the process of cboosing a college. Some students choose not to go to college. A few even choose to serve in the military. All colleges differ in some way, and fi nding the perfect one is sometimes quite difficult. Angi e Olson said , "I took a college visit to UNO, and that made my decision easier. Seeing the college allows you to see if it is right for you." Others fi nd the decision of picki ng a school extremely easy. Kim Dea said , "I knew by October that I was going to Iowa State Uni versity." Angie Hansen agreed, "I knew I was going to ISU as soon as I was accepted there." Many choose their college because it has the kinds of programs they want for thei r future career. Eric Esser said, "I chose Iowa State because it was the onJ y school that had the best opportunities fo r the fi eld I am looking in to." 48 @ Peop le In order to get into th e coll ege of ch ice, tes ts have to b passed and appli cations have to be fi ll ed ou t. Many studcn, took the ACT during the fa ll or summer months. Most colleg require a minimum ACT score or c lass rank in order for admit tance. Si nce the cost of an ed ucation is al o hi gh, ma ny se· niors appl y for as many scholars hip as possible. A fin ancial aid estimator also mu st be filled out. Much of the paperwork. re quires the help of most parent . , o, the proce o f 1.:hoosing coll ege is a joint proj ect. Some seniors choose to go in to the workforce immedi ately after high schoo l. They deal with the process of fin ding . job foll owing grad uation . Whatever a seni or chooses to do with hi or her future, he or she mu st make many deci sions along the way. The ~eci ­ sions vary with diffi culty, and sometim es require thought an extra input.

School prepares students for college and the real world. Susie Ring said, "I'm in Mr. Abariotes' economics class and it is complicated." Classes aren ' t the only things students work hard on. There are three tests taken by the juniors. One test is the optional preliminary SAT.. The others are the ITED and ASV AB. These tests are mandatory. The scores of these tests will be shown to colleges and some work places. Mr. Elliott said these tests would help students make a career choice and give them an idea of what they want to do ·after high school. Along with the classes and tests, there are fun things to do. Juniors are responsible for put- ting on prom. They have to raise money by selling magazines. Juniors start to fundraise right at the start of the year. When school starts, students receive materials to sell magazines. Abty Leazenby said she is looking forward to decorating with her friends and just having fun while getting ready for prom.

They have to think .ihead for the future: estabJi sh i ng how many credits they will need, and what classe they have to take in order to graduate.

For instance, in junior high, gum is not allowed but in high school it is. nc Boos is reading durin g advisory the fir. t ne wspaper th at th e sc hoo l p bli,hed (Photo by Sara Dau.) In the freshmen year, establishing goals is also important. It is important because some colleges require certain classes and grade point averages before they will accept a student. Most students in today' s society plan on going to coUege. Something that can help getting into a college is a scholarship. Not everyone is a great athlete, so some students might take the way of an academic scholarship. To receive one a student would have to start in the freshmen year. Career planning should be considered so a student can plan on taking the coITect classes in college that would help them to get a better look at what the job requires. The information on what a certain job requires could be found in the guidance office.

Erin Schierbrock said, "It is tough being with hi gh school students because they. always see m to be pushing us around o r j u t. co mpl aining to us about how crowded it is wi th the little junior highers." They are excited to be getting into the new junior high so that they won' t have to be crowded in the hi gh school. It will give them the freedom for having their own school. Tam.mi Honeywell said, "l think that there is a lot more room now that we have our own junior high." Some of the new fun activities that .,they get to do different from elementary are volleyball, basketball, football , track, cross country, wrestling and being able to have a choice oi' being in choir;, swing choir and jazz band. P.E. is a lot different from elementary, like having to dress out and getting a varitey of activities to do. It is different for the seventh graders to have eight different classes to go to with all different teachers fot each class. Katie Gaudian said, "I think that it is fun to have all the different classes so we can be with everyone."

They got their locker numbers and combinations and were given time to get their lockers organized. Then, they got their class schedules and were able to make changes on them throughout the first week of school. Before the middle school was finished and the high school was still being remodeled, the junior and senior high school students were all crowded into the same building. Since the rooms weren't all finished, all of Mr. Wiese's and one of Mrs. Harman's classes were on the stage. Being on the stage.may have affected some of the students' ability to learn. Some of the starting points for the freshmen were taking physical science and a history class. Another class that some of the freshmen take is Spanish. The seniors have more choices of what classes they are going to take. Many are taking college courses this year, some are needed for their profession. Several seniors who haven't decided on their profession are taking all of the college courses they can fit into their schedules. College c?urses the seniors and juniors can take include College Biology, College English, College Pre-Calculus, College Calculus, and College Trigonometry. "I think college classes help me get a good start for college," said Josh Zacharias. When the students came back from Christmas break and the middle school was finished, they had to start all over again. All of the students received new lockers and a new class schedule. They also had to get used to some new classrooms because of the moves some teachers made. At the beginning of February, the new computer lab in the middle school was finished. As a result, the high school students only had one computer lab to work in. The middle school has their own computer lab. It was much easier for them to find an available computer to use when they need it. Taking Spanish class is another starting point for students in all grades. Many colleges require a foreign language, either for a student to enter or graduate from their college.

(Pho to by Andrea Fischer. ) 70 @ Academics �ACADEMICS Pages by Andrea Fische1 • 1me Many activities require students to put in extra time and hours to achieve goals they have set. They strive to keep their lives organized, but often experience chaos trying to get everything completed. Music is an activity that students work hard at. During marching band season, instrumental and flag students brave the often cold temperatures at seven o'clock in the morning at least three mornings a week. Students auditioning for All-State Choir are here every other morning for rehearsals, also at seven o' clock. Small groups and solos practice before and after school February through their April contest. "There is not enough time during the school day to practice with every group, so early mornings are the only time we have left. If we didn ' t spend the extra time we could not be involved in as many musical events," said Clausen. Drill team members sometimes experience organized chaos because they are pressured to learn dances quickly o there will be a variety in their performances. The practice pays off because over time their movements become more accurate and precise. Speech team has several competitions during their January to March season. The month before are spent pickin 0 their speeches and practicing them to incorporate dramatic ski!Js. Speech coach Lori Higby helps them make their decisions about what material they will prepare for contest. Higby said, "Putting extra time and effort into Speech is important to success because practice makes perfect. Practicing is the only way you can learn the rules and techniques of Speech. You learn about Speech through practice, not watching." Not all extra time is spent on activitie . A lot of time is spent cracking the books and getting an education. Students spend a lot of extra time preparing for quizzes and tests and getting their homework assignments in. This is especia!Jy true for students taking college level classe . Students at Tri-Center can give credit for some of their success to natural talent, but if they were not devoted, they would not have wonderful results. They have proved they have what it takes to be dedicated. Tamara Wall ace, Kati e King and Sierra Schulenberg perfect a Drill Team dance. (Photo by Andrea Fischer.)

Extra Preparation Hours/Challenges ~ 71 �ACADEMICS Pages by Jon Killpack of pportunity Tri-Center is trying to help its graduates become successful in the world by offering classes that prepare them for the future. Some of these classes are vocational agriculture, sociology, health, speech, marketing, computer aided drafting, college english, family and consumer sciences, teen living, prinicples of technology and parenting. Vocational agriculture, VoAg, is taught by Kevin Matulka. In his class, they learn about livestock, crops and other agricultural topics. This year they also rebuilt a tractor. Computer aided drafting and principles of technology, also taught by Mr. Matulka, allows the students to use computers to make plans for buildings and machines. Lori Higby teaches speech class, where students learn how to speak in front of an audience. Parenting, family consumer sciences and teen living are all taught by Julie Wood. She said, "Parenting makes them (students) think about whether or not they are going to be parents. If they choose to have kids, it makes them a better parent." The class also teaches students how to care for their kids and how much money, persistence and time a child will take. In family consumer sciences, the students learn about things around the home such as cooking, cleaning and shopping. Teen living teaches the students about the new obstacles they are encountering, how to deal with stress and how to deal with their relationships. Marketing, taught by Glenda Kunze, is a class where you learn salesmanship. For example, the students developed a fake soft drink and tried to sell it. Ernie Abariotes' sociology class takes problems in the world and tries to figure out ways of solving them . Students learn about their health and the risks of drugs in Tami Harman 's health class. "We learned about our body and how drugs hurt us," said Jason Andrews. These classes and others will allow Tri-Center's youth to become better, more well-rounded adults.

In some classrooms, teachers put kids in small groups to work on their assignments together. Letting the kids work in groups saves the teacher from being asked a plethora of questions. When the students work together in their groups, they can learn from each other.. The students in the groups usually are not together during the rest of the day. This is one of the reasons that the students are allowed to work on their homework at the end of class. With this time the students are more likely to get their work done so they don' t have to take any home. In Algebra, Miss Higby has her students think of a group name, handshake, cheer and motto so they are an official group. She lets each group do a presentation of their name, handshake, cheer, and motto and lets them have some fun within their group. The groups are assigned according to the seating arrangement. There are usually groups of four that sit together. At the end of every class period, Miss Higby lets the students do their homework in groups. When it comes time to do a lab in foods class, the students are put in groups. The students first have to fill out a lab sheet that tells Mrs. Wood what th y are going to make, how they are going to make it and when they are going to do each step. The next day they start to cook as a group, which means that they all share the responsibility of making the food, and they all do an even amount of work to prepare their food. After they are finished, they are graded on how well their food tastes, how well they followed their lab plan and how well they worked together as a group. There was a CPR course taught in P.E. this year. After the students watched a movie and took notes, they practiced on the Annie's. There were four Annie's thi year, so the students got to pick which Annie they wanted to practice on. There was anywhere from two to four people at each Annie that helped each other practice. The students practiced the conscious choking on each other. This course is a good lesson to be taught in P.E. for future purposes. Danny Bloom and Nancy Koch cook in Foods class.

Group Learning ~ 75 �ACADEMICS Pages by Jennifer Stephens Qut for exploring Activities other than homework get the students excited to learn about their subjects. Parenting and VoAg even get to go on trips to learn more about the class they're taking. Students from English 10 made family trees. They had to go back to their great grandparents. Some of the names that their great grandparents had are still popular today. English 9 students explore outside the classroom with their timelines by exploring their family history. Miss Miller assigned this project to learn more about their history and it also has to do with the book they read, Night by Elie Wie~el. Michelle Hester said, "It was exciting to do the timelines because I got to look back at my past to find out new facts about my family that I didn 't know before. I also learned a lot about history and the different dates at which things occurred." English isn' t the only class that does different activities besides homework. Parenting also does some interesting things like visiting the hospital, taking home the baby and doing journals about their lives compared with other people. Susie Ring said, "I like to be able to talk about different things in class and give my own opinion. I have learned a lot more about the different forms of abortion that I didn' t know about before." In VoAg, there are many things done outside the classroom. Doing yields for crops, soil judging, planting, and driving their farm equipment to school are a few things they get to do. Jeremy Crozier said, "I think that it's good to do these activities so that we can make the school look better, and it gives some students a new experience that they might never get again." Students enjoy doing these activities for their classes so they can learn more about their subjects and still have fun. Ad venturous things can happen in class besides everyday homework for students.

Labs help students to better understand what is going on. Working with the hands is an everyday thing. Everyone does it and most students are in classes that involve using their hands. For instance, the College Biology class dissected cats for a project. In Yearbook class, the students work diligently on spreads'. They take the pictures, develop the film , print the pictures and crop them to fit the photo slot on the spread. Then, the students go to the computer and type the spread. Hands on learning is directly related to doing labs. Mr. Killpack's classes are two of the many classes a student has to go through in order to graduate. In order to pas his cla s, labs will be involved. In Physical Science, the students brought samples of food to class and tested each food to see if it had certain starches and sugars in it. David Gravert said, "I learned more by actually doing it rather than looking at it on paper." In Mr. Killpack's Biology class, the students made a DNA molecule and did a dichotomous key to find the correct insect in each bottle. Dan Bloom said, "Doing the dichotomous key helped me to understand what it was better. With him j ust tallcing, I didn't understand it that well ." In Physical Education, the students learned to do CPR. There are many steps involved,and they must be done in the correct order. The students must do a test on the Annie, or plastic dummy. This involves breathing into the Annie and doing compressions on its chest, or doing abdominal thrusts which involve pressing the abdominal area to force the object out of the airway. Key boardi ng and Computer Applications are other classes where the students are using their hands. In computer classes, hands are used the most. The student spends the entire period typing on the computer. Jessica Bennett and Aaron Harris mea ure the wall in Mi ss Hi gby's room for the mural in Graphic Arts class. (Photo by Tamara Wallace.)

Laughing, listening, screaming, crying, sleeping, or being alone. Where do all these acti vities come into play? The answer is simple, the bedroom. Bedrooms are more than just a place to crash after a long day or ni ght. They are an ope n canvas for personal expression.

Ever since she was little Lacey had wanted to visit the land down under. Lacey arrived in Australia on February 1 and stayed as a foreign exchange student for five months. She stayed with the Martin Fallow family in a suburb of Sydney. The hou se, that Lacey stayed in had a pool and many different fruit trees in the back yard. Lacey was also pleased to find out that she lived only minutes away from a mall. Lacey noticed many differences between Australia and the United States. Australi a's foo d is a lot different, Lacey met a person who had j ust tried Kool-Aid for the first time. Lacey also said she never ate so much fruit in her life. Lacey got to see "Ci nderella" at the Sydney Opera house. She attended a school for the performing arts and made the choir. Lacey also got the chance to meet up with her pen pal in Australia, whom she had been corresponding with for a long time. She also visited the outback and went canoeing.

A few students at Tri-Center take classes to learn about the art form and about respect and discipHne. Tae-Kwon-Do originated in Korea around the first century BC, and is sometimes compared to karate. After World War II, it went through a tremendous revival due to a national effort to instill patriotism and unity. It became mandatory in mjlitary training and was introduced into the schools. TaeKwon-Do has been growing in popularity ever since. There are five tennants, or themes, of Tae-Kwon-Do. They are respect, self-defense, self-control, integrity and per everance. All of these themes are focused on during a regular class. When class starts, all students Hne up in order of their belt color. The lowest color is white and the highest is black. The students bow to their teacher. This is a sign of respect, which is the whole purpose of Tae-Kwon-Do. Then, students spend the remainder of class learnjng kicks. They also learn free sparr, which is fighting with each other. They spend time learning correct terms for their movements. There are two flags hanging in the practice room. One is the American flag and one is the Korean flag. The upper left hand corner of the Korean flag is for the heavens. The upper ri ght hand corner is for fire . The lower left hand corner is for water and the lower right hand is for the earth. Tae-Kwon-Do al so teaches respect for all of these thjngs , as well a for other people. Sisters Kelly and Andrea Ring take classes at the American Legion Hall in Neola. Kelly Ring said, "I enjoy Tae-Kwon-Do because it has taught me about defending myself and has also helped my self-esteem. I am a lot more confident, and I set goals for myself now. Some of the goals are to improve at certain things in Tae-Kwon-Do, but usually they are outside of class for the rest of my Hfe." Tina Brisbois' favorite part of Tae-Kwon-Do is sparring. Brisbois said, "Sparring is fun because you get to fight with other people." Brisbois said the three T 's, time, temperature and tension, are also an important aspect of Tae-Kwon-Do. Time is putting in an extra effort to practice. Temperature is getting hot from working out, and tension is relieving stress through tills martial art form . Jaime Anderson said that she has learned selfindurance and respect. "I have more respect for the flags and for history," said Anderson. Tina Brisbois, Gavin Skow and Kelly Ring all attend Tae-Kwon-Do lessons at the same place. and they have the same instructor a well. (Photo by Andrea Fischer.)

Almost all students face stress everyday. For some it's the stress of the big game that night, but for others it '.s j ust the ta k of getting homework done every night. Jeff King said, "Schoolwork is stressful for me because sometimes I don 'r get ir done. " Adrienne Soppe said that homework is stressful for her because it takes up a lot of her time at night. Parents are something that many students find to be a major stressm: Tiffany Hester said, "My parents always put some kind of stress on me. " Deadlines to be met are also a burden to many students. For seniors it'.~ deadlines f or scholarships or essays. Yearbook and newspaper find deadlines to be troublesome, especially when stories are due or spreads. In a life full of chaos and confusion, stress is a normal occurrence in many students ' lives. MULTIFORMITY OF CREATURES By Mariah Wellman When you hear the word pet, do you think of man 's best friend the dog, a common cat or do you think of an exotic animal like a snake or a lizard? Kelly Ring is just one person at Tri-Center who thinks differently. She owns a green iguana that is three feet long now but is expected to grow up to eight feet long by the time it is fully grown. "Iguanas have razor sharp teeth and often bite when they are disturbed while shedding their ski n," Ring said. Her iguana's name is Chuquita and has a diet consisting much of what humans eat, fruits and vegetables, but they are not allowed to be fed junk food like pizza and hot dogs. Not only does Ring own an iguana, but she also owns two ferrets named Mayzie and Sammy. They can live up to ten years and lose their ability to smell when they are about a year old, but still have a smell to them . . Kell y Rin g's ferrets li ke to be held.

He is two feet long and eats vegg ies. He likes carrots the best. Iggy, the other one, eats bananas. He whips hi s tail hard and likes to fake bite. Not all students have exotic pets. Most ·tudents have dogs and cats, such as Michell e Hester. She has a Basset Hound named Boomer and a fis h named George. "I'd rather have a ' normal' pet than an 'exotic' pet because you know what to expect of them," Hester said. David Killpack has fi ve li zards. He has fo ur leaf-tailed gecos and one bearded dragon . They eat all ki nds of insects. "I don 't have many li zards ri ght now because I am getti ng ready to get more from Madagascar." Killpack is going to spend pait of the summer in Madagascar working w ith li zards. Many th r students al so own pets and some are as close as best fri ends.

Many team goals were achieved as well as individual ones. The team had success as a whole, but one team player achieved a special honor. On Monday, February 24, Cary Cochran broke the Iowa all time career scoring record. He broke the record in the first round district game against Saint Albert. A crowd of about 1500 watched as Cary sank a 19 foot jumper with 5:34 left in the fourth quarter. Cary led scoring with 27 points. The Trojans won the game 73-56. The sixteen year old record of Todd Berken pas, of Maple Valley, no longer stands in first place. Cary ended his high school scoring title with 2,650 points over four years compared to Berkenpas' 2,536 points. Cary 's record definitely came as a result of hard work and dedication to the sport. Cary will continue his basketball career at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln next year. Cochran takes a long three pointer during a regular season game with Underwood.

Tri-Center's41 seniors arrived by charter bus at Estes Park around noon on May 2. The seniors went to many different places and had many exciting adventures while they stayed in Estes Park. They spent two and a half days of relaxing and having the time of their lives. "Friday was kind of cold, but Saturday was about 65 degrees, and the rest of the time it was pretty warm," said Adam Ring. While at Estes Park, seniors visited the Stanley Hotel, where the movies "The Shinning," and parts of "Dumb and Dumber," were filmed. They also went swimming, golfing , shopping and climbing to the top of the mountain, Eagle Cliff. Brad Ring said, "I wasn ' t sure if I wanted to go on the trip, but I am glad I did because I had a fun time ju s t hanging around with my friend s." Kevin Dea and Jeremy Christiansen both agreed that their favorite part of the trip was the golfing. Memori es were made , s tori es wer shared , and te ar were shed as the 1996-97 senior class of Tri-Center High School co ncluded what may have been one of the greatest trips they have ever been on , and will ever go on together.

Awards Day also provides the faculty with an opportunity to show their humorous side. Mr. Abariotes gave out movie posters that reminded seniors of funny or memorable experiences in their life. All of the faculty and students gathered in the gym for Awards Day. A variety of awards were given to a large group of students. Teachers awarded trungs like the top grade point in the classroom or the hardest worker. Group awards were also given.

The office was packed full , trying to keep up with all of the class changes, registrations and lunch money. In each of their rooms, the teachers were preparing for their new classes. Everyone was forced to make the connection between last year and the new year. Many new faces were seen in the halls along with all the familiar ones. Some students connected with Griswold every day to learn Calculus. New coaches were in store for many of the sports. The organizations were ready for a new start.

'Jdeas Exchanged Communication is a simple word with one com mon meaning: to exchange information through a common system of symbols, signs, gestures or behavior. There are many ways students communicate in cl asses and outside of the c lassroo m. Whether they lelli-n English skills, Spanish or even learn to communicate with others through the ICN room, students learned to share their intelligence and ideas through these classes. Many students chose to take an optional language, Spanish, at Tri-Center. "I took Spanish to get it over with before college," Nick Troyer said. "It would be more fast paced in college than in hi gh school." Aaron Eckric h a lso agrees it is necessary to take a fo reign language. " You need to take at least two years of Spanis h to get into most co ll eges a nyway, " Eckrich said. "Why not take it now." Others have not and chose only to take English. Another me a ns of communication is through the ICN room. Students use the room for a jo int Calculu s class with Griswold high school. Gue st speakers also use the room along with students who passed the ASSET test. If they pas ed they could choose to take a number of classe befo re or after school fo r college credit.

Thj s way I find out things about other people just by being around them," Sarah Ring said. Interacting with others may help to broaden s tud e nt s' views on certajn things. "Group learning creates a variety of different things to do and it gives the students a chance to learn from each other rather than ju s t th e teacher," Mr. Elliott said. Confidence may also play an imoortant role durin g grouo learning. "I like know ing th at if [ need he lp there will be someone right there to help me out.

Along with romance, refinement and fantasy, prom gave students an opportunity to break down and just have fun. "Imagine." Many thjngs may come to mind from only hearing this one simple word. The junior class was in charge of making these thoughts come to life. Girls rushed to the tanrung salons as early as two months before prom to acquire a deep, dark bronze tan. Susie Ring said, "I tanned because "'lt was exciting and I didn ' t want to look like a girl from Iowa on prom njght." After the guys worked up the nerve to ask the girls out, or vice versa, tux deci sions were made. Many guys talked the girls into making these decisions for them. "I had to wait for my date to buy her dress so I would know which color and style to get," Aaron Harris said. Late January brought about many committee meetings. The week before prom brought about the most stress. "The kids having fun , and the memories created are well worth the stress and hassle," Mrs. Harman said.

It's Friday, the school week is over and it is time to relax. The weekends are the time when students and teachers relax and do what they please. There are a lot of things a person can do on the weekends. For instance, go to parties, ice skate, go to movies, go to a relative's house and go out with friends or a significant other. Levi McDaniel said, "I go target shooting at my grandma's house on the weekends "'J work during the week, and when the weekend comes, 'J use it as a time to relax and do whatever 'J want," said ~osh ~g. because she has a shooting range and it is one of my favorite things to do. " Another person who goes to his relative 's house is John Wilson. Wilson said, "I go to my dad 's house every weekend where I watch television and work on cars." Parties are also a big part of what students do on weekends. Most go to hang out with friends to have a good time. Some students do a little bit of everything on the weekends.

After high school many students move away and don' t see their family for weeks at a time. Once college comes it will be harder for some to be with their family. Families do many different things together from going on vacations, getting together for the holidays or spending time together. Chad Alexander said, "Our fami ly goes to Canada camping every summer and on some other vacation." "~y family is some- thing that 'l take for granted. 'l just expect that they will always be there for me," said 'Laura C§audian. Holidays are a time when families are spending time with each other. "On Christmas we go to our grandma's to celebrate with all of our family," Sarah Plambeck said. Just spending time together can be quality time. Regan Schroder said, "On Sundays we go to church and come home and eat dinner as a family." "Family to me is not just blood related, but people that care and love each other," Sara Wellman said. Family members can be people who are easy to console and confide in if there is a problem. "Whenever I need to talk about something, my mom is there to li sten," Sarah Shannon said.

They, in a different sort of way, shape the kind of person that students become. For instance, Doug Gibson and Jim Dermody said their past teachers are why they are where they are today. Gibson said, "I decided to become a teacher when. I was in fifth grade and it was basically because of the wonderful teachers I had. I chose to teach band because of the wonderful band director that I had." Dermody also was influenced by a past teacher. Dermody said, "The professor I had made me choose the subject area that I am in. He made something I didn ' t enjoy very much before enjoyable to me. He also showed me that I was able to enjoy it. The reason that I teach the grade level that I do is because I have a lot of younger nieces and nephews, and I wouldn ' t have the patience for it." There was a change in the atmosphere of where the teachers taught compared to last year. This year they didn ' t have to jump from classroom to classroom due to the addition of the middle school.

"I also have to take the ACT to prepare myself fo r college," Ross said. Josh Ring is beginning to think about colleges right now.

They don ' t get pick6d on as much as they did when they were freshmen . "I feel more powerful as a sophomore th an I did as a freshman, " said Austin McLandsborough. Many are just turning sixteen, wruch means they are now legal to drive. " Sometimes it gets me into trouble, so metimes it doesn ' t," Eric Benning said about driving. Jobs also become more important to sophomores. They need the money for going out with friends or on dates, to pay for their cars, gas and clothes. Mindy Felton mows the grass at the Neola cemetery. "I spend my money on clothes and shoes for school," Felton said. There are also down sides to having a job on weekdays. It cuts down on your free time. It is hard to participate in sports and maintain a job at the sa me time. There is also less time fo r academks.

The high school hall s tend to have more students, teachers and a lot more commotion. The first steps in the high schoo l can be quite scary for some. After being in eighth grade, the oldest ones in the building, and then coming and being the youngest is sometimes fri ghtening. "Being a freshman feels like you are starting all over from the beginning. One big change is the hallways that are very crowded," Peggy Bruck said. Hi gh school does have its advantages too. There are a wider variety of activitie fo r everyone. Acti vities that aren' t in middle school but are in high school are FFA and FHA. Jess ica Rugg les said, "Being in FFA is a good experience and fun , smce it wasn' t in the middle school." Sports activities in high school are a lot different. T here is a lot more time spent practicing and time spent in general. The season al o last longer in high school. Since the two schools are connected, it may not seem like there is that big of a change. Neil Cook said, "High school is a lot more fun because you have a lot more freedo m." High school does give students more independence. Amanda Wilson gets her books out of her locker as she prepares fo r a new day.

By: Kari Nelson As a child progresses through elementary school they may be anxious to advance to the middle school hoping others will no longer view them as little kids. However, they could be suprised by all the changes that await them in their new environment. "Being in the middle school has made me realize how much responsibility I have to have," Katy Toler said. The seventh and eighth graders look at it as a chance to be involved in extracurricular activites. "We are expected to buckle down on our studies so we can stay off the ineligible list," Tahni Roberts said. Along with responsibility comes trust. "As the students develop more tru st with their teachers they will be allowed more freedoms and in turn will get a better look at independence," Mr. Bellar said. The sixth graders get a greater sense of freedom. Jesse Kuhnle said, "We have our own lockers and get to move from class to class. We are also allowed to talk and discuss things to a greater extent which makes the classes more fun and exciting." Among sports are other activities such as band and choir. Being in band and chours at an early age helps the students be prepared for high school. "I like being in a chorus class where it is just us . It makes me feel more grown up," Kyle Welbourne said. "Band is also better. We get more one-on-one help. Both classes are very fun and exciting." 8th Grade Justi n Ashcraft Heidi Ausdemore Lisa Ausdemore Laura Bahrke Jeremy Barnes ~ .

By : Sara Dau M an y times during the year middle school students participate in fun activities such as dances. The organization of these events takes time and effort. The people behind it had to be organi zed and prepared. These people are the &tude nts' own peers. T he Leadership Academy, which takes pl ace at Iowa Western Community Co llege, has helped to prepare these young people to be better leaders and peers. At thi s camp, the students go to sess ions with group leaders and other tudents fro m diffe rent schools to di scuss acti vities they could do at their schools and how they can help students. They are spoken to by public leaders and peopl e who have made pos iti ve changes in their lives. Thi s year, the students who attended the camp were, Adam Harman, Jon Krohn , Eddie Leaders, Justin Nelson, Meli ssa Manhart, Sherri Greiner, A&hley Christensen, Courtney Divelbess, Erin Shierbrock, Amanda Gau, Allen Wor en and Schuyler Johnson. In order to be chosen to attend th e camp, the student had to submit an applicati on to Mr. Gibson, stating why they thought they should be chosen. Their goals were to have three dances and rai se money to fi x the track. They used the money they received from the admission from the dances to go toward the track. At the Febru ary dance, they collected canned food and gave it to the food pantry. They will also try to raise money by selling bumper tickers and t-shirts. T he reasons fo r thi s are to not only raise money, but to establish a middle school identity. Some of the money they raised went to a scholarship given to a gradµati ng seni or who was also a part of the leadership academy. "I learned to do more stuff with leader hip and on my own. I help more people in the classroo m in stead of sayi ng ' l don' t know,'" Adam Harman said. Students who attended the ca mp were involved in ma ny differe nt ac ti vi ti es.

On Nov. 20 through Nov. 23, 65 juniors and seniors left with six sponsors. They spent every day sightseeing and learning about the nation 's Capitol. After their arrival they visited Union Station and ate lunch there. Next was the U.S. Capitol, and the Vietnam and Jefferson Memorials. Only after all of this they checked into the Holiday Inn where they spent the next three nights. For dinner they ate at Shakey's, then they made a few splashes in the pool before they hit the sack. Pounding on doors was a reoccurring morning ritual from the sponsors between 6 and 7:30. On Friday, the TriCenter clan began the day by visiting Arlington National Cemetery and witnessing the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Lacey Donovan, Jon Killpack, Janet Bruck and Craig Handbury had the privilige of laying the wreath. After that they visited the National Cathedral, Embassy Row and finally lunch in the Ford's Theatre area. ~ M in iMag Lacey Donovan, Jon Killpack, Craig 1-l andbury and J an e t Bruck participate in the Wrea th Lay in g Ce re mony a t the Tomb o f the Unkow n Soldier.

(Photo by Sara Dau. ) Time Brings About Change By: Sara Dau Changes occur yearly. Students come and go. Teachers leave and new ones replace them. Sometimes this change occurs slowly and isn't recognized for many years. Karen Kay has been a secretary at Tri-Center for 25 years. Kay said, "One of the bi ggest changes is the use of computers." Kay started work at the junior high in Mi nden , running copies and typing tests for teachers who taught grades kindergarten through third and seventh and eighth grade. She also was the librarian and ran the lunch program. She can remember when they had a mimeograph, a hand cranked copy machine. One thing Kay said hasn' t changed are the students. She said, "Times have changed, but not the students. They still come from good families with good morals and values." Lee Killpack has taught through many changes. He has taught science classes at Tri-Center for 25 years. He has seen many advances in the science area. For example, he started teaching in what is now Miss Higby's room. It had one sink and he had to build the cupboard for storage space. Teaching techniques have not changed too much for Mr. Killpack. He said, "If something works I stick with it until it no longer works. I don ' t see a reason to change with every change that comes about. " Mr. Killpack likes to see the change in a student as he or she Kay has been working as a secretary at Tri-Center for matures over a few years. 25 years. (Photo by Sara Dau.) Silvia Knoener studies hard on learning the American By: Heath Lynn Gravert and Jonathan Eugene Killpack language . (Photo by Sara Dau.) Foreign exchange students have a rare opportunity that a lot of students don't have. That opportunity is the chance to explore another country and learn more about it. Two fo reign exchange students walked the halls of Tr-Center: Fanny Marchi set fro m Eastern France near Besacon, and Silvia Knoener from Germany. Marchiset said there are many differences between our countries. "In America, you can get your driver's license when you are 16. You have to be 18 to pet it in France," Marchiset said. The school systems are also different. Marchiset said there is more homework and it is harder in France. In France they have a long day, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with a one hour, 45 minute lunch break. They have different classes every day, each an hour in length. "We have different classes (in France). We don't have parenting, cooki ng, art, or other classes like that," Marchiset said. Cass ie Pay ne had sim.ilar views on the subj ect. Payne said, "I think it is good that they get the opportunity to come to a different country because I think it would be exciting." Knoener said one of the things that liked about America is where you can go to a Burger King or McDonald ' and get free refill s on pop. In Germany the fast food places do not offer free refill . Another thing that Knoener liked is the way American are friendly and ay hello to people they don ' t even know.

By: Kari Nelson �Future of Technology From megahertz to motherboards, these students are learning it all. Not a day goes by without a computer blessing students and faculty with its favorite word - "Error". A group of students with a love of computers have put their skills to use to benefit the school. With the help of Janet Anderson , the technology coordinator~ aides have a special time set aside for computer work. Aaron Harris, Josh Ring, Elizabeth Witt, and David Marshall all became tech aides for a different reason. "I saw how computers are bringing an incredible change in technology, and I wanted to be a part of that," said Ring. Harris decided to become one because he wanted more experience in programming. Marshall simply enjoys working with computers. Witt believes this will help her with her future career. Tech aides perform a variety of duties. Harris said he is a "microcomputer specialist," working mostly with the inside of a personal computer. Witt mostly installs programs, while Ring fixes problems in the computer labs. By: Lacey Donovan \ Volunteers Seek Duties It's called service with a smile, only without a paycheck. Some students have volunteered their time to do a certain job or belong to an organization that provides service to the community. Sadie Heimbaugh and Laci Leaders volunteer their time at Jennie Edmundson Hospital as candy stripers, or Teen Volunteers. This duty involves refilling patient's water, feeding people, wheeling patients to their cars, and many other duties. To become a candy striper, Leaders and Heimbaugh had to be interviewed, attend an orientation and go through a probational period. "It (volunteering) gives me experience in the field I want to go into and I can help people," said Leaders. Some organizations provide services to the community. Local youth groups sing carols to the senior citizens, participate in a 30-hour famine to help stop world hunger, organize fundraising meals for charity, and plant flowers in public areas. The organizations connect together, making a difference.

They practiced during school hours and they had early morning practices in April and May, to prepare for Small Group Contest. This involved full concert choir, the women's chorus and the men's chorus. Arla Clausen was the choir director and said it took a lot of practice and her accompani st, Linda Zimmerman, he lped out a lot. Nathan Hood said, "It is very challenging to make it to all the practi ces and be good at what you do. It is a lot of fun , and I enjoy it." Lori Piper was also in vo lved in the chorus program. She received three Division I awards. "I love music and chorus is very entertaining. Mrs. Clausen is a great teacher and I hope everyone will be ab le to reach their musical goals from the choru s class," Piper said.

For the cheerleaders, cheerleading can be a lot harder than it looks. It's more than just keeping a smile on their faces and doing all the right moves, it's pleasi ng the crowd. It's staying after school to practice, practice, practice. It also includes long bus rides to cheer for, a sometimes unresponsive, crowd, and for football cheerleaders, to cheer in the freezing cold. "When a crowd is really into the game, it makes all the hard work worth it," Heather Krohn said. Not only do the cheerleaders work during the specific season they cheer for, they al so work during the summer. For three days, TriCenter held a cheerleading camp for the three groups of cheerleaders. "I didn ' t know what to expect since it was my first year in a high school sport. After the season began I had a great time and ca n' t wait for next year," said Lesley Ring. S Organizations Laura Rin g, Jan e t Bruc k , Ra che l Will and Abry Leazenby cheer for the crowd .

FHA is not only involved in the community by Adopt-a-Highway, Crop wa lks and fu ndraisers, but also in education. Every year FHA sell s roses, carnations and balloons to raise money for a scholarshi p for a senior member. FFA is invo lved in Adopt-a-Highway also.

This year they really stressed the fundamentals of basketball, Knippelmeyer said.

The biggest change for the girls was offensively," Knippelmeyer said. Rebounds, shots, turnovers, assists, shots, steals and defensive stats are statistics the managers recorded. "Defensive stats were the most important. We worked really hard in allowing opponents only one shot down the court," Knippelmeyer said. . .

Goals are exactly what it takes to make it on the girls' track team. The 23 girls out for track spent up to seven hours a w ee k running , j umping hurdles and training for their tests , which would happen at each track meet. The girls opened the season with a track meet at Underwood, placing sixth . Thi s place did not disco urage runners , instead it ga ve the m a new goal. · "I think track is a great opportunity to prove to yourse lf how well you can do if you only put your mind to it. Since it was my se nior year, I wanted to do really well. I feel that I did the best that I could do and even though I wasn't the star of Rachel Hansen fli es over a hurdl e in the shuttl e hurdle relay. (Photo by Kari Nel son.) the team, I was proud of myself," said Amie Christiansen. "I thought we could have done a little better at Underwood, but there 's a Jot of talent on the team that will be very useful in the future," said Coach Dalton. There are many things that make up a track team and the track girls proved that they have got all of them by placing 10 out of 22 teams at districts . "Track was a whole new experience for me since this was my first year in high school. I was a little scared and intimidated but after the season got rolling I began to feel a lot more comfortable and started to enjoy myself a Jot more," said Amber Daringer.

(Pho to by Rachel Witt. ) It was the last day of school. Semester tests were taken, the final bell rang, lockers were cleaned out and finally the halls cleared out. The year was full of important connections that needed to be made. Students will be able to apply all their new knowledge, wherever they may be, next year. One major connection was made. On the senior's last day of school, they used one . skill they had practiced many times, but had never had to use. The whole school was forced to take cover in their tornado warning safety places. Mrs. Harman said, "We run a lot of drills and you never think you'll use them. When I walked around the school, I noticed the students knew this one was serious." Although many connections were made, there are still many to be obtained. Jennifer Stephe ns enjoys bowling on he r weeke nds ( Pho to by Rache l Win .)
