(Photo by Annie Pettit.) ~ howing off schoo l pride doesn ' t just mean cheering fo r the team. During Spirit Week it involved people going to all lengths to dress in unique costumes. Spirit Week started off with students seeing double on Twin Day. Tuesday was Opposite Gender Day, when they saw a lot of guys wearing their moms' clothing. "Revenge of the Nerds" took place on Wednesday. On Thursday, the halls looked like Avenue of the Stars as everyone from Maiilyn Monroe to Drew Carey emerged on Celebrity Day. Black and Gold Day ended the week as students showed their Trojan Pride. Students got their costumes at a variety of places to wear during Spirit Week. Some went to thrift shops while others made the m. "It i so metimes easier to make your cos tume because you can' t find what you ' re looking for anywhere else," Christal King said. The freshmen and sophomore classes tied for the most class participation in dressing up, cl ass skits and other pep rally events. "Since thi was my first year to participate, I thought it was really fun to dress up," Katie Gaudian said. Homecoming Week involved more than ju t dressing up . Tu esday ni ght the ten homecoming ca ndidates were auction ed off as slaves, alo ng with the junior and senior football j erseys, to help pay for the dance. Friday afternoon the pep rally took place outside the school for the first time in four years. Students witnessed the slaves singing and dancing. Some slaves also had to sit in a chair while their l uyer put eggs, chocolate puddi ng and many other food items in their hair. "The pep rally was more fun since it wa s outside and all the slave ' puni hment were di ffe re nt, " Katie Zellmer said. C la s skit were also performed with the junior class taking top honors with their own version of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. ,'Jf~ lrl t w. k 11tl 1? • ' �Homecoming King Jon Killpack and his brother Steve Killpack stand with Homecoming Queen Laura Gaudian and her sister Katie Gaudian, after the king and queen were crowned. (Photo by Lacey Donovan .) By Lindsey Lugsch }1omecoming is different every year. The music changes, the colors change and the people change. "This year the coronation was great," Katie Bowen sai d. The coronation consisted of a slide show foc using on Homecomjng Week, including photos of people dress ing up for the daily themes. There was a ceremoni al dance with the homeco ming court and th e presentation of the prince, princess, king and queen. The men in the homecorrung court wore black pants wi th white bl azers and carried canes. The women wore navy blue dresses with open backs. The theme for homecoming was "These Are the Days." The settin g of the coronation includ ed mu sic , darkness and spotlighting. The spotlighting was on the candidates when Arla Clausen and Tarru Harman recited their autob iographies. C lausen and Harman organized the coro nation along with the homecomi ng court. "Mrs. H arman and I wanted to make homecoming special and fun for all the kids," Clausen said. "The most enjoyable part about working on the coronation is the fina l product. The kids reall y appreciated it and got involved," she said. After the coronation, the dance started. Lauren McLand sborough said , "I went to the dance because all my fri ends were going and I thought it wou ld be fun! " Jessica Rugg les went to the dance because she knew it wou ld be fu n. "It's just tradition to go every year," she sa id. For many students who attended the dance, it was a ni ght to remember. 1. • 81 Student UFe "I felt LL~e CLV'vdereLL{il .

Contrary to many beliefs, Susie Petersen said it doesn't rai n that much in Seattle. She took th is pictu re of the space needle on a clear day during her vacation. (Photo provided by Susie Pete rsen.) Warm and stick y air, th e hummi ng of air conditioners, and the smell of sunscreen can only mean one thing - summer. During the three months of summer many students traveled, worked or just relaxed at home. " I stayed at home but I also went camping and fis hing a lot," said Justin Nelson. Other students went on the typical fa mily vacation. Jessica Ruggles drove with her family to Florida and then went on a crui se to the Bahamas. "My favorite part of the trip was going to Disney World," said Ruggl es . Malinda Willet, along with many other students, went to concerts over the summer. She went to Sweetsto k held at the Westfair Amphitheater. ·'My fav01ite band there was N' SYNC," said Willet. Many students go to camps over vacation to help them become better athletes or better vocalists. Laura Bahrke went to Creighton basketball camp. She said through drills and scrimmaging she became a better defense player. Lori Piper learn ed how to take better care of her voice and become an overall better singer at Northwest Missouri State University Music Camp of Excellence. Working was another way people spent their vacation. Allen Worden spent time delive1ing papers fo r The Dai ly Nonpariel. "I bought clothes and started a checking account with the money I earned on the paper route," Worden said. Although some stayed at home during their summer vacation, many took advantage of the freedom and did things they wouldn ' t be able to do if it was the school year. .1 Summer 11 --~- �Megan Barrier, Erin Schierbrock, Melissa Manhart and Amanda Gau hang out at Bellevue University after a weekend volleyball tournement.

To most, the 3:30 bell on Friday afternoon is a moment of relaxation, relief and freedom. At this moment, students are free to do as they please fo r· 65 hours. For some, work is in the schedule and for others, it is spending time with fa mily. Others may make pl ans to get together with friends and see movi es or go out for a " ni ght on the town." Brent Leaders said, "I see movies and go out to eat with my friends." Oftentimes, students fo und themselves in volved in school activ ities that preoccupied their weekends. Swing Choir competitions and Speech meets are just two of the many activities in which competitions fa ll on weekends. Adam Kramer participates in Swing Choir and Jazz Band, whkh both have weekend competitions. He j ust hopes that they can get home in time to do something on their own. Living in small towns can have its ups and down s. Many times students feel there isn' t enough to do. Students can often be seen leaving the small town and heading to a larger city in search of something to do. Christal King, Sarah Ring and Anne Kalamaja head to the Old Market on their weekends to hit the dance clubs. Kalamaja said, "It's a chance to meet new people from di fferent schools and see better looki ng guys." She also thinks it's a chance for students to have fun. A pos iti ve view on small town s is that it's easier to get to know everyone. Som e also feel it's easier to stay o ut of tro ubl e.

Sarah Ring is one person who likes to show who she is by the clothes she chooses to wear. Ring said, "I feel like I can be different and express my identity with clothi ng." Students have shown interest in the preppy style of clothing. Schuyler Johnson said some popular brand names are Tommy Hilfiger and Fubu. "The kids are getting more dressed up to come to school. I think Tri-Center students dress nicer on a daily basis," Johnson said. At the beginning of the school year, a popular style of clothing for girls was tank tops andj ean shorts. Cold weather brought the need for warmer clothing. Sweater were worn over collared shirts by guys and girls. Khakis and cargo pants were a preppy alternative to basic jean . When walking down the hal ls, the ou nd of Doc Marten boots could be heard. Doc Martens were extremely popular because of durabi lity. Ring said, "Everyone wants 'Docs' because they are a high quality shoe. They may be more expensive, but they are comfo rtable and last a long time." Hairstyles also took an interesting twist. Several girls cut their long hair to new, shorter styles. Kim Nieman was one girl who cut off her long hair. She said, "I have never had short hair. I thought it was cute and decided to try it myself." Nieman also said there are advantages and disadvantages to havi ng short hair. "Short hair is easy to care for, but long hair gives you more poss ibilities." The boys went for shorter hairstyles also. Johnson said most boys combed their hair forward and used gel. A countless number of guys wanted to have blond ambition, and bleached their hair a pale blond color. In general. the tudents of Tri-Center crave comfortable clothing. "If it's not comfortable, I won t wear it," Johnson said. ~ fas hi n/f~J �Tim Dalton marches in with the class of 1999 to the Tri-Center Band playing "Pomp and Circumstance." (Photo provided by Sara Dau.) By Ashley Fischer Thirteen years of education and numerous hours of activities will all come to a close in one short moment. The step from teenager to adu lt wi ll be taken arrd the seniors will enter "the real world." Before they could become graduates, each senior had to deal with the busiest year of high school they would ever know. Many spent their seni or year applying to colleges and completing scholarship applications. Others prepared to enter the workforce right away. Whatever decisions they made, it was taken in stride to prepare them for the next phase in their lives. Every senior approached these new experiences in their own way. Feelings of happiness and joy, as well as fear and anxiety were shared by many. "I was excited to graduate from high school, but also nervous of what might happen in the future," Cassie Payne said. Despite the vario us emotions , commencement ceremonies took place on Sunday, May 16. Superintendent Brett Nanninga welcomed the crowd and the seni ors. The ceremony was then hi gh)jghted by speeches given by honor seniors. The academic top fo ur included Valedictorian Ryan Jensen , Salutatorian Lacey Donovan, Chad Alexa nder and Jon Killpack. Each recalled their personal memories and tho ughts about the class of 1999. Variou s scho larships were awarded , and finally the diplomas were presented to the anxiou sly awaiting seniors. After the ceremony, the graduates were congratul ated by their families and friends. Many will always remember it as perhaps the fina l time their entire class was together. Graudation was an honored event the seniors had been anticipating through four years of hi gh schoo l. Memori es made on that day will be cherished for years to come .

Jen Stephens chose to tackle the monstrous task of selecting the perfect dress back in October for this reason. "I fig ured it would take me forever to find a good dress so I started looking early," Stephens said. Contrary to popular belief, girls were not the only ones to stay on top of the many pre-prom tasks. "I didn ' t know unti l about two weeks befor prom that I was going," Ju stin Nelson said. "But that still left me plenty of time to find a decent tux." In addition to the individual prepatory tasks of prom, pro m sponsors Lori Higby and Wendy Wellman di vided members of the j unior class into committees to make the preparation process go a li ttle smoother. Such com mittees included decorations, glasses, invitations, theme and song. These groups began holding meetings a month before prom and continued 1ight up unti l the night before.

When all the primping and preparing for prom was completed, it was finally time to get things rolling. After taking what seemed like a hundred pictures, everyone was ready to sit down, relax and e nj oy the meal. The salad was the first to be served, the n the meal of choice and last came the cheesecake . During the dessert, pro m gues ts were entertained by M r. Lee Killpack, the speaker of the night. After the dinner, the guests made their way to the gym where the Grand March was held. Directly fo llowing the Grand March was the dance, with the theme "M agic of the Mo me nt," ta ke n from a verse of th e so ng " Wind s o f Change" by the Scorpions. The dance was held from 9 p.m. until 12 a. m. Although prom has many similarities each year, every year has been unique. "I have been to prom all fo ur years, but each year 's a littl e differe nt," said Traci M inahan. Foll owing the dance, stude nts made their way to the middle school gy m to be checked into the post-prom party. After changing into comfortable street clothes, students were forced to wai t outside the gym doors while the junior parents made their fi ni shing touches on the gym.

Many athletes hope that playing in the off-season will add to their ath letic ability. A lot of students paiticipate in sports outside of school. Some deal with school-related sports while other sports are unassociated with school. Courtney Divelbess has taken gymnastics for nine years at the Artistic Academy in Council Bluffs. She took gymnastics three hours a day, five days a week. She has lea.med front flips and back flips and is learning to add twists to them for her floor routfoe. Di velbess said she has stuck with gymnastics because she likes the challenge. Being in gymnastics has brought her some awards. She was nominated for Iowa Gymnast of the Year. She also placed first in the all-around competitjon, whkh involves routines on bars, beam, floor and vault at six meets. Sports don't always involve just physical aspects. Gavin Skow said Tae Kwon Do involves physical and mental activites. "The more you take, the more you learn a lot of mental discipline. It helps you physically and keeps you in good shape," Skow said. Skow has taken Tae Kwon Do for 12 years. He attended practice from 7-10 p.m., four days a week at Cho Jjoke Set Ckwan in Underwood. He is a dan black belt, which is a econd degree black belt. He also became a khwaur wrang three years ago. A khwaur wrang is a step below being a master in Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do has brought Skow some awards. He has placed first in the national competition, second in internationals and he is a three time state champion. Tae Kwon Do doesn't take place at school, but other sports, like baseball, do. Swinging bats and throwing balls wasn't over in July for some members of the basebaU team. Fourteen players participated in a fall league in Omaha du1ing September and October. They scrimmaged again t teams from the Omaha and Council Bluffs area. This league wasn't divided into classes, so the team faced opponents from larger classes. Justin Tapp said he played on the teams to have more practice for the summer season. He hoped playing in the league would help hi s game improve. Some volleyball members also played in a league in the off-season. They participated in the United States of America Volleyball, USAV, in the 15 and under division and the 17 /18 and under division. Players had to go through a mini-tryout to make the teams composed of on ly Tri-Center players. They played in Bellevue, Omaha and Council Bluff almost every Sunday of January through April. They practiced for two hours on Sundays whenever they didn ' t have a game. Having a team with many younger players made it tough during their games in the 17/18 and under divi sion . Erin Obermeier said it was tough playing the older players because a lot of teams are composed of pl ayers who have already graduated and are going on to play at the next level. Many players hoped their skill s improved by playing on the USAV team . Obermeier said she hoped playing would help further her volleyball game. A lot of athletes feel participating in out-of·schoo l training will help give them the edge later on. �C!A:pLc:{'.s Love AYYOWS • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• By Aaron HaiTis Datino can be called the search for that certain person that excites and • b exhilirates life, whether it be a short puppy love or going steady with someone.

On some nights, when she i n' t bowling or teaching, she is a waitress/bartender for the Minden Bowling Alley. "I have to do something so I won ' t get bored and extra money is always good to have," Higby said. The opportunity to better herself by helping others is Mary Prewitt's motivation. She wants to expand the beliefs of Tri-Center students in community service. "It came with the job," Prewitt said about FHA/ FLA/ASTRA. She has a strong "belief' in community service. For 33 years, T. Gary White has coached basketball. For the last four years, White has coached the Missouri Valley girls' basketball team. He coaches because he totally enjoys it. "It's always fun to see people improve. With improvement comes success," White said. During the summer, White paints hou ses "everywhere."

With the departure of superintendent Ed Ra tovski and middle school principal Jay Bellar, two new addition were added to the staff: high school ptincipal Angela Hu eman and middle school principal Brian Wedemeyer. Huseman used to -teach English at Ballerd High School. She says the biggest change from being a teacher is not knowing how her day is going and not having a et schedule. "I came to Tri-Center because of the good lo- ~--... cation an.d I thought it would be a good place to start my career as a principal ," said Huseman. Wedemeyer used to teach and coach at CumberlandMassena. The biggest change for him was not being able to interact with the students as much. He can1e to TriCenter because it was a positive change. "I like the challenge and responsibility," Wedemeyer said. Some of the faces were familiar, but were found in new places. Former high school p1incipal Brett Nanninga became the new uperintendent. The biggest change for Nanninga has been the paperwork, meetings and diversity of the job. "I miss being among the student body," Nanninga said. He hopes to make Tri-Center more effective educationally and maintain the school 's standards of excellence.

As the last year flies by, members of the senior class have a lot to accomplish. Photos have to be taken, credits have to be counted and graduation parties have to be planned. "Being a senior is expensive," said Jason Andrews. Along with these responsibilities, the se nior are planning for the years to come.

The problem is getting it. Many juniors solved their cash flow problems by getting a job. Fifty-three percent of the students in the junior class had jobs. Many felt jobs were important for reasons other than making money. "My job helps me to be more organized, " said Eric Benning, who worked at the Edwards-O'Neil car dealership. After working hard for their money, many stl1dents spend it on things they want or need. Stacie Cross. who works at Kid·s Quest day care facility, spends her money on gas, food and other things she wants. Other students, like Heath Richards, who works with his stepdad doing lawn and yard work, saves some of his earnings. Although many juniors had jobs, some students are against it. "A job can cause stress with school activities and homework,'' Brandi Huddle said. Many students who didn ' t think jobs were important for a student, summed up their feeli ngs on the matter like Tiffany Gentleman, who said, "You' re only a kid once.'· Kristi Andersen Eric Be nning Eric Boos Amber Dau Tara Dickey Aaron Eckric h in ner\irne We\\ll\an pu\S e p..&V'J rill tJlan~n \as\ \ood a\ tn b'/ I rac'/ cool<-1n9 d (_Pnoto and r:oo . \(osrnaceK.) .

As their car speeds down the highway, they try to come up with an excuse for being late. Many sophomores began to get a curfew as they turned a ce1tain age. ''I began to get a curfew of J 1 p.m . when I turned 16,"-Dawn Andrews said. Some parents didn't give their child a curfew. "My mom and dad know I won't do anything really dumb, but I don't think we should be out so late," Jennifer Cleveng~r said. Even though she doesn't have a curfew, Clevenger still supports them. Brandon Finken also said curfews are needed. "I think we should have a curfew because it keeps us out of trouble," Finken said. "I usually don't have a curfew. It just depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing." Finken first received a curfew in junior hjgb. Some students do believe they should have a curfew, because they know it will cause less di stress on the weekends, even if it does mean speeding home to make the cw-few that has been set for them.

"Homework makes me feel stressed," Amber Hunt said. Other factors may also be peer pressure, running late or not being organized. Stress can be doubled throughout the years. "In elementary, I thought teachers were most stressful. Now I look at it being nothing," Tessa Wellman said. Many people feel it will get harder as they get older. "School will be most stressful," Jenni.fer. Troyer said. Even though thing s will get more difficult throughout her life, she said she will get through it because she will be more mature.

Making ANaM1 for Th1M11Iv11 •• ••• •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• By Andrea Fischer Making the transition from e le mentary to middle ~chool is a big p1iority for the sixth graders. "Sixth grade is the year we try to prepare~the students for junior high," Mr. Jarrett, one of three sixth grade teachers, said. Sixth grade students are prepared for junior high in ma ny ways . During the course of one day they change classrooms and teachers about fom times. Jarrett said the sixth graders do not run on the bell system along with the seventh and eighth graders, except during eighth period. "During eighth period the students are dismissed with the bell and go to an art, comp uter or physical education class," Jarrett said. Although sixth graders are in the same building as the o lde r students, the teachers ge nera lly try to keep them !:>eparated. Sixth graders still walk in the hallways with their teachers while the seve nth and e ighth graders have more freedom in the hall s. Seventh grade is another step up from sixth grade. Mike Kalamaja said , "I think we get more privileges than sixth graders. We are all owed to talk more during class and work in groups." Ka lamaja also be li eves seve nth graders receive more daily I omework. Thi s he lps the m prepare for high school and gets them in to a pattern of studying every night. Having eight clas periods a day helps seventh graders k'am where all of the classrooms are so they will not get lost in high sc hoo l. " We get to switch c lasses alon g with the high ~c hoo l e rs all day long. Thi s is fun because we a.re taught by . e eral teac hers," Kalamaja sa id. Tessa Wellman sa id eighth grade is a good preparation >r high school. "Ri ght now I think you could call us eighth ·raders coc ky because we are enj oyi ng being the oldest students in the midd le school, but we know we wi ll be the younge t next car as freshmen," We llman said. Eig hth g raders a nti c ip ate hi g h sc hoo l and th e ne w cx periences it wi ll bring. Wellman said, "We look forward to things like the Variety Show and the bi g hi gh school pep ra llies."

Unlimited Opportunities By Ashley Fischer College choices, job possibilities and future selections may seem overwhelming to many students. Dec isions made whi le still in hjgh school will affect the rest of a student 's li fe. It is important to explore all available options to be able to make an informed decision when th e time comes. "Students need to start preparing for the future at a yo ung age. That way, by the time they become seniors, they feel confident enough to make those big decision s," Mrs. Harman sa id. Several meas ures can be taken to prepare for what li es ahead. "I instruct my students to enhance their success by using the STAR format." That is S-situation, T-task, A-action , and Rresult. "This can benefit them in making their dec isions," Mrs. Prewitt said. There are many sk ill s a stude nt mu st hav e to be successfu l in the modern world. "Organi zati o n, com munication and academic sk ills are among the most important a hjgh school student can acquire," Harm an sai d . A student can ensure they are prepared fo r the future by taking adva ntage of the know ledge they are rece ivin g . "A lways be aware of your academic record and your level of study skills. They wi ll help yo u later in life," Harman sa id. Preparing for the fut ure is a demandin g process nl) one can do alone. Peop le are willing to help if o ne is wi ll in g to acknowledge it.

' I Challenge Time By Kati e Welbourne To most students, a challenge is something that is hard to accomplish or overcome. "A challenge is something that makes a person stronger," Justin Tapp said. To other people, it's j ust a part of life. Classes such as P.E., biology, chemi stry and math are d ifficult for many students. "A challenge is good because a person can get things d ne," Zach Bowen said. Bowen said without obstacles, people wouldn' t be able to make or reach their goals. To many, expectations can al so be harmful. "Some haJ lenges I have cause stress," Eli zabeth Witt said. Witt said this only happens when the challenges are harder to overcome than expected. "Science is most difficult for me," Joe Brunow said. Brunow said thi s class was most difficult because there is a lot of information covered and students are expected to know it. Even though most studnts think of P.E. as a kick back, easy "A" class, there are so me hurdles th at a perso n must overcome in over to receive that "A". Archery was one unit considered difficult for some students. "Archery was difficult because the target was so small and the bow weren' t always working right," Josh Kohl said. Kohl said if th bows were worki ng well all the time he would have b en more precise. Eddie Leaders tries to put his bow together as Joey Kosmacek watches.

Teamwork To Learn By Katie Morse S tudents may or may not benefit fro m learning in groups, but some teac hers be lieve it is a good way to teach students and have them learn fro m peers. Biology and sc ience students work together in lab groups. r. Ki llpack said thi s all ows students to work, pl an and analyze problems together. "Learning together may make it easier fo r some students because they hear di ffe rent ideas and ways of doing things," Killpack said. Tea mwo rk is a word so me used to describe learnin g together. Mrs. Prew itt said there are careers out there that use teamwork, so working in groups also benefi ts students for later on i11 life. Prew itt also agrees th at it may make it eas ier fo r students, and also adds that it makes it eas ier fo r teachers. "The students see what others are doing right and wrong and learn from it, and I have an easier time teaching because when it comes to food and sewing, there isn' t much time," Prewitt said. Students fi nd that leamj ng this way is helpful to them fo r various reasons. College Biology students like Christine Matter also said learning together helps her if she doesn' t know something. "If I don' t know somethi ng, usually the other person jn my lab does and can help me out," Matter said. Some students attend classes where they usually work in groups of two or three, Like Parenting class. They visit the ki ndergarten and observe them as a part of cla s. Sometimes problems may result fro m group learning. "Better students will som times do all the work and others are prone to let the good students do everything," Killpack said .

Whether it's working with a sew ing machine, gathering around a Bunsen burner or maki ng a birdhouse out of wood, many teachers find hands-on learning to be one of the more effi cient methods of teaching. "I find science labs give students another dimension to learn fro m," said Mr. Killpa'ck. "I beli eve it is an improvement from tradi ti o nal text book learning." Killpack is known fo r his many ex periments du ring class. Such experiments have been testing solu tions to see if they are acidi c or basic, calculati ng the momentum and speed of di ffere ntly-sized toy cars and the favorite of many, dissecting. In addition to the belief of many teachers that hands-on learning is a good addition to regular text book learning, many students share thi s opinion as well . Peggy Bruck finds art projects useful to help her visuali ze what he is learning. "T he hands-on activities we do in art help me shape things better," she sai d. E ri c Sun tke n also fin ds hands-o n learning to be a beneficial method of teaching. "It really helps you interact with the subject to improve your under tand ing of it," he said.

"We knew we could play with any of the other conference teams, but we also knew we would have to work around young, inexperienced pitching in the beginning," first-year head coach Jim Dermody said. The team proved from the first game they would be able to hit the baJI hard and score. Brandon Finken said, "Our bi g strength was our hitting power. Everyone in our lineup was hitting fo r average." Inexperienced pitching was not a hard obstacle for the team to overco me . As the seaso n progressed, the pitching became stronger and several players stepped up their performance. Aaron Eckrich , Aaron Petersen, Finken, Jesse Baldwin and Rusty Smith all gain ed time on the mound . Many ga me s were mem ora bl e to the playe rs L "I will never forget the conference championship we played in Mi ssouri Vall ey. Beating Missouri Vall ey on thei r own field 10-4 was excitin g because no one had beat them in \'eraJ years," Finken said . Dermody credited much of the success of the team to senior leadership. "We had Ryan Ausdemore, Jay McDonald, Matt Preuss, Glen Cook, Brad Guill and Chri s Hester as seniors who were an honor to coach. These six guys kept the you nger players focused and driven," Dermody sai d. "The seni ors pushed us because they wanted to be the best, but they wanted us to do our best too," Bryan Lefeber said. Thi s foc us took the team to the di strict champi onshi p where they were beaten by an eventual state qualifi er, St. Albert, in nine innings.

(Photo by Tracy Kosmacek.) r ---------------------------------------~ By Tracy Kosmacek H ard work, long hours and dedication are all vital ualities a Trojan wrestler must display to compete throughout the year. Every wrestler had a set of goals that they worked to achieve. Some goals were high and others were basic. It was all based on what each wrestler believed they could reach. Justin Gunderson's goals were to have a winning record and to get ten or more pins. He also wanted to win districts and have a good showing at the state meet. "I wanted to wrestle as hard as I could to obtain my goals and to make the team look better because of my efforts," Gunderson said. Wrestling is known to be an individual sport, but the team aspect is also important. "Numbers were a huge benefit for the team being a success," Eric Suntken said. Twenty-two wrestlers were part of the team this year. Two wrestlers were one step from advancing to the state meet at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines . Heath Richards finished second place at sectionals and wrestled in districts, finishing with third place. Justin Ring placed third at sectionals, but because of a wrestler getting sick he was able to be bumped up. Coach Rhett Barrett was pleased with the overall wrestling by his team. Barrett said, "I was glad to see the hard work the guys put in to compete at their best." The wrestling team finished dual meets at an even mark. Then the wrestlers began to work hard for next year. Eric Boos said, "I wasn ' t too happy with my performances, so I'm going to work hard so I can go to State next year."

"I shot a th~ee and then got fouled and then I shot a freethrow and made it," Larsen said. Along with memories , observations during the sea on were also made. "W.e were more focused thi s year," Joe Petti t said about the junior varsity team. Pettit's major goal was to win more games than they did last year. Being focu sed is what helped the team , Pettit said. "There is just not one go-to guy.

(Photo by Amanda Wilson.) r ---------------------------------------~ By Amanda Wilson Change is a common and everyday occurrence. The girls' basketball team had to face many changes over the course of the season, and they met these challenges head-on. - Once again, the girls experienced new coaches. Head Coach John Daley and Assistant Coach Dan Elliott took their places by the team. "Daley's coaching style was different than we 've ever had," Kaylee Dollen said. Daley agrees with Dollen. He said it took a long time fo r the girls to get adjusted, but they became more familiar with hi s style over time. One main improvement the gi rls had was dribbling, Dollen said. They spent a lot of time practicing this and other basic skill s. The girls' record was 3-16. "We didn ' t win too much, but we learned a lot and improved as we went," Shari Greiner said. Even with the change of coaches, Dollen said the team became close over the course of the season. Before each of the home games, the girls would eat dinner at one of the player's houses. New uniforms were also a welcomed change for the basketball team. The Athletic Booster Club bought the girls new home uniforms, so the old ones went to the junior varsity team. As the girls adapted to the change in coaches, players and uniforms, Daley believed they took the knowledge attained during the season, and improved their play. He also believed the girls could achieve great things if they played to the potential they now have. ~ ---------------------------------------~ JUN/OR VARS Laura Bah /Ty F=ront· J Darin rke, Mand . ennifer Ct Elliott g:~ and Alyssa B~beDarrington eAvenger, M , ennaW; ih .Bak· , mber Fi:c~andsborou;h ~Cassie ln~o~:;oach Dan ' ara We11 o, Lauren Manager, Katie Gaudfa man A Stud · er Kelly Shr n, Shari G '.

The purchase of new uniforms started the Jam Connection eason off well. A new look and feel was needed. "The new uniforms feel more comfortable than the other ones, and they are cute," Jodi Schuning said. Money for these new uniforms came from a dance camp for elementary students on Dec. 12 and the Athletic Booster Club. Jam Connection members put in a lot of hard work for their performances. They practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8 a.m. These practices got them ready for performances during halftime of the boys' basketball games and State Drill Team Contest held in Des Moines. Dancing in Des Moines was the most memorable and fun time of the year for most of the drill team members, and it shone through during the performance. The team received a Division I rating while in Des Moines, bettering past outcomes. In addition to State Marching B and at Lewis Central, competitions at Clarinda and Glenwood filled up the Satin Knights' chedule. They not only practiced in the mornings, but also during first hour. "We worked hard and seemed to care more about how we did," Kristi Andersen said. The biggest accomplishment, Andersen said, was getting first place in both the parade and field performance at Clarinda. This was a big achievement for the Satin Knights for many reasons. "The routine was harder and more upbeat, there were more people to train which made the competitions more challenging," Rhonda Christiansen said. Students who were involved in either of these organizations knew that through hard work and dedication they could achieve any of their goals. Christiansen said, "If you're good at it and know your routines, you feel a sense of pride." Laura Zellmer, Amanda Gau and Sarah Ring perform to the song "Tribal Dance." (Photo by Amanda Wilson.)

Christal King describes herself as outgoing. King said, "I dare to be different." King has a tattoo and a nose ring. She got her tattoo at American Tattoo and pierced her own nose. She regrets piercing her nose becau e, "I didn't think people would judge me the way they did . They looked at me like I was a freak. With the tattoo , no one can see it but it i there forever."

Not only on the outside but on the inside too. It (individuality) is what makes a perosn unique. If we all had the sames personalities, the world would be boring." Self-confidence is needed to stand out among peers. Cross said, "I feel like more of a leader than a follower. I have the confidence to act, look and dress how I want to. Like most things though , individualty is a hard thing to have. To stand up for what you believe in alone is hard, especially when there are so m a ny people with different thoughts and judgements around you. But when your individuality is finally accepted, it feel s as though the whole world has accepted you with open arms, just for who you are." �Tl.e Neola Tire C<Hrlpa ny gives tl.e ir ex p e rtise and services lo Neola a n d surrounding communities a nd als o s ponsors tl•e Trojan yearl.ook.

Although many believed that the new school year came too soon and frantically flipped through the calendar to recall how it passed them by and the memories made, this would be a chance for a fresh start, making new friends and trying a new activity. This feeling was evident on the first day of the i999-2000 school year as students decorated their lockers and caught up with the friends they hadn't seen as much as they would've liked to during the summer. Even though many deny it, several students looked forward to a new year filled with memories, hardships, challenges but above all, fun. These a re the things students thrive on. �After practice upon practice, Katie Morse gets a chance to prove her diligence has paid off and improved her ability to spike and intimidate any defender.

At no other time in life are all the friends, teachers, memories and experiences right there to grab onto. It is at this point in life when only today matters and yesterday is gone. Tomorrow and whatever it may bring is too far away to deal with. Everything that is important right now only happens today. This fa why every part of a student's life is so meaningful in their individual lives. Whatever the magnitude of the circumstance, everything a student is involved in affects them deeply. They might not realize it now, but it will all show up in the big picture. Now is the time to prepare for this and all that lies ahead. Taking all this in can make life seem severely confusing. As anything always does, a student's life works itself out the way it is meant to be. Students must always remember, live today before tomorrow is gone. �Brend a Koch an d Ka ti e Ga udian dressed as Lady T roja n sport s fans fo r Twin Day.

It's chilly now , but Mr. Weather Guy claims it' ll be 70 by thi s afternoon . What should I wear--pants or shorts? A short-sleeved shirt or a longsleeved shirt? Numerou s students came up with a simple solution to thi s problem. "Wear both," Latia Hubbard said with a shrug. No. Hubbard ' s not advi si ng students to double up on their layers of clothing-she' s merely referring to what seemed to be one of the biggest fas hion trends (not to mention the most popular fraction!) of the year--three-fourths everything. Christina Clevenger jumped on the three-fourths bandwagon for the sake of • F AOS comfort. "You can also wear capris (calf-length pants) and three-four ths sleeved shirts with almost anything," she added. Another trend was the brand Lucky. At about $70, even one pair of the jeans was a maj or splurge for many students. However, students who wear their jeans Lucky praise the many style options the brand offers. 'They might have been expensive," Amber Daringer said of her favori te pair of jeans, "but at least I know they ' ll be in style a long time." Will next year yield more of the same fashio ns?

With such activities as the Spirit of Washington dinner and dance cruise (left) , hanging out in Georgetown and the bus rides with Lenny, the trusty busdriver, and Beth, the tour guide, this is an easy concept to understand.

"It would be nice if it started in 2000, because that's the year I graduate," she said. Despite students' opinions on when the millenn ium actually beg ins/began , they sti ll kne w how to have fun.

The other new rule is that students can only carry backpacks that are clear and see-through . "It's been a concern . Teachers didn't like the backpacks in class. Students have the choice of wearing clear backpacks if they choose. It's a matter of safety and peace of mind ," Mrs. Huseman said.

The answer lies within each of the students at TriCenter. When all of these e lements combine, they form something much greater than any individual. When all these characteristics are meshed together, the result is ultimately the best: the student body of Tri-Center. Every person, whatever age or status, has their individual place in the whole. Whether they contribute all or one of the parts, the result is something great. All this is what being a Trojan is all about.

New staff members, new school policies, new rules and new restrictions were often added to their teaching methods. Two of the biggest changes for the teachers were the addition of the employab"lity skills and the banning of backpacks that weren't clear. These affected the style of teaching for the teacher and the way a student learns. "It's going to take time and effort to change and adapt to this style of teaching, " Dan Elliott said .

It took everyone a while to find thei r way around, but by the end of the first semester all the freshm en made friends within the high school. They were able to maneuver to each class with ease. Lindsey Obermeier said, "You have more responsibilites in high school and you're treated differently by teachers and other students." As freshmen came into high school they were able to be involved in new activities like student council, ASTRA and FCA. The freshmen probably thought that they would never want to be freshmen ever again but they will look back later in life and realize how much fun they had and how many new friends they made in one year of school.

By Cou rtney Divelbess "Mom, everybody else's parents let them stay out until midnight!!!" Sound fami liar? Many middle school students faced the same problems. As pre-teens and teenagers, students want to be able to spend more time with friends and away from their parents . Jessica Myers agreed that in middle school, friends become more important. "My parents don't want me to grow up too fast,'' she said. An important part of growing up is handling more responsibility. Having middle school as a stepping stone between elementary and high school can help students to do this. Mr. Wedemeyer said the transition adds more rosponsibility and helps students to mature. Most students didn't enjoy the added homework load, but many realized t11at it was important. "I don't like homework but I know that I'll have even more to manage in high school," said John Zellmer. Besides receiving more privileges in their free time, students also had more freedom in school. Students were given freedoms such as having lockers, switching teachers and going from class to class independently rather than in lines. Students were allowed to begin choosing their own classes. They we re offered a choice between Pre-Algebra and Math 7 when they entered the seventh grade. For some students , their choice depended on their math skills hut for others the decision was based on the time they had to do homework and future career goals. " hau,, A. VDuey J. football C.

Knowledge Gained, Future In Check ~-,-·· c 52 ~ Academics By Ashley Fischer How valuable is an education? Does this really need to be learned? How will this ever be used in life? All these questions are easy to ask and hard to answer. When learning new things that seem difficult, it is easy to complain about it. What is hard to realize is the knowledge being gained will be useful both now and in the future. All these things being learned will affect a student in some way. It might not be now, or a year from now, but at sometime it will. That is why it is so important to gain all the knowledge right now, while all the help and resources are available. Keep in mind all teachers ar~ here to help, not to bring hardships. This is one of the reasons they chose the teac hing profession. They want to help with all their students' futures as much as anyone w ants to accept their help. �Nicole Pauley, Lindsey Obermeier and Marie Corrin use their study time to work on homework.

The decisions they make can affect the rest of their lives. Some students may feel their decisions are too far away to be worried about now. "I'm not very worried about my future yet, I still have a few years of high school left," Kelsey Miller said . "Sequential courses are designed to keep students moving upward in areas of math, science, English, Foreign Language and vocational classes. College courses also help to prepare," Mrs. Harman said. Although it may not seem like it, classes and extracurricular activities help a student learn skills that are vital to suNive in today's fast paced world. Another insight to helping students prepare is employability skills. It is a process that teaches students ski lls that make them more productive in the workforce . Although administration believes this new policy will benefit, students feel differently on some aspects. No matter how long it may be before students are confronted with these questions they will always exist and the best way to make the right decision is to prepare. good job of helping us pre pare ." -Cassie lncontro Mr. Nanninga and Mr. Cochran enjoy a breakfast made by Adam Harman and Brenda Koch for their Foods test.

Students involved in after school activities and sports have even more pressures put on them . For example, they have to go to practices and games after school. They also have no time to talk to friends. Those students go home from practices or games and do homework and then go to bed . Latia Hubbard said, "A challenge for me is trying to keep up with school work and "My b iggest cha llange is Publications c lass because it takes extra time com pared to other classes a nd ifs stuff you c an't do at home." -Sara Plambeck have fun with my friends at the same time." Students with jobs try to balance their social life and work so that they can make money and keep friends at the same time . Other students have a job but never worry about balancing their time with friends and work and have no time for their school work. Ashley Christiansen said, "I wish I didn't have to go to school and then go to work so that I could have more fun and a larger social life." Even though a challenge may make a student frustrated they are better off and more ready to face the real world.

There is usually one class every day in which a student gets an opportunity to learn as a group about a topic . There, they discuss and come up with answers the whole group agrees upon. Each student then usually hands in a paper of their own with the group answers. Students usually enjoy this because it gives them a chance to socialize and learn at the sam~ time. Angela Krohn said, "(Group Learn- ing) broadens your knowledge and gives good ideas to the students." Teachers use groups to prepare the students for working in the work force. "It gives them good p ractice to be a team player, and in the work force, team work is required, " Cassie Keogh said. Many people also think it is easier to learn in a group ratherthan alone. "By working in a group, you get other people's opinions and you also get to develop better imaginations," Krohn said.

For many students the school day didn't end at 3:30. It extended far into the night and early in the morning. Befd"re school was the busiest time for last minute c ramming . Tables were packed with students frantically trying to get that last answer done before the bell rings. Some students stayed after and did their hom ework so they could go home and relax instead of worrying about hom ework. Mr. Stafford thought this could be easily accomplished and there was a simple solution. "Block scheduling would a llow students to walk o ut the door at the end of the d ay without a b ook in their hands," sa id Stafford .

Students are also able to do things handson in Industrial Arts classes. "In shop we help make props for special events such as steps for prom," said Marty Overgaard. In such classes as Chemistry, Biology, College Biology and Physical Science, experiments are used to help students get a closer look at what they are learning.

Defining A Student Body - 66 /:!f' By Ashley Fischer How does a student find who they are while still in the teenage years? A good way to start the search is through the organizations in whic h a student p ar• takes. It is through these organiz ations that a school and an entire student body a re defined. It might be cheering on the athletes or dancing for the half· tinie crowd. It could be working to better oneself and the s c hool through community service for ASTRA. S tudent C ouncil or National Honor Society. Or maybe it is entertaining the audience during a music concert or the s c hool play. Whatever they are doing, students expr e ss themselves through the organiza· tions they choo se to participate. With so m a n y o p tions a vailable, it is no surprise students c a n experie n ce a ll t he joy th-at happens throu gh an organizatio n. Becoming close to the o th· e r s in the group and by reaching f or a c o mmon g oal, student s knew what it felt like to be a contrib ution to a valid part of the student society.

FFA/ASIBA . fiaking Chan9e5 for .... the rurure By Susie Petersen With many changes and new projects, ASTRA and FFA rose to new heights. ASTRA, a community service organization for young people grades sixth through twelfth, was advised by Mary Prewitt. With her strong feelings about volunteerism, she believed that she was putting her belief, "doing for others makes you a better person," into practice. FFA was an organization that dealt with "anything and Eric Boos shows off his riding skills at the Farm Progress Show in Amana. (Photo courtesy of Kevin Matulka.)

Kevin Matulka, the adviser, said, "FFA is more or less an extension of the agriculture clas~es I teach." He said although the agriculture classes tied in directly with FFA activities, the FFA members received more hands-on experience.

They blamed their tiredness on things like phone calls or homework. The newest excuse for some of the Parenting students was the "Baby Think It Over." The "Baby Think It Over" is a life-sized doll with a small computer in its back. (pictured below) The Parenting class acquired these dolls from Jennie Edmundson Hospital and the Iowa State Medical Alliance. ''They gave us four new dolls and four new carseats because we were one of two schools in the area that requires Parenting for graduation ," Mary Prewitt, the Parenting teacher, said. Before students could take their "baby" home, Prewitt had to turn on the computer in the back of each doll. The com puter recorded how many minutes the doll cried , the number of times it was handled roughly, how many times it was neglected and the number of times the doll's head was not su orted. "My baby cried too much computer out of its back. I prot5ably got docked a few points for that." - Joe Mefford Bundleoj( ? oy I Students did not shy away from no rmal activities while being a "parent." Some students took thei r "babies" with them to practices , out to eat , to basketbal l games and even to work with them . "Some students even dresse d th eir babi es up in clothes ," Prewitt said. Some of the students had another surpri se in store fo r them when they returned home with their new "babies."

Who else could help out the secretaries and librarian when they're under pressure? Mr. Stafford said , "Without the library girls I would fall so far behind, I'd never catch up." They had some fu n with their work too. Stafford said, "They make sure I'm not too old fashioned." The library aides helped with the middle school classes , put away books, movies and magazines, ran errands , did research for the library and cleaned up. The office aides also kept the secretaries from falling behind . Amber Dau was found busily clean ing out the desk and running copies. They also file documents and collect attendance. The office aides had their fun too. "I enjoy it because it's a lot of fun talking to Mrs. Kay and everyone else who comes in ," said Heidi Ausdemore. "I like being a teacher's aide learn . They also look up to you." -Li sa Ausdemore 84 ~Student Life Mini-Mag Teachers were often frustrated from late and missing assignments, grading excess amounts of papers and every other thing that could and did go wrong . It's likely many of them felt like pulling out their hair with all that stress, but luckily some willing volunteers offered to sacrifice their study halls to keep hair loss down. Why did they volunteer? Jennifer Ruckman said , "I enjoy working with younger kids." Mrs. Harman reported th at teachers had come in to tell her how helpful teacher aides were and how they had changed students' lives. Mrs. Harman said , "If students aren't using the study hall it's better to use it to change someone's life ." It also required some work. "I help get the kids ready to go home , check papers and do whatever she (Mrs . Schueman) needs," said Ruckman . Being a teacher's aide may have requi red work but in the end it was worth bri nging a smile to the kids' and maybe even the teacher's face . �{;;0 1\16 FiSWil\J Many students who are avid sportsmen don't participate in sports at school. They would rather spend their time fishing or hunting, which aren't sports offered in a school environment. Why did they choose hunting and fishing over school activities? The reason for Brian Nelson is because his dad took him fishing and hunting instead of playing other sports with him. Nelson said , "My dad has been teaching me since I was little. I do it for the challenge." Students also hunt for anything from deer to quail. They fish for everything from bass to catfish. "I fish all summer and then hunt all winter," Nelson said. "I hunt and fish year round ," said Joe Martinez. "My favorite memory is when I caught 49 Bluegills ice fishing." Martinez , Nelson and his dogs often hunte.d to gether, making it a team effort. "I go hunting and fishing because they are two of my favorite liobbies, and they're a good way to friends and family. My favorite place t© hunt is in all of the small towns around Neola, and I like to fish in Minnesota." -Brian Nelson In fir st se mes ter Horticu lture, du rin g advisory, Deb Sparr and Lauren McLandsborou gh co uld be seen, and heard in a thrillin g game of card .

McLandsborough said , " It's a good way to pass the time whe n I'm bored." Some popular games were poker, rummy, g in, hearts, solitare, spades and speed.

Whether it be spending time after school at practices or lifting weights in the off-season, the student athlete has to establish themselves, their g oals and be even more organized than the student w ith more leisure time. Not everyone can handle the s tress , but those that make the choice to try accomplish a great deal. Unity that c o m es from a team also develops and allows the athletes to always have friends to count o n .

There is never anything to do, it is never e citing and al· ways the same. There is never a variety to the events, except for the occassional changing weather pattern. This never fails to make the farmers all abuzz, huh? To anyone who has lived in a small town, all these things become apparent sometime. No mat.. ter ~ow much a home means, these thoughts just happen. What also is remembered, fortunately more times than not, are the good things about small town living. These things might include going to school where everyone knows each other's names. It is also appreciated that area businesses are willing to lend their support to so many of the young peoples' causes at school. Thank you to everyone who made this year· book possible.

Either way, images Do oded our minds and conversations remembered brought emotions and memories that built up only to be a small portion,, of the bigger picture of life and of high school. Although small, the values, friends, morals, intelligence and guidance gained are all somehow put to use later in life, whether we know it or not. With the end of the school year came closure, but also a new beginning. Whether as large as em· barking on a new life in college, or just preparing t< brave the next school year, every turn of the calendar'! pages brought new commencements, continuous r e. membrance of days past and one step closer to thE unknown life ahead. ���� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While it may have come too soon or not soon enough, the 2000-2001 school year had arrived. With it came the chance for a new beginnning, the chance to create original memories and to thrive upon past accomplishments. Everything seemed possible, and students were roaring and ready to go. This anticipation was noticeable right from the start as excited conversation filled the halls when students poured in on August 21. While they may not have been willing to admit it, they knew this would be their year to make their mark fo r all to see. Qp~ning 3 ��Commemorating the Year Crazy Madness By Amanda Gau What does student life mean? Does it mean doing homework after school, going to parties on the weekend or attending sporting events? That question can only be answered individually. Students have their own idea offan and what they want to do with their lives. Some feel that academics are most important while others feel sports should be their main priority. Whatever the main focus may be our lives are geared toward achieving our goals. Through our hobbies and extracirricular activities we make our mark in life. We strive to be the best at whatever it is that interests us, and through practice and dedication we fa/fill our interests. Student life depends on the individual; their life is focused on. what interests them. This can range from a variety ofthings, but the end result is still the same; our lives are based around what interests us.

During the summer of 2000 , eight students had this opportunity and many others while traveling through the Big Apple. On June 10, Gavin Skow, Lori Piper, David Marshall, Kelly Ring , Adam Harman, Sara Wellman , Katie Zellmer and Brandi Huddle departed for New York City as part of the Southwest Iowa Touring Honor Choir. Mrs. Arla Clausen also went along as a chaperone of the 72-member group. Highlights of the trip included touring Central Park, Times Square and NBC Studios. For Clausen , one of the most exciting parts was watching New York taxi drivers. "It was like watching the Indy 500!" she said . Marshall's favorite part of the three-day trip was seeing Les Miserables and The Lion King on Broadway. "The Lion King beat any concert or movie I've ever been to in my entire life," he said. Fiesta Bow-I Fiasco Performing in the 2001 Fiesta Bowl Parade , participating in the pre-game ceremony and watching band director Mr. Doug Gibson perform a table dance at Ed Debevic's were only a few of the highlights of th e Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band trip to Phoenix, Arizona. Band members Holly Parker, Joe Pettit, Tomi Toler, Jamie Witt, Angela Krohn , David Marshall and Jon Krohn along with flag corp member Jessica Muhs were among the 200 members of the select group. They also performed in the Iowa State Fair Parade in August. For Angela Krohn , the most exciting part of the trip was eating at Ed Debevic's, a 1950's style diner. "Watching Mr. Gibson dance on the table was the funniest thing in the world ," Krohn said. Auditions for the band take place every other spring . "The trip was a great experience and the audition process is definitely worth it," Gibson said. 22 AtR2nd2 m �Excitement Overseas Waking up at the crack of dawn, enduring hours on a crowded bus and having to pay to use the restrooms may not sound like a pleasant experience for most people.

Are they the students,faculty, administration or the conununitites from, which they all come ? The answer can be found by simply walking down the halls. ~ 0 As one looks around, the great diversity that makes Tri-Center unique is apparent everywhere. Whether it is the various decorations in student lockers or the advertisments hanging on the walls, each signifies a wide variety of interests. Each individual brings with them his or her own ideas, opinions and experiences. It is when these individuals come together that each new day is made interesting and never quite the same as any other. Even though each has their differences, we come together to form one unique whole. This individuality helps us to make our mark not only at school but in life as well.

Qet Personal wit~ Personnel By Lindsey Obermeier Many teachers and students think school is chaotic, but think how crazy it would be without the personnel. Rules would be broken, students would be out of hand and, most importantly, NO BREAKFAST OR LUNCH PROGRAM! So what provoked these significant people to become what they are? Mrs. Karen Kay said "I really didn't plan to become a secretary. It just kind of happened." Mrs. Tami Harman wasn't always a guidance counselor. She taught physical education before becoming what she does now. "The main reason I became a counselor was I felt that I wasn't as efficient in physical education as I could be," Harman said. The per-sonnel not only keeps our school under control but also leaves their mark on many students. Jenna Moen is an aide for Mrs. Kay and says that she has learned a lot from her. "She's taught me that even though the work and pay may not be too good, you still have to work hard." Now, try to think what school would be like if these vital people were not here. Without the administration, school would be more than chaotic; it would be a living nightmare. Mrs. Angela Huseman works busily at her computer to overcome the many tasks that come each day.

With them come new ideas that create their mark in the development of the school. Whether a teacher was leaving the school or just arriving, he or she would want to leave some kind of impression on the way students learn and approach learning. A way a teacher is remembered is by what kind of an impact he or she had on a student. Mrs. Eleanor Gambs said, "I think teachers should strive to demonstrate for their students a love of learning. We need to try to convince students that learning is a lifelong thing ." With the arrival of new teachers came changes to which students had to adapt. Each teacher had a teaching style that is unique to them. Mr. Jeff Fah said , "It is important toJ he student for the teacher to have their unique teaching style because not all students like one type of teaching. Teaching style has a tremendous effect on students' learning. Students quickly pick up the techniques of the teacher, and they also quickly decide if they like those methods. If the students like the teacher's tactics , they probably will put forth more effort." By the students and teachers adapting to each other, much more is learned and thus the faculty is able to leave a lasting impression on the student.

They were ready to face it head on, whatever the challenge . After years of missed opportunities and following in upperclassmen shadows, it was their time to shine. Any situation was the chance to do it differently and maybe, to do it better. They were willing to do whatever it took to get the job done. To be presented with adversity was to see them work even harder. . From the small memories of passing napkins down the lunch line to the larger issues of hardship and grief that they were faced with, they stood together. Even though an outsider may have found it strange and struggled to understand it, anyone on the inside knew what was present and knew they would not be fq.zed. This was their sen ior year and no one would take it away. The only way they could be brought down was by themselves . ' • Bryan Lefeber and Erin Obermeier dress as twins during Spirit Week.

The juniors started off the school year not worrying much about what lied ahead of them, but as the year went on this changed. After contemplating all the choices for their future, many juniors started preparing for what it would take to get to where they wanted to be in life. "I decided on being a band and chorus teacher, " Deb Sparr said. "!·started preparing for this by taking band and chorus classes and spending lots of time working on these things." Though not all the juniors decided on what they wanted to do, some at least narrowed down their choices . "I narrowed down what I want to be when I get older to two choices. I plan to take classes my senior year that pertain to these careers. I also plan on going to college after graduating from high school," Melissa Darrington said.

Music was the hot topic in the halls, at lunch and in after school conversations amongst friends. "I am a concert junky," stated Danielle Sigler. " I go to every single concert I can. I usually go to at least one a week. Concerts are my way of getting away from everything and expressing myself." The top radio station that sophomores listenecf to was 89.7 The River, followed by Channel 97.7, Z-92 and K-Rock 93.3. Numerous bands also influenced students, enabling them to expand their creativity level and abilities. The top bands were Creed, Metallica, Eminem and 3 Doors Down. Music helped the sophomores release the pressure of a stressful day or even a week of hard core school. But this music did not have to come only from famous bands or artists; it also came from involvment in music through school. Kristen Graeve was part of both ~ choir and band. "I love music. Singing and band are fun. I really like pep band a lot," Graeve said. Some sophomores had already gotten involved in performing in a band. Jeremy Ring and James Voge formed a band with juniors Zach Hanken and Jon Krohn called Level B. "It's a lot of fun," said Voge about being in the band. Even though they did not have many gigs, Ring was confident and said, "Level B is a really fun project ana renjoy it thoroughly." Whether it's listening to or participating in, music affects students and will always stay with them as they grow.

Although they were back at the bottom of the ladder, being a freshmen had many advantages . Freshmen were able to participate in more activities than had been available to them while in middle school. They could be involved in extracirriculars such as Swing Choir, Jazz Band, Contest Speech, Student Council , ASTRA and FFA. They could also choose some of their own classes .. Being able to chew gum in some classes and going to their locker wflenever they wanted were more freedoms. "We get to talk to our friends in the halls between classes, " Shannon Brisbois said. "We also don't have to stand in line and follow a teacher. " - Attending Homecoming and participating in Spirit Week were other freedoms that the class of 2005 received. They had the opportunity to compete and participate in pep rallies and choir events such as Variety Show and Small Group Contest. Making new friends is yet another advantage of being a freshmen . By being involved in the activities with older students, friendships were easier to be made. "Being a freshmen is cool because you get to make friends with the older kids ," Jesse Kuhnle said . Although young and new, the freshmen did indeed leave their marks on the school. The lessons they learned from the upperclasmen will be applied when, in a few years, these guys and gals become the "top dogs.

But for 14 middle school students , it is a reality. It was a mystery why so many sets of twins happened to be in the middle school at the same time, but it was definitely the most the school had ever had at once. The entire twin population included 8 boys and 6 girls, existing in girl-girl, boy-boy and girl-boy pairs. So while it may not have included a large portion of the entire middle school population, 14 students knew what it was like to have a sibling with the same birthday.

(front) John Clevenger, Jake Clevenger, Kurtis Pauley, Kaitlyn Pauley, Christie Schoening and Rachel Schoening. I• An activity that was popular for all middle school students was having or attending the birthday parties of their peers who were entering their teenage years. A lot of time was spent on these students' weekends attending the parties to dance, play games, eat and have fun . Attending these social gatherings was a way for the middle school students to have fun in a safe, clean environment with parent supervision. It also allowed them to do one of the things that is most important to anyone of this age groupspending time with friends.

Mr. Max Kozeal, a 6th grade teacher and coach at T-C, sponsored them. To be selected into the group the students were required to write an essay about the ideas they had on improving the middle school. From the essays submitted, Josh Goodsell, Daniel Smith , Cody Petersen, Ashley Nelson, Sarah Moen, Elyse Miller and Alisha Gau were chosen to attend the Leadership Academy, a weeklong camp at Iowa Western Community College, during the summer of 2000. This camp taught the students how to be positive role models and leaders of their school. Throughout the year the Leadership group hosted dances and a fun night for the middle school students. They also helped with the T-C Staff Breakfast in May as well as providing positive influences in their classrooms everyday.

Although it may not seem valuable now, it will be used sometime down the road. Teachers also use various methods ofteaching in order to make learning fun. Through experiments and hands on Leaming teachers try to give students a better understanding ofthe infonnation at hand. This can be an enjoyable break from the usual classroom setting and can give students a better outlook on education. Even though it may not seem like it now, education is a vital part ofour lives.

Buying the newest and best resources was the best way to keep up, making technology a priority. The web page was one way students, teachers, coaches and parents kept in touch. Upcoming events and results of past events were updated everyday. Pictures of the school, faculty and students were seen on the web page with the help of the digital camera. The camera not only took precise pictures, but also was a movie camera. Another way students and faculty communicated was with the help of the daily announcements. Everyday during advisory students could tune into the media center to see and hear what was going on for the day and the rest of the week. Communicating within the . school was just as important as students communicating with the outside world. The best way for them to do so was through the ICN room. The sixth graders experienced the restoration project of the state capital through a video with a live narrator talking and answering their questions. Communication is the basis of technology. With those tools the students, faculty and parents alike stayed up-to-date and aware of the events in and out of the school. Mr. Steve Stafford uses a proj ector that is hooked up to his computer.

For many students this stress came from studying and taking tests. A lot of students with busy schedules had difficulty finding time to study and ended up cramming. _ On the other hand, some students made time in their schedules to study. For some students choosing which test to study for reduced the amount of stress. "It depended on which class I had the test in, but I usually ended up cramming for my tests ," Katie Crawford said.

Others took pictures and developed their own film , while other students made their own Christmas wreaths. No, these are not things students did for fun on the weekends; they were some of the handson activities students did in their elective classes. In some classes, such as chemistry and advanced placement biology, labs were used to help explain complex equations and ideas. "Doing labs helps me visualize what I'm supposed to be learning about. They (labs) help us understand what all the letters and numbers mean," Laura Bahrke said. Students also gained hands-on experience in the shop by trying out tools they wouldn ' t normally get to use. "Using the tools out in the shop makes it a lot easier to understand rather than just reading a book," Josh Kohl said. Students who chose to take art classes were almost constantly doing hands-on projects. "By taking art classes you can decide if you are good enough to maybe major in art in college," Danielle Sigler said. Most students agreed that the hands-on experience they gained from their elective classes made an impression on them both in and out of the classroom.

For the seniors it was an everyday distraction, but for the freshmen the future seemed distant. No matter how students felt about the future, they could not avoid the inevitable. When students thought about the future , they might have thought about what college· to attend and what sort of career they might be interested in. For others college may not have seemed to be an option, so they made the deci sio n to go directl y into th e workforce or possibly the Armed Services.

Challenging schedules lead to bright futures By Laura Nanninga Homework, grades, extracurricular activities and jobs. When added together, all of these things made the life of a high school student hectic. But with good use of time and planning ahead, students were able to cope with their busy lifesty les. After aITiving home late from activities, students were worn out, just wanting to sleep, but with homework still to do. This full day of activity caused stress and may have forced students to plan for better use of their already limited time. Having a busy schedule may have helped an individual become a better person as well. "It was stressful to get home late from a volleyball or basketball game and know that I still had schoolwork to do. It taught me to use my time wisely; if I had time in class, I learned to use it for any work I had," Hannah Ausdemore said. Peggy Bruck added, "I felt really tired and stressed out. I was counted on to be at early morning rehearsals; it was a priority and not an option for me to be there. However, I learned responsibility and to do more things on my own." Although students had a busy lifestyle and never seemed to have time off, their knowledge will carry into their futures.

Organizations allowed students to come together and take part in those activities in which they were interested. They allowed students to express themselves in a positive way, whether it be by peiforming community service for ASTRA, planning activities for the student body with the Student Council or dancing with the Jam Connection. Whatever the interest was, organizations allowed students to try something new. They got students involved in activities outside of the classroom, and by doing so the students had an impact on the organization and the organization had an impact on the student.

The alarm rings at 6:30 a.m., rise and shine! At that time the Jam Connection and Satin Knight members were getting out of bed to arrive at practice nearly everyday at 7:00 a.m. It was a tough routine to follow, but these girls did it and they did it well. If practice makes perfect, then the Jam Connection made it. They arrived at 7:00 a.m. every morning in November to practice their porn and jazz/funk routines over and over. "You have to be willing to get up early and make every practice because you need everyone there to learn a dance," said first year member Tina Clevenger. All this hard work paid off in the end. On December 2 they attended the Iowa State Drill and Dance Championships, the largest dance competition in North America. The girls recieved a Division I on their porn routine and Division II on their jazz/funk routine. The Satin Knights were accustomed to practice also. Starting the first week of school they were here every other day at 7:00 a.m. for almost two months. Rain or shine, 70 degress or 20 degrees, they were here. They also participated in three Saturday competitions throughout the season. The Jam Connection and the Satin Knights worked hard to achieve their goals and succeeded.

What will students think of when they look back on their high school years in marching band, jazz or concert band? Will they thjnk of the impressions that band made on them or the mark they forever left on the band ? Students will forever see the mark they left on the band season. All sections of the instrumental music program received numerous Division I ratings and several first place awards throughout the year. "This year was the best band season I've ever had," Director Mr. Doug Gibson said. ""Because the year was a very successful one, it will be harder for younger members to live up to the standard left by the seniors. "It's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication to meet the past precedent. The seniors were a large part of the band this year," Senior Jamie Witt said. Not only did the students have a good influence on the instrumental music program, the band left many good impressions on its members as well. Being a part of the band left students with many helpful things they will need in everyday life.

"V-I-C-T-0-R-Y, victory victory that's our cry!" This chant was heard from the school spirit leaders, the cheerleaders, at various meets and matches. The cheerleaders were more proud than ever to support the team, win or lose, and the crowd was more involved in the games as far as school spirit goes. Many a game people saw the sports fans shaking their hips , stomping their feet and clapping their hands to all of the most popular cheers. The cheerleaders not only kept the fans pepped up, but also kept the players pumped and ready by getting the .crowd into the game. "Performing and getting the crowd going was the best part of cheering. The crowd really got into the game, especially when we were winning," Courtney Divelbess said. Wrestling cheerleading was also demanding, since the girls had to sit on the uncomfortable mats and took the chance of getting mulled over by wrestlers who went out of bounds. "It was a good experience for me. This was my first year and I enjoyed doing something new," Elizabeth Witt said. What would sporting event .be like without the cheerleaders?

Some students planned for weekend fun with their friends, but the devoted participants in the ASTRA and FFA groups made plans for their weekends of a different sort. They took part in activities that helped them serve their communities and plan for their futut:res . For ASTRA members that meant community service. The one hundred plus members of this group volunteered at nursing homes, homeless shelters and babysitting. This organization was sponsored by Mrs. Mary Prewitt. FFA is an agricultural based group in which members adopted a highway and attended a leadership conference. Although FFA included agriculture, members also focused on horticultme, animal science, construction and marketing. Mr. Kevin Matulka sponsored the FFA group and said, "We believe beatutifying the school and our area is well worth our time."

These organzations focus their time and attention on helping to make Tri-Center and its communities a better place to live. Not only do the brains belong to the National Honor Society but brawn is also required, along with character, community srevice and leadership. To apply for the National Honor Society a student must have a cumulative 3.5 grade point average. They also must fill out an application which describes their co-curricular activites , communtity service, leadership skills and character abilities. A teacher committee then reviews the application and five final teachers must make the choice on who is selected. The club focuses on community service and provides a leadership outlook for other students. "I like being involved in the planning of activites for the community and school. It' s a lot of fun ," Peggy Bruck said. The Student Council also focuses on community service . To get into Student Council applicants must fill out a questionnaire/short essay form on what activites they would like to do in the school. During the course of the year they sold Trojan Beabie B abies, led parents around fo r parent/teacher conferences and other activites to help within the school. "It 's a lot of fun and I would encourage anybody to try out. It' s an opportunity to help out our school," Ashley Clu·istiansen said.

St!!d~nt C!!.!!ncil/ NHS 81 �By Lindsey Obermeier tyTV Reality television shows have been the most recent addition to primetime television. They have also been scoring some high ratings since their creation. Why is this? Many students have their own personal opinions about reality television . They also have their own opinions on how these shows seem to be keeping themselves up with the other primetime television shows that air at the same time. ''The ratings are so high because they're just real. They are different from normal television shows," Nick Kinart said. Some students thought that many people watch them because they can compare their own lives with the people on the show. "Reality TV shows ~ave been scoring so highly because many of us can relate to them. They have no scripts or set words. It's just like improv. You're never going to know what will be next," Katie Bowen said. So for whatever reason, reality television was the most successful addition to the primetime schedule in recent memory. SuNivor IV, anyone? Brealdng News There is no better way to catch the daily headlines than to watch 20/20, Dateline, 60 Minutes or the 6:00 news. People have been watching these shows since they began airing and the ratings do not seem to be slipping at all. So why do people keep turning to the TV for their news instead of other sources such as the Internet? Some people watch the TV for their news verses other sources out of pure laziness. "I think people watch the TV for their news because it's easier and I, like most people, am lazy!" Devin Lebaugh said. Latia Hubbard thought along the same lines. "It's fast and easy. You can just turn on the TV and when you go on the Internet you have to wait for it to log on . You can also just lay on the couch and relax when watching the TV," Hubbard said. The Internet may be a hot source of communication for talking to friends and sending important documents via email , but TV is still the quickest source for news, weather, sports and other daily information. 82 At R!!nd2m �Changing Sports Why spend money on tickets to the big game when one can watch it from the comfort of his or her own home? People have been enjoying sports on television ever since it was available to them. So why have networks, such as NBC, decided that sports need a facelift? The XFL, which premiered on February 3, 2001 on NBC, seemed to be a touchdown with fans for the first few weeks, but the ratings began to drop drastically after that. Does this mean that other sports are going to be seeing some changes? That question might take a few years to answer as networks process what their viewers want to watch. Brian Sibert felt that the XFL had no impact on fans and that other sports will probably stay the same. "I believe the XFL was some kind of a joke. I don't know how you could follow it as an example to change other sports in hoping for better crowd response, " Sibert said. Andy Olsen agrees with other fans who found the XFL to be a disgrace. "I think the XFL was nothing more than a fad. But I do think that other sports will be seeing change in the near future, " Olsen said. So whenever it happens, the sports programs as they air on TV now will surely go through changes in the future. cause they give people excitement. I think people keep watching them because when it comes to something like Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy they can be challenging." -Christine Wimer • Game Shows Having a little extra cash is always on the minds of people , but the question is how does one go about getting that money? One answer people turned to was game shows. Game shows allowed people to win thousands of dollars in one day, wh ere in actuality it could of taken months to earn that money. Why does it seem these shows will never fade out as long as they are on the air? "I don 't think game shows will fade out because they keep coming up with new and more challenging ones. They have also bee n allowing people to win more money and bigger pri zes ," Lau ren Finken said. Many students would probably agree that game shows provide excitement and challenge to the viewer at the same time. Could this strategy prove to be the secret of great television? At R!!nd!!m 83 �By Amanda Wilson Pieces of Art Paint, chalk and pencils are things that all high schoolers have used at least once. By adding these experiences to extra time and natural talent, five art students gained recognition for their work by Scholastic Art. Peggy Bruck entered a baby portriat along with a pen and ink drawing. For these things she recieved a Silver Key and a Certificate of Merit. Alyssa Beebe recieved a Gold and Silver Key for her baby portriat and a pastel drawing. Danielle Sigler entered a watercolor painting and a pastel drawing , recieving a Silver Key. Alayna Co~en and Laura Bahrke recieved a Silver Key and a Certificate of Merit, respectively, for their baby portriats. These five art students were honored for their achievements on February 11 , 2001 at Iowa Western Community College. For My Mother March 23, 2001 was an important day in the life of Rachel Hansen (pictured left). She recieved money and certificate for her poem, "For My Mother." Hansen gave this poem to her mother for her birthday. In it she outlined the many times in her life when her mom was always th ere for her and the many times they had spent together. Hansen's mom then entered her poem into the Western Iowa Poetry Contest. She won first place and recieved her true rewards-an achievement in writing and telling her mom how much she cared . 84 At R2nd2m �Jocks? In shows such as "Saved By the Bell" and "Family Matters" science nerds are portrayed as skinny, wimpy guys with pocket protectors and glasses with tape wrapped around them. With this stereotype, why were four male athletes and the junior high girls basketball coach going to a science bowl in Ames? Miss Cassie Keogh , Brandon Finken, Josh Obrecht, Chris Speight and Justin Nelson (pictured below) pulled out of the school parking lot on January 27, 2001 to test their knowledge in science. 50 teams representing high schools across Iowa were present.

Without teamwork we would not have been as successful as we were and would not have won so many games. Teamwork was definitely a factor. How did the coaches help inspire everyone to do their best? The coaches always worked hard and taught u to do the same. They expected nothing short of the best from us, but we were willing to work hard for them.

Middl~ Sch221 Sp!!rts ll3 ��Making an Impact Coming Together By Amanda Gau Aside from the typical classroom, students learn from a variety of sources, one of those being the community. So how does a community help teach students? Actually, it happens in more ways than most would realize. By working for various businesses in the community, students learn vital skills needed to survive in the " real world." Students also learn important people skills. By dealing with clients, colleagues and their superiors, they learn to solve problems by working as a team. By coming together and supporting each other, especially through times of need, students learn skills that cannot be taught in the 0 u classroom. Although some may feel their community does not have an impact on them now, the experiences and skills they gain have a lasting effect. The community leaves a mark on the students while also helping them to make their own mark on the community.

Love, Steve and Deb !nd!!x 13 l �Making Our Mark A Final Imprint By Ashley Fischer "Making Our Mark" was chosen as the the1ne for the 2001 Trojan at the beginning of the school year. The staff picked this theme out of pure ignorance, just liking the sound of it at the time. They had no way of knowing how well the theme would end up applying to this year. Great strides were taken by students in this fastpaced school year. They left an impression on many different groups of people and in many different ways. Although it went so quickly, something that will neverfade is the memories made and time spent having fun. Students will take with them the notion of a year that was truly unlike any other. 132 C l!!sin g �[g Walsworth Publishing Company 306 Nort h Kansas Avenu e I Marc eline, Misso uri 64658 USA ���fn Palm Beac h Co unty, Fla. , an un expec tedly large num be r o f votes fo r Refo rm Parry ca ndidate Par Buchanan lead to qu es ti o ns abo ut rh c lcgitilllacv o f the pun ch-ca rd -sty le ·' butt erfl y ba ll o t.

With school ·tarting again, students once again decorated their lockers, caught u on the latest gossip and reunited with some of their cla smates they badn 't seen all summer. Besides catching up on lost time, the fint days of school also brought with it the student's determination and h rd work. Students were ready for a year in which they would reach new heights. For some it would be their last year, so they wanted to make it a year truly like no other. For others it was the beginning of high school and they too were excited for a year in which they would experience a whole new world of opportunities. No matter whether it was students' last year of high school or the beginning, they came ready to face a new year. Everyone would do whatever it took to make this year memorable. Whatever It Takes.

Summer Catch By Mandy Darrington To students, the two to three month summer break was true freedom. They caught a summer flick or a few rays on their free time. Many went on vacation, some worked and others simply relaxed. Having a summer job kept some students busy. Junior Andy Griener worked at Applebee ' s while senior Brian Sibert worked for hi s mother's company. Spending time with friends and families on vacations allowed students to explore the country. Senior Kelly Shreeves and her family vacationed in Arizona. "I would highly recommend visiting Arizona, Sedona and the Grand Canyon. They were very pretty sites," she said. Some students learned new things by attending a sport, music or academic camp. For example, freshman Amanda Bahrke attended a gymnastic camp in Lincoln. "The camp was a lot of fun.

During the one and only Spirit Week, of cour e. It' s not everyday that students get to see side ponytails, men dressed as women. or people wearing cowboy boots; so students seem to take advantage of the one week that is devoted to crazy ensembles. Following Monday's teacher in-service was Tuesday ' Eightie's Punk Rock Day. It fell on September 24 and kicked off the week's festivities. Students frizzed their hair, pulled out the big earrings, and wore leg warmers to let people know it was not the year 2001 for the day. Sophomore Kyle Welboume, as well as several others, enjoyed this day. " Eighties Punk Rock Day was the best because it was the funnest to dress up for and find clothes for," Welboume said. Opposite Gender Day followed on Wednesday. Girls wore suits with ties, while boys wore apparel ranging from skirts and a blouse to prom dresses w ith make-up. On Thursday students dug out the cowboy boots and hats to prepare themselves for Cowboy/Cowgirl Day. Senior Molly Stone felt that this clay was the winner of the week. "Everyb dy looked good in their attire," Stone sa id.

With the Homecoming scheduled a couple weeks later than usual , however, things were a little less hectic. Sponsors Roger Larsen and Cassie Keogh along with selected court members had more time to choose groovy Spirit Week days, a great theme, and other tiny details. Due to the unusually large size of the senior class , the court consisted of eight males and females. Junior Katie Crawford said "I think the senior class chose great candidates to represent them at Homecoming." The candidates on court included: Andy Christensen, Ashley Christansen, Shawn Dalton, Amanda Gau, Katie Guadian , Steve Killpack, Paul Larsen, Eddie Leaders , Sarah Manhart, Justin Nel son, Sara Plambeck, Erin Schierbrock, Brian Sibert, and Noah Thielen . With the court chosen, it was time to get to work. Court members selected the song "Your Life is Now" by John Mellencamp as the theme and picked out the four spirit days.

That Thursday at 5 a. m ., those 64 people were up and ready to go on a t1ip many of them bad bee n looking forward to for year . They were headed to Washington D.C. for four days crammed with activitie . Just after arriving at the Reagan National Airport, they met their tour guides. Richard and Leah, and already began their tour of the city. The ite een during their tay included the Capitol , the Supreme Court, the Washington National Cat11edral , the Washington Monument, Mount Vernon , Old Towne Alexandria, Fords Theatre, the Petersen house and Arlington National Cemetery where they atte nded a wreath-laying ceremony. They also had a chance to see many memorial s during the day and also at night. The memorial they were able to see were the Jefferson , FDR and Lincoln Memorial s, the United States Marine Corps War Memorial and the Korean War and Vietnam Veterans Memorials. Students and chaperones were let loose one day to explore the many mu eums and part of the city. James Voge decided hi s favorite was the National Air and Space Museum.

They danced below or simply took in the view from the top of the boat. They also took part of a day to walk around the city and visit souvenir shops and street venders. After everything the students saw in those four days, it was hard for many of them to pick their favorite part of the tri p. Shari Greiner was one who had a difficult time deciding. "It was all good," Greiner said. " I realJ y liked the Washington National Cathedral. It was neat to see because it was so huge that it was kind of amazing." Kim Bennett, who celebrated her bi1thday in D.C., enjoyed the dinner cruise and the Korean War Memorial. Andy Greiner, on the other hand , said the best part of the trip was "defini tely the toilet on the bus with Robby.'' Although they couldn ' t all agree on the best part of the trip, most did agree that getting stuck on the plane fo r about three hours was not somethiJ1g they enjoyed.

The small changes, however, could be summed up as "comfortable stripes." During the year stripes and other forms such as plaid made their way back into the students' wardrobes. Another noticeable trend was just being comfortable. Skin-tight anything was out and students wore loose, comfy shirts and pants. Hoodies also accommodated the comfortable look. "I wear com fortable clothes because I don't care what people think and they're comfortable," Sophomore Jesi Meyers said. Some kept with the trends while others prefered to stay as far from them as possible. Junior Robby Stuart supported animals, as in Pony and Puma clothing. "I like to be different and Pony and Puma are not the popular trends," Stuart said . Students also took a great interest in band shirts and character shirts, like Sponge Bob Square Pants. Gadzooks, Hot Topic, or any of the music stores were the hot spots for the interesting clothing . The old school "preppy" look still remained one of the popular styles for many. Khakis, sweaters, clunky boots and button-up shirts with collars made that preppy look.

Stores that bear the name of the brands were the places to go and stores like the Buckle were nice too. The big fad of the year was permed hair. Quite a few girls decided to crimp their hair rather than leave it straight. This trend didn't last long, however, and straight was back in before students knew it. The long hair look also came back for both gals and guys and the guys took a more "shag" approach. "Let the trow flow," was sophomore Jesse Kuhnle description of his approach to hair.

A student' s name can make h.im or her feel unique or, in some other cases, like just another face in the crowd. Senior Sara Plambeck experienced this firsthand . "Sara is such a common name. When people say 'Sara' I always look. It is too common," Plambeck Sa.id. On the other end of the spectrum, a few students have names wh.ich have interesting origins. Daryn Morriss, for example, is one of them. Morri ss was named after h.i s father Randy. "Daryn is Randy all messed up; they have the same letters just switched around," Morri ss said . Many families have children whose names all start with the same letter, and when a teacher has a baby, excitement over the baby' s name is frequently the topic of conversation. Mr. Jim Dermody and his wife decided to name their son Easton. As a result, many students were left wonderin g if thi s had anything to do wi th the fact Dermody is the baseball coach and Easton is the brand name of a popular bat.

Senior Brenna W eihs <J Weird Science Some say cafeteria food is gross, but compared to what others are bringing in their lunch bags, the stuff most get on their trays starts to seem rather mundane. These fo ods are definitely something that satisfies a ce1tain person' s hunger and usually creates a new uniqueness in them. Senior Brenna Weihs, who seemed to be a normal person, actually had some strange habits. Weihs' s food of choice was mustard and cheese sandwhiches. Ideas fo r these concoctions can come from many different ource . Weihs said, "Me and some friends were playing truth or dare at a birthday party. I got dared to eat a mu tard, cheese and pickle sandwich. It was gross, but without the pickle it is alright." Everybody p1 bably has a food that they love above all others, but for some this is actuall y an obsession. Junior Donnie Smith, fo r exan1ple, had a fe tish for peanut butter covered pickles. Some of these food choices are even hard to fathom for most. "The weirdest food I have ever eaten was pears covered with cottage cheese topped off with miracle whi p and a marischino cherry ; but it's very good," j unior Angela Krohn said.

Prom night was one of those "Boogie Nights" for all to remember. The girls made appointments for hair, nails, and makeup. Junior Andrea Ring said, "Getting your hair done takes the longest, then getting dressed and putting your make-up on , it probably takes me a hour and a half or two hours." The guys picked up their tuxes and flowers and, of course, got their ride ready. Another preparation was the decorating of the gym,which was done by the juniors the week before prom. To start off the night, couples and groups posed for pictures to make the memory last forever. Everyone, including some faculty and staff, then sat down to an elegant chicken and prime rib dinner served by sophomores. Senior Carl Wallace said, "The dinner was my favorite part of prom because the food was good and our waiter was cool. Also it was free." The Grand March followed the banquet. Ring said , "Waiting in line at the Grand March was the worst part of prom." Family, friends , and members of the community gathered in the high school gym to watch the prom goers show off their dresses and tuxes.

Then everyone rode on buses to Thunderbowl in Council Bluffs where they bowled, got tattoos, played games and ate. There was a characture artist also.

After thirteen years of soaking in all the information that is essential for a bright future, the class of 2002 had finally completed their education needed for the years to come. Throughout elementary, junior high and high school there were moments of achievement, embarrassment and maybe even some failure. Senior Adam Schneckloth's most memorable moment occured right in the school's parking lot. "My most memorable moment was when I almost got ran over by the cook's van." All of these moments, no matter how much one tries to forget them , will forever be remembered. These young men and women had the knowledge to move forward in life, and the question of "What do I do now?" arose. Many planned on attending a four-year college or tech school. Senior Heidi Ausdemore was one of these students. She planned on attending college in the fall and majoring in public administrations. However, other students felt they were ready to join th e workforce. Schneckloth planned on working for awhile to earn some cash before going to college.

This would be the last time the class of 2002 would be together. The top four students shared memories and gave advice before graduates received diplomas. Scholarships, which were given to the students by their school of choice or other various organizations and memorials, followed. When the ceremony finally came to an end, many shed tears and xchanged hugs. However, after completing thier childhood education, tllese young men and women knew they were ready to travel down the road to many new challenges, responsibilities and opportunities. Van Morri o n.

Students had begun to pile through the doors on that fateful day, September JI , 2001, around 8:00 a.m. Until then the day had been normal , but within the next 15 minutes the world changed forever. At approximately 8: 15 a.m. that morning, four jets were crash landed allegedly at the hands of Islamic taLiban leaders. Two planes were driven into the llO story World Trade Center towers one and two, another plane crashed into a section of th~ pentagon and yet another into a field in rural Pennsylvania. The last plane was rumored to be headed toward the white house, but the terrorists were overthrown by patriot pa sengers who, in the las t seconds of their lives, crashed the plane into a remote area instead of sitting back and letting the plane crash into one of the most important buildings in America. Throughout the days students, glued to the television screen, watched the events of the worst foreign attack on Ame1ica since Pearl Harbor unfold before their very eyes. "It was so unreal to see something Uke this happen to America. I could hardly believe it was true as I watched the TV screen," sophomore Jennifer Crozier said. Though the events of that day were over within a matter of hours, the aftermath of those tragedies were far from over. TVT Records. Gravitv Kills. 1996 All fe>r Point of Orjgin Though the demise of the World Trade Center was seemingly the most focused on issue in the media since the September 11 attacks, there was aanother building for which America should mourn. A few moments~after the two planes hit the World Trade Center, another plane took aim and flew into one section of the Pentagon, killing approximately 100 people immediately and causing the evacuation of thousands from capital grounds. Built in 1943, the five-story Pentagon building has five concentric rings connected by ten spoke-like corridors ranging out from the inner ring. Its population has varied over the years, peaking during wartime periods at weU over 30,000. When the pl ane hit the Pentagon, the safety of America went into question momentarily, but Americans were able to keep their fatih in what the governemnt thought would be best for the country to keep alJ safe. Since the attacks the effected section of the Pentagon has been rebuilt. Though much was restored, the course of hi story for America has changed forever. 26 Point of Origin. Patric ia Corn well. Stud ent Life 1990 C>.-.~ �I was surprsied. I didn ' t understand what was going on. All I knew at first was that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center towers. At first I didn' t know the reason why it had happend. I was caught up in the anxiety. Once I realized that it was a terr01ist attack, I felt angry and thought those responsible should be apprehended and punished. Junior Daren Barnes Deconstructed <l The attack on America was the most stunning thing to occur since the attack on Pearl Harbor that left 2,400 people dead. When the dust settled on September 11 , an estimated 5,000 people were thought to have died in the World Trade Center attack, 100 estimated in the Pentagon attack, and the 250 passengers of the four planes were among the casualties of these attacks . America was a nation in mourning. Built in 1973, the World Trade Center was more than ju t a landmark. For over 50,000 people going to the World Trade Center everyday was ju t another part of their life. That was because the World Trade Center was home to literally thousands of office, accounting and law firms , for example. When the towers had fallen , not only had these 50,000 people lost their j obs, but also the businesses smrnunding the mile radius that the debris from the towers flew lost their source of income and their home. The World Trade Center was not only a source of jobs fo r thou ands of people but also a vital part of the com muni ty where it had stood. The building weigh d more than 1.5 million tons and con tained 198 miles of heating duct . Each floor of the towers was 50,000 square feet large. The six basements also included two New York subway stations and the path trains to New Jersey used by 150,000 people daily. The people in that area lost more than a couple of buildings; they lost their way of life. Bush.

Seniors "rule the school," and they get to experience many more benefits than previous years. The class of 2002 was no different. "I have waited for my senior year for as long as I can remember, and now that it is here I am going to enjoy every mi nute of it," Sara Plambeck said.

They weren ' t burdened with the worry of what everyone thought of them; they did what made them happy and didn ' t let anything stop them . "The senior class truly lives for the now. We don't get caught up in being better than each other like other grades. We enjoy live to its fullest," Tammi Honeywell said. Even though they liked to have fun , they also knew when it was time to buckle down and get to work. They had determination and perseverance to get them through their last year. Many achieved the goals they set for themselves. "I wanted to finish out my last year of high school by getting good grades and having fun. I know I did j ust that," Plambeck said. So the class of 2002 fini shed out their high school careers by making memories, enjoying their time spent in school and working hard. Their feelings of anticipation and "can't hardly wait" were finally ceased. Can't H ard ly Wait. Dir.

Make Yourself "Our class is tight because it is made up of a bunch of individuals that aren ' t afraid to express themselves and we all get along great." -Brandon Petersen By Kelsey Miller Students enjoy school simply because of the people they spend it with, and the class of 2003 was no different. Though diverse with their interests and activities, this class seemed to get along like a well-oiled machine. It seemed as though the- differences brought them closer together. Selfexpression seemed to play an imp011ant role in their lives. One of the ways they chose to express themselves was with music. Many went above and beyond when trying to convey where their interest lay. '"It seems like there were a lot of people in music, not just in the school, but bands outside school too,'' Mr. Jim Dermody said. Interests in clothing ranged from the preppy to the laid-back punk style. Jenny Troyer said, "I don't think we are afraid to be ourselves and to be bold because we don' t care what other people think about us." Without the pressures of other students the juniors were able to develop their own sense of style and individuality. Students believed this class got along well with each other. "There really Casie Barrier, Hannah Ausdemore, Marie Cor rin, Andrea Ring, and Laura Nanninga stayed up all night at State Volleyball. (Photo provided by Andrea Ring) aren't any cliches," Andy Greiner said. Without the vicious bickering, juniors were able to talk freely and communicate their ideas with other students during their high school careers. Casie Barrier agreed. "'Everybody just gets along with everyone." All in all , the junior class overcame a sense of diversity and grew from it. Instead of the arguing found in some other classes. this class seemed more concerned with achieving what they want in life and not worrying about what the world has to say about them. Incubus.

No longer freshmen, they earned a new sense of respect and acceptance. For most, it was the year many had their sixteenth birthday. Turning sixteen gave a teen more privileges.

"I get along with the teachers better because they respect me more as I get older," Jamie Ring said. Another oppurtunity presented to sophomores was the option to buy a cla s ring. Many students jumped at the oppurtunity to have a Bre~t Coo~ ring personalized just for them. Brent Daringer said, "I wanted to show people what I am really like." They also pulled through with the win in the class competitions during Spirit Week upsetting the favored seniors.

The challenge is more than just fitting in , keeping up grade is also involved. While these students are growing and experiencing things, they are becoming part of the young teen world.

In high school students learn more about themselves and their future. They prepare for the future in order to have a better living style. Mrs. Kell y AJfers, whose classes revolve around practical living, feels her classes are important and rewarding. "The students are able to utilize almost every skill taught immediately in their life," Alfers said. Students learned to prepare meals in Foods I and II. Once or twice a month the classes cooked and sold a main dish. For their final, students planned and prepared a breakfast in Foods I and a dinner in Foods II. The meals had all the trimmings for the two invited guests. "Cooking the meals is an interesting challenge because it tests all of your skills you have learned over the semester," sophomore Lauren Finken said.

(Photo by Mandy Darrin gton) By In parenting, a required class, students learned the facts of life and skills of parenting. "Almost everyone wants to have kids at some point in their life. This class has given us a head start on learning how to be a parent," senior TJ Smith said. Speakers such as a mother who adopted six children, an O.B.G.Y.N. , a single parent, and a parent who homeschooled visited. Students also wore the pregnancy outfit and helped out the kindergarten classes throughout the year. One memorable moment AJfers had was when Daryn Morris and Jeremy Ring sang their report to the parenting class. Another was when a student opened a tube of biscuits with a can opener. She enjoyed her first year at TriCenter and had a lot of fun with the students. All of these classes helped the students; they got a better understanding of how to prepare for the future. ~~~~ Di r.

Watch it as we use it and as it grows to bigger and better things. By Desiree Sigler... . Technology could be seen all over the school. From the class room to the parking lot, it was there. Whether it was new or old it was used for everyday experiences. One of the new items inlcuded the postage machine with a scale. The school also purchased a fax machine. The scale weighed the mail to see how much postage was needed. The new postage machine metered the mail and stamped it. The new fax machine was faster, made clearer copies and was easy to use. Mrs. Karen Kay, along time secretaiy at Tri-Center for a long time, knew all of the facts on the technology scene. "I've seen a lot of changes since I started working here. I use technology everyday; it is an irnpmtant fact in my job. When I first get to work I an1 on the computer and am on it untill the end of the day," Kay said. Many other machines continued to be put to good use. An example is the copy machine. It was fast, easy to use and had numerous options. The cameras throughout the school also helped keep an eye on things. As the year ended so did the everyday anouncement that the server had to be shut down due to a virus. The everyday problems that tended to arise were always conquered by new and improved technology. Technology is ever changing, and as the years pass the school will continue to get more items to keep up to date, and armed to battle Jun iors Nate Smith, Andy Morse, senior Carl Wallance and junior Hannah Ausdemore hurry to get their assignment done during eighth hou r so they can go home.

Some are required and others aren' t. Core classes are classes a student must take, and an elective is a class that is optional One new elective class that was added recently was Contemporary Novel. There were many other elective classes from which students could choose.like Publications I and II , lnfonnation Resem·ch and all ·Spanj h lasses. There ru·e also those elective cl asses that ru·e only open to senjors: Senior English, Engli sh Compostion I, Engbsh Compostion Il and World Literatw·e. Some students don' t have an interest in elective courses that require a lot of rearung, they like to get into classes that allow them a more handson expe1ience. Some of those classes are the computer courses, art courses and industii al rut courses. Stephanie Wellman srud , "I decided to take Foods II because I like to cook. I wanted to learn more about different types of food." These students were able to use hands-on leru11ing. For some, that is the way they ru·e better able to learn and understand things. In the horticulture class students did a lot of hands-on lellilling. At the beginning of the yeru· they tore uo the old butterfly gru·den at the elementru-y and built a new flower garden. Some students just choose an elective class to try something different. Ryan Long srud, "I decided to take Advanced Alt because I just wanted to be in an rut class."

U.M and Mrs. Elliott." -Freshman Lexi Beebe By Katie Barrier When most students started their first days of high school, they didn' t think about classes but rather about being with their friends and having fun. They often didn' t realize the importance in their classes, especially their required classes Required classes included the core classes of English, math science and social studies as well as P.E., Health, Parenting, and a computer class. Students needed to meet the required number of credits in order to graduate. The difficult part was not usually meeting the requirement but figuring out which classes to take. Students had to earn 46 credits to graduate. For 2005 and on graduates it will be 48. Of those credits 33 are required and 13 are electi ves. Required credits included eight English, eight math, six science, six social studies, five P.E. and Health, one Parenting, and one computer. Some students did not feel that it was fair to have the classes chosen or set for them in high school. Ashley Stangel said, "I kind of think they should be, but shouldn't either. If students pick them, then the classes wiJJ be too big or small, because everyone will find what their friends and everyone else is going to take." With the school year ended and another about to begin, the required classes will once again be "As Good As it Gets." 1997 Se ni o r Shari Grein e r d oes s om e of her as igned q ue s ti o ns w hil e in Mr. Fa h ' s A .

They held on until the last dance. Members enjoyed different parts of Drill Team. Courtney Divelbess said, ''The best part of drill team was the opportunity to work hard on our dances, preform for the crowd , and see all our hard work pay off." Their new sponsor was Brylie Carlson, a UNO student and former member of the Northwest Missouri State University Dance Team . "Having a new coach helped the team keep motivated and gave us the opportunity to show everyone what we could do," Divelbess stated. The girls ran and also drilled all of their dances along with working skills across the floor to achieve precision. All of their hard work payed off though. The team received a II at the state performance. Although this wasn 't the best score they could receive it was good for having their third coach in three years. Katie Gaudian said that she enjoyed her experience at state and had fun hanging out with everyone in the motel. "State drill team was thrilling but also nerve racking at the same time . Staying in the hotel and then watching other drill teams perform was neat. After we performed we knew we did well and where happy about performing in front of an enormous crowd ," Sarah Manhart said. The team also held an afternoon for interested elementary students. The kids were split into groups where taught a dance, played games, and a snack was also provided. The kids were able to perform in front of an audience at the half time of a boys basketball game. The team danced to the end and enjoyed the excitement of performing at the games and at State . "After we perfomed at state, we all knew we did a great job," Manhart said. Save the Last Dance. Dir.

They worked hard and gained both self-achievement and recognition of fellow members. How did the members come to join such a prosperous organization ? Sponsor Mr. Kevin Matulka said, "Take an Ag. class, then you' re eligible to join." They competed in several competitions throughout the year. Some of those included the livestock and soil judging contests at Northwest Missouri State. The soi l judging team of Shari Greiner, Jenna Moen, John Ungrad and Eric Clark missed a trip to the state competition by just one pl ace. These are just some of the acheivements the FFA Chapter has accomplished. Their ann ual fruit sales were a glowing token of the hard work that went on in the organization throughout the year. They sold around 15,00Q dollars worth of fruit from October 17th to November 7th. While doing things to improve the community, fellow members went to the Building Our Iowa Communities Conference. They learned about a grant available from Alliance Pipeline to improve the chapter itself. While attending the game feed, they were able to sample different kinds of wild li fe . Another favorite event of the year was the Trap Shoot. Members were able to test their aim by shooting clay pigeo ns. Members of FFA not on ly helped out their community, but showed leadership to their fellow student body. They were able to compete, help out and have fun au at the same time.

The ASTRA organization was started especially for these reasons. It gives students the oppo1tunity to be invol ved in helping people and allows them to give back to their communities. Many students join ASTRA tci gain se rvic hour , to help people in need. or to lend a helping heart wherever and whenever it is needed. The ASTRA Vice President senior Heidi Ausdemore joined for a number of reasons. " I wanted to get involved with the community and help different organizations or people," Ausdemore said. Mrs. Kelly Alfers took over her first year as head of the orcranization. She brought excitement and enthusiasm to make the organization grow and become better than it was already. "I really enjoy it, but I feel I wasn ' t able to dedicate as much time to it as I would have liked in order to get more services rolling and more students active," Alfers said. As ASTRA Pre ident, senior Kelly Shreeves was responsible for many people and their actions. It was tressful yet enlightening. "The best thing about being invol ved in the ASTRA organization is knowing that I am helping people who need it," Shreeves said. Community service is a blessing to everyone. These wonderful students made a journey of honor and helped to make the world a better place. People respect them for their dutie and will be forever grateful of their actions. "I' m in ASTRA because it gives me a chance to help other people and not just think about myself," Nicole Pauley said. 1phomore Ashley Stangl runs off copies Jr Mrs. Alfers.

Many wanted to make changes, and a few ways to do so were to join Student Council or to be selected for National Honor Society. These two groups were able to help others and benefit the community as well. Stu.

Co. is a group in which students app ly to be able to voice opinions about th school. The group took an activ role by holding a alentine's Day Dance and buying a new candy machine. Stu. Co. helped show appreciation to teachers as well as bus drivers and staff by making a best ru1d most list and hosting a teacher/senior breakfast. At homecoming the l " annual golf cart parade gave the community a new way to support the school. Stu. Co. seemed to give members a sense of satisfaction. "Student Council is something you do, not just something you put on your resll.'ne," Hubbard said. NHS also worked to help the community as well as the chool. NHS, lead by Mrs. Tami Harman, is a select group in which a few good men were selected out of a larger number of applicants. At the · induction ceremony eight new members were inducted. NHS held two blood drives, collected money door-to-door for artluitis and held a coin drive for cystic fibrosis. "The major goals are to provide service, provide leadership and communicate with the community and the school," Harman said. Officers were President.

Their conference record, however, put them in a tie with Missouri -Valley, AHST, and Underwood for the Conference Seasonal Champs. 'The boyis really like baseball, so they tired to stay in shape," Head Coach Jim Dermody said. Because of a love for the game, the team seemed to do whatever was needed to improve and prepare. Many plaY.ers ran track and lifted weights to stay in shape. 'Definitely our offense was our strong point. We hit exceptionally well," Dermody said. Four players hit over .400, while the team average was .363. The boys had hoped to be the best and take on some of the toughest teams 1n their conference, which they accomplished.

Many people have heard that popular line from the famous movie "Field of Dreams" based on a true story set in Dyersville, Iowa. For the 2001 Softball team it came true. The team entered the season with two new coaches, a new softball field, new uniforms and as well as new goals and anticipations for the summer ahead. With seven returning starters backed by strong senior leadership, the team accomplished many important goals throughout the season. They were the District Runner-up, won the C-A-M tournament for the second straight year, and closed out the season at 18-16 overall and 6-8 in the conference. The JV team completed the season with a record of 12-5, while the freshmen ended at 6-2. "I think we reached all of our goals during the season. We had some setbacks, but in the end we were happy about what we accomplished," sophomore pitcher Shari Killpack said. Two new coaches made the season more challenging and exciting than ever. Both Head Coach Derek Sonderland and Assistant Coach Cassie Keogh entered the season excited and eager. These feelings continued throughout the summer. "I was pleased with the girls work ethic. They came in and worked hard for me," Coach Sonderland said. Playing their final season, seniors LeAnne Ausdemore, Rachel Finken , Amy Minahan, Jessica Muhs, and Erin Obermeier were a solid backbone. Coach Sonderland said, "It will be hard losing those five seniors. They were a group of kids who worked hard and were real knowledgeable about the game. They will be missed, although, we have a great group of young kids with a nice work ethic to look forward to." Even the players felt excited about the new changes. "I think our coaches did a nice job. They worked really hard and made all the teams work harder and want to win and improve," junior right fielder Tina Clevenger said. The team had to put in excessive amounts of time, energy, sweat, and determination to have such a successful season . They came to practice each day ready to work hard and learn more at every opportunity. By putting these things together, the softball team was able to complete an outstanding season. Field of Dreams.

The Gift of Game By Sara Withers Friday when the last bell rings, school is over and done until Monday .. .right? Wrong! It's game night, and students, staff, and fans will fill the school once more before the weekend. Elliott said the goal at the start of the season was to improve as a team, work hard and have fun and they did just that. Beating Ar-We-Ve 38 to 8, the football team started their season with a bang. This was the first in the five gA.me winning streak. Four more wins followed with a high point of the season being the conquering of Missouri Valley in a close 1O to 7 Saturciay afternoon game. "Beating Missouri Valley was a big accomplishment, considering they are a class larger than us, " Head Coach Dan Elliott said. "It was fun to play during the day and come out with a big win," said Assistant Coach Jeff Fah. Carl Cochran, and Jim Dermody were assistant coaches to Elliott throughout the season as well. In the Homecoming game against Boyer Valley, the Trojans came out with a 47 to 34 victory. Underwood came through the next week, however, and beat the seemingly unstoppable Trojans 20 to 41, to end their winning streak. "The team felt down from the loss, and lost their intensity," Elliott said. The team finished the season with three more losses to AHST, Lo-Ma and St. Albert, leaving the Trojans with a 5-4 record. "I tl1ink that we did better than everyone expected," said Kent Harryman. Even though the season ended less intense than in the beginning, Elliott would like to thank the players and fans for being there and having a great season.

Hardball By Laura Bahrke Hardball is what the volleyball team played this year; they acommplished goals and played their hardest. Head Coach Brian Wedemeyer said, "The volleyball team had a positive attitude." It was that positive attitude which lead the team to accomplish their goals and end with a 14-12-1 overall record and a 8-5 conference record. The Junior Varsity finished 5-5, while the Freshmen were 7-3. As a team they finished second in the conference and fourth in the conference tournament. They also recived the Distinguished Academic Achievement Award. Many individuals had major accomplishments with four making All-Conference. Wendy Ausdemore and Laura Nanninga were named First Team All-Conference. Sarah Manhart was named Second Team All-Conference and Andrea Ring was named Honorable Mention All-Conference. 'The girls played inconsistent, but I was pleased that we placed second in our conference. I also noticed the girls improvement in working without outcomplaining," Wedemeyer said. Many individuals set goals to both have fun and to improve skills. "As an individual my goals were to enjoy my last year and help the team become better both physically and mentally," Senior Mandy Darrington said. Sophmore Katy Taler's goal was spiking. Toler said, "I was a pretty weak spiker last year and this year I improved a lot." From a player's perspective, "I thought that the team progressed over the season. We stepped up when we needed to and worked as hard as we could," sophomore Jessy Heimbaugh said. The team's positive attitude along with their individual strengths held them together throughout the season. Memories on the court will never be forgotten .

(Photo provided by Coach Pat Dalton) Follow the Leader By Desiree Sigler Most people wouldn't even think of running long distances unless they were being chased by a razor-tooth rabbit. The cross country runners ran a grueling lwo miles or more everyday. They didn't think about the distance they ran; they just did it. "It was a good season," Coach Pat Dalton said. While the boys put together a varsity team for just three meets, the girls squad ran in ten meets with the high point being a strong third place finiSh at Audubon. Though the team's season had a lot of ups and downs, the team still focused on improving their abilities in each race they ran. With the lack of rabbits chasing them, tney continued to run their hardest even when times got tough. Dalton said, 'The team's goals were to be competitive in every race ana to become better with each meet. We wanted to improve personal bests and times over courses run before." Even though it was the last year for the few seniors on the team, they still had their own personal goals. Jared Graham's goal was to improve his l ime from last year, and Jeremy Barnes' was to fi~isfl ~he race no matter how bad his back hurt. Alyssa Beebe, the only senior girl runner, also had goals. "I wanted to complete each race and improve throughout the season," Beebe said. The seniors will be missed very_ much. l!le.Y. Pl;Jt fo.rth a lot of effort and acheived most of their goals. Jenny Dalton said, I will miss all of the bus rides with Jeremy and all of the stories that he told; those were the best." Although the team goofed around at pr~ctice, they also worked hard and tried to achieve their goals. Julie Leonard said her goal was to run a good time and place at the district meet. "Lifting weights hefPed out. I was getting stronger while I was having fun," Leonari:l said. Throughout the season the team had to look past their difficulties and focus on ini:lividual i provements. Whether it was leading the flock or following the leader, they found the strength in themselves to succeed.

Hanken was the WIC tournament 130 pound champion, earning his first tournament championship after two run ner-up finishes. (Photo by Mrs. Sarah Elliott) By Amber Finken As the winter months slowly rolled in, the anticipations of wrestling season began. Vigorous practices, after-school matches and weekend tournaments filled the next three months. The season commenced with experienced seniors and determined underclassmen ready to hit the mats. With hard work and great potential, each wrestler seemed to somehow improve more and more throughout the season. Seniors Zach Hanken, Justin Nelson, Justin Ring, and Mark Smith hit the mats for their final season. Together they added strength, power, and experience to the team. Head coach Mr. Andy Hensley was pleased with the effort the seniors put forth. 'They showed leadership by working hard in practice," Hensley said. Overall, the season was a success in some way or another for every wrestler. Success ranged from reaching personal goals to attaining the simple pleasure of winning. "I think I did alright for being my first year as a high school wrestler," freshman Cody Peterson said. Even with the accomplishments of the past season, there were already anticipations for the next year. Sophomore Joe Ausdemore hopes to improve on many aspects of the sport "Next year my goals are to finish the season off with more wins than losses and to make it to State," Ausdemore said. With great work ethic and the determination to win, the wrestling season was a huge success in more ways than one. If it was winning the first match of the season or the last, satisfaction was always just out of reach. The desire to improve came from places beyond the mat, and the wrestling season will be memorable for years to come. Bevond the Mat. Dir.

With five letterwinners returning and four other seniors to lead the way, the boys basketball team came ready to play. Headed by long time coach Carl Cochran and assisted by Jim Dermody and Brian Lund, the team earned runner-up status in both the Wsstem Iowa Conference tournament and District tournament. The varsity rounded out the season with a record of 20-4. The junior varsity finished at 8-3 while the freshmen were 1-6. The players and coaches came into each game ready and willing to do what they could to win. They came into the season with high expectations. Cochran said, "The season was very successful. We didn't accomplish all the goals we had set, but came close." Some of the players were disappointed with the way the season ended, while others thought it was successful. Paul Larsen said, "I felt the season was successful becuase we had an overall record of 20-4, but it was disappointing because we didn't reach the goals that we set for ourselves." The seniors ending their high school careers were Andy Christensen, Shawn Dalton, Jared Graham, Adam Harman, Zach Kinart, Paul Larsen, Shawn Petersen, Noah Thielen and Carl Wallace It gave them a chance to make many memories. Shawn Petersen said, "My most memorable moment this year was playing with my brother, Bean, and Shawn Dalton for the last time." Love and B a~ ketbal l. Dir.

The Lady Trojans had a tough season and played with some tough competition. This added to some thrilling victories rounded it out to be a good season. The varsity finshied at 10-11 while the JV went 7-4 and the freshmen 3- 3. The girls gave their all to win their games and strived for the best. They hoped for the best and were confident in what they had to show. Even though they had some struggles, they worl<ed hard as a team. " We beacme closer throughtout the season on and off the floor, and we showed teamworl< when we came together," Missy Banier said. Whether it was during regular season or tournament play, the Lady Trojans were not only defeated some of their biggest rivals, but also achieved some of their team and individual goals. Freshman Wendy Ausdemore said, "I got stronger on my inside game more and I played varsity." Although they were a young team, starting three juniors and two freshmen, they still managed to keep their heads high and worl< hard as a team. They concentrated and focused on improving each time they played. Although the season came to an end, their "Hoop Dreams" still remained until next season when they will be back at it again. They will return with more goals to achieve and their never ending determination. Hoop Dreams. Dir.

The team, coached by Nile Smith, competed for the fourth year and gained a lot of popularity from studepts. The boy's golf teamed started the season off with a win against Riverside. Junior golfer Andy Morse said, ''It was really awesome when we beat Riverside because we only beat them by three strokes. That made it really special." The Riverside meet would have been sweeter, but a very ' 'Happy Gilmore" moment occured when freshman golf member Brandon Nelson was truck in the head with a golf club by accident. Nelson had to be taken to the hospital but was released with a slight concussion. The girls' season started off well too, with early wins over Griswold and Treynor, both considered challenging teams to beat. Junior Kirn Nelson said " I was really surp1ised and happy when we beat Treynor because we had been psyching ourselves out; we thought we would lose." The golf team is gaining more and more popularity every year. Being on th golf team helps one strive for individual success, as well as work hard for the overall team average.

With awesome talent and furious determination, the guys ran until their hearts could not take another beat Mentally this team let nothing get in their way offinishing strong. With eight seniors the team had a great deal ofleadership and positive attitudes. "I like the teams attitude at times and I also liked how some cheered eve1yone on when they were running," senior Jenney Barnes said. The underclassmen worked hard to keep up with the team. "I felt that this year went great We worked veiy hard and were pushed by the coaches and the seniors. We improved at eveiy track meet," freshman Colburn Dittmer said. Going to state the previous year had a huge impact on the team. Mentally they wanted to go , but for some it was not physically possible because of injuries. Joey Kosmacek was one of the first injured when he pulled his hamstring in the 4x100 meter relay at the Logan track meet Barnes was anotherone who had troubles, and Paul Larsen sprained his ankle, which left him out for a few meets. With all the injuries, however, the team kept pushing towards state. Whether racing down that track or jumping the next hurdle, their furious race to the finish continued when six guys ran at state in a total of four events. Those events were the 4 x 200 meter relay ofKosmacek, Barnes, Larsen and Christensen; the 4 x 100 meter relay ofBJ Pauley, Christensen, Barnes and Kosmacek; and the 100 and 200 meter races of Jared Graham. Graham won the 100 but pulled his hamstring in the 200 that same day. The team held a strong mental atritude throughout the season. Despite the injuries they remained "Fast and Furious."

By Kelsey Miller 111e girls track season staJ.ted with two indoor meets at South Dakota and Iowa State University to prepare for the regular outdoor season. They knew where they were and they knew where they wanted to get. They staJ.ted out the season with goals in mind and achieved many along the way. ''Many of the mistakes we made at the beginning were from inexpe1ience," Coach Pat Dalton said. Placing 1st at Treynor seemed to be the turning point, though, for the whole team. 'We staited getting what we needed from each individual. It seemed like their heart and desire started to show," Dalton said. The following meet at Underwood the girls placed second, closely behind Audubon. Following the track meet at Underwood the girls found out who qualifed for Drake. Kosmacek qualified in the 100 m dash, L. Nanninga qualified in the 100 m dash and 100 m hurdles. Also the 4 x 100 team of L. Nanninga, Kosmacek, A. Nanninga and Missy Banier qualified. TI1e little w a rnin g at Drake R e lays s h owed the s tate j u st h ow muc h che g irls w ante d to w in. Eig ht girls were selected to run a t che state track meet. After nmning their heaits out the team received fourth place overall. As another track season came to an end, the girls really found out why they mn trnck. Many of their reasons differ but in most cases the outcome is 1e same. Their in it for the win. And this season, that is exactly what they did. 2000 Girls Track Team : Front: Coach Susan Wedemeyer, Julie Leonard, Sarah Manhart and Laura Nanninga.

Between homework, practice, game nights, work and just findin 0 time to relax and have fun, students are busier than ever. Students are able to pend th ir time in a variety of different ways. Being involved in sports or having an after school job are a few examples of h w some teenagers choose to spend their time. For those who have to or choose to work after school, making time for schoolwork or friends might be hard to manage. Having to work after a frantic day at school may be hard for some teenagers who need some obvious sleep. Stressful workdays may often lead to last minute assignments. Athletes face an even different situation. 0 Dedicated to everyday practice and late nights after games, student athletes are always on the run. Almost every minute they are not in school, athletes are spending time practicing or working out for their teams. Yet some students still find other ways of spending their free time. Whether pla) ing in a band or just sitting at home on the couch in front of the TV, everyone , er ms to find time for a little chaos in his or her life.

Spirit Week, however, breaks through the layer of tediousness. It is in this week students define their school spirit and enjoy a few much needed di versions. The days of Spirit Week provided students with an opportunity to show their wild side and poke a little innocent fun at their peers. The days designated by the Homecoming court included Monday's Pajama Day followed by Hawaii an Day, Nerd Day and 70' s Day. Friday sealed the deal wi th the traditional Black and Gold Day. The week preluded Homecoming, therefore, it was full of excitement for the upcoming football and vo ll eyba ll ga mes a nd Saturday ' s Coronation of royalty. For older students it was another part of the Homecoming preparation . For freshmen , though, it was something entirely new. Freshman Mike Stamp said, "Spirit Week was really fun ; Nerd Day was the best! " Spirit Week was not the same as previous years. Simon Says took the place of the class pyramids and powder-pufffootbali and iron-man volleyball were instant hits. The juniors won the student rounds of both volleyball and football before taking on the staff teams in the championships. The championship matches provided a great amount of excitement for students and staff alike. In the end, juniors toppled the staff team in football, while the staff team prevailed in a grueling volleyball match . " It [the volleyball game] was great because the juniors gave the teachers a run for their money," Junior Katy Toler said. Overall , the senior class captured first place in the week's competition. Spirit Week defines the coming together of students, teachers and the community to get a little relief and excitement. The week was one where most everyone's attention strayed to a few essential diversions. Nerd Day bogg les so phom ore Lexi Beebe' s mind as she makes her way to class. Photo by Nicole Pauley.

Therefore, in the population has them, and the ones that do not want them . Cell phones keep people connected to th e world and give them a sense of belonging. Cell phones are one of the most widely used pieces of technology on the market today; they are a necessity. Many stud ents have cell phones as early as fourteen. They have become a great present to receive for a birthday or Christmas. "I got my cell phone from my parents two years ago when I got my permit," junior Jamie Ring said. Students that did not get thei r own cell phone bought it themselves. Junior Lauren Finken said, "I didn't get my cell phone as a present ; I bought my own cell phone last summer." People enjoy the use of cell phones and some could not live without them. Sophomore Elyse Miller said , "I can 't live without my cell phone because it is cheaper to use my cell phone than a regular phone. I also like the fact that people can get a hold of me .11 There are a select few that see no need for cell phones. Some do not like to use them and think they would be better without them. "I can live without my cell phone because I'm just too busy to use it. It's just easier talking load pictures from the Internet," sophomore BJ Pauley in the comfort of your own home," sopho- said . more Amanda Bahrke said. Sophomore Seth Parsons said , "They are not really an essential part of my daily life In th e end, cell phones have developed qu ickly and the makers keep on creating new and fun things for each. They are not too expensive, and, in case of an emergency, they can be a good thing to have. So, it's time to keep up with the world and its technology and go out and buy a cell phone! so I don't really need them ." One not only has a wid e selection of cell phones but also a wide selection of options and accessories to purchase with it. For instance, one may choose the faceplate color or ringer type .

The thought of the upcoming weekend was well at mind, and no student could wait until the three-thirty bell rang to end the school day. The everyday tasks of a well mannered school day had taken its toll. The students minds and bodies needed the rest only a two day weekend could provide. Hanging out with friends at the mall or sitting down with the family, the students enjoyed the rest any way they could get it. Whether taking a trip to the local cinema or catching a bite at a favorite restaurant, the students were relieved of the hardships of school life. Some students found time in the weekend to polish up on some old skills such as bowling and ice skating. I hang out with my friends ," said junior Lauren Finken . Others, wanting simply to relax the mind, choose tasks requiring less skill, such as reading and listening to music.

Although weekends are thought of as fun , to some they intailed hard work. " I have to work on the weekends," sophomore Jordan O'Neil said. Jobs that occupied a weekend might not have been fun , but on payday the reward spoke for itself. When the checks rolled in, the other activities came to life and hours of work all paid off. Over the school year, most students enjoyed their weekends. How they spent them was decided on by the personal interests and how stressful their school week happened to be. The stressful five days of studying and learning can take a lot out of a student. That is why the weekend is a treasured privilege that no student takes for granted.

Pha ro b_v Tom Vog e . If one took a look down the halls on a normal school day, he or she would notice man y people, all wanting to be themsel ves. Some are funn y, some arc popular, some are intelli ge nt; all are di ffe rent. Students find a variety of ways to express themsel es and, to some extent, their individuality. Students may join a variety of classes and organi zations that allow them to express themselves. Artists might join one of Mrs. Susan Wedemeyer' s art classes. Those called to create mu ic could go see Mr. Simons or Mrs. Clau en. The pians could join the Speech and Drama Club. If none of those classes or organi zations app al to students, they can always sport a funky ·do to express themselves . Many liked to show their personality and style wi th their l air. Some dyed it or even spent 30 - 45 minutes each morning styling it. Seeings as how the dress code was not too hard-nosed, students also dressed almost however they wanted to express themselves. Whether students dreamt of being a "thug gangsta" or a "cowboy", they showed it off with their clothes. Some simply agreed with freshman Nicole thomas when she said, "I wear what I like." The way students expressed themselves did not end there, though. Even how they spoke was a large part of who they were. Whether they swore or even spoke in Ebonics, students' speech allowed them to express themselves. Students' lockers were as close as they got to the ir own rooms, so most chose to decorate it as such. Desiree Sigler said, "It started with a few pies, and then things just got thrown in and never taken out." No matter how students chose to express themselves or show a little individuality, they all remembered to just be themselves, because self-expression is all about students being themselves .

Senior Devin LeBaugh offered one cause, "Class is boring so it is easy to fall asleep." Constant nodding may occur because students do not get the recommended eight to ten hours of sleep the night before. For example, freshman Andy Bowen said, "I don't sleep at night, so I do it during class." While sleeping in class may not bother those who doze, most teachers believe it distracts other students and the student sleeping does not learn the material. In keeping with his normal humorous self, Mr. Jeff Fah said, "I encourage sleeping ; it keeps them from talking." Most teachers probably do not approve or encourage sleeping as much as Fah , but wheth er the teacher approves or not sleeping appears to be eminent. In the end, it is up to each student to keep his or her heads up and his or her mind on track.

"the ability to be turned or moved" Fitness and dieting fads come and go, and the trend now in the limelight is Yoga. Every fitness aficionado cannot seem to get enough of this back-bending sport. Yoga is an ancient holistic approach to fitness and spirituality. It is believed to have originated over 5,000 years ago out of Stone Age Shamanism , which is the basis of modern Hinduism. This formerly unknown activity took the country, Tri-Center students included, by storm . Reasons for taking Yoga vary, but the results are evident. By engaging in a series of positions such as the free hand-head bridge and the standing canine, participants reach a relaxed state of mind and tone their muscles. Mrs. Rhonda McKenzie plans on signing up for Yoga. "I want to do Yoga to get rid of all the stress," McKenzie said . Senior Danielle Sigler participated in Yoga and liked how it made her feel. "Yog a is relaxing and it keeps your muscles toned, too," Sigler said. The sequences of positions in Yoga are sometimes awkward and the sport itself requires mental and physical commitment. Whether the Yoga fad sticks or not remains to be seen, but it is here for now and students are bending o er backwards to be a part of it. Senior Marie Corrin presents one of her favorite Yoga positions. Corrin uses Yoga to relax and to get more physica lly fit.

At Fun Plex they rode gocarts, the tilt-a-whirl , the spider, bumper cars and a ferri s wheel. They al so hit in the batting cages and played arcade games. Post-Prom fun did not end at Fun Plex , however. Prom goers headed to a Best Western Hotel where a hypnoti st awaited the ir arri va l. The hypnotis picked volunteers to go up and be hypnoti zed. For some it worked and for some it did not. The hotel provided a small breakfas t, then the buses headed home where most went to bed and others continued with the prom fun .

One of the most important was probably the actual graduation ceremony. The students entered to "Pomp and Circumstance" and left to "Fanfare and Recessional ." Chosen earlier in the year were the class motto, colors and fl ower. The Cl ass of 2003' s motto was: Life is what we make it always has been, always will be. Class colors were black and gold and their class fl ower was a yellow rose. At the encl of the ceremony Mrs. Tami Harman concluded by recognizing all awarded scholarships.

Each year more and more of these personalities are gained or lost with new students coming in and other students graduating. Each individual brings with them their own distinct traits and feelings. Having an open mind and a spontaneous personality allows anybody and everybody to express themselves with one another. With a plentiful assortment of differences and distinctions, there isn't much room for disagreement. No matter what distractions get in the way, everyone seems to come together in the end. Not too many things seem to distract or influence a change in friendships. Tm ting in lI.J ,.......] CL f2 CL what you believe and influencing one another helps to make everyone happy.

The recipe for the successful school year included ingredients such as teaching class, feeding the students, keeping classrooms in good shape and keeping the school in running order. The strife of a school employee is very much valued to the publjc eye. Hoping to help the yo uth of the community become producti ve adults of the future, the whole staff strived to give the students the total educational fulfillment they required. The esteemed staff worked hard each morning and , for some, each ni ght. The tasks might have varied, but the effort they put into them was spectacul ar. No matter how long the day seemed to last, they toughed it out and overcame any temptation to fall short. Their hard work did not go unrecognized. The student body appreciated a group of committed people that could be counted on every day. This appreciation was also shared among fellow staff members.

Whether it's with the style of clothes they wear or the attitude they cop, celebrities have a resounding impact on the youth of America. Eminem was one of the most recognizable and influencial artists. Eminem's fans were all over the country and came from many different backgrounds. This rap superstar was not your typical role model. Famous for his profane lyrics and explicit content, Eminem had followers to his music, attitude and clothing style. Eminem was just one of several stars who used teens own natural rebellious notions to catapult themselves into the limelight. Christina Aguilera was another pop star who was extremely popular among the middle school students. Aguilera's new look broke her away from such "cookie cutter'' pop princesses as Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. Not ashamed of herself or her style, Aguilera rode her new rebellious look all the way to the tops of the charts and into the fore front of pop culture. With the fad of "boy bands" quickly and thankfully dying out, one former pop prince broke out of his old bubble gum ways. Former N*Sync member Justin Timberlake shook up the nation.

Academics are the main reason teenagers have to stress over getting homework done and studying for important tests or quizzes. In addition to other extracirricular activities students are involved in, due dates for homework assignments or upcoming projects are always looming on kids' minds. Whether students enjoy studying or not, most would agree that it is good for them. Preparing for future tasks beforehand may help to take a little pressure off of some students' busy lifestyles. By staying on task and limiting procrastination, students limited the amount 0 of anxiety attained throughout the school year. With all assignments come the nervousness, stress, and responsibility to get everything done and in on time. Handling everything at once may be too much to handle for some students. The amount of repsonsibility a person has depends on how much attention one can pay towards academks. Even though every student had a different learning style, academics was obviously a main responsibility for most for nine long months.

According to Mr. Dan Elliott, social studies can best be described as " the study of people in thei r surround ings.,. I n the vari ou~ social studies classes students studied people and their infl uences in many different ways. In Sociology students studied people and their relationships as well as the bele ifs and values of others . Psych9 logy was the study of the brrun, and so students looked at the mind and mental and emotional processes. In American History students saw ho\\ past events have affected people. Another history class, the Sixties, was completely devoted to a period in history when many started questioning e verythi ng they had always known. Economics dealt with the economy and how it affects people, while l nternational Politics dealt with other countries and how they affect others. One required class for seniors was Government. fn Govern ment students learned about the Uni ted States government. One important aspect of the U.S. government is how the President is elected. Learning about the government and how to participate i very important. To many seniors it gives them the oppo1tuni ty to fee l in volved in how the country is being governed . A few required classes for freshmen were World History and World Geography. In World History one major topic I arnt.>d about was the Induatrial Revolution, which was a giant leap for production and manufacturing. Worl d Goeography was not ju I landmasses and where they are located ; students learned about the culture and the people li ving there.

Activities ranging from instrumental music to community service provide students with a wide variety of oppmtunity to be involved in and committed to organizations they enjoy. Whatever reason students decide to join a group or activity is based up n what interests them. Some students, for instance, who enjoy helping others and improving the community join ASTRA. Others, however, choose to express themselves in a different way by joining the Speech Team or participating in the Spring Play. Music is a common interest for most students, and with so much variety involved, music catches the attention of many individuals. Popular choices among students are singing for Choir, playing for Band, or even twirling flags for the Satin Knights. Other organizations offered to students are Drill Team, Cheerleading, FFA, Student Council and NHS. All provide great opportunities for students to express th ir unique interests and abilities, while at the same time provide something for • ·eryhody to enjoy.

The members of the FFA were involved in many activities to improve the aesthetic val ue of the community as well as community morale. Some such activities included the annual fruit sale, road pickup and various other school improvement projects. To become eligible to j oin FFA one must enroll in an Ag. c lass and show an interest in particpating. FFA members must be hard-working, honest, responsible and excited about being involved. "!joined FFA to further my education of agriculture and par- ~ c: ...c::: ticipate in the many oppprtunities that FFA offers." said junior Eric Clark. Along with advisor Kevin Matulka, the officers for the FFA included President Joel Ruggles, Vice-President Cal eb Wohlers, Secretary Kelli Griener, Treasurer Eric Clark, Reporter Dustin Laver and Sentinel Brett Cook. The FFA faired well in the competiti ve aspect of the club. On October 2, the group placed 5" in the Southwest Soil Judging Contest. Thi s earned them a spot to compete at the statewide competition held in Ames. On October 19 the team, which included Wohlers, Clark, Laver and Ruggles brought home an eleventh place fini sh and a silver rating. FFA members also com- peted except.i onally well in individual events. Several different members pl aced in many different competitions at the Sub-Di strict FFA Contest. Finall y, members also enjoyed the more fun aspects of the club. One favorite event of the year included the game feed where members we re abl e to sample di ffe rent kinds of wild game. Another widely enj oyed ac ti vity was th e Trap S hoot. Thi s allowed members to show off their ski ll s by shootin g clay pigeons. The FFA truly had a successful season. Due to their devotion, the group accompl sihed a lot to help the community and improved their knowledge of agriculture.

If anything needs to be updated or changed in any way, many people have a say in how and what takes place. Students, teachers, and parents ai·e not the only ones backing the school. The community and all its businesses play a huge pait in everything that happens at sch ol. Many local community m 1111bers suppmt both the academic programs and extracitriculai· activities. They donate time and money when needed and may also provide some students with jobs at their own private businesses. They help the school, while in return the school and its students and staff help them. Jn the long mn, everyone in the community works together to improve the school and its surroundings; everyone plays his or her important roles in the process it tak s to improve the school. They ai·e willing to do whatever it takes and ai·e devoted to the end to help make something better for a place of both work and play. B~ A mber Finken Division 11 1 �"involving obligation or duties, dependable; reliable" r o sibl or many teenagers, a job is a way to show i dependence. They are independent and don't rely on their parents as much because they make their own money and don't have to ask for it. Common jobs of teenagers are restuarant servers or cooks, cashiers, and babysitters. Some only work on the weekends, however, some work during the week and/or on weekends. Most students can find jobs within or around their local community, but others go into the city to look for jobs. For example , junior Jessy Heimbaugh said , "Since I live in such a small community, all the jobs are already taken because everyone wants one, so now I have to go to the city to find a job." Some students do not have any jobs at all becau se of other extracurricular activities. For most their extracurricular activity is sports. Sophomore Beth Harris said , "I don't have time for a job and I would never see my family if I did." Wh at students do with the money they earn is anoth er story. Some have car or insu rance paym ents to make each month whil e others put it away and save it for a rainy day or even college. Some just use it to go shopping or to go out and do stuff on th e weekends . Some people think high school is a time to have fu n and not worry about working and all the responsibility th at comes with having Juniors Katie Barrier and Katy Toler work diligen tly to get all the groceries put away on a stocking day at Schierbrock's Grocery Store in Neola.

Jobs teach teenagers skills th ey may need when th ey are older and in the wo rk c force. They can teach them to manage their Q) ~ money wisely.

Senior Kim Nelson donates her time to YMCA Youth Volleyball and coaches the seventh grade team . She said, "I think it is neat how the girls are learning about the sport at such a young age, and it is fun to be a part of that and help teach them." Other outside activities that students participate in are community choir or volunteering at chu rch.

Tami Harman's activity of choice is singing in the Neola Community Choir. It gives her an opportunity to sing since she doesn't get to very often . Harman, who has sung for 12 years, said, ''The most memorable thing about Community Choi r is the closeness that we all have." Senior Angela Krohn also sings in the choir. "My most memorable moment was having to start over during a performance because the tape broke," Krohn said. With all the different opportunities available in the surrounding communities, there's something for everyone. t Random 113 �t150 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: Front: Kelsey Miller, Laura Nanninga, Lindsey Obermeier, Sara Withers, Andri Cohen, Angela Krohn, Tomi Toler.

Colophon 13 t �defined "to have explained, to have described, to have interpreted" As the summer approached, students began preparing for freedom. Cleaning out lockers, studying for semester tests and graduation were all common occurences. Many things have helped to define the 2002-2003 school year. Girls athletics especially helped to put Tri-Center on the map. The senior led volleyball team had a record setting season at 31-5-2. The basketball team also set a record for 5 on 5 basketball at 20-4 and advanced to State. Organizations also had an impact in defining the year. Marching Band, for instance, overcame the lack of numbers to achieve success. Another music organization, Show Choir had huge success and finished first at each competition. Others continue to define their school year in the summer to come by preparing for next year. "I' ll be spending my summer lifting for football and working out with other players," junior Jesse Kuhnle said. At the conclusion of the year, both students and staff reminsce. They look back on all the definin g moments and acti vities of the year and will remember some for the rest of their lives.

Excitement filled the halls as students found their friends and exchanged each other's schedules for the upcoming semester. Another year of activities, sports and busy organizations was about to begin. The beginning of each new school year brings along with it the opportunity of a fresh new beginning. New classes, new teachers and new students gave each individual the chance to start the year off on a good note. Because the amount of activities offered to students is much greater at the high school level, many students took advantage of the wide variety and participated in many different activities associated with the school. Choir and Student Council, for example, were the popular choices in the organization category. No matter what time of the year it was or what activity was going at that time, students were always busy and very much involved. An optimistic and willing to do anything attitude propelled the student body to make the school year one to never forget.

Opening 3 �THE REAL WORLD Many activities bring students together. Hanging out with friends, going to a game or getting ready for Homecoming are just a few of those events. Even outside of school, students need to learn new things and explore the real world. Such activities give them an opportunity to be with their peers and do that exploring. Weekends and summer vacation are when students explored their world the most. Going with friends to the mall on the weekends or even going on trips with them in the summer were ways of experiencing the real world. The real world of a student is in the way they experience life. To learn about the real world is important because soon students will venture out into it on their own. Students experience the real world in these many different ways to give them a better understanding of what it is all about. Even though students may not realize that they are expanding their knowledge of the real world while at the mall, they accually are. They are learning how to be a concencious consumer, what a good advertizement is and much more. The real world is a tricky place and higl:1 school is the time for students to explore it.

Division 5 �Students and staff enjoyed t he f reedoms of su111me1A No 8oundaries Ahh ... summer-every student's favorite time of year. Summer means freedom and no boundaries. It means stress free days of no homework, teachers or tests. The blissful feeling it gives one's mind and soul cannot be fathomed . Whether it was vacation, sports, camps or just hanging out, students always seemed to find a way to enjoy their summers. Sophomore Tony Hubbard said on an average summer day he "hung out at the Dickerson's and swam a lot." Money was a much-needed thing to have on such free days. The desire to find a job struck many students. Sophomore Dana Schierbrock, for instance, got a job at the new community center in Neola where she worked at the front desk. However, students sometimes didn't have as much free time as they wish they had. Driver's Ed, gruesome, early morning ball practices, work or any other activity that required heavy scheduling and left the mind in a stupor, perhaps caused students to look forward to the end of summer and the relief of ceasing activities. Freshman Jake Clevenger had a hectic schedule due to Driver's Ed and baseball. He said it was difficult being in both because he "was constantly at school and had to wake up early to lift weights." Sheer boredom may even be the reason for wanting summer to end. "I get bored during summer, so towards the end I'm ready to go back to school," sophomore Vanessa Vaughn explained . As a whole, many would probably have to disagree. So even if summer isn't a favorite time of year or a chance to relax, students would still have to admit that it's nice not having to wake up at the crack of dawn to sit in a classroom all day.

During Spirit Week students and staff alike dress up not only to have fun, but also to show school spirit by participating in the week's activities. The week started out with students making themselves over as hobos and hillbillies. Tuesday was Hawaiian Day and the newest day, Famous Couples Day, followed on Wednesday. Thursday was Halloween Costume Day, while the traditional Black and Gold/Crazy Face Paint Day closed out the week. Students all had their favorite day. Senior Jamie Ring said she enjoyed Halloween Costume Day "because we are too old now to trick-ortreat, so this gives us a chance to let the kids inside all of us come out." Senior Chase Means said his favorite day was Hillbilly/Hobo Day "because people looked funny." With the traditional class competition, the seniors and sophomores battled it out all week. In the end the seniors came out on top with the sophomores close behind. The juniors placed third and the freshmen took forth. Most students enjoyed dressing up throughout the week and "making fun" of people. Spirit Week means many different things to students, but, as Ring commented, it is mostly "a chance to laugh freely at people and make school fun ." v 0 ~ Junior Josh Goodsell, with his giant afro wig, shows his school spirit for Black and Gold Day.

Spirit Week lJ �Students enjoyed the glitz and glamou1~ of Homecoming night Who Wants to be a Ml111onalre Homecoming night, "A Night with the Stars," was a night for all to remember; it wasn't just a time to crown royalty, but also a time to make memories to cherish . The king and queen candidates included seniors Joe Ausdemore, Eric Clark, Troy Courtier, Amber Finken, Lauren Finken, Kelli Greiner, Jesse Kuhnle, Jamie Ring, Elizabeth Thielen, Brandon Vorthmann, Kyle Welbourne and Stephanie Wellman . The night started out with a review of Spirit Week displayed as a slide show. The candidates then danced before their introductions followed in the usual routine . The crowning of royalty finally came, with Ring and Courtier crowned Princess and Prince. Thielen and Vorthmann were crowned Queen and King . The night was an experience of a lifetime for the entire court. Prince Courtier said, "It was fun and I enjoyed it a lot. The best part was when they announced my name for prince; I was shocked ." For the court especially, the night was an unforgettable experience. It was perhaps a small glimpse of what it would be like to live the life of a millionaire.

Homecoming 13 �Road Rules On March 2s 1h many alarm clocks rang at 3:30 a.m. for close to 45 students and four chaperones headed to Washington D.C. The buses took off for the airport at 4:30. They loaded the plane and began the four-day, three night trip. It would be like their own Washington D.C. "Road Rules". Each day was packed full of things to see and do. On the day of arrival, they ate lunch at Union Station . They also visited the capital and had a sit-in with the Senate and the House of Representatives who were in session . Senior Kathryn Toler said, "I liked that we got to see our government in action, but the long wait wasn't very fun ." The travelers also visited and toured many memorials. The Jefferson Memorial, the FDR Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and the Korean War Memorial were among those. The students and chaperones also laid a wreath at the Vietnam Memorial, where senior Kyle Welbourne delivered a brief speech in honor of the Vietnam veterans. By: Jessica Heimbaugh "Going to the memorial and giving a speech made me realize the impact those men and women had on the United States," Welbourne said . On the Spirit of the Potomac, the students and chaperones enjoyed a buffet dinner and a dance. Junior Kent Harryman said, "In the beginning the cruise was kind of boring, but it turned out to be awesome in the end and I had a lot of fun ." Sadly all the exciting and educational activities had to come to an end . They returned home late Sunday evening, March 28'h · When returning to school on Monday, they shared many pictures and stories of how much fun they had. Many memories were made and many historical monuments were remembered on their adventure of the Washington D.C. "Road Rules".

Fame On Saturday, May lst the juniors and seniors and some underclassmen experienced their own night of fame. Students had the chance to make the night their own and share memories that would never be lost. With the help and support of sponsors Mrs. Julie Coffey and Miss Kim Sherman, the juniors tackled their assignments early and worked together to plan and organize a great Prom . Both new sponsors came in with fresh and unique ideas, and groups were assigned or desinated projects such as the banquet planning, gym decorating and invitations. After a vote on themes to create the gym into a fantasy for one night, it was decided guests would be having a "Midnight Stroll." The fame of the "Midnight Stroll" consisted of a garden-orientated scene with an outdoor vibe. In the meantime, parents of the Post Prom Commitee worked hard give the students a fun-filled night after the dance. The Mardi Gras themed Post Prom provided many different games and activities. The students got a taste of casino fun with fake money and grand prizes, while Sumo wrestling and jousting also provided great fun and laughter to all. "Post Prom was a lot of fun and anyone could see how hard the Post Prom Comittee worked to give an awesome night," junior Alison Carroll said . Throughout the night, everyone experienced their own piece of fame, which would be memorable for all. Elegantly dressed guests and beuatiful decor made the night unforgetable for a lifetime.

They not only get smarter, but also learn life lessons that will stick with them thourghout their lives. Learning which classes one enjoys and the type of person one will become can change many times during high school. As freshmen students make new friends and enjoy the new high school experiences. As sophomores they seem to mature and realize the future is fast approaching. Junior year brings many new chal- lenges. It hits students with such tasks as preparing for the ACT test and looking at colleges. The final senior year brings back past memories, feelings of happiness and a little sadness of leaving the place they perhaps grew to both love and hate. The people in one's class have seen both the good and bad days; they saw the bad haircuts in grade school or even the sickness in music class. They were always there when they were needed to talk to and they share the same memories. For the seniors it is the time to recall all that happened in the past, but for the others it is the time to create memories to look apon when their senior year comes.

They were not considered, however, just as teachers; they acted as and were considered like big brothers. They were an inspiration to everyone. Teaching, advising and keeping the kids under control were some of the tasks and duties of the school staff. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to do those and much more. "It's not just an 8 to 4 job; it's beyond that. It is more like a 2417 hour job. It takes a lot of work.

Survivor When the sun came up on the morning of August 18th, 2003, members of the Class of 2004 were finally able to experience one of the most anticipated feelings of their young lives - becoming a high school senior. Famous for supposedly being "one of the best years of your life," the class of 2004 stopped at nothing to make it just that. Deteremined to make the most of their year to "rule the school," many sen iors took the initiative to have no regrets at the end of the school year. They survived their schooling by working hard when it mattered the most and still found time for fun and relaxation; it was their year to shine. 32 People Senior Andrew Andersen tries to recover from eating several pieces of pumpkin pie at the Thanksgiving Dinner.

The juniors had much talent and used it in many ways. One way the talent stood out was the athleticism of those ladies and gentlemen. A good number of both boys and girls participated in the majority of sports; for instance, the varsity volleyball team had seven juniors, while the football team had six juniors. Junior Derrick Danker said, "I enjoy going out fo r footba ll because I enjoy running down the tunnel." They were talented, though, not only in sports but also in many other activities. Choir and Band, for example, w ere other activities commonly chosen among the juniors, as w ere fl ags, ASTRA, and Student Council. Junior Lexi Beebe, who was involved in Student Council said, "I w ent out for Student Council because I wanted to get more involved in school activities." 34 People �JUNIORS 3 2258 00014 0182 Megan Albers Sarah Anderson Landon Ausdemore Wendy Ausdemore Amanda Bahrke Missy Barrier Lexi Beebe Andy Berg Shaun Brockhoff Raymond Bruck Lauren Burbridge Allison Carroll Derrick Danker Shannon Dickerson Colburn Dittmer Wade Garren Alisha Gau Josh Goodsell Beth Harris Kent Harryman Shelby Haugaard Brent Hough Bryan Larsen T.J.

MA De With the start of their second year of high-school, the sophomore class finally made themselves a place amongst their fellow students, finding a comfortable niche in the hustle and bustle of high school affairs. Fresh man year is often the scariest with new activities and harder classes, but it can also be a social strugg le to fit in. "I think sophomore year is much better, because when you're a freshman you're kind f cared and not used to everybody. Now you can walk up the halls and be yourself," sophomore Austin McCool commented . The class of 2006 was close, and many of them felt they could rely on each other no matter what. "As a class, I think we get along pretty well," sophomore Kristen Ungrad observed. "We might not always hang out together, but we still get along."

As eighth graders they were the "big dogs", but as freshmen =..::..:::;;;;;;::::,.;,;;.;:;;,;-__, they became the "underdogs". The freshmen w ere not actually underdogs, though . They were competitive in both academics and extra-curricular activities. The freshmen made a bold stand in the first semester by having more than 25% of their entire class on the honor roll. Freshman Tommy Stangl agreed . He said, "High school is different but a lot better because we can be in the lobby instead of a homeroom before school starts." With this smart and talented class, they will go far and enjoy the rest of their high school days. There's a lot ahead of them and more memories, events, and adventures to come . 40 People �Becky Barrier Mandeigh Brockhoff Wes Clark Jake Clevenger John Clevenger Melina Cohen Cayla Collins Chet Cyr Courtney Davis Trisha Dea Caitlin Divelbess Mary Jo Duncan Tyler Finken Justin Gale Jacey Garren Adam Gau John Graham Katie Hanken Sammy Haugaard Nathan Hensley Laura Hood Rodney Hubbard Sheyna Huddle Rachel Huebert Jacob James Austin Kay Annie Kenealy Danielle Kosmacek Andy Manhart Josh Mark Grant Marshall Meghan McDonald Justin McEvoy Kelsey Messerschmidt Hilary Nelson Olivia Nelson Freshmen 41 �FRESHMEN Jessica Nowlin Connor O'Neill Bryan Olsen Megan Osbahr Kristin Parker Kaitlyn Pauley Kurt Pauley Cody Pester AngieReed Nicole Richey Amber Richtig Brandy Ring Missy Ring Tricia Robertson Cassie Ronfeldt Christie Schoening Rachel Schoening Emily Schroder Carly Siebels Jonathan Smith Tom my Sondag Tommy Stangl Dustin Taylor Josh Torneten Lacey Tritsch Amelia Tuel Colton White KatieWiges Matt R.

Candids 43 �When students come to the end of their high school career, they look back and usually remember the younger years in elementry and/or the later years in high school; the most forgotten time is middle school. Middle school is the time when young men and women look for the stars inside of themselves. They try to figure out where they belong by getting involved in music, sports and other activities. They want to have friends and they just want to fit in and be stars in their peer's eyes. Along with getting involved to fit in, the students try to dress right Above: Eighth grader Michele Manhart plays the bass clarinet. Photo by Sarah Anderson. Right: Seventh graders Kyle Fischer and Dan McPhillps try to study for a big test. Photo by Sarah Anderson. and choose the right kinds of music to listen to. The social aspect and being in the "in crowd" is important to the students. They also had classes and grades to keep up, although . Classes seem to get harder, and homework seems to pile up more each day. When these students look back, they will remember the times spent in sports, music and many other activites. They will also remember making new friends and trying to figure out where they belong . Middle school can be the forgotten time in ones life, but middle school truly determines the way young kids will live their life. �By: Allison Hill Right: Coach Mike Larsen and eighth graders Jared Carroll, Monte Larsen and Kurt Spomer, take a quick time out in an AAU basketball game to talk about plays.

The school, for instance, offers a wide variety of classes for all, and a major challenge for students is deciding which classes to take. The many required classes can make a schedule difficult to organize, while it can be fun choosing electives. While required courses limit one's ~ schedule, electives give them some freedom. Deciding on the electives to fit one's schedule and interests is a big part of the uniqueness of his or her personality. The school offers many electives, and they give one the opportunity to be involved in an area in which he or she may someday want a future. Senior Michaela Gray advised, ''Take as many electives as you can. A wide variety will show you what you may want to do in the future." Going through high school, many learn the importance of experimenting in both the required and elective classes they take. By getting a wide variety, they gain a better understanding of what their future may be and/or hold. Sophomore Beth Crozier shows off her beautiful art work. Photo by Desiree Sigler.

American History, World History, World Geography, International Politics, Economics, Sixties and Government are a few of the classes in which students studied the past wars and other events that caused reoccurring and current problems in both the country and the world. Freshmen Hilary Nelson and Meghan McDonald both agreed that it is important to learn about Geography. "With the war in Iraq its important to know where all the army bases are and where the war is located and important things in the country that could have helped cause the war." In these classes Mr. Carl Cochran, Mr. Larry Hornbostel and Mr. Dan Elliott educated the students about past wars and past problems, so students could learn from them and try not to let those problems happen again in the future. For example, in Government students learned about the American government in both the past and present. They studied caucuses, primaries and elections, for instance, to learn how they work, when they take place and the purpose of each . American History and World History, taught the students about the history of the world along with America's past wars and conflicts .

Social Studics6-6- 57 �By: Missy Ba1-i-ier Bul1dln9 Character Throughout the year the science and agricultural classes kept busy and worked hard while building their character. Students completed labs, judged dirt, planted plants and flowers and participated in a number of other activities. Miss Cassie Keogh taught Physical Science, Biology, and AP Biology, while Mr. Jeff Fah taught Chemistry and AP Chemistry. Within these classes students completed units and labs on subjects such as scientific laws, chemical reactions and solutions. They also did projects which required researching, such as the Physical Science brochures on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Mr. Kevin Matulka was in charge of the agricultural and landscaping classes. Landscaping students prepared and planted flowers, FFA Issues students worked on farm accounting and coordinated FFA activities and Horticulture students learned how to grow and transplant plants while studying varieties and the kind of care for each one. Senior Dean Grote said, "learning about money management in an agri business is important and w ill come in handy for many ag. students in the future." Students are required to earn six science credits and elective credits. This made these science and agricultural classes filled w ith eager, ready-to-learn students w ho built their character everyday.

Students chose from a variety of business, computer and math courses. Most took the classes to learn techniques recommended for certain majors they may pursue. The classes often prepared them for what to expect. Miss. Kim Sherman, a newcomer, taught Applied Math, Consumer Math and Geometry. Applied Math covered basic usage, fractions, tables and graphs. Fundamental operations, money records, and banking transactions made up the Consumer Math curriculum. Geometry students learned how to reason proofs and properties of geometric figures. Although the material and skills were important, students didn't always like them. Freshman Amelia Tuel said, "I didn't like having to remember the proofs and theorems." Mrs. Holly Jarrett taught Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra 11, PreCalculus/Trigonometry and A.P. Calculus. Students studied the upper level skills of arithmetic as well as abstract concepts and the real number system . Pre-Calculus introduced calculus, and students studied angles and triangles in Trigonometry. In A.P. Calculus students investigated topics of limits, curve sketching, trigonometric integrals and techniques of integration. Students felt upper level math was tougher. Junior Jake Richey said, ''Trigonometry is hard because you have to memorize all the steps to each problem." Accounting is another math or business class. Students completed basic addition and subtraction . Teacher Mr. Brett Nanninga said, "By the end of the year, we learn the whole accounting cycle, which includes things like financial statements, ledgers, bank reconciliations and automated accounting." Mrs. Glenda Kunze taught three levels of Computer Applications as well as Marketing and Workplace. In Marketing the students made and advertised their own products. Workplace students learned things like how to prepare for and go through interviews. Senior Katie Barrier said, "I like Marketing because you get to be as creative as you want." These courses prepared studentsll:zt'----··--··-· and helped them understand things that r-;:111=-----""-'~--._.;.~-­ will happen as they go on through college and become workers.

Students went to the Junkyard Wars to turn what some would consider junk into the basis of English, Spanish, and art classrooms. In English classrooms students read various novels, wrote essays and reports, gave speech presentations and learned the basics of the English language. Freshmen and sophomore students took English classes under Mrs. Sarah Elliott, while juniors and seniors studied under Mr. Jim Dermody. Seniors had the chance to earn college English credit but it took a lot of hard work. Advanced Placement Literature and World Literature classes were offered to those seniors. Some students enjoyed the activities of those classes and enjoyed experiencing new material. "I really enjoyed all the different books that we got to read, " senior Jessica Heimbaugh said. Spanish students experienced a big change in their classroom activities. The biggest change was their new teacher, Mrs. Julie Coffey. Coffey brought in more challenging material, however, for most students it helped them broaden their Spanish skills. Students got the chance to speak and interact with someone who could speak English as well as Spanish. "It's easier to have a teacher who can speak both languages. It helps us to understand the Spanish language easier," sophomore Matt Schultz said. Art students, taught by Mrs . Susan Wedemeyer, definitely went to the Junkyard Wars. Those hardworking individuals did projects that ranged from sketch art to designing coil and pinch pots. Graphic Art students advanced their computer skills, while Photography students posed their way to perfection . "My favorite activity that we did this year was making clay pots," senior Desiree Sigler said. English, Spanish and art classrooms exhibited great progress and hard work throughout the course of the year.

Eng/Span/Art 63 �EXHAUSTED Being involved in organizations is one of the many extracurricular activities that students can explore. While students may become exhausted, they also gain much for their time and effort. Vocal Music, lnsrumental Music and Speech give students the chance to express themselves. Students' talents are showcased in many concerts and contests. These students also provide the public with entertainment at events such as the Hoo Doo Day Parade and at football and basketball halftime shows. ASTRA, FFA, Student Council and National Honor Society give students the opportunity to give back to the community. Student Council also gives the student body a voice. These organizations provide students with opportunites to get involved and excell. Cheerleading and Drill Team are the support organizations. They cheer on and support the athletes at many events. The Drill Team gave the students and the community energetic prefomaces at the basketball games and represented Tri-Center at the state competion . All organizations give students opportunities to show their talents, give back to the community or just support the school. They all provide support and enthusiasim which caused students to excell.

Students in the Outspoken Drama Club found clever ways of using their voices to express themselves, while Mrs. Sarah Elliott distributed her knowledge of speech as the sponsor. The Contest Speech season began with Large Group at the District Large-Group Contest. Tom Voge and Niko! Thomas earned a Division II in lmprov, Jenny Speight, Megan Fischer and Jenna Palensky also earned a Division II in lmprov. The TV News group's broadcast was short in time and, therefore, earned a Division IV. The Individual Events season followed and was more successful. Close to half of the Individual Events participants at the District contest advanced to State due to extra practices in their own time. Senior Michaela Gray advanced in both Literary Program and Prose. Other State participants included Bethany Kuhnle and Missy Ring in Poetry, as w ell as Kaitlyn Pauley in Prose. Michaela Gray took the spotlight as the only senior and President in the club. "It didn't bother me being the only senior due to the fact I was almost always the only one in my class," Gray commented . Gray was also a letter winner and gained straight Division I ratings from all three judges on both of her events at State. Other letter winners included Kuhnle, Ring and Pauley. Performing as they are, the speech team will continue to entertain audiences with exciting and original pieces, hopefully, for many years to come.

Student Council and National Honor Society, lead by Mrs. Angela Huseman and Mrs. Tami Harman, worked on community service projects as if they were in boot camp all year long . For some projects and activites, for instance, Student Council organized a Drug Awarenes Week, sponsored and planned some of the Homecoming Week activities, and held and served at both the senior/faculty breakfast and the annual end-of-the-year cookout. Students joined for various reasons, just as they enjoyed or helped with various things. Senior Stephanie Wellman said, "I helped with ideas for projects and had a great time interacting w ith students I don't usually talk to." Although Student Council didn't accomplish as much as they would have hoped, they worked hard and were good at what they did. Student Council members did their best to improve the school and community. Some National Honor Society projects included the bloodmobile in November and a door-to-door fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis and Arthritis in April. The National Honor Society members also strived to make the school and community a better place. "National Honor Society gave me the opportunity to become more involved in the community," new inductee senior Cody Hubert said. Both Student Council and National Honor Society were productive.

Photo provided by FFA "I farm, you eat!" was the motto on FFA t-shirts. The Future Farmers of America helped carry on the tradition of learning the simple life by farming and improving the environment and community. To be involved in FFA, a student had to be enrolled in an Ag class and show they wanted to participate. Members had to be hard workers, honest, responsible and show excitement about being in FFA. The group took part in not only farming-type activities, but also many activities to help improve the community. For instance, they held their annual fruit sale and did road cleanup. Other high points or big activiies were the trip to Denver and trap shooting . FFA also took part in competitions. At the Soil Judging Contest seniors Brett Cook, Eric Clark, Kelli Greiner and Andy Olsen placed fourth in Districts to qualify for State. At the FFA Sub-Districts, hosted by Tri-Center, Cook, Greiner, Olsen and John Wollenhaupt advanced to Districts with golds in extemporaneous speaking, rad io broadcasting and welding . Others competing at Sub-Districts were Clark and Dean Grote in Ag sales and job interview. Sponsor Mr. Kevin Matulka had six officers to help carry out the organization's duties and activities. Those elected officers included Cook, President; Clark, Vice President; Griener, Secretary; Grote, Treasurer; Sarh Moen, Reporter and Johnnie Witt, Sentinel.

FF 71 �84: Stephanie Cross BENEFACTOR ASTRA. which stands for ability, service, training, responsibility, and achievement, is an organization that allows students to give back to their communities. Each student works to earn cumulative hours by doing community service work; Members earned hours by serving dinners at the Dorothy Day House, spending time in nursing homes, picking up trash along roads and much more. ASTRA also did miscellaneous actions around school to help earn money for the club. During Thanksgiving, for instance, they baked apple and pumpkin pies. The club also held a fundraiser to raise money for families in need of gifts for Christmas. For Valentine's Day, members sold "Crush" Pops and carnations for those who wanted to show their affedion. In the spring volunteers spent a day helping at the Special Olympics at Woodrow Wilson High School. "One of the most meaningful moments that occurred this year was helping Tommy Sondag's family by holding a bake sale; said sponsor Mrs. Kelly Alters. Students join ASTRA because of the blissful feeling they receive by helping others and their communities. They also join because it is a fun extracurricular activity with many rewards at hand . Awards are given to students who contribute the most hours throughout the year. Sophomore Samantha Manhart lent a helping hand setting up hurdles at home track meets. "I thought it was a really fun experience and you get to meet new people; she commented . Freshmen Chet Cyr's favorite part about being in ASTRA was "organizing the events they participate in and picking out prizes for each activity ."

Members included sophomores Jesi Bruck, Megan Fischer, Samantha Manhart, Nicki McCool, Emilie Ortman and Myckell Schenk, as well as freshmen Sheyna Huddle and Kristin Parker. Co-captains Ortman and Schenk, both second year letter winners, helped to lead the team to a Class V Porn fifth place finish at State. McCool said the best part of drill team was "going to practices with all my friends and our coach ." Hall was very proud of the girls this year. She said, "They were a great group of girls that worked together well as a team ." The cheerleaders also supported the athletes and raised the crowd's spirit. Seniors and co-captains Melissa Bailey and Ashley Schultz lead sophomores Autumn Collier, Erin Hanken, Alexa Hill, Kelsey Lugsch, Rachel Peters and Niko! Thomas, as well as freshmen Jessica Nowlin and Rachel Schoening. Bailey said, "When it came down to game time, every one performed really well even when it was cold ." The cheerleaders worked hard to learn the cheers. They attended a workshop in Essex as well as practiced all summer. Hall commented, "They were much more prepared this year." For the cheerleaders and the Golden Girls it was a successful year. All the hard work paid off as the groups performed well when it came down to it.

They had another great year as the Marching band and Satin Knights started off with two first place finishes at the Clarinda Parade and Field Competition. The Marching Band also competed against some of the best competition in the state at Valleyfest in Des Moines. The band earned third place honors in Class 2A. The department not only succeeded in Marching Band, but also in Jazz. The Jazz Band took home an overall Division II rating at the State contest and a I in the sight-reading contest. They later placed second in the WIC contest and third at a highly acclaimed District competition, barely missing qualifying for the Iowa Jazz Championships. The Concert Band also received a Division I at the State contest held at Abraham Lincoln High School. The band had not earned a I since 1989. With hard work, dedication, and sweat the students and directors Arla Clausen and Nate Simmons were busy "Making the Band."

"It was a very nice experience," senior Chase Means, lone All-State qualifier, commented. At the start of the school year, although competitions weren't for months, the Sensations were enthused to begin practices. In spring, they took that enthusiasm into their competitions with highlights such as lst place honors at both WIC and Johnston and a Division I rating at State. The Jazz Choir, another competitive group, also had a good year. They took second place honors at WIC and earned a Division II rating at State. The Concert Choir worked hard and performed well also. They sang in concerts and contests in addition to putting on a wonderful Variety Show for the enjoyment of all. Junior Shannon Dickerson said, "I love doing the Variety Show because you get to know people better and irs a great experience." Students earned 25 Superior I ratings and 13 Excellent II ratings at the Small-Group Contest. At the Large Group Contest, the Bass Clef, the Treble Clef and the Concert Choir all earned Superior I ratings. At the end of the year Director Arla Clausen resigned to move onto the college level. While choking back tears, she said, "Teaching at T-C has been the best ride. It's the love and dedication the students have for the music that made my job so fufilling."

Middle School Organizations 81 �TOUGH ENOUGH Throughout the year athletics provide things for both the participants and those attending. For those attending athletics can be social events and entertainment. For the participants, athletics teach responsibility and so much more while athletes see whether or not they are tough enough. Competing in a sport causes students to be more responsible and be able to manage their time, because they must arrive at practices and games on time. Athletes must have good time management to be able to complete homework between games, practices and other things. Being involved in athletics gives students a stronger feeling of competitiveness. Freshmen Sheyna Huddle, who participated in volleyball, track, and softball said, "Being involved in athletics gives us something to do instead of sitting around the house." Athletics at Tri-Center are supported by many. Students drive the distance to see their peers in action. Road trips give students a chance to hang out with their friends and the opportunity to show their school spirit. From Softball to Track, throughout the year all sports drew a crowd.

The Trojan baseball team did not just believe in themselves and each other, but also proved that they could accomplish anything. The athletes worked extremely hard in the off-season to prepare themselves for the summer season. The varsity roster had seven sophomores, five juniors, five seniors and only one graduate. Many young players stepped up to fill some major roles during the season. The young players the previous year were awarded a second chance to improve. Their youth did not show during the first four games, as the team went 3-1 with their only loss coming to stateranked Lewis Central in a well-fought game. The Trojans consistently battled through conference play. They went through several injuries of key players and suffered tough losses, but they persevered because of their work ethic and great character. They then made a late season run to go 7-3 in their last 10 games. "Our overall attitude was as good as any team since I've been at Tri-Center. We had great chemistry and work ethic, and it showed with our late season run," Head Coach Jim Dermody said. The highlights of the season came with wins over conference champion A-H-S-T and Missouri Valley in the District Championship. The team then battled with Sergeant-Bluff in the SubState Championship, but came up short to end their season at 13- 14.

The team had a great start with returning graduates Kim Bennett, Tina Clevenger, Laura Nanninga, and Tessa Wellman to provide experience and leadership. "We had girls with a lot of experience who played a particular position for three straight years," Head Coach Derek Sonderland said. The team set big goals for their season, such as going to State and winning the Western Iowa Conference. Those goals became a long stretch when the team suffered some injuries, however, the team did win the IKM Tournament, which Sonderland said "was a great accomplishment for the team."

Although the team didn't win as many games as they would have liked, finishing at 2-7, the players and coaches believed the season was a success_ Head Coach Dan Elliott said, "We improved as a team very much from the previous season." The coaches this season were Elliott and his assisstants Carl Cochran, Jim Dermody, Jeff Fah and Ray Peters. The team captains who also helped bring the team home two victories were seniors Cody Huebert, Jesse Kuhnle, Joey Pauley and Brandon Vorthmann. One fear these boys were not afraid to face was to work hard. They "put in a lot of extra effort and tried hard to make the season a big success," Elliott said_ Elliott also commented that one of the high points of the season was the "win against Boyer Valley, the first game of the season." Although the team did much better than past seasons, one weakness was still the low number of players; when one person gets injured irs hard to replace them if there aren't many players. One other thing that made the season more challenging for player is they had a very hard schedule. Brian Grote said, "I wish we could have played better the last two games because we had a good chance of winning both of them." Although these boys did not win the last two games they were still pleased with the outcome of the season.

The team also found leadership from returning letter winners Sarah Anderson, Wendy Ausdemore, Missy Barrier, Amy Nanninga, Heimbaugh and Thielen. Heimbaugh said about her career, #It was fun and enjoyable to get to know all of the girls more and more each year." The team succeeded in being crowned champions more than once. They won not only the Clarinda and TriCenter Tournaments, but also the District Championship. Other successes and highlights included placing second in the Western Iowa Conference and Runner-up in the Regional Championship. Individual players also received success and recognition .

The runners pushed and paced themselves to meet both team and personal goals in order to run amazing races. Sophomore Alica Fisher was the lone returning runner. She joined six freshmen to make up the team. Coaching for his first season, Coach Seth Grote was also new to the team. The team's main goal was for each individual to improve in every meet. Grote said, "Each runner improved because of hard work and dedication." Grote named the Western Iowa Conference meet as being a high point for the team. Each runner met his or her personal best place and/or time. Individually, Danielle Kosmacek and John Graham both placed 15th at WIC. Fischer, along with many top finishes, placed first at WIC and third at Districts. "I enjoyed this season because coach Grote made us work hard and kept us determined to do our best,· Graham said. The season was also enjoyed by Grote. He said it was ·a pleasure being with the kids and getting to know both them and the sport better."

To them it was a fun sport in which achievement depended on who was dedicated, who was willing to work hard and who had game. The 7-12 record showed improvement. Most of the games were close, with the team losing by just a couple of points. Head Coach Carl Cochran said, "We had several solid games late in the season and played well in parts of other games. The season, as usual, was filled with both learning experiences and memorable moments. For many, like juniors Landon Ausdemore and Colburn Dittmer, #beating Missouri Valley at their school," was a favorite moment of the season. Overall, the team was much improved from the previous season and, despite their record, they showed they had game. Heimbaugh. H Middle: Varsity subs show their support from the bench.

Photo by Coming off of last year's trip to the State Tournament, the team of 2004 looked to reach and surpass great heights. With the loss of just two seniors and experience under their belt, they worked hard to be contenders for their big goal , a second straight trip to the Barn. Although the Lady Trojans fell short of thier big goal, losing in the Regional Semifinal, they had a successful season. Memorable and tough games in the 18-6 season included games against Underwood, Audubon, Treynor and Carroll Kuemper. Another big accomplishment for the team was winning the District Championship game against Missouri Valley. Each player on the team worked hard in practice and games to come out on top. Coach Derek Sonderland was proud of the girls' effort and talent. "They are a great group of young ladies who work very hard, and I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with such talented people, Sonderland said. The girls' main goal was to return to the Barn in Des Moines for the State Tournament. Although they did not reach that goal, the team made great improvement through the season and have made high expectations for next season. Sophomore Kristen Ungrad is already looking forward to next season. 'We will just work harder next season and bring home the State Championship trophey,NUngrad said.

"These men worked very hard and strived to get better everyday. They wanted to be better than everyone no matter who their opponent was: Kozeal said. Seniors Cody Huebert, Andy Olsen, Brandon Vorthmann and Kyle Welboume served as leaders. Huebert and Olsen battled through the season in the discus. Welbourne was a hurdler and sprinter, while Vorthmann was a short-mid distance runner. All four ran track four years. NI will miss running the 4x800 relay with my teammates and the pumping up that we did before the race,· Vorthmann said. In hopes of reaching State in many events, the team prepared for Districts more than any other meet. Junior Wade Garren qualified in the shot put. Huebert in the discus, and Junior Colburn Dittmer in the high jump as well as in the 110 high hurdles. Vortmann qualified in the open 800 and Welbourne in the 400 low hurdles.

By: Sarah Anderson Middle School Sport 109 �PROJECT GREENLIGHT The local and surrounding communities of the school district continually support the school in a variety of ways. They give the school numerous donations of not only money, but also time and effort in order to help. Contributions help with, for example, additions and renovations, new equiptment and much more which are all greatly funded by the community. Without the help of community donations, raising money and getting workers for those projects would be difficult. For instance, the outdoor sports complex was completed because of the great efforts of the Athletic Boosters Club. While the community supports the school, many students give back to the community. Student clubs and organizations spend their time giving back. The National Honor Society, along with the Student Council, for instance, sponsored the Blood Drive and other activities. ASTRA helped the community by picking up trash along the highway and adopting needy families during Christmas. Community is important. The adults and students alike recognize the need to help whenever and wherever ·possible. Junior parent Mrs. Julie Harryman sells cookies at a basketball game in support of the Post Prom Committe.

The tsunamis were caused by a 9.0 earthquake centered in . the Indian Ocean off Sumatra. It was the most powerful earthquake in 40 years. The international community reacted quickly with aid amid fears about disease from the bodies and lack of clean water. A few stories of miracles came from the wreckage, such as a woman found alive floating in the Indian Ocean on a palm tree five days after the tsunamis. But tens of t11ousands were missing and may never be found. Many were tourists from around the world , including the United States, who had been enjoying the warm climate for the holidays. The internet became a focal point for people looking for loved ones in the region, as blog sites to news sources such as CNN enabled people to post information about missing friends and fam ily.

The people on these pages are vital lifelines that: can tie an entire student body together. V/1thout the links t:hat connect all of the grades and groups, TriCenter would JUSt be random blobs of people. Students are often closest with their friends, and their friends are a majOr factor of surv1v 1ng high school. Freshmen and sophomores acctuire as many friends as possible, realizing the chance of all those fri~ndsh1ps lasting are not very good. Juniors and seniors find friends that are priceless, and they will remember those friends when th1nk1ng back to the "good old days." Students have some of the best times of their lives and insert names of those included into the pages of the litt:le black oak. To some a little black book may JUSt be a list of names and numbers. To the beholder of the book, though, 1t 1s a map of his or her life; it 1s a book not filled names and numbers but with unique memories.

Many staff members had corny, crazy, or even nutty ways of doing their ~obs. Mr. Fah has been known for such ehav1or. One example 1s his demonstration o the shocking of static electr1c1ty with a static bcill. Senior icki McCool said, "The static ball was cool, but I forgot what VvJS taught." The staff wor ed hard to do their Jobs. The adm1nistrat1on Vvorked to "rule the school" and make sure everything went smoothly. The cooks prepared food everyday and added smiles vv 1th each meal. The custodians r:Jtl::::Jil~.. spent hours before and after school ma -1ng sure the campus and buildings looked their best. Bus drivers worked early and late hours getting students to and from school and act1vit1es. The staff spent extra time before and after school to help out the community. 63% of the staff members coached and/or sponsored extracurricular act1v1ties. Those who helped out 1n this way were important 1n • - • the success of teams, organ1zat1ons, and other act1vit1es. The staff not only did their JOb, but also cared about each student --~• individually. Staf members strived to help students reach their potent1cil \A.ihile performing cit tne best of their abil1t1es.

Coming into the year, the seniors were reminded t hat the school year was going to go by fast. For some Graduation could not come soon enough, while others were searching for more time to make vital decisions regarding t heir fut ure plans. /hether the reason was different or t he same for each senior, the ultimate question was, "Are We There Yet?"

Seniors �By: K.atie /iges The inevit.able "stupid freshm.an" no longer r.ang through their he.ads, nor did "V /ell, you have to do it bec.ause you're .an undercl.assmen." They were uppercl.assmen. Although being .a junior brought th.at glorified title, it .also brought .an incredibly l.arger, tougher war lo.ad. "L.ast ye.ar I h.ad time to do things jUSt for fun. This ye.ar I c.an h.ave up to three hou1'S of homework .a night. This ye.ar is w.ay tougher th.an l.ast ye.ar," commented junior Olivi.a Nelson. A big responsibility the junior cl.ass took on, .as every other Junior cl.ass did, w.as Prom. They were held responsible for everything from the fundr.aising that goes into the .annu.al event to deciding the theme .and the decor.ations. Another thing on the minds of m.any juniors 1s the ide.a of college. This is the time when the thought of the ACT's loom 1n their minds .and "wh.at are you going to do with your life?'' comes up .all too often. In spite of the 1ncred1ble amount of work, they m.ade it through the year with flying colors, ready to take on their senior ye.ar.

After some trci1ning, those 7 5 students made mciny transitions and strides from freshman year to sophomore year. First, they knew what to expect; they were no longer the freshmen who didn't know what to do or say. As sophomores they felt more power towcirds themselves and others. Therefore, they didn't get picked on quite as often. ~~~.. The biggest and best stride was turning sixteen. Most .. . . . sophomores turned sixteen during the year and were then able to drive most anywhere they wanted.

They try everything possible so they know what they like or dislike for the upcoming years. Sixth grader Nick Nielsen said, "I like having a locker."

Social studies classes helped students learn about places both far away and locally. In science and agriculture classes students learned how the earth works and why things happen the way they do. English and Spanish classes taught students how to speak intelligently. Math, business, and computer classes helped prepare students for the work force.

Ab It is important for students to know history. Without knowing where they have been, they have no way to say where they are going. Three high school teachers helped students learn that in a variety of classes which gave a "Blast from the Past." Mr. Carl Cochran taught three social studies classes. World History stud'ents studied the Industrial Revolution and England as well as important themes of history. The Geography class included map study as well as a look at the reasons that people live and act in different countries. American History class involved learning about the Reconstruction Era and issues leading up to present time. Sophomore Caleb Peters said, "I liked Geography the most because we looked 2t maps and they make me feel important." Mr. Dan Elliott taught Government, Psychology, American Hiswry, Econom ics, Sociology and International Politics. While the Government classes studied the U.S. government system, the International Politics students learned the U.S. foreign policy, actions of the United Nations, and current events. Psychology looked at human growth and development, and Sociology covered material over human 1nteract1on and groups. American History began with the Civil War leading up to the present. Finally, Economic students learned the different types of markets as well as principles of supply and demand. Mr. Hornbostel taught The Sixties. In the Sixt ies students studied not only the 60's, but also the 50's, the Vietnam War, and the ?O's. The social studies cl2sses t aught students various th ings which will help throughout high school and later on in life.

Perhaps these classes are "The Sum of All Fears." The school's updated and modern technology has greatly increased the opportunity for students to learn. Technology has allowed students to learn in a stimulating environment unlike many other schools. Students used and learned from much of the technology in math and computer or business classes. Mrs. Holly Jarrett as well as Miss Kim Sherman taught math classes. Jarrett taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, and AP Calculus, wl1ile Sherman taught Algebra I, Geo'11etry, and Statistics. Pre-Algebra covered equations/inequalities, rational numbers, and percents. Algebra II students learned how to solve systems of equations and inequalities, quadratic functions, and trigonomic ratios. The class of Pre-Calculus/ Trigonometry learned real numbers, functions, right triangles and the laws of sine and cosine. Finally. AP Calculus students learned to tackle limits, derivatives, and integrals. In speal!ng of h::r favorite thing about AP Calculus, said senior /\shley Wagrier "l/Je car move at ou:- own speed and 1f we need to spend another day on it Vve can." She1man's Al0ebr=i I and Geometry students learned properties of real numbers, d1f~'crent calculations reasoning proofs, and transformations and similarities. in St cit1stics the class studied hypothesis testing and probability concept s. Senior Alexa Hill said her favorite thing about Statistics was t hat "it's a small class cf all seniors, so it's nice." Mrs. Glenda Kunze taught Comput er Appl1cat1ons I, II, and Ill as well as the business classes of V/orkplace and Marketing. Junior Bryan Olsen said his favorite thing about Marketing class 1s "Creating new adds and listening to Mrs. Kunze." In Computer Apps. I, a required class, students studied V/ord Processing, Excel, and Access. Computer App. II students worked on PowerP01nt, Microsoft Publisher, and Microsoft Front Page. Workplace, an elective class offered only t o Juniors and seniors, helped students explore careers and understa'1d JOt:I 1nterv1ews, preparation, and skills. They also used PowerP01nt present ations.

Coffey allowed students to act out Spanish skits over vanous topics such as news reports, restaurants, and tal shows 1n order to make classes more fun. Fiestas also helped keep students interested.

Dontcitions in the form of time help the school in numerous ways. For instance, mciny people volunteer to work concession stands, athletic games or meets, and various other events.

Our legacy to the Boord of Education, the power of seeing through a stone wall, is given in order to sa ve the legatee from future serious disa ste r, and because it is evident that said legatee is expected by the community a t Jo rge to possess this g reat gift.

Middleton Principal SENIOR CLASS OF 1942 Edwin Talbott President The foregoing instrument was signed by the Class of 1942 in our presence and by them published and declared as and for their LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT and at their req uest and in their presence and in the presence of each other, we hereunto subscribe our hands this day and year. Nine A Trip to Heaven (A Closs Prophecy for Closs of 1942) S-s-s--, boom, tinkle. And I felt myself being hurled rapid! through space. I should hove known better than to appear in Miss Graber's English class without my assignment reod.y. I tried to catch hold of a cloud as I went by. Then I clutched at the moon, the planet Mercury, and the Milky Woy, but without avail. On I sped into Eternity. Then I stood before the Golden Gate . Saint Peter began to ask me questions a bout my innumerable post sins but any one with expe rience in giving excuses for things undone at Underwood High School has nothing to fear from a mere Saint I hod no trouble at all in persuading the old gentleman that I was more of a saint than he was, although Miss Olden and Mr. Dunlavy would quickly hove seen through my line of explanations. Saint Peter handed mo a slide trombone, explaining that they were all out of harps in Heaven, swung open the Golden Gate and there I was in Paradise . The first matter that caught my attention was a number of little cherubs se lling newspapers. I listened to the ir cries and this is what I heard : "Extra! Principal of Underwood High School is very sick! Grieving over loss of brightest boy in senior cla ss!" About this time I began to sprout wings, but I was aroused from this discovery by anothe r cry. "Extra! Extra! Principal Middleton hos died and gone to Heaven!" So I returned to the Golden Gate and stood on hour waiting . But nobody showed up. Finally there was on increase of shouting from the heavenly newsboys. "Extra! Extra! Principal Middleton does not show up at Heaven ." Wondering about Heaven several hours later I come upon a lot of angels looking through telescopes, and having a grand time laughing at what they sow. I procured a telescope, adjusted it, and there before my vision was the good earth, the town of Underwood and all my friends of Underwood High School. The sight was a little blurred so I twisted the adjustments, and beho ld there was the earth again in the year of 1970. W ell, well, I thought, here is a chance to see what my old friends ore up to. Usi ng my new immortal power, I ordered my telescope to focus itself. Sure enough, across the Atlantic it went. Across Ital y, Greece, and into Turkey. The City of Constantinople loomed up before my gaze, the palace of the Sulton . Yes, here was the inner Court of the Sul ton's harem-and-soy! Could it possibly be true . Sitting in majesty upon a throne, receiving the plaudits of the other ladies of the harem was none other than our own Donna Herrill. "Great work, ol d telescope," I said. " Now show me some of the other girls." It hesitated and wavered for a moment, then bock it streaked to the old home town ond up to a house with o sign in front of it "Old Ladies Home," and the re, sitting comfortably in the front room ploying checkers were Verle Herrick and Mary Killion, ond Betty Anderson wa s sitting watching them ove r her knitting. Poor girls, I always thought they hod better things in store for them than this. But on rushed my te lescope . North we scurried over Canada, and up to cold frigid Alaska. Here we Ten stopped before on Esk imo Igloo. The father of the family was away but ploying around the Igloo entrance were fourteen little Esk imo children. I soy Eskimo children yet they hod a look about them that was familiar. And almost at once I knew why, for there issued from the e ntrance the mother, considerably more plump than when I knew her lost, but sti ll the some old Pat Kenealy. She always hod to be at the top o f everything and here she was at lo st " sitt ing on top of the world." My telescope was impati en t so I let it go on. Bock to New York City, and right into a ladi es' athl etic club. Before I could halt it we were inside the Turk ish both. There, with only their heads protruding from the tops of steam boxes, each with three chins but reconizobl e yet were Maxine Dose and Maxine Ellis. Just as I thought I I knew when I was bock home that if those two girls didn't stop getting so much candy from their various boy fri ends they would e nd up like this. And then my te lescope took a short swing . He re we were at the Fo lli es, my how those gi rls could dance ! And right in the middle of the line, stepping o s peppy as any o f the rest of them, were Doralee Klopping and Rosemary Osborn. Those gi rls must be nearly fifty yea rs o ld by this time but you wouldn ' t know it to see them. Make-up con do marvelous things in cove ring a girl's age! And then right boc k to Underwood High School. How natural it looked. Nothing seemed changed o bit. But who do you suppose was scrubbing the corridor floors wearing a cop label ed Assistant Joni tress! It was N~rma Benson. You'd wonder pe rhaps how she would make use o f her store of Geome try and Algebra on a job like this. Neverthel ess, he re she was. We often wonder what happened to Virginia Hemmingson. My te lescope turned to Russia where she is doing post-war nursing. I then focused my te lescope on one o f Virginia 's best friend s, Shirley Ballard who is to be noted o s one of Hollywood's best hoir stylists and make up artists. All th rs time I was wondering whot hod become o f the boys of the class, but even on immortal telescope cou ld not reveal to me more than one scene at a time. Now I hod to restrain myself no longer. Off we went. Chicago wos our first stop. The build ing which e ntered our vision was ve ry modern and prosperous look.ing.. Over the main entrance hung a sign. "Orgoniz~d Rockets of Ame rica. " The telescope pi e rced t ~ building, showed me t~,e general o ffi ce and p~us~­ before a door marked, Special Deportment for ,, oo A ing Children's Ban ks, Ed Nelson, Chi e f oote,~; littl e cord hanging from the door now sa id, Away on firm business." Wi thout waiting any longer I ordered my ro phecyii~? te lescope to be on its way . He re 1s what we faun It Rov Handke driving a ga rbage coll ecting tru ~k . If _ must have bee n his Scotch ancestry showing 1tse getting something for nothing. Playing in a Salvation 1, Army Band, we found John Costor. His better nature overcame him in the end. President of the clerk Republic of Santa Domingo, we discovered to be Horold Esington, sitting in a palace surrounded by machine guns. Harold always said he would be president some day. Lastly we came to Ed Tolbott, manager of Gun-boat Flynn, the contender far the heavyweight championship of the United States. Leave it to Ed to be around if there was going to be a fight! With this my telescope turned to the main office of the Treasury building where we find Merle Russell stumbling over one of his old school favorites-a ten column working sheet. The next twist was to Madison Square Garden where whom should we find to our amazement but Bill Huneke, All Star hockey player. His school basketball proved to be very helpful in his hockey playing. The next stop on the class of 1942 we find the happiest couple in the world D. L. Lowden and Zella Mathias. It seems they were married after graduation. D. L. joined the navy, Zella fallowed him to South America where they live in a bamboo hut with their large family of sunburned children. The last stop was at the Stork Club in Hollywood. There we find Bob Hansen leading his famous dance band and doing quite a bit of trombone soloing him- self. And then my alarm clock rang. Alarm cloc k in Heaven! Certainly not. I awoke groggily and looked at the clock. Five thirty in the morning . I loo ked at the calendar, April 30, 1942. Oh yes! I had set the alarm in order to wake up in time to write that theme for Miss Graber's Engl ish class. My trip to Heaven was all a dream. Perhaps my classmates aren't going to wind up in harems, igloos, rackets, and garbage collecting. Who knows?

"Independent Cusses" Speeding back to Underwood, the new capital of Iowa, for a reunion of the class of 1944 , I began to think of the ambitions of the old 1944 class of U.H.S. As I entered the suburbs of the great city of 1,000,000 population, I was almost knocked out of the seat of my new e lectro hyd ro-mobile, for on a large sign by a huge factory were these words, "Bryce Julius and Herbert McMullen, Soop Manufacture rs." Soon a fte r I, recovered from that experience I was almost run ove r by a large de live ry tru'ck that came roari ng down Sunnyside Avenue. Whe n, I finally over took it and forced it to stop I got out to give the driver a piece of my mind, and you con imagine my surprise .when I found out it was none other than De lores Schneckloth. After a short talk I learned she married Art Christofferson who was ke pt busy raisi ng nine children and running a day nursery. After stopping for lunch at a large resta.urant run by the billionaire , Kent Nie lsen, I proceeded to d rive along the Avenue; when I noticed I was almost out of gas. I pulled up to the nearest gas station and whom should I see but Ardis Carlsen coming out of the station. Ente ring the El ite po rt of town, I couldn't be lieve my eyes when I saw Co rl Schorsch ta king Mrs. Van Uppe rbuilt's dog for its doily wa lk ! Mrs. Von Upperbui lt (the forme r Esthe r Hessel) was just completi n'g a world tour wi th the Unde rwood Ope ra Company run by none othe r than Emil Christians. Turning t he corner of 45th and Lone Street, I stopped a t a little white house with a sign by the door sa yi ng " Fortunes Read." Upon entering I was confronted by Bruce Ba rnet and led Madam Zoola's room. Was I surprised to see tha t Madam Zoolo wa s none othe r than Monnie Schmaedecke. As I come out of the house I was met by Duane W e lbou rne who was working his wa y through college by se lli ng magazines. Good sa les ta lk forced me to take a subscription, but I hu rried a way before he could get me to buy another one. Upon visiti ng the office of Wayne Rodenburg, M.D., I wa s met by his secretory, Betty Ann Pete rsen, who told me Dr. Rodenburg was busy performi ng on operation at the Merc iful Hospital. On leaving the office I noticed a fruit stand and wal k _ ed over to get o n a pple, a nd to my surprise, I found Phyllis Wanvi k running that stand. It wa s the busiest corne r in that po rt of town. As I was getting into my ca r, I noticed Jack Stageman and Edna Moe Dose wa lking down the street together. Afte r g radua ting, Jock joined the Marines, and Edna Mae followed him all ove r the country. The a fte rnoon was so warm I decided to toke a wa lk. I happened to look up a t a la rge building , and it wa s not the buildi ng that I saw which made me stop to look twice, but the sign ove r the door which read, " Dudley Ge ise- Undertaker." I was walking bock to my car when I noticed Betty and Bonny Herrick closing up the ir beauty pa rlor. Ten As I talked to them about their business, I learned that they we re going home to see Darlene Hawthorne, who had married a rich man and was now a ssocia ted with the upper crust of society. I started off in my car when a policeman stopped me to give me a ticket for parking in front of a fire plug. Of all people, I d id not expect Orvan Peterson to become a policeman ! I stopped by to see Lauren McBride and Eldon Christensen. They had gone W est ofte r g raduation and hod struck oil in a lonely spot in Oklahoma . They we re now in full control of all oi l pipelines west of the Mississippi Rive r. Marjorie Jensen had mode good a s a hostess o.n . the New Yo rk - Unde rwood Transcontinental Airlines a nd had just landed a t Underwood whe n I visited the airfield. She and Frank Hovey never had .gotte n married because Marjorie wanted to be in the 01 1n es. Betty Nie lsen had been busy all da y in the office of the F. B. I., which hos been moved from W a shington to Unde rwood. As I d rove a long a beautiful garden which wa s owned by Madam Be tty Schorsch, who soon afte r ro d~ot ~ from good old U.H.S .. had come into possession of riches by winning the l 945 sweepsta kes. . n~a and Ke nneth Armstrong we re employed as chief ma id a nd butle r of the large mansion. Then a's I started to hunt up the facu lty of the cla ss of '44 I occ idently ha ppe ned upon M r. Dunla vy, who w~s taking his daily wal k. Afte r seve ra l years a s supe rinte ndent of U. H. S., he had retired and is now living out his life quie tly in a house near the Unive rsity of Unde rwood. He informed m: tha t Alvi na Larson was Professo r of Comme rce in the University. Miss Grubb is the hea d tea che r of Eng lish and Drama - tics at U.H.S. , and it looks a s if she is making good a t it. Miss Dobrovolny won some money from the Pot 0 Gold Program a nd is sponsori ng the Lone Ranger Progra m on Radio Station UHS. . On driving post the City Pa rk, I noticed Mrs. Butl e r a nd Mrs. Mulvihill tal king over old times a cross a park bench. Miss Taylor quit her job a s a teache r in U. H. S. a nd opened an ice cream counte r in a drug sto re on Ma in Street alongside the old schoolhouse. . Just a s the sun. wa s going down ove r the la rge c ity of Underwood I stopped my car in front of the school. Whe n I nt in I found the Class of ' 44 and t.he Fa culty already busy ta lking over old times a nd d is- cussing the ir progress si nce the ir old school days. Eve ryone seems to ha ve a ccompl ished h is desires since he le ft old U.H.S. . bod Afte r on eveni ng of talking togethe r again, every Y le ft to begi n whe re they had le ft off. Everybody has made a success of himself, so I g uess the re is nothi ng le ft for me to worry about. The refore , I sha ll leave this la rge c ity and its inhabita nts to a happy future.

Twenty-five We're Off Again "I got up at five, when did you?" " Got 'chur ticket yet?" " I haven't either," and another Senior skip day was :in the way. Our transportation to Lincoln, Nebraska, consisted of a bus resurrected from the late twenties. The ride to Lincoln was uneventful but interesting. Upon ou~ arrival at Lincoln we checked same things at the bus station and then went to tour the, Nebraska State Capitol Building. Mr. Knapp, the guide, gave an interesting talk both before and after lunch on the building and its materials. · We all agreed we wouldn't mind spendi ng the whole day there. But, ah me! One day doesn't allow much time for loitering. And since the newspaper was next on our list of ·"musts" we proceeded to inspect it at about l :30. The Police Department and Fire Department were next on our list and were really worth the time. Nebraska Unive rsity grounds are very nice tao-as some certain persons will agree-eh? After a day of surprises for service men-a soldier in particular probably thought we were some lunaticswonderful sights at the capitol, astounding statistics :ibout newspapers and other things in general, we embarked from Lincoln at about 6: 1 5 in another irregular bus. A general good time was being had when the bus got to Omaha at 8: 1 7. Afte r a stage show at the Orpheum Theatre, where it was necessary to use binoculars to see the performance- we had to sit so for up- we come home and I con pe rsonally testify that we all slept very we ll except for maybe a nightmare or two due to those Jost steaks. junior-Senior Banquet On May l 0 , 1944, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at a Hawaiian style banquet in the High School gymMount Mauna Loa Island of the Sea Trade Wind Salad Heavenly Breeze Java nasium at 7 o'clock.

A more ur:believable sight was that of "Murderous Mary Hedegard" and her midget manager, Don Kenney. Mary is known from coast to coast a s the Cham- pion Lady Wrestler. Don is supposed to manage he r, but we have our doubts about that. On ou r way fa the hote l, we dropped into the local o ffice of Esquire , Inc. For no particular reason, we walked into the private office of the ed itor. Imag ine our surprise to find Gene Rodenburg seated behind the huge desk. He was surrounded by five ravishing Varga girls. They were Mory Ballard, Bernice Christ'ionsen, Beverly HemmingS'en, Leno chorsch, and Darlene Suntken•. Their director, Bill Casson, was a 1:.a p resent. We were informed by him that the world's foremost mode l was due to arrive in Underwood a t 8: I 5 on an Eastbound plane from Hollywood. W e reached the a irport just in time to see her i:;ress a gent, D. D. Dunlavy, (who also coaches her in dramatics in his spare time ) arrive. He was closely fa llowed by that curveo s beauty who is known a s "The Girl W e Would Like To Be Ma rooned With On A Desert Island." She was given this title by the Thi rd Ne gro Division of the Eighth Army. This beauty was none othe r than He lena Wurt:z:. Returning to our hotel, wh ich incidentally, is owned and managed by our old pal. Delrie Berg and his charming wife, the former Pat McDonald, we zoomed up to our penthouse in a new e levator. This e levator which trave ls at a speed of 1 mile per hou r (a ccident proof) was bui lt by the ingenious Paul Hessel, who is happi ly ma rried to Audrey Thomas. We entered an apa rtment. which we thought was ou rs, and were surprised to find it occupied by 1 0 spoiled children. They informed us that they we re the 10 little Foxes. The former Ramona Coldwell is now Mrs. Jack Fox. Jack is a very successful ga rbage collector. Across the street from our window, embla zened in yellow and red Neon lights. was the name of Wesley "Th~ Swooner" Mortensen, who is now starring in "One Mad Night" in the Unde rwood Grand Ole Opry. Having decided to attend the evening performa nce , we arrived early and found two old maids busy on their hands and knees scrubbing the stage. Upon inqui ring, we found that they were Mary Meyer a nd Rhoda Iversen. Whi le waiting fa r the performonce to begin, we saw the former Miss Eli:z:obeth Schnell enter with her husband, Van Johnson. She had come to view her star pupil, Wesley. T rue to form, Wesley gave us our money's worth. On our way home from the performa nce . we passed a g;gantic building. A neat sign informed us that it was "Taylor's Tasteless Pickle Compa ny." Farther dawn the street. we stumbled over a pile of rubbish which an old bearded man was scooping up. On his CQrt it said, "Merne Rohlfs, Streetcleaner and Dog Catche r Inc." From him we learned thot Arlene Mognussen end Kenny Ch ristionsen reside on a 6 00 acre fa rm near Neola . Merne seemed positive that the farm was complete ly enclosed by a six foot fence. W e supposed this is to keep the kids in and the rabbits out. On every building in town were advertisements reading, " Let Johnson Be Your Cleaners-We Wash Your Pants While You Wait." Th'is myste rious Johnson turned out to be Norma Jean Johnson, who is taking in laundry for a living. Hard work seems to be ruini ng her forme r youthful figure . In the yard of our hote l, we found a little tree which had pneumonia. We notified a tree surgeon ot once, and in three seconds a red and white truck came roaring down the left side of the street. The driver was Mrs. Mulvihill who had left U. H. S. and is now a n ed tree surgeon. From Mrs. Mulvih ill we learned that Don Talbott is McClel land's most successful bachelor a nd that Clara Joyce Nielsen is doing a fine job of keeping house fo r him. We decided to pay them a visit and caught the Limited Express out of town. On the tra in we chanced to look out the window and down below. wi th a mouthful of cinde rs between his false teeth, was "Baysinger, the Bum." Late r we learned that discouragement over love a ffa irs ha d caused Loren's downfall. Incidentally three mbers of the class of 1945, have formed a Lonely Hearts Club in a vain effort to trap a man. Up to this time they have enjoyed little success. These three charming young women with matrimony in their minds are Alice Casson, Rosemary Fischer, end last, al ~o least. Donna Sinkey. The last one on our list was Miss G~ubb. W e lea rned that she is acting in a radio serial entitled " Life With Mother," sponsoreGJ by Razzle Dazzle Dog Biscuit Company. With this we leave the faculty a nd c lass of '45 ta conti nued success in the ir chosen professions. It's time for us to begin the d ifficult task of selecting our own career.

Twenty-nine Prophecy "Red Letter Day In Underwood" Speeding into the same old depot in Underwood, we heard a band playing and saw the thousands that were gathered there. We wondered what all the exitement was about and soon found out "Swooner Boy" (Norman Larsen) was aboard this train. As he stepped from the train he was cheered; swinging the baton and directing the band was Charles Christiansen, who was very much out of breath. The "Swooney Fan Club" was there screaming and hollering. The exitement was too great for the president of the "Swooneys", Anita Kenealy, and as Swooner Boy brushed against her she passed out in a dead faint. The ambulance was summoned and -as-it came to an abrupt jerk and stop, we found the driver was none other than Irma Geise. Puffing and panting was the nervous little doctor, Jack Johnson. We then got into our station wagon and were speeding down Main street when we were stopped by a shrill blow of a whistle. To our amazement there stood Mr. Knowlton on a stand in the middle of t he street. We were told he was Underwood's most promising traffic cop. He told us to report to court immediately so on the way we hired a lawyer, Chester Kennedy, whom we thought would get us out of this jam. At court, we saw a most stately looki1:1g judge and as we got closer to him we discovered it was none other than Elmer Goldapp. He had no pity and fined us five dollars. We once again stepped out into the street and deciding to walk, we strolled down ~o the. corner. There we saw a newsboy shoutmg. with. all his might about important happenings m this busy nation. The newsboy was, to our amazement, Ernie Yochem. . We finally caught what Ernie was shoutmg and found out that t he United States Senate had just confirmed the appointm ent of ~r. Nielsen as Secretary of Agriculture in President Ruth Larsen's Cabinet. Miss Larsen was also president of the President's Club. Crossing the street, we ran and dodged to get away from an oncoming street car. As it passed, we noticed t hat Jean Marie Johnsen was at the controls and what a wicked driver!! Taking tickets was Darrell Whittington who was a lso trying unsucessfully to quiet' Mrs. Kennedy's (formerly Alice Thiel) kids. Getting slightly hungry, we started huntThirty ing for an eating place. A huge sign which said "Eat and Die" attracted our attention. We walked in and learned that this place was owned by Miss Gregerson. Sitting in a corner was Charles Prewitt arguing with the waitress, Margie Downs, about the price of the food. Suddenly we heard a loud crash and saw the bouncer, Marie Lou Casson, tossing Chuck out of the door. After satisfying our hunger, we left and were strolling up the street when we saw a bundle of books, ropes, leather goods, a nd axes coming down the street. We mig ht have known that Miss Grubb was under a ll this. Seems that she never got her fill of mountain climbing. We learned from her that Lois Mathias was drawing cartoons for Little Abner comics. Her specialty is Lena the Hyena. Since I had chipped a tooth while eating dinner, I was tempted to go to the dentist. Upon arriving at the office we were greeted by a nurse. Eileen Lake, and she told us that the dentist Dr. Franklin Geiger, was busy. While waiting, Mr. Doller came into t he office and asked if his n ew set of false teeth were ready. After we left the dentist's office we decided to stroll down the avenue. As we were crossing the intersection, a big Cadilac screeched around the corner. In it we saw Eel Kuhl, who was now private chauffer for Miss Taylor who had recently married a milliona ire. We heard quite a commotion down the street and found that it was a circus. Doing the barking at the ma in gate was Doris Christ· offersen and selling tickets was Shirley Vallie r. After we hunted through t he maze of candy sticks, popcorn, and apples, we saw our former teacher, Mrs Mulvihill. We then heard a familiar voice saying, "Wa tch them shimmer and shake like an old earthquake!" It was Dick Petersen attracting a crowd to the "Satisfying Somnambulists" show where Emma Klopping and Jane Ann Hovey w re sharing the spotlight. We then heard a scream a nd looked around to see Dorothy Gittens and Dolores Thomas taking a ride in a loop-a-pla ne. By this time the day was drawing rapidly to a close and having decided to board a bus for home, started on a reckl ess, ca reening ride. We looked at the driver a nd whom did we see but Ella Mae Mils a t the wheel. We later f ell asleep a nd went off to dreaml and. But for us, no rest. The angels were Cleo Petersen a nd Shirley Christoffer84'n. .. . SNAPSHOTS Ln Memory Of JOHNNY GRIMES December 24, 1930 J une 6, 1946 1'0 1• of l'a~e: ( l eft to l' i g h t ) 1.

Keep blowing "Gabby. 11 Article XXV We , Dale Herrick and Ella !l~ arie Thomas, will our noted differences in si~e to Irene Brummer. As we turn the dial on our "Vicha Voocha Abracadabra 11 television set, which records sound and vision 20 years into the future,· we touch the magic dial to see the old class of '49 once· more. 11 Come one come all, see the greatest muscle man in the world, 11 comes fr om the sound projector and as we look down the list of the class of '49 we cannot imagine who it could be, but as we look closer; we recognize Melvin Dunblazier the number one muscle man -in the world bec ause of his own invention of "Magnetic, Melt-in-your-mouth Muscle Pills." By his side we see his robust wife who has taken ·a ·modified version of his muscle pills and to our amazement is none other than Ruth Mary McDonald . My! ~TI< o is this g orge ous peach who is continually flashing on the s creen?--Why, it is Miss Taylor and we must say· that the bathing suit she made from the cotton out of an aspirin bottle is very becoming. Slowly we turn the dial and who should come into view but Harold lha p and Donna Jensen sitting before a bathtub fishing for goldfish. s ems a Fuller brush man was trying to sell them some brushes. Evi dently h e made a sale because he laft two baby bottle brushes behind. Once more we touch the magic dial and the sound of thousands or people comes to us. It's a football game and Bob Johnson, all-A~erican quarterback of the undefeated "Underwood Baby Buggy Bumper anu- facturing Company 1 s" professional football team, has just come onto the field wearing diapers before 200,000 rapid raving Underwood fans. The reason for this teams undefeated record is that the ir coa ch is Mrs u lvihill and be cause of her fine coaching has put so much vigor and vim i nto the team that they have walked away with all the trophies. · As the band w;riggles onto the field playing the Sabre Dance, we are utterly astounded to see Mr. Bush directing his all girl orchestra and playing a licorice stick at the same time. As we turn off the television set we pick up the newspaper and no tice a particular1y interesting advertisement whi ch reads "Whi ch twin has the Toni?" and posed under this lettering sit Leland and Lloyd Christiansen. Turning the next page the headlines read-- 11 GYPSY ROSE LEE sue ing Miss Joyce E. Grubb for infringing upon her business. 11 Looking down the page we see the latest picture sh ws announced. One that especiall y interests us is the one reading The Biggest Hit On Broadway 11 starring Betty Pendgraft. No i ncreas e in admission. As we read on, we see that the great American scientist, ~ Miller has just received the Nobe l Prize for scientifically rescuing his wife Pat Myers fr om the s wi r ling waters of the bathtub . No de- :? It 0 ~ }J E (; Y - ~ D J\J i-r tails given. That' s enough for us so we throw our oaper down and again tune in on 0ur television set. This time far- away Alaska comes into sight and we notice that Jeanette Hovey is feeding frozen fish to h e r falilily of 17. These huskies make wonderful sled dogs they say. The magic dial now focuses the screen on a night club, "The Stumble rnn." A rich playboy, whom we later discover to be Bruce Larsen is seat ing himself. The waitress saunters over to the table and says "Well! What do you want?" "A cup of coffee please," replied Bruce. "Dra in tlie sewer, 11 yell-ed the waitress and as she turned around we noti ced to our amazement that she was Dorothy Larsen. Evidently he wasn't very thirsty, fo1• he walked to the other side of the room where a floor show was being held. Darlene Schickner was t he star performer and she was wearing a red strapless evening gown with suspenders. Probably due to an experience she had in school. Our set flashes to what is probably the basement. Well, Well, Well what do you know. Wayne McMullen is using his brain in his newly ac- quired job as a professional card swindler. HA 1 s even been given the name ,.,f "Ace" because of his crooked deck . A Beauty Salon is the next scene and we are simply amazed to find Asa Jensen giving Floyd Briggs an egg shampoo so he will look nice in the coming match between Gorgeous George and Fabulous Floyd, the number One wrestler of the nation. As a result of a description given about French girls in High School, Bernard Rin_g, b e came so interested that we now find him directing the ranch Follies. Well, we must say he certainly LOVES his work We touch the magic dial and see that the only difference 20 years has made in the life history of Bob Kuhl is that instead of trying to reach the moon by motorcycle as he tried to do in his high school days he is now flying a Supersonic Je t-Propelled Rocket. The next fla sh on the screen shows us the largest Harem in the world is owned by Dale He rrick whose motto is "Scare •em In Th Haremm We now see a store window before us and Bernard Christensen seems to b e having a little trouble dressing the dress forms. The skirt k eeps slipping to the floor and so doe s his helper, Bob Sweedler. But rrom the looks on their faces they thoroughly enjoy their work. our faithful old set i s now televising a famous Broadway show, star ring Leah Rodenbur& as Bubble Dancer accompanied by Delores o•Doniel . Leah seems to be having a little t r ouble, someone in the audience is ting at her with a water pistol. Further investigation sh ows~ ~~~ier still up to his old tricks. Crystal pool comes to us next and the bathing beauties etting angry at the demon who is shooting at them with a fft er leaving High School, Duane Larsen took this up as a are really bean shooter hobby. Northern Canada flashes up on the screen and we find Ell a Marie Thomas perch ed on top of an iceberg, trying to raise Frozen Onions. (food luck, Ella. Now we turn the magic dial t o a nice quiet i sitting on a rocking chair with six small s · Dean is still up to his old pastime knees. t i this time they are Bedtime s or es. ome scene. Dean Grove children perched on his of telling stories only I t seems Mr. Doller has taken up the f'ine occupation of' a Banker. He i s now learning to make some small change !'or f'uture necessities. They say it' s quite an art once you lalow how! Well what an interestin~ picture bef'ore usJ We see Leo Paul Brewer t he old 11Momies 'ittle man of' Underwood High. He has just been advanced to President of' the Bonehead Brewers Bug A Boo Britches Co. and is a lso the new owner of' the Ford Manuf'acturing Company. We !'ind Hans Christensen running an ·old maid's home. The only re quirement is that they have one f'oot in the grave and one on the bat t l e f'ield . And la st but not least , we !'ind our old Supt. Knowlton busily engaged i n traveling f'rom door to door as a Fuller Brushman. We'r e wondering what ever became of' the $25 a day he was supposed to have been able to acquire through a high school education and the $100 a day by going to college? By t he way , he has invented a new type of'l:e.rd rubber trousers very annoying to hungry neighborhood dogs! And now on our television set the Class of' 15.0 are sending out a ll the l uck and Best Wishes !'or the f'uture to the .alass of' 149. I \ r'r'-1~ J t t.

Dedication To our democracy and to those who are fighting to preserve it, we dedicate this annual, our last Senior project . Especially do we wis h to remember Mr. Lee Hoover, our annual adviser, who left February 16 to enter the armed ser vice. Underwood Consolidated School 1 s c H 0 0 L SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE Great excitement prevails at the time of the publication of your "yearbook." To me it marks the completion of anc~her school year. The ·Seniora, who sponsor the yearbook, have endeavored to compile a group of records and pictures which will help them to remember the school from which they are about to graduate. We know from past; experiences that this record will grow in value as the years go by. Many questions about the members of the cla sses, the outcome of certain ball games, etc., will be answered ten, twenty, and more years from now by looking in this book. It is gratifying to know that some of the graduate• will, as others have done, leave this community and make a name for themselves in other parts of the world, but it is more gratifying to know that many will make this community their permanent home, and in this way this community will benefit directly from the money now being spent to educate her children to live peacefully and happily in this rapidly changing world. With this in mind, I leave these parting words to the Seniors, "I hope each of you make the best of his education, and the best of luck to you. " T . E.

Glancing down the magazine shelf, I chanced to spy, nestled between "Esquire" and "True Story," a little book called "Lover's Last Chance." Paying the usual price, I stuffed it in my back pocket and thought no more about it until 8:00 when, after eating, I settled .down to read and this is what was in it--from cover to cover. As I turned to the first page, I saw a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Doller, and naturally wondering what they were doing there, I read the description below which said that: EDITORS Mr. and Mrs. Doller--We, the editors of "Lover's Last Chance," met in a Biology laboratory. Were chopping up worms at the time. While looking for a book on echinaderms, came up with one called "Lovers try till you die." Had many common interests--so got .niarried four weeks later. We decided to make our hobbies editing a similiar lonely hearts magazine and raising worms. We hope it produces many good results. Upon turning the page who else should stare up at me than Mr. Esancy, and I was doubly surprised to find that: COUNSELOR Mr. Esancy--Doctor Von Hienrich Esancy, our book's marriage counselor, is well versed for this position. He has a wide range of personal and professional experience that makes him one of the foremost personages in this field. Doctor Esancy got his start in thi s work when a student in Sociology asked him whether kissing was involuntary or v oluntary acti on. Since then his eminance, Doctor Esancy, has wasted no time in finding out the true facts of the matter. For complete information on the results of his findings, please enclose $ 100. and the cover to this magazine. On t he next pages came a list of satisfied customers. This should be interesting. Let 's look and see. SATISFIED CUSTOMERS Jean Manhart--Was I doomed to be a widow? Was my life going to be thrown away? I thought so, but then discovered the wonderful book called "Lover's Last Chance." Four months ago wrote asking about a man.

On its inanimate pages, we have tried to gather some of the living stream of activities and events of the past year of our school life. We hope that as the years go by, the pages of this yearbook will become to you the pages of a well-worn and treasured book; a key to memories pasta key that can, with the turn of a page, take you back to the world of dates, parties, basketball games and other events. Each of us sees a little of our own life mirrored in these pages, just as we are sure that you will see a little of your own past.

Item 1-To the Board of Education we leave the scattered pieces of paper found on the floor-discarded by this class. These a re to be sold a s salvage and the proceeds used to construct a new g ymnasium. Item 2-To the faculty we give our sincere st tha nks for the he lp they have given us, and for the things they have endured in trying to pound some knowledge into our heads. Item 3-To the Freshman class we leave our dignity , poise, and self-confidence, in the hope that they can use it to be tter advantage than we did. Item 4-To the Sophomore class we leave the dance steps we have picked up here and there in hope tha t it lea ds to more school dances which include boys. Item 5- To Miss Taylor, our history teacher, we re turn unanswered the many diHicult questions which she has put to us in the years that have passed. \Ve believe these same questions can be used over and over until they a re worn to shreds, for surely they will never be answered. If we couldn't answer them, who can? Item 6- To a ll teachers we leave the imposing mass of unusual and unverified information which may be found in our accumulnted test papers. If any of the teache rs wish to write an encyclopedia using this information, they may do so without paying royalties to our he irs. Item 7- To the Junior class we leave these various a nd assorted personal items that were acquired during our high school life. We know you will be overjoyed to receive them. L Fred Geise, leave my pretty little car, and tools to go with it, to Tom Constantino and Johnny Wipf knowing they can use a nother one. I, Burle Carrigan, will my meek, mild, unspoken and quie t disposition to Garold Ryan and Eddie Bracker so they can wow the girls as I have. -17- L Roy Mortensen, will my ability to hold my temper under very trying conditions to Betty Vallier. I, Stanley Longmeyer, will my assortment of bright colored ties, shirts, and suspenders to Marvin Larsen and Quentin Rasmussen so they may be noticed as I wasn't. L Bonny Hansen, leave my sweet personality and friendliness (mixed with devilishness) to Beverly Casson and Ruth Geise. I, Eileen Larsen, leave to Dean Harms my ability to play the church orga n so he may lead a more .spiritual life. I, Thomas Handlen, leave my collection of drawings, stories, and jokes which have made me famous in Underwood High School to Richard Geise and Lawrence Flood so they can start a collection of their own to make life more interesting for the rest of the high school. I, Janice Klopping, will my ability to stay home every night and get to bed by e ight to Shirley Bonne s so she can change he r habits- as I have been unable to do. I, Barbara Knowlton, will my ringing telephone to Mary Tawzer and Betty Charles hoping it will amuse and reward them as it has me. I, Virginia Koenig, will my basketball ability to George Howard and Alan Christensen hoping it will make men out of them. I, Donna Houser, leave my love for school and books and learnin' to Norma O'Doniel so I can become the wife of a certain chicken farmer. I, Elna Nielsen, leave my talent for hitting high "A" to June Manhart so she can become a soprano at the Methopolitan Opera House. I, Bernadine Childs, will my love for Treynor dances and playing the clarinet to Janice Thomas and Caroline Lubbe. I. Delores Jensen, leave my temper acquired on Bus 3 to Virgilene Turk and Bill Schorsch so they will be.able to defend their rights. I, Lois Fowler, leave my naturally curly hair to Dale Hansen and Ronald Doty. It might come in handy during basketball games. I, Betty Petersen, am not willing · to leave my love for studying to Don Johnsen and Gary Wahle because they don't need it-much. I, Alice Mehlhop, will my habit of going into the band room to practice and ending up talking to Mr. Esancy to Bob Brokman and Charles Casson so they may learn the many interesting things I have learned. I, Audrey Lee, will my enviable position as the only girl in the physics class to Shirley Justen to do with as she chooses. - 18- I, Ruth Bell, will my interest in Treynor, Neola, Minden, A. L., Carson, and Macedonia to Shirley and Dorothy Nelson. I, Jo Ann Brokman will my speed in walking, talking, and gum chewing to Pat Ring and Donna Lee Hansen. L Carolyn Jensen, w ill my turtle like habits to Deb Brokman and Phyllis Con· stant hoping they won't be so eager to do some of the things they do. W e hereby nominate and appoint our adviser, Miss Minnie E. Taylor, to be the executor of this, our Last Will and Testament. In the event of her unwillingness or inability to act. we nominate Mr. T. E. Knowlt0n to be said executor or trustee. Yvonne Hansen, President of the Class of 1952 The foregoing instrument was signed by the Cla s of 1952 in our presence and by them publicized and declared to be their La t Will and Testament. At their request and in their presence and in the presence of each other, we he re unto subsc ribe our hand this 16th day of May, nineteen hundred and fifty-two. Minnie E.

How happy I am that I have been asked to speak to you on the opening page of your yearbook! Perhaps you do not recognize me, although I have always been with you; in fact, I permeate every phase of your school life. I belong to every organization and am a vital part of every successful activity. I am the force that "puts over" the magazine-sales campaign, the reason behind good citizenship, the desire to make our school "tops" in anything we undertake. I have been present at every game where I seem to find myself more at home than anywhere else. Yes, school activities help to build me strong. In return, my aim is to build character, ambition and enjoyment in your school life, and, yes, even for years into your futures. Students of Underwood High School, you know me well- I am to be found on every page of your 1953 Underwood Log- I am with you now- I shall always be with you, for I am School Spirit. UNDERWOOD CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL We have many reasons to be proud of our 9chool's record. Seate~: Marilyn Fischer, Betty P e tersen, J ack Wylanrt. Standing: Roland Hansen, Thomas Handl cn.

Our graduates usua lly make good records in the ir chosen voca1ion. Those who enter college, express appreciation for a good background - a solid foundation on which they may build a happy life and a successful career. -2- BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AND SPIRIT Almost unlimited in scope are the dutie s of Superinte ndent T. E. Knowlton, who must plan and supervise the affa irs of the school a nd its p upils. His program, to eliminate the worst and strengthen the best in our school syste m, aims at preparing students for a ctive and p urposeful living.

It must be developed and formed, like any good habit, by conscious effort and practice on the part of each individual. Busy leading, guiding and teaching are all members of the Underwood faculty. Each responsibility requires much time and patience. Energetic and helpful as club sponsors, supervisors of class projects, directors of plays, band, and athletic programs, and chaperones on trips and at parties, our teachers set examples of good school spirit. As principal, Miss Minnie E. Taylor writes, signs a nd fil e s several hundre d admit slips each y ear-a small item in the ke eping of high school records. · Othe r duties which challenge and interest her are teaching socia l science, sponsoring the senior class and the pep club and acting as adviser to student cabinet and the yea rbook staff.

Upon arriving in Lincoln, Morrill Hall was visited, where many stuffed animals and aged fossils were seen. At the state Capitol the seniors were lucky enough to see Nebraska's unicameral legislature engage in a lively debate. After investigating the Capitol from top to bottom, the class a te dinner at Gold's Cafeteria. The next stop was the penitentiary and w hile there, much was learned about prisoners and prison life. After touring Lincoln in the bus for about a half hour, the Lincoln Zoo, Police Department and Fire Department were visited . While a t the fire department, an actual alarm went out and the seniors saw a first hand demonstration of what happens when a fire starts. At 5:30 the students split up and went shopping and ate supper. They were given an hour in which to be on their own. After all w ere back toge ther, the movie "Pony Express" was enjoyed. When the show was over, we clambered back into 0 u r bus and were safely back in Council Bluffs by 11 :00.

FUN AND FELLOWSHIP Keeping in mind their purpose of helping to build a better tomorrow, the Underwood F.H.A. girls decided to send a Christmas box of new school supplies to an underprivileged Negro school in Mississippi. By contributing to this school, the girls felt they were furthering the cause of Christian fellowship a nd the appreciation of peoples of other races. The annual Spinster's Spree was an event of Friday, March 13th. The boys were guests at a party built around a theme of superstition. Games, dancing, and e lection of the most eligible bachelor, and refreshments provided a full evening of fun. F.H.A. week was held in April b eginning with group a ttendance a t the Underwood Luthe ran Church. Variou s events of specia l interest in the field of home-making were featured during the week. -29- ROW 1: Cheerleaders-Marilyn Rodenburg, Marilyn Wahle, . June Manhart, Betty Vallier.

To foster school spirit, promote good sportsmanship, and serve our school a t all times are purposes which the club more than fulfilled . The peppy• ye lls, splendid school spirit and rea l sportsmanship displayed by the girls broug ht much favorable comment from community basketball fans. Much credit for . the splendid work of this organization is due the parents who chee rfully provided tra nsporta tion to a ll games. Combining school spirit and stickto-it-ive-ness, the girls staged a hobo · day in Februa ry to secure funds for a banquet honoring the Ea gles. -30- EAGLE SPIRITS SOAR-AT TIMES FRONT ROW: Richard Geise, manager, Deb Brokman, Gary Wahle, Donald Johnsen, Ronald Doty, Charles Casson.

Beginning her day you might find he r taking roll, making out absence slips, and after a busy day of carrying out her role as principal, you'll see her dismissing the students at 3:35. But her day doesn' t end there for there are always papers to check, records to keep, and many varied activities to a ttend. F rom Nebraska City, Nebraska, Miss Taylor attended Peru State Teachers' College where she received her B. A. and la te r attended the University of Nebraska 'where she obtained her Permanent P rofessional " P 1 · " f r Just as s ailors look to 0 ans 0 directions we look to Mr. T · E. Knowlton for guidance :n charting our courses in the future. Mr. Knowlton lives in Underwood and has s erved as s upe rintendent here for fifteen ye ars. His days are filled with varied activities and responsibilities, but he finds time on weeken . and vacations to h unt and fish. While raising three of his own children, he ha s had a part in the lives of fourteen graduating classes at Underwood, which is quite a record. Receiving his M.A. a t the University of South Dakota, he taught in four South Dakota schools before coming to Iowa. Certifi cate. -4- &ble ':f eacherd Cf'roCJiae a ~ood &tmodphere Homemaking, office training, general business, and eighth grade English were capably taught by Mrs. Wayne Frazer who is also sponsor of the Unde rwood Homemakers of Tomorrow and of the Junior-Senior banquet. She might be referred to as " Canis-Major" because of her main hobby- dog training. Mrs. Frazer resides in Council Bluffs with her husband, son, and three daughters. She received her B. A. degree from Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa. "Ursa Major", another bright star, doesn't outshine Mr. Jack DeSelms. In his first year at Underwood, Mr. DeSelms has cast quite a ligh t in the pschology, business law, and industri al arts departments. Although he enjoys s wimming, basketball, and baseball, Mr. DeSelms spends most of his spare time with his son Bradley Curtis. He received his B. A. from Northwest · Missouri State Teachers' College. Another " Supergiant" in his field, Mr. Gary Wheeler ccm be likened to the great star " Rigle" . His first year at Underwood was busily fill ed with teachin g senior band, junior band , and private lessons to grade and high school students. He certainly must have found many opportunities to engage in his main hobby of listening to good music. From his home town, P eterson , Iowa, Mr. Wheeler went to Wayne State Teachers' College where he obtained his Bachelor of Music Education. Just as " Cassopeia" rules the heavens, Miss Helen Murphy rules wisely over the mathematics and Latin departments. During her four years here at Underwood, she has had many opportunities to hear her pet peeve, "I didn't get my pro blems finished." Miss Murphy received her B.A. from P arsons College. At her home in Omaha she finds time to work at he r hobbies, sewing and puzzles. Mr. Clarence Boos inevitably came into contact with " Scorpius " this year. He ha s taught biology, chemistry, and eighth grade s cience for two years at Underwood. Mr. Boos was educated at Simpson whe re he received a B. A., and he is now working on his Masters Degree at Omaha U. He resides with his wife and two children near Weston. "He rcule s " ha s nothing over Mr. Roger Russell. Not only is he a giant in si ze, bu t also in intellect. World history, general science, and e conomic s were aptly handl ed by Mr. Russell, this year which was his first year a t U.H.S. His home town is Peru, Nebras ka , whe re he attended Ne braska Sta te Teachers' College. He has a B.S. in S duca tion. - 6- Mr. Russell Solberg is a s grea t a hunte r, in his field, as " Orion" is. One of his duties is to hunt out and develop the potential in possi ble athle tes. " Numbers " pl ay an important part in his teaching: The number of points in a basketball game , the number of errors in a typing test, the numbers in bookkeeping, not to mention the number of accidents on the highway dis cussed in drivers education class. Formerly teachin g in Nebraska, he did obtain part of his s chooling a t Wayne Sta te Teache rs' College, where he received his B. A. in 1956. Mr. Melvin Rogers might be known as " Betelgeuse" for he is certainly a " Supergiant" , not in si ze, but in his coaching and teaching c ap acities. Mr. Rogers' third year at Underwood is occupied with freshman an d sophomore English, physical education, track, and he is assistant baske tball coach. F rom his home town, Craig, Nebraska, he went to Dana College where he received his B.S. and then to Omaha U. whe re he received his M.S. Mr. Dare! Pennington has cast as bright a li gh t here as " Canopus " has in the heavens. His ma jor duty is teaching Junior and Senior English, although sponsoring "The Log", directing the Junior and Senior Class P l ays, and being in charge of the library are certainly not minor in any means. Hailing from Norfolk, Ne braska, Mr. Pennington received his B. A. in Education a t Wayne State Teacher' s College and also a ttended the University of Wisconsin for graduate work.

The Seniors' scholastic "Count down" began in 1948 when eleven shy kindergartners started school here at Underwood. The next milestone came with count "four" entering high school. Fifty-one green "Freshies" were initiated in U.H.S. in 1958. Now the final count is being witnessed by thirty-five seasoned Seniors. Seven of the original eleven have endured the test thus far. During counts "four", "three", "two," and "one" (their high school years) the Seniors have learned that scholastic courses plus extra-curricular activities constitute a well-rounded education which is essential in preparing for the future. Almost everyone has participated in some extra-curricular activity, and twelve experienced some leadership training by serving as officers in different organizations. Two boys and seven girls on the honor roll are proof that the scholastic courses have not been neglected. The "zero hour" is approaching when the Seniors will blast off into the future, but they are confident and well prepared to meet any obstacles. MOTTO: He who knows most knows best how little he knows. COLORS: Blue and Pearl FLOWER: Orchid - 15- Thirty-seven Juniors are climbing the stairsteps to the stars. This year, the third step, countless new responsibilities and experiences have been encountered. Courses in American His tory, En glish , geometry, chemistry, typing, bookkeeping, and Latin II were met and conquered. As the Juniors found out, the top two steps in the stairs, used only by upperclassmen, are truly golden. From the third step countless wonders were revealed.

Another coveted honor experienced was the receiving of the class rings, It is impossible to describe the feeling of at last earning the right to wear a class ring- it is an experience that must be encountered to be understood.

The girls activities were somewhat limited, but they did enjoy such activities as Pep Club, band, chorus, and Homemaking Club. The class itself enjoyed fun and excitement. This proved to be so by two swinging class parties spon• sored by Mr. Boos. Full of liveliness, spark, ambition and mischief, the class is also serious. During their trip this year they have met many problems and taken various orbits.

Having already reached one-fourth of their goal, the Freshmen reali ze that they should work and keep trying these few short years to prepare themselves for this modern age in which we are all living. Maybe a saying s uch as, "Prepare yourself, it's later than you think", would help some of us. After a rigid entrance test called "Initiation", the Freshm'en felt officially accepted into high school. They then turned interjectically to English, Latin, homemaking, industrial arts, general math, science, and algebra. They dominated the honor roll each six weeks with approximately fourteen students each time. But the F reshmen are firm believers that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Their first semester party consisted of a dance centering around Yuletide decorations and Christmas cheer. Torneten's timber was the scene for their second semester party. All their activities, fun, and homework kept them occupied most of the time, therefore, leaving the space age worries up to Uncle Sam.

The cross-country team shortened its running time last fall and as a result won five track meets - which is quite a record. Members of the team are: Ronald Hough, Larry Bargenquast, Kenny Cohrs, Donald Hough, and Kirk McManamy. The track team traveled far to attend the track meets and each time the trip proved profitable. September 25 found the boys attending the Class B State Mile Team Race at Iowa City. Lakeview was the site of the Black Hawk Invitational Meet held in October. • Lit the c;Qace Just as a criminal returns to the scene of the crime, our track team re turned to the scene of a victory. The place was Iowa City for the Class B Cross Country Meet. Two words from Coach Rogers sums up his opinion of the team, "very successful". Just as one might suspect, he is looking forward to a "very successful" spring track season. Lettermen returning from last year's county championship team include: Ron Hough, distance; Larry Bargenquast, shot put and distance; Phillip Nelson, sprints and li:urdles; Kenny Cohrs, distance; Ernie Niemann, pole vault; Tim Christensen, sprints; Donnie Hough, distance; and Dick Churchill , sprints. "Cf'ep etub Cf'rouide" the ~eedea Spark" "Our boys will shine tonight, our boys will shine" was frequently heard throughout the year signifying another victory. And the team did shine brightly this year- as brightly as any star in the heavens. Each of the sixty four members of the Pep Club can feel that she may have helped the star shine a little brighter. By attending every game and joining in with enthusiastic cheers and peppy songs, the Pep Club gave loyal support to the team. The size, strength and following of the club made our opponents realize Underwood has not only a team, but a C LUB OFFICERS P resident ••..............••.•• Mary Berte lsen Vice-President .• • ••.•••....•••.

The evening commenced with a pair of thrilling basketball games with Carson-Macedonia from which Underwood emerged the victor both times, Following the games the marching band gave a delightful performance of /1 Junior Joins the Band", & a series oi precision maneuvers accompanied by novel music.

The three-act comedy emphasi zed a situa tion found in many homes today - the struggle to get the entire family together for an evening of family fun. The pl ay cen tered around the Mille r Family: Fred, Martha and their two children, Doris and George. In a high school physiology class the students had been discussing problems of the home and parents. George, an exceptionally bright pupil, was invited to be on a radio discussion panel. The subject was /1 Are Parents People?" Becoming interested in the problem faced in modem homes, George discussed the problems of the Miller family with his parents. Thus it was decided to have an evening in which the family was to stay home and enjoy becoming together once again. The evening did not turn out as George ha~ planned, and many amusing incidents resulted. Thirteen students took an active part in the play under the direction of Mr. Darel Pennington.

Mr. Russell As everyone knows, there are certain rules that are necessary whether you are here on earth or on the moon. Most girls agree that "charm" is one of these, so this year's program for the Underwood Homemaker's of Tomorrow was a course in charm conducted by Mrs. Bess Barnes. During the year, the 50 members learned the techniques of walking sitting, and standing correctly; make-up and hair-styling. Mrs. Barnes emph asized that your personality is reflected in whatever you do - whether it be walking, talking, or just plain smiling. Since everyone's different no one rule c an be given in charm that will benefit all. Each girl experimented on herself until she found the right hair style and make-up; she then learned how much to use and how to apply it. The cours e was concluded with a review given for the parents in which the girls, themselves, performed the various topics that they had been instructed in. The year was s upplemented by a candlelight install a tion service for the new officers, taking part in the Christmas program for the high school, and selling at a basketball game.

This year, their second year in existence, the boys' gl ee, girls' glee, and mixed chorus made notable improvement. Mr. Davis believes that practice leads to perfection so the vocal calendar was crammed full. On October 22 a mixed quartet entered All-State tryouts at Shenandoah and were picked to attend the All-State vocal concert a t Des Moines, November 25 and 26. December 11 found all vocal students who were inte rested journeying to Nebraska State Teachers College at Wayne, Nebraska, to hear the " Messiah". The next evening the mixed chorus sang Christmas Carols in Council Bluffs as a part of a ceremony to open the Christmas shopping season. The annual Christmas Concert was given by the vocal and instrumental departments on December 21. The three Choruses presen ted their numbers before a setting of stained glass windows. March was occupied with preparation for the Quad County Chorus at Harlan and the small group contest held April 7 and 8. Also, on April 22, there was a large group contest. Besides participating in these events, some small groups gained practice by singing at P . T.A. meetings, before Church organizations, Women's Clubs, and the assembly, at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and for Bacculaureate, and Commencement. - 39- "Zekiel Saw Da Wheel " is practiced for concert".

Beginning her day you might find he r taking roll, making out absence slips, and after a busy day of carrying out her role as principal, you'll see her dismissing the students at 3:35. But her day doesn' t end there for there are always papers to check, records to keep, and many varied activities to a ttend. F rom Nebraska City, Nebraska, Miss Taylor attended Peru State Teachers' College where she received her B. A. and la te r attended the University of Nebraska 'where she obtained her Permanent P rofessional " P 1 · " f r Just as s ailors look to 0 ans 0 directions we look to Mr. T · E. Knowlton for guidance :n charting our courses in the future. Mr. Knowlton lives in Underwood and has s erved as s upe rintendent here for fifteen ye ars. His days are filled with varied activities and responsibilities, but he finds time on weeken . and vacations to h unt and fish. While raising three of his own children, he ha s had a part in the lives of fourteen graduating classes at Underwood, which is quite a record. Receiving his M.A. a t the University of South Dakota, he taught in four South Dakota schools before coming to Iowa. Certifi cate. -4- &ble ':f eacherd Cf'roCJiae a ~ood &tmodphere Homemaking, office training, general business, and eighth grade English were capably taught by Mrs. Wayne Frazer who is also sponsor of the Unde rwood Homemakers of Tomorrow and of the Junior-Senior banquet. She might be referred to as " Canis-Major" because of her main hobby- dog training. Mrs. Frazer resides in Council Bluffs with her husband, son, and three daughters. She received her B. A. degree from Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa. "Ursa Major", another bright star, doesn't outshine Mr. Jack DeSelms. In his first year at Underwood, Mr. DeSelms has cast quite a ligh t in the pschology, business law, and industri al arts departments. Although he enjoys s wimming, basketball, and baseball, Mr. DeSelms spends most of his spare time with his son Bradley Curtis. He received his B. A. from Northwest · Missouri State Teachers' College. Another " Supergiant" in his field, Mr. Gary Wheeler ccm be likened to the great star " Rigle" . His first year at Underwood was busily fill ed with teachin g senior band, junior band , and private lessons to grade and high school students. He certainly must have found many opportunities to engage in his main hobby of listening to good music. From his home town, P eterson , Iowa, Mr. Wheeler went to Wayne State Teachers' College where he obtained his Bachelor of Music Education. Just as " Cassopeia" rules the heavens, Miss Helen Murphy rules wisely over the mathematics and Latin departments. During her four years here at Underwood, she has had many opportunities to hear her pet peeve, "I didn't get my pro blems finished." Miss Murphy received her B.A. from P arsons College. At her home in Omaha she finds time to work at he r hobbies, sewing and puzzles. Mr. Clarence Boos inevitably came into contact with " Scorpius " this year. He ha s taught biology, chemistry, and eighth grade s cience for two years at Underwood. Mr. Boos was educated at Simpson whe re he received a B. A., and he is now working on his Masters Degree at Omaha U. He resides with his wife and two children near Weston. "He rcule s " ha s nothing over Mr. Roger Russell. Not only is he a giant in si ze, bu t also in intellect. World history, general science, and e conomic s were aptly handl ed by Mr. Russell, this year which was his first year a t U.H.S. His home town is Peru, Nebras ka , whe re he attended Ne braska Sta te Teachers' College. He has a B.S. in S duca tion. - 6- Mr. Russell Solberg is a s grea t a hunte r, in his field, as " Orion" is. One of his duties is to hunt out and develop the potential in possi ble athle tes. " Numbers " pl ay an important part in his teaching: The number of points in a basketball game , the number of errors in a typing test, the numbers in bookkeeping, not to mention the number of accidents on the highway dis cussed in drivers education class. Formerly teachin g in Nebraska, he did obtain part of his s chooling a t Wayne Sta te Teache rs' College, where he received his B. A. in 1956. Mr. Melvin Rogers might be known as " Betelgeuse" for he is certainly a " Supergiant" , not in si ze, but in his coaching and teaching c ap acities. Mr. Rogers' third year at Underwood is occupied with freshman an d sophomore English, physical education, track, and he is assistant baske tball coach. F rom his home town, Craig, Nebraska, he went to Dana College where he received his B.S. and then to Omaha U. whe re he received his M.S. Mr. Dare! Pennington has cast as bright a li gh t here as " Canopus " has in the heavens. His ma jor duty is teaching Junior and Senior English, although sponsoring "The Log", directing the Junior and Senior Class P l ays, and being in charge of the library are certainly not minor in any means. Hailing from Norfolk, Ne braska, Mr. Pennington received his B. A. in Education a t Wayne State Teacher' s College and also a ttended the University of Wisconsin for graduate work.

The Seniors' scholastic "Count down" began in 1948 when eleven shy kindergartners started school here at Underwood. The next milestone came with count "four" entering high school. Fifty-one green "Freshies" were initiated in U.H.S. in 1958. Now the final count is being witnessed by thirty-five seasoned Seniors. Seven of the original eleven have endured the test thus far. During counts "four", "three", "two," and "one" (their high school years) the Seniors have learned that scholastic courses plus extra-curricular activities constitute a well-rounded education which is essential in preparing for the future. Almost everyone has participated in some extra-curricular activity, and twelve experienced some leadership training by serving as officers in different organizations. Two boys and seven girls on the honor roll are proof that the scholastic courses have not been neglected. The "zero hour" is approaching when the Seniors will blast off into the future, but they are confident and well prepared to meet any obstacles. MOTTO: He who knows most knows best how little he knows. COLORS: Blue and Pearl FLOWER: Orchid - 15- Thirty-seven Juniors are climbing the stairsteps to the stars. This year, the third step, countless new responsibilities and experiences have been encountered. Courses in American His tory, En glish , geometry, chemistry, typing, bookkeeping, and Latin II were met and conquered. As the Juniors found out, the top two steps in the stairs, used only by upperclassmen, are truly golden. From the third step countless wonders were revealed.

Another coveted honor experienced was the receiving of the class rings, It is impossible to describe the feeling of at last earning the right to wear a class ring- it is an experience that must be encountered to be understood. The academic and extra-curricular activities have helped to prepare the Class of '62 for the next important step -the beginniilg of the end.

This class ranked highest in an intelligence test taken in our high school this year. As the expedition go t under way, they encountered such galaxies as business arithmetic, driver education, geometry, worl d history, English, Latin, shop, and biology, About seven of the students left their names in the Milky Way, or honor roll , each six weeks.

The girls activities were somewhat limited, but they did enjoy such activities as Pep Club, band, chorus, and Homemaking Club. The class itself enjoyed fun and excitement. This proved to be so by two swinging class parties spon• sored by Mr. Boos. Full of liveliness, spark, ambition and mischief, the class is also serious. During their trip this year they have met many problems and taken various orbits. And as the journey nears an end they find that they have achieved many goals in education at our Univers e, Underwood High. Ro w l: Maurine Ness, Linda Nielsen, Erne st Niemann.

Having already reached one-fourth of their goal, the Freshmen reali ze that they should work and keep trying these few short years to prepare themselves for this modern age in which we are all living. Maybe a saying s uch as, "Prepare yourself, it's later than you think", would help some of us. After a rigid entrance test called "Initiation", the Freshm'en felt officially accepted into high school. They then turned interjectically to English, Latin, homemaking, industrial arts, general math, science, and algebra. They dominated the honor roll each six weeks with approximately fourteen students each time. But the F reshmen are firm believers that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Their first semester party consisted of a dance centering around Yuletide decorations and Christmas cheer. Torneten's timber was the scene for their second semester party. All their activities, fun, and homework kept them occupied most of the time, therefore, leaving the space age worries up to Uncle Sam.

The cross-country team shortened its running time last fall and as a result won five track meets - which is quite a record. Members of the team are: Ronald Hough, Larry Bargenquast, Kenny Cohrs, Donald Hough, and Kirk McManamy. The track team traveled far to attend the track meets and each time the trip proved profitable. September 25 found the boys attending the Class B State Mile Team Race at Iowa City. Lakeview was the site of the Black Hawk Invitational Meet held in October. • Lit the c;Qace Just as a criminal returns to the scene of the crime, our track team re turned to the scene of a victory. The place was Iowa City for the Class B Cross Country Meet. Two words from Coach Rogers sums up his opinion of the team, "very successful". Just as one might suspect, he is looking forward to a "very successful" spring track season. Lettermen returning from last year's county championship team include: Ron Hough, distance; Larry Bargenquast, shot put and distance; Phillip Nelson, sprints and li:urdles; Kenny Cohrs, distance; Ernie Niemann, pole vault; Tim Christensen, sprints; Donnie Hough, distance; and Dick Churchill , sprints. "Cf'ep etub Cf'rouide" the ~eedea Spark" "Our boys will shine tonight, our boys will shine" was frequently heard throughout the year signifying another victory. And the team did shine brightly this year- as brightly as any star in the heavens. Each of the sixty four members of the Pep Club can feel that she may have helped the star shine a little brighter. By attending every game and joining in with enthusiastic cheers and peppy songs, the Pep Club gave loyal support to the team. The size, strength and following of the club made our opponents realize Underwood has not only a team, but a C LUB OFFICERS P resident ••..............••.•• Mary Berte lsen Vice-President .• • ••.•••....•••.

Just as a spaceman changes his space - suit when it becomes obsolete, the Pep Club changed its outfits this year. The out-dated uniforms were exchanged for snappy blue wool pleated skirts and white sweaters. A large white megaphone was also bought for the games.

Junior ~re'-'entiniJ - - ~he ~wenty - Second A capacity crowd was on hand December 12 to witness the 1960 Homecoming festivities. The evening commenced with a pair of thrilling basketball games with Carson-Macedonia from which Underwood emerged the victor both times, Following the games the marching band gave a delightful performance of /1 Junior Joins the Band", & a series oi precision maneuvers accompanied by novel music. As the band swung into the traditional 11 Alm a Mat er'', the royal court appeared. A large and enthusiastic crowd viewed: first ~oval eourt the crown bearers, Lena Jen son and Bruce Fellers: Nex t the cup bearer, Mark Hartwell, and the flower girl, Evelyn Newland.

P revious speculation was confirmed when Ellen Herrill and Larry Bargenquast appeared to be officially crowned King and Cueen of the 1960 Homecoming by Superintendent Knowlton. An informal dance sponiii ored by the Student Cabinet followed the Coronation. - 34- ~unior~ €~pLore tlte g,iela o1 ':Drama 11 All in the Family" provided much enjoyment for those a ttending the Junior Class P lay November 2 and 3. The three-act comedy emphasi zed a situa tion found in many homes today - the struggle to get the entire family together for an evening of family fun. The pl ay cen tered around the Mille r Family: Fred, Martha and their two children, Doris and George. In a high school physiology class the students had been discussing problems of the home and parents. George, an exceptionally bright pupil, was invited to be on a radio discussion panel. The subject was /1 Are Parents People?" Becoming interested in the problem faced in modem homes, George discussed the problems of the Miller family with his parents. Thus it was decided to have an evening in which the family was to stay home and enjoy becoming together once again. The evening did not turn out as George ha~ planned, and many amusing incidents resulted. Thirteen students took an active part in the play under the direction of Mr. Darel Pennington.

Mr. Russell As everyone knows, there are certain rules that are necessary whether you are here on earth or on the moon. Most girls agree that "charm" is one of these, so this year's program for the Underwood Homemaker's of Tomorrow was a course in charm conducted by Mrs. Bess Barnes. During the year, the 50 members learned the techniques of walking sitting, and standing correctly; make-up and hair-styling. Mrs. Barnes emph asized that your personality is reflected in whatever you do - whether it be walking, talking, or just plain smiling. Since everyone's different no one rule c an be given in charm that will benefit all. Each girl experimented on herself until she found the right hair style and make-up; she then learned how much to use and how to apply it. The cours e was concluded with a review given for the parents in which the girls, themselves, performed the various topics that they had been instructed in. The year was s upplemented by a candlelight install a tion service for the new officers, taking part in the Christmas program for the high school, and selling at a basketball game.

This year, their second year in existence, the boys' gl ee, girls' glee, and mixed chorus made notable improvement. Mr. Davis believes that practice leads to perfection so the vocal calendar was crammed full. On October 22 a mixed quartet entered All-State tryouts at Shenandoah and were picked to attend the All-State vocal concert a t Des Moines, November 25 and 26. December 11 found all vocal students who were inte rested journeying to Nebraska State Teachers College at Wayne, Nebraska, to hear the " Messiah". The next evening the mixed chorus sang Christmas Carols in Council Bluffs as a part of a ceremony to open the Christmas shopping season. The annual Christmas Concert was given by the vocal and instrumental departments on December 21. The three Choruses presen ted their numbers before a setting of stained glass windows. March was occupied with preparation for the Quad County Chorus at Harlan and the small group contest held April 7 and 8. Also, on April 22, there was a large group contest. Besides participating in these events, some small groups gained practice by singing at P . T.A. meetings, before Church organizations, Women's Clubs, and the assembly, at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and for Bacculaureate, and Commencement. - 39- "Zekiel Saw Da Wheel " is practiced for concert".

But, the success of the group rests upon the instructor. It is he who molds all the individuals into an effe ctive group.
