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.

Everyone should try the experience of traveling:' Summer is a freedo m from school th at provides numerous chances to experience new things and grow.

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.

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.

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.

Time to get the dress and tu xedo and make the hair and other appointments. That's what it takes to get ready fo r this spectacular night and that's what they did. Junior Jennifer Crozier said, "It took me two hours to get ready and my hair took the longest." The juniors began by voting on a theme, "Moment in Time", and colors, red and sil ver. They sent in vitati ons and the week before started to decorate the gyms and get everything ready for the big night.

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 . Crozier said, " I went to a fri ends house and tri ed to sleep." The prom, as always, made some memorable mo me nts for a ll who attended.

Whether their fulllre plans included going to a two or four year of college, joining the military or head ing straight into the work fo rce, many wo uld surely suceed. Each had their own idea of what they wanted to do. Salul atorian Tomi Tol er said, "After high school T plan on going to the Uni versity of Mis ouri-Colum bia and majori ng in engineering. " Robbie Stuart. on the other hand, said, "I plan on working fo r a couple of year to save up to go to college." After being in school for thirteen years they had plenty of memories to go around. 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. B~ Amber Finken Division 27 �"devoted to a specific purpose" Class was in session and the many dedicated employees, both in action and behind the scenes, were in commotion. 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. Many who walked in the door everyday with a smile on their face made it easier for the rest to stay dedicated .

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.

Some classes are more about hitting the creati ve parts of our brain rather th an the books of greater knowledge. Engli sh and art classes are two such classes th at work th e imag inati ve parts of learnin g. Engli sh is th e fund amental tool fo r ex pressing thou ghts and ideas. With Engli sh being such a n important fun c ti o n, it i vital fo r students to have a strong und erstandin g o f the subject. People use Engli sh to communicate with others and better understand what oth ers communi cate to the m. Witho ut Engli sh the forms of communication would be severely hampered. Students would not be able to ex press themselves properl y. Eng li sh teacher M r. Dermody complies. "When a student leaves he re and goes out into the real world to look for a jo b, they need to be abl e to sell the mse lves . They have to be able to communicate th eir value as a person o r as worke r or empl oyee." Senior Daryn Morriss also agrees to th e importance of Engli sh.

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. Al l social studies classes are important; students learn about people, relationships, the mind, governments, etc. and how thL) aU influence the world and those in it.

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.

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 .

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".

DC Trip At Random 15 �Juniors and seniors enjoy By: . . l esta Tho111as "A Midnight Stroll" at Prom. 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.

Meet the Marks The Class of 2004 had met the marks in high school and would set out on new paths. Over fourty planned to further their education at a college or technical institute and about a handful were going to enter the military. The few others were headed for the work force . Alicia Kenealy said, ·1will miss seeing everyone in class everyday. It's like moving away from the family you have grown up with." The class proceeded into the Commencement to "Pomp and Circumstance· before Class Vice President Kathryn Toler gave the invocation. Honor students Michaela Gray, Elizabeth Thielen, Salutatorian Chase Means and Valedidorian Cody Huebert then addressed fellow classmates and audience members. They spoke of special memories and gave some advice for the future . The ceremony also included music by both the band and choir, awarding of diplomas and presentation of scholarships. Class Secretary Kenn Knisely then gave a Benedidion before the class recessed out to "Fanfare and Recessional." The graduates then went their seperate ways. They would see what other marks they could meet. Above: Senior Jenny Dalton proceeds into the commencement ceremony along w ith he_r classmates.

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."

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.

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.

Photo by Mrs. Sarah Elliott. 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. Both were committed to making the school and community a better place. Student Council member junior Lacey Messerschmidt refills the fruit tray for the seniorI fa culty breakfast.

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 ."

"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 found leadership in senior captains Jessica Heimbaugh, Katie Sibert, Elizabeth Thielen and Kathrine Toler. 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 . Ausdemore set the record for kills in a season with 419, while Barrier had a team high of 761 assists.

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."

Photo by Jessica To many people dribbling a ball downcourt and shooting it into a hole with a net may not exactly be their idea of a fun sport. For the boys' basketball players, though, it was. 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.

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.

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. Although the stciff may hcive been nutty, they helped students and created a pos1t1ve school environment. a-1 1\dministrators '5ecretaries Kelly Dollen Tami Harman Angie HuserYJan Karen Kay Rhonda McKenzie Roberta Morse Brett I Janninga Sally l~ann1nga Steve Stafford Bnan : /edem".yer 26 People ~=-~~~~ l\ssociates �Josh Abel Jenny Berens Middle '8chool and lfigh '8chool Tmchers Mary Jane Buzbee Brenda Chmelka Carl Cochran Julie Coffey Sarah Elliott Jeff Fah Cass:e Harns Andy Hensley Larry Hornbostel Kevin Matulka er· <;rr SnPri1'1an ateS1nions Staff 27 �SCHOOL BOARD: Front: Nariey Cohen, Secretary Rhonda McKenzie, Mike Pettit.

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.

English and Spanish classes taught students how to speak intelligently. Math, business, and computer classes helped prepare students for the work force. Family consumer science, industrial technology, art, and physical education classes also helped butld beautiful minds. Students were able to loo at areas of the workforce they might have wanted to consider doing after high school. Academics may have seemed like nuisances at times.

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.

Science and agricultural courses gave students a wide range of knowledge they could use in everyday life, including the "Laws of Attraction".

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.

It really opens up conversation." That may be true, however, the elective Spanish classes were difficult for some students. 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.

The organizations and the experiences they provide teach students "How to Deal." Often the organizations offer students leadership opportunities. For example, some students try their hardest t o be the capta ins or presidents of organizations like Drama, Student Council and NHS. In Instrumental and Vocal Music the seniors learned how to influence and push the underclassmen to strive to be their best. Learning to work together Ii ea team was the main goal of the Drill Team and Cheerleaders, while boosting school spirit. was an added bonus. The leadership opportunities helped prepare students for their f uture. At the end of the day, besides dealing with t he extra students also went away knowing they helped fulfill someone's life.

"The Village" 1s important to the school and its success; without the contributions and don2t1ons of trme and money, the school could not run as it does. 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. The monitary contributions from parents cind other community organizations and/or members go towcirds supporting cidditions, renovations, new equipment cind much, much more.
